Gods, I am the ancient Greek god of joy

Chapter 274: Amethyst Frenzy Ends

His voice was filled with urgency and fear, which made the city lord feel something was wrong. He hurriedly urged the barrier to recover, but at this time, purple crystals were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye at the gap. At this time, cold sweat broke out on the city lord's forehead, because... the barrier could not be closed.

Li Xiang frowned, watching with worry as countless defenders began to gather at the barrier, trying to repair the damaged barrier. He knew that this was just a drop in the bucket and could not be resisted at all. He turned his head, secretly pushed the third brother beside him, and said in a low voice: "Run! This city can no longer be defended now, take your family and run for your lives!"

His eyes were full of worry and helplessness. The third brother widened his eyes and looked at Li Xiang in disbelief. He originally thought that there was still a glimmer of hope to enter the city, but after hearing Li Xiang's words, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered. He clenched his fists tightly, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.

Li Xiang continued in a low voice: "There is no place for us in the entire Longyuan Dynasty now. Listen to my advice, don't trust anyone here! Once something happens here, we will be scapegoats, so we must flee here as soon as possible, hide our identities, or hide somewhere else!"

The third brother took a deep breath and nodded, indicating that he understood what Li Xiang meant, then turned and flew towards his own residence. Li Xiang looked at the third brother's receding figure, with a complex emotion welling up in his heart. Originally, they brothers followed Jiang Xuan and were considered to be a powerful force in the area, but now they can only scatter like birds in a flock, and they don't know when they will see each other again in the future.

But looking at the roaring sandstorm outside the city, Li Xiang had no time to sigh. He had a premonition that his journey would not be so smooth. He looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he immediately ran into the city, where there was his temporary base with some life-saving things. Now with this scale of amethyst powder, the city is doomed!

At this time, no one cared about Li Xiang's whereabouts, because the white-purple sandstorm in the distance had already covered the entire city's barrier. It seemed that something heavy was constantly hitting the barrier in the sandstorm, making the people guarding below feel extremely scared.

Everyone was hiding in the house nervously watching everything outside. At this time, only the city defense forces were patrolling. Once they found a weak point in the barrier, they would quickly send people to repair it. Through the barrier, one could see purple crystal pillars growing inward on the energy barrier. The tips of these crystal pillars were facing downwards, and they were still absorbing the energy of the barrier and growing continuously.

As the purple crystal continued to spread, the barrier of the entire city began to shake violently. The shaking of the barrier triggered a chain reaction, and countless crystal pillars hanging overhead suddenly began to fall.

Once these crystal pillars landed on the ground, they would quickly release energy, instantly turning everything around them into amethyst. They were like small bombs, covering wherever they went with amethyst. The originally bustling streets gradually lost their original appearance under the erosion of amethyst. The spread of amethyst was extremely fast, covering most of the city in the blink of an eye. The originally bustling city became completely silent in just a dozen minutes.

At this time, Zagreus was sitting in the pavilion drinking afternoon tea. Cui Xiu carefully moved aside the aggressive plants and handed the two city lord seals to Zagreus.

"Your Majesty, the Purple Crystal Apostle you sent out has successfully pried open the barriers of the Longyuan and Shuiyue dynasties. The two city lord seals you wanted are here!"

Zagreus glanced at the seal on the table and brushed it over. Instantly, the seal shattered and two golden lights emerged from it. As soon as the golden lights appeared, they immediately tried to escape, but Zagreus turned his wrist and caught them with the wine pot at hand. Then, the divine power in his hand flowed, and the two golden lights instantly merged into the wine. Zagreus poured out a glass of golden and shiny wine and took a sip.

"Hmm, it tastes smooth and soft, worthy of being a fine wine brewed with the luck of a city. Now that the barriers of the two dynasties have been breached, the luck's suppression of them is no longer strong. I heard that the emperors of the two dynasties are absorbing a large amount of national luck. Without the luck's suppression, the evil in people's hearts will be magnified. I think those demons and monsters will come out. In this way, the speed of the Amethyst Apostle's invasion will be much faster. Notify everyone and let them prepare to take over the two dynasties!"

"Yes! By the way, there was an unexpected gain this time. When the Purple Crystal Envoys were attacking the city, the Ten Eunuchs also found the eunuch Fu who had escaped before. Your Majesty, would you like to meet him?"

"Oh, it's him, bring him up here for me to see!"

"Yes!"

After Cui Xiu finished speaking, a figure also dressed in eunuch's clothes walked into the courtyard outside, bowed and threw Li Fu to the ground. These were the subordinates that Cui Xiu had created using bacteria. There were ten of them in total, who were specifically responsible for handling "miscellaneous matters" for him. They were also known as the Ten Attendants by the outside world.

"Hey, isn't this Eunuch Fu? How come you've lost so much weight?"

Zagrous looked at Eunuch Fu who was kneeling on the ground and trembling. Zagrous had seen before that this man's soul was not right and he did not exist in this time and space. After all, he had messed up the long river of time, so it was not surprising that he created a time traveler.

But this Eunuch Fu seemed to know a lot about him, otherwise he wouldn't be so afraid of him when he saw him. Could it be that he relied on the memory of later generations to take something that belonged to him?

"You seem to be very afraid of me!"

Facing Zagreus's sudden question, Eunuch Fu suddenly shuddered, then immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is as powerful as the sky, I dare not look directly at you, I ran away before because I was afraid of being punished by the palace, please spare my life, Your Majesty!"

At this moment Li Fu cursed inwardly, wasn't it said that Emperor Feng would ascend the throne after he came of age? How come he ascended the throne several years earlier? Moreover, he had already intercepted the martial arts that Emperor Feng practiced when he was young from the library in advance, so how could he still be so powerful? Could it be the butterfly effect of my time travel back in time? Damn it, I shouldn't have coveted the Underworld Seal, otherwise I wouldn't have been caught by the Ten Attendants!

Zagreus felt some fragments of Li Fu's soul, and then a list of eunuchs appeared in his hand. He opened it and read: "Li Fu, you entered the palace in the 22nd year of Nanzhao. The following year, you were appreciated by the late emperor and promoted to a close attendant. Since then, you have been assisting the late emperor. Is this your record of entering the palace?"

"Yes!"

Zagreus flipped through the list in his hand again, and then threw it in front of Li Fu, "Then can you explain to me why there is no record of you before entering the palace, and how did you get this cultivation level of Returning to the Void Realm?"

When Li Fu heard this, he was shocked and said hurriedly, "I had a serious illness before and lost my memory. After I woke up, I served in the palace. Later, because of my cleverness, I was appreciated by the late emperor. I accidentally got the cultivation method of my ancestors from the library in my spare time. I was greedy for a while and did not report it. Later, I relied on the great medicine in the palace to achieve this cultivation!"
