My wife is a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox-Chapter 260: The Truth

All the preparations had been made.

It was time to tell the public the truth.

Thanks to these strong shields of protection, even if they knew, there wouldn’t be much panic.

Eight thirty in the evening.

All thirty-four defensive zones were on high alert, warriors blocked every street, and air-raid sirens sounded over the city.

All television media were broadcasting the latest news from the Inner Court.

The citizens of Qing Country were all waiting at home for the live broadcast to start, their hearts filled with trepidation.

No one knew what was happening, nor had anyone experienced it before; they were clueless about what was to come.

The country was making such big moves; something significant was bound to happen.

"Could it be the end of the world is coming?"

"Impossible, right? Shouldn’t the end of the world involve building Noah’s Ark? What does them surrounding us mean?"

"This is too scary, my heart has been racing non-stop, I just can’t calm down!"

"Hurry up and start, tell me what’s actually going on, I haven’t been able to sleep well for days, it’s been unbearable!"

"Here it comes, here it comes, it’s Emperor Qing, Emperor Qing has arrived!"

In the anxious wait of the people, at nine o’clock in the evening, Emperor Qing appeared on the screen.

He looked imperiously at the camera and began to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that everyone has been very anxious recently, guessing what exactly has happened!"

"Today, I will tell you about the events that are about to happen!"

"Due to the revival of Spiritual Energy, the portal to the Upper Realm is about to open, and Demon Beasts and demons from the Upper Realm will soon invade our world!"

Boom!

The nation was in shock.

"The legendary Demon Beasts?"

"Demons are coming?"

"Are these city walls meant to stop the demons?"

"That’s a relief, I thought it was the end of the world? As long it’s not that, everything is okay!"

Upon hearing about demons, everyone’s hearts settled, after all, their country now had so many powerful warriors and towering steel walls; they were not worried at all.

Emperor Qing, with a serious face, continued to speak in a grave tone, "I know that you have all seen the defensive structures we have built and the powerful warriors we have cultivated!"

"But!"

Emperor Qing’s tone shifted abruptly, "The Demon Beasts we face come from the Upper Realm, they do not exist in the same dimension as us, and we cannot clearly say how powerful they truly are."

"For safety, everyone will stay at home for the next three days, and various departments will provide you with the necessary living supplies to ensure everyone’s safety!"

"After three days, if the crisis is resolved, we will notify everyone to return to their normal lives; if the crisis is not resolved, then until we can resolve it!"

"Please trust us, the Inner Court and the Guardian God, will do everything in our power to quell this crisis!"

People across the nation applauded, although they knew Emperor Qing couldn’t see them, they still shouted loudly, "We believe in our country, believe that everything will be settled, believe we will be safe and sound!"

After Emperor Qing had finished speaking, the Inner Court elders took over to announce some details about staying at home for these three days and also revealed the emergency contact numbers for different areas.

From the highest leaders of each city to the community managers, everyone released their contact information at the same time and established an intranet-style communication network.

At that moment, all the citizens felt reassured.

Because the country had thought of everything for them, all they needed to do now was to stay put.

"I never thought I would be lying flat in this manner!"

"It’s simply too wonderful, I really wish I could keep lying down like this forever!"

"Stop talking nonsense. When the nation is in peril, every man is responsible. Everyone must remember that although we can’t go to the battlefield to slay demon beasts, we must not cause trouble for our country. Anyone who stirs up trouble at this time is a traitor!"

"Right, we must stand united, and show no mercy!"

The national sentiment was high, and everyone stayed at home, abiding by the rules.

Those who knew the truth felt relieved as the weight in their hearts lifted.

On the defense walls of Capital City, Wu Xia stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze profound as he looked into the dark expanse outside.

Because of the construction of the wall, all circuits outside the city were cut off, and the lights that once shone like brilliant stars could no longer be seen.

The other thirty-plus defensive strongholds were also on high alert, each city with a formidable leader in charge, along with a special squad, preventing the imminent crisis.

Even though there were still two hours until the portal opened, they all hung in suspense.

For the safety of their families behind them, they had no other choice but to fight to the end.

"Wu Xia, there’s no need to be so tense. We’ve made ample preparations, we can definitely win!"

Xiao Nihuang appeared beside Wu Xia at some point.

Even though Lord Xiao had retaken control of military power, Xiao Nihuang, as a once-in-a-generation War God, still rushed to the front line at this critical moment.

As for the other women, Wu Xia had sent them back to protect Lin Jiao and the rest.

Although he knew Lin Jiao was very powerful, she was pregnant after all. Wu Xia could not let her become agitated.

He had a lot of confidence in his own strength, but he was scared that the demon beasts would come at him like an army.

In such a case, he simply would not be able to resist or protect everyone.

Moreover, though the opening was said to be at midnight, who knew if the enemy might arrive early or attack all the cities at the same time.

Xiao Nihuang tenderly took Wu Xia’s hand, "Don’t worry, it’ll be okay!"

"Hmm!" Wu Xia nodded slightly, revealing a sincere smile.

"Nihuang, you don’t need to stay here with me. Go to the back, after all, you’re now the head manager. You need to ensure that there are no accidents in any city. If any place can’t hold on, tell me immediately so I can provide support."

Xiao Nihuang did not let go of Wu Xia’s hand, instead moving closer to him and nestling in the crook of his arm. Gone was her towering presence, replaced by a touch of tenderness.

"Wu Xia, be sure to take care of yourself. After this storm blows over, let me also have a child, alright?"

Boom!

Wu Xia was slightly startled; he hadn’t expected Xiao Nihuang to bring up the matter of having children at this time.

However, feeling Xiao Nihuang’s overflowing maternal love and concern for him, Wu Xia still nodded gently.

"Hmm, I will take good care of myself. You all must also take care of yourselves!"

"Hmm!"

Xiao Nihuang nodded tenderly, kissed Wu Xia deeply on the cheek, and then left with her face flushed red.

Wu Xia’s lips turned up slightly, and his eyes filled with even more determination.

He would protect everyone, both his greater and smaller family, and absolutely not let anyone get hurt.

Boom!

Midnight struck.

With a thunderous roar, the whole earth trembled.

In the pitch-black sky, colorful lights burst forth, and tremendous Spiritual Power and pressure came from the heavens.

"They’re finally here!"
