Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1713 - 769: Storm Approaching (Part 2)

The demons below were taken by surprise, and the new Demon Kings like the Eight-Eyed Fierce Earth Demon were also one by one accepted as Demon Leaders under the Old Demon Kings.

Each one was taken in, so each of the Four Great Demon Kings had an additional formidable lieutenant under their command.

Whether they can truly control them, that remains to be seen in the future.

But for the moment, the prestige of the Old Demon Kings like Green Demon and Shu Bird Demon reached its peak.

All demons shouted their names, with cheers rising wave after wave.

As the demons at the scene truly entered the feast, in a state of high spirits, no one noticed a group of humans who also attended the feast quietly slipping away.

The local tyrant carried the unconscious Xiang Shui Fan on his shoulder.

It was unexpected, too unexpected.

The Old Demon Kings actually won the power transition struggle.

That also meant their captivity grounds could return to its former safety.

So, why would the local tyrant need to continue risking an escape from Demon Capital?

After all, to escape for one’s life means facing the entire Demon Capital and demon hunt, while obediently staying captive only sacrifices freedom, not personal safety.

The local tyrant knows the importance between life and freedom.

As for the boy needing rescue, as long as he doesn’t stir trouble tonight, doesn’t involve him, he can choose any time to rescue his mother except for tonight! He must take the boy back to the captivity grounds and cautiously get through the night to feel relieved.

Green Demon glanced briefly in the direction the local tyrant was leaving, but that’s all it was.

Captivity of humans was a sort of attempt agreed upon by him and someone else.

As for who the captive humans are, who can survive, and how many can live under this model, it’s irrelevant to him.

What is needed is just to walk through this mode of interaction, proving it’s a feasible way rather than specifically wanting to captivate certain people.

The wild feast soon passed.

Humans originally meant to be a feast were all due to Green Demon’s return, sent back to the captivity grounds, regaining safety, leisure places, and stable food supplies.

Having gone through such an ordeal, these captive humans, like experiencing Stockholm syndrome, go from an intense hatred towards the idea of captivity by Green Demon King, to crazily admiring and worshiping Green Demon, some even kneeling in devotion as if in faith.

The changes among them indeed are complex, but Green Demon, at this moment, is too occupied to pay attention.

Because after reclaiming formidable forces like Long-haired Fire Stepping Demon last night, early the next day, the Four Demons went to wait outside Lord Lan’s great hall.

However, until the sun rose high to noon, they heard the summons from inside.

"Come in."

The Four Demons entered in single file, respectfully saluting Lan Yuhe.

Outsiders only feel their strength has advanced rapidly, but only they themselves know their bodies have undergone earth-shattering changes!

The strange flesh and blood residue, once entirely absorbed and digested, gave them power beyond their imagination.

And they only obtained the leftovers from that time, while Lord Lan gained the entirety!

Not entering the mountains, one can only feel the height of the mountains.

Entering the depths, one perceives the greatness of the forest.

At this moment, they look at Lord Lan as a tiny ant seeing the vast sky, deeply feeling their own insignificance.

"You absorbed well, but still lacking a bit. Go to Thunder City, with the Sky-reaching Pillar in their city, I can make you even more perfect."

As he spoke, Lan Yuhe plucked a strand of hair, blowing it towards Green Demon.

Green Demon reached out to catch it.

"Take this; it will have a purpose once you reach Thunder City."

"Yes!"

The Four Demons withdrew.

There was excitement, tension, but above all, an infinite longing for the future.

Having sailed with this ship for so long, they were finally beginning to step towards an obviously beautiful future!

Heading to Thunder City, truly means capturing Thunder City!

The teleportation array provided earlier by Thunder City that allowed the capital’s army to descend upon Demon Capital, such matters have yet to be properly settled with those humans of Thunder City!

And now is the perfect timing!

As they walked out of Lan Yuhe’s great hall, they exchanged glances.

"I never thought I could make such advances in strength!" Heart Burning Demon first remarked.

"My bloodline shows signs of returning to ancient origins, it’s so wondrous!" Shu Bird Demon whispered excitedly.

The Four Demons, more or less, due to this retreat, gained tremendous benefits.

"Thunder City..." Green Demon’s gaze went afar, lost in thought.

The demons of Demon Capital were starting to mobilize.

Recently reclaimed Four Great Demon Leaders were at this moment akin to army generals, commanding their demon followers to gather.

A massive demon army gradually took shape, a vast dark mass stretching out of sight.

"I wonder how he will react knowing I am attacking human towns..."

Green Demon’s thoughts drifted towards a certain someone, but quickly focused, his gaze resolute.

"Set off!"

The command was immediately relayed layer by layer.

"Set off!"

"Set off!"

"Set off!"

The enormous army began advancing towards Thunder City!

Their movements were grand and undisguised!

The target was Thunder City! The people of Thunder City could run, hide, evade, but the resolve to flatten Thunder City wouldn’t change.

...

Chaos.

Thunder City was in chaos.

Just recently starting to get back on track, only freshly recovering from turmoil, Thunder City hadn’t even revitalized yet, and faced a catastrophic hit—a demon army gathered in Demon Capital, overwhelmingly pressing towards them!

Thunder City’s citizens felt the sky was falling.

Especially upon realizing the demon army was ignoring all other towns along the way, indifferent to any situation, coming straight, directly towards Thunder City.

"It’s over!"

This was everyone’s first reaction.

Next came panic, panic spreading like an insane contagion, engulfing Thunder City, almost everyone full of fear and unrest.

Even the Bo Family, one of the former Ten Major Families, having gained many benefits through crisis, faced the pressing demon army without confidence.

Yes, their remaining families indeed grew stronger from absorbing resources from the other families of the former Ten Major Families.

But in terms of comprehensive strength, they were still uncertain whether the peak collaboration of the Iron-like Ten Major Families was stronger or now with the Four Great Families.

Plus, after Thunder City’s disaster, the city’s infrastructure and various defense measures were far from fully restored.

Coupled with the panic and thoughts of fleeing Thunder City far outweighing the will to resist.

Under such compounding factors, even the Bo Family wasn’t sure if an attempt to resist had any significance.

However, this was their Thunder City, their Four Great Families’ Thunder City!

Though worried, they couldn’t bring themselves to hand it over.

Most importantly...they discovered that the Demon Emperor Lan Yuhe did not seem to be with the advancing demon army!

If that’s the case, their Thunder City could still have the power to fight with the Sky-reaching Pillar!

With minds determined, they gathered the other families.

Soon announcements were made, stabilizing the populace, sealing entrances and exits, binding everyone in the city to join hands with them!

Where the city stands, so do the people; where the city falls, so do the people perish!

The announcement created uproars among the people, with grievances abounding.

And at this moment of internal and external troubles...the rebel leader Qiu Xiaoping began covert actions, while absorbing quality talents within the city, she also spread the message that their Rebel Army had means to help people escape Thunder City!

On one side, they were about to bind themselves with a dead city, waiting to die with the Four Great Families.

On the other, the Rebel Army was promising them a chance to escape and rise to life.

Who the masses would choose is without saying.

Not everyone is willing to forever be buried with their homeland.

Better to live poorly than to die well; as long as life persists, possibilities are endless.

More and more began joining the Rebel Army, further stirring the undercurrents in Thunder City, making the situation increasingly tense, as if a storm was looming on the horizon.

As the demon army kept closing in, the situation and conflicts within the city intensified!
