Chapter 72 The Day of the Flock of Crows
The extremely mysterious three rings.

The huge portal leading directly to the spiritual world is magnificent and solemn. There is a roar coming from far away, and the rails laid from the gate of the spiritual world to the third ring are shaking slightly.

As time passed, an old steam train drove out from the gate to the spirit world. The roar gradually approached and then faded away. With the last roar of steam, the train arrived at the station.

A middle-aged man in elegant clothes, surrounded by many followers, walked down from the steam train. He took off his hat and smiled at the people who came to greet him:
"The Great City is under blockade. I originally thought I would have to fight my way back home, but I didn't expect your city would still be willing to let me come."

"How can we turn away His Excellency the Duke when he comes to visit?" the receptionist said with a smile.

Meng Tu smiled and nodded, his eyes looking through the fog barrier that enveloped the entire inner three rings, gazing at the huge space-time rift that reached up to the sky, his gaze deep.

Following the Master's orders, he had arrived at the Great City.

Suddenly, a few crows flew overhead.

"Huh? When did you have crows in the Third Ring Road?" Meng Tu smiled and said casually, "I didn't see any last time I came here."

"Well, to be honest, I haven't noticed this. I'll have someone check it out and report to you, Your Excellency the Duke."

"Haha, Your Excellency is joking."

Meng Tu responded politely and couldn't help but look at the crow twice more.

………………

"Where do all these crows come from?"

The graceful woman was wearing a sacrificial dress, with her long hair casually draped but not messy. She stared at the flock of crows and frowned slightly:
“That’s not a good sign.”

An old man appeared silently beside him:
"City Lord, he's awake."

"Who?"

"The Sixth Prince, the Sixth Prince who survived the fall into the warp."

The woman looked serious:
"Let's go back one ring."

Before leaving, she glanced at the crows that were gradually increasing in number and shook her head slightly.

………………

"All preparations for the ceremony have been completed."

Dean Colossus gently shook the red wine glass in his hand.

"We are also ready for God's coming."

The orphanage director smiled and spoke, and the two gray-haired old men clinked their glasses and drank.

"As long as tomorrow's ceremony goes smoothly, and as long as there are no accidents in the next few days, the day of God's descent will soon arrive, and that..."

"It is also the day you become a god."

The orphanage director blinked and said:
"Congratulations in advance on the birth of a new god."

Dean Colossus shook his head:
"What kind of god is a false god?"

"False gods are also gods."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Let me share some information with you." The orphanage director drank the wine in the glass and spoke slowly:
"The wooden box, the wooden box that your college has been looking for, is in Chen Xiang's hands."

"Ok?"

Dean Colossus had a strange look on his face, his eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't mention the fishing incident after all, but he just said, intentionally or unintentionally:

"Don't think about the wooden box these days. Wait until the gods descend to avoid any trouble."

As he spoke, he also drank the wine in the glass, and then suddenly realized something and looked out the window:

"Is that a crow?"

"Why are there so many crows?"

The orphanage followed his gaze and saw a large group of black crows circling and flying in the sky towards the great city.

"I'll also share some information with you."

The orphanage director trembled slightly:

"That's not a crow, it's a symbol!"

"What symbol?" Dean Colossus asked in surprise.

"A symbol of terror to come!"

The orphanage director bowed respectfully towards the crows in the distance:
"It turns out that He really has come. He will come to this city. The crows have already appeared. He may come after sunset. I suggest you perform the ritual in advance and perfect the container."

"Okay, I'll send someone to the Seventh Ring Road to call Chen Xiang back, but..."

Dean Colossus asked in a deep voice:

"Who is this 'He' you are talking about? Why are you here?"

The orphanage director did not answer directly, but crawled towards the crows in the distance.

………………

Seventh Ring, Factory.

"Li Dongyun, his reputation is well-deserved!"

Amid the rolling air waves, Zhong Chengfu took a few steps back and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Li Dongyun was not doing well either. The injuries he received from the fight with the madman a few days ago had not yet fully healed, and now he was injured again and was also coughing up blood.

He spat out a mouthful of blood foam, his expression slightly condensed:

"Old Zhong, is this not going to end peacefully today?"

Zhong Chengfu took off his black cloak and pointed at Chen Shaoyan:
"I must take her away. Our new chairman specifically requested her. Li Dongyun, please don't embarrass me. If you really want to talk, go talk to our chairman."

Li Dongyun frowned and panted slightly. Chen Shaoyan, who had been silent all this time, stepped forward:
"I'll go with you." "Little Shaoyan!" Li Dongyun scolded, "Don't mess around!"

Chen Shaoyan clenched his fist:

"Master, I beg you to do me a favor. Save Chen Xin. In the future, Xiao Xin and Xiao Xiang will not be left without your care."

She knew clearly that today would not end peacefully. The development of the matter was far beyond her expectations. Qihuan Construction, contrary to its usual behavior, actually chose to confront the leader head-on.

Although the sect leader is very powerful, he is no match for the Seven Rings Construction.

Li Dongyun's expression gradually darkened. He stared at the smiling Zhong Chengfu and spoke coldly:
"Where is your new chairman? I want to talk to him!"

Zhong Chengfu's eyes flickered slightly, and his smile widened as he put on his black cloak again:
"Master Li, are you really going? For the sake of our old acquaintance, I have to remind you that the new chairman is difficult to talk to and might attack you directly."

Li Dongyun raised his eyelids and spoke in a low voice:
"Really? Then I really want to meet him."

As he was talking, the roar of engines of dozens of hovercrafts came from the sky. Zhong Chengfu looked up, a little surprised, and then smiled and said:

“No need, the chairman seems to be here.”

"Old Li, I suggest you run, just run."

Li Dongyun didn't say anything, his hair stood on end. Chen Shaoyan's heart was beating violently as he stared at the dozens of hovercrafts in the sky.

She was a little desperate. The reaction of the Construction Group was so intense that even the top leaders chose to step in!

The owner of this huge monster that dominates the entire Seventh Ring is about to arrive.
Chen Shaoyan closed his eyes, sighed slightly, and was ready to die.

Or rather, she had been prepared for this on the first day she joined Fire Gate a few years ago.

Dozens of floating vehicles were crushed down, and the roar of their engines was deafening.
One by one, the group members dressed in black got off the cars and bowed their heads towards the slowest hovercraft that was still slowly descending from the sky.

Chen Shaoyan's palms were sweating and his heart was beating faster and faster.

"Why such a big battle?"

Zhong Chengfu murmured in his heart, feeling that something was wrong, but he did not think much about it. He believed that Shi Quan had done a very successful job in angering the airborne guy and even making him come in person.

If, if Li Dongyun is angered again, and Li Dongyun accidentally kills the new chairman
Zhong Chengfu's smile grew, and he finally said:

"Since Sect Master Li has not left, he can't leave now. Maybe he can kneel down and crawl, and there is still a way to survive."

"Kneel, crawl"

Li Dongyun did not get angry but laughed instead. His sturdy body straightened slightly, and terrifying power accumulated. The True God Factors around him also began to riot.

The door of the hovercraft in the sky slowly opened, and everyone's eyes were focused on it.

The next moment.

A figure jumped down from it, dragging a wave of air like a meteor, and fell down with a bang!

"I have seen it. Huh?"

Zhong Chengfu found something wrong. The direction where the meteor fell was... himself? ?

He wanted to dodge belatedly, but was shocked to find that a strong, terrifying aura had locked onto him. Everything happened in a flash, and the meteor had already arrived! !

Zhong Chengfu clearly felt the terrifying weight stepping on his back, and his spine was instantly shattered.
Along with the huge smoke and dust left by the meteor-like figure, he was knocked into the ground. A huge force exploded at this moment, and his internal organs cracked. He was dying in an instant!
The strong wind caused by the shock wave spread in all directions, and Chen Shaoyan couldn't help but close his eyes.

All this happened so fast that almost no one could see the details clearly. All they saw was a blurry figure falling like a meteor, and then smoke and dust filled the sky, and the ground cracked! !
In the huge smoke and dust, everyone was choking and coughing, except Li Dongyun.

He stared at the place where the smoke and dust rose, his eyes dull.

Li Dongyun is the only one who sees everything clearly.

But he felt that he must have been wrong.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the young man stepped on the dying Zhong Chengfu and raised his head slightly.

“Chairman!!”

Hundreds of voices rang out at the same time, deafening.

Chen Shaoyan stared at the familiar figure in front of him, and emotions such as confusion, astonishment, and trance came over him.

"small"

"Little brother?"

She murmured and rubbed her eyes.

The unpleasant and shrill cry of crows was heard from the sky.

………………

The orphanage director crawled on the ground, heading towards where the crows were flocking. That was in the Seventh Ring, and seemed to be the direction of the Seventh Ring Governing Office.

He finally replied:

"He is a terror, a legend, and a taboo."

"He is the deepest fear of reality."

“He is the watcher in the wheat fields and the one who looks down from the hilltops.”

Dean Colossus's hair stood on end, the back of his head felt numb, and he uttered a voice that sounded almost like a dream:
"you are right."

"scarecrow?"

“Yes, it is He, and He is coming!”

In the distance, a flock of crows from the direction of the Seven Rings Governorate suddenly swooped down as if they saw their prey.

It was still noon, but the sky was getting dark.
