Chapter 251 - 104: The Fall of Tang City and Seizing the Narrative
"Shen Fei, it seems Tang City is gone..." Su Juncheng swallowed hard.
"Gone?"
Shen Fei retorted.
Su Juncheng surely wouldn’t joke about such a thing.
But how could Tang City just disappear?
Su Juncheng’s voice was heavy, "Previously, all our contacts in Tang City were severed.
Moreover, Battalion Commander Liu only received a little information from the last transmission of the Breaking Abyss Army in Tang City.
The Wu Family colluded with the Demons!"
Shen Fei was stunned.
He never expected the Wu Family, a longstanding family in Tang City, would collude with Demons.
Have these people gone mad?
At that moment.
Suddenly, a call came in, Shen Fei glanced at it, "Father-in-law, Governor Han is calling me."
"Alright. I’ll hang up for now."
Shen Fei took the call, and before Han Min could speak, he said, "Governor, did something happen over in Tang City?"
"You know already?"
"I just received the news."
Han Min took a deep breath, "Tang City is gone. According to the final intelligence transmitted, the Awakening Stone of the Professional Guild was stolen."
"Someone opened the Abyssal Passage directly within the city, and even the border defense there was completely wiped out."
"Additionally, news from the Deep City Border has arrived, stating that the depths near the Abyss Edge have forcibly opened a passage from the Blood Demon Abyss..."
"Two Abysses? There’s no support from the Breaking Abyss Army?"
Han Min’s voice was solemn, "Due to the Eye Demon Abyss rebellion, most of the combat forces from the South China Area have been dispatched this way."
"We’ve now urgently transferred some back, but I’m worried both the Blood Demon Abyss and the Flame Demon Abyss of Tang City have targeted Deep City."
"There must be the Holy Arrival Sect behind it all, possibly even Demon Organizations from abroad conspiring!
Their target is likely to be you."
"I’m also returning from the Eye Demon Abyss to guard Deep City, their Tier Ten won’t appear, but with the Abyssal Passage open.
Tier Eight, and possibly even Tier Nine will come."
"I can withstand Tier Nine, but the quantity disparity with Tier Eight is too great..."
"I’m sending people back right now."
"Okay."
Shen Fei hung up the phone, taking a deep breath.
This situation escalated too quickly.
The Eye Demon Abyss, Blood Demon Abyss, and Flame Demon Abyss would simultaneously launch attacks.
That only shows these three Abysses must be interconnected.
After all, Abysses would also fight among one another.
It’s quite rare for Abysses to unite and attack together.
"Three Abysses are all old acquaintances..."
No need to mention the Eye Demon Abyss.
As for the Blood Demon Abyss, Shen Fei had previously slain a Tier Two Blood Demon Grand Commander at the Abyss Edge, along with a batch of Holy Arrival Sect Demons.
Concerning the Flame Demon Abyss, during the public raid, there was once another Abyss invasion, which was from the Flame Demon Abyss.
"Empress, Little Cang, Stabbing Immortal, you three return to Deep City now, and if necessary, head to Tang City to ascertain the current situation."
"Alright."
Besides Little Pu, the others nodded and left the villa.
Shen Fei then dialed Su Juncheng back, "Dad, I’ve already sent my Summoned Beast back.
I’ll return in a couple of days."
Although Su Juncheng was puzzled, how could the Summoned Beast return without its Summoner? Could a Summoned Beast travel so far apart?
But Shen Fei was no ordinary person; naturally, he could accomplish extraordinary feats.
"Uh... Can you get in touch with Su Muyu?"
Su Juncheng was worried; considering the current situation outside, if Su Muyu encountered the Abyssal Army.
What then?
"She’s safe, don’t worry. I’m in contact with her," Shen Fei reassured. If there’s any danger, Little Pu will immediately teleport Su Muyu back.
Now that Little Pu has become the Nine Void Flower Maiden, space teleportation has a zero-frame startup.
"Okay."
Su Juncheng nodded; as long as Su Muyu was safe, it was fine.
Shen Fei hung up, leaned back on the sofa, and asked Little Pu, "Has your mistress resolved it yet?"
"Mm, almost. It should be done by tomorrow."
"Alright. Once she’s finished with her affairs, inform her about this situation and have her return to Deep City with us," Shen Fei still had to wait for both Northern Nether Black Tortoise and the transaction with Zhong Yan.
Then he sat on the sofa and made a call to Tang Yann.
"Leader?!"
Tang Yann was a bit surprised, as Shen Fei seldom called him directly.
Usually, it was a simple message instructing him what to do.
"Inform the Innovation Association students in the South China Area, Tang City is gone.
Have the Sports Department to issue a task to volunteer for guarding Deep City or clearing the Abyssal Creatures outside, and I’ll cover the credits."
"Tang City is gone?!!"
"Yes. It’s confirmed."
...
Inside Tang Yann’s villa.
Listening to Shen Fei’s call on speakerphone, he froze when hearing ’Tang City is gone’.
The brush in his hand unconsciously fell, smearing the nearly completed painting in front of him.
The sound of the brush hitting the table snapped Tang Yann from his daze.
"Tang City is gone..."
Tang Yann murmured.
Swallowed hard.
How could this be possible? Even if a base city is in crisis, there would be tons of news and videos.
How could it just disappear like Tang City did?
"Alright, I’ll notify Sister Shanlan immediately."
After hanging up, Tang Yann quickly dialed Zhao Shanlan and explained everything.
"Tang City? Tang City of the South China Area?" Zhao Shanlan was taken aback by the news.
"Yes."
Tang Yann rubbed his temples; this news was explosive. A base city’s population, even if Tang City isn’t large, multiple tens of thousands of people at least.
And then it’s just gone all of a sudden.
"Alright, I’ll send the task out now. Hmm... Do we need to notify the people from Tang City?"
Tang Yann hesitated, realizing most Innovation Association members are from the South China Area, and while statistically entering Imperial University might not be high, there are still people from Tang City.
"Announce according to statistics."
"And notify people from Deep City, since their situation is also quite precarious now."
"Okay."
Tang Yann hung up, thinking about calling Lin Zhige, who also originated from Deep City.
"Deep City’s in trouble? Tang City is gone as well... did the leader say so?
Alright, I’m heading back right now!"
"Stay safe."
Tang Yann exhaled, leaning back in chair, murmuring, "Afraid this time the Abyss and Demons are targeting the leader."
"If news of Tang City’s demise spreads, it might be blamed on the leader, leading to a chorus of criticism."
"After all, in irrational moments, people will only curse the ones causing disasters, not those who manufactured them."
Tang Yann leaned back, contemplating before making another call, "Senior Sister Le, please compile the videos of the leader slaying Abyssal Creatures and Tier Seven slays from before.
Also, inquire about what non-secret info Breaking Abyss Army can provide for video compilation."
"Furthermore, ask Director Wang from Desert Abyss about conducting an interview."
"And what’s happening at school, you..."
Tang Yann instructed the publicity department with tasks. He wasn’t stupid.
Something significant must have transpired in Desert Abyss.
Based on the intelligence he’s accumulated and overheard stories, it’s likely the Demons made a move against Shen Fei in Desert Abyss.
The results must have been positive.
However, it also shows the Demons’ infiltration depth, with some pretending as professionals yet serving as demon spies.
Though the Tang Family wasn’t prominent, Tang Yann was aware of its many superficialities.
For a well-respected leader.
If a breakthrough can’t be found, then smear his reputation.
Humans aren’t always rational, easily misled by public opinion.
Such problems can’t be ignored.
