Chapter 1201: Beast Attack on the City (2)
Editor: Henyee Translations

“A few months ago, the beasts of the Great Thousand Mountains, who have held grudges against our Tian Shuang City for a long time, suddenly gathered a large army and came to attack the city,” explained the young lady in the feathered robe.

“And according to some information, the scale of this beast army is no small matter. The entire strength of Tian Shuang City has been mobilized to confront them.”

“Even our City Lord is currently at the front lines, facing the beast army.”

“If you’re asking about a major event, this is it.”

With her explanation, Jiang Chengxuan’s doubts were completely resolved. The suspicion he harbored was now confirmed.

However, the severity of the situation was beyond his imagination.

He had guessed that there might be a beast riot in the Great Thousand Mountains, catching the attention of the City Lord and prompting the mobilization of an army to suppress it. But he never expected that the beasts would gather their forces to actively attack Tian Shuang City!

Though these two scenarios might seem similar on the surface, their implications were vastly different.

Beasts are not foolish; they have been in conflict with Tian Shuang City for generations and understand the city’s power well. The fact that they chose to gather forces and attack the city this time raises significant questions about their motives and what might be driving them.

“Thank you. I must take my leave now,” Jiang Chengxuan said.

After purchasing some beast blood as a gesture of gratitude, Jiang Chengxuan left the Beast Blood Pavilion without hesitation and headed to his next destination.

Knowing about the beast army’s attack on Tian Shuang City, Jiang Chengxuan could not sit idly by. As a human cultivator, it was his duty to stand against external invasions. Moreover, if Tian Shuang City fell, it would be incredibly difficult for him to escape through the unfamiliar Great Thousand Mountains.

With this in mind, Jiang Chengxuan moved quickly through the streets of Tian Shuang City. Using the special token given to him by the City Lord, he passed through without hindrance. Soon, his figure, surrounded by celestial light and spatial fluctuations, appeared inside a grand teleportation hall.

Instantly, the group of armored cultivators bustling inside the hall turned their heads in astonishment, not recognizing this sudden arrival.

“This is the Twenty-fourth Battle Camp of Tian Shuang City. Who might you be?” a stern-faced cultivator in black iron armor asked, walking over with heavy steps.

This was one of Tian Shuang City’s battle camps. Given the current crisis with the beast army, an unfamiliar face like Jiang Chengxuan’s naturally aroused suspicion.

“I am from the City Lord’s mansion. Here is my token. Take me to the front lines,” Jiang Chengxuan replied, his expression cold as he handed over a token.

The token bore the emblem of the City Lord’s mansion, with a prominent “Shen” character in the center.

Seeing this, the stern-faced cultivator was taken aback and immediately became more respectful.

This token indicated that Jiang Chengxuan was a trusted confidant of the City Lord, giving him the right to freely enter and leave the mansion. The request to go to the front lines was something they had to fulfill without delay.

“My apologies, esteemed immortal. Please follow me.”

Led by the black-armored cultivator, Jiang Chengxuan hurried through corridors. Before long, he could feel the intense energy fluctuations and the violent clashes of numerous cultivators.

The deafening roars traveled for miles, filling the air with an overwhelming sense of dread.

Emerging from a dark passage, Jiang Chengxuan was greeted by the sight of a blood-red sky. The scorching atmosphere filled the void, with fierce winds howling over the massive platform before him.

This was the inner wall of Tian Shuang City. Looking into the distance, he could see the towering outer walls, even higher than the mountain ranges.

With his heightened senses, Jiang Chengxuan detected several dark figures hidden in the shadows, their eyes as vast as stars, observing everything within Tian Shuang City.

Even through the city’s protective barrier, their auras were incredibly formidable, sending chills down one’s spine.

“Sir, ahead is the battlefield. Please be cautious,” the black-armored cultivator warned, unwilling to approach further.

Nodding, Jiang Chengxuan activated his celestial power and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the battlefield.

As the scenery blurred past, the full view of the battlefield unfolded before him.

Outside the colossal city walls, a sea of beasts of all shapes and sizes filled the area. Some flew with wings spread wide, while others crawled on the ground.

The sky was thick with a horrifying beastly aura, creating the blood-red sky.

Amidst the howling beastly winds, each beast’s red eyes shone with a relentless fury. Their immense celestial power surged like tidal waves, sending waves of energy crashing against the city walls.

Among them were many beasts at the Transformation Immortal Realm, and even some at the Ascendant Immortal level!

“Boom! Boom!”

Under such an onslaught, the city walls constantly rumbled with thunderous noises, enormous balls of light flickering and dissipating, unleashing destructive energy.

“Though the battle is fierce, it is still probing…”

Hovering above the battlefield, Jiang Chengxuan observed and analyzed the situation.

Despite the overwhelming beastly presence and violent killing intent, the most terrifying auras had yet to truly act. Even Tian Shuang City’s side seemed to be holding back.

In the face of the beast army’s attack, the city could only defend passively. The commander seemed aware of the beasts’ probing intentions, thus relying on the city’s defensive formation to fend them off.

Only after three waves of beastly assaults did he command the city’s cultivators to counterattack, using celestial treasures to strike back at the beast army.

However, this did not mean Tian Shuang City was entirely at ease. This particular front might still be in a stalemate, perhaps not the main focus of the beast army. Alternatively, the beasts might be testing the city’s defenses, preparing to launch a massive attack if they found a weak spot.@@novelbin@@

Understanding the battle situation, Jiang Chengxuan descended onto a section of the city wall. Presenting his token to the wary, armored cultivators, he was promptly led to the commanding officer.

“Is that you, Daoist Jiang? It’s a pleasure to meet you! I’ve heard you were in seclusion for a breakthrough. Judging by your presence, you must have succeeded! Congratulations!”

On the observation tower at the front, Jiang Chengxuan was greeted by a middle-aged man with a resolute face, who approached him with enthusiasm. This took Jiang Chengxuan by surprise.

“Just a minor realization. May I know your name, Daoist?” Jiang Chengxuan responded, cupping his hands in respect and asking.

“My surname is Wan, a long-time elder of the City Lord’s mansion. I’ve heard much about you from the City Lord. It’s an honor to finally meet you.”

Elder Wan laughed heartily, explaining that he was one of the City Lord’s trusted aides and knew of Jiang Chengxuan’s mysterious background and considerable strength. Hearing of Jiang Chengxuan’s timely arrival during this critical period, Elder Wan was overjoyed.

“I see. A pleasure to meet you, Elder Wan,” Jiang Chengxuan replied with a smile, engaging in conversation.
