When Zhao Mingli heard that millions of beasts were coming, he immediately informed the people he brought with him to prepare to leave South Sky City to hide.
If not for the fact that he was afraid of clashing with the people of South Sky City, he would have left long ago. And now, he only came over to greet Ye Tianze.
As soon as Vermillion Bird saw Zhao Mingli, an expression of disgust appeared on her face. This was the beast tide. If this was a time of war, and Zhao Mingli dared to shake the morale of the army, she would have already pulled him down and beheaded him.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave. How do you know that I can't hold on!" Ye Tianze replied with a smile.
"I've long heard that there are two great forbidden areas in South Sky City. One is the Yin Ruins, and the other is Cangwu Mountain. Now that the Yin Ruins are gone and the Cangwu Mountain beast tide is coming, how can South Sky City alone defend? It's not like those forces in the Southern Territory will underestimate your South Sky City."
Zhao Mingli said, "Don't blame me. If you want to retreat, I can help you mediate with the forces in the Southern Territory. But if you don't retreat, then …"
Ye Tianze smiled and directly grabbed his hand, saying, "Whether we retreat or not, I have the final say. If Lord Envoy doesn't stay here to live and die with me, it won't make sense."
"Live and die together?" Zhao Mingli looked at him in surprise, "Are you joking? These are millions of spirit beasts, not the forces in the Southern Territory. Furthermore, they didn't even use their private army!"
"I said we live and die together, so we live and die together!" Ye Tianze said with a cold face.
"Let go, let go immediately. Otherwise, I won't be polite to you!" Zhao Mingli also had a cold face.
This was not the time to be stubborn. He would not follow Ye Tianze to his death.
"From the moment you were bound to the interests of South Sky City, you are considered half a citizen of South Sky City. If you dare to leave, I will punish you according to military law!" Ye Tianze said.
"What military law?" Zhao Mingli asked curiously, "How come I've never heard of any military law? Also, don't get it wrong, I'm a member of the Zhao family, I have nothing to do with your Tian Nan City."
"The military law was set by me a long time ago. Those who dare to betray South Sky City, die!" Ye Tianze sneered, "Of course, you can also leave, unless you are willing to give up your spot in the Tianshen Dan. If you are not willing to give up, then just stay here obediently!"
Zhao Mingli stomped his feet in anger. Ye Tianze also let go of his hand and angrily said, "I don't care about the life and death of your Tian Nan City. If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"
He continued to walk as he spoke, but when he reached the foot of the city wall, he turned around and asked, "Why didn't you pull me along?"
"How to choose is up to you, but this choice will not be given a second time. If you are willing to stay, then from now on, you will be considered a part of Tian Nan City. I can even make you Tian Nan City's chief director!" Ye Tianze said.
"Pei, who wants to be your Tian Nan City's chief director. You really think you are something, I won't follow you to death … …" Zhao Mingli said as he stood in front of the stairs.
He waited there, neither going up nor going down, as if he was waiting for Ye Tianze to admit defeat. However, Ye Tianze did not speak, while Zhu Que revealed a faint smile.
She finally understood why Ye Tianze would let Zhao Mingli stay. This person seemed very bad, but in reality, he was very soft-hearted.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Zhao Mingli said, "Speak, what are the benefits of being your Tian Nan City's chief director!"
"There are a lot of benefits." Ye Tianze said, "For example, I can treat you as one of my own. However, this will depend on your performance!"
"Do I care about these things?" Zhao Mingli clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and hesitated for a long time, "You have to keep your word!"
"A gentleman keeps his word!" Ye Tianze said.
Zhao Mingli gritted his teeth, but in the end, he did not leave. However, he did not agree, and instead angrily left the city, but he did not say that he was leaving.
"This guy, it seems like he is a little different from the legendary Zhao family." Zhu Que said.
"No, the Zhao family is like this. However, the Zhao family is not completely useless, it just depends on how you interact with them." Ye Tianze said.
Zhu Que did not dare to agree, and said, "The Rosefinch Army is at your disposal!"
"Alright then, let them rest for a while. When Tian Nan City can't hold on anymore, then you all can make a move!" Ye Tianze said.
"Are you sure you don't want them to enter the city?" Zhu Que asked.
"The Rosefinch Army's duty is to protect the entire Southern Territory, not to deal with the beast horde. If Tian Nan City can't hold on, do you all want to fight against millions of spirit beasts?" Ye Tianze said. "Listen to me, if Tian Nan City can't hold on, don't make a move!"
Zhu Que looked at him coldly, then suddenly turned around, "Remember, before we get Zhu Que City, you can't die!"
Ye Tianze still wanted to say something, but Zhu Que had already left.
Under the bugle call of war, the entire Tian Nan City was mobilized. Tian Nan City had close to thirty thousand people, and close to ten thousand people were mobilized.
As for the Futian Clan's fifty thousand people, they mobilized twenty thousand people, including ten thousand people who had not returned from Cangwu Mountain.
In total, there were only thirty thousand people. Against the attack of three million spirit beasts from Cangwu Mountain, thirty thousand people were insignificant.
Zhao Mingli was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He wanted to leave, but he couldn't, not only because of Ye Tianze's promise, but also because of the existence of the array.
When the Futian Clan's tens of thousands of people were mobilized, Zhao Mingli went to the outer city. When he saw Bai Xiaoyao ordering people to distribute pills, Zhao Mingli was shocked.
At first, he thought that these pills were all healing Jade Void Pills, but when he took a closer look, he found that these pills were very familiar.
He pulled a Futian Clan's warrior over and snatched the pills, only to find that they were Earth-level Divine God Pills.
Zhao Mingli's expression changed, and he shouted angrily, "Where did you get these Divine God Pills? Who allowed you to use them?"
The Futian Clan's warrior saw that it was Zhao Mingli, and he was annoyed. He didn't care who the person in front of him was, and he said angrily, "What are you showing off for? These pills were given by the Lord. If you dare to touch me again, I will beat you to death!"
Zhao Mingli was not afraid. He knew that the Futian Clan's people were all bosses in Tian Nan City, and he was used to it.
But he found it strange that Ye Tianze had so many Divine God Pills.
Just as he was puzzled, Cao Shuang ran over and said, "Lord Envoy, what orders do you have?"
"What's the matter with these Tianshen Dan? Are you planning to use the Tianshen Dan of the major forces to defend the city?" Zhao Mingli said angrily, "Let me tell you, even if Tian Nan City is defended, if you don't hand in the pills next month, the other forces will destroy you. This is not a joke!"
"Lord, please calm down. These pills were not taken from the Pill Hall, but from Tian Nan City's stockpile." Cao Shuang said.
"Stockpile? Who are you trying to fool? Do you think I don't know how many pills Tian Nan City has? "Zhao Mingli said.
"There are less than five thousand pills in the stockpile …" Cao Shuang said.
"Five thousand pills!" Zhao Mingli interrupted, "How did you save five thousand pills? Moreover, five thousand pills is not enough for thirty thousand people! Are you trying to fool me? "
"The stockpile is naturally not enough, but … Just a while ago, Young Master Lan brought forty thousand pills. Thirty thousand of them were given by the Lord, and the rest … were bought back at the original price from the Jubao Hall." Cao Shuang said.
When Zhao Mingli heard this, he was stunned. The entire Tian Nan City only produced ten thousand Divine God Pills a month. Even if Tian Nan City secretly stored some, it was impossible to have so many.
Apart from the Jubao Hall, where did Ye Tianze get thirty thousand Divine God Pills?
It seemed that Ye Tianze was prepared to give a Divine God Pill to every cultivator in Tian Nan City!
He immediately shook off Cao Shuang and arrived at the Conferred God Temple. When he saw Ye Tianze in the middle of setting up a trap, he rudely interrupted, "Ye Tianze, explain to me, where did you get thirty thousand Heaven God Dans?!"
When Tangning and the others saw the aggressive Zhao Mingli, they were stunned. Zhao Mingli usually looked kind, but when he was angry, he was frightening.
Ye Tianze waved his hand, gesturing for them to leave. He said, "I refined them myself, can't I?"
"You refined them yourself?" Zhao Mingli stared at him. "Don't joke with me. Do you think I don't know what you're capable of?"
"Then, where do you think the Divine God Pills came from?" Ye Tianze asked.
"This …" Zhao Mingli was speechless. He said, "Didn't you hide the production from me?"
"You go to the Pill Hall every day. Don't you know how many pills they refine?" Ye Tianze said. "But I don't belong to the Pill Hall. The Divine God Pills I refine naturally don't belong to the Pill Hall."
Zhao Mingli thought for a long time. He said, "So, during this period of time, besides cultivating, you've also been refining Divine God Pills. Moreover … you've been refining at least five hundred pills every day!"
"I'm a Heaven Grade alchemist!" Ye Tianze said.
"You think I've never seen a Heaven Grade alchemist?" Zhao Mingli said.
"I was the first to refine the Divine God Pills. No one knows the Divine God Pills better than me. What do these Divine God Pills count for?" Ye Tianze asked.
"You … You … How many secrets are you hiding?!" Zhao Mingli suddenly felt like an idiot.
"If you're willing to be Tian Nan City's general manager, I'll tell you. Moreover … You're only half a citizen of Tian Nan City. You have to abide by Tian Nan City's rules." Ye Tianze said.
"Don't try to trick me!" Zhao Mingli said. "I won't fall for your trick!"
"Are you going to do it or not!" Ye Tianze said seriously.
"I …" Zhao Mingli clenched his teeth. After thinking for a long time, he said, "I'll be harmed by you sooner or later. I'll be harmed sooner or later!"
"If you become Tian Nan City's general manager, I'll tell you all of Tian Nan City's secrets in the future." Ye Tianze said. "Make your own choice. You only have one chance. If you miss it, there won't be another!"
"As if I'll believe you!" Zhao Mingli's face was cold. "Fine, I'll be your Tian Nan City's general manager. You should tell me your secrets!"
"Wait until the beast wave is over. I'll tell you step by step." Ye Tianze said.
Zhao Mingli felt that he had been tricked by Ye Tianze, but he couldn't resist this temptation.
A few days later, the news of the beast wave spread throughout the entire Southern Border. All the major powers were ready to make a move, especially the Dutian Clan.
At this time, the people of the Futian Clan had also returned to the South Sky City. A day later, the Beast Tide surged in from all directions like a tidal wave.
On top of the city walls, Zhao Mingli looked at the flood of beasts and shivered. He immediately thought of retreating, "How … how do we deal with this. If Tian Nan City is not trampled, I will follow your surname Ye. No, I have to leave quickly. What kind of chief steward is this? Staying alive is more important!"
