Chapter 588: Terrible Situation
Mo Kongyuan and the others were silent. Although they were ordinary Level 8 monster beasts, their cultivation was about the same as the realm of Great Fulfilment. To top it all off, the monster beasts of Little Silver Ancient Mountain were definitely much stronger.
Once those monster beasts infiltrated a country, the consequences were dire.
“Do we know where these monster beasts are?” Chu Fengyun asked a member of Wu Feng Hall who was accompanying them on the journey.
“No. By the time we arrived, all the villagers were already dead and there were no traces of the monster beasts. We followed their tracks for a while, but the moment they entered the forest, they disappeared. Even the most experienced hunters were baffled! These monster beasts are extremely cunning,” the person replied miserably.
Everyone was quiet. If the location of these monster beasts were known, with the guardians’ cultivation at the realm of True Essence, as well as with the aid of the Wu Feng Hall experts and the army, they would have been able to clear the nest. However, now they had a lot of cultivation with no place to use it.
“Brother Chu, what do you think we should do next?” The guardians were out of ideas and could only seek Chu Fengyun’s opinion. He was the guardian of the sovereign country after all, and the earliest place the monster beasts had rampaged was within the borders of Ding Lin Country.
“Tell the soldiers to be on guard and wait. Wu Feng Hall members, prepare to respond. If you meet any monster beast below Level 8, kill them on the spot. If you encounter a monster beast of Level 8 and above, let me know at once,” Chu Fengyun ordered the follower beside him.
“Yes, Great Wors.h.i.+pper.” The follower noted everything, and then turned around and left.
“We should go to Little Silver Ancient Mountain. These monster beasts are, at most, Level 8. Although strong and big, other people can still deal with them, with some losses. If other monster beasts exit Little Silver Ancient Mountain, when the time comes, even we would find it hard to deal with them,” Chu Fengyun said directly.
Mo Kongyuan and the rest sighed helplessly. Chu Fengyun was not wrong. From the tracks, the most powerful monster beasts that attacked the village were Level 8 at most. However, in Little Silver Ancient Mountain, even Level 9 monster beasts would not be surprising. There were even demon kings and demon emperors that surpa.s.sed level 9. If they were allowed to leave Little Silver Ancient Mountain, the entire continent would be inviting disaster.
Therefore, the most urgent task now was to go to Little Silver Ancient Mountain. However, thinking about facing those devilish beasts that harmed hundreds of innocent citizens, the guardians’ hearts were heavy.
Mo Kongyuan and the others hastily wrote letters, then signed and sealed them, allowing Wu Feng Hall to pa.s.s the letters on to their respective countries, requesting their armies to increase safety measures.
After that, the entourage of people followed the hilly path and entered the depths of the Silver Ancient Mountain Range.
Along the way, there were traces of the monster beasts’ atrocities everywhere. Seeing that they came from the direction of Little Silver Ancient Mountain, Mo Kongyuan and the rest felt their hearts become even heavier.
“Mister Mo, exactly how strong are the monster beasts in Little Silver Ancient Mountain?” Ling Chuxi asked curiously.
“Back when the various sects and monster beasts fought the final battle, both sides had more or less equivalent cultivation and there were many that died or were heavily wounded. In the end, both parties made a wager for the five top experts of the great sects to fight against four great demon kings and a demon emperor. If the monster beasts won, then each country of the mainland was to charter half of the land for the monster beasts to reproduce and live. If they lost, then they would retreat into Little Silver Ancient Mountain and both parties would work together to place the Eight Gate Array, so the monster beasts could not leave. After a few bitter battles, our sects won two rounds and lost one, winning against the monster beasts by a narrow margin,” Mo Kongyuan explained.
“So strong! But didn’t you say five top notch experts? Why did it end with two wins and a loss?” Ling Chuxi was speechless. She knew about the sects’ power and greatness, but she never thought that the monster beasts would be so strong. At the same time, she found it a little odd – why was the outcome of five rounds of battle two wins and a loss?
