Chapter 50: Beast Horde Attack, Battle on the Night of the Full Moon!
“Why is that man still staying in our sect?!” Xiao Chen demanded, worried that Lin Qi’an’s presence would ruin his plans.
As long as he could absorb Jiuying’s power successfully. His rise to prominence would be inevitable. No uncertain factors could be allowed!
The lives of those people didn’t matter; as long as they could weaken Jiuying, he could step in as a hero.
“That young master is a distinguished guest of our sect. Why shouldn’t he stay?” Ran Yuwei frowned. “Junior Brother Xiao, can you not speak in such a tone? I dislike it.”
“Sorry… but I fear he has ill intentions that could ruin our plans!”
“The young master has been in his room meditating and has not gone out. How could he ruin anything? Besides, we have accepted his gifts and should treat him as a guest!” Ran Yuwei’s tone had a touch of firmness.
She couldn’t understand why Xiao Chen harbored such strong hostility toward the young master.
The young master was not only handsome but also generous and polite, and he possessed the legendary Dragon Yang Dao Physique!
With all these factors combined, Ran Yuwei felt no animosity toward him and even wanted to get closer. Which girl wouldn’t be tempted?
“Senior Sister Ran, are you actually scolding me for an outsider?” Xiao Chen’s voice was hoarse, unable to reveal Lin Qi’an’s true identity.
Imagine living an ordinary life with a girl, almost becoming a couple, and then a billionaire suddenly appears beside her.
Fear! He feared the name of the Crown Prince of Beiyang was too prominent, taking away the one he loved.
After all, he was indeed handsome, noble, and could provide anything a girl wanted. Too much of a threat.
“Enough, talking more is useless.” Ran Yuwei turned and left, leaving Xiao Chen clenching his fists and gritting his teeth.
……
“Interesting.” Watching the scene unfold, Lin Qi’an smiled.
Due to the increasing distrust between the two, Xiao Chen’s luck value dropped by 50, while Lin Qi’an’s villain points increased by 500.
………
In the next two days.
The joint crusade team found nothing and finally, the night of the full moon arrived.
Tonight was eerily silent.
At this moment, the Yushou Sect was housing the various sects’ crusade team members. Having found nothing, they resorted to drowning their sorrows in alcohol.
“Sigh, who knows where Jiuying is hiding!”
“Haha, maybe it’s afraid of us and doesn’t dare to come out!”
“Come on, let’s enjoy the food and drink. There’s wine and meat!”
At the banquet, people were indulging in food and drink, with wine spilling everywhere.
Xiao Chen was among them.
“Speaking of which, Brother Xiao, I saw a white-clad lady in your sect recently. She’s truly a national beauty! Could you introduce me to her?”
“Yeah! Is that fairy your junior sister?”
“And there’s another girl in a purple dress. She’s my type. Tsk tsk, that ample bosom makes one want to dive in!”
“Everyone knows Brother Xiao likes Miss Ran, but don’t keep the other two hidden from us!”
A group of people drank and exchanged lewd jokes, unaware of the impending danger.
Ten miles outside the sect, Jiuying led numerous ferocious beasts, charging forward!
A beast horde!
A terrifying beast horde flattened everything in its path and their purpose was simple.
Devour the human crusade team and capture the Myriad Beast Affinity Physique for a nourishing soup!
“There are ferocious beasts…” The lookout was killed instantly with a claw through the heart.
The ground began to tremble! Everyone in the sect finally felt it.
“Beasts are attacking!”
“Report, a large-scale beast attack!”
Outside, flames lit up the sky, and people shouted in panic.
Xiao Chen felt a surge of joy. ‘They came on their own, heaven is helping me!’
He slammed the table and shouted, “Everyone, we will suppress Jiuying tonight!”
“You go first; I’ll prepare the secret treasure!” He planned to send these people to their deaths to weaken Jiuying’s strength.
“Alright, brothers, let’s go!”
Everyone charged out, including the entire Yushou Sect, everyone went out to fight.
Boom!
The beasts swept in like a flood.
Eight Desolate Snakes, Dragon Ancient Leopards, Fiery Yang Rhinos, Ghost Tooth Lions…
Led by Jiuying, they almost instantly flattened the mountain gate!
A great battle broke out and sparks and flames filled the air. Shouts of humans, roars of beasts, and the clash of weapons echoed in the sky.
Inside, Lin Qi’an remained in seclusion.
Su Xueni and Zi Lianyou were in the outer room.
“The beasts are attacking… His Highness is still in seclusion.”
“Don’t worry, with Aunt You here to protect him, we should just stay put and follow orders.”
Aunt You guarded the area, only responsible for the prince’s safety, unconcerned with anyone else’s life or death.
………
Outside.
Xiao Chen found Ran Yuwei immediately.
“Senior Sister Ran, don’t go out to fight, stay hidden inside!”
“What are you saying? Everyone in the sect is fighting to the death, how can I stand by and do nothing?” Ran Yuwei’s eyes widened.
“Trust me, Senior Sister. I have a way to suppress these beasts. Believe in me just this once, I, Xiao Chen, will kill Jiuying today!” He raised his hand, making a solemn vow and his heroic spirit was reassuring.
“But…”
“No buts, Senior Sister. You will understand my good intentions.” Xiao Chen knew those people were going to their deaths, and he didn’t care.
But she was dear to his heart and so he wanted to protect her.
Today, he would make his mark!
