Chapter 396: Creepy (II)
"Brother Lin, there's no need not be so modest," Wei Yun said with a smile. He gestured for Lin Zheyu to sit and poured him a cup of wine."What is the situation like now?" Lin Zheyu asked.
"It is somewhat troublesome. The endless demon puppets are only a secondary concern. Those creatures lack intelligence and act on instinct. We only need to prevent them from breaching the defenses. The real problem lies with the rats hiding in the dark. Ancient yao, the barbarian tribes, the Nine Nether Sect, the Painful Sacred Church and other forces have all joined in, hoping to seize a share during this turmoil," Wei Yun said with a slight frown.
"Is it that complicated? Has the Buddhist sect not joined us? Have they not taken action?" Lin Zheyu asked.
"They acted long ago. Without the Buddhist sect suppressing the demon cave in the west, a demon calamity would have already erupted. A demon calamity is far more terrifying than these forces," Wei Yun replied, shaking his head.
The demon cave was called so because it contained several massive space-time nodes that could not be sealed and could only be suppressed by great formations. Even so, the land had long been corrupted by the foul energy leaking from the nodes into demon-tainted soil. Yaos and demons often broke through the formations, making the area chaotic. If Great Wei had not cooperated early with the Buddhist sect to share the burden, the western demon cave would have already collapsed into disaster.
"Haha, do not worry. The army of Great Wei is not weak. Those rats in the shadows only dare hide and scheme in darkness," Wei Yun said with a laugh.
After a few cups of wine, Lin Zheyu prepared to take his leave and begin patrol in the mountain forests. The defensive line was guarded by the City Guard, whose military formations could stop even a Grandmaster realm yao or demon if it came alone. However, such formations lacked flexibility. Tasks like forest patrols and hunting demon puppets had to be handled by powerful martial artists.
"Liang Cheng."
"At your command!"
"Deliver this confidential letter to Cold Wind Tower and hand it personally to Deng Yuanzhi," Wei Yun ordered.
"Yes, Sir." Liang Cheng received the letter respectfully and departed swiftly.
