# Chapter 0: The End of the First Volume
==============================
“A big fool! Hahaha!”
“A big fool!”
“Big fool!”
“Fool!”
“Dummy!”
Even just talking, the Heavenly Demon Sound Sisters could cast a spell that’s like an earworm, guaranteed to be stuck in your head. It’s truly brainwashing magic!
As Lin Nan found herself reincarnated in the body of one fluffy, white-haired little loli yet again, she fully grasped the power of their voices.
Sure, Li Ying Tian might be a higher level than those two, but once she beamed the real video of Feng Yalin back from the battlefield in Thousand Bird City into his mind, she saw his mental state crack like an overcooked egg.
It’s like they say: when you care too much, you lose your cool! Given that the safety of Thousand Bird City was Li Ying Tian’s recent fixation, this was just the beginning.
From this moment on, the Heavenly Demon Sound Sisters could actually influence his actions to some extent.
Just seconds ago, Li Ying Tian was in k*ll mode, but the Heavenly Demon Sound Sisters weren’t afraid. They believed that even if that red sword energy came slashing down, it would only brush past them without causing a scratch.
At that moment, Cool Moon, Strong Brother, Si Yan, and others guarded the little lolis behind them.
If Li Ying Tian dared to strike again, they’d rather throw their lives away than let anything happen to those adorable little girls.
Li Ying Tian was frozen in mid-air, that brainwashing line echoing in his mind like a bad pop song.
“Bam…”
The red sword energy completely dissipated into thin air.
What had he overlooked?
When did things start to go sideways?
Suddenly, the phrase “Great King of the Split Land” popped into his mind.
It was him!
In the next second, Li Ying Tian just wanted to race over to White Feather City and confront the j*rk face-to-face.
But then it hit him. That guy had likely betrayed him, rampaging through Thousand Bird City like a maniac, and he was filled with regret.
How could he have been so easily fooled?
The “assassination” of the Great King of the Split Land was just a ploy to lure him away!
Once he left Thousand Bird City, he’d be less of a threat, making it easier for the enemy to execute their plans.
That guy even dangled the Cold Moon Witch as bait, drawing him into the Chaos Forest to buy time.
From the outset, that Bull Head had this trick up his sleeve—it was utterly ridiculous! Here he was, the head honcho of Thousand Bird City, getting played by a bunch of monsters and not even realizing it!
If it weren’t for those two little girls reminding him, he probably would still be scratching his head over this whole mess.
“Let me tell you!”
The white-haired little loli tugged on the red-haired one and smiled.
“The dark mist enveloping Thousand Bird City? If a regular person touches it, they’ll instantly drop dead! But we Exterminators have a way in.”
Li Ying Tian gasped.
Suddenly, the words “Cold Wind City” barged into his head.
“Cold Wind City… Cold Wind City… Cold Wind City…”
A chorus of whispers hammered on his mind relentlessly.
He recalled how, before setting off, Tan Ziyan from the Hall of Heavenly Secrets had exhausted all her luck to discover a thread of fate that could change Thousand Bird City’s destiny—“Cold Wind City.”
His first reaction was to seize Cold Wind City and deal with the Cold Moon Witch.
But at this point, he realized he might have made a colossal blunder.
Could it be that the will of the heavens wanted Thousand Bird City to cooperate with Cold Wind City to weather this huge crisis?
No… that can’t be right.
As the leader of Thousand Bird City, monsters only ever bowed before humans, serving them. How could he ever lower himself to play equals with them, let alone plead for their help?
If word got out, could he live with the shame?
Ha, perhaps this whole situation was just a little trick played by the Great King of the Split Land. Long tired of being controlled by Thousand Bird City, he seized this opportunity to strike back.
Such a foe? Li Ying Tian could handle him all on his own!
Besides, the ten warriors from Half Moon City were arriving soon—battle-hardened and full of experience. They would be a tremendous asset.
They didn’t need any help from Cold Wind City.
At this point, continuing the fight was utterly pointless.
Whatever remaining monsters in White Feather City? Just consider that a gift to Cold Wind City for timely intel.
And as for the still-missing Cold Moon Witch, Li Ying Tian had lost all patience to stick around.
Rushing to reinforce Thousand Bird City was now his top priority.
“Thousand Bird City has its own solutions; no need for your worry!”
Li Ying Tian coldly addressed the little lolis.
To him, these two little girls were merely the Cold Moon Witch’s mouthpieces.
Trying to influence Thousand Bird City through them? No way!
“We’re outta here!”
With a flourish of his sleeve, he decisively commanded.
Gongsun Ding and the other Inner Door Disciples hurriedly hopped onto the celestial beast resting on the battlefield’s outskirts, racing back to Thousand Bird City.
The move left both sides of the battleground in utter confusion.
Wait, are we still fighting or what?
Their leader just bolted, and the monsters from White Feather City exchanged glances, flabbergasted.
The most awkward of all were the Great Demons, like Evil Merman, standing on the walls.
As they faced the encroaching forces from Cold Wind City and the Demon-Slaying Squad eyeing them from a distance, they suddenly felt completely abandoned.
The only remaining leader from White Feather City, Vulture, was oddly calm.
As an insider, he wasn’t surprised that Li Ying Tian caught on and decided to pull out.
From the looks of it, Thousand Bird City’s fate was sealed.
Even if Li Ying Tian rushed back now, what difference would it make?
If he couldn’t get into Thousand Bird City, everything was just hot air!
As for the monsters left behind? They could all vanish for all he cared—they wouldn’t affect the grand scheme.
His only goal now was to get out of there,
and being tied to Cold Wind City simply held no value anymore.
Once the Great King succeeded, turning around to deal with Cold Wind City would be a walk in the park.
“White Feather City, retreat!”
Vulture unfurled his wings, hovering in the air, and issued his final command to the army.
Then, he soared off, solo.
As their commander, Li Ying Tian, and vice-commander, Vulture, made their exits, the remaining monsters erupted in chaos.
They scattered like startled birds, fleeing everywhere.
In an instant, all that remained under Cold Wind City were confused players; the monsters had completely vanished.
And the Great Demon charge led by Evil Merman found themselves isolated and abandoned.
Seeing the cold wind soldiers encircle them,
the remaining eight members of the Demon-Slaying Squad were visibly itching for some action.
Evil Merman knew, today was their last stand.
After struggling for a bit, perhaps their natural tendency to submit to power kicked in.
Before long, he was the first to go “thud” on the ground, tilting his head up, “We surrender!”
Thus, the last remnant of White Feather City’s forces lost all fighting spirit.
【Ding! The first chapter of the expansion pack, “Rise of the Monster Race”—White Feather City vs. Cold Wind City, comes to an end.】
【The system is beginning to tally results.】
【Cold Wind City claims the final victory; players from Cold Wind City receive system rewards!】
【Ding! The second chapter of the expansion pack, “Crisis of Thousand Bird City,” now commences.】
