As for Hua Yue and the others, their strength is already quite high, so there is no need for them to choose sword pets from the exotic beasts under the city. Their strength is far inferior to theirs, and if the battle really comes, they will not only be of no help, but will also hinder them.
Seeing that everyone had finished their selection, Mu Hanyan prepared to take back the contract with the divine beast and let those relatively weak beasts leave. She believed that the contract spell of the Aolai divine beast had left an indelible fear in their hearts, and they would never dare to invade Fangjia Town again. Besides, those strong ones who were equivalent to sword masters had already become sword pets of the head of the Fang family and others. Even if they dared to come, they would be dead.
At this moment, several screams filled with fear were heard not far away, and several strange beasts ran over with their heads lowered. They were the iron-backed saber-toothed tiger that had escaped earlier, the two dragon-scaled fire-patterned rhinos, and the earth bear.
Everyone was shocked to see these powerful beasts coming back, but there was no longer any panic on their faces.
Having seen the strength of Mu Hanyan, Hua Yue, and the others, they no longer took these exotic beasts seriously. Some of the Fang family members and the Chamber of Commerce guards even drew their swords, a strong desire to fight surged in them. Having just acquired sword pets, and with Mu Hanyan and the others behind them, they had the courage to fight even such powerful exotic beasts.
Unfortunately, they didn't get the chance to strike this time. As soon as they reached the city wall, the Ironback Sabretooth Tiger was the first to prostrate itself on the ground, followed closely by the Dragonscale Fire Rhino and the Earth Violent Bear, all wailing in agony.
Several rays of contract light also emerged from their bodies at the same time. The other half of the contract light, of course, appeared on Mu Hanyan's body.
It was not until this time that everyone realized that these strange beasts had not fled far away, but were hiding not far outside the city, watching the changes outside the city. They were probably unwilling to retreat and were still waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
As expected of a ninth-order exotic beast, its cunning far surpassed that of ordinary beasts. Unfortunately, this time, their cunning backfired. The entire ten-mile radius was enveloped by the pressure of the divine beast contract. They had already been frightened and fled by the strength of Hua Yue and the others, and with fear already in their hearts, how could they withstand the might of the ancient beast king?
Several powerful strange beasts knelt pitifully on the ground, lowered their proud heads, and looked at Mu Hanyan pitifully.
"You choose." Mu Hanyan said to Hua Yue and others.
She hadn't expected such a surprise just as she was about to end her contract with the Divine Beast. However, these beasts were still a little weaker than her Great Swordsmanship and couldn't be of much help. It would be better to give them to Hua Yue and the others, where they would be more useful.
"I'll choose the Iron-back Sabre-toothed Tiger." Huayue said.
"I choose the dragon-scaled fire-patterned rhino that I just abused." Zirong pointed and said.
"I choose another one." Jiang Yuzhe said.
In the end, Tang Bufan naturally chose the Earth Bear, which was as powerful as him.
While their choices were certainly related to their previous encounter, they also had a different rationale. Hua Yue's Thunder Sound Sword Sweep was a defensive move, leveraging the opponent's force. The Iron-Backed Iron-Tooth Tiger's attacks perfectly complemented their sword attacks, while Zirong and Jiang Yuzhe's innate magical powers were offensive without defense, making them both extremely dangerous. Jiang Yuzhe, in particular, was at his peak energy level the moment he revealed himself. With the Dragon Scale Fire Rhino's powerful defense, they were much safer.
Tang Bufan's innate magical power, which is like a madman, will definitely be greatly enhanced in combat power with the assistance of the Earth Bear, which is also known for its ferocity.
The laws of heaven and earth came into effect, and several strange beasts such as the Iron-backed Saber-toothed Tiger also entered the sword pet space and disappeared before everyone's sight.
Mu Hanyan then put away the contract with the divine beast. Everyone felt a lightness in their body. The strange beasts that were trembling under the divine beast's might also looked up in surprise.
"I will let you live today, but if you dare to invade Anyun's city and pond again, I will kill you without mercy!" Mu Hanyan's clear and pleasant voice spread throughout the earth.
Mu Hanyan considered slaying every alien beast beneath the city walls, but on second thought, she discarded the idea. Since ancient times, alien beasts and humans have coexisted on this continent. At least a million years ago, after the alien beasts retreated to the Longyan Mountains, the two sides had lived in peace, save for occasional clashes and small-scale alien beast raids on cities near the borders of various nations. She was almost certain that this large-scale attack on the human city was related to the Nine Netherworld Prison, and she didn't want to kill innocent people.
The most important thing is that there are thousands of strange beasts below. With their manpower, they can just defend the city, but if they really want to fight to the death, it will still take a lot of time. She doesn't want to stay in Fangjia Town for too long.
Most of the strange beasts in the city should be able to understand human language. Even if some of them can’t, it doesn’t matter. Mu Hanyan believes that they will understand.
Those strange beasts had already been frightened to death. When they heard these words, they felt as if they had been pardoned and fled in panic towards the distant Longyan Mountains.
Soon, Fangjia Town returned to peace again.
After surviving the disaster, people from the chambers of commerce in various places recalled the crises of the past few days with lingering fears. The guards guarding the city and the children of the Fang family were under tremendous pressure and were exhausted. Once the crisis was completely resolved, they almost didn't have the strength to stand.
Mu Hanyan told them to return and recuperate, leaving the compensation to the various chambers of commerce to Patriarch Fang. However, they were still overjoyed at having a sword pet and didn't make any excessive demands, simply asking for some compensation for the wounded and deceased guards. The Nanyan Chamber of Commerce was short of everything except silver, so compensation was a minor matter.
After speaking a few words to Patriarch Fang, Mu Hanyan hurried to meet Qu Shanling.
What Mu Hanyan never expected was that in addition to Qu Shanling, Mu Cheng was also there.
"I have asked Mu Cheng to stay here these days and didn't even tell the head of the Fang family." Qu Shanling saw Mu Hanyan's surprise and explained.
Mu Hanyan quickly understood his intention. Leaving Mu Cheng behind was clearly to protect the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool. However, with the city under attack by alien beasts and even the members of the major chambers of commerce desperately fighting, he stayed behind to help Qu Shanling protect his master's former residence. Not only would the chambers of commerce officials object, but even the uninformed Fang family head might have some complaints, hence the secrecy.
"Master Qu, Mu Cheng, thank you for your hard work." Mu Hanyan said with emotion. Seeing that Mu Cheng was safe and sound and Qu Shanling's injuries were not serious, Mu Hanyan did not give them any pills.
