C545 siege
Yang Junshan went south. When he had just landed on the ground after entering the Southern Viewing County's territory, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The "Nine Translators of the Mountain Technique" that he cultivated was an extremely profound cultivation technique of the Earth Elemental Faction. The nine true essence that he had mastered was exceptionally sensitive to the earth, and together with the Earth Splitting Spirit Art and other superpowers, the moment his feet landed on the ground, he immediately felt a slight vibration coming from far away.
Was this an earthquake, a volcanic eruption, or a battle between divine abilities?
However, one thing was certain, the place of the explosion must have been thousands of miles away, and that place should have been deep within the Coldjade mountain range.
Yang Junshan slowly headed south. About 500 miles later, he felt a strong surge of spiritual power coming from hundreds of miles away in the south.
Yang Junshan's expression changed. Judging from the distance that his spiritual energy was fluctuating, he could tell that that was the direction of the Southern Viewing City.
From a geographical point of view, the Southern Viewing County was indeed located in the center of the Southern Viewing County. However, because there were countless wild beasts and savage beasts threatening the entire Liang Yu mountain range, the center of gravity of the entire county shifted to the north, while the southern region near the Liang Yu mountain range was sparsely populated. This led to the entire Southern Viewing County becoming a bridgehead fortress facing the Liang Yu mountain range.
Thinking of the possibility of an earthquake from the depths of the Liangyu Mountain Range, could it be that the Southern Viewing City was being attacked by a beast tide?
Perhaps it was because of this, but they might have already rushed out of the Cold Jade Mountain Range before the earthquake happened. If this was the case, then there was a possibility that they might have formed a beast tide that would attack the county.
While Yang Junshan was rushing over to the Southern Viewing County, Daoist Master Chen, who was in charge of all matters in the Southern Viewing County, was listening to the sect disciples' reports on top of the city wall.
A wave of beasts surged out from the Liang Yu mountain range. There were roughly ten thousand beasts in the NanWang County, and about two-thirds of them headed towards the Southern Viewing City.
Adept Pure Dust promptly sealed the city gates and activated the great defensive formation, blocking the first impact of the beast tide on the county city.
Senior Brother, out of the ten outposts located at the southern border of the county, six of them have already lost contact. The remaining four outposts and eight disciples of our sect have been injured as well, and are currently avoiding the pursuit of wild beasts. From the information they have received, it should be a large earthquake in the Coldjade mountain range, causing the beasts there to swarm out.
Daoist Master Chen raised his head to look at the sky. Next to him was his fellow junior brother, who was at the great perfection stage. He followed Daoist Master Chen's gaze to the sky, only to discover that there was nothing in the sky other than surging clouds.
He heard Daoist Master Pure Dust ask, "Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, do you know if there's a beast tide happening in the surrounding counties? Have you already spread the news of the beast tide attack to the sect?"
Lin nodded and said, "The news has already been sent back to the sect, but there has yet to be any feedback from the surrounding counties."
Adept Wu Chen's gaze remained fixed on the sky. He didn't even bother to look at the crowd of beasts that had gathered outside the city. He then asked, "Did you send a message to the mighty warriors of the Zhou and Cai families? What did they say?"
Lin Lin's expression did not look too good as he said: "The Zhou and Cai Family replied that there was also a monster tide roaming outside their family's manor. Heh, they said that they would rush to the county town to assist once all the surrounding beasts have been cleared."
Since the two families are so ignorant, then there is no need for the Daoist Master to not bother with them. Tell the two of them that they must reach the county city within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Otherwise, if the county city is breached, then the two families will no longer have any need to exist in Nanxiang County.
Lin Jing nodded his head and said, "It should be so. These family forces want to value their own interests more than anything else. If it were not for the protection of the sect, this Nanwan County would have been plowed by the beast tide countless times already!"
Lin Fan paused for a moment before continuing, "However, Senior Brother, although this beast tide is not small, there are no dire beasts leading it. That Zhou and Cai family may be hateful, but aren't they making a big fuss over nothing?"
The Adept Wu Chen finally turned his head. He expressionlessly looked at Lin Jingxuan and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid this matter is more complicated than you think!"
The clouds in the sky immediately churned, and a pair of giant golden claws suddenly stretched out from the clouds. As the giant claws descended, the entire cloud layer started to sink, and then suddenly exploded outwards. A huge body suddenly swooped down from the clouds, with a pair of wings about fifty feet wide open.
"White-headed Eagle, it's the dire beast, White-headed Eagle!" Lin Lin exclaimed.
As he said this, the giant eagle swooped down, and the grand formation protecting the entire county city was immediately torn apart by a pair of huge claws. The entire county was immediately filled with screams and screams, and quite a few courageous Martial Disciples shot their sacred arts at the giant eagle, but were unable to injure it in the slightest.
"Evil creature, how dare you!"
Daoist Master Chen suddenly let out an explosive shout and rushed down towards the giant eagle's belly. His entire body was still in midair, yet he had already turned into a huge ice spike.
The giant eagle instantly felt the threat and flapped its wings. Violent winds rose into the air, and dust and dust rose from the ground at a distance of over ten Zhang, as its entire body shot up high into the sky.
"Chi chi." Although the icicle pierced through the air, the cold air seemed to carry a sticky substance as it pulled a few feathers off the eagle's tail feathers.
In a single exchange, the Daoist Master Chen was able to push back the vicious white-headed eagle in the Coldjade mountain range. When the defenders of the county saw this, they immediately broke out into cheers.
Moo!
But right after, an earth-shattering roar of cattle drowned out the cheers, causing the smiles on everyone's faces to freeze on them.
The sound of heavy footsteps suddenly came from the wilderness outside the county, and the sound was getting faster and closer. Even the ground began to shake, and ripples began to appear on the surface of the water in the tank.
A huge bull over seven feet long and five feet tall came running over. The beasts that had been trying to avoid it along the way were either stomped or knocked into the ground. Its pair of sharp curved horns was more than two feet long, and it looked even more terrifying than a pair of scimitars.
The Mountain Crash Bull, the one that had grown into a dire beast, truly had the power to crash into a mountain!
Seeing that the enormous bull was about to collide against the protective barrier of the grand protective formation, Adept Purified Dust knew very well that even if the formation could withstand it this time, if the enormous bull came two or three more times, the entire protective formation would probably collapse as well.
The deity formed a seal with her hands and shouted, "Firm!"
An ice wall instantly formed in front of the protective array, but immediately after, it was turned into a pile of crushed ice by the Mountain Colossal Bull. However, this ice wall eventually slowed down the Mountain Bull's charge, and when it finally slammed into the protective array, its speed was clearly greatly reduced.
Even so, the light barrier of the defensive array had already caved in due to the impact from the giant bull. It was aware that the giant ox had slammed into the wall of the county.
The entire city wall shook with the noise. Countless mud bricks fell off the wall with a "Hua La La La" sound. Many initial stage Martial Disciples with insufficient cultivations all fell to the side. When they looked at the mountain bull, their eyes were filled with fear.
"Two dire beasts!"
The Pure Forest cried out in surprise. However, he suddenly noticed Daoist Master Chen's stern gaze and hurriedly shut his mouth. He then heard Daoist Master Chen ask, "If it was a sect, how long would it take?"
Lin Lin didn't know how to respond, when a long howl came from the distance. There, on a small hill about three to five miles away from the county, a giant, silver-gray wolf was squatting and howling towards the sky.
More than ten giant wolves, each over five feet tall, appeared one after another behind the small hill, each with the strength of a savage beast. The wolves looked towards the direction of the city from afar, and as the Silver Grayhead Wolves suddenly jumped off the hill, the ten giant wolves hurriedly followed. A wolf with only a dozen or so heads, unexpectedly, gave off a domineering aura as it ran, and along the way, the giant beasts all retreated to either side to make way for them.
"Wild Wolf!" The Pure Forest shrieked and immediately understood the reason why the Adept Wu Chen had asked him about the arrival of reinforcements from the sect. With the power of the Adept Wu Chen alone, he had to fend off the two dire beasts, but if the three beasts attacked the county city at the same time, even he could only run for his life.
Fortunately, at this time, another two streams of light came from the back of the county. A middle-aged cultivator with a pale complexion and a muscular man with a full beard directly went through the town's defensive array and landed on the city wall where Daoist Master Pure Dust was.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Pure Dust, there's no need to panic. I'm here with Fellow Daoist Cai!"
The burly, bearded man laughed as he spoke. He swept a glance at the situation in the city, then turned to the middle-aged cultivator with the white beard and said: "Fellow Daoist Cai, it seems that we came at the right time. If we had been any later, Fellow Daoist Pure Dust might have been able to fight against the three beasts by himself."
Taoist Cai also laughed and said, "As the saying goes, 'better come than better come by coincidence!'"
The Daoist Master Chen's gaze flashed with ridicule as he looked at the gathering of more and more beasts below the city. He said in a low voice, "Coincidentally, it's true. If you guys had been any later, I'm afraid that you wouldn't have dared to come!"
"Phew! Phew! Phew!" A giant pig suddenly lowered its head to sniff the ground as it moved towards Southern Gaze County. Along the way, all the other beasts were knocked over by the giant pig.

Since he had something to do at home and had yet to find the time to type, he could only stay up late.
A new volume has begun. I hope that everyone will continue to support me.
