Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

The storm has arrived.

And this storm, which Qin Chuan himself stirred up, is sweeping fiercely in the direction he intended.

Chapter 37: The Truth?

Outside Mutian City, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive.

Mr. Fei exchanged a resolute glance with the other elders of the Dao Alliance, and then spoke in a deep voice to the younger generation, including Wang Quanba Ye:

"Young Master Ba Ye, you all stay outside the city to provide support! The situation inside the city is still unclear, so we old folks will go in first to investigate! If anything unusual happens, act accordingly and don't act rashly!"

Wang Quanba said urgently, but seeing the unwavering determination in the eyes of the elders, he could only swallow his words and nod emphatically:

Be careful in everything you do!

Mr. Fei, Elder Tianmen, Yang Yifang, and several other top elders of the Dao Alliance transformed into streaks of light and cautiously entered the Mutian City Gate, which was covered in golden slime and exuded an eerie stillness.

Inside the city, the golden "ocean" rippled slightly, and many controlled demon kings stood like golden sculptures with empty eyes.

On the high platform, the "Lord of Mutian City" stood with his hands behind his back, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"We have been waiting for you for a long time, seniors of the Dao Alliance."

A deep, slightly mocking voice came from beneath the cloak.

Mr. Fei's sharp gaze swept over the controlled demons around him, finally settling on the city lord:

"So you are the Lord of Mutian City? Hmph, what exactly do you intend to achieve by making such a spectacle? Hand over the secret techniques of my Dao Alliance and surrender. Perhaps, considering that no greater casualties have been inflicted, we might be able to..."

"Surrender?" Li Muchen scoffed, interrupting him. "Want the secret techniques? Then come and get them with your skills!"

Before she finished speaking, and without her making any move, the two controlled demon kings below the stage, Lord Chicken of the North Mountain and Lord Deer of the Ancient Forest, suddenly let out a roar that seemed inhuman, and with violent demonic power, they pounced on Mr. Fei and the others!

"Watch out! They've been taken over!"

An elder exclaimed in surprise, his magical artifact lighting up.

In an instant, the light of Taoist magic and the violent demonic power collided fiercely within the golden city!

Although Mr. Fei and his companions were advanced in years, they were experienced and possessed profound magical powers. For a time, they fought to a standstill with several controlled demon kings, with talismans flying, sword energy crisscrossing, and magical treasures roaring.

However, the golden morning light was all-pervasive. Just as the elders were fully engaged in dealing with the demon king's attack and their minds were slightly relaxed, a few fine strands of golden viscous liquid, like venomous snakes, quietly climbed up their ankles and quickly seeped in!

With two muffled groans, the two Dao Alliance elders, who were casting spells with all their might, suddenly stiffened, their eyes quickly dimming and becoming as empty as those of the demon kings. They then turned their attention to their former companions!

The situation reversed in an instant!

Mr. Fei and the elderly man from Tianmen faced immense pressure and found themselves in a precarious situation where they were struggling to survive.

Mr. Fei brandished his sword to repel the charging Chicken Master, and seeing his former friend reduced to a walking corpse, his eyes widened in fury as he stared intently at the figure on the high platform:

"Even if we all perish here today, let us die knowing the truth! Where does this evil power that manipulates minds and devours strength come from?!"

On the high platform, the "Lord of Mutian City" let out a low laugh, as if he had been waiting for this moment.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you."

Li Muchen's voice carried a deliberately exaggerated air of mystery and terror:

"This power is called—'Golden Dawn'! It was not created by me, but is a terrifying creature from outside the circle that was already lurking within it! It was a fish that escaped the net when that Third Young Master drew the line back then!"

Following the script she had agreed upon with Qin Chuan, she began to "explain":

"As for me, it was only by chance that I learned of its sleeping place from the dying Venerable Beishan. For many years, I have been secretly nurturing it, waiting for this moment to awaken! The reason for gathering so many demon kings and attracting your Dao Alliance experts is to use your vast demonic power and magic as the best food for its awakening, to help it fully recover its strength!"

While struggling to fend off the attacks, Mr. Fei listened intently to every word, his heart churning with turmoil!

An outsider! A fugitive! This news is shocking!

A resolute look appeared on his face as he suddenly turned to the old man beside him, who was struggling to maintain the Heavenly Gate Mantra against the golden viscous substance: "Brother Heavenly Gate! Did you hear that?! This fiend must not be allowed to live! This evil thing must be destroyed!"

The old man from Tianmen bowed his head heavily, veins bulging on his forehead.

Mr. Fei suddenly shouted, and his magical power surged as if it were burning. He recklessly transformed his magical power into the purest energy and poured it into the body of the Heavenly Gate Elder without reservation!

The Heavenly Gate Elder received this immense power, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he roared as he unleashed the Heavenly Gate Mantra with all his might!

The entire city of Mutian trembled violently, and the enormous golden light shield enveloping the city burst forth with unprecedented brilliance, forcefully breaking free from the constraints of the earth below and soaring into the sky.

Transforming into a giant golden meteor, it flew rapidly toward the border of the northern mountains, toward the legendary boundary drawn by the Third Young Master, separating the inner and outer areas of the isolation zone!

"The Third Young Master's 'circle' is the nemesis of creatures outside the circle! All creatures outside the circle will be annihilated upon contact! Even if this Golden Dawn is a fish that slipped through the net, there is absolutely no way it can withstand it! I will use this crippled body to send you on your way!"

Mr. Fei's voice carried a final resolve, and his figure gradually stiffened under the corrosive influence of the golden morning light.

"Good plan! Too bad, too slow!" Li Muchen sneered, completely unperturbed, and formed hand seals, "Yellow Spring Clan! Appear in the world!"

On the outer wall of Mutian City, countless runes lit up, and huge cracks appeared in the ground. Countless writhing, twisting Yellow Spring Clan members, like giant earthworms, were forcibly summoned and clung to the moving light barrier of Mutian City, frantically gnawing at it and hindering its progress!

Outside the city, Wang Quanba, who had been closely watching the situation, saw this and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

"You beast! Cease your arrogance! Heaven and Earth Sword!"

Wang Quan's sword intent soared into the sky, and an incomparably domineering golden sword aura swept across the sky, like a hot knife cutting through butter, instantly clearing out most of the disgusting Yellow Spring Clan!

Just as Wang Quanba was gathering his sword energy, preparing to strike again and forcibly cleave Mutian City to rescue the people.

"Brother! No!"

Li Quzhuo suddenly shouted to stop them, his face deathly pale:

"Everyone! Retreat! Retreat three hundred feet! Get away from Mutian City!"

Although everyone was surprised and suspicious upon hearing this, they instinctively retreated quickly out of trust in their companions.

"Clearing away impurities, what's wrong?"

Wang Quanbaye sheathed his sword and asked urgently.

Li Quzhuo stared intently at the moving behemoth, his voice trembling:

"The structure of this Mutian City... I felt it looked familiar but couldn't figure it out until now, seeing it in full operation, I understand! It's not an ordinary city! It's actually a gigantic spirit-guiding array!"

"A spirit-summoning array?"

"Yes! But it's not an ordinary spirit-summoning array!"

Li Quzhuo spoke very quickly, his voice filled with disbelief:

"Ordinary spirit-attracting arrays merely absorb the spiritual energy or magical power of heaven and earth, but this city absorbs and utilizes 'skill'! It's the technique of using magical power! It's the 'form' and 'rules' of the magic and supernatural abilities themselves!"

He suddenly looked at the kingdom and its hegemony:

"Brother! Your sword strike 'Heaven and Earth Sword' just now was incredibly powerful, but most of its power was probably absorbed and transformed by this city! It stole the Dao Alliance's secret technique and lured us into battle, but its real purpose wasn't the technique itself, but to make us fight here! Feed it with advanced spells and demonic arts! Every one of us who casts spells near it is providing it with 'food'!"

As if to confirm his words, Li Muchen's voice, tinged with approval and mockery, echoed through the city:

"The Li family's genius is indeed worthy of its reputation! They've seen through the core secrets of Mutian City so quickly! Not bad! Magic power alone is not enough for my Golden Dawn to reach its perfect 'complete form.' It needs more refined and delicious food, which is the 'skill' that you've honed and perfected to the extreme!"

"That sword strike outside the city just now was powerful and domineering, comparable to the Demon Emperor Fan Yunfei's Sand Control Divine Power. It can be considered one of the two most delicious meals to date!"

At this moment, Li Zizai's expression also changed drastically, and he exclaimed:

"No! A spirit-attracting array of this scale and design could theoretically only be realized through the core secrets of our Li family! No outsider could possibly set it up! Unless..."

A terrible thought popped into his mind.

Li Zizai's voice was extremely heavy, with a slight tremor:

"Second Brother! Use your Heavenly Eye! See who this cowardly Lord Mutian really is!"

Yang Yitan suddenly opened his third eye on his forehead, and a beam of pure divine light pierced through the layers of golden light that blocked Mu Tian City, landing precisely on the cloaked figure on the high platform!

The cloaks were useless against the Heavenly Eye, and a familiar face, beautiful yet with a mad and obsessive smile, was clearly reflected in the eyes of every masked member!

"Mu...Mu Chen?!"

"Little sister?!"

Li Zizai and Li Quzhuo were struck as if by lightning, and they both exclaimed in shock, their faces filled with disbelief and heartache!

"Why?! Mu Chen! Why did you do this?!" Li Quzhuo almost roared as he asked, "Do you know what you're doing?! Your master will never forgive you for this! You're courting death!"

On the high platform, Li Muchen met the heartbroken gazes of his brothers, but his smile only grew brighter, even carrying a hint of pride:

"Why? Of course, it's to prove my worth to Master! To prove that I'm more useful than anyone else! To prove that my path is correct! To clean house? Hahaha, once I've completed this most perfect masterpiece, Master will definitely understand! He will definitely recognize me! As for the consequences? I don't care at all!"

The mad words echoed between heaven and earth, sending a chill down the spines of everyone who heard them.

The masked group fell into a deathly silence, utterly shocked by the sudden 'truth' and Li Muchen's madness, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.

At this moment, under the full force of the Heavenly Gate Elder's urging, Mu Tiancheng, trailing a long golden tail, flew over the Northern Mountain Demon Kingdom.

Wang Quanba suppressed the turmoil in his heart, glanced at his frozen companion, and gritted his teeth, saying:

"We can't attack Mutian City! We need to go ahead first, break through the defensive formation of the Northern Mountain Demon Kingdom, and clear the way for Mutian City! We must get it into the 'circle'!"

This is currently the only way to destroy that terrifying golden dawn.

The masked figures awoke as if from a dream, transforming into streaks of light that rushed toward the demon kingdom's protective array in the northern sky.

Meanwhile, at the heart of the Northern Mountain Demon Kingdom, in the Demon Emperor's Palace.

The massive palace gates burst open with a roar, and Shi Kuan, the Northern Mountain Demon Emperor, who was over ten feet tall, with bulging muscles and exuding a heavy, mountain-like aura, stepped out.

Xiaoli was waiting anxiously outside the palace gate.

"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor! Mu Tian City is a conspiracy! His Highness has sent me to seek help!"

Xiaoli finished her report quickly.

Shi Kuan remained expressionless, but a cold rage burned in his resolute eyes.

He didn't say anything more, but simply looked up at the golden "shooting star" on the southern horizon that was rapidly heading towards the border, radiating an aura that even made his heart tremble.

The next moment, the ground beneath his feet cracked, and his enormous body shot into the sky like a cannonball, carrying with it a vast demonic power capable of crushing everything, and relentlessly pursued the direction of Mutian City!

The Demon Emperor has been dispatched, and the world is in turmoil!

The real clash is about to begin!

Chapter 38 The First Cooperation Between Humans and Demons

Enveloped in a monstrous golden light, Mu Tiancheng, propelled by the Heavenly Gate Elder's relentless drive, hurtled toward the border like a doomsday meteor.
