Huang Jun is currently nursing his injuries.
The wound Xiao Zhan inflicted on his chest was torturous, the black Death Aura gnawing at him like bone maggots, impossible to clear away.
He could only weaken it bit by bit with immense Spirit Manipulation Energy.
"Death Demon Scythe, what an intense Death Aura, the purity of this Death Aura far exceeds their current Realm."
Merely Third Grade strength, yet this aura forces even someone of the Fifth Grade to confront it seriously. This shows how much fortune Xiao Zhan and his team gathered over this past year.
The more he dealt with them, the more astonished he became.
At this moment, the communicator rang.
"Uncle, Xiao Zhan and his team are indeed not dead, but it seems they were taken away by a group," Huang Fei’s voice came through the communicator.
"Taken away by whom?"
Xiao Zhan’s survival was completely within Huang Jun’s expectations.
Although it was only their first skirmish, he knew that Xiao Zhan was not someone who gave up easily.
"It’s unclear, but there were many people at the scene, I didn’t dare to pursue hastily."
Upon hearing this, Huang Jun fell silent for a moment, "Wait there, I’ll come over soon."
After hanging up the communicator, Huang Jun looked at his wound, the flesh was flipped open, terrifyingly ghastly, with Death Aura still clinging on, looking as if it was moldy.
With such an injury, it was not suitable to take action. He thought for a moment and decided to first control his injury before doing anything.
But he couldn’t just ignore the situation with Xiao Zhan. Thus, he picked up the communicator and contacted the military forces loyal to the Huang Family.
Ye Wudi, along with Ye Ajian, was patrolling the defense line tiredly. Outside the defense line, there were corpses everywhere, both human and demon beasts.
Blood was splattered all over, creating conspicuously bright spots against the white canvas like the flowers of a winter plum.
"This wave of demon beasts is completely different from before; they are too frenzied, utterly fearless of death, as if being controlled by someone," said Ye Wudi, worry evident in his voice.
If this trend continues, I’m afraid the Northern Defense Line won’t hold for long.
"Father, the scouts have just reported back, they have figured out the cause of this wave of demon beasts," Ye Ajian said, following behind.
Ye Wudi stopped in his tracks; although he didn’t care much about the cause, he was curious to know.
"It’s because the Snow Demon King in the Northern Snow Domain has awakened."
Ye Wudi’s face instantly filled with shock, "Are you sure the information is accurate?"
Ye Ajian also knew this was almost unbelievable, but since the information was brought out at the cost of several scouts’ lives, he had to believe it, "Father, the information is absolutely accurate, I have a recorded video here, you can take a look."
Saying that, he took out a video to play.
The video showed a canyon amidst a storm of wind, sand, and snow, with snowflakes fluttering all over. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novelFɪre.net
Numerous demon beasts gathered here, various grades and types, almost every creature found in the Northern Snow Domain was present.
In front of them, a figure shrouded in the wind and snow floated above their heads.
This figure was roughly the size of a human, but its contours and features were indistinct, only a vague shadow was visible.
But just from the aura it displayed, and the way numerous demon beasts prostrated before it, it was clear that this figure was extraordinary.
However, Ye Wudi, who is extremely familiar with it, recognized the figure at first glance—it was the king of the Northern Snow Domain, Snow Demon King!
But upon confirming it was indeed the Snow Demon King, Ye Wudi was extraordinarily shocked and confused.
"Seven years ago, my older brother sealed the Snow Demon King. Logically, it shouldn’t be possible for it to break the seal and appear here, how did it manage to break the seal?"
"I’m not clear on that, but from the data comparison of the transmitted images, this Snow Demon King is indeed the same one from ten years ago," Ye Ajian said.
He immediately carried out a data comparison, and after several repeats, the result was the same.
Only then did he come to report.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wudi’s face furrowed deeply.
If it truly was that Snow Demon King, then the Northern Defense Line would likely be hard to defend.
Given the Snow Demon King’s violent temperament, it would certainly seek insane revenge for past grievances.
In those days, his older brother Ye Wuming, with the strength of the Peak of Sixth Grade, used all conceivable methods to suppress rather than kill the Snow Demon King.
Now, although he had also reached the Sixth Grade Realm just like his brother had back then, he did not possess the same confidence to suppress the Snow Demon King again.
Watching the Snow Demon King reveling in the worship of tens of thousands of demon beasts, Ye Wudi’s expression twisted into a tight scowl.
"Have Youlong and others returned?" Ye Wudi changed the topic and asked.
"I’m not sure, didn’t have the time to ask."
Ye Ajian immediately dialed the communication line of the Northern Town. Soon, the other side picked up, transmitting the voice of steward He.
"Young Master, may I know your instructions?"
"Steward He, have Youlong and others returned?"
"Young Master, Miss Youlong and the others have already returned and are currently resting in their rooms. Would you like me to wake them?"
"No need, let them rest."
"Very well, Young Master."
Ye Ajian hung up the communication and turned to Ye Wudi, saying, "They have returned and are currently resting."
Ye Wudi nodded, "Don’t call them to the defense line for now. I suspect it won’t be long before we have to retreat to the second defense line."
The first defense line, located on the outermost outskirts of Northern City, had a long perimeter and dispersed firepower, suitable for handling ordinary demon beast tides.
But against the Snow Demon King, it would not be sufficient.
The second defense line, also the last line of defense, had a shorter frontline and concentrated firepower, specifically designed to handle top-tier demon beasts.
However, if the second defense line collapses, then the entire Northern City would collapse as well.
However, apart from the initial period of anomalies, since the Ye Family started defending Northern City, there had never been a collapse of the second defense line.
Now, Ye Wudi did not want to be the one to break this record during his tenure.
However, unbeknownst to them, the person who connected the communication within Northern Town mansion, was not steward He at all.
The real steward He had already fallen into a pool of blood.
Moreover, besides steward He, everyone else within Northern Town mansion had been controlled.
Those who refused to be controlled had also ended up in pools of blood.
Meanwhile, a man shrouded in a black robe stood in the central living room of Northern Town mansion.
He slightly tilted his head up; in front of him, on the main wall of the living room, hung a Ye Family family portrait.
His gaze was dark and malicious, lingering for a long time on the youngest and prettiest woman in it.
And that woman, was none other than Ye Youlong!
