Chapter 1840: Beset on All Sides

"It's the Twilight Society members!!"

"Damn it, they were already hiding in the Red Dust Prison!"

"A fine Twilight Society, to actually use a feint to attack from the east?!!"

“……”

Eunuch Zuo had indeed deployed many men in the city in advance, but Chen Ling's charge just now had drawn a massive amount of attention outside the prison.

Everyone subconsciously assumed that the reason Chen Ling used the train to force his way into the prison was because that train was also carrying Twilight Society members... but they never expected that Chen Ling was the only one on that train.

It was merely a decoy used to attract their attention!

While the manpower in the city was being deployed to the outer wall, the Twilight Society members hidden within the city launched their attack the moment the outer wall was breached, coordinating with Chen Ling to clear the path ahead while causing chaos to block the outer wall's forces on the front line.

This caught the Red Dust Prison's defenders completely off guard.

"There aren't many Twilight Society members! Eliminate them quickly!"

"Leave none alive!!"

Densely packed figures shouted, rushing rapidly toward those attacking the sentry towers.

The Heart Jack did not retreat but advanced, laughing wildly a few times before raising his blade to slash into the crowd, engaging them in a melee.

On the other side,

An old woman leaning on a cane looked at a whole row of sentry towers with kind eyes...

"The world is going downhill... not only hitting the elderly, but ganging up on them too..." The Spade Queen sighed deeply and silently raised her fist.

Then, with one punch, she shattered two sentry towers.

"This old woman is also from the Twilight Society!!"

"What the hell, is her strength too high?"

"We need more manpower here! Otherwise, we can't stop her!"

“……”

Playing cards fluttered across the chaotic outer wall.

Over a dozen high-tier combatants of the Twilight Society had completely engaged the outer wall defenders in battle.

Eunuch Zuo stood on high ground, taking in the chaos below. The anger in his chest had been suppressed, leaving only absolute calmness and seriousness...

Chen Ling, who could not be targeted by attacks, had smashed open the outer wall that should have been impossible to breach, and those Twilight Society members who suddenly rose up from within the city—all of this was beyond his original expectations... but still within the tolerance range of the Red Dust Prison.

The sudden strike by the Twilight Society members was indeed catching them off guard, but their numbers were simply too few... The Red Dust Prison had gathered experts from several other major prisons and the Cheng Tian Domain; the number of Tier 6, Tier 7, and Tier 8 individuals alone was staggering.

Looking at the Twilight Society, apart from that Red King Chen Ling, none of the others were even Tier 8.

Don't be fooled by the Twilight Society's current commotion; in five minutes at most, Eunuch Zuo could have them all executed.

"Eun... Eunuch Zuo..."

Just then, a trembling voice rang out beside him.

"What is it?"

"Am I seeing things... why are there humans turning into Calamities outside the wall??"

Eunuch Zuo was startled and immediately turned to look outside, only to see figure after figure flying toward the outer wall!!

With a flicker of their forms, they transformed from human shapes into roaring Calamities: skeletal giant wolves, pitch-black venomous insects, flesh-and-blood demon foxes... even the surface of the outer wall began to sprout tumor-like plant roots!

"Storm the Red Dust!! Support Mr. Chen!!"

Old Wolf charged at the very front, his thunderous roar echoing through the heavens.

Hearing the name "Mr. Chen," the many Fusers following behind him were suddenly as if injected with adrenaline, their speed increasing even further.

This massive legion of Calamities surged directly along the gap in the outer wall smashed open by Chen Ling, crazily pouring into the city!!

"The Fuser Faction?!" Eunuch Zuo was shocked. "How could they appear here??"

The Twilight Society stirred up trouble from within, while the Fuser Faction launched a brutal assault from without, immediately leaving the Red Dust Prison's defenders beset on all sides, and the formation they had finally stabilized fell into chaos once again.

"I don't know..."

"Why hasn't the alarm sounded even though they've reached the wall??" Eunuch Zuo quickly realized the next problem. "Our sentry towers should have only had less than one-tenth destroyed by the Twilight Society..."

"I've already gone to check, I should be back immediately..."

Before Eunuch Zuo could say anything more, he saw a figure rushing toward him.

It was the guard patrolling outside.

"How is it? Did you find the cause?" Eunuch Zuo asked immediately.

The guard nodded firmly!

"Reporting to you, my lord, it is because..."

The guard suddenly froze in place.

"Because of what?" Seeing him suddenly freeze, Eunuch Zuo asked anxiously.

"Uh..." The guard scratched his head. "I forgot..."

“？？？”

Eunuch Zuo was stunned for a long while, and his anger flared up instantly!

What time was it now? The Red Dust Domain was being turned upside down, the Red King Chen Ling had broken into the prison, and both inside and outside the walls were in total chaos... At such a critical moment, he could forget critical information??

He grabbed the guard by the collar and slapped him twice, roaring:

"Go check again!!!"

"Tsk tsk, no need to check."

A lazy voice rang out from behind.

Eunuch Zuo looked back to see a boy wearing plastic flip-flops, his hair so greasy it looked like he hadn't washed it in days, sitting on the outer wall with his head propped up. His other hand was nimbly fiddling with something that looked like a buzzer, the corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"All your alarm devices... have been dismantled by me."

The moment he saw that person, Eunuch Zuo's heart sank.

The Thief Divine Path?

"Are you with the Fire Tamperers?" Eunuch Zuo was incredulous; he even felt a bit numb. "How are the Fire Tamperers getting involved in this too?"

"Sigh, just the King's orders."

Qing Huo slowly stood up. "By the way, my colleagues have almost dismantled all your assets... In a moment, your entire defensive line will..."

Qing Huo used his hands to form the shape of a roof, then slapped them flat, adding sound effects:

"Boom!"

Eunuch Zuo's gaze grew colder, and the killing intent of a Tier 8 began to spread rapidly in the air!

"But let's be clear, you aren't my opponent... I'm just here to be a nuisance." Qing Huo chuckled and waved his hand. "Bye-bye."

Eunuch Zuo naturally couldn't let him go. He raised his right hand abruptly, and an aura of the Prostitute Divine Path erupted, as if to forcibly keep Qing Huo there...

But as Qing Huo took a step back, his form instantly turned into a sky full of debris and vanished without a trace.

Hundreds of meters away,

His figure stumbled and landed on the ruins of a sentry tower.

"Phew... that was close." Qing Huo felt the terrifying pressure from just a moment ago and patted his chest. "That guy is strong... if I had slipped away any slower, I might have really lost my head..."

Qing Huo relaxed for a moment and looked around, preparing to continue causing trouble to disrupt the battlefield, when a figure wearing snake-shaped earrings caught his eye.

"Hey, wait a second!" Qing Huo's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward to block the other person.

"You're the one who just stole that guard's memory, right?"

"Tier 7 Thief Divine Path... not bad, huh?"

"Do you want to join us Fire Tamperers? You could even become a Saint of Thieves."

“……”

Bai Ye slowly turned his head, looking at Qing Huo with a speechless expression.
