The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 429 The Holy City of Fierce Ghosts [Part Four]

【city defense】

Eight Rings: Encountering five feng shui evils: White Tiger, Tai Sui, Demon Dragon, Green Vine, Black Snake.

Nine Rings: The outer safe zone that has been explored and has not encountered any risks.

However, it is worth mentioning that:
The original eighth ring boundary extended outwards, all the way to the outer safety zone where the original ninth ring was located, which was collectively referred to as the suburban city, or simply: suburban city.

The reason was that Feng Ling took away the White Tiger Demon King and Tai Sui, which caused the ninth ring barrier to permanently disappear.

Considering the city's defenses and the difficulty of construction, the Night Demon King and other Great Sages had no choice but to reinforce and modify the Eight Rings Barrier, extending it outwards to cover the entire outer area.

As a result, there is no longer a distinction between the eighth and ninth rings!

……

The Holy City of Demons is oval in shape, stretching 10,000 li from east to west (with a radius of 2,500 kilometers) and 8,000 li from north to south (with a radius of 2,000 kilometers).

According to the law of ellipse: S = π·ab
Roughly estimated, the territory of the Holy City of Ghosts covers an area of ​​more than 15.7 million square kilometers.

Although the actual area will differ considerably due to its irregular ellipse shape, it is still roughly the same as the total land and sea area of ​​the Huaxia Kingdom in Feng Ling's previous life.

Therefore, after much wandering and several hours, Feng Ling and Mo Yu finally arrived at the remote outskirts of the Holy City of Fierce Ghosts.

"Extending and reinforcing such a large area of ​​barrier must have been quite a challenge for Ye Xing and the others!"

High in the southeastern sky above the suburbs, Feng Ling quietly looked down at the enormous light screen below. Then, his divine sense rapidly spread and enveloped the entire Holy City of Fierce Ghosts.

In my divine sense, the Holy City of Fierce Ghosts was enveloped by eight hemispherical barriers that hung down like lotus pods, layer upon layer, like an onion that was airtight and impossible to dissect.

In addition, there are three barriers in the inner city, four barriers in the outer city, and one barrier in the suburbs.

A total of thirty-two city gates and checkpoints were set up in the east, west, south, and north of the eight barriers.

Each city gate is guarded by a ten-thousand-strong law enforcement team led by a peak-level mortal saint.

Each of the thirty-two city gates is guarded by thirty-two peak-level Saint-level commanders and thirty-two hundred thousand members of the enforcement team at the legendary level or above.

If we also include the four peak-level Saint-level commanders patrolling the city and the 40,000 members of the law enforcement team, the city's defense force reaches 36 peak-level Saint-level warriors and 360,000 legendary experts.

The thirty-six peak mortal saints need no further explanation; they were the soul slaves of the peak mortal saint realm who had been trapped in the universe within the belly for thousands of years.

The 360,000 legendary powerhouses were human survivors and ghost elites recruited and selected from the entire Ghost Holy City by the nine deputy city lords.

Back then, Ghost City experienced the Nine Infants Calamity, resulting in countless deaths and injuries among the human race. Many of them transformed into vengeful ghosts and became new members of the ghost race, but those who survived were all outstanding individuals of that era.

The same applies to the demon race!

The only difference is that the ghost race dies once and their soul is completely destroyed, while the human race needs to die twice: the first time to become a ghost, and the second time their soul is completely destroyed.

Regardless of the current situation of the ghosts and humans in the city, their survival is enough to prove that they are different from ordinary people.

However, the survivors of the ghost and human races within the city still need to engage in further infighting and compete with the elite offspring of the new entrants.

In this way, they can only become members of the city defense enforcement team and contribute to the city defense fortifications of the Holy City of Demons by constantly challenging elites from all walks of life and maintaining a high win rate.

Furthermore, although 360,000 sounds like a lot, when distributed throughout the vast Holy City of Demons, it is barely enough.

"Although the suburbs are so remote, the barrier is extraordinary and unbreakable, which shows that Ye Xing and the others have indeed put a lot of effort into the city's defense!"

As she landed on the southeastern edge of the suburban city, Mo Yu nodded approvingly, then tapped the barrier with her jade fingers, producing a crisp, thumping sound.

"The city is orderly and thriving, and the outer defenses are impregnable; it is truly impeccable!"

Feng Ling sighed.

Whether it's the layout of the city's defensive forces or the management of administrative divisions, the fact that Night Ghost King and his team managed to achieve this level of success in just six months greatly satisfied him.

"Hey, what are you doing, daring to linger here before the Holy City's barrier?"

"Retreat immediately! The Holy City Enforcement Team is here; how dare you lowly scoundrels destroy the barrier!"

Suddenly, a series of loud and clear commands came from the east and south gates of the suburban city.

Immediately, two city defense teams of a thousand men each, led by late-stage Saint Realm experts, patrolled and encircled the city from the east and south sides of the suburban barrier.

Southeast of the suburbs, before the barrier.

Feng Ling and Mo Yu did not turn around, but only glanced at the two law enforcement teams that had rushed over in a hurry because of the strange noise from the barrier.

"Are you two deaf? What are you standing there for? If you don't leave, don't blame me..."

"What are you dawdling for, you grown man? When you encounter people like them with ill intentions, you should execute them on the spot as a warning to others!" With that, the two law enforcement captains, a man and a woman, stopped arguing and were about to lead their men to attack.

Mo Yu suppressed his anger and urge to attack, and exchanged a strange glance with Feng Ling.

Immediately, Feng Ling slowly turned around and looked at the two law enforcement captains with a half-smile: "Jiang Yuancheng, Black Fox, you two are quite the big shot!"

These two law enforcement captains were none other than Jiang Yuancheng and Black Fox. Since the reconstruction of the Holy City of Fierce Ghosts, this ghost and this demon had volunteered to come to the suburban law enforcement team and serve as captains of the patrol team outside the city.

Although both were captains, their status surpassed that of the law enforcement captains of the inner and outer cities, second only to the commanders of the thirty-six Soul Slaves.

"Lord, Lord...!"

Upon seeing Feng Ling's face, Black Fox and Jiang Yuancheng were filled with fear and quickly led their men to kneel on one knee.

"Clang!"

A crisp metallic clang rang out from the weapons and armor. Two thousand men, moving in perfect unison, knelt in a dense, dark mass, attracting the attention of many passersby entering and leaving the city.

……

On the south gate tower of the suburban city, the East Gate Commander, who had come to visit, was sparring with the South Gate Commander when they heard a commotion outside the city.

"Why is there a riot outside the city? What are Jiang Yuancheng and his men doing? Aren't they going to maintain order?"

"Commanders, you've misunderstood. Jiang Yuancheng and Black Fox have already gone there! Why don't I lead the troops over to take a look?"

Upon hearing this, the two commanders frowned, stood up and glanced into the distance, only to see that several company commanders had already led their men to the east gate.

However, before the two commanders could withdraw their gaze, they saw several groups of people suddenly collapse after squeezing into the rioting crowd, as if they had sunk into the sea, and scattered among the crowd, nowhere to be found!
"Hiss! Who is so fierce? How can they have such terrifying strength!" Upon seeing this scene, the two commanders were shocked and exchanged a glance.

"Forget it, just leave now!"

Immediately, the two commanders soared into the air from the city tower, leaving behind a message in the ears of the captain who had volunteered: "Your cultivation is still too shallow. The two of us will go and investigate on our own!"

Unfortunately, karma is a cycle, and no one escapes the wrath of Heaven!
"Ah...how is this possible! They weren't even a match for two commanders, and were taken down by the enemy?"

Before long, the captain who had volunteered stood on the city wall, staring in disbelief as the two commanders also plunged into the crowd and disappeared!

"Black Fox, Jiang Yuancheng, why are you kneeling here as the leaders?"

Two Soul Slave Commanders arrived from the air. They glanced at the crowd and saw that they were kneeling on one knee, not lying dead as they had imagined. They breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, a surge of anger rose within them.

"Humph!"

Unfortunately, before the two could react, they heard a woman snort. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman sitting on a futon.

Because the two men were sitting, they were at the same height as the law enforcement team members who were kneeling on one knee, which meant that the two commanders did not notice their presence immediately.

"My lord!" Upon seeing Feng Ling and Mo Yu's faces, the two commanders no longer dared to maintain their composure and quickly knelt down.

Seeing this, Feng Ling's mind stirred slightly, and he calmly said, "What were your identities before? Do you still have any unfulfilled wishes? Tell me your names!"

Upon hearing this, the two Soul Slave Commanders replied without hesitation, "Soul Six and Soul Nine, we do not remember the past, we only wish to share our master's burdens!"

Seeing the two Soul Slave Commanders so eager to pledge their loyalty, Mo Yu glanced at Feng Ling and smiled, saying, "Alright, stop teasing them. I told you that although they have regained some self-awareness, they have no ulterior motives. Now you should believe me!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling raised an eyebrow, waved his hand, and sent a gentle breeze that lifted everyone up.

During this time, the nameplates that everyone wore on their waists jingled, and the nameplates on the waists of the two commanders clearly showed the words "Sixth Soul Commander" and "Ninth Soul Commander" in bold, flamboyant characters.

Feng Ling knew that this nameplate was jointly issued by the ten city lords' mansions, serving not only as an identity marker but also as a pass to the checkpoint.

"Disperse. Go do whatever you need to do. Just pretend we were never here!"

Feng Ling did not investigate further. He had a brief conversation and offered a few words of comfort to the law enforcement leaders, including Hun Liu and Hun Jiu, before disappearing with Mo Yu.

Because Feng Ling was hiding behind the scenes, Hun Liu and the others naturally couldn't call him City Lord in public. Even if they did call him City Lord in private, Feng Ling probably wouldn't be happy to hear it.

So everyone called Feng Ling "Master" without worrying about others overhearing.

After all, there are many people in positions above them on the surface, and if others had not seen Feng Ling's portrait, they would certainly not be able to discern the truth.

Every time a creature hatches, it's a new beginning...

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages and saints offer you a pure land for your souls.
