Chapter 70: Yu Xiaogang: Blue Silver City Wants to Get Rid of This Big Trouble (Please vote, subscribe, and reward)
"Have you spotted any 100,000-Year Soul Beasts?"
"How many?"
Lan Tian wasn't concerned about the so-called Spirit Beast threat. He looked at Lan Zheng and asked curiously, his tone calm, as if he were shopping for goods in a market.
He knew about the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape's bond with the Old Rabbit in the Star Dou Great Forest. It was highly likely they were leading the charge, though he wasn't sure if other fierce beasts had joined in.
At the very least, the mental-type Spirit Beast hadn't shown itself openly.
As for the two that had appeared, he was already prepared.
Perhaps he could even use this Old Rabbit to lure the two 100,000-Year Soul Beasts over.
Since their bond was so deep, the whole family should be together.
To become the spirit rings for his sons!
"Currently, we've confirmed sightings of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python."
His attitude gave Lan Zheng more confidence, and he explained the situation.
These two were openly known as Spirit Beast Emperors discovered by humans, and those who had spotted them were now unreachable.
'They're really cautious.'
So, the mental-type Spirit Beast hasn't appeared yet.
Lan Tian wondered how to lure out the hidden individual, whether it was human or beast.
Lan Zheng, seeing the situation, asked,
"Father, should we control who enters and exits?"
"Many people want to leave Blue Silver City now. Those guys... this guy is a bit dark-hearted and really wants to drag people down as cannon fodder."
"No need. If anyone wants to leave, let them go. A few Spirit Beasts aren't worth resorting to such unscrupulous methods."
Understanding the other party's meaning, Lan Tian had no intention of detaining anyone.
In his opinion, those people might become trouble; on the contrary, he wished for those with ideas to leave.
"Understood."
Lan Zheng didn't argue and obediently followed the arrangement.
"Keep a close eye on matters within the city; don't let it fall into chaos."
"Let Little Poison go scout the 100,000-Year Soul Beasts and determine the location of the beast tide's movements. There's no need to engage. Just bring back the information if you find 100,000-Year Soul Beasts, and I'll make my move."
"You brothers should be ready to support Little Poison at any time to prevent any accidents."
Lan Tian didn't ponder for long and quickly made his arrangements.
His goal was clear: the 100,000-Year Soul Beasts. Once they were dealt with, the other Spirit Beasts would flee on their own.
"Now I'll recover my state. If there's nothing else, that's all."
After all, he had just been drained by the Goddess of Life, and he might need to fight with full strength again soon.
Lan Tian quickly shooed them away.
"Yes…"
Lan didn't waste words and quickly nodded.
Lan Xiu, who was nearby, also followed the instructions and went out to help. Soon, only Lan Tian and Xiao Lan remained.
They didn't say anything more.
Monitor the city if it needed monitoring, cultivate and recover if it needed cultivating.
The two tacitly busied themselves.
If there was an emergency, Xiao Lan would decide whether to wake Lan Tian.
With Lan Tian's instructions, news of the beast tide was not concealed at all; it spread actively.
This sped up the departure of those planning to leave. Blue Silver City's defenses remained as strict as ever, with more teams dispatched, and teams near the Star Dou Great Forest were continuously recalled to avoid accidents, as casualties had already occurred.
Dugu Bo also took action personally after receiving the order.
"Those 100,000-Year Soul Beasts are really daring. With Blue Silver City's strength, they're probably just coming to deliver spirit rings and Spirit Bones."
"I heard the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape are moving together. If there are other hidden 100,000-Year Soul Beasts, it's really uncertain."
"Indeed, I heard there are other 100,000-Year Soul Beasts coming for that transformed Spirit Beast."
"Isn't that transformed Spirit Beast fake?"
"Who knows if it's real or fake? Maybe the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are working together to deceive people?"
"Who knows what's going on with those great Sects!"
"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. I just hope it doesn't affect the city."
"Don't talk nonsense. The city guard isn't to be trifled with."
Messages spread among ordinary Spirit Masters. Most people didn't know the truth and could only guess. Some didn't wish Blue Silver City well, especially those from previously destroyed settlements, but there were still some who believed Blue Silver City couldn't possibly have an accident.
And at such times, it became even more chaotic.
Those who wanted to leave sped up their departure, not wanting to be surrounded by the beast tide.
Those who didn't want to leave gathered many friends to prevent accidents in the event of an emergency within the city.
"Heh, a beast tide, they deserve it."
"This Blue Silver City should be destroyed in the beast tide."
"Let those Spirit Beasts eat them, let Spirit Hall destroy this Blue Silver City."
Walking on the main road, Yu Xiaogang's face was gloomy. Listening to the occasional news from other Spirit Masters, and seeing people and Spirit-powered vehicles leaving the city in droves, some even organizing anti-beast teams to fight for Blue Silver City, he cursed in his heart.
This vibrant, lively Blue Silver City, in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, was nothing but filth; he saw no beauty in it.
He was devastated by Tang Xiao's death.
He had just emerged from the deaths of Tang Hao and Little San, only to be struck down again. His ideal of cooperation among the Upper Three Sects had ended before it even began.
So, at this moment, Yu Xiaogang wandered the streets in a daze, listening to others' evaluations of Blue Silver City.
Like a stray dog by the roadside, homeless.
He agreed with those who were dissatisfied with Blue Silver City and secretly cursed those who praised it in his heart.
He no longer had disciples, no brothers or friends, and his family ties were tenuous; he was all alone.
After his father came here, he had no desire to meet him.
Or rather, he didn't want to go to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's residence, preferring to pay for lodging outside.
It was only under threat from his second uncle that he occasionally returned.
As he passed through a small alley, intending to go to a small tavern, a figure silently appeared behind him.
A hand landed on his palm.
It was clear the other party was very powerful; at least, Yu Xiaogang, a level 29 Spirit Grandmaster, was completely defenseless.
"Who are you? Do you know who I am?"
"I…"
Yu Xiaogang immediately wanted to announce his name to intimidate the other party.
He was somewhat panicked inside, forcing himself to speak calmly.
He worried it might be some desperado, or an enemy of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan trying to cause trouble, and he also worried Blue Silver City had sinister intentions toward him.
He hadn't avenged Little San yet, hadn't seen Spirit Hall and Blue Silver City fight like dogs, hadn't seen the Upper Three Sects cooperate to take down Spirit Hall and Blue Silver City.
'Damn Blue Silver City, what kind of garbage city guard is this?'
'They wouldn't be trying to take this opportunity to get rid of me, this big trouble, would they?'
Insidious and cunning Blue Silver City, even more evil than Spirit Hall."
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, various thoughts racing through his mind. Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
The man wore a black cloak, his voice somewhat sinister. As he spoke, a few figures passing by didn't notice them, or rather, truly didn't see them.
"Don't worry, I just want to be friends with you."
"Grandmaster Yu, I've been observing you for quite a while."
"We have the same goal."
The continuous words made Yu Xiaogang sigh in relief, and he understood that the other party was clearly targeting Blue Silver City.
If the other party was truly targeting the evil Blue Silver City, then there was no problem.
"Who are you?"
"What do you want to do?"
Assured of no danger, Yu Xiaogang lifted his head, assuming the air of an intellectual.
