Chapter 1246: Lu Hai Kong's Arrival
November 15, 2027
Capital Military Camp, Chang'an.
Since the incident at the beginning of the year, the atmosphere in Chang'an had become noticeably tenser than before.
This was not because Dromar had tightened his grip on Chang'an over the past half a year. In fact, during this time, Dromar had rarely interfered with the governance of his subordinates.
In the past six months, Dromar had only focused on one thing: resurrecting Li Ru. Aside from this, Dromar had not engaged in any other matters and had delegated significant authority in governance.
Due to Dromar's delegation of authority, many of his subordinates had stepped up and taken the stage.
Although these individuals were under Dromar's Demon Aura, the combination of their rise and Dromar's delegation had led to considerable development in Chang'an within a short half-year. At the very least, the economy had improved significantly compared to half a year ago.
This was not because these subordinates were more capable than Li Ru, but rather, it was their status that allowed them to better mobilize the power of the Aristocratic Clans.
However, regardless of their efforts, at this moment, Chang'an was still shrouded under Dromar's Demon Aura.
The reason Dromar could delegate authority was that he dared to do so, possessing absolute confidence that no one could stir up trouble in the face of his overwhelming strength. The Black Demon Cavalry, which made the entire Chang'an's Commoners cautious even in their breathing, was the source of his confidence.
Li Ru's sacrifice had brought Dromar tremendous benefits. It not only completely solved the problem of the Demon Armament but also enhanced the strength of his warriors and transformed the 10,000 Western Plateau Cavalry into the new Black Demon Cavalry.
Although nearly 9,000 of the 10,000 Black Demon Cavalry were mindless war puppets, their fighting power was unquestionable.
One could say that Dromar before and after the incident were two entirely different levels of existence in terms of strength.
However, the only thing Dromar, now more powerful, wanted to do was to resurrect Li Ru. It was also because of Li Ru's unexpected demise that Dromar and his Black Demon Cavalry constantly emanated a terrifying aura, causing the Commoners of Chang'an to live in constant fear and caution.
However, today, the atmosphere in Chang'an was noticeably more relaxed. The immense pressure that had been hovering over the city dissipated, and those at Dromar's Manor could intuitively sense that Dromar was in an unusually good mood today.
His mood was undoubtedly accurate, for since obtaining the Elixir Formula from Lu Hai Kong, he had dedicated all his efforts to it for the past half a year.
After half a year, he had finally gathered all the ingredients listed in the formula and enlisted the help of a master-level pharmacist to refine the Elixir.
Everything had progressed smoothly, so it was no wonder Dromar's mood had improved significantly.
However, Dromar's good mood did not last long. When the master pharmacist emerged from the elixir chamber and met with Dromar, Dromar began to emanate a dark aura once more.
It was not that the Elixir had not been refined, but the pharmacist brought Dromar a message: the Elixir Formula was a fake or, more accurately, a failed product!
Upon hearing this news, Dromar experienced a crushing blow, like falling from heaven to hell in an instant. The dense dark aura that enveloped him spread like a storm, almost killing the master pharmacist on the spot!
In his rage, Dromar struggled to control his desire for carnage and refrained from immediately gathering his troops to march towards Luoyang City.
This person's patience wasn't due to fear of Lu Hai Kong, but because Lu Hai Kong had stated from the beginning that he couldn't save Li Ru. Even when he handed over the Elixir Formula, he repeatedly emphasized that Dromar shouldn't get his hopes up.
In terms of both emotion and reason, Dromar had no grounds to cause trouble for Lu Hai Kong.
"Good, good job Lu Hai Kong. You deceived me with a fake formula and expected me to pretend it was real. You are truly something else!"
The suppressed anger in his throat roared, and Dromar's overwhelming demonic aura, mixed with his rage, pierced through the clouds, once again enveloping Chang'an in his oppressive presence.
At that moment, in a tavern within Chang'an, a young man drinking alone felt the overwhelming demonic aura and a smile crept onto his face.
"Not bad, not bad at all. It seems I've arrived just in time. The timing is perfect, and it's about time I pay him a visit!"
As he spoke, the young man stood up and strode towards Dromar's Manor...
...
Ji Province, outside the Anping Defense Line, amidst a hundred thousand aberrant beasts.
The battle, incomprehensible to ordinary people, came to an abrupt end in an instant.
The originally formidable monster, with its overwhelming demonic aura, was defeated in the blink of an eye. The will that controlled the monster's body, though possessing immense power, remained motionless.
In fact, the will had been trapped the moment it took control of the monster's body, its spirit subdued by a fox that slowly emerged from the beast army.
It was clear from the start that the battle was never an even match; the monster had been outmaneuvered from the very beginning.
And now, with everything settled, the fox began to prepare for its feast.
The fox, charred black all over, approached the monster with graceful steps, but surprisingly, it directly attached itself to the monster's body.
A monster with a hideous skeletal structure and a fox, charred black and disheveled, were now stuck together.
Then, a stream of black aura was drawn out from the monster's body, flowing endlessly into the fox's form.
As the aura poured in, the fox's charred fur gradually shed, revealing new, pure white fur.
Half an hour later, the once charred and disheveled fox had transformed into a pristine white fox with nine tails, exuding exquisite beauty.
Although it was hard to understand the fox's actions, it was evident that it was the victor of this battle.
Just as the fox, having completed its magnificent transformation, was about to turn and do something to the monster, a battle axe suddenly flew towards it, slicing the fox in half...
