The thick dark cloud split in half as a sonic wave came from the distance, like a tsunami pouring into the basin and the mining town.

The people who were fleeing for their lives immediately covered their ears. The warehouses built with metal sheets collapsed under the powerful vibrations of the sonic wave, even though it was mainly directed at the Manta Ray Evil Birds in the sky and not the town.

The special frequency of the cry struck the heads of the Manta Ray Evil Birds as if a strong pulse of energy had just exploded close to them. The Manta Ray Evil Birds who had invaded the town started falling from the sky, like planes that had completely lost power!

Their wings were fully extended, yet they were no longer flying. The Manta Ray Evil Birds smashed into the buildings, leaving the town in a complete mess. Blood and gore scattered all over the place!

The powerful cry echoed in the sky once again. When the people lifted their eyes, they were able to see a figure with jagged wings in the sky above the town. The sacred moonlight shining on it reflected back an eerie red. It was like an evil meteor when it soared across the sky, with an otherworldly, icy aura!

Cool!

The same word appeared in Mo Fan’s mind when he saw Evil Star again!

“Isn’t that those creatures’ boss!?” Zhao Manyan exclaimed when he saw Evil Star flying past.

It was obvious that little Moon Moth Phoenix had healed Evil Star of its injuries. The Bird Emperor must have noticed its ungrateful descendants were stirring up trouble in the mining town. It came straight away with little Moon Moth Phoenix acting as guide.

Evil Star had already reached the edge of the town. Meanwhile, more Manta Ray Evil Birds had recovered from the anesthesia. They were flying toward the town in flocks, but now they had stumbled into their emperor along the way. Evil Star’s aura was even stronger after it had broken free from the chain. Its cold eyes glared at the Manta Ray Evil Birds. The demon birds did not dare to cause a scene…

“Why are they afraid of it now?” Zhao Manyan asked with a confused look.

“Evil Star was on the brink of death before, so they took the chance to rebel against it. However, these creatures became afraid as soon as their emperor has recovered. Didn’t you see? Evil Star’s cry can force them to crash! I believe Evil Star couldn’t use the ability when it was severely injured,” Mo Fan deduced.

“The people of the town are extremely lucky then! If Evil Star hadn’t shown up, there’s no way of telling how many people were going to die…” Zhao Manyan murmured.

Mu Bai and Tangyue were relieved when they saw Evil Star had blocked the Manta Ray Evil Birds outside Honglai Town. However, after a loud cry, the Manta Ray Evil Birds that were circling in the sky uttered unpleasant cries and flew toward the town again!

“What’s going on? Why are they attacking the city now!?” Zhao Manyan yelled.

Mo Fan looked up and saw the Manta Ray Evil Birds were no longer flying in a disorderly fashion. They had lined up and formed a veil in the sky, heading toward the back end of the town under the Bird Emperor’s lead.

The back of the town was mostly a storage area for the valuable silver ores. The trucks, carrying loads of silver ore, were currently on the move. Some of the people tried to jump onto the trucks to leave the town with them, but they were forced away instead.

“Quick, we are leaving as soon as we fill the trucks!” Councilman Nan yelled.

“Councilman Nan, they…they seem to be heading toward us…” Major General Cai Dong spoke up hesitantly.

“Damn it, why are they targeting us when there are so many people in town…” Councilman Nan cursed loudly… and that’s when he suddenly noticed a dark red creature leading the army of the Manta Ray Evil Birds.

“It’s…it’s the Bird Emperor, Evil Star!” Chen Wen recognized the creature at first glance. His face was filled with terror.

Councilman Nan’s eyes widened too. It was their first time seeing the Bird Emperor not tied down by chains. Councilman Nan could feel its wrath about to pour down from the sky as he recalled how they had tortured the Bird Emperor over the years!

It had come to seek revenge!

Councilman Nan’s expression shifted as he started yelling in panic, “Protect me, protect me!”

There were a few hundred Honglai Mages around the trucks. They were shivering as they witnessed the overwhelming number of demon birds in the sky.

Tangyue came out of nowhere and yelled at the Honglai Mages, “They are after Councilman Nan! The rest of you should stay away if you don’t want to die!”

The Mages were not blind. The creatures had obviously ignored the rest of the people in the town and were headed straight for Councilman Nan. They clearly held a grudge against him, especially the leader in front of them. Its gaze could almost penetrate right through Councilman Nan!

“I’m paying you to protect me! Assh****, you assh****!” Councilman Nan cursed when he saw the Honglai Mages not bothering to lend a hand.

It was not like they could not tell whether money or life was more important. The swarm of Manta Ray Evil Birds was just too terrifying. Ordinary people could not possibly find the courage to resist them, especially when the bird demons were pouring down like a wild storm. Most of the Honglai Mages chose to flee for their lives instead!

The Manta Ray Evil Birds were heading for Councilman Nan, just as Tangyue had mentioned. They were not interested in the others at all.

The demon birds trapped Councilman Nan, Cai Dong, and Chen Wen on the street. Their only company was the trucks loaded with silver ore, now missing their drivers.

Their range of vision was less than fifty meters when the cloud of birds surrounded them, mainly because the Manta Ray Evil Birds had left them with some space instead of attacking them right away. The three trembled in fear. Chen Wen even fell to the ground with bloodshot eyes that were wide with fear!
