Originally planning to speak by following the two, seeing their bodies fall from mid-air, his whole body turned cold immediately, and he stopped the fear in his heart, not daring to continue making a sound.

"All the citizens of the city, return immediately. Hou Clan army, listen to my command, split into four divisions and guard the four gates of Sifang City. All martial artists in the city, come to me, join the temporary City Defense Army, assist the army in defending the city, quickly, quickly, quickly!"

Hou Yuduan's voice was as calm as he could muster, but those keen of hearing could still pick up some panic in it. Whether it was the civilians or the Hou Family Warriors in Jianye Prefecture, everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and none reacted immediately.

"Are your ears deaf? Quickly, go back, the army must swiftly divide into four parts to guard the four gates of Sifang City. The demons are coming, do you just plan to stand here and watch to die?"

Hou Yucheng shouted in alarm and anger, finally awakening everyone. The civilians and martial artists all jolted and saw some oddly shaped demons poking their heads out from the black clouds, prompting everyone to move quickly.

Of course, panic still inevitably spread among the crowd.

"The demons are coming, flee quickly!"

"Run...!"

"Where can we run to, where else can we go?"

"Run, run, run...!"

"Why would Jianye Prefecture City draw so many demons...?"

...

Seeing the unrest among the civilians below, Hou Yuduan's face suddenly darkened.

He reacted quickly, yet he still couldn't control the situation. The large number of people in Jianye Prefecture City was now the most fearful, especially if they caused chaos themselves. The pressure from the demons was already enough; if they messed up their own ranks, more people might die.

"Fourth brother, take the people of the Hou Clan to stabilize the city's order and severely punish those taking advantage of the chaos. The demons aren't here yet, if chaos erupts in the city when they arrive, we will all be doomed!"

"Understood!"

Hou Yujie immediately recognized the severity of the situation upon hearing this and nodded in agreement, then leaped into the city to gather troops.

"I'll go organize the army!"

"I'll inform the people of the Lower Hou Sect to come out and help!"

Before Hou Yuduan could speak, Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuling immediately responded, both knowing their tasks. As their voices fell, they turned and flew off...

However, before they could leave

Moo...

A loud, thunderous sound echoed from mid-air, and overwhelming demonic qi instantly descended, enveloping the entire Jianye Prefecture City. In an instant, those who hadn't left all raised their heads, looking up to the sky, a touch of terror appearing simultaneously in their pupils:

There was a minotaurs demon, approximately thirty thousand feet tall, with muscles like knotted cords over its entire body, standing like a black mountain. Its head alone was as large as some small towns, and its huge eyes, like lakes, stared down at Jianye Prefecture City, emanating a bloodthirsty, malevolent red glow.

"A Second Rank, Indestructible Realm demon, it arrived so quickly!"

"Our luck is too bad, among so many demons, there's a Second Rank, this is the end...!"

Hou Yujie and Hou Yucheng's faces turned pale, their vigor immediately diminished a lot. They looked at each other, both seeing a hint of despair in the other's eyes.

"There's hope, quickly summon the Red Flame Army!"

Hou Yuduan reacted the fastest, but no matter how quick, he couldn't be faster than the solo demon. The demon's giant legs suddenly lifted high, stomping down from the sky, and overwhelming demonic qi instantly spread in all directions for hundreds of miles.

If this foot landed, it's feared that a third of Jianye Prefecture City would turn to nothing in an instant.

At the critical moment

A towering staff suddenly cleaved from the sky from afar

"Beast, how dare you run rampant here!"

Hearing this voice, the more than three million people in Jianye Prefecture City, whether civilians or soldiers, immediately filled with joy on their faces.

However, Hou Yucheng, Hou Yuling, Hou Yujie, and Hou Yuduan were somewhat different from them. The joy in the eyes of the four broke out the first time, but it only lasted a moment before turning into indescribable complexity and entanglement...
