Although Keli did not fully understand Cavalio's meaning, he immediately agreed and sent out the orders. The reason Keli trusted Cavalio unconditionally was that they had served in the same unit back in the day, and Cavalio had once begged for his life. After giving the orders, Keli turned to Cavalio and said, "Cavalio, what's going on? What happened at Lion Mountain? Why is it so serious?"
Cavalio glanced at Keli and said in a deep voice, "Zhao Hai has come!"
Keli was taken aback and replied, "So what if Zhao Hai is here? What does that have to do with Lion Mountain... Wait, you said undead beings have appeared at Lion Mountain, and Zhao Hai has come? Could it be...?"
Cavalio nodded and said, "That's right. I've seen those undead beings. It's them!"
Keli's eyes instantly turned bloodshot as he looked at Cavalio and said, "Cavalio, I remember your ancestors are also buried at Lion Mountain, right? Could it be that they...?"
Cavalio's expression turned fierce as he nodded and said, "I've seen him, but unfortunately, he doesn't recognize me." Their conversation was loud enough for those around them to hear. Some looked confused, while others appeared horrified, their faces flashing with a violent color. However, Keli and Cavalio were too absorbed in their own thoughts to notice.
Just as Zhao Hai had said, the emotions of the people in Lion Continent were like a powder keg ready to explode. Even the usually calm soldiers were showing signs of agitation, let alone the others.
Initially, Cavalio had intended to keep the news secret, but Keli's question compelled him to reveal it. Once one person knew, others would soon find out; this matter would likely spread across the entire Lion Continent quickly.
At this moment, Qingfeng and Mingyue had already led the undead beings into the darkness king. Below the darkness king was a cabin specifically for these undead beings to cultivate. Previously, there had been many undead beings there, but now Zhao Hai had relocated those undead beings to the space, allowing Qingfeng and Mingyue to enter the cabin.
The combat power of Qingfeng and Mingyue was among the strongest of all the undead beings, so Zhao Hai certainly wanted to keep them by his side to enhance his own fighting spirit. Currently, Zhao Hai could not use all of his strength, and the appearance of Qingfeng and Mingyue indeed solved a lot of problems for him.
Meanwhile, Cavalio and Keli went straight to Lion City, wanting to inform the clan leader of the Lion Clan about Zhao Hai's arrival in Lion Continent as soon as possible so that they could prepare in advance.
Zhao Hai did not consider the matter finished. He immediately commanded the darkness king to start causing destruction beneath Lion Mountain. He aimed to destroy the entire Lion Mountain and let everyone in Lion Continent know that he had done so. Even if they wanted to hide this news, it would be impossible.
For Zhao Hai, shaking the foundation of Lion Mountain was not a difficult task. He had a vast number of undead beings at his disposal, as well as numerous heavy armored creatures. Destroying the foundation of Lion Mountain and causing it to collapse was not challenging.
As Zhao Hai was fiercely destroying the foundation of Lion Mountain, Keli's subordinates had also arrived at the foot of Lion Mountain, surrounding it. Naturally, they could not encircle the entire Lion Mountain; they only set up a quarantine zone at the mountain's corner, preventing anyone from approaching.
They were unaware of what was happening inside Lion Mountain because they had not received any orders regarding it. Zhao Hai, however, was not polite and released a large number of undead beings, starting to excavate inside Lion Mountain, preparing to hollow it out and then cause it to collapse.
With many hands, Zhao Hai had billions of undead beings under his command. Excavating a relatively small mountain was not a difficult task for so many undead beings, especially since their strength was divine-level. They could convert their energy into earth-based magic, making destruction even faster.
