However, even so, the family’s crisis had not been lifted without confirmation of the scale of the beast tide; it was no wonder Lin Xingrong couldn’t make it back to the market city on time.

Afterward, the group discussed some arrangements.

Those from the family in Qianchuan Market must continue to hold their ground, maintain the business of Luoyun Pavilion as much as possible, and according to the family’s demands, use the reserve of Spirit Stones in the shop to secretly acquire consumable war resources like talisman paper.

What’s more important, Lin Xingmin needed to gather intelligence in a timely manner; as the largest market in the southern Wei Kingdom, the Cultivation World was undoubtedly the most well-informed in this region.

As soon as they obtained specific information, they must send it back to the family immediately to allow the family to prepare in advance for overcoming the crisis.

...

In the dead of night, when everything was quiet, all the family members arranged all matters and plans, and then dispersed.

…

Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, half a month had elapsed.

During these days, Lin Xingmin and three other family members mingled in various parts of the market city every day.

Auction houses, street stalls, the Market City Hall, and various restaurants and shops all saw the figures of these people.

Their purpose was clear: to mingle wherever there were crowds of people and to interact with Loose Cultivators who liked to travel or undergo training.

That day, on the square outside the Market City Hall.

At that moment, Lin Xingmin was planning to cross the square to check the street stalls, intending to both purchase some cultivation necessities and to continue gathering intelligence.

For several days in a row, there had been no news about the beast tide, which made Lin Xingmin suspect that his family might have made a misjudgment.

However, considering that this matter was too crucial—if they encountered a medium or large beast tide, advance preparation could greatly increase the chances of surviving the crisis—he thought that even if it was a misjudgment, the family would only be sacrificing some resources and manpower, which was surely better than losing the lives of family members.

With these thoughts, he understood the painstaking efforts of the family.

Regathering his focus, he took steps towards the street stall area, ready to continue his intelligence gathering.

Just as he was about to cross the vast plaza and enter the street stall area, three powerful rings of a bell sounded.

Immediately after, several Cultivators wearing golden Daoist robes appeared in front of the doors of the Market City Hall; embroidered on their chests was a round sun, marking them undoubtedly as disciples of the Zhenyang Sect.

Upon hearing these three bell rings, Cultivators in every corner of the market, who were busily engaged in their own affairs, ceased their activities, and some of the Cultivators who had been staying there for years suddenly turned pale.

They knew what the three bell rings signified.

Usually, in the market city, if a fight broke out among Foundation Establishment Cultivators, there would be at most one bell ring. Only in the event of a major incident that could threaten the safety of the market would the bell be rung thrice in succession.

Some Cultivators walking on the streets even quietly speculated whether these three bell rings signified an attack on the city’s Formation by a Golden Elixir Expert.

At that moment, Lin Xingmin also paled considerably upon hearing the bells.

Seeing the Zhenyang Sect disciples outside the Market Hall who seemed to be about to post an announcement, he rushed over, eager to find out what was happening to warrant such an alarm.

Since he was not far away, he was one of the first to reach the front, securing an excellent vantage point.

Behind him, a large number of Cultivators flowed towards the area like waves, soon resulting in nearly a thousand people gathered here, and the number continued to rise.

On the raised platform outside the great hall, two Zhenyang Sect disciples put up a huge announcement on a carved pillar.

Lin Xingmin checked the contents of the announcement immediately, and as his gaze swept over it, his face turned white in an extremely short time.

Not only him, but all the Cultivators present, whether in the Foundation Establishment Stage or the Qi Refinement Realm, all turned an ashen color.

At that moment, a huge number of Cultivators reading the brief message on the announcement couldn’t help but mutter to themselves.

“The Yuanwu Country Xiuxian Realm was destroyed by a beast tide outbreak?”

“The beast tide erupted in Qingzhou of the Yuanwu Kingdom and is rapidly spreading to the surrounding areas; it is assessed that it could be a medium-sized beast tide.”

Some Cultivators who arrived heard the murmured words, and all were shocked beyond measure.

Regathering his thoughts, Lin Xingmin considered the message announced and the discussions among the Cultivators. He fell into contemplation.

While the outbreak was in Yuanwu Kingdom, the beast tide was not small in scale and was still expanding.

Even though several countries separated the Wei Kingdom from Yuanwu Kingdom—making it unlikely to be the primary battleground—the Wei Kingdom would definitely experience some impact and shock.

This made the medium-sized beast tide a serious test for the entire Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World.

However, thus far in the Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World, there had been no news of large-scale Demonic Beast attacks, and the Sect Families and powers had some time to react.

That being the case, this could be considered somewhat good news.

Nevertheless, a beast tide outbreak was a matter of when, not if, and the attitudes and responses of the Golden Elixir Forces within the Wei Kingdom were extremely important and could be considered the Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World’s main force against the beast tide.

After all, in the face of the vast Demon Beast Army, if ordinary Foundation Establishment Powers were attacked, they would easily be annihilated.

Moreover, within the Cultivation World, aside from the Golden Elixir Forces and some family powers, the Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World also had a vast number of Loose Cultivators.

When a beast tide broke out, they either had to leave the Wei Kingdom for places like Qingzhou or stay in medium to large market cities, fighting alongside Golden Elixir Forces to survive the crisis.

Otherwise, going alone outside, encountering a Demon Beast Army, was absolutely a deadly situation.
