"Boom!!"
Mu Jinyu began to feel an even more intense tremor at this moment, and the furniture inside the inn started to shake violently.
"Bang!"
At this moment, the tremor intensified further, causing several vases and porcelain bowls to fall from the tables and shatter into pieces on the ground!
This intense tremor made Mu Jinyu's expression change slightly.
Beast tides are classified into levels, some are just first-level ferocious beasts causing chaos, which can be easily handled by dispatching a cultivator from the Divinity Transformation Realm.
However, some beast tides are quite terrifying, comparable to a category twelve typhoon, and even powerful beings from the Fanxu Realm may not be able to stop them!
This is because the ferocious beasts in these beast tides are not just second-level ferocious beasts; there are even third-rank demonic beasts.
There might even be a Great Demon King among them.
Once such a beast tide appears, without timely intervention from numerous Fanxu Realm experts, an entire city might be trampled and destroyed!
The current tremor might not signify a top-grade beast tide attack, but it's definitely not just a minor beast tide of first and second-rank ferocious beasts!
"The beast tide has come again. All cultivators here, stand up and join us in the battle!"
"Yes, otherwise if the Demon Slaying City falls, no one can survive!"
At this moment, several cultivators in the inn glanced over the crowd, spoke a few words solemnly, and hurriedly rushed outside.
Mu Jinyu noticed that before they left, they glanced at him several more times.
They probably saw that he was one of the stronger ones present and were hoping he would step in to help.
Of course, to avoid morally forcing people into action, they didn't mandate that everyone must resist the beast tide but instead led by example to show their determination.
This attitude also made Mu Jinyu understand that they were likely the native residents of Demon Slaying City. Their family and friends all lived there, and if the city was overrun by the beast tide, they would have nowhere to flee.
Therefore, even though they knew the beast tide was probably of a high level, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and step forward to resist!
Their attitude was indeed effective, stirring up many passing cultivators with fervor, who then also rushed outside to help resist the beast tide!
"You all stay here, I'll go out and take a look."
Mu Jinyu said with a slightly serious expression, turning back to Jian Ruyan and Wen Rou.
With the emergence of such a beast tide, he really couldn't just stand by and do nothing, especially when he had the ability to help.
Unless it was a situation that could not be helped in the end, he would surely do his best to assist the citizens of Demon Slaying City to suppress the beast tide!
Otherwise, if the city falls, how many innocent civilians would die!
"Let's go out and help too."
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Wen Rou immediately said without hesitation.
Seeing that Mu Jinyu wanted to refuse, Wen Rou said softly, "We aren't weaklings with no power to fight. We ourselves have the cultivation level of the Fourth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm, and with the spiritual treasures you gave us, we could even fight against a Fanxu Realm. What are you worried about?"
"Besides, I only plan to fight near the outskirts, not to venture deep into the beast tide."
Jian Ruyan also nodded, looking at Mu Jinyu with determined eyes.
In such a situation, she couldn't just stand by and do nothing!
If there's an opportunity to help, she definitely would.
She worked hard on her cultivation, not only to reunite with her brother and free herself from others' constraints but also with the intent that when she has the ability, she could help others in distress, offering aid instead of just protecting herself!
Mu Jinyu, looking at the determined eyes of the two women and feeling the tremor intensify, nodded and said, "Alright, take care of yourselves. If anything happens, crush these two jade slips!"
Saying this, Mu Jinyu took out two jade slips and handed them to Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan.
These jade slips didn't have many functions, but within a short range, once crushed, he could sense it and immediately pinpoint the location to rush over.
If Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan encountered danger, crushing the jade slips would alert him as he continuously teleported over with his transparent domain to save them.
"Alright."
Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan both took the jade slips and then hurriedly followed Mu Jinyu outside.
Soon, the three arrived at the base of the city wall. With a tap of their feet, they soared like wild geese, landing on top of the wall in a few swift moves.
Then, they saw from a few hundred miles away on the Demon Beast Mountain Range, a dark shadow appeared across the earth.
Upon closer inspection, it wasn't just a shadow,
but rather a tide of tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of ferocious beasts!
The previous violent tremors were due to their approach, even more terrifying than thousands of horses galloping in unison!
Moreover, Mu Jinyu carefully observed that among the hundreds of thousands of ferocious beasts, although first and second-rank ferocious beasts made up the majority, there were also many third-rank beasts.
In just a quick glance, he spotted at least fifty third-rank demonic beasts.
Equivalent to fifty Fanxu Realm powerhouses!
This could be considered an unprecedented colossal beast tide!
The dozens of cultivators on the wall felt a chill run down their spines, and someone couldn't help but shout, "Quickly ring the alarm bell and summon the City Lord to lead the City Guard Army against the beast tide!"
Not long after he spoke, the soldiers on the wall snapped out of their daze, faces pale, as they hurriedly rushed to ring the alarm bell.
"Dong dong dong!!!"
"Boom boom boom!!"
The alarm bell rang three short and three long tones, signaling the highest level of warning, indicating that Demon Slaying City faced the threat of destruction. Everyone in the city, unless they were ordinary people without any cultivation, had to stand up to resist the calamity!
Soon, all the cultivators in the city, numbering in the hundreds, stood on the wall, looking at the approaching beast tide, feeling their scalps tingle.
"Damn, what level of beast tide is this? Can we really resist such a beast tide with just us?"
"I think we should abandon Demon Slaying City and flee before the beast tide arrives!"
"Flee? Do you really think you can escape? Behind us is Mingyue City, with even fewer cultivators. If we abandon it, once Demon Slaying City falls, the beast tide will have an unobstructed path, and the entire Wu Kingdom will face catastrophe, with countless deaths!"
"But I'm not from the Wu Kingdom!"
The one speaking was left speechless by the other's argument.
But he couldn't, out of anger, tell the other to get lost and that they didn't need him to defend Demon Slaying City!
If he said that, and a bunch of people fled Demon Slaying City, they would be doomed!
"Sigh, I wonder if Wu Zhiming is in Demon Slaying City. I heard not long ago that he's preparing to participate in the Hidden Dragon Conference and has been training near the Demon Beast Mountain Range! If he is here, the losses from this beast tide might be minimized!"
"Yes, if the Warrior of Wu Kingdom is here, with his strength, he should be able to stop this beast tide!"
"That's right, I remember that two years ago, a beast tide of similar scale happened, and he was able to stop it back then. Now, two years later, with his strength even greater, it should be even easier for him!"
"Boom!"
At this moment, someone suddenly leaped from below, jumped onto the wall, and before the City Lord and City Guard Army could appear, directly jumped over the city wall, standing out on the plain!
Without looking back, they rushed directly towards the dark mass of the beast tide ahead!
