The number of Void King Realm in the remaining group was even more terrifying, numbering in the hundred thousand.
How many people were there in Half Dragon City? Although Yang Kai didn’t know, it was definitely less than a million, probably only a few hundreds of thousands, but among these hundreds of thousands of people, there were a hundred thousand Void King Realm. In other words, every person in Half Dragon City was a Void King Realm.
Such a terrifying ratio was impossible to appear in any city in the Star Boundary. Only Dragon Island's Half Dragon City would have such an abnormal phenomenon.
Following Fu Ling’s shout, the population of Half Dragon City was dispatched by fifty to sixty percent and the city became much clearer.
Such a scale naturally made Yang Kai extremely satisfied. The only drawback was that the number of Third-Order Emperor Realm is less. Of the two hundred or so, only a few were Third-Order and most were First-Order and Second-Order.
In the end, this phenomenon was all because of the Dragon Blood Flower. The Dragon Island’s previous Dragon Blood Flower cultivation had mainly relied on the blood of the half-dragons in Half Dragon City, especially the powerful half-dragons. If too much of their Blood Essence was lost, their strength would naturally be affected. If it weren’t for this, the number of Third-Order Emperor Realm masters would have been far greater.
Even so, Yang Kai had nothing to complain about. Such a massive force was enough to change the course of a battle.
Fu Ling returned to her human form and stood beside Yang Kai, saying, “Brother-in-law, everyone is here.”
Yang Kai nodded, “You go tell them.”
“Okay,” Fu Ling responded, her beautiful eyes sweeping around as she shouted, “Everyone, listen carefully. The one standing next to me is the Star Boundary’s North Region High Heaven Palace’s Palace Master, Yang Kai, who is also my brother-in-law. The Star Boundary has suffered an invasion from the Demon Race and needs your help. This time, my brother-in-law and I will take you away from Dragon Island and head to the Star Boundary to resist the Demon Race. I’ll be frank with you, after leaving Dragon Island, you must listen to my instructions. I only have one request for all of you: Be obedient. If I find anyone who doesn’t obey my orders, don’t blame me for not showing mercy! Do you understand?”
In front of Yang Kai, this woman’s attitude was quite unbecoming, but in front of these people from Half Dragon City, she was quite dignified. After she finished speaking, a thunderous voice came from below, “Understood!”
Fu Ling nodded in satisfaction and turned to Yang Kai, “Brother-in-law, do you have anything to say?”
Yang Kai glanced at her, “I only have one question.”
“En,” Fu Ling nodded.
“Are you leaving Dragon Island too? You want to come with me?”
“That’s right,” Fu Ling nodded as if it was a matter of course, a sly light flashing across her eyes as she grinned like a fox that had just stolen a chicken.
Yang Kai chuckled, “Have you asked the Great Elder?” Because of Yang Kai, this woman had been punished to guard the entrance for a hundred years. It had only been a dozen years since then, so Yang Kai didn’t believe the Great Elder would allow her to leave Dragon Island.
“Of course I’ve asked,” Fu Ling didn’t panic at all as she winked at Yang Kai and said, “If you don’t believe me, you can send a message to ask.”
Yang Kai snorted, “Of course I have to ask.”
Saying so, he took out his communication compass and began communicating with Zhu Qing. After a while, he frowned and put away his compass, staring at Fu Ling in disbelief.
“What do you think?” Fu Ling wore a smug expression, as if she had nothing to fear.
Yang Kai nodded and didn’t say anything more. Zhu Qing told her that Fu Ling leaving Dragon Island with him was indeed the Great Elder’s idea. Of course, this was also the result of Fu Ling taking the initiative to volunteer, saying that she wanted to make amends for her mistake. However, she also had a legitimate reason, and that was that these people from Half Dragon City had always lived on Dragon Island and had never been to the outside world. With so many people and their strength, even if she handed them over to Yang Kai, he might not be able to successfully command them. If there was a Dragon Clan accompanying him, these people would definitely not dare act rashly.
As for Fu Ling’s main task, it was to intimidate these hundreds of thousands people from Half Dragon City and ensure that they would obey orders.
Yang Kai couldn’t say anything about the Great Elder’s approval, so he simply instructed Fu Ling, “Don’t cause any trouble outside, or I’ll send you back immediately.”
Fu Ling nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, “Brother-in-law, don’t worry, I won’t cause any trouble, I’ll definitely listen to you. Whatever you tell me to do, I’ll do it, I won’t resist at all!” The last sentence was filled with meaning, causing Yang Kai to grit his teeth.
Turning his head to look at the hundreds of thousands of people, Yang Kai said, “Perhaps some of you think I look familiar, or perhaps you’ve already recognized me. That’s right, I came to Dragon Island more than a decade ago, entered Half Dragon City, and snatched the Dragon Clan’s Fifth Elder’s hand from the wedding. Now, I’ve become a couple with the Dragon Clan’s Fifth Elder!”
Hearing these words, the more than a hundred thousand people were surprised, but many of them did recognize Yang Kai. After all, many of them had been captured to build the palace for Fu Chi’s wedding and had even met with him.
The matter of Yang Kai snatching the bride was also being watched by everyone. As for what happened afterwards, none of them knew. Now that they heard Yang Kai say that he and the Dragon Race’s Fifth Elder had fallen in love and become husband and wife, all of them were shocked.
“Right now, the situation in the Star Boundary is not optimistic. If you leave Dragon Island, you may not be able to adapt to it, but you will also have to deal with all kinds of dangers. This King only has one request for you.” He turned his head and looked around, slowly enunciating his word, “Live!”
More than a hundred thousand people’s expressions froze.
“If anyone has any questions, you can ask them now. If there are no questions, we’ll set out now!”
“May Sir Yang give the order!” Someone suddenly shouted from the crowd.
More than a hundred thousand people shouted in unison, “May Sir Yang give the order!”
On Dragon Island, although they did not fight or kill each other, they were naturally inferior to the Dragon Race, and those half dragons with decent strength were often on edge, wondering if they would be captured by the Dragon Race to cultivate their Dragon Blood Flowers. Now that a fellow had suddenly subdued a Dragoness and it was even the Dragon Race’s Fifth Elder, they naturally regarded him as a role model and admired him greatly.
With such a strong sense of recognition, even if it was the first time they saw Yang Kai, they wouldn’t feel any rejection, only admiration.
Yang Kai nodded in satisfaction and said, “Good, then come in.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and tapped the space in front of him, opening a gap in the Mysterious Boundary Bead and immediately revealing an oval shape Void Corridor.
After all, it wasn’t convenient for more than a hundred thousand people to move together, so they could only use the Mysterious Boundary Bead.
The Emperor Realms glanced at each other but didn’t hesitate, quickly stepping forward and disappearing into the Void Corridor.
With the Emperor Realm leading the way, the remaining Principle Source Stage and Void King Realm cultivators naturally entered the Mysterious Boundary Bead one after another.
After half a day, the hundreds of thousands people were all collected by Yang Kai, and after calling out to Fu Ling, they all flew towards the exit.
After leaving Dragon Island, they returned to Tiger Roar City through the Space Array on the island.
The city was bustling with activity. It had only been three days since Yang Kai left Tiger Roar City, and the five thousand reinforcements from High Heaven Palace had already arrived. Nanmen Dajun had also brought a group of disciples to guide the city’s Formation Master in setting up the Formation Restoration. On the city walls and pagodas, there were occasional patrolling cultivators.
A tense atmosphere spread throughout the city.
This was the first time Fu Ling had left Dragon Island and come to the outside world. Along the way, she looked around curiously, he almost losing sight of her several times. Yang Kai grabbed her by the collar and pulled her close to him, watching over her closely.
After asking Gao Xueting, Li Jiao, Ma Yin, and the others about the situation, they learned that the Demon Race had indeed returned.
Inside the main hall, the group of Emperor Realms were all gloomy. Although Tiger Roar City had just won a battle a few days ago and killed countless enemies, it had only been a short time since the Demon Race had launched an attack. Not to mention that the number of people the Demon Race had dispatched this time was even greater than the last time, even if there weren’t a million of them, the situation in Tiger Roar City wasn’t much different. Although they had received support from High Heaven Palace’s five thousand cultivators, they only had a little more than forty thousand people to fight. Most of them had only just recovered from the after-effects of the Bloodlust Technique and were unable to display their full strength.
The reason they had been able to win the last time was largely because of the Tiger Roar City’s Great City Barrier Formation, but now that Nanmen Dajun had arrived, the Great City Barrier Formation had been broken down into pieces, so it would take at least a month to rebuild it.
It could be said that the current Tiger Roar City did not have any Spirit Arrays to rely on, so it was basically defenseless.
With the Demon Race’s great army eyeing them covetously, Tiger Roar City was naturally filled with panic. Fortunately, Chi Gui and the other Army Supervisor was there to monitor the situation, otherwise they would have long since fled.
However, the situation was so bad that no matter who it was, they couldn’t see any hope of victory. Not to mention victory, whether they could survive the next Demon Race invasion was an unknown.
Before Yang Kai returned, Gao Xueting and the others had already discussed whether they should evacuate Tiger Roar City and meet up with the others in another city.
Li Jiao sighed and said, “Brother Yang, it’s not that we’re trying to destroy the morale of others, but the difference in numbers is simply too great. I’m afraid Tiger Roar City won’t be able to hold on for much longer. If we want to retreat, we have to do so as soon as possible. The Demon Race is already a thousand kilometers away and will probably arrive at the foot of the city in a few hours. At that time, it will be too late to escape.”
Gao Xueting said, “That’s right, with the Space Array you’ve set up, it’s easy to escape.”
Yang Kai shook his head and said, “There’s no need to withdraw. Last time, I didn’t hit them hard, but this time I will break their spine.”
Everyone stared at him, wondering where he got his confidence from.
Gao Xueting’s beautiful eyes lit up as she asked, “You found reinforcements?” This was the only explanation that could explain why Yang Kai was so confident.
Yang Kai smiled lightly, “Senior Sister Gao is wise.”
“Did you really find reinforcements?” Li Jiao looked at him in surprise, “Where? When are they coming? How many people are there?”
Yang Kai said, “Brother Li, don’t be impatient, you’ll know when the time comes. In any case, this time we’ll definitely give the Demon Race a big surprise.”
