This time, Lu Xuan had left the Jiuhua Alliance and come to Dongtai City alone. His goal was, of course, to see Su Ye.
This gentle woman had not only saved his life, but she was also his wife in name. Lin Xinyi, Zhao Binger, and the others were no match for her.
It was a pity that their reunion had been far too brief. It was so brief that Su Ye almost thought that everything was just a dream. Only when she saw the warriors that Lu Xuan had left behind to protect her was she able to confirm that everything was real.
Lu Xuan had heard from Xia Xi about the recent situation in Dongtai City. Naturally, he knew Su Ye's situation was not easy. Lu Xuan was worried about leaving her alone in Dongtai City, which was becoming more and more chaotic. So, he temporarily left some of the Jiuhua Alliance's warriors to assist Su Ye. Whether it was to protect her or to suppress the chaos in Dongtai City, they could at least relieve some of the pressure on Su Ye.
In total, Lu Xuan had left seven people behind. Compared to the strength of this battle against the Beast Tide, these seven people were more than enough to suppress everything in Dongtai City.
The leader was the grandson of Jiuhua Alliance's Elder Long Boming. He was Long Ming, an acquaintance of Lu Xuan in the ancient forest. Long Ming was already quite strong back then, and now he was in the Great Virtual Realm. The other six were all in the late-stage of the Returning Origin Realm. In the Central Plains, they were strong enough to stand above the rest.
After a short meeting in the garden pavilion, Lu Xuan left Dongtai City alone and headed for the border of the Nine Dragons Dynasty. He didn't tell Su Yeming who he was, only that he was here with the Jiuhua Alliance to help the Central Province fight off the wild beasts. He told Su Ye to wait for him, and that he'd come to find her when things were over.
Su Ye did not try to persuade Lu Xuan to stay. She knew that she could not make Lu Xuan stay. She only hoped that Lu Xuan would be able to return from the battle against the Beast Tide in one piece. Even if he did not come looking for her, as long as he was alive, that would be good enough.
Long Boming was a senior elder of the Jiuhua Alliance. He had been assisting Ye Wuhen in managing the affairs of the Alliance. Long Ming was deeply loved by him, so he naturally cultivated him with all his might. Not to mention governing a city, even governing a country was a piece of cake for him.
With Long Ming helping Su Ye with the city's affairs, the pressure on Su Ye was greatly alleviated. Long Ming had no complaints about Lu Xuan leaving him here instead of going to the borders to fight against the beast tide and reap the credit. In his opinion, Lu Xuan was destined to take over the position of Alliance Master in the future, and his grandfather, Long Boming, also hoped that Lu Xuan could take over his position. This time, it was considered a practice and a test. If he couldn't even manage a small city like Dongtai City, he wouldn't be qualified to manage the affairs of the Jiuhua Alliance in the future.
Countless demonic beasts were stationed at the border of the Nine Dragons Dynasty. The Nine Dragons Dynasty's border army was also on standby, ready to fight against the Beast Tide at any time.
The Jiuhua Alliance split up the fourth-rank sects and the idle warriors they had gathered. They combined them with the Jiuhua Alliance's own powerhouses and divided them into seven legions. Several Jiuhua Alliance elders with extraordinary strength were assigned to lead them so that they wouldn't fight on their own.
Lu Xuan, Ye Wuhen, and the other six stayed together. They didn't split up into different legions. Fighting against the Beast Tide was the job of the warrior legions. Lu Xuan and the others only had one goal, and that was to deal with Saul.
Because they didn't spend much time in Dongtai City, Lu Xuan, Ye Wuhen, and the others arrived at the border of the Nine Dragons Dynasty almost at the same time. As the largest military town of the Nine Dragons Dynasty, Yanhui City, located in the northernmost part of the city, was now empty. Most of the civilians had already been organized by the dynasty to evacuate to the south in an orderly manner.
Although they had been forced to leave their homes, few people had any complaints. Almost everyone in Yanhui City had witnessed the devastation caused by the Beast Tide. As long as one stood at the top of the city wall and looked into the distance, they would be able to see the devastation caused by the Beast Tide. During this time, there were even some demonic beasts that rushed to the top of the city wall, intending to enter the city and kill. Fortunately, they were all intercepted by the Nine Dragons Dynasty's border.
Now, in such a large Yanhui City, aside from a few civilians who were unwilling to leave, almost everyone was from the Nine Dragons Dynasty's garrison. There were also some Jianghu warriors who heard about the Beast Tide and came to help. The entire city was filled with a somber atmosphere.
Lu Xuan and the others stood at the top of the city wall and looked into the distance. Everyone had excellent eyesight, and within their field of vision, they could see many demonic beasts wantonly walking on the road. From time to time, they would raise their heads to look in the direction of Yanhui City, not bothering to hide the ferocity in their eyes.
Standing shoulder to shoulder with Lu Xuan and the others, aside from the Jiuhua Alliance's own people, was a heavily armored man who looked like a general. He was obviously the general who guarded Yanhui City.
Speaking of this general, Lu Xuan was no stranger to him. In fact, he had some dealings with him before. This man was the Prince of Zhennan of the Nine Dragons Dynasty — Xia Zhengwen. Years ago, when Lu Xuan lost his memory and entered the Central Plains, he was saved by Su Ye. However, he was hunted down by Beibo Ruo's people and fled all the way to Yangan City. It was Xia Zhengwen who appeared and scared off the pursuers, allowing Lu Xuan and Su Ye to escape unscathed.
Although he knew the identity of Ye Wuhen and the others, Xia Zhengwen was not too reserved. However, there was a trace of respect from the bottom of his heart. This was the respect a warrior had for the strong. He, Xia Zhengwen, was not only a general of the Nine Dragons Dynasty, but also a warrior. But what surprised Xia Zhengwen even more was that the kid who protected Su Ye during their escape, who was only in the early stages of the Origin Realm, was actually the Young Alliance Leader of the Jiuhua Alliance. What's more, his current strength was unfathomable. It wasn't something that Xia Zhengwen could investigate clearly.
"Your Highness, in your opinion, when will the Beast Tide attack?" The person in charge was still Lu Xuan. At this moment, he was discussing with Xia Zhengwen about the battle. Now that the Beast Tide had not taken the initiative to attack, whether they should attack or defend was still up for discussion.
"At most three days." Xia Zhengwen raised three fingers and said with certainty, "During this period of time, I have been observing the movements of the Beast Tide. They seem to have been forcefully suppressed by someone. Not only did they not attack immediately, but they also lingered here for a few days, as if waiting for our people to gather."
"However, these demonic beasts clearly can't hold back these few days. Not only are they charging into the city in twos and threes, but more and more demonic beasts are gathering here, as if they want to finish the battle in one fell swoop. Originally, I was a little puzzled as to why this Beast Tide is so different. After hearing that the Soul Clan is controlling it from behind, I finally understood. "
Lu Xuan nodded lightly, "Your Highness's thoughts coincide with mine. Saul's goal is most likely to recover his strength. A normal person's soul power is weak, so even if he kills eighty to a hundred thousand, it won't be of much use to him. However, if he can annihilate the entire Nine Dragon Dynasty's border army here, I'm afraid his strength will recover at least seventy to eighty percent, if not all. "
Xia Zhengwen laughed heartily, "This Saul's appetite is really big. Originally, I wasn't confident in facing this huge Beast Tide, but now that I have your alliance's help, let's see how big his appetite is. Is he afraid of being stuffed to death?"
Lu Xuan also smiled and looked into the distance, "Your Highness, do you dare to lead the army out of the city with us and take the initiative to attack first?"
Xia Zhengwen was slightly stunned, then he said heroically, "Why wouldn't I dare to block the enemy's entrance?"
