Chapter 1012 - He's Back!

"M-Meixiu! Look at that! She looks just like you!" Chu Liuxiang exclaimed as she pointed to the mature woman in the spectators' room.

However, Meixiu was too stumped to even respond to her.

'S-She's pregnant? With my face? Are the heavens making fun of me? Are you trying to tell me something?' Meixiu couldn't believe her eyes.

Just the other day, her mother was pressuring her to have a baby with Yuan and now this. If this wasn't a sign from the gods, what would be?

"During the last Stairway to Heaven, there was somebody with your face." Feng Yuxiang suddenly said as she looked at Chu Liuxiang.

"I remember…" She sighed.

And she continued, "Why is the Stairway to Heaven using our faces, anyway? It seems a bit odd and random."

"I can only assume that it's trying to stir with the Young Master's emotions by including people that he cares about into the trials." Feng Yuxiang shrugged.

"But why a pregnant woman…?' Meixiu shook her head with a bittersweet smile on her face.

"But you have to admit, it looks very authentic. I wonder if that's what you will look like in ten years." Li Jinxi said.

Meanwhile, Yuan returned to the peak of the pagoda, where he tried to learn the technique inside the secret room.

However, the image of Meixiu kept on appearing inside his head, thwarting his focus on the technique.

'This technique is very profound. It should be at least Ancient-rank, but this means that it will take longer for me to comprehend, and this distraction is not helping. Hopefully, I will be able to learn it before the next invasion.'

After three hours of peace, the general of the army returned.

"City Lord! I have an emergency report! There is an army of 100,000 soldiers approaching our city from the East and the West! They will arrive in 8 hours!"

"A hundred thousand…?" Yuan could feel his heart dropping after hearing such a report.

Compared to the last invasion, this one was on a whole other level.

However, he managed to keep his composure and said, "I understand. I will call you when I am ready. Do not disturb me before then no matter what. I will be entering closed door cultivation now."

"Yes!" The general disappeared shortly after.

'Eight hours… Will I be able to do it?' He sighed inwardly.

'No… I have to do it!'

After taking a deep breath, Yuan closed his eyes and cleared his head of all unnecessary thoughts.

Once he could focus on the technique, he started reciting the scripture inside his head.

Many hours later—

"Where is the City Lord?! The intruders are less than an hour away from the city!"

The soldiers approached the general and asked.

"The City Lord is currently in closed door cultivation. He will appear when the time is right."

"Even if you say that… Our opponents this time have nearly 100 times our number… And they're attacking us from two sides. Even if he's the God of War who hasn't lost a single battle in his life, there is always a first for anything. Perhaps today is the day that the God of War experiences defeat…"

"What kind of nonsense is that?! Have faith in the God of War! How many years have we followed him?! How many times did we enter battle thinking that it was an impossible fight?! How many times has he managed to surprise us?! This time will be no different! Even if we're fighting against a million soldiers, we will be victorious and remain undefeated!"

"I really hope that will be the case…"

The soldiers there sighed.

Despite the general's words, they couldn't help but fear the worst. After all, they had to fight an army of 100,000 soldiers while only having a little over 1,000 soldiers themselves.

Half an hour later, the general received another report from the scout.

"General! The enemy will reach the city walls in 15 minutes! What are your orders?!"

The general turned to look at the tall pagoda that stood proudly in the center of the city and said, "We wait for the City Lord. We will not move until we receive his order, even if the entire city is burned to the ground."

"What?! That's outrageous!"

"If you want to fight the army by yourself, you are free to do so! However, I will wait for the City Lord!"

The soldiers there looked at each other with perplexed looks on their faces, feeling conflicted.

They wanted to trust their general and the City Lord, but by doing so, they risked letting the enemy destroy the city.

However, once they thought about it, they realized that they were doomed without the City Lord, so they had no choice but to wait.

Meanwhile, two different armies with 50,000 soldiers each quickly approached the City of Xian.

"I see the city walls! The so-called 'unconquerable city' shall be conquered by my Red Lion Army today! Ahahaha!" One of the generals laughed out loud as they got closer to the city.

Inside the City of Xian, its tiny army began panicking for real when they could see the Red Lion Army closing in.

"Is the City Lord still not here?! We're doomed!"

"Damn it! I thought I would die on a fierce battlefield! This may be fierce, but this isn't a battlefield! This is a freaking slaughterhouse!"

Unbeknownst to these soldiers and even the spectators in the spectators' room, an announcement was hovering in the sky for all players to see.

Due to how long Cultivation Online has been out, announcements these days were very rare. Although there was still a lot to be discovered in Spirit Heaven, most of the players did not have the capability to explore this vast land.

"L-Look at the announcement! He's back!" The players exclaimed in excitement when they saw the name in the announcement.

<Player Yuan has become the world's first player to have learned a Mythic-rank Skill! Congratulations!>
