Over The World, Beyond Heaven

After Zi-Leng-Kong's energy level advancement was completed, Zheng-Fu immediately started repairing the light-element tactical formation. As for Zi-Leng-Kong, Zheng-Fu had him adjust the energy balance in a corner of the room. Because the faster Zi-Leng-Kong could balance his energy, the more useful it would be in the battle.

Back to the situation outside, at the Zi Clan and Ma Clan's defense position...

Thump! Thump! Thump!

"Report, sir, City Governor!!"

Hah!?

"What happened? Why do you look so shocked?"

While Zi-Dong-Lei was having a meeting with the pillar elders of the two clans, a soldier suddenly ran in and handed him a report.

Blop!

Ah!

Booooooom!!!

When Zi-Dong-Lei finished reading the report, his expression changed. The veins on his face started to bulge out with anger before he exploded with such a huge amount of energy that the people around him had to take a step back.

"Wha… what… what happened, Big Brother?" Zi-Dong-Lei's Second Brother asked in shock.

"Did something bad happen, sir, City Governor?" Ma-Li-Wei also wanted to know what happened. Why did the always calm and composed Zi-Dong-Lei become so angry?

"Someone abducted my Furen while she was on her way to the safe area. The culprits killed all the guards. Only her maidservant was taken with her." Zi-Dong-Lei slowly gathered his composure and put away the energy waves he had released before explaining to the others what had caused him to be so angry.

What did you say?!

"Sister-in-law was kidnapped? How is that possible?! All of her guardians were advanced Deity Monarch Stage cultivators. Only those at the Great Deity Stage and above could deal with them. And most of the people at that level were on the battlefield, ... except for... Mou Clan's Third Elder! Could it be his..."

"Stop! We can't accuse anyone yet. You shouldn't say that without evidence. Right now, we don't know who exactly abducted my Furen. First, we need to send someone to investigate. The fact that they captured her shows that they're trying to use her as a bargaining chip with me!"

Zi-Dong-Lei calmed down and looked very sensible. He controlled his emotions and could guess the situation well. He could tell that the enemy had not harmed his wife yet. If they were going to do it, they would have killed her instead of abducting her. So, he believed that it was an abduction to use her to bargain with him. However, the reason he was so calm was that he had already learned about this from Zheng Fu and that his wife was safe. What he had just acted out was just a play that Zheng Fu had asked him to do.

Umm!

"But other than them, I can't think of anyone else who did it. I believe everyone here thinks the same as I do!" The Second Elder continued to speak, ignoring his elder brother's objection. Since he knew that, other than the Mou Clan, no one would dare to do something like that.

"Well! However, we still have no evidence that it was their work. We'll discuss how to deal with this issue once we know who the culprits are. And I entrust this duty to you. Your sister-in-law's life depends on your ability!"

All right, Big Brother!

"I'll do my best! I won't let anything happen to Sister-in-law. And if anything happens to her, I'll never let those hellish beasts go!"

"Thank you, my brother!"

After entrusting the task of finding the culprits who abducted his wife to his second younger brother, Zi-Dong-Lei ordered the meeting to be adjourned. He used the excuse that his wife was abducted to return to his residence.

Not only did the people who attended the meeting know about this incident, but some groups of people also knew about it. They spread the news by word of mouth, ensuring it spread throughout the city. However, the group of people who did so were Zi-Dong-Lei's close subordinates. Because he wanted to let the news reach the Mou Clan, the culprits behind it.

"What did you say?! Where did you hear this rumor? Is it true?!"

"It's definitely true! This is inside news. The City Governor's Furen was really abducted. Actually, it happened a while ago, but the City Governor just received the report."

Umm!

"Who the hell dared to do such a thing? Aren't they afraid of the City Governor?!"

"If they were afraid, would they dare to do such a horrible thing?"

"Sigh! I hope the City Governor finds the criminal and his wife quickly. I also want to know who did this!"

Hey!

"What nonsense are you guys talking about?"

Clan Leader!

"We're... we're talking about..."

Hah!?

"Really?! If that's the case, I have to tell everyone about this immediately!"

Hah!

Clan Leader!

"How come! You guys continue working, understand!?"

Ah!

Yes, sir!!!

The news of the City Governor's wife being abducted spread very fast. It was faster than the fire burning the dry grassland.

Inside the main tent of Mou Clan's defense position...

"What did you say?!! The lamb was taken away?!"

"Yes..., yes, sir, Clan Leader. Master Elder personally sent this report. He still doesn't know who took the lamb away."

Damn it!

Huh!

You rascals!

Mou Clan Leader was furious when he learned that the lamb he wanted to use to bargain with Zi-Dong-Lei had been taken away. He could not think of who knew about the plan to abduct the lamb and interfere. However, he was certain that it could not be Zi-Dong-Lei's people. Because if Zi-Dong-Lei had known, the situation in Zi-Dong-Lei would definitely not be this peaceful.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

"Report, sir, Clan Leader! There's a rumor that City Governor Furen was abducted, and it has spread throughout the city, sir. Right now, Zi Clan's Second Elder is gathering warriors in the clan to search for the culprits, sir!"

Hah!?

Mou Clan Leader was dizzy and could not think of anything. Since Zi-Dong-Lei had ordered his Second Elder to search for his wife, it showed that Zi-Dong-Lei had just learned about his wife being abducted, and the person who had taken away the lamb must not have been from Zi Clan.

"Could it be someone from the Gong Clan? Wait, no, it could be the Lun Clan. But the Xin Clan could have done something like this, too. Who the hell did it!? Who snatched my lamb!" The more Mou Clan Leader thought about that third party, the more he felt a headache and resentment. He almost vomited blood because of this.

"Send an order to Third Elder to return to the battlefield!" The Mou Clan Leader thought that what he should do right away was to make the Mou Clan nothing noticeable. Because the fact that the Third Elder did not participate in the battle this time might cause others to suspect. Therefore, he quickly ordered the Third Elder to return to the battle as soon as possible. However, that was not enough...

"Wait! Tell Third Elder to break one of his legs before coming!" After the Mou Clan Leader thought about it, he concluded that it would not be good for the Third Elder to come normally, so he ordered him to break one of his legs first. It was also to punish him for not guarding the lamb properly.

Yes, sir, Clan Leader!

Half an hour later…

The sky was getting darker and darker, with only a little bit of sunlight left. It seemed that the sky that day had darkened earlier than usual. Originally, Zheng-Fu had estimated that he would have fifty minutes to an hour, but now it seemed he had only forty minutes. And half an hour had passed, so he only had ten minutes to finish repairing the light element tactical formation.

In the past half hour, Zheng-Fu had only been able to repair a few damaged spell characters. That was because they had other spell characters hidden in them. Zheng-Fu only realized this when he started repairing the second spell character.

Damn!

"Why did it turn out like this? I didn't expect there to be more spell characters hidden here. And I don't know how much time I have left. Being down here makes me not know the exact time!" Zheng-Fu started to feel a little pressured because he had very limited time. Moreover, he felt that if he could not finish it in ten or fifteen minutes, something bad would happen.

"Never mind! There's only one spell character left now. If there are other spell characters hidden in it, I'll just repair them!" Zheng-Fu stopped complaining and focused on repairing the last damaged spell character. It was the spell character that connected the first and second layers of tactical formation.

Flop! Flop! Flop!

At the Demon Monster Beast Boundary Hill...

"Is everything ready?"

"Yes, sir, Master! Now, all that's left is to wait for the daylight to disappear, and the night of terror and death will begin. And when the Shadow Group attacks, we'll reinforce them to make the enemies unable to defend against us. And finally…, they'll be completely defeated!" The scheming monkey demon monster beast replied to its king, who was the supreme commander. It had already planned everything, and it believed that its plan would definitely succeed.

"They have the defensive device called tactical formation, don't they? If they activate that tactical formation…, what are we going to do?" The snake demon monster beast, who had been alive for a long time and knew a bit about tactical formation, asked that monkey demon monster beast with a slightly sarcastic expression.

"I have already dealt with that matter. Huh, huh, huh! Their tactical formations right now are useless, so no matter what..."

Booooooom!!!

Hah!?

However, as the monkey demon monster beast was speaking confidently, a bright golden light appeared, surrounding Demon's Hill City. The golden light not only illuminated several tens of li away from the city walls, but it also contained divine energy that affected all kinds of negative energy. Anyone with negative energy in their body would be affected by it, let alone the demon monster beasts, because they were all full of negative energy.

"What is that light?! Didn't you say they couldn't use tactical formation?" When the snake demon monster beast saw the opportunity, it did not hesitate to immediately criticize the monkey demon monster beast.

But... it's...

Thud!

"Master, I was wrong! Please forgive me. I'm sure that their tactical formation really couldn't be used before, but I don't know why they suddenly..."

"Don't have to say anything! It's not your fault. It might be because of that guy!"

Hah!?

That guy?!

The ambiguous words of their king made the generals and commanders wonder who the person it was talking about. Since the start of their attack, they did not see a single one standing out in the fight. If there was anyone, the City Governor seemed to be the strongest.
