Separated by a barrier.
The surging beast tide, in a frenzy, attacked the barrier one after another.
A continuous thumping sound emanated from the barrier.
Fang Xin raised his hand and pressed it towards the screen, as if through the air.
The moment he uttered the word “retreat” from his mouth.
The ferocious beasts in front of Fang Xin all paused.
Immediately after, those ferocious beasts, as if receiving some command, stopped their attack.
The section of the city wall guarded by Fang Xin’s team.
The beast tide, which had been attacking in waves, receded like a low tide.
Then, it was observed that the ferocious beasts near the section of the city wall guarded by Fang Xin’s team went towards other areas, creating a vacuum there.
After seeing this scene, Shi Tailang was stunned.
He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.
“Holy cow! Xin Ge, that’s amazing! How the hell did you do that?”
“Isn’t your Xin Ge awesome!”
“Like a little cow riding an airplane, it’s absolutely out of this world!”
Zhang Yaozu’s eyes widened, “Awesome, Xin Ge!”
“How did you do that?” Shi Tailang asked, puzzled.
As he spoke, he even stretched out his hand towards the ferocious beasts in other areas beyond the barrier, imitating Fang Xin and saying, “Retreat!”
But those ferocious beasts completely ignored Shi Tailang.
The other few people also looked at Fang Xin curiously, their eyes questioning how Fang Xin had done it.
Fang Xin, with a straight face, spouted nonsense, “Perhaps my Beast Taming Talent is very strong, and when Instructor Zhuge took me to the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace to awaken my Beast Taming Talent, I swallowed some true dragon aura, which gives me a suppressive effect on these ferocious beasts.”
The few people suddenly understood.
Shi Tailang looked left and right, “Xin Ge, there are many ferocious beasts attacking everywhere else, but there isn’t a single one here. Wouldn’t it be bad if we were discovered? Can you make these ferocious beasts continue to attack our area, but just pretend? We’re all just workers; the big shots above are fighting for territory, so we little guys just need to put on a show.”
Fang Xin raised his hand again, “Pretend to attack here!”
After he said that, many ferocious beasts once again pretended to charge over. They basically rushed over with fierce momentum, then pretended to hit the barrier, repeating the process. Both sides entered a mode of slacking off at work.
Everyone found it very miraculous. “Xin Ge, your main talent isn’t the Beast Taming Department! Otherwise, if you were even more amazing, you could just make those two strongest ferocious beasts leave!”
Zhang Yaozu habitually argued with Shi Tailang, “Fatty, you’re getting more and more out of line! Xin Ge is still in the ascending stage. To achieve that level, doesn’t he need some more time to grow? You’ve seen how strong those two ferocious beasts are. Xin Ge needs more refinement to command such terrifying existences. Everything has to be gradual!”
“I was just saying! Why are you, a lump of coal, arguing with me!”
In the distance, Bai Mao Zai and Lu Dingjia, one old and one young, were fighting fiercely with the two large and small ferocious beasts.
After fighting for more than ten minutes.
The Eternal Night Army’s side sounded the retreat, and only then did the two ferocious beasts depart.
As the two strongest ferocious beasts left, the beast tide also slowly receded like a low tide, eventually shrinking back below the horizon.
Bai Mao Zai and Lu Dingjia both returned to the city.
Looking at the half-corpse of Xiao Rui lying on the ground, Bai Mao Zai snapped his fingers, and the other half of Xiao Rui’s corpse appeared beside the existing one.
Bai Mao Zai glanced at Jiang Weiqi, “Go stitch up the body and report his death in battle!”
Jiang Weiqi looked at Xiao Rui’s corpse, then at Bai Mao Zai, thinking that if Bai Mao Zai and Lu Dingjia had been here just now, Xiao Rui wouldn’t have died. But he didn’t dare to voice his thoughts, as this Bai Mao Zai could go crazy and attack, and he wouldn’t be able to handle it.
He left with Xiao Rui’s body.
Bai Mao Zai ordered his subordinates to rest quickly.
He didn’t know when the next wave of beast attacks would come.
A few hours later, Zhuge Heng and Fang Xin were together. Shi Tailang had prepared ingredients and other items, ready for a hotpot. Everything was set.
However, a furious roar came from the headquarters of the Church’s combat operations, “Lu Dingjia! Zhuge Heng! Both of you get over here to this Governor!”
Then, a golden light soared into the sky, and half of Yun Cang City trembled because of it.
Zhuge Heng held his chopsticks, leisurely cooking meat, completely disregarding the angry roar from the Church’s side.
Shi Tailang glanced over there, then cautiously asked, “Instructor Zhuge, is everything alright?”
Bai Mao Zai grinned, showing his white teeth, “Hah! You can tell with your toes! These bastards from the Church, a sub-Governor died, and they sent an envoy to supervise the battle. They want to pin the blame for Xiao Rui’s death on Old Lu and me, thinking that because we weren’t there during the great battle, we caused Xiao Rui’s death. They’ll definitely go on and on, trying to make us take the fall. But I’ve always stood tall since I was a kid; I won’t take the blame. Don’t bother with them; let’s just eat.”
Seeing Bai Mao Zai calm and composed, the few people began to eat.
Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, Jiang Weiqi led a group of people rapidly towards them.
“Zhuge Heng, the envoy wants you to come over!”
Zhuge Heng took a bite of food, “Can’t you see I’m eating? Tell him to wait!”
“The envoy is very angry!” Jiang Weiqi said with a sullen face.
Bai Mao Zai continued eating, “Director Jiang, if I’m not mistaken, when you wrote your report, you must have exaggerated, saying that Old Lu and I were not in the city during the great battle, which led to Xiao Rui’s death, right?”
Jiang Weiqi had been a bit timid after Xiao Rui’s death, but only for a short while. Now that the Church had sent an envoy, he immediately became arrogant. The weather cleared, the rain stopped, and he felt capable again.
Hearing this, Jiang Weiqi sneered, “Isn’t that an undeniable fact? You and Lu Dingjia left Yun Cang City at a critical moment. Governor Xiao did not receive your assistance during the great battle and ultimately died. This is the direct cause! Even if you were on a special mission, putting everything else aside, do you really bear no fault at all?”
Zhuge Heng ignored him, continuing to blanch tripe for himself.
Another team of Church personnel quickly arrived. The leader of this team was quite polite after entering, “Mr. Zhuge, the envoy invites you over. He wants to ask you some questions!”
Only then did Zhuge Heng leisurely get up. As he passed Jiang Weiqi, his hand gently patted Jiang Weiqi’s chest.
“Learn how to speak like a human from him!”
After saying that, he walked away, leaving Jiang Weiqi with a distorted expression.
Turning his head, his gaze shifted, and he saw the hotpot of Fang Xin and the others. He immediately kicked over the table.
“What the hell are you eating! A great battle is imminent! And you still have the mood to eat! All of you get out and stand guard!”
He snorted coldly.
Jiang Weiqi turned and left.
Fang Xin stared at Jiang Weiqi’s retreating figure.
Suddenly, he remembered something: Jiang Weiqi hadn’t been wearing a Church uniform when he arrived, but rather civilian clothes.
Most of the time, Church members almost always wore their uniforms, rarely civilian clothes.
And Jiang Weiqi’s civilian outfit.
The more Fang Xin looked, the more familiar it seemed.
It was precisely the clothes Jiang Weiqi was wearing in the scene where Fang Xin saw him being killed in the Rewind Treasure Mirror.
Recalling the scene at the time, the environment where Jiang Weiqi died, wasn’t it similar to here in Yun Cang City?
With this thought, Fang Xin stared at Jiang Weiqi’s retreating figure, a smile appearing on his face.
