Chapter 2572: Demon Beast Commander

"Buzz!"

The area around the City Lord Mansion suddenly shook. Following this, a beam of lightning shot towards the sky above the City Lord Mansion, stunning everyone with its mysterious appearance because they all knew what it signified: it was the sign of the City Protection Array being activated!

In an instant, everyone was excitedly watching that lightning with intense excitement. They finally saw hope, and as they looked at the Demon Beasts rushing towards them, they unleashed unprecedented fighting power, madly slaughtering the Demon Beasts in front of them because once they finished off these beasts, they could finally relax!

Just as everyone had anticipated, the lightning reached mid-air and suddenly exploded, with lightning arcs extending in all directions at an indescribable speed, enveloping the entire city in a protective layer of radiating lightning.

"The City Protection Array is activated, charge!"

"Charge, slaughter these damned Demon Beasts!"

...

Seeing the City Protection Array successfully activated, everyone became even more frenzied, risking their lives to attack the Demon Beasts trapped on the city walls and in the air by the City Protection Array.

The Demon Beasts outside the array also went into a rampage upon seeing its activation, recklessly charging towards it. Yet the beasts had no idea that this City Protection Array was different from before; as they collided with the Energy Shield, numerous electric arcs emerged, instantly killing those beasts. Lightning continually flickered, appearing on the Demon Beasts behind, their corpses piling up layer upon layer...

About a cup of tea’s time later, the Demon Beasts outside the city had actually retreated, no longer charging to their deaths, and inside the city, the beasts had been cleared out by the humans!

"Great!"

"We held it!"

"We succeeded, we succeeded!"

...

For a moment, the entire city was in jubilation, cheering and celebrating. To them, this was already a success. At least now there was no danger as long as the City Protection Array remained unbroken, and they could finally take a breather.

When the City Lord and Lin Feng emerged from the basement, the entire city was in a state of extreme excitement. Even the City Lord’s face finally showed a rarely-seen smile. He turned and bowed to Lin Feng, saying, "On behalf of everyone in Ling City, thank you!"

Lin Feng helped up the City Lord, showing no sign of happiness, and said to him, "It’s too early to celebrate now. The Demon Beasts haven’t retreated; they’re just waiting outside the City Protection Array, as if awaiting some command. Don’t you think there’s something wrong with this?"

The City Lord, hearing this, widened his eyes in alarm and immediately flew into the sky. Seeing the scene outside the city from afar, he rushed back to Lin Feng’s side and said, "You mean the assault on the city by the Demon Beasts hasn’t stopped and will continue?"

"It will definitely continue!" Lin Feng gave a sure answer, his eyes flashing coldly, and added, "Moreover, haven’t you noticed something? Aren’t these Demon Beasts unusually clever, knowing when to retreat? Doesn’t that tell you something?"

Lin Feng’s words struck the City Lord like lightning; he stared wide-eyed at Lin Feng, exclaiming, "You mean...you mean there’s a Commander behind these Demon Beasts, directing this attack!"

"Exactly. If we don’t eliminate the commanding Demon Beast, Ling City will continue to face attacks, and the next one will be even fiercer!" Lin Feng nodded, expressing his greatest worry. Therefore, it was no time for elation as it was still too early to celebrate.

"Then...what should we do!"

The City Lord once again grew anxious, finding himself at a loss. The Demon Beasts outside stretched as far as the eye could see. He truly didn’t know what to do now. As Lin Feng said, to resolve Ling City’s crisis, it was essential to take out the mastermind behind the Demon Beasts, or else nothing mattered!

Thinking about the upcoming events, his face turned deadly pale. If the Demon Beasts attacked again, even with the City Protection Array, Ling City wouldn’t last long...

"Forget it, leave this matter to me. What you need to do is, before I return, hold the city at all costs!"

Lin Feng saw the City Lord’s state and knew entrusting this challenge to him was hopeless. To orchestrate such a siege, the opposing Demon Beast Commander must be of the Demon Venerable level; nothing else could accomplish this feat. Within Ling City, Lin Feng was likely the only one capable of confronting such a being.

With these words, Lin Feng ignored the City Lord, his form flickering as he returned to the Holy Pill Pavilion.

"Young Master, has the crisis in Ling City been averted this time?"

When Gu Tianhai saw Lin Feng appear, he immediately asked nervously. Although he could no longer hear the sounds of battle with the Demon Beasts outside, he didn’t believe things would be that simple, as Lin Feng’s face showed no sign of happiness upon his return.

"This situation is very troublesome. I’m afraid I’ll have to take action personally. But you also need to be prepared on your side. If, by any chance, the situation changes and the city cannot hold, and the Holy Pill Pavilion cannot hold either, you must take everyone into the Alchemy Room in the backyard and ensure you hold out until I return."

Lin Feng looked at Gu Tianhai with a serious expression and said, this being his most worrying issue. Although he had regained his strength, he had little confidence in facing Demon Beasts of the Demon Venerable Level. Furthermore, he didn’t know exactly what form the other side would take, so he had no assurance this time.

Upon hearing this, Gu Tianhai’s face instantly darkened as he realized how dangerous the crisis in Ling City was. Since Lin Feng had given such instructions, the situation must have deteriorated to an extreme point. Without any hesitation, he said to Lin Feng, "Young Master, rest assured. As long as I am here, I will not let anything happen to the Holy Pill Pavilion. I will do as you say. If it comes to that point, I’ll take everyone and hide, waiting for your return!"

"Good!"

Lin Feng nodded. As long as there were no worries on the side of the Holy Pill Pavilion, he would have one less concern and then turned around and left the Holy Pill Pavilion.

With a movement, he stood on the walls of Ling City and found the walls already covered with the corpses of Demon Beasts. Even beneath the city walls, there were Demon Beast corpses everywhere, the air thick with the stench of blood. He gave the front a cold glance before closing his eyes...

Ten miles!

Twenty miles!

Thirty miles!

...

His Divine Sense began to spread out. This time, in order to search for the Demon Beast Commander, his Divine Sense was meticulously detailed, scanning at a slow speed, consuming a considerable amount of it. However, at this moment, it was the only way to quickly find the Demon Beast Commander.

But, to Lin Feng’s surprise, even after scanning the area within two hundred miles covered by the Demon Beasts around him, he didn’t discover any particularly powerful Demon Venerable Realm beasts, which made him frown. It was impossible, he thought to himself, there must be a commander for these Demon Beasts, but where is it hiding?

With doubt in his mind, Lin Feng scanned again, but this time, just like before, he found nothing. If there was a Demon Venerable Realm beast hiding among these Demon Beasts, it was impossible for him not to detect it. Given the current situation, it could mean either of two things: either the beast had a special method to conceal its aura, or it had a Divine Sense so extraordinary that it could command a battlefield hundreds if not thousands of miles away!

Wait!

Lin Feng’s eyes suddenly lit up as he finally realized something. Lingxiao Sect was thousands of miles away from Ling City, and both Ling City and Lingxiao Sect were under attack simultaneously. Could it be that the command of the Demon Venerable Realm beast could extend this far? It was entirely possible!

Thinking of this, Lin Feng’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. If his conjecture was correct, then this battle with the beast would be extraordinarily dangerous, but to save Lingxiao Sect and Ling City, he must engage this beast in battle!

The look in his eyes revealed infinite killing intent again. In an instant, the murderous aura burst forth from his body, shattering the Demon Beasts’ corpses on the walls around him. Meanwhile, he closed his eyes again and extended his Divine Sense, beginning to search for suspicious targets!

To Lin Feng’s surprise, after two hours, he finally discovered the target’s location, and he was certain that the target was indeed the commander of this Demon Beast siege...

...

In a valley, an elder wearing a black robe, who didn’t appear very old, sat at a stone table drinking tea while two middle-aged men behind him assisted with pouring water. In front of the elder, more than a dozen middle-aged men knelt.

"You still haven’t taken down Lingxiao Sect and Ling City until now. Truly a bunch of useless creatures!" said the black-robed elder coldly while sipping his tea, looking at the dozen or so kneeling middle-aged men.

"Master, it really isn’t our fault. Lingxiao Sect’s strength is too strong, and with the Sect Protection Array as a reliance, we suffered heavy casualties and still couldn’t breach it."

"Master, we aren’t finding excuses. We could have taken down Ling City today, but unexpectedly, the City Protection Array suddenly restarted, and its power seemed to increase immensely. My Demon Beasts couldn’t push through..."

"Master, Lingxiao Sect has too many strong individuals. No one expected Lingxiao Sect to be hiding six Divine Venerable Powerhouses, and besides, there are many, many Divine King level powerhouses..."

...

More than a dozen middle-aged men knelt trembling on the ground, dread filling their hearts for fear of angering the black-robed elder. They were more frustrated than they could bear as well, not knowing from where such an old monster had appeared, having reached the later stages of the Demon Venerable Realm, with a terrifying strength. Demon Beasts of the middle stage of the Demon Venerable Realm couldn’t even withstand a single blow. Were it not for yielding to the strength of this black-robed elder, how could they have rushed their subordinates from hundreds of miles? They genuinely didn’t understand what this old monster wanted. They didn’t want to die...
