Chapter 499 - 499 Taking Charge of The Holy King City



“We’ve also received news from Gui Nian that the City Lord’s mansion has been making moves recently. It seems like they’re gathering supplies for war.”

Chang Shi added.

“Gathering supplies for war?”

Lin Qiye was slightly surprised.

His recent actions might have angered the City Lord, but it was definitely not enough to make him mobilize so many people to come and crusade against him.

“The specific situation is still unclear. Gui Nian is currently investigating, but he should be able to send back news soon.”

Butcher also felt that the City Lord would not send out troops so easily.

After all, the price for that was too high. Even if they chased Lin Qiye away, they wouldn’t get any benefits.

Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and immediately connected to Gui Nian through the Reflection Pearl.

Gui Nian, who was in Holy King City, suddenly sensed Lin Qiye’s consciousness and was shocked.

“My Lord!”

He calmed his heart and greeted Lin Qiye respectfully.

“What’s the situation in Holy King City recently?”

Lin Qiye’s voice rang out in Gui Nian’s mind.

“My Lord, the situation is a little complicated. War supplies are being collected everywhere in the city.

“It’s not just the City Lord. Even the other forces are taking action. It seems like there’s a big operation.

“By the way, Luo Xiaobei also agreed to meet me today. He said he has important information for you.”

Gui Nian briefly explained the situation.

Lin Qiye secretly guessed.

Perhaps the actions of the major forces in Holy King City were related to the information Luo Xiaobei wanted to tell them.

“Where’s Luo Xiaobei?” Lin Qiye asked.

“He should be here soon,”

Gui Nian’s line of sight was shared with Lin Qiye’s sea of consciousness.

What he saw was a rather remote teahouse. It was quiet, and there were no signs of activity.

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and lean young man appeared on the screen.

“Xiaobei, over here!”

Gui Nian greeted Luo Xiaobei warmly. They had been getting along very well and had become close friends.

“Brother Gui Nian.”

Luo Xiaobei smiled as he walked up to Gui Nian.

Gui Nian didn’t waste any words with him and said, “I’m currently communicating with the Lord. Quickly tell him the information you’ve obtained.”

Luo Xiaobei knew that Gui Nian had a treasure that could establish a direct connection with Lin Qiye, so he was not surprised. He looked into Gui Nian’s eyes and bowed respectfully.

“Greetings, my Lord.”

“Just say it. I’ll relay the Lord’s words to you,” Gui Nian reminded.

Luo Xiaobei nodded and began to talk about the information he had.

“I was suddenly summoned when I was out on a mission. As soon as I returned to the city, the branch’s Lord Shang Yuan personally met all the members of our special organization.”

At this point, Luo Xiaobei seemed to realize it was inappropriate to address someone as ‘Lord’ in front of Lin Qiye, so he quickly added, “Shang Yuan is the hidden expert of the Evil Slayer Sect who is stationed in the Holy King City branch. His strength is at the Immortal Realm, and his responsibility is to be in charge of our special organization.

“The special organization within the Evil Slayer Sect was a group of high-level cultivators whose strength was at least in the Embodier Realm.

“Very few people in the outside world knew of our existence. Our task was to deal with matters related to demons.

“Shang Yuan called us this time because of a major crisis. Although he didn’t explain it clearly, it should be related to those demons!”

Luo Xiaobei knew Lin Qiye’s focus on the demons, so when he received the information, he immediately contacted Gui Nian.

“Related to the demons? What crisis? Even Immortal Realm experts are treating it so seriously?”

Gui Nian was a little surprised. At the same time, he relayed Lin Qiye’s question.

“I’m not too sure about the exact situation, but the crisis isn’t just about the Evil Slayer Sect. All the major forces have been involved. I heard some people in the organization say that it seems to be related to some prophecy,” Luo Xiaobei said the information he had received.

Lin Qiye fell into deep thought after hearing this.

A prophecy? Moreover, it was a prophecy related to demons.

He thought about the actions of the various forces and that so-called crisis.

Lin Qiye quickly made a guess.

It was likely that a large-scale demon invasion would occur again. Moreover, the higher-ups of the human race had already foreseen it in advance, so they had entered such a tense state.

“It’s going to be troublesome. I haven’t reconstructed my body yet. When the demons attack, it’ll be hard to fight them.”

“How much longer until the crisis?”

Gui Nian relayed Lin Qiye’s words to Luo Xiaobei.

“There’s no way to be sure about this, but according to the speculation of the sect’s higher-ups, it could be as short as a year or two and as long as a few decades. However, according to the frequency of the demon activities, I think the problem will go out of control in five to six years.”

Luo Xiaobei shared his guess.

The shortest was one or two years, and the longest was five or six years.

Lin Qiye’s heart sank. It was about the same time as he had estimated, but the problem was very serious.

‘Looks like I’ll have to complete my physical body construction within a year.’

Without a physical body, he had no power to resist.

Lin Qiye was well aware of the problem’s severity. He began to consider expanding his sphere of influence to gather enough materials.

However, at the same time, he also had to pay attention to the movements of the demons, as well as any information regarding the Seven-Headed Demon.

He sent Gui Nian another message. “Have you collected any information about the demons recently?”
