Chapter Thirty-One: Under the Name of Protection

  "In three days at most, Star City may face the greatest crisis in history, with countless demonic beasts attacking! The demonic beasts have not really retreated, and we only have three days left. To be precise, there are only two days left, and the distance between each star city is such that even a strong pre-heavenly realm cultivator would take at least ten days to arrive. Relying on other star cities or the main city for rescue in a short period of time is definitely not possible, so we must hold out for at least twenty days! I hope everyone will go through this most critical juncture with me and jointly resist these countless demonic beasts. This is not for my sake, but for all our people! Since the great disaster, we have sacrificed countless heroic predecessors to gain this brief peace, and I do not want this peaceful environment to be destroyed! What about you?"

  "No!" The officers standing upright in front of the city gate shouted in unison, and many people in front of computers and TVs also involuntarily shouted out loud! Who has an unforgettable feeling for this land where they live, especially in these chaotic times, cherishes the land under their feet even more. And now, suddenly hearing that this place where they have been living a happy life is going to be destroyed, no one wants it!

  Everyone shouted in unison, also willing to protect the Star City! The sound echoed throughout the city, and even the sleepless night seemed to have heard this thunderous response. After a slight pause, their faces seemed to have improved a lot, and their voices became even louder.

  "Yes, none of us want our homes to suffer such disasters, but when disaster strikes, we can't rely on others, the only ones we can rely on are ourselves, and the stable life of our wives and children must also be fought for, gambled for, and won by killing monsters!"

  "For the peace of our home, for the future of our children, allow me to resist in the name of protection!"

  "Resist! Resist! Resist to the end!......" The thunderous roar outside made even Ye Chen's blood boil with excitement. He now wanted to rush out and engage in a fierce battle.

  Then, Ye Wu said a few rules, first to gather women and children together for unified protection, and then to distribute ordinary moves and kung fu, engraved on iron pillars, for everyone to watch. As soon as this measure came out, it triggered an earthquake-like frenzy, causing all civilians and people with mediocre abilities to go crazy.

  To know the inner power, not everyone has it. Many people only practice the most common and cheapest universal qigong method. Even if they reach the highest level, they can only reach the sixth or seventh stage of the mortal world, and cannot be further improved unless they encounter a rare opportunity or coincidence that allows them to break through.

  As for the moves, it's even more difficult to obtain. The ones that are available to the general public are okay, but once you get to the ones with some real power or special abilities, they're immediately sealed away and become exclusive to the major powers. Ordinary people can't even get a glimpse of them!

  The sleepless night, this open move, instantly made all ordinary people go crazy, rushing towards the direction of the city master's mansion at incredible speed, even the beast invasion two days later was selectively forgotten.

  If it were before yesterday, Ye Chen might still be envious, but now that he has the Sword Transformation Manual, his mental state and sword moves have merged into one, far surpassing those ordinary secret manuals by who knows how many times!

  Ye Chen didn't say a word, but looked at the screen with a solemn expression. He then turned to Ye Xue, who was excitedly watching the screen and wanted to call out to her brother to learn those internal skills and martial arts together, but suddenly saw Ye Chen's stern face.

  "Brother, what's wrong with you? Let's go and take a look," Ye Xue asked softly.

  "Ah, well, never mind, go take a look, and buy some stuff while you're at it." Ye Chen smiled and patted Ye Xue's head.

  Ye Xue's face lit up with excitement as she happily pulled Ye Chen out the door, rushing to grab a good spot to get a better view of the technique.

  Ye Chen didn't want to agree at first, but looking at Xiaoxue's expectant gaze, Ye Chen couldn't bear to hurt Xiaoxue, and it just so happened that he needed to prepare some things, so he agreed.

  Outside, it's a sea of people, perhaps the craziest traffic in history, all going in the same direction!

  "Have you heard? The city master has opened up the secret martial arts manual! Hurry and go take a look, if you're late you won't be able to see it!"

  "What? Really? When did this happen?"

  "Haven't you watched TV or computer? Hurry up and let's go, we'll talk on the way!"

  There were many uncertain voices on the road, and there were also many urgent voices. Whether or not people heard the sleepless speech at night, they all went in the direction of the city master's mansion soon, and more and more people came.

  Ye Chen and Xiao Xue walked on the road, which became extremely crowded. Although they were not moving forward, it was absolutely slow. Ye Chen made a phone call to Chen Tao on the way.

  Chen Tao excitedly said: "Everyone has gone mad, they're all heading towards the City Lord's Mansion, are you going or not? I also want to set off and take a look!"

  "I'm on my way, you'd better not come, go buy some tents, high-grade demon beast fur and some demon-repelling grass..." Ye Chen said to Chen Tao.

  "Alright, this place is far from the city lord's mansion, even if we go, we can't see much. I'll listen to you, I'll leave the city first, when will you come over!" Chen Tao nodded solemnly as soon as he heard what Ye Chen wanted to buy, knowing that Ye Chen wanted to leave the city.

  "I'll also prepare some things and then head back once, and bring Xiaoxue out to find you!" Ye Chen said as he walked.

  "Alright, we'll wait for you!" Chen Tao replied.

  Ye Chen and Ye Xue followed the crowd towards the City Lord's Mansion, now walking was much faster than taking a carriage, the entire main road was impassable for carriages anyway. However, for those who had good cars, this ordinary technique was nothing to them, they already had better techniques, so what did they care about these?

  Those people are more in awe of Ye Wu's ingenuity, able to think of a way to keep ordinary people from fleeing before the disaster strikes. In reality, these ordinary people are the ones who want to escape the most but have no way out. Once they're driven to desperation, what awaits is a riot. Perhaps even before the monster attack, the entire Star City will be severely damaged, and at that point, it won't be able to withstand even five days, let alone twenty.

  Now looking at these ordinary people, there is no sign of escape. They all rushed to the city master's mansion like crazy, and soon the entrance of the city master's mansion was surrounded by a sea of people!

  Looking at the chaotic crowd, the guards had already come out to maintain order. Ye Chen saw Night Without Sleep standing sternly in front of the door, saying something loudly, but he couldn't quite make out what it was. However, judging from the cheering crowd in front, he knew that whatever Night Without Sleep said must be beneficial to the people!

  Behind Ye Wumeng were Lu Rong and Ye Xiaodie with worried faces, as for Hu Lao, he would never appear in such a scene!
