Chapter 2371 - 2061: As Expected, an Ambush
Cloud Cliff City.
The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, thick black clouds covered the sunlight, it was supposed to be day, but now it seemed like night.
In the distance, thunderous clouds rolled in, with eerie cries constantly emanating from within, sending chills down one’s spine.
At this moment, within the clouds, Blood Pupil Deceit King and other Earth Realm Strange silently observed the low city wall in the distance.
Eternal Darkness Deceit King furrowed his brow and said, "Something seems off."
"Why do I feel there’s a strange aura within Cloud Cliff City?"
Though their ability to detect wasn’t as strong as Yun Yudie’s, they were strange beings after all. As long as they were strange, they could perceive the aura of their kin, even if the other concealed it, their deceitful evil would still resonate.
Silent Night Deceit King said, "It’s normal to have strange beings; those cities we decimated also had evil spirits and strange entities."
The number of strange entities in Dazhou isn’t too many, nor too few.
Many remote cities also have strangeness lurking within the human world.
Those strange entities, to avoid capture by the Deceit Suppression Bureau, secretly devour blood food, choosing remote cities to stay.
Though Eternal Darkness Deceit King’s influence was strong, not all strange beings were willing to follow them. Dazhou still had many scattered strange entities hiding in the human world.
Silent Night Deceit King didn’t find anything amiss about strange entities appearing in Cloud Cliff City,
he simply thought Eternal Darkness Deceit King was being overly sensitive.
However, at this moment, Blood Pupil Deceit King also spoke, "Indeed, something feels off. Everyone, stay alert."
Speaking, Blood Pupil Deceit King’s pupils emitted a strong red light.
His eyes glanced at the soldiers on Cloud Cliff City’s walls.
The soldiers in Cloud Cliff City wore tattered armor and held rusty weapons, their numbers not many; nevertheless, they gave Blood Pupil Deceit King a faint sense of danger.
As deceit kings, they all possessed the ability to sense danger.
Even though Cloud Cliff City appeared to be a dilapidated little city, it made Blood Pupil Deceit King feel uneasy.
Coupled with the presence of strange aura within Cloud Cliff City, it made one suspect if Yun Yudie led the Prince’s Mansion men to ambush inside Cloud Cliff City.
Upon hearing Blood Pupil Deceit King’s words, Tribulation Abyss Deceit King asked, "Should we continue?"
Tribulation Abyss Deceit King also felt something amiss; if Cloud Cliff City gave them a bad feeling, it’s better to retreat.
After all, there wasn’t much blood food in Cloud Cliff City, they didn’t need to take such a big risk.
What if there really was an ambush inside Cloud Cliff City? Their situation is not as stable as before, knowing the Prince’s Mansion has things that could suppress several deceit kings, if the Prince’s Mansion brought those things, a few might not escape.
Blood Pupil Deceit King thought for a moment, ultimately said, "Let’s withdraw, it’s not worth the risk for this little blood food."
Simultaneously, on Cloud Cliff City’s walls, seeing the black fog in the distance rolling like a tide not advancing, Yun Yudie said to Lu Chen beside her, "They must have sensed my aura."
Yun Yudie knew, even if she restrained her strange aura, they could vaguely perceive her presence.
Even if they didn’t know her identity, they definitely knew there were strange beings within Cloud Cliff City.
Blood Pupil Deceit King’s cautious nature likely wouldn’t take risks.
If they didn’t act soon, those four deceit kings would definitely flee.
Lu Chen looked at the rolling black fog in the distance and said to Fan Yaodong beside him, "In that case, let’s take action."
As Lu Chen’s words landed, Fan Yaodong leapt from the wall, transforming into several shadows, rushing towards the rolling black fog.
Seeing Fan Yaodong and others appear, Blood Pupil Deceit King said, "Indeed, there’s an ambush."
Without any hesitation, the four deceit entities turned to leave.
To buy time for their escape, Blood Pupil Deceit King ordered the evil spirits and deceit seals to attack Fan Yaodong and his team.
Turning into four shadows, they fled from the battlefield without looking back.
Seeing the overwhelming evil spirits and mysterious entities, Lu Chen smiled at Yun Yudie beside him and said, "Wife, it’s all up to you now."
But not only could Blood Pupil Deceit King control evil spirits and mysterious entities; Yun Yudie equally could control them, and because she is the Ancestor of the Strange, she possesses soul suppression over all mysterious entities.
Additionally, her full recovery of strength from devouring Lu Chen’s vitality in a frenzy.
Once she releases her aura, those evil spirits and mysterious entities wouldn’t dare act rashly.
At this moment, Yun Yudie actively released her deceitful evil and pressure, a terrifying deceitful evil instantly enveloping Cloud Cliff City’s sky.
The next moment, those preparing to besiege Fan Yaodong and team froze, especially the mysterious entities, familiar with Yun Yudie’s deceitful evil, overwhelmed, feeling pressure from their kin. They were in a daze.
How could humans have a deceit king? It looked as though that deceit king has pledged allegiance to humans, what is happening?
Most weren’t clear about the current situation, but a small portion, previously separated from the Heavenly Fate Sect, understood whose aura it was.
Those from the Heavenly Fate Sect didn’t hesitate, immediately lowered themselves onto the ground; with the first one kneeling, others followed suit, kneeling too.
Seeing this scene, Fan Yaodong and his Deceit Suppression Bureau comrades were stunned.
These mysterious entities and evil spirits were intimidatingly rushing to attack them, why suddenly kneel? What is happening?
At this moment, Earth Realm Strong Persons from the Deceit Suppression Bureau suddenly sensed something, turning to the woman on the wall emitting deceitful evil.
Seeing the fierce deceitful evil emitted from Yun Yudie, Fan Yaodong’s mouth twitched slightly.
They couldn’t believe the woman they interacted with for months was a strange entity, even a deceit king.
Why would a deceit king stay by Lu Chen’s side? Could it be the Prince’s Mansion aligning with the strange entities?
Considering this possibility, the Earth Realm Strong Persons of the Deceit Suppression Bureau broke out in cold sweat.
If the Prince’s Mansion allied with strange entities, merely Earth Realm Strong Persons wouldn’t leave alive.
At this moment Xiong Qingcang quietly said to Fan Yaodong, "My lord, the Prince’s Mansion colluding with strange entities, is this operation a plot against our Deceit Suppression Bureau?"
The Prince’s Mansion had many Earth Realm Strong Persons, coupled with five deceit kings, they were inadequate.
For a moment, the senior members of the Deceit Suppression Bureau were anxious, worried the Prince’s Mansion’s Earth Realm Strong Persons might attack from behind.
Upon hearing Xiong Qingcang’s words, Fan Yaodong’s face was solemn, frozen in place, neither pursuing those deceit kings nor preparing defense, just tightly gripping his Demon-slaying Blade.
To be honest, he didn’t know what to do now.
However, just as they feared this operation might be a plot against them, a more terrifying aura enveloped the whole battlefield.
The next moment, an elder beside Lu Chen ascended into the sky, emitting a blue-black spiritual evil seemingly imprisoning the entire realm.
