Facing Zhao Ying, Wu Chang didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He turned to Hua Yuling, "Palace Lord Hua, Mystic Ice Pavilion is bullying our Wu Clan. Are you just going to sit back and do nothing? If the Old Palace Lord was here, he wouldn't just sit back and do nothing, right? "
Hua Yuling furrowed her brows slightly. The Old Palace Master again. The Wu Clan had once saved the Peony Palace Master's life, so they naturally thought that the Peony Palace would take care of her. However, after so many years, the Peony Palace had helped the Wu Clan even less? If it wasn't for that, how could the Wu Clan become one of the top clans in Hundred Flowers City?
She then said, "Since you think the Old Palace Lord won't sit back and do nothing, then you can ask the Old Palace Lord to step in. But let me remind you, even if the Old Palace Lord was here, he might not be a match for Sister Ying. A Great Void Realm expert isn't that easy to deal with."
As soon as she said this, everyone was shocked. The way they looked at Zhao Ying suddenly changed. Zhao Ying actually broke through to the Great Void Realm!
The ladies from Mystic Ice Pavilion didn't react to this news as they already knew about it. Instead, Lu Xuan asked with surprise and joy, "Master, you broke through to the Great Void Realm?"
Zhao Ying smiled, "It happened two months ago. Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you."
Zhao Ying had been stuck at the peak stage of the Origin Realm for a long time. But because she lacked the continuation of the Mystic Ice Heart Sutra, she couldn't find the opportunity to break through. It wasn't until she received the complete Mystic Ice Heart Sutra from Lu Xuan that she was able to comprehend the Mystic Ice Law and successfully step into the Great Void Realm.
"Congratulations Master for breaking through!" Lu Xuan congratulated. Because of him, Mystic Ice Pavilion lost two elders, Nangong Shuo and Su Chuanan. They thought that Mystic Ice Pavilion's strength would drop, but they didn't expect Zhao Ying to break through to the Great Void Realm. Now, Mystic Ice Pavilion's strength increased instead of dropping. How could two peak stage Origin Realm experts compare to one Great Void Realm expert?
At this moment, Wu Chang's face was ashen. No wonder Zhao Ying was able to send him flying with a casual wave of her palm without any ability to resist. It turned out that Zhao Ying had already reached the Absolute Void Stage. The two of them were on completely different levels.
Now, he no longer dared to mention revenge. He had clearly heard Hua Yuling's words. Hua Yuling called Zhao Ying Elder Sister Ying. Obviously, the relationship between the two was not ordinary. Without the support of the Peony Palace, how could he fight against the Mysterious Ice Pavilion? How could he fight against Zhao Ying?
"Wu Chang, I gathered all of you because I said I had something important to announce. However, I didn't announce it because the people from the other rank four sects weren't here yet. Since you threatened me and don't want to participate in the fight against the beast tide, I won't beat around the bush," said the Hundred Flowers City Lord in a deep voice.
"The Beast Tide this time is not as simple as you think it is! It involves so many things that even I don't have the right to know the details. According to the news from the Jiuhua Alliance, the Beast Tide didn't just happen near our Hundred Flowers City, and it didn't just happen in the Peony Palace's territory. The entire Jiuhua Alliance's territory was hit by a beast tide at the same time! "
The Hundred Flowers City Lord's words shocked everyone present. A trace of horror flashed across Lu Xuan's eyes. Didn't this mean that a beast tide had also appeared in the Mysterious Ice Pavilion's territory?
He immediately turned to look at Zhao Binger. Zhao Binger understood Lu Xuan's meaning. She nodded lightly and said, "That's right. Every place under the Mysterious Ice Pavilion's jurisdiction has experienced a beast tide."
"Then, what's the situation at the Wind Sword School? And Lin City. " Lu Xuan couldn't help but ask. What he was worried about had finally happened. He hoped that his father and sister were fine …
"Don't worry. The current leader of the Wind Sword School is Yang Yi. When he learned about the beast tide, he immediately sent the warriors of the Wind Sword School to Lin City. The beasts in Lin City aren't strong. Although they caused some trouble, the casualties weren't great," Zhao Binger replied. She was naturally concerned about Lu Xuan's hometown.
Lu Xuan was relieved to hear this. If something really happened to his father and sister, it would be too late for regrets. However, he also made up his mind that once this was over, he would definitely go back to see his father and sister.
"What exactly is the reason for such a large-scale beast tide?" Hua Yuling asked the Lord of Hundred Flowers City. If it was just a beast tide in one area, it might be a small matter. However, a beast tide suddenly appeared in such a large area at the same time. The reason behind this was definitely not simple.
The Lord of Hundred Flowers City shook her head gently. "I don't know either. The Alliance didn't send any more specific information. They only said that the fourth-rank sects will come to Hundred Flowers City after the beast tide subsides. Because …"
The Lord of Hundred Flowers City looked into the distance and said, "The Hundred Thousand Mountain Range is over there."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hearts of everyone sunk ceaselessly. For the sake of ensuring the safety of one side, all the Fourth Rank Sects would encircle and annihilate the demon beasts in the surrounding mountain ranges every once in a while. So, when the beast tide erupted, the various Fourth Rank Sects would be able to annihilate the beast tide very quickly. However, Hundred Flowers City was an exception because it was close to the Grand Myriad Mountains.
If the Jiuhua Alliance ordered all the fourth-rank sects to bring their strongest to Hundred Flowers City, the signal was clear. There would be a beast tide in the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range. Once the countless beasts charged out, Hundred Flowers City would be the first target.
"In order to prepare for the next wave of beasts, not only will the six fourth-rank sects of the Jiuehua Alliance gather here, but the Alliance will also send its own people. When the time comes, there will be a bloody battle." The Lord of Hundred Flowers City glanced coldly at Wu Chang. "If the Wu family believes that this beast tide has nothing to do with you, and you don't want to get involved, then immediately take your family and move out of Hundred Flowers City. We don't need to protect you."
When Wu Chang heard this, his heart trembled. This was the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range! Who knew how many Yao Kings there were there? Six fourth-rank sects had come to help, and the Jiuhua Alliance had even sent its own people. One could only imagine how terrifying it was. How could the Wu family defend against it outside of Hundred Flowers City? A single Yao King could flatten his entire family with a single stomp.
Wu Chang laughed dryly. "You jest, Lord. How could the Wu family have such thoughts? I was just saying it out of anger."
"I'm not joking!" The Lord of Hundred Flowers City's face was solemn. "Why did a great family like yours appear? It's because when trouble comes, you need to be at the forefront. You don't need to act like a tyrant! Without the Wu family, the Jiuhua Alliance will be able to raise another family that's even stronger than the Wu family in two or three years.
"If you want to keep your family alive, then in this battle, you need to show a reason for your continued existence! If anyone doesn't put in the effort, hmph, I don't need to tell you what will happen. When that happens, no one will be able to protect you! " The Lord of Hundred Flowers City's eyes swept from Wu Chang to He Xuesong, the head of the He family. Her words were clearly directed at the two family heads present.
Both of them shuddered inwardly and dared not say anything more. He Xuesong, in particular, felt extremely relieved. He had wanted to ask Lu Xuan for Qin Yueyi, but he held himself back after receiving Luo Xianghan's reminder. Now that he saw what happened to Wu Chang, it was only natural for him to gloat. The Wu clan was an established clan, while the He clan was a newly established clan. There was no doubt that there would be competition between the two.
At that moment, another group of people arrived. It was the other fourth-rank sects, the Thunder House and the Bone Eroding Cave.
Lu Xuan wasn't a stranger to the Thunder House. In the battle of the ancient caverns, the Thunder House had participated, and they seemed to be on good terms with the Ice Pavilion. However, the genius disciple of the Thunder House, Yun Qi, had chosen to ally with Leng Qingqiu, so Lu Xuan didn't have much to do with them.
As for the Bone Eroding Cave, though Lu Xuan hadn't had any dealings with them, he'd heard of them. Unlike the other fourth-rank sects, the Bone Eroding Cave didn't fight with their own strength, but with their poisonous insects!
Of all the fourth-rank sects in the Alliance of Jiuhua, the one they feared the most wasn't the Everlasting Gate, which ranked first overall. Rather, it was the Bone Eroding Cave, which ranked just below Xuan Bing Pavilion. Its countless poisonous insects and parasites were impossible to defend against. Once caught, they were extremely difficult to deal with.
Though the Thunder House and the Bone Eroding Cave had joined forces, they didn't have much to say to each other. The Thunder House specialized in controlling lightning, and hated the Bone Eroding Cave, who played with poisonous insects. The Bone Eroding Cave didn't have a good impression of the Thunder House, which naturally countered poisonous insects.
"Greetings, Lord Shen. On orders from the Jiuhua Alliance, I, Lei Xiuyuan, and a group of elders and disciples of the Thunder House have come to Hundred Flowers City to help." The leader of the Thunder House saluted the Lord of Hundred Flowers City.
Lu Xuan had an impression of this man. His name was Lei Xiuyuan, the current lord of the Thunder House. He'd led the expedition to the ancient caverns. Lu Xuan didn't think he'd come to Hundred Flowers City himself. He did everything himself. He was a rare leader.
Lu Xuan quietly asked Zhao Ying, "Master, is the Lord of Hundred Flowers City surnamed Shen? Although I fought with him, I still don't know his name. "
Zhao Ying couldn't help but laugh. "You kid, why do you always get into fights with people? Not long after we arrived, you started fighting with the Lord of Hundred Flowers City. "
Lu Xuan smiled awkwardly. "It wasn't a fight. We were just learning from each other. Before the fight was over, the beast tide came. We had to stop."
Zhao Ying shook her head. She knew Lu Xuan well enough to know that he must have done something that forced the City Lord of Hundred Flowers City to make a move, which was why the fight broke out. She then said, "The City Lord of Hundred Flowers City is called Shen Rong. He was considered a genius back in the Jiuhua Alliance, but for some reason, his cultivation stagnated all of a sudden. He asked to be the City Lord of Hundred Flowers City."
Lu Xuan was surprised. He didn't think his master knew so much about the Jiuhua Alliance.
