Facing the menacing Demon Snake behind him, That One handed the sword imbued with dragon form qi to the mysterious man who had taken him away. Despite his extremely grim expression, he had no choice but to lead him into a pre-arranged array.
Originally, they intended to use this large formation to deal with the enemies who were starting to stir up trouble in the shadows. Unexpectedly, not a single enemy appeared. Instead, they attracted a powerful Demon Snake that they had never seen or even heard of before!
What angered the mysterious man even more was that this Demon Snake was completely unrefined, appearing without any prelude and immediately opening its mouth to devour the entire Hang City, displaying its terrifying power.
For the sake of the lives of all the people in the city, and also for the sake of a quick victory, and of course, to lure out the demons lurking in the shadows, Sun Futai had no choice but to bite the bullet and draw the precious sword that His Majesty the Emperor had bestowed upon him in advance!
Indeed, this mysterious man was none other than Sun Futai, whom outsiders believed to have been banished to Hang City by Emperor The Sovereign of Xia. County Magistrate Sun.
Unfortunately, the Demon Snake was ferocious. Even though Sun Futai had drawn his sword, the dragon form qi attached to it still suffered greatly in the mouth of the Demon Snake.
To make matters worse, the dragon form qi on the sword has also been completely targeted by that Demon Snake!
If he were alone, even if he were to perish in the snake's belly today, he would never have led it into this great formation. After all, this great formation is related to their overall strategy, which is to wipe out all the invading enemies in one fell swoop. He would never activate this great formation for his own life.
But... who is it that the one being targeted now is not him personally, but the sword in his hand that is imbued with dragon form qi?
If he doesn't lure the Demon Snake into the formation, he will eventually be caught by the Demon Snake based on his own escape speed. At that time, it would be a small matter if he dies, but if the dragon form qi is devoured by that drooling Demon Snake, then he will truly be guilty of a thousand deaths!
Therefore, even in order to save the dragon form qi, he had to lure the Demon Snake into the great formation, because in his view, only this pre-arranged formation could take the life of the Demon Snake behind him.
Even if doing so means abandoning all the plans they initially made!
However, for the safety of dragon form qi, Sun Futai had no choice but to make this decision.
The dragon form Qi... Absolutely no mistake is allowed!
At this moment, Sun Futai felt a sudden pang of regret if he had known that Dao, this Demon Snake, was so troublesome, he should not have intervened, even if it meant watching Dao devour the entire Hang City!
But it was because of his momentary compassion that the dragon form qi was brought to such a perilous state—or rather, it was because of his momentary compassion that the entire Dragon lineage of the Great Xia Dynasty was brought to such a perilous state!
Indeed, what few people know is that this time, what he brought to Hang City was not a small branch of the Dragon vein of the Great Xia Dynasty, but the main Dragon vein that supported and protected the Great Xia Dynasty, ensuring its prosperity and peace!
Sun Futai knew that the reason His Majesty the Emperor had asked him to bring the main branch of the Dragon lineage to Hang City was because the situation of the Great Xia Dynasty had become extremely precarious.
To outsiders, the Great Xia Dynasty might seem to be at its zenith, while their His Majesty the Emperor... The Sovereign of Xia, on the other hand, had previously killed Immortal Court. The powerful Existence of the Old Undead, along with the Dragon lineage that brought together the luck of all the people of the Great Xia Dynasty, ensured that the Great Xia Dynasty enjoyed favorable weather, peace, and prosperity. Everything seemed to be a thriving and prosperous era.
However, in reality, things are far more complicated than they appear.
Back then, their Great Xia Dynasty's His Majesty the Emperor The Sovereign of Xia did indeed kill one of the Old Undead who truly controlled the rise and fall of the Immortal Court, but... their His Majesty the Emperor was also seriously injured in that war, and now, five hundred years later, he has not yet recovered.
However, the group of Old Undead who truly ruled the Immortal Court was far more than one person. If they hadn't all suffered unimaginable devastation at the end of the " Mythological Era " a thousand years ago, the Great Xia Dynasty would probably be nothing today, let alone be able to rival the Immortal Court.
Originally, the Great Xia Dynasty should have had no problem maintaining its stable rule. However, some time ago, Demon Abyss, which had disappeared from the sight of the people for a thousand years, actually showed a faint trace of its presence in the world again. Although the time it showed its presence was not very long, it is certain that Demon Abyss... still exists in the world!
And Demon Abyss Along with Qi, several Demon Abyss leaders also appeared.
If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. But what made all the rulers and ministers of the Great Xia Dynasty extremely distressed was that among those great Devil Heads, one tiger demon with an overwhelming Evil Qi had actually been forcibly converted to a master by the villain in the Immortal Court who used the golden hoop —the " Evil True Person "!
With the addition of that tiger demon, the Immortal Court's power has greatly increased. Now, it has driven the Imperial Dynasty's immortal army, which has been confronting the Great Xia Dynasty for many years, into a series of defeats. The Sovereign of Xia had no choice but to transfer all the imperial guards protecting the capital to the front line to reinforce the Imperial Dynasty's immortal army.
In addition, in order to suppress the "wild ghosts and gods" in various places within its territory, the Great Xia Dynasty had to spare some of its forces to deal with them, which made the Great Xia Dynasty's military strength even more stretched.
At this time, the safety of the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, " Xia City," was entirely protected by the Sovereign of Xia and several Imperial Dynasty retainers.
The extreme emptiness of Xia City, the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, allowed some demons and monsters who regarded the Great Xia Dynasty as a thorn in their side to start making connections and attempt to deliver a fatal blow to the Great Xia Dynasty when it was at its weakest.
Some demons and even Secret forces were watching all this with cold eyes. Once the Great Xia Dynasty showed the slightest sign of weakness, these onlookers would immediately turn into jackals and tigers and viciously bite off a large chunk of flesh from the Great Xia Dynasty's body to feast on!
Therefore, in order to save the Great Xia Dynasty from its precarious situation, The Sovereign of Xia had no choice but to take a risky gamble. He used Sun Futai's "fierce reputation" among demons and monsters to lure all the demons and monsters who were hostile to the Great Xia Dynasty to the vicinity of Hang City and then wipe them out in one fell swoop!
In order to ensure the success of the plan, The Sovereign of Xia activated all the spies he had painstakingly planted among the Devil Heads over the past few centuries, and finally got them to choose Sun Futai as the "sacrificial offering" before overthrowing the Great Xia Dynasty
