Chapter 949: The Beast Tide Attacks Tomorrow!

Editor: Atlas Studios

Within the mission requirements, the city that needed reinforcements was a small city called Xing Ning City.

It was ruled by the City Lord’s Manor.

The strongest person in the City Lord’s Manor was only half a step into the Divine General Realm.

Therefore, it was extremely difficult to resist the beast tide led by several Divine General Realm magical beasts. They could only rely on the help of the outside world.

The next day, Elder Zhong, Ye Qiubai, and the others also arrived.

The City Lord’s Manor immediately welcomed them.

City Lord Xing Ning had a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with fatigue and seriousness as he walked over. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, “Thank you for coming to help. On behalf of all the citizens of Xing Ning City, I thank you.”

Zhong Changgong stepped forward and said, “You’re too kind. Let’s talk about the current situation.”

City Lord Xing Ning nodded and said, “Currently, other than your team, another team has already arrived in the city. I’ve already sent someone to call for them. They should arrive soon. Let’s talk when the time comes.”

It was normal for multiple teams to accept a mission.

Zhong Changgong was not surprised. He nodded and waited quietly by the side.

Five minutes later, the other team arrived.

Zhong Changgong frowned when he saw them.

“Yo, isn’t this Zhong Changgong? I was wondering who wanted to snatch this mission from us.”

Zhong Changgong frowned slightly when he saw this person.

“Lan Hai…”

At the side, Zhong Yan explained, “Lan Hai is also an inner sect disciple of the Divine Body Sect. He usually doesn’t get along with Zhong Changgong.”

A sizing up glint landed on Ye Qiubai and the others in Lan Hai’s narrow eyes.

He was extremely unscrupulous and did not hide anything.

Immediately, Lan Hai sneered and said, “Heh, Zhong Changgong, you’re really getting worse the more you live. You called so many people over just to accept this mission?”

“You’re just a Divine General Realm expert. How can you compete with our team?”

As for Lan Hai’s team…

Even though there was one less cultivator than Zhong Changgong, three of them were at Beginner Stage Divine General Realm. The remaining three had also reached the half-step Divine General Realm!

In terms of overall strength, Lan Hai’s side was indeed much stronger than Zhong Changgong’s on the surface.

No wonder he was so arrogant.

Zhong Changgong said with a dark expression, “Whether we can win or not, we still have to fight.”

Even though he said that, Zhong Changgong still muttered in his heart.

He did not expect that this remote mission would attract Lan Hai over.

Lan Hai sneered. “What’s the point of moving your lips? Why don’t we make a bet?”

Hearing this, Zhong Changgong raised his eyebrows. “What bet?”

“Whoever completes the mission first will give the other party three years of sect resources. How about that?”

Three years!

Zhong Changgong frowned. This was not a small sum!

“Why? Is there a problem?” Lan Hai sneered and stared at Zhong Changgong mockingly. “Or are you afraid?”

Zhong Changgong and Lan Hai were sworn enemies in the sect.

Not only that, the inner court elder behind the two of them did the same.

As a result, the two of them had always been at loggerheads regardless of whether they were in the sect or outside.

For the sake of his face, Zhong Changgong had no choice but to agree.

Seeing Zhong Changgong nod, Lan Hai narrowed his eyes. “I hope you won’t regret it.”

While the two of them were talking, City Lord Xing Ning also looked at Ye Qiubai and the others suspiciously.

Indeed, this team only had one Divine General Realm expert. The rest were all at the Divine Soldier Realm. Could they really complete the mission…

However, this suspicion could not be voiced in person.

Seeing that the two of them had finished their “discussion”, he suppressed the doubts in his heart and laughed. “Alright, alright. How about we discuss a countermeasure?”

This was a moment of life and death for Xing Ning City after all. They could not afford to waste any time.

“This is the map of the surroundings of Xing Ning City.”

As he spoke, City Lord Xing Ning spread out the map.

Everyone looked at it and saw that it had already marked the place where the magical beasts would temporarily stay and the place where the Divine General-level magical beasts might appear.

Even the time of the attack was clearly marked on it.

City Lord Xing Ning said with a solemn expression, “The information on this map was exchanged with the lives of various experts in the city.”

“Of course, more importantly, the next beast tide attack will be tomorrow.”

At this moment, Fang Qiong asked, “Is the timing of the beast tide attack fixed?”

City Lord Xing Ning nodded. “That’s right. There’s a specific time for the dark demonic qi to burst and spread. That’s every three days.”

“When the demonic qi spreads, it will be the time for the beast tide to attack.”

At this point, the Xing Ning City Lord said with a solemn expression, “Right now, Xing Ning City’s reserves have already been depleted. Too many experts have been sacrificed. We can only rely on everyone for the next siege… Please help us defend the city with all your might. Otherwise, Xing Ning City will probably be plunged into misery and suffering…”

Zhong Changgong smiled and said, “Of course. We’re here for this.”

Lan Hai mocked from the side, “Defending the city is inevitable. I’m just afraid that you will die on the city wall.”

Zhong Changgong: “Same to you.”

The two of them were always looking for an opportunity to mock each other…

“Alright, everyone, you can discuss your countermeasures. The guest rooms have been arranged. You can rest well and maintain your best state to deal with tomorrow’s defense.”

They nodded and looked at the map.

There were seven red dots on the map.

That meant that there were seven Divine General-level magical beasts.

Seven God-level magical beasts coupled with the City Lord and the Patriarch of the family below.

Lan Hai’s side had three people, Zhong Changgong.

There were only six Divine General Realm experts.

At the side, Zhong Yan frowned and said, “I’m afraid it’s a little difficult.”

Xing Ning City had three city walls, and to the south was a natural mountain range barrier.

There were three Divine General magical beasts on the northern city wall.

There were two on each side.

The pressure on the northern city wall was also the greatest.

City Lord Xing Ning said, “Leave the northern city wall to Lan Hai and the rest?”

Lan Hai’s team had three Divine General Realm experts after all.

Lan Hai nodded and smiled. “That’s what I’m thinking. When the time comes, I’ll just kill those three Divine General-level magical beasts and the mission will be completed.”

At this point, Lan Hai even glanced at Zhong Changgong.

Zhong Changgong snorted.

City Lord Xing Ning immediately poured cold water on him. “Don’t underestimate those magical beasts. Under the enhancement of the dark demonic qi, they are stronger than ordinary Divine Generals.”

Half a day later, they had also confirmed their respective defense points.

City Lord Xing Ning led another Divine General to guard the western city wall.

Zhong Changgong was stationed on the east wall.

Back in the guest room, Mu Fusheng asked, “What do you guys think?”

Ye Qiubai smiled and said, “An opportunity that came knocking on my door.”

Fang Qiong also smiled and nodded. “The two sides happen to have conflicts. If Zhong Changgong really has that idea, we can make use of it.”

Blackie reminded him, “When the time comes, I might have to hide my strength. After all, the people from the Demon King Domain are in this star domain.”

The three of them nodded and rested.

The next day slowly arrived…
