How could everyone miss such an excellent opportunity to annihilate the Mountain Peak Corpse? This time, the Mountain Peak Corpse was certainly doomed.
Several destructive forces flew towards the Mountain Peak Corpse simultaneously. The Mountain Peak Corpse had nowhere to escape, and its once arrogant eyes were now completely lifeless!
"Buzz..."
Suddenly, the world trembled!
Behind the fleeing Mountain Peak Corpse, a strange hole appeared, like a spatial black hole that sucked in all power!
"That's... the Hole of Chaos!" Han Ji stared, stunned.
Everyone else's faces turned ashen. Just as the Mountain Peak Corpse was about to be slain, their killing moves were sucked away by the suddenly appearing Hole of Chaos.
"How terrifying... Our combined attack, from so many people, was completely swallowed by the Hole of Chaos!!!"
However, what rushed out of the Hole of Chaos was not the destructive energy from before. Like a bizarre space-time gate opening, the swirling chaotic whirlwind spat out Lin Chen and the others!!!
The incredibly powerful Mountain Peak Corpse suddenly turned, knelt towards the distance, and then, as if receiving a command, took large strides towards the outside of the city.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
Every step the Mountain Peak Corpse took caused an earth-shattering sound, and with each step, a mysterious undead army outside the inner city would sink into the mud.
Most of the corpse army had the ability to burrow underground. The vast sea of corpses permeated beneath the city ruins in just a few minutes. Judging by the unusual fluctuations from the ground, these tens of thousands of corpse soldiers were gradually moving away with the Mountain Peak Corpse, or rather, with the Ancient King...
At the same time, in the direction of the other three cities, the undead armies also retreated. The dense masses of undead dispersed and left almost instantaneously!
"We survived..."
"They're gone, all gone, no undead left, not a single one!!!"
"We won, we won!!!"
A cheer suddenly erupted within the city. The light of dawn was already bright. The dark clouds were still there, and the rain was still falling, but none of that mattered anymore. As long as the undead army was gone, this city was saved, and they had survived!!!
On the city walls, countless Mages collapsed to the ground. This catastrophe had squeezed out all the potential from their bodies. They had prepared to die, but they never expected to have endured until now and still be alive, witnessing the retreat of the undead tide with their own eyes!!!
After the undead army left, Lin Chen kept watching S煞渊. Iilex, who had accompanied him for decades, now had his best home. Lin Chen felt reluctant, but more than that, he felt blessed.
Along the way, Iilex had given him a lot of help. Two lonely souls from different worlds met, leaning on each other, finding warmth together!
"Take care..."
...
As the tide of undead receded, various parties could finally send in support.
Countless helicopters circled above the inner city, frequently transporting supplies to the city. Batches of builders began to reconstruct the city, but to ensure the undead would not attack again, they only expanded various shelters around a three-kilometer radius of the inner city.
The rain stopped on the third day. The survivors were also housed in temporarily constructed dwellings. High walls enclosed everyone inside, which at least felt safer.
This place was different from Bo City. Aside from coexisting with the undead, it was still a fertile land. Most importantly, it had a history of thousands of years. No matter how strong the wind or how heavy the rain, it never completely destroyed this place. The city would only be rebuilt after being riddled with holes, and most of the people here would not abandon this land!
The high-ranking officials of the Magic Association met with Lin Chen to express their gratitude.
Although Lin Chen did not explicitly state it, everyone knew that the greatest contributor to this shocking event in Ancient Capital was Lin Chen. Although Mo Fan awakened Devil magic, when the undead retreated, Mo Fan was deeply entangled in the undead army.
Everyone had their secrets. Mo Fan awakened Devil magic, and Lin Chen also had his secrets; otherwise, how could he have saved Ancient Capital?
The high-ranking officials of the Magic Association discussed it and finally decided to hide the achievements of both to protect them.
Especially Mo Fan. Lin Chen's strength was no less than a Super Mage, but Mo Fan's magic was different; he still needed more time to grow. Once it was announced that he had awakened Devil magic, Mo Fan might become a guinea pig someday!
If Mo Fan and Lin Chen were to suffer any misfortune, once the millions of people in Ancient Capital found out, no one would be able to withstand that anger.
Just like the Mu Clan now. Mu He's identity has been revealed. After the Mu Clan found out, they expelled everyone from Mu Zhuoyun's lineage from the Mu Clan.
Even though Mu Ningxue's talent was extremely high, she still could not escape the fate of being abandoned.
Compared to the original work, Mu Ningxue at this time was already vastly different. At this point, Mu Ningxue had not only become a Super Mage long ago, but her spirit power level had also reached the Titled Douluo level.
However, Mu Ningxue had always hidden her strength very well; even Mu Zhuoyun did not know her true power.
If the Mu Clan ever found out about Mu Ningxue's strength, they would probably regret it immensely. This was undoubtedly the potential for Forbidden Magic!
As for money, Mu Ningxue was not lacking at all. Every Spirit had the ability to absorb and fuse demon essence. Mu Ningxue's Ice Crystal Brake Bow was no exception. This was equivalent to Mu Ningxue having a cheat like Mo Fan's Xiao Bai.
If she needed money, selling some essence would easily net her a few small goals!
After leaving Ancient Capital, Lin Chen immediately called Mu Ningxue.
"I already know about the Ancient Capital situation. Thank you. Are you hurt?"
As soon as the call connected, Mu Ningxue's clear and gentle voice rang out.
"I'm fine. How are things on your end?" Lin Chen asked.
Mu Ningxue laughed, "Just like that, I guess. Our lineage is having a hard time in the Imperial Capital now!"
Hearing Mu Ningxue's laughter, Lin Chen was slightly relieved. Clearly, Mu Ningxue's mindset was still good.
Lin Chen asked, "What are your plans next?"
"Hmm... How about we come to you? Would you welcome us?" Mu Ningxue asked after a moment of thought.
Lin Chen laughed, "Of course, I welcome you, but how will you explain it to your father?"
Lin Chen was also quite curious about Mu Zhuoyun's embarrassed look. The Lin Family and Mu Family had a decent relationship, and Lin Chen and Mu Ningxue had been childhood sweethearts. It was only after Lin Chen's parents died unexpectedly that Mu Zhuoyun began to keep his distance.
Now, the status of the two families had completely reversed. It was quite amusing to think about.
Mu Ningxue said, "My father probably suspects something about us... I'm not going to explain. He'll understand when the time comes!"
Mu Ningxue was well aware of the relationship between the two families. She was also quite curious about Mu Zhuoyun's reaction at that time!
