But now, that force seemed to have vanished without a trace…

The institute director looked grim. The spiritual fox’s wild arrogance put him in a terrible mood. Under the gaze of the crowd, he fully recounted the events up to the present moment.

“For years, the entire mountain where the capital institute is situated has been guarded by very strong defensive wards. Because of the defense provided by these wards, it has been able to withstand the attack of the Demon Clan to the highest degree. Only special demons have been able to force their way through the wards. All these years, the Demon Clan has been plotting to destroy the wards. After many years, they have substantially weakened the wards, but the wards still managed to hold up. However…”

The institute director looked at the spiritual fox gloomily. The spiritual fox looked both smug and wildly arrogant.

“However, the wards have now been completely destroyed, right? Haha… it’s all thanks to your stupid students, and even more so to the eight gold cultivators. If not for their special constitution, how could I have so easily destroyed your wards from within? Haha…” The spiritual fox laughed defiantly. In an instant, its words froze everyone’s hearts.

The Demon Clan seldom attacked the capital institute because of the strong defensive wards. But now that the Demon Clan had put forth all its strength and destroyed the wards…

The Demon Clan would certainly attack in force!

Just as everyone was digesting this startling piece of news, a guard staggered into the parade ground. He was in a sorry state and covered with blood.

“Master institute director! The demons are attacking! There are so many… so many…”

The guard blurted out this startling news with an ashen face.

Now that they had destroyed the defensive wards, there was nothing to stop the Demon Clan’s army from marching straight in. The capital institute was… finished.

The institute director’s hands trembled violently.

The spiritual fox was laughing. It had achieved its goal.

“How pitiful. Everyone present is about to become a sacrificial offering to my clan. Open your eyes and inspect. Every inch of your bodies will be chewed up…”

In that instant, a cold light flashed and the evil-crushing sword in Ji Fengyan’s hand decapitated the fox.

The bloodied fox’s head rolled to one side. The entire parade ground was dead silent.

The demons were attacking?

Was it true?

“Let’s go to the school door and have a look.” The institute director gritted his teeth and willed himself to summon up his courage.

The youths, who had been frightened out of their wits, suddenly came to their senses. They ran towards the capital institute’s high walls as fast as their legs could carry them. They could only pray that this was a plot by the Demon Clan to frighten them.

But…

When they had mounted the high wall, they saw a dark mass of moving figures on the mountain. Everyone’s heart sank immediately.

The Demon Clan…

was really here.

Innumerable demons were advancing from the foot of the mountain. They stepped on the green mountain grass and leveled the trees, heading straight for the capital institute. Flying demons formed strange shapes in the air and let out ear-piercing cries. On the mountain trail, huge demons and large beasts advanced with ponderous, earth-shaking steps.

In that instant, the scene frightened everyone out of their wits. The younger ones gaped the sight of the entire mountain covered with the demon army.

A thousand?

Ten thousand?

Or a hundred thousand…

They were uncountable.

In that moment, the fear of death enveloped their minds.

They had been forced into a desperate situation.

In an instant, frightened sobs and frantic cries wove together to form a desperate keening.
