"Yes, there is a way." Lü Cheng nodded.
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Lü Cheng's expression turned serious.
"Since the ancient king is sleeping in the Abyss of Evil, as long as I go in and give him a big tug-of-war, forcing him and his underlings to stay away from the ancient capital, wouldn't this calamity in the ancient capital be easily resolved?"
"..."
"What the hell is going on?! You still have the nerve to joke around at a time like this!"
Zhu Meng was furious. If it weren't for the head instructor Fei Jiao and the hunter Du Xiao holding him back, he probably would have charged up and fought Lu Cheng like a real man.
"Tell me your ideas quickly!" Zhu Meng was almost in tears.
"Please! Don't delay!"
That's the Abyss of Evil!
Even forbidden spellcasters would perish in the Abyss of Fiends!
Once they get close, this city-protecting barrier will be utterly vulnerable!
The city of a million people will vanish in an instant!
"Fine, fine, can't I even crack a joke to relax when things are this tense?" Lu Cheng pouted.
“I do have a way to solve the current problem, but it’s a dangerous way, quite dangerous for me.”
Han Ji's expression changed slightly, "Forbidden technique?"
Lu Cheng nodded silently.
He had to devour the soul of the Ancient King, but he had been tricked by the Holy Lord and had too much soul energy accumulated in his body. If he swallowed the soul of the Ancient King directly, this emperor-level energy would impact his soul. In order to safely absorb this energy, he would fall into a deep sleep.
The Holy Lord understood the Demon's nature: arrogant, conceited, and disdainful of others.
To be honest, it was fortunate that Daolong had been tricked by the Holy Lord before, so he didn't get along with that old guy. When he asked the question, Daolong directly asked the question. Otherwise, he would definitely have been in a slumber for at least a thousand years!
Even though he knew that the soul of the ancient king was just a sleeping pill for him at the moment, he couldn't give up.
After all, if monarch-level demons are already so difficult to kill, emperor-level demons will only be even more difficult!
Having missed this opportunity, he doesn't know when the soul of the next emperor will appear, and he doesn't want to wait.
Moreover, this thing is not only an emperor-level soul, but also a tiger tally that controls this army of billions of undead!
He absolutely has to eat it!
Daolong has already taught him how to safely devour the Ancient King without falling into a deep sleep.
The reason for the dormancy is that too much impurity soul energy has been absorbed. Filtering these impurities takes time, but if a more forceful method is used to speed up the filtering process, the absorption process can be accelerated.
The simplest and most direct method: burn!
However, combustion alone consumes too much energy and is difficult to control; it can burn up completely if you're not careful. Therefore, some auxiliary methods are needed.
And the best support is the power of faith of these millions of people!
Wen Tai was able to use the twisted faith of countless people around the world to elevate himself to the position of Dark King, and Dao Long was able to use the faith of millions of people to give him a new life!
Although Daolong has an even simpler method—using the vibrant souls of these million living people as fuel to aid in the evolution of his own soul—this plan is impossible to implement.
The reason why the Saints are silent is because they have no interest in this world and no desire to interfere. Moreover, once separated, the conflict between Yin and Yang could lead to an even greater disaster at any time. Therefore, the Saints are willing to be sealed away by him.
But if he had the idea of sacrificing millions of people, that guy would definitely rush out.
Saint Seiya doesn't care about the infighting among humans, nor about the natural competition between humans and demons, but he will not tolerate his own demonic side acting recklessly!
Whether others kill him or not, whether others are evil or not, the Saint Seiya doesn't care. But if his demonic side causes trouble, it will crack in an instant!
That brain-dead Saint Seiya only knows how to fight demons!
“State your conditions,” Han Ji said.
"I will give my all, no matter how much I can help you!"
If Lü Cheng was unwilling to help, there was absolutely no need to tell them about it.
Anyway, he's a space-type mage, so even if the inner city is breached, his chances of escaping are the highest.
But the fact that he came back and said those words shows that he was willing to help.
"Don't worry, it's not an unreasonable request," Lü Cheng said.
"Just execute all those people in this so-called decapitation plan who are trying to take the opportunity to kill me."
“This…” Zhu Meng’s expression changed slightly.
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Lu Cheng asked, looking displeased.
"Do you think I'm an idiot? I'm a high-level mage, and you've investigated my background thoroughly! Are you blind to know whether I'm Salang or not?"
"What kind of idiotic decapitation plan is this? Which bastard came up with that?"
"Which bastards asked you to include me?"
"You like sacrificing the minority, don't you?"
"Now, if we sacrifice these righteous guys to save the city of millions before us, they should be more than willing to offer their heads, right?"
"Or is it that they are unwilling?"
"..."

“But now the ancient capital is surrounded by the army of the undead, and all communication with the outside world has been cut off. Your request cannot reach the Supreme Magic Association,” Han Ji said in a deep voice.
"Moreover, the situation is critical right now, and your request involves many people, so they may not be able to make a decision..."
"Communications are simple." Lu Cheng waved his hand, and two shadowy soldiers emerged from the shadows carrying an old-fashioned telephone.
“This is a special communication magic tool that can transmit signals through a dark contract. I put one on Pang Lai before. He is in the Magic Court. You can contact him. I believe he has the authority to make this request to the Supreme Magic Association.”
"By the way, don't tell me you'll discuss it later. If you agree, you agree; if you don't agree, you don't agree. This communication device will record all your communication information, and these things will be the evidence."
"I'm not asking you to just kill those bastards. I have only one request: after I save the ancient capital, none of those grandsons who wanted to kill me shall live!"
After saying that, Lü Cheng pulled Ling Xi and turned to leave, without any intention of continuing the conversation.
He had just saved Lu Huan; if these people were to attack him again, they shouldn't blame him for destroying the ancient capital.
Anyway, it's not impossible to wait until Sha Yuan destroys the inner city and then devour the ancient king.
Everyone watched Lü Cheng leave in silence, and no one tried to stop him.
Without hesitation, Han Ji picked up the communication device on the ground, and then, with a resolute expression, he fell into confusion.
"How to use this thing?"
"..."
"To call someone, enter your voice message and wait three seconds."
Lu Cheng's voice drifted back.
"By the way, if they don't answer, we're doomed."
"Wait to die."
Everyone's eyes twitched, unsure whether they should complain.
Han Ji didn't have time to think much and followed Lü Cheng's instructions to contact Pang Lai.
Thankfully, it's working!
……
A magical palace.
Upon receiving the message from Han Ji, Pang Lai immediately organized an emergency meeting, contacting the National Highest Magic Association and the Supreme Tribunal for an online meeting.
"Ridiculous! Who does he think he is!"
"He's asking us to die? I now seriously suspect he's a member of the Black Vatican!"
"Perhaps destroying the ancient capital is just a pretext; this is Salang's real objective!"
"The destruction of the ancient capital is merely the beginning of a disaster, but the shadow it casts will eventually pass. However, if we are all threatened by the Black Vatican, or even lose our lives because of it, that would be a huge joke!"
“That’s right! Even Han Ji and the others were helpless, what can a high-level mage like him do?”
"..."
Unsurprisingly, the meeting was filled with opposition; regardless of whether they had been involved in the previous incident, most people were against it.
This is not a threat from a young kid, but a threat from the Black Vatican!
If they really agree to this, wouldn't the Black Vatican be able to kill a group of people every time they take over a city?
