I asked you to practice physical skills, not to open the Eight Gates!

Chapter 113: Unprecedented Crisis
The Holy Capital is the core of the Shenxia Kingdom and the place where the most combat power is concentrated.

When Li Yang arrived in front of the Holy City, he found that this once open city had now built a new city wall outside the city.

Moreover, Li Yang saw through the Sharingan that there was a huge circular barrier covering the holy city.

Those walls are the support points of the barrier.

"This barrier... is very strong and comprehensive, even covering the deep underground beneath the city."

"This should be the barrier that President Chi and his team jointly set up to prevent the mysterious tree from taking root and growing."

By analyzing the extent of the barrier before us, we can see what kind of pressure the Holy City is facing that would require it to set up a barrier of this strength.

The situation in Shenxia Kingdom was much more serious than Li Yang had imagined.

After a preliminary observation of the situation outside, Li Yang quickly walked towards the city gate of the Holy City.

When he came to the city gate, the guards saw him and shouted,
"Who are you? Please stop immediately and don't go any further!"

"I'm Li Yang. Tell President Chi that I'm back." Li Yang shouted.

"Li Yang? Are you Lord Li Yang?"

The people on the city wall took a careful look and finally recognized him.

"It's Li Yang back, open the door!"

As the hero of the last war between humans and monsters, who in the entire Shenxia Kingdom doesn’t know Li Yang?

Even if you haven't seen it, you've heard of it.

Most people in the Holy City have seen Li Yang.

Seeing him coming back, the guard quickly opened the door.
"Master Li Yang, you are finally back."

"Ah."

"I'll go inform the president and the others right away."

"No, I'll just go find them."

Li Yang asked them to continue guarding their posts, and he walked towards the headquarters of the Shenxia Alliance.

He was also very familiar with the situation in the Holy City, and arrived at the headquarters of the Shenxia Alliance with ease.

However, along the way, Li Yang noticed that a lot of things happened in the Holy City.

The most obvious thing is that there are many more people in the Holy City.

The streets and alleys were full of people, and some spacious places even had many tents set up, which were full of people.

These people were obviously not originally from the Holy City, but from other cities who were forced to settle in the Holy City.

It would not even be an exaggeration to say that they were fleeing.

Even the Holy City has to accept these refugees, so you can imagine how serious the current situation is.

Everyone at the Shenxia Alliance headquarters knew Li Yang, and when they saw him come back, their faces were filled with excitement.

Until Li Yang entered the conference hall of the alliance headquarters.

At this moment, Chi Xiangguang, Zhao Chanfeng, Wang Mingfeng, Yun Qian and other top experts from Shenxia Country were all present in the conference hall.

When they saw Li Yang suddenly appear at the door, they were all stunned for a moment.

Finally, Zhao Changfeng was the first to react.

"Li Yang, you're back?!"

Li Yang nodded: "Yes, Brother Feng, President, there are so many group leaders here."

"Okay, this meeting is over for now. You guys go back and make preparations. Changfeng, you stay here. Everyone else, go out."

Chi Xiangguang waved, and everyone else left sensibly.

"President, should I go out for a while as well?" Li Yang asked jokingly.

"You guy, I asked them to go out just to let you stay, didn't I?" Chi Xiangguang gave him a displeased look.

This kid dared to make fun of him. "I just thought you and Brother Feng had other important things to discuss." Li Yang said with a smile.

"Even if there is something important to discuss, I have to discuss it with you." Zhao Changfeng said.

After a few quick words and some laughter, the three of them got serious again.

"Li Yang, when did you come back? Tell me about your situation first." Chi Xiangguang said.

Li Yang nodded and began to recount his experiences during this period, including being teleported to the Black Desert and the conflict with the West Phoenix Kingdom. He briefly talked about them.

"It actually teleported you to a place as far away as the Black Desert. It seems that this mysterious tree has a purpose."

"What about Gu Qingqing?"

Chi Xiangguang noticed that Gu Qingqing did not come back with Li Yang.

"She went back to Yayu Country." Li Yang said.

"You let her go?"

"Ah."

"Forget it, as long as she's not in our Shenxia Country, it doesn't matter if she goes back. But if she comes back with us, maybe she can help deal with the mysterious tree." Chi Xiangguang said.

The greatest effect of Gu Qingqing's curse power is that it can destroy the mysterious tree.

"I also have a way to destroy the mysterious tree now, so I don't need her."

"What on earth has happened during this period of time? Why are there suddenly so many mysterious trees in our Shenxia country?"

This is what Li Yang needs to know now.

"The story begins on the second day after you were transported away by the giant mysterious tree."

"After you were transported away by the mysterious tree, the giant mysterious tree began to release mysterious seeds wantonly, nurturing mysterious trees on a large scale within the territory of Shenxia."

"Although we have already destroyed some of the mysterious seeds before they had a chance to grow."

“But a considerable number of mysterious seeds still successfully grew into mysterious trees, which are the mysterious trees you saw on the way back.”

"These mysterious trees are even more powerful than the ones that were rampant back then, and they have extremely strong corrosive power."

"After the tree first appeared, many people were corrupted by it, lost their humanity, and turned into zombies."

"We urgently withdrew our defenses and concentrated our forces on defense, but the power of the mysterious tree is so strong that ordinary barriers cannot stop it."

“Many cities have fallen.”

"In the end, we had to gather all eight legions together and work together to set up a barrier to stop the erosion of the mysterious tree's power."

"Now, there are only eight barriers in the entire Shenxia country that can block the erosion of the mysterious tree, and these eight places only accommodate two-fifths of the people in Shenxia country. The remaining three-fifths of the people have become puppets of the mysterious tree."

Chi Xiangguang's face looked very heavy.

Now the result is obviously very bad.

"Three-fifths of the people turned into puppets of the mysterious tree? Then why didn't I see any of them on the way here?" Li Yang asked.

If so many people have been eroded, then we should be able to see some along the way.

"We are also puzzled by this. Those corrupted people did not attack us, but disappeared inexplicably."

"We haven't figured out the reason yet," said Chi Xiangguang.

The situation is dozens of times more serious than Li Yang had imagined.

Mysterious trees are rampant and the Shenxia Kingdom is facing an unprecedented crisis.

Even more severe than the monster war!

"Then, President, have you found a strategy to deal with it now?" Li Yang asked.

Chi Xiangguang nodded: "I have found some solutions."

"At present, through various attempts, we have found two ways to kill the mysterious tree..."
