Peerless Immortal Son-in-law

Ding Yi and the others were arranged in the depths of the city, the furthest away from the city wall. That way, they wouldn't be able to sense the enemy attacks even if they were attacked.    

    

Ding Yi had guessed a lot more about this arrangement.    

    

It was obvious that the arrangement had a purpose here. Ding Yi vaguely guessed a little of the meaning behind it.    

    

The sixteen soldiers were heartless, and after half a day of tiredness, they all fell asleep after they arranged their accommodations.    

    

The sky gradually darkened as Ding Yi sat cross-legged in his room. The narrow room was lit up by an oil lamp.    

    

Suddenly, the door was pushed open and a gentle breeze blew the oil lamp on and off.    

    

"Brother Ding?" Wen Yi's voice sounded.    

    

Ding Yi opened his eyes. Upon realizing that it was Wen Yi, the corners of his mouth slightly raised as he said, "Brother Wen, please come in."    

    

"Ha ha-ha, I could tell with a guess that you're still awake." Wen Yi smiled as he closed the door and walked in. He sat on the wooden chair next to the oil lamp and said, "What do you think about what we saw on the city wall today?"    

    

"Nothing else. I just thought the truth might not be what he said." Ding Yi shook his head, implying something.    

    

He did not make it clear, but Wen Yi naturally understood Ding Yi's meaning, he nodded and said: "Looks like we cannot just listen to his side of the story, if we have time, we can ask about the Ice and the array and see if it is as he said."    

    

"Yes."    

    

With that, Wen Yi left.    

    

He just came over to tell Ding Yi that he had already noticed it, so there was nothing much to say. He originally came here to fulfill Young Emperor's request, but now it seemed that it was not that simple.    

    

What Young Emperor said might not be true.    

    

However, only Ding Yi and Wen Yi knew of these questions. The two of them tacitly did not mention this matter.    

    

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.    

    

During this period of time, they did not encounter any enemy attacks. The soldiers who were guarding the city also recovered from their state of vigilance. They, who were already exhausted, became even more dispirited after experiencing three days of intense stress.    

    

If it weren't for the threat of survival and the order from their superior, they would have long since fallen to the ground and fallen into a deep sleep. These days of vigilance had caused their nerves to tighten to the limit.    

    

Unknowingly, the wind grew colder.    

    

The night was dark, and in the area shrouded in darkness, a shadow slowly began to surge towards the city.    

    

At this moment, the city guards were all drowsy. None of them noticed that the shadows outside the city had already reached its outer walls.    

    

It was not until they got closer that the shadow revealed itself under the moonlight. Then, they started to climb up to the city wall.    

    

These beasts were half a meter long, scorpions wrapped in ice crystals, and spiders ten feet long with just a single leg. There were all kinds of animals, such as Snow Bears, that were taller than the second floor.    

    

It was obvious that the animals and insects of the Northern Realm had undergone a different degree of alienation, and all of these alienation had to do with the ice. It was no wonder that this Northern Realm area was getting colder and colder, as it was filled with Ice Element s, how could it not be cold?    

    

The first ones to climb up were the scorpions and spiders. They didn't know how they managed to keep their huge bodies from falling off the city walls. In short, they quietly climbed up.    

    

A city guard was dozing off when he suddenly felt a chill on his face. His heart tightened and he suddenly opened his eyes. A pair of huge fangs appeared in his pupils.    

    

"Ah!" The scream pierced the night sky, then stopped abruptly.    

    

Chewing sounds could be heard in the night sky as blood splattered from the neck of the city guard. A large spider was gnawing on its fangs as it slowly swallowed the corpse of the city guard.    

    

The city guards were jolted awake. They looked in panic in the direction of the scream. At this moment, more and more beast race experts began to climb up the wall. It was only then that people noticed that a large number of beast race experts had already gathered at the foot of the city and were climbing up the wall.    

    

"Ah!" The scream pierced the night sky, then stopped abruptly.    

    

"Help!"    

    

"Lord, report! Enemy attack!"    

    

Screams could be heard endlessly. The city guards on the city wall immediately resisted, but it was too late for them to retaliate now, as many of their comrades had already died in the hands of the beast race.    

    

In the past, they had relied on special methods to kill these beasts before they had even reached the city walls. As a result, by the time they had reached the city walls, they would have suffered heavy casualties.    

    

However, the current situation was completely different. It was already too late for the beast race to react, since they had all climbed up the city walls without being affected.    

    

This was a one-sided slaughter. These beasts were like terrifying alien creatures that were slaughtering the city walls, causing rivers of blood to flow.    

    

The city wall was too high, and although the situation above was terrible, no one below could see it.    

    

Finally, a person who was less than half of his body dragged him to a corner. He endured the pain and picked up a palm-sized horn in the corner.    

    

Wuwuwu …    

    

The low and mournful sound of a bugle horn echoed in the air.    

    

After a short while, it abruptly stopped.    

    

However, the sound of the horn was enough to wake everyone up. Everyone in the giant city woke up. The guard who received Ding Yi before immediately rushed out of his room with a change in his expression.    

    

It was a complete mess outside. Fire and screams could be heard everywhere. The beast race experts had taken up the entire wall and were rushing towards the city.    

    

Once they rushed into the city, it was obvious that the city would fall because there were simply too many of them. The humans stationed here were merely members of a single family.    

    

"What's going on?!" The guard rushed out of the room and grabbed a flustered soldier.    

    

"S-my lord, the beast race is charging forward!" The soldier stammered.    

    

Hearing this, the guard's face turned pale and he almost fell to the ground.    

    

How is this possible?! The grand defensive formation had not been activated, nor had any weapons of mass destruction been used. How could they have let the beasts attack?    

    

At this time, the soldier panicked and said, "Sir, the city guards are asleep. They didn't discover the beast race soldiers. By the time they did, it was already too late."    

    

"Quickly retreat, or we will all die here!"    

    

"Bullshit, the Mayor is still in closed door cultivation, how can we abandon the city and escape!" Hearing this, the guard immediately scolded angrily, "Assemble, hold this old man back! Kill anyone who dares to escape!"
