"Report!!"

At the Jiangnan Gateway, a scout tasked with inspections all over Jiangnan rides the fastest Dragon Colt back toward the Jiangnan Pass at full speed.

At the pass, Tian Heng, in charge of command, looks at the returning scout with immense shock.

The scout’s entire armor remains intact, but it is visibly apparent that beneath the armor is rotten, pitch-black dead flesh. The horse he is riding has blood-red eyes, with its body ulcerated and pus flowing all over the ground, clearly suffering from a terrifying epidemic!

"Seventh scout, Liu Yong reporting, urgent military intelligence, please notify the highest authority immediately!"

Tian Heng sees it clearly; the liquid constantly oozing from the other’s body, and the hoarseness in his voice indicate an immense level of pain. That he could manage to reach here in such a state speaks volumes about his willpower.

No wonder Chen Qing relies more on the Warrior Army; the military spirit of the Warrior Army is truly incomparable to that of the Western Sea Army.

"Open the gate!" Tian Heng hurriedly ordered.

The people below quickly opened the gate upon seeing this.

"No!" The scout shouted sternly: "Do not open the gate, and do not open the gate for any scout behind me!"

Tian Heng stood on the city wall, frowning, and said with authority, "You need not worry. I have already notified the disciples from the Huang Academy to come, and they will surely be able to..."

"Mr. Mei is already dead!"

Tian Heng: "!!!"

Mr. Mei from the Huang Academy was one of the few elderly who entered the academy.

Before joining, he was a first-class renowned doctor in Jiangnan.

After practicing at the Huang Academy for five years, he mastered the Spirit Gathering Array and perfectly integrated medical skills into techniques.

Now he is in charge of teaching at the medical school of the Huang Academy and is a renowned figure all over Jiangnan.

A couple of days ago, he went out to collect mutated samples, and over thirty elite extraordinary scouts from Jiangnan were assigned to him.

And now he was being told that Mr. Mei is dead?

And died from this epidemic, how terrifying is this thing?

"Mr. Mei instructed that this situation must be communicated to the front lines. Those infected with this plague might even have problems if they go to Hell, so please, sir, be cautious!"

While speaking, the scout directly disrupted his heart meridian!

"You..." Tian Heng jumped directly down from the city wall in shock, but he heard the scout utter with his last strength: "Please sir, do not come near, this epidemic spreads in unknown ways, and even a strong man like you might not avoid it.

After I die, please use the Flame of Yan Yang to burn my body, do not let anyone near here, and do not allow anyone to approach! !"

As soon as those words fell, with his heart meridian broken and without blood support, he turned into a puddle of viscous liquid in just a few breaths.

This tragic way of dying caused the soldiers on the city wall to take a sharp breath!

They’ve seen quite a few scenes when fighting demons, but this way of dying...just thinking about it gives them goosebumps all over!

"Immediately inform the Hell Ruler and gather the newly received souls to see if Mr. Mei is among them!" Tian Heng immediately ordered.

"Yes!"

"Activate the Flaming Sun Array, activate it immediately, seal off the surroundings, no outsiders are to be allowed in, including... our own people who went out!"

"This..."

The soldier responsible for conveying the message was taken aback upon hearing this. The previous instructions made sense, but completely cutting off the retreat for their brothers seemed...

"Do as I say. If the master blames us later, I will take full responsibility!" Tian Heng said, his face livid.

He was quite close just now, and every hair on his body stood on end; that feeling was very peculiar, as if he would be in danger if the soldier got a few meters closer.

He is after all at the King Level, yet he had such a feeling, if this epidemic spreads to Jiangnan, it would be a nightmare!

All measures must be taken to stop it!

"Yes!"

---------------------------------------------

"What happened?"

At that moment, Chen Lin, who had just started her duties, was still familiarizing herself with administrative affairs alongside Wei Gongcheng, including some functions of Lyuzhou Hell.

Compared to a county Hell, the Virtue Power of Lyuzhou Hell is overwhelmingly rich, with some functional buildings like the Soul Suppressing Tower.

Within the Hell’s domain, as long as you control it, even the Ghost King Level resentful spirits can be directly suppressed with the abundant Virtue Power in Lyuzhou!

There were also various structures for converting merits, leaving her truly amazed.

But before she could even begin to observe, a major event occurred!

"My lord!"

A few Night Traveling Gods hurried over in a panic.

Wei Gongcheng frowned; the Night Traveling Gods under him, including Chen Qing’s older brother, are now all at the Extraordinary Level, equivalent to a Thousand-households Level in the army, and they’ve seen battle before during the North Wasteland war.

What could have happened to make them so panicked?

"My lord, it’s good that you haven’t left yet, something big might have happened, please come and take a look!"

Wei Gongcheng was taken aback and quickly followed them. Chen Lin didn’t mind; it was normal for the Night Traveling Gods to not trust her, who had just been selected, after all, one was the highly respected Official Wei, and the other a girl with no fame...

She followed behind the two, curious about what event could make these veteran Night Traveling Gods so frazzled within Hell.

As they approached the place the Night Traveling Gods mentioned, a chill surged within her, almost instinctively activating the self-defense formation she had learned!

Wei Gongcheng also frowned deeply. Currently, after Chen Qing conquered the Heaven’s Court, he rose directly to King Level standards and had already been assigned divine duties, wielding immense Divine Power, yet he too felt this terrible threat.

What in Hell could be giving him such a threat?

No wonder the Night Traveling Gods below were panicking.

But upon nearing and seeing the scene ahead, Wei Gongcheng sucked in a breath of cold air.

They were blobs of distorted flesh, seeming to be melted lumps of flesh, each evidently exuding the aura of Jiangnan’s people, but with a notably horrifying essence on them that made even him shiver.

This is...

It was Wei Gongcheng’s first time witnessing a force capable of influencing souls so severely after death.

"Where did these people come from?" Wei Gongcheng hurriedly asked.

"Reporting to my lord, most have already lost their sanity, only able to howl in pain. But judging by their clothing and aura, they should be the scouts dispatched earlier!"

Brought back from the battlefield?

Wei Gongcheng’s pupils shrank, suddenly recalling Chen Qing’s words that the Demon Realm’s forces might soon target Jiangnan, especially given their powerful Apocalypse Four Armies, each of which was incredibly strong.

With the Warrior Army cooperating with the Flaming Sun Array, they should barely be able to withstand, but one requires particular caution.

"What?"

"The Apocalypse Third Army representing the plague!"

Plague...

Wei Gongcheng regained his senses, looking at the agonizing lumps of flesh on the ground, and inhaled sharply.

The power the master spoke of was indeed overbearing to such an extreme?

To have souls twisted into this shape from pain, once actual combat starts, how could an ordinary army withstand it?

The deployed scouts, all at the Extraordinary Level, couldn’t resist it. How could such a war be fought?
