Chapitre 96

There was no movement in that forbidden area. Occasionally, someone would try to investigate, but even if someone dared to break in, they would never return.

This has never happened before, so what's going on?

She really wanted to see what was going on, but since the Demon God had given such an order, Liu Lanyan naturally wouldn't disobey him.

Just as she was feeling anxious, she suddenly sensed an unusual aura around her. It was very faint, but enough for Liu Lanyan to feel.

"Who?" Liu Lanyan turned her head and looked at the corner of the roof.

A dark figure appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of her: "An San, I have come to protect you on the orders of the Lord."

Hidden Three?

Liu Lanyan's mind raced, and she realized that it must be one of the Thirteen Fiends of the Dark Night.

"Mm." Liu Lanyan nodded, a warm feeling rising in her heart.

Even in such a rush, he didn't forget to send people to protect her.

The warmth that had just begun to rise was quickly driven away by the chill.

Why were people specifically sent to protect her? Is it because this matter is too serious?

Liu Lanyan nervously pursed her lips, gazing into the direction of the forbidden area. She didn't even notice that An San, who had just finished speaking to her, had silently disappeared into thin air and concealed his figure.

Besides being on guard, An San also glanced at Liu Lanyan a few more times out of curiosity.

His ability to hide his true colors was absolutely superb, so how could Liu Lanyan have discovered him?

It seems that Liu Lanyan's strength is indeed as strong as An Yi said.

In fact, not only An San, but even Liu Lanyan herself didn't know that when she was overly nervous, the power within her body had been involuntarily and rapidly mobilized.

That's why she was able to sense An San's presence so quickly. Otherwise, why didn't she notice An Yi's presence in the Wuchen Palace?

At this moment, Liu Lanyan was only worried, but she was completely oblivious to Liu Xinrong and Liu Xinya, who were in the forbidden area of the distant demon realm.

They ran as fast as they could, racing against the invisible giant waves behind them.

However, for them, speed was ultimately no match for that giant wave.

The deafening roar of the water made their hearts pound in their throats, their minds went blank, and they didn't even dare to turn around. They just held onto one thought and desperately rushed out.

Export, export, as long as they reach the export point, they can survive and everything will be fine.

Their powerful will to survive unleashed their physical potential, making them run many times faster than usual.

They were moving very fast, but the giant waves chasing them from behind were just as fast.

Liu Xinrong could clearly hear the sound of the giant waves getting louder and louder. It was the sound of the waves getting closer and closer, as if the invisible giant waves might engulf them in the next second.

I dared not stop, dared not look back, and ran with all my might.

The pebbles on the ground hurt his feet, and the sharp rocks protruding from the edge of the valley cut his body, but he didn't care about anything else. As if he felt no pain, he rushed out with all his might.

Finally, the exit was just ahead; it was the hope of survival.

"Quick!" Liu Xinya's voice trembled with excitement. As long as they escaped the valley, they would be safe.

A rush of water echoed not far behind them, and the two men's faces turned deathly pale.

The giant wave was not far from them, at most a few meters away, and this tiny distance was constantly shrinking.

"Xinrong, hurry!" Liu Xinya rushed forward and stepped into the valley entrance. With a strong pull, she dragged Liu Xinrong, who was a few steps behind, out of the valley.

Liu Xinrong's clothes fluttered as she was suddenly swallowed up by the giant wave that arrived from behind, instantly dissolving into nothingness.

The two of them slumped weakly at the entrance of the valley, staring intently as the invisible giant wave suddenly crashed into the entrance, making a series of violent impact sounds, as if an invisible barrier was blocking it.

With a deafening roar, the giant waves receded.

Gasping for breath, Liu Xinya and Liu Xinrong's hearts pounded wildly, like drums beating, making them feel panicked.

Seeing the giant wave recede, Liu Xinrong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, thank goodness.

They were just a hair's breadth away from death. If they had been even a fraction slower, they would have perished in the forbidden area.

Just as Liu Xinrong breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Xinya suddenly screamed, her voice trembling: "Run!"

Why are you running?

Didn't they just come out?

Just as Liu Xinrong was still in a daze, the cracking sound in her ear caught her attention.

Turning her head to look in the direction of the sound, Liu Xinrong was so frightened she almost jumped out of her skin.

The giant wave that had just surged back surged up again, crashing forcefully against the transparent barrier.

However, unlike before, strange cracks appeared in the void, as if the barrier was cracking and about to collapse.

If it really can't hold on, wouldn't that mean the giant wave in the forbidden area will crash down?

Liu Xinrong didn't even have time to scream; she jumped up and ran wildly.

Before they had run very far, they heard a loud rumbling sound of something collapsing, which seemed to be mixed with cracking sounds.

Without even turning her head, Liu Xinrong was so frightened that her blood almost froze.

The barrier to the forbidden area has been breached; they are in danger!

A tremendous impact swept in from behind, and Liu Xinrong closed her eyes in despair. It was over; they couldn't get out.

As they waited in despair for death, they suddenly heard that the giant wave seemed to be suppressed by something.

In a panic, he turned around in surprise and saw that a faint white light was indeed enveloping the ethereal giant wave, forming a white bulwark of light that prevented the giant wave from breaking through.

Were we saved?

Liu Xinrong's eyes widened in surprise. This feeling of escaping death was just too... too exciting.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?" A cold, stern voice rang in her ears, causing Liu Xinrong to look up in astonishment. She saw a demon god floating in mid-air, resembling a deity.

"Let's go quickly." Liu Xinya helped Liu Xinrong, who was still in a daze, up and quickly left the desolate mountain, rushing towards the royal city.

The demon god casually glanced at the Liu Xinya sisters. Was it a coincidence that these two appeared in the forbidden area?

He had too many unresolved questions in his mind, but time did not allow him to think any further. He manipulated his power to block the monstrous void waves in the forbidden area, preventing them from spreading and engulfing.

"Lord." At this moment, the Demon Lord also arrived, flying to the side of the Demon God before stopping. He looked down at the surging waves below and his expression changed drastically.

"How could a forbidden area suddenly appear?" the Demon Lord exclaimed in astonishment.

"Someone has entered the forbidden area, bringing something that has disrupted its balance," the demon god said calmly, his attention focused on the enormous, ethereal waves below.

"Who? Who went in?" The Demon Lord was furious. How could someone have caused such trouble? What did they want to do?

Do you want to destroy the demon realm?

"Didn't you see them on the way here?" The Demon God's casual words made the Demon Lord pause, recalling that he seemed to have seen Liu Xinya and Liu Xinrong fleeing back to the royal city in a disheveled state.

Could it be them?

"Liu Xinya and her sister?" The Demon Lord's face darkened. Why were those two always causing trouble?

First it was Qin Ming's matter, and now they've brought up the leak of the forbidden area's power. What are they trying to do?

Are the two sisters not satisfied until they destroy the demon realm?

The Demon Lord looked at the Demon God who was controlling the monstrous void waves to prevent them from leaking out, and said in a deep voice, "Lord, this matter will definitely be investigated thoroughly."

The demon god didn't even utter a sound, but instead looked at the situation of the enormous, empty waves below.

The surging waves made the demon god frown. How could the power of the forbidden area be so strong?

It seemed different from what he had imagined, and then he turned his head and looked at the Demon Lord with a puzzled look.

The Demon Lord glanced at the forbidden area below and the enormous void waves outside the forbidden area that were blocked by the power of the Demon God, and then said with difficulty, "It is probably because the power that has been accumulated inside for many years has been suppressed, so this time when it broke through, it turned out like this."

The Demon Lord's words were so vague and ambiguous that they hardly constituted an explanation, causing the Demon God to frown slightly.

"Lord, can we force the giant wave back?" The Demon Lord didn't pay much attention to the previous question, but was thinking about how to handle the current situation.

"The power will return at dusk, and only then can it be forced back." The demon god understood the general situation of the forbidden area's power after only a short while.

"Can't we do it now?" the Demon Lord asked anxiously, then added, "If something is accidentally leaked, the ordinary people of the royal city will not be able to bear it."

The demon god didn't speak, but only glanced at the demon lord. This glance made the demon lord sullenly touch his nose and say somewhat awkwardly, "Alright, let's wait until dusk. The power inside is too strong. If it rebounds, I'm afraid it will be uncontrollable."

The Demon Lord was talking to himself, but the Demon God had no time to pay attention to him, focusing all his attention on the power of the forbidden area below.

The Demon Lord, watching from the sidelines, didn't want to disturb them, so he slowly landed back on the ground. Just then, the army from the royal city arrived and asked the Demon Lord for instructions on the next course of action.

"Disperse your forces and surround the entrance to the forbidden area from a distance. If any power leaks out, retreat quickly. At the same time, those behind should relay the message back to the royal city." The Demon Lord quickly arranged the matter. The main task was to ensure that even if the power of the forbidden area leaked out, it would not harm the people in the royal city.

The demon god floated in mid-air, paying little attention to the giant waves below that were constantly roaring under his control.

He was currently pondering why the power within the forbidden area was so strong.

While the Demon God and the Demon Lord were making arrangements outside the forbidden area, the people in the royal city were evacuating in an orderly manner under the command of the demon army.

Upon receiving the news, Yu Jinshuo revealed a sinister smile. Sure enough, the timing was spot on.

Looking up at the sun slowly setting in the west, the smile on his face deepened.

After leaving the palace, instead of following the crowd, they went against the flow and headed towards the city gate in the direction of the forbidden area.

"Your Highness, it's dangerous over there. You'd better not go." The leader of the demon army saw Yu Jinshuo on the road and immediately advised him.

If someone of Yu Jinshuo's status were to get hurt, it would be a responsibility they couldn't afford to bear.

"It's alright." Yu Jinshuo waved his hand. "I'll go take a look at the front. I'm also a member of the demon realm. How can I desert my post in the face of battle?"

After saying this, ignoring the admiring gaze of the demon general, he slowly walked towards the city gate.

The closer they got to the city gate, the fewer people they saw. All the civilians near the city gate had been evacuated, leaving only the demon army guarding the city gate.

"Your Highness." Yu Jinshuo stepped onto the city wall, and the general guarding the city hurriedly came over to pay his respects upon seeing him.

"How is the situation?" Yu Jinshuo casually waved his hand, indicating to the city's garrison commander not to be so polite, and asked with concern about the forbidden area.

"Our lord has given orders that if the power of the forbidden area is leaked, we must resist with all our might," the city's general said solemnly.

He didn't know what he was about to face, but he had heard of the power of the forbidden area in the demon realm.

Resistance is tantamount to suicide.

However, once the lord has given the order, even if he knows he is going to his death, he must obey and resist with all his might.
