However, Zhou Huai, who had directly self-destructed Gandalf's Clone, did not know what happened later on the airship.

After confirming that Gandalf's resurrection countdown had begun, his thoughts completely shifted to the impending beast tide in Donghai City.

Opening his eyes, he looked at Ye Zhentian, who stood not far away with a complex expression.

"Uncle Ye, there's something I'd like to ask of you."

Ye Zhentian had witnessed the determination of all members of the Eternal Night Guild.

He had heard Zhou Huai's speech and felt the tragic heroism of 'though a myriad of men stand against me, I shall go forth'.

At this moment, he held Zhou Huai, this young man he had once looked down upon, in high esteem.

The others did not know how terrifying the approaching beast tide would be.

Perhaps they were just full of passion, belonging to the 'ignorance is bliss' type.

But Zhou Huai and his Eternal Night Guild were different.

Ye Zhentian could tell that they were well aware of what they were about to face.

It was a Hell-like predicament, enough to wipe an entire city off the map.

Yet, they still chose to stay.

This kind of courage, knowing there was a tiger in the mountain yet still heading towards it, was even more admirable.

Ye Zhentian reined in the shock in his heart and nodded solemnly.

"Zhou Huai, speak your mind. As long as my Ye family can help, we will do our utmost!"

Zhou Huai's face showed a hint of a smile.

"I wouldn't dare to give orders. I just want to ask you to use the Ye family's influence to organize the evacuation of ordinary residents in the city through this teleportation array."

He paused, then continued, "If Donghai City truly cannot be defended, I still hope there can be more survivors."

"You don't need to worry about energy; I have plenty of magic crystals here."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhentian's expression became exceptionally serious.

He looked at Zhou Huai, and for the first time, his stern face showed sincere respect.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this! I'll organize people now to arrange for Donghai City residents to enter the teleportation array!"

Zhou Huai nodded and said softly, "Thank you, Uncle Ye."

Ye Zhentian, however, waved his hand grandly, a complex smile on his face.

"No need to be so formal. Compared to what you all are doing, what I do is not worth mentioning."

He sighed, filled with emotion.

"That girl Xi'er truly didn't misjudge you."

Ye Zhentian seemed to recall something, and his gaze became distant.

"When she heard the news that you had 'died,' she locked herself in her room and didn't eat or drink for several days straight."

"When she finally came out of her room, I felt... her whole person had changed."

"This time, you must survive. If Xi'er knew you were still alive, she would be very happy."

Zhou Huai's heart felt as if it had been gently touched by something.

He nodded heavily.

"I will."

Afterward, he said no more, instructing Butler Fu to push him back to the guild base.

The moment he got into the car, Zhou Huai closed his eyes.

His consciousness instantly transferred to Moria.

In the courtyard, Moria's figure quietly appeared. He leaped, landing steadily on Demon Dragon Xiao Hei's broad back.

"Let's go to the East City Wall."

Roar—!

Little Black let out a low Dragon roar, its wings flapped fiercely, and its massive body soared into the sky, transforming into a black lightning bolt, rapidly flying towards the east gate of Donghai City.

Donghai City had four city walls.

However, the south side faced the sea, so the probability of a large-scale beast attack from this direction was low.

While the west and north sides would also encounter beast tides, the pressure would usually be much less than on the east side.

The east side, backed by continuous mountain ranges and vast wilderness, was where the Secret Realm ruins were located.

This would be the main direction of the beast tide's attack.

In every previous beast tide, the first and most violent wave of attacks always started from the east gate.

If they couldn't withstand the first wave, the entire Donghai City would be razed to the ground by the beast tide with overwhelming force.

To resist this wave of attack, Zhou Huai was prepared to use all his trump cards without hesitation.

Soon, Little Black had already flown above the East City Gate.

Zhou Huai looked down. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The majestic city wall, stretching for thousands of meters and a hundred meters high, was already packed with dense figures.

Countless professionals, armed with weapons, stood solemnly, ready for battle.

In their eyes, there was nervousness, fear, but more than that, a resolute determination to protect their home.

When Little Black's massive figure appeared in the sky, everyone on the city wall instinctively looked up.

They saw the ferocious giant Dragon circling high above and were all deeply shocked.

"It's a Dragon! It's actually a Black Dragon!"

"Does our Donghai City have a second Dragon Rider?"

A stir went through the crowd, and everyone's gaze, by coincidence, turned to the center of the city wall, to a handsome young man riding on the back of a Silver Dragon.

It was Li Qiu of the Tianyu Guild.

They had originally thought he was the only Dragon Rider in Donghai City.

Unexpectedly, another one appeared today.

However, when they looked closely, they noticed something was amiss.

"Wait, look at the aura of that Black Dragon... it seems even more terrifying than Guild Leader Li Qiu's Silver Dragon!"

"Exactly! Although the Black Dragon appears slightly smaller than the Silver Dragon in terms of size, the pressure it emits is simply suffocating!"

Li Qiu felt this most deeply.

The moment the Black Dragon appeared, the Silver Dragon beneath him began to emit uneasy, low growls, its massive body trembling {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} uncontrollably.

It was a fear and submission to a higher-ranking existence, originating from the depths of its Bloodline!

Li Qiu's face turned somewhat grim.

He tried to comfort his companion, but it was completely futile.

Until the Black Dragon in the sky seemed a bit impatient and let out a high-pitched, clear Dragon roar!

Roar—!!!

That Dragon roar contained an unquestionable, supreme majesty!

The Silver Dragon beneath Li Qiu could no longer bear this terrifying Dragon might. With a cry of distress, it flapped its wings and quickly descended from the city wall.

It landed heavily on the ground, its huge head bowed deeply, assuming a posture of submission.

No matter how Li Qiu on its back called or urged, it remained unresponsive, simply cowering on the ground, trembling.

"This..."

Everyone on the city wall gasped when they saw this scene.

Li Qiu's face turned even paler.

He suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the silver-haired figure in the sky.

His eyes first showed surprise, then were filled with apprehension and shock.

Li Qiu recognized the other party.

This was the mysterious person who had forcibly abducted Luo Ming that night, leading him and Yasuo into a duel!

Later, according to Guild Leader Sun Tian's deduction, this mysterious person was also a member of the Eternal Night Guild.

"Eternal Night Guild..."

Li Qiu looked at the figure in the sky, silently clenching his fists, then released them powerlessly.

He had lost to Yasuo last time and wasn't entirely convinced.

He had always thought of finding an opportunity to get even.

Now, that idea was completely out the window.

Not only did the Eternal Night Guild also have a Dragon, but it was even more terrifying than his own. With just one encounter, his carefully cultivated Silver Dragon had surrendered.

What was the point of getting even now?

Just as everyone was shocked by the terrifying aura displayed by the Black Dragon, an experienced veteran professional in the crowd, as if discovering something incredible, suddenly widened his eyes.

He stretched out a trembling hand, pointing at Little Black in the sky, and let out a shriek of terror.

"That... that Black Dragon... is... is a Hell-level BOSS!!!"

What?!

A Hell-level BOSS?!

As soon as these words were uttered, the entire city wall instantly erupted!

"What a joke! A Hell-level BOSS? How is this possible?!"

"Someone can actually ride a Hell-level BOSS as a mount? This guy... who exactly is this guy?!"

"This is too outrageous! This has completely exceeded my understanding!"

For a time, discussions on the city wall rose and fell, and everyone looked up at the figure in the sky with eyes as if looking at a monster.

This was Demon Dragon Xiao Hei's first appearance in front of so many people.

The effect was outstanding.

Just then, some members of the Eternal Night Guild who had just arrived at the East City Gate from the Ye family listened to the surrounding exclamations and discussions, their faces showing expressions of immense pride and confidence.

A young member straightened his chest and said loudly, in an almost boastful tone, "That's right! That's a Hell-level BOSS! And the one riding it is our Lord of the Eternal Night Guild!"
