"It would be great if Mr. Chen could come. Please follow me down."
When Chen Zining descended to a hundred feet above the city, he felt a protective shield about three feet thick, in which rich fire energy flowed, fierce and violent. Chen Zining felt a little uncomfortable, but the fire vulture was quite excited.
The two landed in a square in the city. Chen Zining collected the fire vulture and listened to Shao Mingzheng's introduction. It turned out that he was a deacon of the Beast Tamers Guild. It was his turn to be on duty today. This time in Guang'an City, a member of the Beast Tamers Guild
Quite a few came.
Chen Zining walked a few steps when he came face to face with Elder Zhao Dong and Mentor Tan Zhongliang from the academy. Tan Zhongliang had already reached the martial arts level at this time, but he had not yet been promoted to the position of elder.
Chen Zining had dealt with both of them before and was not a stranger to them, so he said hello immediately.
Director Zhao smiled and said: "The dean and the vice-dean are both here. Just as we were talking about it, you have almost arrived."
The three of them walked and chatted, and when they reached a large mansion, they saw Meng Chang coming out from inside.
"Shibo, why are you here?"
Meng Chang smiled first, then sighed and said: "Forget it, I was just transferred to Guang'an City as the commander of the city guard. Two days ago, I sent a man to deliver a message to you on horseback. It probably hasn't been delivered yet."
Chen Zining was a little dumbfounded and looked at Director Zhao and Tan Zhongliang. Director Zhao said: "Let's go in and inform them first."
After the two left, Chen Zining said: "Is this the intention of the Ji family or the intention of the college?"
Meng Changdao: "That's what Mr. Ji meant. If it were in other times, I could have said that I couldn't get out of the illness, but now is an extraordinary time, and the college wants me to take charge first."
Before Chen Zining could speak, Meng Chang said again: "Ji's doing this is probably to drag you into trouble."
Chen Zining shook his head, with a half-smile on his face and said, "Mr. Ji thinks highly of me too."
The two met in the hall and saw that the two deans Yan Haogu and Gu Tonghui, as well as more than ten college elders including Mu Ye, were there. This formation included almost a quarter of the college's strength.
But it's no wonder, starting from Guang'an City, more than a thousand miles away is the territory of Tsinghua City. There are only two small cities in the middle. If the beast tide rushes out, the next target may be Tsinghua City, and the college cannot tolerate not paying attention to it.
Yan Haogu met Chen Zining and said with a smile: "Chen Zining, I called you back halfway, do you have any complaints?"
Chen Zining smiled and said: "If there were any complaints, I wouldn't come. I'm just a little confused about this matter."
If Chen Zining had not gone deep into the Underworld Beast Abyss, he might have thought that this was just a large-scale beast tide, but after witnessing a lot of things with his own eyes and discovering that there were figures mixed with demons in it, things became a bit complicated.
Yan Haogu looked very complicated and said: "This matter is actually simple to say. The Demon Dao has been lurking for hundreds of years and has been preparing a comeback plan. Judging from the current signs, they have opened a two-realm passage and are fighting with the Demon Realm.
Communication has also benefited greatly from it, and we even suspected that an incarnation of the devil had sneaked into this world."
"The battle of Red Rock City and the battle of Guang'an City are both a beginning, a warm-up and a hunting meeting. The world has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and chaos is about to begin again."
Seeing that Chen Zining was still a little puzzled, Gu Tonghui explained: "We were caught off guard during the last battle at Red Rock City. With the strength of the Demonic Way and the Beast King, it was easy to break out of Guang'an City, but we were given half a year to prepare.
I just want to test the right way here."
An elder with an ancient face and a short stature said: "Our college has always been neutral, but unexpectedly we took the vanguard in this disaster."
Another elder said: "This is not something we can choose. Besides, it is not our college that makes the decision in Guang'an City now."
When Chen Zining heard this, he understood a little bit and said, "I wonder what the great elder can do if he calls me here?"
Yan Haogu said with a smile: "The current Guang'an City is actually a military training ground. You can see it more."
After Chen Zining came out, he asked Meng Chang about the situation inside and outside the city. Only then did he learn that the forces in the city at this time included the Ji family, the academy, the Beast Tamer Guild, the Mercenary Guild, the Taihua Sect, the Xianxia Sect, and the Xiaoyao Sect.
Dozens of other families, including the five major aristocratic families, also sent a lot of manpower. The person in charge of the affairs in the city was Ji Tong, the Supreme Elder of the Ji family.
Chen Zining secretly shuddered after hearing this. The elders of the Ji family are the strong ones of Martial Lord, and the elders of Taishang are the strong ones of Martial Emperor.
Changing generals before the battle is a taboo on the battlefield, but at this time, in addition to the original 6,000 troops in Guang'an City, there are more than 30,000 troops from four or five places. Meng Chang, the commander, does not interfere in specific affairs and acts as a mediator.
role, neither busy nor idle.
Chen Zining returned to the Commander's Mansion with Meng Chang. Before he could sit down, two people came to visit him. One was Yue Ling and the other was Fu Qiwei.
"Brother Fu, are you here too?" Chen Zining said in surprise.
Fu Qiwei returned to his hometown after the semester ended, but why did he appear here?
Fu Qiwei laughed heartily and said: "When I try to reach the master level at home, I always miss the last step. When I heard that there was something going on here, I came to help. Maybe after two fights, I realized it without even realizing it."
Chen Zining nodded and expressed his understanding. Fu Qiwei's approach was not uncommon. When on the line between life and death, it was indeed easier to realize the true meaning and break through the shackles, but doing so would often come at a huge price.
Speaking of his intentions, Yue Ling said: "We have made an appointment with a group of young masters and want to go hunting outside the city tomorrow morning. Are you interested?"
Chen Zining asked about it and found out that there were more than ten people participating, including the younger generation of masters from all the major forces in the city, and some of the lowest-level martial artists were at the peak of their cultivation.
The hunting place is within twenty miles outside the city. At this time, there are all spiritual beasts below the sixth level outside the city. This is the best time for everyone to practice.
Before Chen Zining could reply, a soldier came to report again, saying that it was Elder Lu Juncheng from the Beast Tamers Guild who came to visit Chen Zining.
Chen Zining immediately said: "Let's forget it this time. Next time I have time, I will go and see it with you."
Fu Qiwei and Yue Ling said goodbye, and Chen Zining said: "It's almost night, let's leave after dinner."
The two agreed and wanted to go to the side hall to avoid it. Chen Zining said that it was not necessary. Although he wanted to cooperate with the Beast Tamers Guild, if the other party wanted to use the puppet beast method, there was no need to compromise.
Lu Juncheng was tall, with prominent bones and dark skin. He was about fifty years old. After chatting with Chen Zining for a while, he saw that his father-in-law and his father-in-law were present. After a slight hesitation, he explained his intention. Sure enough, he was invited to join the association and assume the position of elder.
matter.
Chen Zining said calmly: "Elder Lu, it is an honor for me to join the guild, and I am happy to exchange beast control skills with the guild. However, I have no right to disclose the most core secrets of the sect. I want to explain this in advance."
Lu Juncheng was hesitant, but in the end the two of them agreed that Chen Zining would go to the headquarters of the Beast Tamers Guild in the near future to personally negotiate with the top leaders of the guild.
Just after Lu Juncheng left, Shu Lei from Taihua Sect and Jing Xiaoye from Xiaoyao Sect came to visit respectively. Yue Ling smiled and said: "Chen Zining, you are really a busy man."
