There were a total of 17 people sitting in a circle in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion. The person sitting on the main seat was a middle-aged man. He was tall and sturdy, had a square face, and looked somewhat ferocious. In addition, his expression was somewhat ugly, which made him look even more furious.
The middle-aged man was called Saint Kuang Li. He was the Saint of the Ancient Saint Sect who was in charge of guarding Zhenshan City. As for the dozen people below him, they were all experts of the City Lord's Mansion.
Saint Kuang Li's hoarse voice rang out as he glanced at the crowd below with his fist.
"According to the latest news, the scale of the Wind Ghost attack has reached at least 2 million. What do you think we should do?"
Everyone had gathered here because of the Wind Ghost's attack. This time, the scale of the Wind Ghost's attack wasn't small. Facing such a scale of Wind Ghost's attack, Suppressing Wind City obviously had to prepare countermeasures in advance.
There were as many as 20,000 Wind Ghosts. This was a great pressure on Zhenshan City. Moreover, who knew if the number of Wind Ghosts would continue to increase when they finally attacked?
Everyone fell silent after hearing Saint Kuang Li's words. After a long while, one of the people below Saint Kuang Li spoke.
"Lord Sacred Master, let's activate the Ancient Saint Token. The City Lord's Mansion alone is not enough to deal with the Wind Ghost attack of this scale."
He proposed to use the Ancient Saint Token. After all, there were only so many people in the City Lord's Mansion. It was impossible to resist the attack of more than 2 million Wind Ghosts. Therefore, they could only issue the Ancient Saint Token and mobilize everyone in Zhenshan City. Only then would they be able to repel the Wind Ghost attack.
Saint Kuang Li nodded slightly and said, "In my name, issue a Level 1 Ancient Saint Token. All cultivators in Zhenshan City are to be at the disposal of the City Lord's Mansion from now on."
Soon, a Ancient Saint Token was issued from the City Lord's Mansion. Everyone who received the Ancient Saint Token had different expressions. Some were worried, while others were excited.
However, there was one thing that was the same. Once the Ancient Saint Order was issued, everyone had to obey it. In other words, all the warriors in the Wind Suppressing City had to obey the orders of the City Lord Mansion from now on. Otherwise, the City Lord Mansion had the right to kill them.
After the Ancient Saint Order was issued, the entire Wind Suppression City became noisy. Everyone knew that the scale of the Wind Ghost's attack this time would not be small. Otherwise, why would the City Lord Mansion issue the Ancient Saint Order?
Less than an hour after the Ancient Saint Order was issued, the first order from the City Lord Mansion was issued. In Zhenshan City, all practitioners whose cultivation had reached the Dao Querying Realm had to gather at a designated inn before nightfall. There would be deacons from the Ancient Saint Sect who would arrange accommodations for everyone.
All the martial artists above the Dao Querying Realm were gathered. As for martial artists below the Dao Querying Realm, they had nothing to do with them.
In the face of the Wind Ghost's attack, martial artists below the Dao Querying Realm were almost useless. They only had one task, which was to take care of the logistics. As for the battlefield, they were not qualified to participate.
Like the others, after receiving the order, Xiao Chen also came to one of the inns designated by the City Lord Mansion. This inn had been requisitioned by the City Lord Mansion and was specially provided for Dao Querying Realm martial artists and above to stay.
When Xiao Chen stepped into the hall on the first floor of the inn, a soldier from the City Lord Mansion took the initiative to welcome him.
"Friend, please register here."
Everyone who came to the inn had to register. Of course, it was very simple. It was nothing more than name, cultivation, and the faction that they belonged to.
After the simple registration, the soldier from before led Xiao Chen to his residence. As there were too many people, it was naturally impossible to arrange for each person to have a room. In the room that was arranged for Xiao Chen, there were already three other people. Their cultivation was the same as Xiao Chen's, which was the Dao Querying Realm.
It was obvious that the City Lord's Mansion differentiated the cultivators with different cultivation levels. Furthermore, according to their cultivation levels, they were treated differently.
For example, Dao Querying Realm martial artists had four people to a room. Dao Querying Realm martial artists had eight people to a room. Dao Gate Realm and Dao Transformation Realm martial artists had two people to a room. Dao King Realm, Dao Emperor Realm, and Half-saints had one room each.
The higher the cultivation, the better the treatment. Xiao Chen didn't have any objections to this. Moreover, the soldier even explained in a courteous manner.
"Brother Xiao Chen, because there are too many people, we can only put up with it for now. But don't worry, my City Lord's Estate will provide for all your needs during this period of time. Once we've repelled the Wind Ghost, my City Lord's Estate will compensate you accordingly. I hope Brother Xiao can be understanding."
In order to unite everyone's strength to resist the Wind Ghost's attack, the City Lord's Mansion naturally wouldn't be stingy. Not only would they be responsible for everyone's living and cultivation needs, they would even provide compensation when the time came.
Xiao Chen nodded with a smile when he heard the soldier. Xiao Chen didn't object to the actions of the City Lord's Estate at all. Even though the environment was a little harsh and four people to a room, it couldn't be helped. It was an extraordinary period.
After exchanging some pleasantries with the soldier, the soldier left while Xiao Chen strode into the room.
At this moment, everything else in the room had been moved away. Only four futons were left in the corner of the room.
After nodding to the other three, Xiao Chen went to the only empty futon and sat down cross-legged.
Before the Wind Ghost's attack broke out, everyone didn't need to do anything. They just needed to cultivate in peace.
In just a day, all the cultivators at the Dao Querying Realm and above in the entire Zhenshan City had been gathered by the City Lord's Estate. They were distributed in 90 inns. After counting, the number of people had exceeded 300,000.
300,000 people was indeed a large number. However, compared to the two million Wind Ghost, it was nothing.
Moreover, more than half of the 300,000 people were at the Dao Querying Realm and Dao Validation Realm. There were more than 200,000 people, followed by 70,000 Dao Gate Realm and Dao Transformation Realm cultivators. As for Dao King Realm and Dao Transformation Realm cultivators, there were less than 20,000.
As for Half-Saints, there wasn't a single one.
Just as the City Lord's Estate was nervously preparing to deal with the Wind Ghost's attack, a piece of information that made Saint Kuang Li's expression change drastically came back.
Previously, they had sent a Half-Saint Deacon of the Ancient Sacred Sect to check the situation in the periphery of the Wind Plain. Now that the news had come back, even Saint Kuang Li's expression darkened. A trace of disbelief flashed through his eyes.
