Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 563 Unexpected
However, Lu Ming was not in a hurry. He would definitely give Qing Lin a title later, after all, she had followed him for so many years and had not married yet. Even if she was released in the future, she would still be recognized because she had followed him.

I'm afraid no one will dare to marry her.

So this is something we should consider.

Then they continued drinking.

Qinglin was unaware of Lu Ming's thoughts. She simply stood obediently to the side while he drank, carefully refilling his cup after he finished.

I don't know how long I drank it.

Zhang Meng walked in and said to Lu Ming, "Your Majesty, the people of the Tianlin Clan have arrived and are currently encamped tens of thousands of miles away from Linggu Mall."

Upon receiving the reply, Lu Ming couldn't help but smirk. "Then let's wait for their attack. I also want to see just how strong the Tianlin Clan really is."

Lu Ming didn't take defending the city seriously.

Under normal circumstances, the city cannot be breached in a short time unless the opposing half-step Dao Realm expert personally takes action.

Now, with the formation being strengthened time and time again.

The formations in these shopping malls are now strong enough to stop even a half-step Dao Realm expert from launching an attack.

Of course, if there are too many people, then it will be impossible to resist.

However, since the Tianlin Clan has just arrived, even if it's for the sake of face, they won't start by reaching the half-step Dao Realm, because that would make them a laughing stock.

Nowadays, there are probably quite a few reclusive families watching the battle from all sides.

While Lu Ming continued drinking...

After the army had finished setting up camp, the Third Elder led his troops to the city gates.

The dark, imposing army completely surrounded the city, leaving no room for escape.

The elder standing to the side looked at the Third Elder and asked, "What should we do next?"

"Let's launch a probing attack, but we can't actually take it down. If the city really falls, Emperor Yu might not come. We need to be careful and just make it look like we have the upper hand and the city is about to be breached."

The Third Elder said calmly.

Clearly, he believed he could easily control the city.

Upon hearing his reply, the elder standing nearby immediately said, "I'll make the arrangements right away."

After saying that, he withdrew.

A short while later, a group headed towards the Linggu Mall.

Their speed was not slow, and their armor was so tight that it was no less than that of the Great Yu Dynasty. This showed that these reclusive families were truly powerful, far surpassing forces like the Sword Ancestor.

And as they moved forward.

Those from various races who had been watching the battle from the sidelines all showed expressions of curiosity.

A powerful figure slowly asked, "How long do you think it will take for this Spirit Valley Mall to be breached?"

In fact, many people are curious about the defenses of Dayu Mall.

If the city's defenses aren't strong enough, these people from various races might just secretly act as bandits and break into it.

After all, everyone knows that the human race's shop has a lot of good stuff.

If it's done discreetly and quickly enough, Da Yu might not be able to find out who did it.

"Who knows? Let's wait and see. We should know the result after this battle." An elder from a major clan stared intently at the arena, showing no intention of looking away.

At this moment, he was also very curious about how long Linggu Mall could hold out.

And at that moment, the battle finally began.

However, what happened next almost made everyone's jaws drop.

Just then, the army of the Tianlin clan approached the city.

The array formations shone brightly like stars.

An army of a million was swallowed up.

Some people let out terrible screams, while others' bodies began to dissolve at this moment.

No one expected that the Great Yu's formations would be so powerful. The leading Saint Ancestor Realm expert tried to break free, but the surrounding formations were all triggered by the first formation's contact, causing a chain reaction.

If it were just a formation, he might be able to break through.

But now all the formations have been activated.

He wanted to leave, but he simply couldn't.

"boom!"

In an instant, his body was struck squarely by a massive beam of energy.

Blood was continuously gushing from his mouth.

Even his chest had completely collapsed.

At this moment, he struggled to escape, but his body fell into the formation and was melted into it in just a moment.

Then, it completely disappeared.

After his death.

Everyone in the room fell silent at that moment.

They never imagined that something like this would happen.

They knew that the Great Yu was powerful, so no one would be surprised if this battle was an attack on a Great Yu border fortress.

However, what they are facing now is just an isolated shopping mall.

To think they would set up such a powerful formation, just how strong must the foundation of the Great Yu Dynasty be to do something so heinous.

Just as they were thinking this in their hearts.

The third elder's face turned red. He, too, had not expected such an outcome; the army had been completely annihilated before even approaching the city.

This is a million elite troops, although they are not veterans who survived from ancient battlefields.

They were definitely elite troops, but they just disappeared like that.

The elder standing to the side looked at him and asked, "Shall we continue the attack?"

The tone of his voice carried a questioning quality.

The Third Elder roared, "What's the point of attacking? Our morale is already destroyed. Going up there is just suicide! We'll rest today and fight again tomorrow!"

"I'll make Da Yu pay tomorrow!"

As soon as the Third Elder finished speaking, the elder beside him quickly said something.

The million soldiers who died in this battle were his own loyal troops. After the battle, he was not only severely weakened, but also felt a great deal of pain. How could he be satisfied if he did not seek revenge?

The Third Elder nodded and said nothing more.

Then he turned and left.

The others followed closely behind.

Everyone knew the other person was in a bad mood, so no one dared to approach.

After they left.

Yu Hong, standing atop the city wall, grinned and laughed uncontrollably.

With such limited strength, they dare to attack the Great Yu's marketplace? It's utterly absurd.

As for the people of various races who were watching from the sidelines, they also gave up the idea of ​​secretly plundering the human race's market.

With such strength, it was impossible to take them down easily. If the Great Yu found out that they were responsible, there would be a risk of their clan being wiped out. No one dared to make a move.

After all, Lu Ming's domineering nature is well-known.

At that very moment, while the other party was drinking in the palace, Qing Lin, who had just received the news, said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I have just received news that the first attack of the Tianlin Clan has been repelled by us."

Upon hearing the voice, Lu Ming nodded, downed his drink in one gulp, and looked at Qing Lin, saying, "Today you will serve me in bed!"

After saying that, he walked towards the palace.
