Although Beiguan Town has a high city wall and a strong moat, the strength of the military and civilians in the town, including himself, is still a little low. If they encounter a strange beast with a strong impact like the Red Cloud Golden Armored Elephant again, once the city gate is broken, all the people in the city will be hard to escape. With this Red Cloud Golden Armored Elephant, defending the city will be much easier.
With a flash of light, the contract between heaven and earth came into effect, and the last red cloud golden armored elephant became the city lord's mount.
The soldiers and civilians on the city wall cheered again, knowing that with this Red Cloud Golden Armored Elephant, Beiguan Town would be even more impregnable, and their own lives and those of their loved ones would be more secure. Looking at Mu Hanyan, their eyes were filled with gratitude and respect.
After finding the sword master for several Red Cloud Golden Armored Elephants, Mu Hanyan turned her head again to look at the other strange beasts.
The situation was obviously different from the last time in Fangjia Town. The strongest Red Cloud Golden Armored Elephants had surrendered and took the initiative to offer the Lord-Pu Contract, but the other strange beasts did not surrender.
This is no wonder. With the powerful strength and defense of the Red Cloud Golden Armored Beast, its temperament is so gentle. It is an outlier in the entire alien beast clan. Other alien beasts are not so easy to tame.
However, Mu Hanyan was not in a hurry. Under the ancient power of the Aolai beast, she was not afraid that these guys would not surrender. It was just a matter of time.
"In the name of Aolai, I command all the beasts in the world. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who defy me will perish!" Mu Hanyan recited the contract with the divine beast again.
Behind him, almost everyone looked expectant.
Although the strength of the remaining exotic beasts varies, and the strongest among them is far inferior to the Scarlet Cloud Golden Armored Elephant, their strength is not that strong either. As long as they can have one with similar strength to themselves as a sword pet, it is a blessing earned in the previous life.
There are more than 500 people coming to Luoan City this time. If each of them has a sword pet with similar strength to their own, how majestic and imposing it would be. Even Tan Taixuan's group would probably be drooling with envy when they see them.
This was of course also Mu Hanyan's idea, but it was not to compete with Tan Taixuan, but to not disappoint her grandfather, the He family's patriarch, the old patriarch Zhang and others who had high hopes for her.
Since I was the one who brought them out of the capital, I must do my best to bring them back alive.
As she recited the Divine Beast Contract over and over again, Mu Hanyan felt a slight tingling sensation in her sea of consciousness. She realized that as the Divine Beast's memories gradually awakened, the effectiveness of the contract grew, but the drain on her spiritual power also multiplied. She hadn't noticed this last time in Fangjia Town.
Fortunately, under the might of the divine beast, more than a dozen strange beasts comparable to sixth or seventh-level swordsmen chose to surrender.
"Whoever wants these exotic beasts, discuss it among yourselves." Mu Hanyan said to the children of the aristocratic families behind her.
In fact, when she was reciting the contract with the divine beast again, the children of each family had already discussed the result. The young elites of the He family, Yan family, Zhang family and several affiliated families came forward, and Mu Chengxuan and Mu Renda from the Mu family were among them.
Previously, in order to win people's hearts, Mu Hanyan put He Qingzong and Yan Yi at the forefront and gave them enough face, but she did not choose her own children. This made He Qingzong and Yan Yi grateful and secretly ashamed at the same time, so when discussing, she specially reserved a few more places for the Mu family.
Of course, these exotic beasts were originally tamed by Mu Hanyan, so even if she gave them all to the Mu family members, they would have no objection. Doing so would just be generous to others and act magnanimous.
Soon, the young men from various families who came forward had chosen their favorite sword pets. Probably in order to grasp the last glimmer of opportunity to compete for the position of family head, He Qingzong tried his best to win over He Qingwei, and also chose a fire-eyed cloud leopard with him that was comparable to a sixth-level swordsman.
Although their strength is not as good as the previous Red Cloud Golden Armored Elephants, these strange beasts are all known for their ferocity. Although they may not be as good at attacking cities and capturing strongholds, they may not be much worse in fighting on the battlefield.
The young man holding the sword was naturally overjoyed and thanked Mu Hanyan repeatedly. Because the young men of the He and Yan families, as well as several affiliated families, had actually joined Mu Hanyan under the coercion of He Qingwei and Yan Yuchu, these people had been somewhat reluctant before, but at this moment, they were completely convinced.
If they had known that following Mu Hanyan would bring such great benefits, even without the coercion from He Qingwei and Yan Yuchu, they would have tried their best to persuade the young masters of each family to join Mu Hanyan.
Among all the people, only Mu Chengqi had a miserable look on his face.
Given his age and talent, he stood out among the branch clan's young masters. Even within the main clan, he was only marginally inferior to recognized geniuses like Mu Hanyan and Mu Chengxuan, and certainly stronger than the others. If he had put aside his jealousy and taken the initiative to befriend Mu Hanyan, she would have certainly given him some preferential treatment.
Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now. Looking at the high-spirited Mu Renda and several other young masters of the branch families, Mu Chengqi regretted so much that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
"Fortunately, there are still some strange beasts that have not surrendered and are quite powerful. We can still wait for the next group." Mu Chengqi could only comfort himself in this way.
This time, taming the strange beast was more difficult than in Fangjia Town. While Mu Chengxuan and others were choosing sword pets, Mu Hanyan took a few elixirs, restored his energy, and continued to recite the contract with the divine beast.
"Roar..." At this moment, the roar of a beast sounded.
The figure of a strange beast came running from afar, appearing a dark red color in the night, like a piece of burning charcoal floating towards them.
"Nine Netherworld Beast!" Others didn't know the origin of the strange beast, but Mu Hanyan felt its aura that was completely different from the strange beasts on the Holy Court Continent, and was shocked.
Soon, the underworld beast arrived outside the city and stood far behind the large group of strange beasts. In the night, the dark red flames appeared and disappeared from time to time, giving people a weird feeling. Only its two eyes were unusually clear, like two bonfires burning in the distant night, but they were full of murderous and violent intent, making people feel inexplicably depressed.
As the dark beast roared, another oppressive aura enveloped the area out of nowhere. The strange beasts that were about to surrender showed confusion in their eyes. Then, bloodthirstiness and violence rose from their eyes again, and they let out low roars.
"Not good!" Mu Hanyan didn't expect that the pressure of this Nether Beast could actually compete with the ancient power of the Aolai Divine Beast, and she was even more shocked.
"In the name of Aolai, I command all the beasts in the world. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who defy me will perish!" Mu Hanyan activated the Divine Martial Soul Refining Technique, concentrating his divine thoughts to the extreme, and recited the Divine Beast Contract again.
"Roar..." The dark beast also roared towards the sky.
One man and one beast, each trying their best, two different kinds of pressure enveloped them, and all the strange beasts crawled on the ground, their eyes sometimes clear, sometimes confused, but they could not muster the slightest bit of resistance.
Two different pressures collided violently, one wave stronger than the other. With another roar from the Nether Beast, Mu Hanyan's chest seemed to be hit by a huge rock, and she almost vomited blood. The Nether Beast was probably also seriously injured. The pair of blood-red eyes hidden in the night suddenly dimmed, and it took a few steps back.
Mu Hanyan and the Nether Beast stared at each other from a distance, and neither of them dared to use their pressure again.
