Chapter 35 New Features
The object that fell was a small satellite, which was not positioned extraterrestrial but at an altitude of three thousand meters, where it served as the center to provide network signals for the entire city.
The moment the satellite was shot down, citywide signals were disrupted, and countless mobile phones and TV screens that were streaming live broadcasts froze.
"Damn! Why is there no signal?"
"Network admin! Your mother! I've been cultivating all day, finally got a chance to go online, and now it freezes! I was almost done with Level 99 in the game of no return! The BOSS was about to be defeated!"
"What's going on? Why did it suddenly freeze?"
"Could it be the Sacred Lotus of Qiling making trouble?"
"Weird, this is the first network outage since the rebuild."
The citizens were all discussing amongst themselves, alarmed as the satellite crashed into the middle of the city, smashing into the streets and sending shivers down the spines of the passersby.
First, the appearance of the Sacred Lotus of Qiling, and now a network outage.
A shadow of gloom began to envelop the hearts of all the city's inhabitants.
Everyone in the city lost their internet connection, except for one person—Su Yie.
He was peeking at his mind's screen while waiting for Nan Xiaopao to wake up, listening to the Members of Emperor Su's Sect boasting and shooting the breeze.
Ever since the Demon Wolf Star joined the sect, he had hit it off with the Black Tiger Emperor, the demon and the monster chatting from morning till night, giving even Su Yie goosebumps.
Don't you ever sleep?
Xia Tianyi and Demon Lord Qing Yan were busy people, every time they showed up they would reveal some major news, causing a stir among all the sect members.
Elder Lord Qi Yang has been chatting less and less lately, probably still on the run.
Wux Qingyao became more active than before, not always hating on monsters and demons every time she spoke, and occasionally she would even be made to laugh by the Black Tiger Emperor and Demon Wolf Star.
"Why isn't it working yet, could something have gone wrong?"
Su Yie grew anxious, unable to resist asking in Emperor Su's Sect.
Emperor Su: How long does the awakening of the Sacred Body of Qiling usually take?
Wux Qingyao: Are you also paying attention to this?
Emperor Su: Yes.
Demon Lord Qing Yan: The Sacred Body of Qiling is an ancient evil body, and it's the first time it has appeared in three thousand years, so I guess it will take about ten days to half a month!
Demon Wolf Star: That long, huh? I'll have time to get there. Emperor Su, is there a way we could meet?
Emperor Su: I am not in this realm, but I can spy on everything in this world.
Bored, Su Yie started to brag again. He had read many web novels before, seen all sorts of wild ideas, so naturally, his bluff was strong.
His stories were so fantastic that even the Demon Wolf Star was scared enough not to dare to think about meeting Emperor Su in person anymore.
"Be careful, something is watching you."
Just then, the voice of Feng Long sounded.
Feng Long was unable to peep at the chat screen of Emperor Su's Sect. As soon as Su Yie's thoughts touched upon the Great Dao Communication Device, it would automatically shield him, making Feng Long think he was silent.
Upon hearing this, Su Yie immediately stood up. He was standing amidst ruins, within a thousand meters were only walls in ruins; the giant vines looked like small mountain ranges. Although there was no dust flying about, this area was still too dangerous for anyone to dare come close.
Wux Qingyao had also warned Tan Quanming, telling him how terrifying the Sacred Lotus of Qiling was.
As the mayor, now the lord of Xiwan City, Tan Quanming understood the situation and had thus sealed off the area.
The sky was a clear blue, with white clouds drifting by, showing no signs of anything unusual. If an enemy were hiding nearby, they would be hard to find.
"Where is it?"
Su Yie asked in his mind, reasoning that since Feng Long had perceived it, he must already know of the opponent's existence.
"In the sky!"
The response from Feng Long made Su Yie frown. What enemy could there be in the sky?
Could it be invisible?
Su Yie squinted his eyes, like an eagle eyeing the sky, sweeping his gaze ceaselessly.
Just then, a cloud drifted apart, revealing a terrifying scene—a countless number of bats flapping their wings. At first glance, they were so densely packed that they could not be counted, each as large as eagles.
Su Yie, with his superhuman hearing, faintly heard the piercing screeching sounds growing louder and louder.
A massive surge of Demon Qi began to descend, drawing thunderclouds to gather swiftly.
Many people in the city took notice of the abnormalities in the sky.
At the top floor of a skyscraper in Xiwan City, Tan Quanming was berating a group of workers, "How could the satellite have fallen? Do you realize this could put the entire Xiwan City in danger?"
"We now have less than five hundred thousand people! If everyone in Xiwan City dies, you will be to blame!"
His shouting made the workers break out in a cold sweat, and they too had no idea why the satellite had suddenly fallen.
Because satellites couldn't enter outer space like those on Earth, they had backup satellites, rotating them regularly and maintaining their hover through electricity.
The workers hastily brought out the backup satellite, made adjustments, and prepared it for launch.
"Wait! What is that?"
A muscular man standing beside Tan Quanming pointed at the sky and cried out in alarm.
His name was Zhang Yicheng, a top local cultivator within Xiwan City who had begun to channel his Qi through the eight meridians and had also acquired a powerful magic treasure left by the Xuanyuan Human Emperor. Excluding Su Yie, the Luoshui Sect, and the Four Elders of Great Wei, he was confident he ranked among the top three in the city.
Tan Quanming and the workers all looked up, just in time to see the swarm of bats under the thunderclouds, looking like demons hovering over the city.
"There are monsters!"
"Quickly notify the city to be on alert!"
Tan Quanming hastily instructed his secretary, who immediately took out a phone to call the broadcasting station. Communication in Xiwan City was divided into two parts: one was the broadcasting stations for each district, connected by independent wires, and the network was provided by satellites, which could also pinpoint every corner of the city.
Before long, alarms sounded throughout the districts of the city, sending people into a panic.
Su Yie muttered, "Another Demon King attacking?"
Xiwan City really was in continual trouble!
If things continued this way, the population would sharply decline!
He couldn't rely on Feng Long for aerial combat indefinitely, as that would eventually ruin him.
"Xiwan City affects many parties since it is an extraterrestrial Mystical City, plus it has the Sacred Lotus of Qiling. To ensure safety, one must affiliate with a major force, either one of the large schools of the righteous and demonic paths, or Mighty Tang. The other six dynasties don't have the strength to protect it!" Feng Long analyzed in his mind.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Yie shared the same thoughts. He certainly did not wish to protect Xiwan City forever.
Most critically, he was now somewhat afraid of the Xuanyuan Human Emperor.
The Xuanyuan Human Emperor had sent them to oppose the Demon Clan, yet here he was, cultivating demons?
The thought alone was embarrassing!
He surmised the Xuanyuan Human Emperor must already despise him.
"What are they waiting for?"
Su Yie asked with narrowed eyes, sensing that these bats were awaiting something.
At that moment, an image suddenly appeared in his mind—the screen of the Great Dao Communication Device:
Please choose to unlock any one of the following new functions!
Divine Shadow Legion!
Sect teleportation!
Su Yie's expression changed, a new function?
They both sounded awesome!
It was a pity he could only choose one, but he was still excited!
The former was a legion, while the latter probably involved teleporting members of Su Imperial Clan. Right now, aside from Elder Lord Qi Yang and Wu Qingyao, no matter who he teleported, he couldn't control it, and it would give him away.
But would the Divine Shadow Legion be risky?
