The sudden great changes spread fright and panic among the people.

“Miss Lily, go to Shangri-La Inn and look for the bartender John. You just have to say that it’s Yuri that recommended you, and you will surely be able to become his assistant with your skill.” Yang Ling left several Crystal Coins and left with big strides. He rushed toward Wissen Castle, which was in the vicinity.

Those destructive Energy Ripples were too terrible, and they brought with them a terrifying, berserk, ice-cold, and bloodthirsty aura. It was like a viper intertwining around the people’s hearts, and Yang Ling got a bad feeling about this. He recalled the Church’s unusual actions in the last period, and he got quite restless due to this.

Did a large group of Alien Plane’s demons intrude into Tailun Continent?

Yang Ling looked at the direction where the Energy Ripples spread from, and he observed the boundless sea. His heart sank further. Most of the Magical Beast Territory was near the sea area, and if the demons launched an attack from the sea, the consequences would be too horrible to imagine. His domain was too close to the coastline, and he couldn’t manage it completely at the same time.

“Mr. Yuri?” Lily muttered and stroked the several Crystal Coins in confusion.

After the Magical Beast Territory expanded quickly, Shangri-La Inn turned from an ordinary inn to Wissen Town’s symbolic building, and it had many villas arranged irregularly, which gave it a great charm. It was the continent’s most expensive and most tasteful inn. The people who would enter it were either great merchants or great nobles, and even ordinary nobles couldn’t get in it, let alone common people.

This was why working in Shangri-La Inn become a dream of most people, and even if a waiter position wasn’t open and just floor cleaning job was open, many people would still rush there to join the inn.

Lily had studied drink mixing with her father, and she knew the best way to make all kinds of fine liquors. She knew how to make a drink that conformed to nobles’ taste and esthetics. But, she still never aspired in vain to become a bartender of the famous Shangri-La Inn, and her greatest wish was getting a stable job that would help her support herself and her two children.

She didn’t know Yang Ling’s status, and she had never heard about any Yuri. But, she still knew clearly that common people couldn’t enter Shangri-La Inn, and she hoped that Yang Ling really brought her a gleam of hope. However, she was worried that this was just a farce, and she was worried that she would become a laughingstock again. In the past, she went to various inns with children on her back to look for a job as a bartender. Many people mocked her and looked at her with supercilious gazes.

“Miss Lily, I’m Arkas. Let’s go. I can bring you into Shangri-La. I’m quite close to that lad John, and since the lord…Mr. Yuri gave him instructions, you will surely become an outstanding bartender, and you will get everything you desire.” The embarrassed Arkas looked at Yang Ling that left with big strides and at the hesitant Lily. He came up with a way to atone for his mistakes by meritorious acts.

“Mr. Arkas, thank you.” When Lily saw the standard armor worn by Arkas, she heaved a sigh of relief. If an officer in charge of the city defense provided her help, she would set her mind at ease. She realized that what Yang Ling stated before leaving wasn’t a joke, and she started trying to fathom Yang Ling’s true identity while she walked.

After Yang Ling went back to Wissen Castle, he quickly convened everyone to discuss official business.

“Your lordship, this is the picture sent back by the Illusory Crystal in the coastline.” Goode wore a grave look, and he lifted the black cloth atop the miniature Magical Formation Spell. Shocking images immediately appeared on the crystal ball.

Many giants waves arose in the ocean as if it was boiling, and hundred-meter-tall giant waves rushed at the beach crazily. They swallowed everything near the sea, and this included tall houses, great ships filled with goods, frightened fishermen, and sailors. They were all instantly drowned by the boundless sea waves!

“Did we get info about Salerno Port’s casualties?” When Yang Ling saw the shocking sight on the crystal ball, his expression turned ice-cold.

“According to the preliminary statistics, around 5,000 people had already gone missing for now. General Ashnamov rushed toward Salerno Port with his soldiers, and he instructed the spellcasters to use Earth Wall to block the devastating sea waves. But, the situation is still gradually going out of control.” Goode muttered several incantations, and the scene in the crystal ball changed. A large group of spellcasters appeared in it, and they raised large Earth Wall next to Salerno Port that blocked the terrifying giant waves, while innumerable soldiers bustled around.

“We still didn’t get info about Jaboli City’s loss, but all of the city’s spellcasters went to the frontline, and they did their utmost to block the sea waves,” Yuna reported Jaboli City’s situation before she recited several incantations. The scene in the crystal ball changed again, and Jaboli City’s situation appeared in it.

“Jaboli City didn’t suffer great loss because they responded quickly, but…” Yuna was quite worried, and she muttered to herself for a moment before she said, “According to the report of several Sea Clan’s warriors, many strange matters occurred in the Sea Clan’s land recently, and many Sea Tribe disappeared in an inexplicable way. Some of them were slaughtered completely, and even the elderly and children weren’t spared. There were still some sea tribes that traveled for ten thousand miles to approach the Demon Island.”

Demon Island?

Could it be that those great changes weren’t due to the Church’s conspiracy, but the Demon Island?

Yang Ling furrowed his brows. The ominous fame of the Sea Demons that occupied the Demon Island spread far away, and many strong thousand-year-old monsters were there. Many Sea Clan’s members were angry, but they didn’t dare to express their anger at them, and the terror of the Sea Demons could be discerned from this.

“Pass down an order to impose martial law in the whole Magical Beast Territory, and order the Gold Coast’s duchies to make good preparations.” Yang Ling passed down an order in a deep voice and made plans for the worst situation possible. “Dispatch a large number of scouts to supervise the Sea Clan’s activities, and if anything occurred, they should report it promptly.”

Even though the danger came from the boundless sea, Yang Ling still felt for an unknown reason that this crisis was related to the Church. He still couldn’t forget the Pope’s gaze that was filled with hatred. The Tibetan Mountain’s Holy Light Magical Formation Spell stopped working suddenly, and a large-scale plague broke out in the Holy Alliance, while a great tsunami occurred. Those were matters that would occur one time every few thousand years, yet they had occurred at the same time. This was surely not a coincidence!

Different situations would call for different actions and measures!

After Yang Ling instructed the crowd to take action, he snatched time to strengthen all lands’ defense, and he set up Restriction Spells in all strategic regions, and this was especially the case in the Magical Beast Territory’s core region, Wissen Castle. He set up layer upon layer of Restriction Spells and took strict precautions against enemies’ surprise attack. Meanwhile, he still instructed the Corpse Wizard King, Dark Dragon King, and others to practice the Soul Wizard Spell so that they could quickly master the Telepathy Spell. He hoped that they could grasp the Mighty Beasts Domain early!

The Magical Beast Army that had elite soldiers and a Magical Beast Corps with a large number of troops didn’t fear enemies that would use a large number of troops to attack. No matter how many ordinary Sea Tribe’s members came over, they would just die. But, if a group of God-Level Experts emerged suddenly, they would get great trouble.

For the past thousand years, the Demon Island attracted many people of the same king, and they assembled together. There was an unknown number of terrifying old monsters accustomed to running amok on the sea in the island, and this was why Yang Ling was forced to make plans for the worst situation possible as a precaution.

After Yang Ling had made appropriate preparations, he sat cross-legged on the Great Wizard Altar to train, and he awaited the imminent storm calmly. One shouldn’t change to cope with changes!

“Soul Divination!” Yang Ling read in silence a Wizard Mantra and threw carefully selected beast bones after he shouted. Soon after, he opened his eyes again to take a look. But, it was a pity that the beast bones didn’t change.

In ancient times, divination was Soul Wizards’ greatest secret, and it was also their greatest skill. They could, in a sense, foresee future events, and they would solve many terrible crises for their tribe. The greater the Wizard Power and the stronger the soul, the more accurate and detailed the divination. It was rumored that some Ancient Wizards that trained to the peak could predict accurately what would occur in several thousand or several tens of thousand years, but this was at the cost of burning their souls.

Yang Ling got a restless feeling, and he recalled the Divination Wizard Spell recorded on the stele. But, it was a pity that he didn’t get any results even after repeatedly trying for a long time. It was unknown whether the reason behind it was that he lacked enough power or something else.

A person’s success depended mainly on his efforts, but one still couldn’t deny that some matters needed talent, and it was the same for Poison Wizardry. Yang Ling found training in Poison Wizardry more strenuous than practicing Soul Wizard Spells, yet the lassie Alice managed to learn it smoothly without a teacher. She progressed with leaps and bounds every day, but when he asked her to practice Warrior Wizardry or Soul Wizard Spells, she yielded scant results, and she would usually train strenuously for a dozen or more days without making any progress.

After Yang Ling tried using the Divination Spell repeatedly for a long time without getting any results, he gave up for now. There were many Wizard Spells recorded on the stele, and if he had a thousand or ten thousand years, he was confident that he would comprehend them one by one. Mastering all Wizard Spells in a short time was obviously not realistic!

“What should come will come sooner or later, and it didn’t matter whether it’s the Church or the Demon Island. The most important matter is increasing my power.” Yang Ling raised his head to look at the thick black clouds before he concentrated on his training. He seized the moment to train!

A day, two days…

The black clouds in the sky became thicker and heavier, and they covered the sky and the sun. They foretold that a great storm was on the horizon.

After five days passed since the great tsunami had occurred, and in the early morning, the worried people were in slumberland, and even the patrolling soldiers’ guard was quite lax. However, when the world was in silence, a faintly discernible humming noise transmitted from the horizon, and it seemed like a gust of wind was blowing over, yet it also seemed like a naughty child on the beach was blowing a conch.

Soon after, many waves appeared suddenly in the Danube River, and they quickly advanced in it. When several wary city defense soldiers just detected something, they suffered deadly attacks before they managed to raise and blow the horn to report it. It could be seen that several sparkling drops shot out of Danube River, and they entered the spaces between the soldiers’ forehead before they came out from their heads and penetrated several big trees behind them.

More than dozens of seasoned sentinels fell down silently like so.

“An arrow formed with water drops. Is this a demon’s power?

Yang Ling that quickly discovered this incident with his powerful Divine Consciousness was shocked, and he quickly summoned the Corpse Wizard King, Dark Dragon King, and other high-level Magical Beasts. Soon after, he teleported next to the Guard Orlando and whispered several instructions next to his ear. Surprise appeared on Orlando’s face, and he held his sword as he left quickly.
