Chapter 1200: Wolf ahead, tiger behind
It was already 11pm at night and Zhan Longâs 1400+ players passed the mountain range. We tried to avoid the Hybrid Demon army that intercepted us. Moreover, above our heads were many Sword Spirit Cavalries. Initially, Lin Wan Er and I rode our dragons up to kill a few of them but there were just too many. For the safety of the entire team, we could only protect them in low flight and we stopped trying to find trouble with the Sword Spirit Cavalry.
The Hybrid Demon Army was just much smarter now. Sword Spirit Cavalries were troops used to attack but now they were being used as scouts to spread news. Our position was a piece of news that the Hybrid Demon Army had and they sent troops to chase. Initially, they sent Barbarian Wolf Cavalryman, Lamp Zombie and Demon Hall Cavalry and now they were sending Flame Swallowing Beasts, Spirit Umbrella Bugs etc.

âTick tickâŠâ
Horse hoof sounds reverberated through the plains, this was our path to head back.
I sat on Meiâerâs back and turned around. There were dense sounds 2 kilometers from us and I could also see balls of flames rolling in the mountains. Those were flame windmills formed by the Flame Swallowing Beasts. Those Hybrid Demons were so problematic and we couldnât just turn around to attack them. Once they stuck to us, we might just die here.
Fang Ge Que, Q-Sword, Yan Zhao Warrior, Bai Li Ruo feng etc had all died on Shura Mountain. Even those with flying mounts werenât able to get out. Qin Ge and Yin Huo had succeeded in their mission. If I was right, they might be on the way to kill me. After all, they did want to kill Tian Ling Cityâs The Executor.
Li Mu lowered the red dragonâs altitude to around 3 meters and he was very tired, âDamn, what is going onâŠâ
Old K looked at him and smiled, âWe just failed our mission, what else. The players had too much confidence and then the Hybrid Demon Bosses conned us. That was what happened.â
Li Mu shook his head, âXiao Yao, where to now?â
I looked at the map and said, âIt is impossible for us to head back on the original path as the bridge is gone. We have to choose a new path.â
Xue Rou asked, âWhich path?â
I laughed, âWe have no choice, there is only one way back which is Territory of the Wild Dragon Tribe. That should be in Demon Mountainâs hands so we could only wrap around that place. Demon Mountain also attacked the Hybrid Demon Territory but I heard that they retreated long ago. He is smarter than us.â
âWe went too far in.â Lin Wan Er said.
âRight, why didnât we see Jian Feng Han and Vanguard this time?â I asked.
Xue Rou giggled, âJian Feng Han is different and chose another target. He brought the 100 thousand Vanguard players to Storm Abyss to find The Judge and The Devourer. But it was quite sad, he was wiped out 2 hours ago. I heard that the Devourer had a skill to swallow players and eat players he swallowed would increase his defence. In the end, his defence was shockingly high that even Jian Feng Han couldnât break through. 100 thousand people went and only 500 of them managed to flee. However, I donât think they would be able to survive for long.â
I sucked in a deep breath and sighed, âAzure really is showing off now.
He increased the strength of all of the Hybrid Demon Lords so it is normal that we lost.â
âEn.â
Lin Wan Er said, âWe have 1000+ left so who knows if Demon Mountain will let us go. In the past, our strength meant that Demon Mountain had nothing to say but this timeâŠâ
Dong Cheng Yue sat beside Wan Er and smiled, âSimple, as long as Brother Xiao Yao nods, Death Godâs Elegyâs 70 thousand Zhan Long players can head from Dragon City to Territory of the Wild Dragon Tribe. With 70 thousand, I donât believe that Demon Mountain wonât allow us to pass!â
Old K smiled, âRight, that idea is better!â
Li Mu looked at me, âXiao Yao, will that work?â
I thought about it but shook my head, âForget it, look behind us. There are so many Hybrid Demons chasing us. Maybe there might be Hybrid Demon Lords chasing us. We canât drag our 70 thousand brothers down right?â
Wang Jian nodded, âI support Brother Xiao Yaoâs choice. We really canât drag everyone down. We have failed and that canât be changed. Our morale is not good too. If we let the 70 thousand brothers face the Hybrid Demons like that, we might end up much worse. At the very least we need the NPC army to help us before we can challenge the Hybrid Demons.â
I smiled, âWang Jian is right. Letâs continue forwards. Speed up, we canât be so slow.â
âEn!â

I looked at my bag and the City Return Scroll was still dim. The entire Hybrid Demon Territory was locked up and our City Return Scrollâs power was taken away by the Hybrid Demon Lords.
We continued rushing into the early morning and we were finally on the outskirts of the Territory of the Wild Dragon Tribe. But it was different from before. Nine Heavens City was built really quickly and had set up a long city wall that stretched for hundreds of miles. Where Dragon God Hall was at had a huge city which connected with the walls to form a real fortress.
The walls were also covered in white iron and there were many Dragon Crystal Cannon barrels sticking out from the holes. The defence of the city shouldnât be a problem. Although it couldnât compare to primary cities but they were on the level of Jiu Li City and Green Rock City. Flags hung on the walls and there were many Nine Heavens City troops there.
I rode Meiâer over. Before I got close, someone shouted, âWho is it, who dares to provoke my stronghold?â
That was a major from Nine Heavens Cityâs Summer Fire Army. He said loudly, âDonât fly closer if not donât blame me! Archers aim!â
Thousands of archers suddenly appeared and aimed their bows at me. This didnât feel good.
I pulled Meiâer and returned my sword to my sheath, âI came from the Hybrid Demon Territory and we have failed in our trip. We want to pass through your pass please let us go.â
That Major frowned, âScoff, you have obviously attracted the Hybrid Demon army and want to hurt our stronghold!â
He was right.
But the 1400+ Zhan Long players were already waiting. If they didnât open the gate we might really get killed by the Hybrid Demon Army. I was a little impatient and said, âWhere is Demon Mountain, tell him to come out!â
That Major raged, âWho are you to call our Generalâs name like that?â
On the side, an advisor tapped his arm and said, âGeneral, he is Li Xiao Yao, Tian Ling Empireâs The Executor. He is in charge of the millions of Tian Ling Empire!â
âAh?â
The Major was stunned and didnât know what to do.
Fortunately, the players in the city got the news and very quickly Demon Mountain brought a bunch of people up on the walls. We hadnât met in a few days and his level increased by quite a lot. He seemed much more energetic and smiled at me, âSo it is Guild Leader Xiao Yao, long time no see. I didnât expect to meet you here.â
I smiled, âLetâs be honest. Our China Region failed to take down Shura World and was nearly wiped out. We are pretty much the survivors. Behind us are Hybrid Demon troops chasing us and there might be Lord Tier Bosses. We want to use your pass to get back to Tian Ling City.â
âWhy not use the City Return Scroll?â He asked in shock.
I smiled, âLocked map, you obviously know. Look at your own City Return Scroll.â
Demon Mountain glanced and laughed, âAs expected.â
A team leader beside Demon Mountain pointed towards the west, âGuild Leader look, the Hybrid Demon Army is here. There are more of them than we faced in the past! We canât open the gate or they will charge in. We spent so much effort to build this city so we canât let it get buried because of the Chinese. On the contrary, they led all of them here so obviously they want to hurt us!â
I pulled out Butterfly and said, âThe person who says that is the one that wants to hurt you. Demon Mountain this person is your team leader, if you donât do anything, I can help you!â
Demon Mountain was shocked, âXiao Yao calm down, we can discuss!â
Behind us, the Hybrid Demon ARmy got closer and closer and they would be here within 5 minutes. I frowned, âWe have no more time to discuss, please open up or we will force our way in!â
Demon Mountain gritted his teeth, âWhat do you mean, you want to attack? You really donât respect our Nine Heavens City right? !â
âŠ
âKeng!â
I pulled out Gan Jiang and said, âIf Nine Heavens City doesnât let us through then letâs kill our way through! We let them past at the islands and now they treat us like this. We have nothing to say, prepare to fight!â
The Zhan Long core players pulled out their weapons. Lin Wan Er, Li Mu, Wang Jian rode their dragons and the situation was really intense.
At that moment, a female voice spread from behind, âWhy, someone is attacking our fortress? I want to see who is so bold.â
Fire God Gaia, now this was a little problematic!
