Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 170: Chapter 165: An Unprecedented Crisis (Part 2)

Ye Qing knew that he had to ask in front of everyone.

If he called Chen Zheng outside to ask and didn’t let those present know the situation, they would surely speculate wildly.

The Nine Cities Plan is about to be finalized, and at this time, unity is crucial.

Wild speculation is the most damaging thing to morale.

”Chen Zheng, what happened?”

”Considering how panicked you are, is the sky falling?” Ye Qing asked gravely.

Emperor Dragon City is very strong, overwhelmingly strong, far surpassing any other city.

Ye Qing was confident that Emperor Dragon City could overcome any crisis.

”Deceitful Demon!”

”A new Deceitful Demon has appeared to the east, just formed.” Chen Zheng reported truthfully.

Chen Zheng’s daily work involves periodically observing the surroundings of Emperor Dragon City with his clairvoyant eyes and sharp ears.

If any new evil spirits appear, they must be quickly registered and reported.

In the Deceitful Demon realm, because of the presence of the Power of Rules, his clairvoyant eyes and sharp ears cannot observe the situation within.

Therefore, in Chen Zheng’s observation, a Deceitful Demon realm appears as a blank area.

Today, during his observation, he noticed a new blank area to the east of Emperor Dragon City.

Undoubtedly, this means a new Deceitful Demon realm has formed!

Upon hearing that only a new Deceitful Demon had appeared, Ye Qing frowned.

The appearance of a Deceitful Demon means that another Tier Five Evil Spirit is near Emperor Dragon City.

However, it isn’t considered a big deal since Deceitful Demons are not new phenomena these days.

Outdoors, Deceitful Demons can be avoided simply by not entering them.

For Deceitful Demons near human shelters, methods can be devised to break their rules and kill the Tier Five Evil Spirit controlling them.

Emperor Dragon City, as the largest survivor base in Dragon Country, also has the overall strongest strength.

They have the capability to break Deceitful Demons and kill Tier Five Evil Spirits.

They also have experience in this area.

”It’s just a Deceitful Demon, why make such a fuss?”

”Is it within a hundred miles of Emperor Dragon City? If not, mark it on the map so our people can avoid it!” Ye Qing said coldly.

According to Emperor Dragon City’s rules, if a Deceitful Demon is within a hundred miles, then someone must be sent to break it and kill the Tier Five Evil Spirit controlling it.

If it’s beyond a hundred miles, then it is left alone.

After all, breaking Deceitful Demons and killing Tier Five Evil Spirits comes at a cost.

Based on Emperor Dragon City’s experience, breaking a Deceitful Demon always results in heavy casualties.

Humans cannot afford the toll of fighting evil spirits.

All humans can do now is guard their own lands and protect the survivors within shelters.

The evil spirits appearing in the wild, they can’t manage, nor do they have the ability to do so.

Chen Zheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, ”It’s not within a hundred miles, it’s about two hundred miles from Emperor Dragon City!”

Hearing this, Chen Zheng looked even more displeased, thinking, if it’s not within a hundred miles, why are you yelling?

”Get lost!” Ye Qing glared at him and scolded, ”A full two hundred miles, what’s there to be anxious about?”

”Get back and do your job!”

Chen Zheng was reprimanded by Ye Qing, scratched his head, turned around, and left, muttering to himself as he walked back, ”It’s indeed two hundred miles from Emperor Dragon City, but this Deceitful Demon realm is rather large!”

Before Chen Zheng had gone far, his words naturally reached Ye Qing’s ears.

Hearing the words ”rather large,” Ye Qing seemed to realize something and shouted, ”Come back!”

Chen Zheng had just reached the door when Ye Qing’s shout startled him.

”Commander Ye, why are you calling me back again?” Chen Zheng said grudgingly.

Chen Zheng thought to himself, you higher-ups are really unreasonable; you’re the one who told me to leave, and now you’re calling me back.

”How large?” Ye Qing asked the critical question.

Chen Zheng quickly replied, ”It’s large, the entire Tang City has been swallowed up, it’s the largest Deceitful Demon realm I’ve ever seen.”

As soon as Chen Zheng finished speaking, a middle-aged man jumped up.

Yes, he was the representative of Tang City.

”You...”

”What did you say?” The Tang City representative looked incredulous.

”The entire Tang City is shrouded by that Deceitful Demon realm and has completely disappeared from my perception,” Chen Zheng replied truthfully.

Upon hearing this confirmation, not only did the Tang City representative jump up, but even Ye Qing stood up abruptly. A Deceitful Demon shrouding an entire city was truly shocking.

It’s known that even the Mother-Child Deceitful King’s Deceitful Demon realm only shrouded a village.

The Golden Armor Zombie’s Deceitful Demon realm only shrouded a movie city.

So far, the largest known Deceitful Demon realm only shrouded a county.

This new Deceitful Demon realm managed to engulf the entire Tang City.

It’s crucial to note that before the eerie invasion, Tang City was a legitimate prefecture-level city!

A Deceitful Demon realm engulfing a whole city was unheard of and unseen.

Though the size of a Deceitful Demon realm doesn’t necessarily indicate the power of the evil spirit within.

For example, the Golden Armor Zombie’s Deceitful Demon realm is bigger than the Mother-Child Deceitful King’s, purely in terms of area.

However, the Mother-Child Deceitful King’s realm is more potent.

In comparison, the Mother-Child Deceitful King is stronger than the Golden Armor Zombie.

But that’s when the difference in area is not that significant.

This new Deceitful Demon realm is as large as an entire city.

Controlling a Deceitful Demon realm the size of a city, the power of this evil spirit is undoubtedly formidable.

It can even be asserted that it is currently the most potent known evil spirit in Dragon Country and even the entire world.

At this moment, Ye Qing and the others only knew that a vast new Deceitful Demon realm had appeared, unaware that Lin Yuan and his team were already trapped within.

Ye Qing calmed himself down and addressed the others, ”His abilities include clairvoyance and sharp ears, so his perceptions cannot be wrong.”

”This time, Emperor Dragon City appears to be in big trouble.”

According to Emperor Dragon City’s rules, Deceitful Demon realms outside a hundred miles are to be ignored.

But that’s under normal circumstances with regular Deceitful Demon realms.

This situation is undoubtedly abnormal.

This vast Deceitful Demon realm is certainly not a regular one.

Who knows if it might suddenly expand and, heaven forbid, envelop Emperor Dragon City in it; what then?

”Ladies and gentlemen, today’s meeting will adjourn for now!”

”I need to handle this issue first, the meeting may be postponed for a few days, and I’ll have someone notify you for the next meeting.” Leaving these words, Ye Qing turned and left the meeting room.

Clearly, dealing with the suddenly appearing Deceitful Demon realm was more urgent.

The Nine Cities Plan is for humanity’s future, while this Deceitful Demon realm threatens Emperor Dragon City’s present.

Without the present, where is the future?

Ye Qing moved quickly, taking large, urgent strides.

Evidently, he was very anxious inside.

”Research facility, keep out unauthorized personnel.”

”Research facility, keep out unauthorized personnel.”

Ye Qing quickly reached a special building, surrounded by Life Pattern Masters on full alert.

Warning signs were posted everywhere; the security here was even tighter than in Ye Qing’s department.

”Weren’t you in a meeting?”

”Why are you here at the research institute?” The Life Pattern Master guarding the door asked in a deep voice.

Ye Qing looked anxious and said, ”No time to explain, something big happened, I must see the director.”

”Quick, take me there!”
