(Jian POV)

A day passed since Ye Yan came out of the border and I hear news from the Alchemy Association that Nie Li brought some members of the Dark Guild including Shen Ming there. I didn't hear any news from the Snow Wind family about Ye Yan returning so either Ye Yan didn't go there yet or they are trying to keep his return a secret.

Another week passed before Ye Zong called me to the City Lord manor again. He finish gathering all the resources and wanted to know when I'll be able to build the Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Array.

I could've built it in one day but I slow down my progress to see if the Dark Guild will try to attack once news got out. As I was getting close to finishing and thought they weren't going to attack, I notice a glowing summoning array in the distance. From what I can make out, it's an array used to summon abyss demons.

Using my soul force, I operate a basic technique that allows my voice to be transmitted to a wide area. I transmitted it to the City Lord mansion, "The city is under attack by the Dark Guild, they are summoning an Abyss Demon, I need someone to delay the Demon for a minute while I finish the array! It should be able to kill the Demon!"

Once I'm finished, Ye Zong burst out of the City Lord mansion. "Where are they?!" he yelled. He didn't need anyone to answer him as he sees a giant burning demon along with a few little demons coming out of a portal in the ground.

"Xiu, get the guards ready and protect the city!" Ye Zong yelled as he makes his way straight toward the giant demon.

My original body, Ning'er, and Ziyuna also arrive to make sure the smaller demons didn't escape and help Ye Zong if he gets in trouble while I continue completing the Demonic Beast Array. It didn't take long for me to finish. I already built everything and just needed to put all the demon spirits in place. After putting in almost all the demon spirit, I store the remaining and take out 8 of my Legend rank demon spirits to act as the core for the 8 smaller array that makes up the bigger array.

Once the 8 Legend rank demon spirits are in place, the array lights up and floods of demon beasts appear around the smaller arrays. With a thought, I direct the demon spirits closest to the Abyss Summoning Array to attack. It freaks a lot of the guards out at first, but after they see that the demon beast is only attacking the flame demons and me controlling them, the guards relax and start to retreat under the order of Ye Xiu.

The demon beasts easily overpowered the flame demons and smashed the array preventing any more flame demons from coming through. With only the giant Abyss Demon is left, I direct the demon beasts to pin down it down while Ye Zong and the Legend rank demon beast charge up to a powerful attack.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

Ye Zong, who still have the Balck Scale Earth Dragon, summon giant earth spikes that impale the bottom half of the Abyss Demon while the Legend rank demon beast summons down a giant lightning bolt that destroyed the top half of the Abyss Demon killing it.

With the Abyss Demon dead, I deactivate the Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Array. Ye Xiu came over to check on his brother making sure that he's fine. When they both looked at me, I just give them a nod and return to working on the array. While the main array is done, I still need to put down another array on top of it to make sure people don't misuse the main array.

Once I'm done, I make my way to the City Lord mansion. He's the person that's responsible for the protection of Glory City so he should be the one that gets to control the array. I went straight to Ye Zong, everyone knows me already so no one stops me.

"Master Long, what can I do for you." Ye Zong said when he noticed me entering his room.

"I'm done with the array." I took out a small scroll I made. "All the information on how to operate and repair the array is in this scroll." I give Ye Zong the scroll.

Ye Zong looks tiredly at the scroll. "I can't thank you enough for making the array. Now we no longer have to fear outside forces destroying the city."

"I hope so. Be careful who you share the scroll with. I suggest only sharing it with future City Lord."

"Yeah," Ye Zong agree.

"Oh, and do remember, if anyone in control of the array tries to use it for anything other than protecting the city, the array will turn on them."

Ye Zong nodded seriously, "I'll make sure to remember and remind people of that."

"Good, if there isn't anything else I'll take my leave."

As I was preparing to leave, Ye Zong looks like he just thought of something. "Ah, there is something. A few days ago, one of my ancestors supposedly returns to life. I checked everything and confirm that it really is him. Still, I can't help but worry if it's true or if it's an enemy that knows us too well."

He should be talking about Ye Yan. "If you are talking about one of the founders of Glory City then he is the real person."

"You know about him?" Ye Zong asks

"Yes, Jun found him as a soul lingering on in the Heavenly Sacred Border. Using a technique I thought him as a life-preserving method, Jun is able to give his soul a body."

Ye Zong look shocked, "You have a technique that can bring people back to life?"

"Hahaha, no. Such a technique does not exist in this world. All the technique did is give a body to a soul that is able to survive on its own." I told Ye Zong. I'm not really lying because there is no technique in this Tiny World that can revive people.

"If such a technique did exist then I'm sure it'll throw the world into turmoil." Ye Zong looks disappointed but also relieved at the same time. "Still, thank you for everything you've done to help the city. As the City Lord, I can't thank you enough."

"Don't mind it, I live in this city now. It's also a citizen's job to protect the city as much as it is yours."

After making some more small talks with Ye Zong, I leave him to do his job.
