"What? The City Lord needs help from formation experts?"

"Anyone who is a formation expert please go help the City Lord! Please save us from the disaster!"

"Hey, aren't you a Formation Master? Let's go to the City Lord and help her out!"

"Shhhhhh!!! Are you crazy? I'm just a Formation Master. Something that the City Lord requires help with most likely needs a Formation Grandmaster or higher!"

At this moment, most people were already gathered at the West, North, and South gates. However, due to the lockdown, nobody could exit the city and the situation at each of the gates was out of control.

Thankfully, there were Nascent Soul experts from some organizations who used their power to quell the unrest among the people.

Underground, Layla had just finished relaying the message from the City Lord to the others.

Leyvi looked at Anda.

"I'm going to help the City Lord." Leyvi calmly said.

Anda also stared into Leyvi's eyes. How could she not know her husband? He was a soft-hearted person. However, if possible, she didn't want him to risk his life for other people. Who cares if the entire city perished, as long as he is safe?

She wanted to reject it, but she knew Leyvi wasn't asking for permission this time. There were too many lives at stake, and he realized that he was probably the only one who could help them.

"The enemy is a Soul Formation realm cultivator. You could die easily." Anda said.

"Don't worry, I'll bring Scarlet and do it secretly. After I disable the enemy's formation, I'll return very fast, okay?" Leyvi tried to convince Anda.

Nala, Selene, Ava, and Dorin were confused hearing their conversations. Help the city lord? Is he a formation expert?

Isn't he a country bumpkin? When did he become a formation expert? Dorin felt it was impossible. Ah, Right! This is a dream! She forgot.

Anda frowned. "Fine! But if something happened to you, I'll be the one who will unleash a massacre in this city next time. You got that?"

Leyvi felt chills when he heard Anda's warning. She would definitely do it if something happened to him. So, he has to come back alive. He sighed inwardly. Sometimes his panda wife was scarier than a villain.

As a husband, he must guide her properly so that she wouldn't be a panda villain in the future.

Soon, Leyvi returned to the surface again while the rest waited underground. He was just going to dismantle the formation and return here quickly. The only reason he decided to do this was because it was within his capability. He wouldn't even consider this at all if he had to fight against a Soul Formation expert.

Leyvi noticed that they were already very near to the border and his location wasn't far from the East Gate. He decided that he should dismantle the Holy Cat City's Grand Kitty Nine Layer Formation first so that the people could flee. Leyvi's eyebrow twitched. He still couldn't get used to this name.

He then flew as fast as he could to the border. A minute later, he arrived and saw the barrier clearly. It indeed had nine layers, but where was the kitty? No kitty pattern? What a false advertisement!

Feeling disappointed, Leyvi kicked the barrier.

CRASHHH!!!

Leyvi heard the loud and familiar formation-getting-dismantled sound, as the nine layers of barrier in front of him shattered into pieces.

Millions of people inside the city also heard the loud shattering sound, which greatly shocked them. Some even fainted from the unintended jump scare.

"Look! The barrier is gone! Let's run! Go go!"

"Did someone lift the lockdown? Has the envoy arrived? Maybe we are safe now."

"There's probably a formation expert helping the City Lord now. Thank goodness!"

"Who cares? Let's run away first! I don't want to die!"

"I'm never coming back to this city!"

"Dammit! Who touched my butt?? Taking advantage while people are running away!"

"Oi, some people fainted. Help them!"

The people gathering at the city gates quickly scattered and fled through the broken barrier. They started riding their airships and flew back to their territories.

Cultivators who didn't have transportation just flew away or even ran on foot as far as they could. They just wanted to be as far away as possible from the rampaging resurrected Demonic Beasts.

The disappearance of the barrier not only shocked the escaping people, it also shocked the hunched old man and Caterina.

"What? Impossible! Has an envoy arrived? It has only been two hours! Don't tell me a Protector came already?" The hunched old man became greatly alarmed. If it was an envoy, he wouldn't be afraid, but if it was a Protector, he must cancel his plan and run away.

After a while, the hunched old man was relieved. His spiritual sense detected nothing dangerous and no disturbance could be felt by his controlled death Qi, which means there was no Soul Transformation realm expert around.

However, he was still annoyed by this development because his prey wasn't trapped anymore and began running away. He started to see many airships flying away in all directions from his position. His brilliant plan became a garbage plan as soon as the trapping part stopped working.

"Dammit! My future extra death Qi escaped just like that! I wasn't aware they had set up other ways to lift the lockdown!"

Although he felt annoyed, he had to keep channeling the death Qi to the city center, so that his resurrected monsters could kill at least the city's Law Enforcement and others who were protecting the city. Not only that, he's going to pump in more death Qi, so they become way stronger and finish them faster.

The hunched old man didn't appear relaxed anymore. Veins started to pop up from his wrinkled face and he started to breathe faster. Evidently, pumping in more death Qi beyond the normal rate would exhaust him a lot. However, he had no choice but to do this since the death trap was gone and he had to finish the chaos much faster than intended.

Meanwhile, Caterina, who was back from making the announcement, was shocked and confused by the situation. She was glad that the city's formation was gone, but at the same time wondered who could have done this. As the City Lord, aside from a few people, she naturally knew about it the best.

Even if an envoy came and lifted the lockdown, that wasn't how the formation was supposed to be disabled. There wasn't supposed to be a shattering sound at all!

Suddenly she saw a person she recognized flying towards the East Gate. It was her new target! She was glad that he was safe, but what was he doing here? The formation had disappeared. He should be escaping.

Leyvi arrived at the East Gate and saw a few people still guarding this place even though the formation had disappeared. Now that the barrier was gone, guarding this place would be extremely dangerous. Leyvi respected their courage to still carry out their duties at the risk of their life. At the same time, their courage also elevated his courage.

"Young man, what are you doing here? You should escape!" A gate guard noticed Leyvi.

"I'm here to help the City Lord! Where is she?" Leyvi replied urgently.

"You? Are you a formation expert? What level are you? Formation Teacher? Formation Master?" The gate guard was skeptical. He praised Leyvi's bravery and courage to help the City Lord, but has he considered whether he has that ability or not? He looked way too young to be useful.

Caterina was surprised that Leyvi had come here to help her. Did he know already that she was the city lord?

Caterina smiled. For some reason, her distraught feeling calmed to a certain degree. As expected of the man I was interested in! Caterina intentionally disregarded all the men who dumped her before, to appear like she had a good eye for people.

"I'm not a formation expert, but I have a supreme artifact that could disable formations. I had used it once to the city formation and now I have one use left to help the City Lord." Leyvi explained. Obviously, he couldn't tell them that it was his ability, so he had to make up a lie about a supreme artifact.

"What? That was your doing?" The gate guard was astonished.

Before Leyvi could reply, a familiar figure appeared next to him. It was a woman wearing a tight jumpsuit and a cat ears headband.

"The cat lady ghost!" Leyvi exclaimed. He didn't expect her to haunt him right now. Girl, I know you want my baby, but this isn't the right timing!

"??????" The gate guards were confused. The cat lady ghost?

Leyvi grabbed her hand and said, "My love, I don't have any intention of breaking our promise, but can you give me some time? The city needed my help right now. After I help them, I will fulfill your wish of having my baby!" Due to the urgency, Leyvi forgot to use sound transmission.

The gate guards were sweating profusely. What did we just hear? Is this young man the City Lord's young lover? She isn't going to silence us for knowing her secret, right?
