Chapter 252 - 252 Incoming Attack

252 Incoming Attack

The Black City was not far from the Great Wilderness City. Even with Su Bai’s full speed, it wouldn’t take long. The most important thing now was to report the situation here to the governor of Great Wilderness City.

At such a close distance, if anything happened to Black City, it would definitely affect Great Wilderness City. Therefore, this mission would use many teams.

“Understood.” Su Bai nodded and was about to leave.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man appeared. He was the governor of the Black City, Hao Wanyang.

The most eye-catching thing was that Hao Wanyang had a hideous Human-faced Spider hanging on his shoulder. Its pincer-like mouth was extremely sharp.

Its entire body was pure black, and there were grayish-white patterns on its body. When it was turned upside down, it looked like a human face.

“I am aware of the Beastmasters’ disappearance, and I’m here to solve this issue. Why don’t you listen to my ideas?” Hao Wanyang said.

Then, Hao Wanyang made a gesture of invitation to Su Bai. Su Bai did not refuse. He sat down again and observed the governor.

Hao Wanyang looked tired, especially with the dark circles under his eyes. He looked like he could faint at any moment. It seemed that because of what happened to the Black City, he had not slept well for a few days.

Xu Sanshu reported, “Mr. Governor, this matter can’t be dragged on any longer. We just encountered a Beast tide. There are no more Beastmasters in Black City who can continue investigating!”

Hao Wanyang shook his head and said, “That might not be the case. Xu Qingshan and his men are not weak. They must be in big trouble if they were able to fall into the trap. So, the most important thing now is time.”

“Su Bai, I can assign you more than 30 personal guards to help you continue your investigation. How about it?”

Su Bai looked indifferent, but his heart was moved.

No matter what, it was the right choice to rush back to the Great Wilderness City to call for reinforcements.

However, Hao Wanyang’s sudden appearance at this critical moment to stop him from returning to the Great Wilderness City was extremely abrupt.

Looking at it from another perspective, Hao Wanyang only had one goal. That was to prevent more foreign Beastmasters from getting involved in Black City’s mess.

Su Bai chuckled, “What do you think about the Beast tide today, Mr. Governor?”

Su Bai didn’t continue Hao Wanyang’s topic. Instead, he brought up the Beast tide. His purpose was clear.

Black City was having a hard time dealing with the Beast tide. If Hao Wanyang had the spare forces to send his personal guards to assist in the investigation, then it was contradicting his own words.

“Haha.” Hao Wanyang smiled bitterly. He said, “I know if it wasn’t for Su Bai’s help, our Black City would have suffered a great loss in this Beast tide.”

Hao Wanyang was no stranger to Su Bai. After all, he was involved with the Prestige Merchants Association, and he had even made great contributions in resisting the Beast tide today.

“I appreciate your good intentions, Mr. Governor. But this matter must not be delayed any longer.”

…

Hao Wanyang fell silent.

Su Bai didn’t know what Hao Wanyang was thinking about. Su Bai used his spiritual energy to sense and found out that Hao Wanyang’s emotional fluctuation was very weak.

This situation showed that Hao Wanyang had a calm and collected personality. Or perhaps… This person was very shrewd.

Not only did Hao Wanyang not show his emotions, he even had them under control.

Then, Su Bai left the hotel with Bing Qingqing and headed toward the Great Wilderness City.

As for Hao Wanyang, he instructed Mu Shuai to pay close attention to Black City’s movements before he left.

Mu Shuai thought Su Bai was overly suspicious, but he had no objection.

At this moment, it was never wrong to be more careful.

The journey was not smooth sailing, and the Beasts were more active at night than during the day.

Since the Golden Dragon was providing protection along the way, there were no issues.

ROAR!

After tearing apart a Beast, the Golden Dragon abruptly turned its gaze into the distance. A hint of displeasure flashed across its golden pupils as it felt threatened.

Then the Golden Dragon returned to Su Bai. Similarly, Su Bai also felt that there was something unusual in front of him. The mist was drifting in the sky and his vision was greatly obstructed.

Su Bai stopped and deployed his spiritual power to scout ahead.

Within a hundred meters ahead, there were a total of seven Beastmasters, as well as more than ten Beasts of different sizes.

Based on Su Bai’s observation, there were almost no traces of Beasts in the surroundings, which meant that the group of people had been there for a while.

They had appeared in the middle of the night in such a desolate mountain range. In addition, they had deliberately concealed their tracks and did not light a bonfire. Clearly, this group of people had ill intentions.

“Wait here, I’ll go over first.”

“Okay!”

Bing Qingqing nodded and carried the Four-eared Glazecat, looking around vigilantly.

At the same time, Su Bai was approaching the trees, but he soon realized that the other party had started to move at the same time and was running towards Bing Qingqing.

The other party was very fast and surrounded Bing Qingqing in just a few moments.

They were all wearing night clothes, so their faces could not be seen clearly.

However, they were all Gold-level Beastmasters. Such a large-scale operation was obviously not a last-minute robbery.

Su Bai went into stealth and stood aside, looking for a chance to strike.

“Who exactly are you?!” Bing Qingqing frowned, feeling uneasy.

The Beastmasters present didn’t reply, but they weren’t in a hurry to attack, either, as if they were imprisoning Bing Qingqing on the spot.

Bing Qingqing didn’t understand what was going on. However, as a soldier, she did not panic because of this. Instead, she was looking for a suitable opportunity to break out.

Soon, Su Bai, who was standing outside, finally found something strange.

This group of Beastmasters and Beasts was standing in a rather strange position. At a rough glance, the Beastmasters were in a circle, while the Beasts were in between the top and bottom points.

At the same time, there was a wave of energy fluctuation.

“That’s…” Su Bai’s eyes sparkled, and he reacted immediately, “It’s a teleportation circle!”

Each of these Beastmasters had a scroll with a magic circle engraved on it. Therefore, their goal from the beginning wasn’t to attack them, but to kidnap them!

Su Bai was about to take action, but he didn’t expect the magic circle to be activated.

In just a moment. Su Bai’s vision was blocked by a strong light. When he recovered, he appeared in a building.

The noise was coming from all around. Su Bai looked around immediately after he recovered his sight.

All kinds of Beastmasters were gathered here, and in the middle of the building, Bing Qingqing was imprisoned in a cage.

Facing the sudden situation, Bing Qingqing didn’t know what to do. She hugged the Four-eared Glazecat tightly in her arms.

“It’s the Salvation Sect…”

Bing Qingqing looked up at the pattern on the wall and revealed a hateful expression. However, she quickly calmed down.

Bing Qingqing knew that she couldn’t lose her sense of propriety at a time like this.

‘Su Bai wouldn’t have missed out on what those Beastmasters from the Salvation Sect had done. He would definitely take action.’ Bing Qingqing thought.

At that moment, a Beastmaster in a black robe strode over. After sweeping his gaze over, he asked coldly, “Why is one person missing?”
