I have a city in another world

Chapter 7076 Collapse Impact
The inner city walls are lined with various defensive fortifications, which were originally steel bulwarks to resist foreign enemies.

However, at this moment, many instruments were paralyzed and damaged due to the invasion of a strange slime mold, and completely lost their function.

The few surviving units are still struggling to operate, stubbornly resisting the enemy's attempts to get closer.

However, the inner city garrison, which should have been fighting a bloody battle here, was severely understaffed, with less than one-tenth of its troops remaining.

The torrential rain, infused with poisonous insects, also dealt a heavy blow to the inner city. Countless soldiers succumbed to the disease and were left extremely weak.

When the order to fight was given, only a handful, less than one-tenth, responded. The rest either fell ill and were bedridden, or took advantage of the chaos to escape and disappeared without a trace.

Furthermore, some people had clearly already sensed the wind or noticed the unusual movements of the higher-ups—they knew that the rulers of the mountain city settlement had already abandoned the city and fled.

When the very thing you're protecting has already abandoned the city, what's the point of continuing the fight?
Those despicable fellows betrayed all the residents at the most critical moment, mercilessly pushing them into the abyss of death.

If this news were to spread, it would inevitably cause an uproar and panic among the people, followed by a complete rout.

No secret can stay hidden forever. At a critical juncture when war is about to break out, the collective disappearance of high-ranking figures is a serious matter that cannot be concealed for long.

Before long, the residents of the mountain town will fully realize that they have been betrayed and abandoned.

The spies hidden in the city sent out the intelligence immediately, and it fell precisely into Feng Jiu Kui's hands.

Upon seeing the intelligence, Feng Jiu Kui's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he was overjoyed. He immediately ordered his men to broadcast the message aloud through a loudspeaker.

"Listen up, people inside the city! The top management of the mountain city settlement has already fled!"

"Put down your weapons and surrender immediately, and you may be treated leniently! If you dare to resist to the end, you will only face death!"

Drones equipped with loudspeakers hovered like bloodthirsty insects over the mountain town settlement, continuously broadcasting this terrifying news.

The residents of the city were already filled with anxiety and suspicion, feeling that something was amiss.

At that moment, the news broadcast was like a heavy hammer blow, instantly shattering their last shred of hope and confirming the harsh reality that the higher-ups had already fled.

Otherwise, why are these rumors allowed to spread so freely without anyone coming out to refute or stop them?
This incessant broadcasting became the final straw, triggering a chain reaction of collapses.

The scattered will to resist completely collapsed at this moment, replaced by a city-wide frenzy of escape.

If we don't escape now, once the army completely surrounds us, there will be no way to survive.

As for the sick and injured, no one cared for them; they could only leave it to fate and fend for themselves.

"Hahaha, that was absolutely brilliant!"

Feng Jiu Kui stared at the ants fleeing in panic in the city and couldn't help but let out a wild laugh. He knew that the outcome of this war was no longer in doubt.

Next, he only needs to consolidate his gains and ensure that this tremendous achievement does not fall into the hands of others.

Meanwhile, in another area, Bai San was methodically directing his men to quickly take control of various key military points.

Secretly, he sent urgent intelligence to the organization behind him, urging them to take immediate action.

If we continue to stand idly by, all the resources of the mountain city settlement will fall into the hands of the Blood Demon Sect.

Even though a lot of rare resources have been secretly moved away by the higher-ups, the wealth remaining in this gathering place, which has been operating for many years, is still enough to make people drool.

Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity must not be missed.

Bai San knew perfectly well that the greater the gains the organization behind him made, the richer the rewards he would receive.

He would seize any opportunity to make it happen, rather than simply playing the role of an ordinary undercover agent delivering messages.

At this moment, the mountain town settlement has fallen into a vacuum of no management, and chaos and panic are everywhere.

However, this chaos will not last long. Soon, various forces will swarm in like sharks smelling blood, and a bloody struggle will ensue.

As the city's residents lived in constant fear, suddenly, strange cries and roars of birds and beasts came from all directions. Then, to their horror, some people discovered that bizarre, multicolored beams of light shot up from the ground, piercing the dark sky.

The sight was strange and magnificent, especially under the gloomy sky, resembling sharp lightsabers made of pure energy.

Witnessing this scene, countless people looked at each other, bewildered and puzzled.

Even cultivators of all ranks, including Feng Jiu Kui, were puzzled by this strange phenomenon.

But at this moment, they could clearly feel that the energy concentration in the world suddenly surged and became extremely violent and chaotic.

Disorder often foreshadows enormous risks.

Alarm bells rang in Feng Jiu Kui's mind, a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart, and his face instantly turned ferocious and distorted.

"I knew it! Those bastards wouldn't give up so easily!"

He roared through gritted teeth, issuing a furious order: "The entire army must withdraw from the city immediately! Quickly! Anyone who is slow will die!"

This unusual behavior immediately attracted the attention of all onlookers. When even the invaders, who were determined to conquer the city, chose to retreat in panic, it meant that the city had become a dead end.

In fact, when a real disaster strikes, there is no safe place in the city.

More and more people were fleeing, and in the process of running away, they truly felt a chilling atmosphere.

The feeling was like a dormant volcano suddenly awakening, gathering the power to destroy the world.

The patients in the city also felt this uneasy tremor, and could even sense the subtle tremors coming from deep within the earth.

But despite their best efforts, they could not sustain their weakened bodies and escape this land that was about to become a hellish place.

Suddenly, a deep, muffled roar came from the depths of the earth, as if an ancient beast had awakened after a long slumber, releasing wave after wave of destructive energy shocks.

The city's residents experienced drastically different kinds of suffering under the impact of unknown energy.

Some people felt intensely hot, as if they had been thrown into lava, their clothes charred and their skin carbonized; others felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their bodies icy cold, and they exhaled chilling air from their mouths.

Besides experiencing extreme hot and cold sensations, some people felt as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer, their bones breaking; some coughed up blood and fainted on the spot; and some even went mad, talking nonsense and falling into a state of hysterical frenzy.

I thought that when disaster struck, it would be an apocalyptic scene of catastrophe, but now I realize that it is far more cruel than I imagined.

This inhuman torture makes life worse than death, and many people even yearn for the cataclysmic collapse of the heavens and the earth to come more quickly.

The moment this thought arose, the earth shook violently once more, and the already crumbling houses collapsed with a deafening roar.

In the center of the city, the solitary mountain peak also began to tremble violently.

The interior of the mountain had long been hollowed out, and now it was cracked open with deep, bottomless fissures from which thick smoke billowed out.

Amidst the billowing smoke, leaping flames and sparks rapidly coalesced in the sky above the mountaintop.

The cracks continued to widen, eventually tearing the mountain into several pieces, with the widest part reaching forty or fifty meters.

At one moment, a crack suddenly spewed out colorful smoke, which transformed into all sorts of bizarre and unbelievable phenomena in mid-air.

All the practitioners felt a terrifying concentration of spiritual energy at that moment—not pure spiritual energy, but a violent, chaotic, and destructive energy capable of destroying everything.

Those who had managed to escape to the outskirts of the city and were looking back when they saw the scene clearly, all of them changed their expressions drastically and turned pale with horror.

"Damn beasts! They actually... destroyed the spiritual vein!"

The existence of a spiritual vein beneath the mountain city settlement is already a semi-public secret. The Blood Demon Sect's invasion this time is largely aimed at seizing control of this spiritual vein.

What was thought to be a routine battle for resources turned out to be a far cry from the ruthless and decisive actions of the higher-ups in the mountain city settlement, who detonated and completely destroyed the entire spiritual vein!
They would rather destroy what they cannot have than let others have it!
However, such a crazy act will inevitably lead to disastrous consequences.

This move is tantamount to cutting off one's own foundation, and it will push the upper echelons of the mountain city gathering place to the opposite side of the entire cultivation world, making them public enemies that everyone wants to kill!
