Chapter 376 An Unusual Beast Tide
With the appearance of Qian Daoliu, and the gradual return of people to Wuhun City for rescue efforts, including some high-level soul masters who were out on business, the situation improved.
Wuhun City is a symbol of all soul masters in the world, a symbol of the Wuhun Empire, and the only truly unified regime in the entire Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years, which can be considered as the will of the people.
All personnel within the entire Wuhun City were rapidly preparing for battle, and various weapons were brought out. The 300,000-strong army was also orderly stationed on the various city walls.
The entire Spirit City can be described as a natural barrier, with walls reaching a height of eighty meters. The Spirit Beast race has an inherent weakness: they cannot manufacture siege equipment like an army. The walls of Spirit City are over thirty meters thick, presumably built to defend against attacks from the Spirit Beast race. If the Spirit Beasts wanted to truly breach Spirit City, they would probably have to sacrifice their lives or simply go up against the corpses.
Of course, there are also some flying soul beasts among the soul beast race, but their numbers are relatively small, unlike humans who can fly as long as they are titled Dou Sui. In fact, there are quite a few flying soul masters among humans who can provide aerial support.
Several flying soul masters from Tianxing Academy disregarded the consumption of their soul power and pushed their flight speed to the limit, finally arriving at Tianxing Academy for help in less than a day.
The leader was a flying Soul Douluo whose martial soul was a golden eagle, and his speed was not much weaker than that of the white crane of the Min clan.
When the Golden Eagle Soul Douluo came to Tianxing Academy for help, everyone was surprised. How could the mighty Martial Soul Empire, which had already unified the entire Douluo Continent and had even more Title Douluos, possibly ask for help?
Golden Eagle Soul Douluo quickly recounted the current situation in Martial Soul City, explaining that not only were countless soul beasts attacking the city, but also the ferocious beast Di Tian.
After hearing this, everyone fell silent. Yang Wudi and the others remained silent.
Theoretically speaking, almost everyone present had a grudge against the Spirit Empire. Not to mention the Breaking Clan and the Imperial Clan, even Ning Fengzhi and Sword Bone Douluo from the original Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School all hated the Spirit Empire to the bone. If it weren't for their current lives, who would want to hide in the Almo Mountains in the far north?
Now that the Spirit Empire has come to the Heavenly Path Academy for help, it's a bit of a betrayal of the Heavenly Gang. As for Ning Fengzhi and the other two, they couldn't wait to help the Spirit Beast Clan wipe out the experts of the Spirit Hall. It's already quite good that they're not kicking someone when they're down.
Seeing that the people present were almost unmoved, Golden Eagle Soul Douluo hurriedly pleaded, "Dean Yang, may I ask where Mr. Yang Podi is now? I would like to meet with him."
Everyone exchanged glances. Yang Podi's personality really might lead him to study the Martial Soul Empire. However, Yang Wudi paused before speaking, "I'm really sorry, Podi went out some time ago, and even I don't know where he is now."
Of course, after Golden Eagle Soul Douluo's explanation, everyone understood Yang Podi's previous arrangements.
Before leaving Tianxing Academy, Yang Podi made many preparations, including bringing back Yang Tianyue and Yang Ping'an, who were training in the City of Slaughter. With Yang Tianyue stationed there, along with the divine artifact, the Trident of the Sea God, even if Di Tian came to invade, he probably wouldn't gain much advantage.
Ning Fengzhi and the others were even more impressed with Yang Podi's previous arrangements. It was probably to prevent attacks from the soul beast race that he had arranged to manufacture a large number of soul-guided bombs in advance.
But all of this is a backup plan to protect Tianxing Academy, and it cannot be used for Wuhunchen.
Seeing that no one was moved, Yang Wudi couldn't help but sigh. In the current situation, if no support was provided, the Soul Beast Clan would probably turn their guns on Tianxing Academy if they won in the future.
If the Spirit Empire wins, it might not be so easy to remain neutral in the future; it will still need to put on a show.
Moreover, this matter truly concerns the life and death of the entire human race, and as human beings, we must ultimately make some contribution.
After thinking for a while, Yang Wudi glanced at Dugu Bo, who was doing nothing to the side.
Dugu Bo originally wanted to watch the show, but unexpectedly Yang Wudi looked at him. Moreover, as an old brother who had been with him day and night, he immediately understood what Yang Wudi meant.
After thinking for a while, Dugu Bo finally spoke: "I've been a bit bored lately, so I'll go to Wuhun City with you. As for how much I can help, I can't guarantee that."
Golden Eagle Soul Douluo was overjoyed. Among the people from Tianxing Academy, the person he really wanted to invite was Dugu Bo, after all, Dugu Bo was known as invincible in group battles and was extremely effective against low-level soul beasts.
Suddenly, Ye Lingling spoke up: "Grandpa Dugu, let me go with you. Lately, I feel like I've hit a bottleneck. Let's fight together and see if I can gain some experience and try to break through as soon as possible."
Ye Lengleng is a healing-type Soul Master. When Wuhun City is in crisis, it is also Qian Renxue's crisis. The two are rivals in love, but they seem to have a mutual respect for each other, especially Qian Renxue's aloof and stubborn personality, which seems to be completely in contrast to her own.
Moreover, as the successor of the Goddess of Life, she needs to gain more combat experience and witness some grand scenes; otherwise, she will have no way to inherit the throne of the God King in the future.
Yang Tianyue had been honing her killing intent recently and was eager for battle. She hurriedly said, "Grandpa, Grandfather, why don't I go to Martial Soul City to take a look? It should be of some help."
Yang Wudi and Niu Gao shouted angrily at the same time, "Nonsense! What are you doing, a little kid? Have you forgotten the task your elder brother assigned you? You need to control your killing intent as soon as possible. How can you go to this kind of battlefield?"
Yang Tianyue could only pout. Although she was a little unhappy, she still couldn't refuse her elder brother's arrangement. In fact, Yang Tianyue was the strongest in the entire Tianxing Qi Academy and was definitely the pillar of the academy. How could she disregard her own family to help others?
At this moment, Yang Zhentian suddenly spoke up: "Dad, let me go to Wuhun City with Senior Dugu."
"I'll feel safer with me around."
Yang Wudi had a narrow-minded idea, after all, if Ye Lingling also went, wouldn't both of his granddaughters-in-law be in Wuhun City, and they would still need someone to protect them?
Moreover, if Yang Zhentian goes, it will be seen as a statement of attitude, and at least it will make things easier to interact with the Spirit Empire in the future.
Just then, Ning Fengzhi, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Uncle Jian, would you please go to Wuhun City as well?"
Everyone was puzzled when they heard this. It was possible for anyone else to appear, but Ning Fengzhi's request for Sword Douluo to appear was unexpected. After all, Sword Douluo had lost an arm to the Spirit Empire, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was also destroyed by the Spirit Empire. The two sides were sworn enemies.
Sword Douluo himself was also a bit conflicted: "Feng Zhi, is it a bit inappropriate for me to go? After all, I don't have a good relationship with those people from the Spirit Empire. We might end up fighting first."
Sword Douluo has been doing quite well at Tianxing Academy recently. His severed arm has been healed, and his soul power is already extremely close to level 98. With the abundant resources of Tianxing Academy, breaking through will not be a problem for him. Why would Ning Fengzhi suddenly make such an arrangement?
Ning Fengzhi shook his head: "Uncle Jian, there are priorities. As human beings, we must have a broader perspective. Although we have hatred for the Spirit Empire, we must make choices when faced with the greater good."
Everyone's face darkened upon hearing this, and they couldn't help but think to themselves: Ning Fengzhi, how dare you talk about righteousness? Do you want Sword Douluo to take the opportunity to stab the Spirit Empire in the back?
Even the Golden Eagle Soul Douluo found it hard to believe. He could ask for help himself, but how could he dare to actually ask the original Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for help?
After a moment's thought, Yang Wudi roughly understood what Ning Fengzhi meant: "Alright, then I'll trouble Sword Douluo to come along."
Having served as dean for so long, Yang Wudi had come to understand some of Ning Fengzhi's thoughts and agreed to their arrangements.
Sword Douluo is now at level 97, his peak level, and he's recently been enjoying sparring with others at Tianxing Academy.
It's estimated that he wants to reach level 98 through battle. The Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul is originally the Way of Killing, and the battlefield is actually the most suitable place for improvement and breakthrough. Back then, he was besieged by four Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall and only then did he break through to level 97. This time, fighting against the Soul Beast Clan, he might really be able to break through to level 98.
Another point is that Ning Fengzhi is absolutely unwilling to let the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School stay in Tianxing Academy for a long time. If he wants to send his own nephews and nieces to rebuild the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future, the Spirit Empire will eventually be an insurmountable obstacle. Giving a little help now is like sending charcoal in snowy weather, and at least he won't be ostracized by the Spirit Empire in the future.
Moreover, with Bibi Dong and Qian Dao remaining in the Martial Soul Empire, along with millions of troops, even though the current situation is extremely critical, they will be able to turn the tide sooner or later, and may even establish their prestige by taking advantage of the Soul Beast race.
After some communication, Yang Zhentian, Dugu Bo, Sword Douluo, and Ye Lengleng from Tianxing Academy went to Wuhun City to provide support, which can be considered a clear stance.
Moreover, in the current situation, unless one is a Title Douluo or a Flying Soul Master, no one else can keep up with the speed.
If Yang Wudi knew that this disaster in the Spirit Empire was orchestrated by Yang Podi, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
In just one hour, Wuhun City's six city walls were completely surrounded by countless soul beasts.
Surprisingly, there were quite a few low-level soul beasts here, but their numbers were astonishing. The entire area outside Wuhun City was pitch black, with Chinese soul beasts seemingly covering the sky, making people feel a little frightened when they saw them.
In particular, there were many flying spirit beasts in the sky, which looked extremely fierce. It was estimated that only flying spirit masters and titled Douluo could deal with them, since ordinary spirit masters could not fly. Moreover, the eighty-meter-high city wall could not stop these flying spirit beasts.
Even with Qian Daoliu's strength, his expression was extremely solemn as he looked at the boundless array of soul beasts. Although he already knew that there were a great many soul beasts attacking this time, it still far exceeded everyone's expectations.
As for the ordinary soul masters and soldiers, there seemed to be a trace of fear on their faces. Although they were determined to die for the Martial Soul Empire, none of them wanted to become food for soul beasts, which was worse than death.
Surprisingly, after surrounding Spirit Beast City, the spirit beast clan did not launch an attack immediately.
Instead, they arranged their troops to surround the entire Spirit City, with various forces deployed along the six city walls. Moreover, the different spirit beast races seemed to be coordinating with each other, making it seem less like an ordinary beast tide and more like a well-organized army.
Just then, a tremendous dragon roar echoed through the sky, followed by a booming voice that filled the entire Spirit City: "Humans, you have harmed the auspicious beasts of my Star Dou Great Forest! Thank you for immediately handing over the culprit who harmed the auspicious beasts, otherwise we will breach Spirit City and leave you without a single survivor."
"Our soul beast clan has come for revenge. We hope you will not resist. As long as you hand over the murderer, we will retreat immediately."
As the dragon's roar subsided, countless soul beasts roared, including dragon's roar, tiger's roar, and even the hiss of many strange soul beasts. All sorts of noises gathered together, as if to shake the heavens and the earth.
Faced with the roar of ten thousand beasts, even Qian Daoliu's eyes became serious, and many ordinary soldiers were filled with fear, and even hesitated for a moment.
Qian Daoliu and the many Title Douluos exchanged glances, and everyone felt incredulous.
While the normal soul beast race is full of killing and beast tides are not uncommon, they have never before had such a legitimate reason for attacking, and even managed to undermine the defenders' will to resist through cunning.
In particular, when Qian Daoliu glanced at the many soldiers guarding the city, he noticed that their resolve seemed weaker than before. The Soul Beast Clan seemed to have offered a choice, but in reality, it was just a ploy to undermine morale. The Martial Soul Empire would never hand over its emperor.
Seeing that people's hearts were beginning to stir, Qian Daoliu instantly flew into the sky, with six golden wings appearing on his back, and at the same time a huge phantom of a six-winged angel martial soul appeared.
Many people couldn't help but bow in respect upon seeing the phantom of the six-winged angel martial spirit. In their eyes, angels are symbols of holiness and justice.
Qian Daoliu's voice echoed throughout the entire arena: "All citizens of the Spirit Empire, I, Qian Daoliu, the High Priest of the Spirit Empire, hereby declare that the Spirit Beast race is treacherous, cunning, cruel, and inhumane. In order to protect our Spirit City..."
To protect our Martial Soul Empire, we must not allow their conspiracy to succeed.
Countless people, weapons in hand, roared, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Even those who were initially fearful and hesitant became exceptionally decisive at this moment.
At the same time, echoing the Thousand Paths Martial Soul was the entire Martial Soul City, especially the huge angel statue of the Martial Soul Empire, which emitted a holy light. The light illuminated everyone in the entire Martial Soul City, seemingly filled with infinite clarity, gentleness and decisiveness, and even filled everyone with fighting spirit. The fear and apprehension in their hearts were completely dispelled.
