The Master of Beasts-Chapter 691 - 202:

"Want? That's not something the City Lord can decide, these Spiritual Beasts have minds of their own, you must earn their recognition!"

"Like my Suan Ni here."

Mo Ming, somewhat smug, released the majestic Suan Ni, with its golden-red fur looking extremely graceful, and the single horn on its forehead emitting a precious red glow, appearing quite extraordinary.

"That's yours?" Xiao Hong felt like she was about to drool.

"Suan Ni? Fire Phoenix?" Kai Ming, who had just arrived at the city wall, was somewhat surprised.

"Master Kai Ming, you're here!"

"The monk received orders from the City Lord Mansion, saying that a new round of war is starting, so I've specially come to support." Kai Ming made a respectful gesture with his hands together.

"Master, there's little time left, so I won't bother with pleasantries. This time is not like the last, there will be no time for rest and recovery, so it will be an extremely prolonged battle." Mo Ming briefly explained.

"I understand, which direction am I responsible for?" Kai Ming seemed prepared.

"The master will be responsible for Zone Fourteen, the city there might need your intervention. Rest assured, you won't have to deal with it alone; the City Lord Mansion will send support."

"As for what support, as long as it doesn't disappoint the master, it's all good." Mo Ming smiled.

"That's good, while the monk's followers have increased significantly over the centuries, the strength is still a bit lacking, so it definitely requires some manpower!" Kai Ming seemed relieved.

"Then Master can prepare, the support will arrive in advance at that time."

"Alright!"

Just as he was about to step down from the city wall, Kai Ming suddenly turned back and asked, "Are the Suan Ni and Fire Phoenix cultivated by the City Lord himself?"

"Naturally." Mo Ming was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Kai Ming hesitated for a moment then asked, somewhat embarrassed, "I wonder if Master Mo can ask the City Lord if it's possible to cultivate a Truth Listener for the monk. Rest assured the monk will provide appropriate compensation!"

"Truth Listener?" Mo Ming looked strangely at Kai Ming, you're a monk from Wufa Temple, is a Truth Listener, a Spiritual Beast exclusive to high virtue monks, suitable for you?

"Alright, I'll ask for you." Mo Ming didn't voice the doubt in his heart; after all, it's just a question.

"Dang dang dang"

With the grand bell tolling, the already prepared Northern Guards and Star Moon Guards stepped in unison onto the Flying Boats!

"Cry" "Roar!"

Accompanied by rounds of beast roars, the once dormant Star Moon City revealed its ferocious face once more.

The renewed cultivators of the two guards stood tall, exuding an aura no less than the True Immortal twentieth Layer, with each small team's leader at Little Heavenly Immortal cultivation level, and the higher-ranking commanders nearly all at Heavenly Immortal cultivation!

In three hundred years, by integrating resources from the whole of Zone Thirteen and under Chen Jiuge's generous resource supply, ordinary Heavenly Immortals now don't count for much; as long as a bit more resources are spent, it's not a problem anyway, currently, resources are the least scarce.

Zhan Ge raised his long staff high, his fierce eyes sweeping over the cultivators under his command, yelling, "We Northern Guards are the strongest, this time bring out all you've got!"

The commander of the Star Moon Guards is Black Eye. Previously, Mo Yu wanted Hei Mu to take the position, but due to Hei Mu being older and with other considerations, he declined it, leading Black Eye to become the commander instead.

"No matter your background or whether you were a Loose Cultivator before, as long as you achieve merit, Star Moon City can give you whatever you want, whether it's building your own family or advancing your cultivation, it's not a problem." Black Eye stated pragmatically.

"Yes!"

Star Moon Pond

Chen Jiuge gently stroked one of Xiang Liu's large heads, whispering, "Soon it'll be your turn, this is your first appearance, don't disgrace us!"

Xiang Liu revealed a sly expression, snickering, "Rest assured, Master."

The other eight heads also emitted different sounds, but the message remained the same.

"Rest assured, Master, we're going!" Zuyan, holding a long staff, expressed with a fighting spirit.

"Good, go!"

"We'll bring back victory!" Zhen shook his bladed tail, huskily speaking.

..........

The City Lord of Zone Twelve is Mu Ling from the Mu Family. Due to his innate Wood Spirit Immortal Body, and since City No.12 and its surrounding areas have some Sky River Water, which breeds numerous Spirit Wood, his cultivation speed can effectively be enhanced.

According to normal development, as long as the strongest Core Disciples of the Five Elements Sect ascend to Elders, Mu Ling will be the new generation Core Disciple.

Unfortunately, the Five Elements Sect has now become the Five Elements branch of the Reincarnation Sacred Land, and the so-called Core Disciples have nothing to do with Mu Ling anymore.

Looking at the intelligence in hand, Mu Ling said expressionlessly, "I understand, have them ready. We began to take precautions long ago, just activate the Great Array directly."

"But City Lord, if we do that, the resource consumption will be quite high!"

"What's there to fear, if the resources run low, we'll ask Zone Eleven and Zone Ten for more. This isn't only our problem, go then." Mu Ling waved his hand.

Once alone in the great hall, Mu Ling couldn't keep his composure any longer, his expression turned grim as he muttered to himself, "I should've just run away from the start, saying things like tempering myself, how foolish!"

Mu Ling's status in the Five Elements Sect is not low; to an extent, it surpasses even ordinary Golden Immortals due to his Immortal Body. As long as there are enough resources and time, breaking through to Golden Immortal is just a small hurdle.

"Chen Jiuge, alas, this disciple from the Lower Realm, how did he manage to take over Thirteen City with such meager foundations from a small survival point?"

"Just the City Defense Array alone requires a power exceeding Golden Immortal to forcibly attack it for more than a quarter of an hour to break it open!"

"Furthermore, the current environment in the desert doesn't allow a power exceeding Heavenly Immortal to appear, right?"

Mu Ling was somewhat vexed, and next moment, a pressing paper crane flew in from the outside of the great hall.

With a flash of Spirit Light, an urgent voice echoed, "City Lord, it's bad, the Great Array has been broken, that Star Moon City has Spiritual Beasts specifically restraining Barrier Array Formations, the array is useless!"

"What?" Mu Ling was taken aback, Spiritual Beasts specifically breaking barriers and arrays, does the True Realm have such unkind creatures?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Buzz buzz buzz"

A large number of paper cranes flew in one after another, carrying fear-filled voices of cultivators guarding various points.

"Spiritual Beasts, so many of them!"

"City Lord, they actually have Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts, too strong, we can't hold them!"

"City Lord, we've done our best!"

As the last paper crane extinguished and fell to the ground, Mu Ling took a deep breath, his face became serious, the faint green sleeve waved as he said righteously, "Seems like surrender is the only option!"

"Father said that preserving the mountains means eventually having wood to burn, I'm doing this for my comrades. After all, I'm not afraid myself, so you can't blame me!"

"Besides, you, old man, also hide like a turtle in the Reincarnation Sacred Land, you can't criticize me, right?"

Muttered for a while, Mu Ling took out a green Luminous Pearl, displaying a bit of reluctance on his beautiful face: "There has to be some justification for it!"

"It would be nice if Chen Jiuge could appear here."

"Are you calling for me?" Chen Jiuge appeared ghost-like from a shadowed spot.

"What the..."

Mu Ling was dumbfounded to see two figures slowly rising from the shadow, no, it should be one person and one beast.

The Shadow Demon appeared holding Chen Jiuge in a princess carry.

Chen Jiuge actually dislikes this posture, but there's no other way; Xiao Ying, despite his long cultivation time and having access to the best resources, could only barely manage to carry people through shadows.

Jumping down from Xiao Ying's embrace, Chen Jiuge straightened his clothes and said indifferently, "Didn't expect the famous Wood Vein's top talent to be in the Golden Desert!"

Mu Ling sneered, putting away the Luminous Pearl with a hint of mockery, "Isn't that so? A Little Cultivator from the Lower Realm, you should be grateful and respectful for joining the Five Elements Sect and receiving Elder Lou Boxuan's favor."

"With actions like these, don't you feel ashamed?"

"Ashamed? Each has their own fate." Chen Jiuge responded expressionlessly.

"No more words, if you want Zone Twelve, then you'll have to fight me for it!" Mu Ling said fiercely.

"Bring it on!"

Mu Ling tossed his hair back, a dense vitality emitted from his body, then two wooden short swords appeared in his hands. Taking a step forward ready to attack, he saw an incredible scene.

Only to see Chen Jiuge wave his hand, and countless Spiritual Beasts filled the entire hall and the square outside!

"Oh dear, what's the point of fighting now!"
