Chapter 20

The brothers and sisters are really giving it their all. It's only been a little over an hour, and I've already surpassed the person in front of me, and now I'm in eleventh place. The gap between me and the tenth place isn't that big. Brothers and sisters, give it one more push! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you again!

The young man looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. Dressed in a white robe, he stood there with a straight back, looking particularly outstanding.

"This must be Uncle's son, Xu Tianlang!" Xu Ziyang muttered to herself, then raised her eyes to look up at the high platform, where she saw nineteen people standing behind the clan leader, Xu Haoran.

"The person standing right behind the clan leader should be the clan's Foundation Establishment elder, Uncle Xu Haoliang."

Xu Ziyang's gaze then swept over her own side, where she saw that apart from the new disciples standing around her, the remaining sixteen hundred outer hall disciples were divided into four formations, with a person of steady demeanor standing in front of each formation.

"These four people should be the four gang leaders. I wonder which one is Xu Gan, which one is Xu Wen, and which one is Xu Tianxiao? Hmm, that woman should be Xu Dongxue."

Xu Ziyang's gaze swept over, and indeed, she saw the few people she had clashed with three months ago standing in those four formations. The older disciples in those formations were also looking at Xu Ziyang and the other new disciples, their eyes filled with ridicule. Xu Ziyang knew what they meant. Because of her, these new disciples had not joined the gangs of the older disciples but had chosen to stay around her.

Although Xu Ziyang had not formed a gang and had not met these new disciples many times, devoting herself to cultivation, the older disciples had not bullied these new disciples too much because of her. However, now that the beast tide had come, without the protection of the older disciples, these new disciples with low combat strength were naturally seen as cannon fodder by the older disciples, who all showed mocking expressions.

Even if the clan forcibly required the new disciples to join their teams, they would have even more ways to deal with these new disciples. So in their minds, the new disciples were already destined to be cannon fodder.

The new disciples also knew that they were in a very dangerous situation. They looked at Xu Ziyang with fearful eyes. Seeing Xu Ziyang's calm gaze, they then looked up at the clan leader on the high platform, hoping that the clan leader's orders would take care of them. They did not want to die in the beast tide just three months after entering the clan's outer hall.

However, to everyone's surprise, Clan Leader Xu Haoran did not say much but simply waved his hand and said:

"Follow me to the city wall!"

With that, he jumped off the high platform. In mid-air, a flying sword flew out of his storage bag, and Xu Haoran stepped on it, flying away. The elders behind him also flew away on their flying swords, and the disciples above the sixth level of the Qi Condensation stage took out their flying swords, flying up into the air and following closely behind.

Xu Ziyang was stunned by the sight. It was magnificent! Since coming to this world, this was the first time she had seen such a spectacular scene. Disciples below the sixth level of the Qi Condensation stage could not fly on flying swords, so they ran towards the direction the clan leader had left. Xu Ziyang saw the older disciples also running out of the square, so she ran out as well. The new disciples, seeing Xu Ziyang run out, hurriedly followed behind her.

As soon as Xu Ziyang ran out of the clan's gate and onto the main street of Zhongdu City, she saw people flying on flying swords coming from all directions. They were clearly divided, with the group under the banner of the City Lord heading east, the group under the Xiao family banner heading west, the group under the Wu family banner heading south, and the group under the Xu family banner heading north.

At this moment, the snow in the sky was falling more densely, with large snowflakes swirling, turning the world white.

Xu Ziyang followed the crowd, heading north with the Xu family banner. The streets were filled with residents running around like ants on a hot pan. Xu Ziyang did not have time to pay attention to them and hurriedly ran up to the northern city wall.

On the northern city wall, nearly two thousand people from the Xu family were standing, each with a tense expression, looking down at the city.

"Brother, do you think this beast tide is serious?" Xu Haobo, standing next to Xu Haoran, asked softly.

Xu Haoran looked up at the sky, then down at the city, and shook his head slightly, saying:

"It's too dark to see clearly. But it looks like there are at least a thousand beasts on the north side. This is just the beginning, and this beast tide is likely to be quite large, at least a medium-scale one."

At this moment, Xu Haoliang, the ninth brother standing next to Xu Haoran, smiled and said:

"Brother, don't worry. It's just a thousand or so beasts. With me here, they won't be able to climb the city wall."

Xu Ziyang looked down at the city and saw a sea of red light in the dark night, which was the light from the beasts' eyes. She then turned to look at Xu Haoliang, who, though nearly fifty years old, was extremely handsome, with a robust build and a fierce demeanor.

Xu Ziyang couldn't help but nod in approval. It seemed that he could compete with the clan leader and secure a position, indeed, he was an extraordinary person.

Xu Haoran laughed heartily and said, "Good, Ninth Brother! These beasts are nothing to us."

At this moment, a roar of beasts came from below the city wall, shaking the sky. Xu Haoran smiled coldly and said:

"Just a thousand beasts dare to attack Zhongdu City. These beasts really have no brains. They should be beasts forever."

At this moment, Xu Haobo suddenly frowned and pointed far away, saying, "Brother, look."

Everyone looked into the distance and saw a column of smoke rising into the sky.

"Beacon fire!" Xu Ziyang's mind immediately flashed with these two words.

"It seems the beasts are also attacking Fangtian City!" Xu Haoran said softly.

"It seems this beast tide is really large! And the beacon fire from Fangtian City indicates that they are under intense attack and are probably unable to hold out, so they are seeking help."

"Um." Xu Haoran nodded slightly.

"Brother, what should we do?"

Xu Haoran shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know. Whether to aid Fangtian City is up to the City Lord."

He leaned on the city wall and looked down, pursing his lips slightly, and said, "But we can't let these beasts go. Ninth Brother, let's each lead our disciples down and see who can kill more beasts."

"I dare not disobey." Xu Haoliang immediately responded.

"Ha ha ha... Good!" Xu Haoran laughed heartily and said, "Let's go kill the beasts."

With that, he leaped off the city wall, stepping on his flying sword, and flew out to attack the beasts. Xu Haoliang also did not lag behind, flying down and charging towards the beasts outside the city. The disciples above the sixth level of the Qi Condensation stage all flew out of the city wall.

Xu Ziyang watched in amazement as the flying swords filled the sky, shimmering with light...
