“how big is the scale?”


    due to his strength, ling kun was leading the posthumous people with neal and hong xiang supporting.


    “very big.” zai li pointed, “i am not sure how many, but anyway, they cover the plains, the high mountains, and the rivers.”


    “i think they are going all out.”


    zai li’s words made everyone speechless.


    be it ye zhongming, the saintess, or the kings who had lived for many years, all of them were shocked by those numbers.


    numerous!


    so many that they couldn’t count!


    beside ye zhongming were xia lei and the others who had seen zombies surround the city. millions of them pushed cloud peak to the edge, and they were nearly broken.


    that nearly happened even when they relied on the city walls to defend.


    one must know that there were only a few million. although there weren’t many human evolved, there were still more than six digits. that didn’t include the hundreds of thousands of posthumous people warriors that joined in.


    also, there were very few mutated zombies that could fly. cloud peak didn’t face many air threats during that siege.


    but things were different now. air troops occupied 20% of the demon monsters. without the city walls, there was no way the imperial city could defend.


    “actually, we have fully battled against the demon monsters before. but we had many experts, more than the demon monsters. we had the same amount or even more level nine experts, but now...”


    zaili sat down, defeated. “that level nine monster... came.”


    everyone went silent again, and they knew what that meant.


    posthumous people and saint light hall were considered humans before and at least had a level nine saint father. even when saint father forced red hair into the cursed abyss, that level-nine monster only showed itself.


    ye zhongming lowered his head slightly and smiled.


    he knew what it was. he believed that the kings also guessed what she was going to say. but ling kun still asked. it seemed like both sides stood on the same ground.


    “before they come, all of us move to earth, and then... shut the space gate and give up on this place.”


    her words didn’t surprise ye zhongming at all.


    could posthumous people, saint light hall, and cloud peak fight them? the answer was obvious. they stood no chance.


    so they couldn’t fight and could only escape. but where to?


    even if there was a place, what if the demon monster army chased? taking a step back, even if they didn’t chase, the secret realm would collapse in an uncertain time.


    since that was the case, since they had a plan to move to earth, why not bring that forward? although it was rushed and many people wouldn’t be able to leave, most people could. that was better than people staying here and waiting to die.


    be it posthumous people or saint light hall, this was the best way. it was just a matter of timing.


    this was also what benefitted them the most.


    but it was bad for cloud peak.


    why did cloud peak help the posthumous people? why are they helping them to move to earth? wasn’t it to turn the secret realm into their back graden? wasn’t it to turn this into their resource base?


    but if they used this method and everyone left, they would lose connection to the secret realm. all they had done would go to waste. would ye zhongming dare to use the key again? what if the level nine monster didn’t leave?


    ye zhongming smiled coldly because of that.


    “this idea...”


    “i don’t agree.”
