Chapter 1162: Man-Made Beast Tide

The guards at the city gate were shocked when they saw Lu Yang. After listening to the students' descriptions, it was clear that Lu Yang was facing a situation where there was no chance of survival. Could this be explained by the means of saving his life?

Lu Yang returned to Muxue City surrounded by students, which was out of place in the tense atmosphere of Muxue City.

A beast tide is approaching, and the entire city of Muxue is preparing for war. All the cultivators are recruited.

Lu Yang returned to the martial arts hall and asked the students to go home. Today's extracurricular activities were very successful.

The martial arts hall was empty. Lu Yang asked people nearby and found out that the city lord had summoned all the cultivators in the city to fight against the beast tide. Uncle Murong and his fellow cultivators were also summoned there.

"Speaking of which person caused this beast tide?"

Lu Yang was lying on the bed, muttering to himself as he recalled the remnants of magical powers similar to the beast taming technique he had discovered in the bodies of the four demon kings.

This means that this beast tide is not a natural disaster as outsiders believe, but a real man-made disaster.

"Are you planning to use the beast tide to destroy Muxue City?"

The four demon kings were controlled by the Beast Taming Technique. The caster must be a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. It would be easy to destroy Muxue City with the power of a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

"Are you unwilling to do it yourself, or do you have other intentions?"

Suddenly there was a noise coming from the martial arts hall.

"Did you see the expression on Deputy City Lord Ma's face? It was hilarious. I thought he would just have a gloomy face, but it turns out he has other expressions."

"Alright, alright, keep your voices down. If Deputy City Lord Ma's people hear us, we'll be finished."

When Lu Yang went out, he saw that it was the sect leader, Uncle Murong, and his disciples who had returned.

"Xiao Lu, are you okay? I heard that you took the children to hunt monsters outside the city. I was scared to death." Uncle Murong said with concern.

"Lucky, I didn't run into any powerful monsters."

"Hey, I'm not bragging about your luck, it's really good. When you went out, there was a beast tide coming. You would have been doomed if you encountered it."

"Yes, yes, that was a beast tide that could destroy the city. Even the city lord was helpless." The inner disciples spoke in unison. They had lived for so long, but this was the first time they encountered the legendary beast tide.

Lu Yang smiled but said nothing.

"I heard from my neighbors that you were all transferred by the city lord to deal with the beast tide?"

"That's right. I thought I almost died this time." Uncle Murong slapped his thigh with lingering fear.

"Don't worry, sit down and talk slowly." Lu Yang said with a smile, "I just happened to catch a few wild rabbits outside the city. Let's roast them together."

"Oh, that's great." Uncle Murong was smiling happily, and his disciples were also very happy. The Far North is a desolate place, and eating barbecue is one of the few entertainment activities.

Lu Yang skillfully set up the barbecue grill and listened to Uncle Murong telling stories while grilling.

"At first, we were very scared when Deputy City Lord Ma summoned us there. That was a beast tide. What's the point of us going there to practice Qi and build foundation? We are just going to die."

"The guy surnamed Ma hypocritically said that this is all for the continuation of Muxue City, and asked us to hand over our cultivation resources for centralized allocation. He said that he would be the first to rush in when the beast tide comes. It's all bullshit. I think he just wants to embezzle things. When the city was breached, he was the first to take the things and escape!"

"After mobilizing for a long time, Deputy City Lord Ma saw that we were unwilling to hand over our cultivation resources and started to get angry. Then Deputy City Lord Yao came and said that we don't have to worry about the beast tide."

"An unrivaled master killed four great demon kings with one sword, and tens of thousands of demons were killed, directly solving the beast tide at its root."

"At first, the man surnamed Ma said that Deputy City Lord Yao should not lie about military intelligence to shake the morale of the army. But since he took his men out of the city for a tour and came back in a daze, he said that this was impossible. He was also seriously injured and was injured by the remaining sword energy."

The young apprentice interrupted and said with longing: "I also heard that the city lord personally checked the situation and said that a great figure who had practiced to the supreme level of swordsmanship took action."

"Sword Dao Supreme, if I had the chance to meet this Sword Dao Supreme, my life would not be lived in vain."

Lu Yang brought up four roasted rabbit legs and jokingly said, "What's so good about the Sword Dao Supreme?"

The young disciple said with a smile: "Brother Daoist Lu, you don't know this, right? If this sword master takes a liking to me and teaches me one or two sword techniques, I will be able to walk around Muxue City with my head held high."

Uncle Murong took a bite of the roasted rabbit leg and his eyes lit up: "Hey, Xiao Lu, your cooking skills are really good. You can open a shop. I have been eating barbecue in Muxue City for nearly a hundred years, and no one is better than yours!"

“That’s an exaggeration.”

…

Ma family residence.

Ever since Deputy City Lord Ma returned home, he has closed the door and refused to see visitors, even his family members.

Deputy City Lord Ma sat cross-legged on the straw mat, his eyes closed and teeth clenched, his hands clasped together, drops of sweat flowed from his forehead, across his chin, down his cheeks, and dripped onto the ground.

The sword energy of the Sword Master remained in his body. He tried various methods but failed to expel it quickly. He could only consume it bit by bit.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

But that was not what he cared about. He suddenly opened his eyes and muttered to himself: "This is impossible, this is impossible..."

"What's impossible?" A vicissitudes of life voice sounded in the ears of Deputy City Lord Ma.

"Who is it?"

Deputy City Lord Ma became nervous. This was his place of practice, and it was absolutely safe. Even the City Lord couldn't just break in.

"Why, you still have my sword energy in your body, but you don't recognize me?"

Deputy City Lord Ma's pupils suddenly shrank, and he said excitedly: "It's you, no, it's you!"

It was the peerless sword master who killed the four demon kings with one sword! "Deputy City Lord Ma thinks that nothing is impossible. Do you think that the beast tide that was supposed to attack the city was stopped by me?"

Deputy City Lord Ma felt the pressure from the Sword Master and knelt on the ground with a plop, beads of sweat the size of soybeans secreting from his forehead.

"No, that's not what I meant." Deputy City Lord Ma said tremblingly.

The Sword Master withdrew his pressure. He could see that Deputy City Lord Ma was also a sword cultivator. Facing the pressure from a sword cultivator who was far superior to him, it was impossible for him to lie.

"I, I didn't expect that a sword cultivator could practice to this level." Deputy City Lord Ma said bitterly. As a sword cultivator, he knew very well the gap between him and this peerless sword master.

But he was unwilling to admit it, so he risked his life to touch the sword energy remaining in the body of the Great Demon King and was seriously injured.

He realized that there was an unbridgeable gap between himself and a true swordsman, and that he would never be able to reach the other side in his lifetime, and he felt despair.

Sword Master sneered: "As a sword cultivator, his mind is not pure. Facing the beast tide, he only wants to abandon the city. He has no blood at all, and he still hopes to climb to the peak of swordsmanship. It's ridiculous."

"Have you ever swung a sword at someone stronger than you in your life?"

Deputy City Lord Ma was struck by lightning.

The Sword Master withdrew the sword energy that remained in Deputy Ma Chengzhu's body and disappeared.

Lu Yang appeared outside the Ma family mansion, shook his head and said to himself: "It seems that the beast tide has nothing to do with him."
