When the ear-piercing alarm sounded throughout Shang Jing, chaos and commotion ensued.
Although it was already late at night, few people were asleep. No one could fall asleep in such an atmosphere. Everyone was staying up late to watch the live broadcast of the competition.
Bang!
Along with the sound of tires screeching against the ground, the sound of cars colliding, and the exclamation of exclamations, people kept running out of major neighborhoods and shopping malls. They came to the streets and looked up at the sky.
The Guardian Artifact floating in the void was emitting a strong yellow light at this time.
The yellow light was very gorgeous, as if it had dyed the starry sky into a hazy golden color.
However, this color made people feel terrified, and their hands and feet turned cold.
"It's a yellow alert!" People kept exclaiming in horror.
Yellow alert. This level of alert hadn't appeared for seven years.
The last time a yellow alert appeared, it was when two extradimensional portals appeared at the same time, and a large number of monsters outside the base city attacked.
Moreover, the previous time, they were notified three hours in advance and were prepared. It was completely different from the current situation.
"What happened? Are the monsters attacking?"
"The ground is not shaking, and there are no monsters howling. It can't be a monster attack."
"Could it be a new portal?
But that's impossible. Even if it's a new portal, it can't issue a yellow alert! "
On the streets and alleys, people were talking about it with serious and frightened expressions.
"Could it be an alien invasion?"
Someone guessed. As soon as this was said, the faces of the people around them turned pale.
Compared to other guesses, this was indeed the most likely.
They could not think of any other reason for a yellow alert to be issued except for an alien invasion.
This was Shang Jing!
It was the safest place among the twelve base cities with the highest housing prices and the most guardians.
The other base cities might issue a yellow alert, but Shang Jing was impossible.
"Alert the entire city. Go back to your homes now."
The patrol team and martial artists received the notice and began to evacuate the crowd.
Many people who reacted quickly rushed to the supermarkets and convenience stores to buy daily necessities.
Some people ran home quickly. There were elderly and children at home.
In just a moment, the originally lively atmosphere disappeared, leaving only fear and chaos.
At this time, no one was paying attention to the competition.
At this time, the Glory City Sports Center was also in a state of chaos.
When he heard the ear-piercing alarm, Linfeng's body trembled.
Not only Linfeng, everyone had the same reaction.
"Due to some unknown threat, the entire city is on high alert. Everyone, please stay in your seats and do not move to avoid causing chaos and trampling."
The voice of the host, Song Xiangrong, rang out in the stadium, accompanied by a very noisy discussion.
Although the host asked the audience to stay in their seats, many people still stood up and ran out of the stadium. However, they were stopped by the staff. At this time, the gate of the stadium was already closed.
"The stadium has been sealed off. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Please stay in your seats. The competition will continue."
Song Xiangrong tried to appease the audience, but no one was in the mood to watch the match.
They just want to know what happened.
I just want to go home and see my family.
Hearing the alarm, Linfeng's expression became unsightly. Yunkai and the others were also uneasy.
His original worry had become a reality, and it was a city-wide alert.
Could it be that the massacre of a city was going to happen again?
Is it because of our relationship this time?
At this time, except for Linfeng, Yunkai and the others also began to think. The more they thought about it, the more uneasy they became. They even began to wonder if they had done something wrong.
They even began to regret it.
Linfeng stood up and was about to leave the stadium. Yunkai and the others looked at each other and followed him without hesitation.
At this time, Ye Qiu, Huang Tianze, Zhan Tianyu, and Yang Ningbing also came to their side. Their expressions were serious and uneasy.
"You can't change anything even if you go out. It's safer here."
Seeing that Linfeng was about to leave, Bu Zheng stood in front of Linfeng and blocked his way.
Linfeng had a bounty of 100 billion on his head, and so did the others. In this chaotic situation, it was very dangerous.
Even he could not guarantee Linfeng's safety one hundred percent.
Lin Feng's footsteps paused for a moment before he walked to the right, wanting to bypass Bu Zheng's obstruction.
"In the base city, with the Divine Artifact and your protection, no one would dare to make a move. Therefore, it's the same everywhere."
Bu Zheng once again blocked Linfeng's way. He did not say anything, but his eyes and attitude had already explained everything.
"If it's really aimed at us this time, it's safer for us to leave."
Linfeng stood in his original position, looking at Bu Zheng and slowly said.
He also knew that staying in the stadium would be safer, but it would put the others in danger.
At this moment, there were over three hundred thousand spectators in the stadium. Although there were Fighters and Demon Spiritualists among them, most of them were ordinary people. There were also many students and children.
If this place were to be attacked, these people would not have the ability to protect themselves. The consequences would be very serious.
Although the possibility of this happening is very small, Linfeng did not want to take this risk.
Because if something were to happen here, it would be even more serious than the massacre of a city.
Bu Zheng's eyes flickered. However, this time, he did not stop Linfeng. He only followed closely beside him.
Behind Linfeng, Yunkai and the others followed closely behind.
Among them, Yunkai, Yu Qiao, Zhan Tianyu, Huang Tianze, Yang Ningbing and Ye Qiu have all hunted foreign races in Imperial Jade Seal City. Each of them has a bounty of over ten billion.
As for Yue Mingming and Dong Xiaomei, although they did not participate in this matter, as a member of the Hongyun Team and the Avengers Alliance, they felt that at this moment, they had to face the difficulties together.
The group of ten walked towards the entrance, attracting the attention of many people, including the professional players from the various clubs.
"Haha."
Seeing Linfeng's action, Ye Xing was slightly stunned. He immediately smiled and said, "I actually fell behind. It seems that I'm old and don't have the courage of a newbie."
He stood up and looked at his teammates, "Who wants to go out with me?"
His teammates looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Xie Yixiao said, "There's no use for us to go out. Why don't we just stay here and go out if there's a need?"
In his opinion, with the entire city on alert, the situation must be very serious.
At this moment, staying in the Sports Center was the safest. There was no need to go out and take risks.
There were many people who had this idea.
In their opinion, with their strength, even if they went out, they wouldn't be of much help.
At this moment, only the Guardians could be of use. With so many of them, they couldn't compare to a single Guardian.
Seeing that his teammates were silent, Ye Xing didn't say anything, but he was very disappointed in his heart.
These people have been in the Alliance for a long time. It seems that they have lost their courage and courage.
Xie Yixiao was fine. After all, he was injured. He had a reason not to go.
As for the other team members, they were all geniuses who refined demon spirits of Grade 9 and above.
As professional players, although their strength wasn't as strong as the Guardians, they were far stronger than Fighters and Demon Spiritualists of the same level.
If a Grade 9 Soaring Cloud expert didn't refine a demon spirit, he might not be their opponent.
Furthermore, as teammates, they had a tacit understanding with each other. If they were a team, even if they encountered a Martial King, they would have the ability to resist.
At this crucial moment, their usefulness wasn't small. It was just that some people pretended not to know and deliberately ignored them.
"I'll go with you."
Yun Tianqi stood up, patted his pants, and said.
His slightly mocking tone caused the faces of many professional players to change. Their gazes were somewhat evasive, but they still maintained their silence.
"Okay!"
Ye Xing glanced at Yun Tianqi, a trace of a smile flashing through his eyes.
They were both All-Stars, team captains, and Warriors. The two of them were old rivals.
But aside from being rivals, they were also friends.
Ye Xing approved of Yun Tianqi not only because of his strength, but also because of his personality and inner perseverance.
At this moment, Yun Tianqi didn't disappoint his approval.
"I'll go as well."
After Yun Tianqi stood up, five other people also stood up and chose to join.
The group of seven people quickly walked in the direction Lin Feng and the others had left.
Not long after Lin Feng and the others left the sports center, they heard a few muffled explosions and saw yellow fireworks blooming in the air.
"What?"
Lin Feng was somewhat puzzled. What did fireworks mean?
Could it be a new alarm system?
Before he could react, an ear-piercing shriek rang out. This shriek was similar to that of a demon beast, but it was extremely sharp.
Lin Feng turned to the northwest. There, a powerful evil aura was surging.
Although this aura was far less evil than that of a Nightmare Demon, it was much more powerful.
Under this aura, Lin Feng even felt a kind of pressure.
Lin Feng had been close to a king-level demon beast before, but even so, it only made his heart palpitate and beat faster. It didn't make him feel this kind of pressure.
Compared to the others, Yunkai felt it more strongly.
"Oh no!"
Bu Zheng's expression was somewhat ugly. Seeing Lin Feng's puzzled expression, he explained, "The Hong Clan's spiritual medium went out of control, and a novice monk appeared."
Spiritual medium!
This was the first time everyone had heard of this term, so they were somewhat confused.
They knew about the Hong Clan.
Among the Ten Great Clans in Shang Jing, the Hong Clan ranked second.
The Hong Clan wasn't like the other clans. For example, the Yang Clan's main business was weapon manufacturing and the Zhan Clan's main business was pill manufacturing. Although the Hong Clan also dabbled in various major industries, they mainly focused on developing extradimensional space portals.
The Ten Great Clans in Shang Jing all developed extradimensional space portals, but there weren't many of them, far fewer than the Hong Clan.
This kind of privately-developed extradimensional space portals were different from those developed by the government. They had to pay admission fees.
For seven-star and above space portals, a single admission ticket might cost 100,000 New Dollars.
The Hong Clan's daily income from admission fees alone might be hundreds of millions, not including other profits.
They also knew about the novice monk that Bu Zheng mentioned. It was a well-known name.
That was a Heaven-ranked demon beast!
A terrifying demon beast with the ability to control sand!
The strange thing was, how could a Heaven-ranked demon beast appear in a base city out of thin air?
A demon beast of this level had the power to destroy a city. How could it exist in a base city?
Wasn't it like placing a timed nuclear bomb in the base city?
"Is the novice monk sealed in the spiritual medium?"
Although Lin Feng didn't know what the spiritual medium meant, he could more or less guess.
"Yes."
Bu Zheng responded, but didn't explain too much. He looked towards the northwest with a serious expression.
At this time, there were already many experts flying in the sky. They were all guardians. Those below the king-level weren't even qualified to participate.
"Do you know?" Yu Qiao asked Zhan Tianyu.
Compared to their surprise and confusion, Zhan Tianyu and Yang Ningbing were much calmer. As one of the top ten families in Shang Jing, the two of them might know some secrets.
Zhan Tianyu said solemnly,
"Actually, just as Lin Feng guessed, the body of a spiritual medium can seal a demon beast, which is equivalent to a host. If the spiritual medium loses control, the demon beast sealed in the body may break free.
The patriarch of the Hong Clan once defeated a novice monk and sealed it in someone's body.
"Spiritual mediums are equivalent to war machines. They have some special functions in extradimensional space portals.
This is also the main reason why the Hong Clan can develop extradimensional space portals in large numbers. However, I don't know the specific functions. "
Yu Qiao said in surprise, "A Heaven-ranked demon beast can actually be sealed in a person's body? Won't it explode and die?"
Speaking of this, Yu Qiao thought for a while and asked,
"If even an Emperor-level demon beast can be sealed, wouldn't King-level demon beasts be even easier to seal? They can form a powerful …"
Before Yu Qiao could finish, he was interrupted by Zhan Tianyu, who shook his head.
"This is a secret technique of the Hong Clan. I don't know if they learned it from the Shenwu Continent or if they developed it themselves. Although I don't know the principles behind it, it's definitely not as simple as you say. Otherwise, the Hong Clan wouldn't only have one spiritual medium!
Furthermore, not everyone has the talent to become a spiritual medium. "
Just as everyone was marveling at this special technique, Yang Ningbing spoke up.
"Don't worry too much. The novice monk has been sealed for decades, so his strength must have weakened a lot. Coupled with the Hong Clan's countermeasures, there shouldn't be any problems."
Although she said this, everyone was still worried. This was a Heaven-ranked demon beast!
Ordinary Martial Emperors and Transcendents were no match for a Heaven-ranked demon beast.
Were there any Emperor-level powerhouses in Shang Jing Base City?
If there weren't, then the consequences would be severe.
Compared to the shock of the others, Lin Feng was more moved by the sad life of a spiritual medium.
Although he didn't know how painful it would be to seal a Heaven-ranked demon beast in one's body, one could imagine that from the moment they became a spiritual medium, they had completely lost their freedom.
They couldn't go to school, they couldn't go shopping, they had no friends, and they didn't even have family to accompany them.
This kind of life without freedom was like being imprisoned, and it was even more torturous than physical pain.
They might even be discriminated against by others.
A strange look flashed through Yunkai's eyes.
He didn't know why, but he felt somewhat depressed. Perhaps it was because they had similar experiences that made him feel like they were in the same boat.
Compared to a spiritual medium, he seemed to be much luckier.
Although he had been discriminated against and insulted since he was young, at least he had his freedom.
Now, he had become a nationally recognized super genius, and he had brothers and teammates who had gone through thick and thin with him. Many people liked him and even worshipped him. But what about this spiritual medium?
What did she have?
