“Feng Xiao, my estimate is that the Great Song can endure for another two months. Do your utmost to take in all the citizens.”
“Yes, my lord!”
Guo Jia nodded.
Just as Mei Changge was planning to quickly expand towards No Man’s Land, 30 miles away from Phantom City, Phantom Maiden led tens of thousands of Phantom Horn race members and blocked Kui Yuan’s path.
“Kui Yuan, your Mandrill race sure is arrogant!”
Phantom Maiden floated toward Kui Yuan, who was the leader of the Mandrill race.
Beside Kui Yuan were Kui Li, Kui Ba, and Kui Wu. They had just met and were heading toward Phantom City.
“Phantom Maiden, as long as your Phantom Horn race submits to our race, we will withdraw our army!”
Kui Yuan said to Phantom Maiden with a calm expression.
Naturally, these were merely words. Given their proximity to Phantom City, they had no intention of withdrawing at this stage.
“Heh, why don’t you submit to our Phantom Horn race instead? I might consider letting you off!”
When Phantom Maiden heard Kui Yuan’s words, she could not help but sneer.
“In that case…”
Kui Yuan’s expression was calm. He gestured to the Forest race behind him.
“Kill them!”
This time, he had led a force of 100,000 Forest race members, excluding Kui Ba and the others. While their individual strength might not have been remarkable, the territory controlled by the Forest race resembled an expansive forest.
Every member of the Forest race stood on tree after tree.
As the members of the Forest race poured forth, the earth quivered. Tree roots continually surged across the ground, enabling the trees to move along the terrain.
“King Mandrill, please bestow upon us the power of shadows!”
Kui Yuan bowed to the sky. Shortly after, a dark ball of light appeared in the sky.
“What’s that?”
Upon witnessing Kui Yuan’s actions, a hint of seriousness flickered in Phantom Maiden’s eyes. She felt a sense of dread emanating from the dark ball of light. Her spiritual body trembled as if she were afraid that the dark ball of light might make contact with her.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the dark ball of light turned into dark starlight and descended.
Not only the troops of the Mandrill race but some of the Forest race members had also been left a mark on their bodies by the starlight.
“So this is the power of shadows?”
Kui Yuan’s eyes reflected a touch of surprise. As the dark ball of light transformed into starlight and descended upon his form, he sensed a newfound strength within the spiritual energy coursing through his body.
This power did not affect his control of spiritual energy. It was as if it added a certain trait to the spiritual energy in his body.
“Kui Yuan, should we attack?”
Seeing that the Forest race had already charged ahead, Kui Ba’s eyes flashed with fighting spirit.
“Don’t be hasty. Let the Forest race have some fun with the Phantom Horn race first.
“Also, I plan to see how strong the power of the shadows given by King Mandrill is!”
Kui Yuan’s eyes were calm. He did not act rashly just because the Phantom Horn race was restrained by the power of shadows.
As a general of the Mandrill race personally chosen by King Mandrill, his status was above the others.
When he understood the power of shadows, it would be time for him to attack the Phantom Horn race.
“Do you think you can defeat my race by sending out some inferior race?!”
Seeing that Kui Yuan and the Mandrill race did not attack, a cold glint flashed across Phantom Maiden’s eyes. Then, she took out a small black flag.
This small black flag was the Calamity Flag that her lord had given her. “Woeful heart! Demons rise! Black fog gathers!”
Phantom Maiden immediately waved the small black flag in her hand and chanted.
Whoosh!
As she shook the Calamity Flag, violent winds suddenly blew.
The black clouds in the sky enveloped them at some point, instantly darkening the entire world.
Black clouds devoured the sunlight, casting the surroundings into darkness.
At some point in time, black fog appeared silently from the ground. However, as the surroundings were dark, it did not attract the attention of the Mandrill race.
“Is that… a treasure?”
Kui Yuan stood outside the battlefield with Kui Ba and the rest. Looking at the dark clouds, he frowned slightly.
Kui Yuan’s gaze landed on the black flag in Phantom Maiden’s hand, and his eyes were filled with thought.
It was not surprising that the Phantom Horn race and the Mandrill race were one of the three great races within a thousand miles.
“I wonder what use the black flag in Phantom Maiden’s hand has.”
Kui Yuan remained composed. He had directed the Forest race to engage in a battle to avert the Mandrill race’s losses, and as a subordinate race, he didn’t harbor any sentimental attachment.
This time, not only could he see the effect of the power of shadows, but he could also see the ability of the treasure in Phantom Maiden’s hand.
At that moment, members of the Forest race were perched on a massive tree, closing in on the Phantom Horn race. Unbeknownst to them, a black fog had already crept up the tree roots.
Moreover, the black fog quickly enveloped their eyes.
A willow branch suddenly stabbed at the surrounding members.
“Hey, what are you doing?!”
As the willow branch abruptly lunged towards him, a flicker of anger crossed the eyes of the Forest race member. He remained entirely unaware that the encroaching black fog was slowly veiling his vision.
“Kill them!”
Within moments, several willow branches launched another assault, displaying no regard for the members as kin..
