Chapter 2392: Chapter 2397: The City Lord Arrives in Person

Xia Liu doesn’t want to kill Gao Wei, as he’s already dealt the greatest blow.

If she can’t hold on, she might not last much longer.

If he can let go and understand.

Perhaps he might still live for another hundred or two hundred years.

"Didn’t you hear what I, the Commander, said? After you leave, be a good person. Stop thinking about stealing and murder all day long."

Lan Lianxue reminded.

"I..."

Burying his hatred deep in his eyes, Gao Wei didn’t finish his words.

Just as Lan Lianxue was about to take a step forward.

A cold beam suddenly shot from the top of Gao Wei’s skull!

The speed, shocking the Heaven-Shaking Gang!

In the nick of time.

Someone suddenly appeared in front of Lan Lianxue.

His face was unclear, his cultivation was indiscernible!

The newcomer simply waved his hand, and a force of decay that could corrupt the heavens and earth burst forth.

Gao Wei’s Demon Essence was directly destroyed.

This decaying force pushed towards Gao Wei.

Without any sound.

Gao Wei disappeared from the world.

"This!"

Witnessing the death of a Demon Infant Late Stage cultivator at such close range, without even a trace of bones left!

Lan Lianxue forgot to breathe.

Just as she was about to speak, Xia Liu’s concerned voice came from behind: "Lianxue, are you okay?"

"Commander..."

She glanced back at Xia Liu, then looked forward in panic.

Who saved me?

The sudden appearance of this mysterious strong figure also left Xia Liu deeply puzzled.

The space fell into a silent atmosphere.

Unusually quiet.

"Thank you, senior, for your intervention."

Xia Liu was the first to break the silence.

Since he saved Lan Lianxue, it showed that the person didn’t intend to attack him.

This allowed for a peaceful conversation.

The question was whether he appeared to save someone or had another intention.

"Even if I didn’t intervene, he wouldn’t have survived anyway, right?"

The mysterious man turned his back on Xia Liu, his deep voice devoid of any demon breath.

Xia Liu couldn’t perceive his strength.

Truly puzzling.

"Perhaps."

"Commander Xia, could you grant me a chance to come inside and talk?"

The mysterious man turned around.

Xia Liu caught sight of his full appearance.

It was a kindly-looking old man.

Yet the hair beside his cheeks was gray.

Somewhat unique.

"Of course! Since senior helped me save a team member, I, Xia, must show my hospitality!"

"Lianxue, go buy a few jars of the finest Demon Wine, and some rare mountain and sea delicacies."

"Alright, Commander!"

Lan Lianxue vaguely went to the tavern to purchase the items Xia Liu instructed.

In the backyard, Xia Liu and the old man sat under the pavilion.

The space around them was filled with a suppressive tension.

Due to their auras both being inadvertently released.

"Gray hair, decaying Demon Essence, if I’m not mistaken, senior you must be the City Lord of Demon Hunter City, the peak of the Great Thousand Realms: Demon Lord Duan Tian."

Xia Liu broke the atmosphere and directly confronted Demon Lord Duan Tian.

"Haha, young friend recognizing this old man is as expected."

Duan Tian did not deny it.

Xia Liu’s character is considered exceptionally good among Demon Lords.

Making Duan Tian willing to accept him.

"I wonder what brings the City Lord to my humble abode?"

Xia Liu asked proactively.

Even though Duan Tian possesses the eighth-rank Demon Lord cultivation, without confirming he’s an enemy.

Xia Liu remained unruffled.

"Young friend, your recent actions have been revered as legends by the demon cultivators of Demon Hunter City. I came to confirm that."

"Haha, the City Lord must have confirmed it already, right? Did I, Xia, pass the test?"

"You used that young girl as a disguise, using Essence Sword Intent to pierce through Gao Wei’s Demon Body. Such methods, even I admire."

Duan Tian spoke truthfully.

Xia Liu’s Sword Intent was exceedingly rare, this borrowing of force was even more admirable as it escaped detection by others.

"Recently, I’ve caused a stir, and if I pubically cripple Gao Wei in front of the wide audience of demon cultivators, tomorrow my name would spread here and there. I prefer to act discreetly, borrowing the situation to strike."

"Hmm, your idea is very good. I would do the same."

Duan Tian nodded, agreeing with Xia Liu’s idea.

"I wonder what business brings the City Lord to me today?"

Xia Liu could see that if it were merely confirming his identity, Duan Tian wouldn’t say such things.

"Young friend’s wisdom is indeed beyond ordinary. Today I came hoping young friend would lend me a hand with something."

"City Lord, is this for real?"

Xia Liu was shocked by Duan Tian’s sudden request.

If an eighth-rank Demon Lord couldn’t accomplish something.

Was it possible for him?

"Absolutely!"

Duan Tian confirmed.

"City Lord, my cultivation is far inferior to yours. How could I possibly assist you?"

"This matter concerns Demon Hunter City and the safety of countless other cities in the Great Thousand Realms."

"What matter?"

Xia Liu became serious.

It seemed this was a matter of interest!

"A Beast Tide is perhaps about to erupt."

"Beast Tide? Could it be true?"

Xia Liu recently heard people discussing it.

And today Duan Tian personally came to speak of this matter.

If true, then it’s a big deal!

"Every ten thousand years, the Great Thousand Realms faces a Beast Tide. The usual signs are a large emergence of High-Rank Demon Beasts from the depths of the Nether River and Nether Land."

"Could it be that these two places did not have High-Rank Demon Beasts before?"

Xia Liu asked puzzled.

"Few, in less than two months, you’ve killed no less than eight High-Rank Demon Beasts, meaning the Beast Tide is approaching."

Duan Tian continued: "Previously, encountering even one High-Rank Demon Beast within a year was extremely fortunate."

"This..."

Xia Liu couldn’t refute it.

Recently, he had indeed slayed many High-Rank Demon Beasts.

Could it be that the Beast Tide crisis was really approaching?

The Beast Tide represents the assembly of mass numbers of Demon Beasts at once.

Rushing out from the Secret Realm.

Their target is sweeping through the human domain.

Somewhat like the Cultivation Realm and the Demon Domain.

If the Demon Domain unleashed all its power.

Breaking through the Cultivation Realm.

The Cultivation Realm would surely fall into chaos.

And face life and death.

The Beast Tide for cultivators below Demon Lord level is a disaster.

As they lack the power to resist the tide.

In a Beast Tide, even beasts with Demon God level power might appear!

If such exists, with the current force of the Demon Domain, it would be dangerous.

"That’s why I came today. After assessing young friend’s strength, I want to invite young friend to join me in resisting the incoming Beast Tide."

Duan Tian’s expression was very serious.

This concerns the survival of Demon Hunter City and many domains of the Great Thousand Realms.

No joking matter.

"Young friend can rest assured, as long as you make contributions during the Beast Tide, this old man owes a favor to anyone who’s recognized by all."

"City Lord has overthought, that’s not what I meant."

"No matter what you think, that’s the rule I’ve set, and I will strictly enforce it."

Xia Liu thought for a moment and said, "How many Demon Lords will be involved against the Beast Tide this time?"

"I’ve currently contacted no less than thirty, with eight over the sixth rank of Demon Lord, and more may follow..."
