The overwhelming beast horde stretched as far as the eye could see. The cultivators on top of the city walls could feel the entire Jade Void Mountain quaking. As for the city, it was as though there was an earthquake as it kept shaking.
"Seventh Rank Spirit Beast … Eighth Rank Spirit Beast … Ninth Rank Spirit Beast … It's over, South Sky City is really finished this time …"
The people on the city walls were trembling. The beast tide was not like the invasion of the Three Sects, Seven Schools, or the Four Aristocratic Families. These spirit beasts would not give up until they reached their goal.
According to past beast tides, the spirit beasts would either lose more than a third of their army or flatten a human city. Otherwise, they would not give up.
The beast tide in front of them was more than just an army. They had seen millions of soldiers of the Monster Clan, but it was not as shocking as this dense group of spirit beasts.
"Why is there such a huge beast tide!" Lan Yuheng was nervous. He had already prepared the flying shuttle. If the situation was bad, he would leave with his people.
Beast tides would occur in human territory, but the intervals were long. Basically, humans would predict the arrival of a beast tide and prepare for it in advance.
The beast horde in front of him had already surpassed any beast horde he had ever seen. He was afraid that it would require the combined forces of the Three Sects and Seven Schools to be able to stop it. This was not something that Tian Nan City could withstand.
"A beast tide like this shouldn't happen in South Sky City. These spirit beasts are breaking the rules!" The people on the city walls discussed.
Everyone looked at Ye Tianze, especially Zhao Mingli, who asked with suspicion, "Are you hiding something that can threaten the survival of the spirit beasts?"
Ye Tianze immediately thought of the Tree of Life. If South Sky City was allowed to develop, the Tree of Life's range would continue to expand.
But what he cared about now was not the beast tide in front of them, but the reason behind it.
At this moment, a member of the Futian Clan walked over and said, "My Lord, we are back. We found a huge secret in Cangwu Mountain!"
Everyone looked over. The fifty thousand members of the Futian Clan were divided into five hunting teams. Only ten thousand people would go out each time, and the rest would rest in the city.
This old man was the leader of one of the hunting teams. Although he was only in the Early Stage of the Immortal Realm, his strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Peak Immortal Realm expert.
If not for the restriction of his bloodline, he would have been much stronger.
"That's right, these spirit beasts all came from Cangwu Mountain. It must be the people of the Futian Clan who angered the spirit beasts of Cangwu Mountain, causing this beast tide."
"They overdid the hunting and triggered the beast tide. It's no wonder the beast tide happened. Now, the entire city is finished!"
Hearing that, the clansmen of the Futian Clan remained silent. They didn't bother to explain. If they were wrong, they would naturally accept it.
When he saw that the people around him were looking at his clansmen with disdain, Tang Tianjun was a little indignant. He said, "If it was my clansmen who started the Beast Tide, we would naturally be the first to fight the Beast Tide!"
"We will not back down!" On the city walls, the Futian Clan members roared in unison.
"Done!" Ye Tianze interrupted them. "I've said it before. Since you've entered Tiannan City, there's no distinction between the old and the new. There's no distinction between the Futian Clan and the Dutian Clan. Tell me, what's the secret?"
Everyone immediately fell silent. Under the pressure of countless spirit beasts, everyone felt as if there was a mountain pressing down on their hearts. Except for Zhao Mingli, almost no one said that they wanted to back down.
"We found a … a city in the depths of Cangwu Mountain!" Said the leader of the hunting team. "Our clansmen went deep into the city and were surrounded. Fortunately, we retreated quickly. When we wanted to investigate further, the beast tide happened."
"That city … doesn't look like it was built by humans. Moreover … it's very old. It doesn't look like it was built by the Yao Clan either!" said the vice leader of the hunting team.
"A city!" Zhao Mingli came over. "Wasn't it built by the Yao Clan and the Yao Clan? There's such a place in Tiannan's Cangwu Mountain? "
"There's no record of such a place in the national records of Tiannan," said Tangning as she stepped forward.
"Yes, the Yuxu Sect used to be the overlord of the Tiannan Eight Countries, but … ever since the Yuxu Sect was founded, they inherited many things, but there's no record of Cangwu Mountain's city," said Cao Shuang.
"No matter what kind of city it is, but … since it's something that the spirit beasts of Cangwu Mountain want to protect, it's naturally important," said Ye Tianze. "I was still worried about how to deal with this beast tide. Now, the opportunity has come."
Everyone was confused. Lan Yuheng, on the other hand, said, "Boss, take me with you!"
Zhao Mingli suddenly understood. "You're not thinking of ignoring these millions of spirit beasts and running to Cangwu Mountain to attack the spirit beasts' nest, are you?"
"Aiyo, Master Zhao is indeed smart." Ye Tianze patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave the heavy responsibility of guarding the city to Master Zhao. You'll be in charge of coordinating everything in Tiannan City. Everyone will listen to your orders!"
Zhao Mingli was stunned when he heard that. The cultivators of Tiannan City were also stunned. One of them thought, 'Are you crazy? You want me to guard the city?'
The cultivators of Tiannan City also thought that Ye Tianze was crazy to let Zhao Mingli guard the city. This guy would probably turn tail and run for his life the moment he left.
Without waiting for the two sides to speak, Ye Tianze said, "From now on, Master Zhao Mingli will be the chief steward of Tiannan City. He'll be in charge of coordinating everything inside and outside the city. Tangning, Cao Shuang!"
"Yes, sir." Tangning and Cao Shuang stepped forward and looked at Zhao Mingli strangely.
"When I'm not around, all decisions in Tiannan City will be made by Master Zhao," said Ye Tianze. "Understood?"
"Un … Understood." Tangning and Cao Shuang were somewhat unwilling.
In their hearts, they felt that Zhao Mingli was incompatible with Tiannan City. If they let him be the chief steward, he would probably run away during wartime. Normally, he would think about how to plunder Tiannan City's resources and secrets.
Wouldn't the Divine God Pill's recipe be directly given to the Zhao family?
But Ye Tianze's orders were not to be questioned. Even if they had objections, they could only keep them in their hearts. Moreover, they knew that Ye Tianze never did anything stupid.
Zhao Mingli's face was bitter. He wanted to refuse. A million spirit beasts, you brat, run away by yourself. You want me to live and die with your damn city? You're dreaming.
"I don't want to be the chief steward!" Zhao Mingli refused. "I'm leaving now. Don't drag me down with you!"
Ye Tianze pretended not to hear him and said, "No matter who it is, even including me, if they dare to violate Tiannan City's laws, everyone has the right to kill them. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.
Zhao Mingli finally understood. If he dared to run for his life after Ye Tianze left, he would definitely be torn apart by the people of Tiannan City.
"Brat, I'm talking to you. Didn't you hear me?" Zhao Mingli said angrily, "I'm not from Tiannan City. I don't want to be your bullshit chief steward!"
"You're being modest. However, I believe in Master Zhao's ability. He will definitely be a good chief steward."
Ye Tianze said with a smile, "Everyone must assist Master Zhao well. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Everyone said in unison. They all looked at Zhao Mingli strangely.
Especially the people of the Futian Clan. Their eyes seemed to be saying, if you dare to run away, we will immediately tear you apart.
"…" Zhao Mingli.
He finally knew. Ever since he came to Tiannan City and decided to set up camp here, he had already fallen into Ye Tianze's trap.
Unfortunately, he only found out about Ye Tianze's scheme now. It was already too late. Now, millions of spirit beasts had surrounded Tiannan City.
