Chapter 2471 Ah, Mother!
Chapter 2471 Ah, Mother!
The previous series of earthquakes had stopped, and the entire city of Yujing seemed to have entered a state of hibernation under the moonlight.
Occasionally, buildings collapse, with a loud crash.
But everyone knows that behind this brief period of calm, an even more violent storm is brewing.
At this moment, the Cyclops King, who had just shaken off his pursuers and met with the other two great demon kings, received a report from his subordinates: "The Stone Heart Fire has gone out, it's stopped churning!"
For thousands of years, the subterranean fire beneath the deep cave has been constantly surging and erupting, providing energy for the operation of Jade Capital City, and has never been silent for a moment.
It is the heart fire of Mother Earth; its cessation means...
The monsters were in an uproar, all panicked.
Those immortals weren't lying; Mother Earth was dead!
Even the highest authority of this city has been captured by the other side. What is the point of them staying in Yujing City? Are they just waiting to be purged by Lingshan?
Most importantly, even the top generals did not receive any instructions from the Earth Mother.
The immortals of Mount Ling are wreaking havoc, while the little stone man with ill intentions, who is constantly monitoring the entire city, has yet to show his face.
All signs indicate that Jade Capital City is no longer a safe haven for demons, and its most powerful protector has fallen.
As the rainbow light danced in the sky and came this way, the Bear King scratched his head, turned around, and roared as he summoned his troops.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; everyone goes their separate ways.
The wolf king glanced at the cyclops king, then turned and led his pack of wolves and hundreds of monsters in another direction.
It knew that Yujing City was already a ruined city, but there were still a lot of supplies stored in the warehouse!
Now that the Earth Mother is dead, those mystical crystals and magical artifacts are nothing but rich, unclaimed treasures!
And wouldn't you know, the wolf king knew exactly where they were stored? Isn't that a coincidence?
It has worked diligently under Mother Earth for so many years, and even if it hasn't made any great contributions, it has certainly put in a lot of hard work. Shouldn't it receive the reward it deserves before it leaves?
So it led its men and ransacked the place.

……
South of Yujing City, the Violent Bear King led more than a hundred demons in a hurried flight, carefully evading the pursuit of the immortals of Mount Ling.
This magnificent city, now a ruin, has become a good shelter.
Four or five streaks of light flashed across the low sky, without lingering in this direction. The Bear King waited until they were far away before emerging from his hiding place and whispering, "Alright, follow me!"
It wasn't that it couldn't defeat those humans, but rather that it didn't want to waste time arguing with them. Given the current situation, it was best to avoid getting entangled with the enemy.
Just fifteen minutes ago, they could roam freely in this city, but now they have to hide from the enemy. Sigh!
Just then, several large stones suddenly fell from a tower not far away, making a few loud bangs and startling the demons.
A voice also rang in the ears of the Bear King:
"Come into the tower."
The voice was extremely familiar. The Bear King was startled and blurted out, "Ah, Mother..."
Before he could finish speaking, the voice snorted at him harshly: "Don't make a sound. Come to the tower by yourself, and don't bring any of your men."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, the Bear King ordered his men to wait under the eaves while he climbed into the abandoned tower.
The tower is just leaning, it hasn't collapsed, and you can still see a lot from the top.
When the Bear King climbed to the top of the tower, he saw a red figure standing by the round window, which looked like a human.
To be precise, like a human ghost.
It scratched its head, looked around, and saw no one else.
"It's me." The red figure spoke, and it was the voice of the Mother Queen that the Bear King knew best.
"Your Majesty the Mother?!" The Bear King was shocked and instinctively took two steps forward. As a result, the tower creaked and trembled, as if it could not support its weight.
It can only stop.
"You, you're different..." It measured the other person from head to toe, "You're not the same as before!"
It recognizes the Earth Mother, obeys its master, possesses a hard stone armor, is always confident and capable of anything in this Jade Capital.
How could it be such a blurry red ghostly figure in front of me?
Are you injured? Do you need to rest?
Shangguan Biao was preoccupied and had no time to pay attention to its emotional expression, so he asked directly, "How many men do you still have?"
“Less than two hundred.” The Bear King pointed out the window. “We could pick up another seventeen or eighteen further ahead, but most of them went with the Wolf King.”
It then added, "Should we chase them back? If I chase them, I might catch up with the wolf king."
Where are they going? Out of the city?
"Well, I think they went towards the White Pagoda, which is quite far from the city gate."
The Bear King felt something was off about his answer.
It thought about it carefully, and realized that in the past, the Mother Goddess knew Jade Capital City like the back of her hand. She knew the location of every demon soldier better than anyone else. Unlike now, when she had to ask her.
The White Pagoda? Shangguan Biao was secretly annoyed.
There's a supply depot for Jade Capital nearby, stockpiling many treasures. The Wolf King probably wanted to make a killing before he fled!
That damned thing. Once he recovers, he'll find it sooner or later and skin it alive!
"That's enough." Shangguan Biao said calmly on the surface. "Go to Duzhi Mountain."
"Huh? Du Zhishan?"
"What is the problem?"
"No, no!" The Bear King scratched his ribs again. "It's just that there are many people from Ling Mountain there, and they've fought with us several times."
Previously, under the command of the Earth Mother, the demon army of Yujing City fought several battles with Lingshan. The most intense battle was between the Changfeng Valley base and Duzhishan.
Thanks to the assistance of the Earth Mother's power, the Lingshan forces suffered heavy losses. However, the cultivators brought by the Sihai True Man were generally of a higher level than the demon army, so the latter were also badly defeated, especially the Cyclops clan.
Right now, Mother Earth is under a lot of psychological pressure because she wants the Bear King to go to the Tiger Mountain instead.
“That was before!” Shangguan Biao said with exasperation. “Lingshan’s attention had long since shifted to the Heavenly Demon and the Panlong Secret Realm.”
"Oh, well, that's good." The Bear King breathed a sigh of relief. "So what should I do when I get to Duzhi Mountain?"
"Kill someone. Then, I need you to bring me something." Shangguan Biao glanced out the window as well. "This number of men should be enough."
"I'll go right now." The Bear King turned and walked down the tower.
However, after taking only two steps, it turned back and asked Shangguan Biao, "Mother, the battle was fierce just now, and many of our weapons were damaged, and we are running out of supplies."
It took out a pill: "This is the last medicine I have for my wounds."
In the previous great battle, the Bear King led his men and was the most valiant of the three demon kings. The Cyclops was prone to slacking off, and the Wolf King also had some ulterior motives, but the Bear King was the only one who was decisive and never compromised on his word. Shangguan Biao was well aware of all of this.
Besides, he still needs to rely on these monsters to get things done, so he should definitely equip them.
He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Let's go to Xiao Zhaolin's wheat field on the way; there are plenty of supplies there."
