Chapter Thirty-Nine: Ominous News

  There are only three days left before the new book list is released, don't forget to collect it, everyone! These last few days, if you have votes, don't save them, give them all to me!

  Accompanied by Li Wanpeng, Xiao Rugui and Wu Meng's unbridled laughter, Xu Haoran's face gradually turned white, green, purple, and black. The blue veins on his forehead bulged out, like a worm crawling under the skin. The anger hidden under his eyes could no longer be restrained, and it seemed that he was about to erupt like a volcano.

  Just then, from the desolate wilderness outside the city walls came a loud noise that shook the air. Over a hundred figures stumbled and ran towards the city gate. Hearing the footsteps and cries for help from afar, Xu Haoran's heart sank, thinking to himself:

  "It's done! Tongyu Valley has been breached."

  Raising his eyes to gaze into the distance, his heart was bleeding even more, because within his line of sight, he only saw over a hundred human figures.

  "Could it be that out of my thousand family disciples, only a little over a hundred are left, and the rest have all fallen in battle?"

  At this thought, a mouthful of blood surged up his throat. Xu Haoran forced himself to swallow it down and turned his head to glare fiercely at Xu Hao-liang beside him, his eyes revealing his anger without restraint.

  At this time, Xu Hao also became stupid. He had thought that the thousand disciples of the family would lose a bit more, but he absolutely did not think that they would lose so greatly. If he had thought of such a result, he would rather die than do it that way. He must have sent out some powerful people from the family instead of just sending Xu Haoran's direct descendants and limiting the number of powerful people. At this time, Xu Hao even had the heart to die, he really didn't know how to face the elders in the family, stupidly staring blankly at the more than 100 people getting closer and closer.

  At this time, Li Wanpeng, Xiao Rugui and Wu Meng stopped their loud laughter, but the smile on their faces was even more intense. Thinking of the loss of the Xu family this time, and thinking that the thousand-year inheritance of the Xu family would become his own, he felt as if he had drunk iced water on a hot summer day, feeling refreshed from the inside out. The three faces smiled like three chrysanthemums.

  Over a hundred figures gradually drew near, and the few people on the city wall looked at those who had become fugitives with different thoughts. Suddenly, Xu Hao, who had been standing stupidly there all along, jumped up from the ground and shouted loudly:

  "Big brother, those aren't our Xie family people, those aren't our Xie family people!"

  Xu Haoran heard Xu Hao's shout, and his expression was stunned. He looked up carefully and found that it wasn't someone from his own family. At this moment, Li Wanpeng, Xiao Rugui, and Wu Meng's faces all changed, especially Li Wanpeng's face turned dark and frightening. Because everyone had already recognized him, the one running towards the city gate was indeed a person from the City Master's Mansion, and the one running in front was none other than Li Wanpeng's younger brother, Li Wanjing.

  Li Wanbao was in a sorry state, his clothes were tattered and his face was filled with fear. From afar, he saw Li Wanpeng standing on the city wall and shouted in a sobbing voice:

  "Big brother, it's not good! The monster is attacking from the official road!"

  "What?"

  Li Wanpeng was shocked and filled with doubts, but at this moment there was no time to think. Outside were his own brothers, and judging from their disheveled appearance, it was clear that they were being pursued by a large number of demonic beasts. Moreover, it seemed that they had almost exhausted their true yuan, and were unable to fly up onto the city walls using their swords. So, anxiously, he suddenly shouted:

  "Open the gate!"

  The soldiers guarding the city gate immediately opened the gate in a flurry, and after more than 100 people rushed in, they quickly closed the gate. As soon as Li Wanbao entered the gate, he let out a breath of relief that had been tense all along, and his spirit relaxed, so he sat down on the ground with a thud. The others also had a feeling of surviving a disaster, which made them suddenly feel dizzy and faint, and they fell to the ground one by one, shaking and staggering.

  Li Wanpeng on the city wall saw his brother and subordinates in a state of disarray, and a surge of anger burst out from his heart. He shouted loudly at those below:

  "Get over here, all of you!"

  Li Wanbao immediately got up with a start, trembling and staggering as he walked towards the city wall, his disciples also struggled to get up from the ground, their faces pale, following behind Li Wanbao with their heads bowed.

  Before Li Wanpeng arrived, Li Wanbao and others "thudded" to their knees in front of Li Wanpeng, crying with a sad face, not daring to make a sound.

  "What exactly happened?" Li Wanpeng asked in a low voice with a serious face.

  "Big brother!" Li Wanpeng asked this one question, and Li Wanbao's tears flowed down, sobbing in a hoarse voice:

  "Big brother, I don't know what's going on! Those demonic beasts suddenly appeared on the official road and rushed over, filling the sky and stretching as far as the eye could see. You also know that there's no way to defend oneself on the official road, it was just an instant, the troops were swallowed up by the demonic beasts, heaven have mercy, I reacted early, before the demonic beasts pounced, I turned around and ran, this is how I managed to keep my life and come back to see big brother! Otherwise, little brother and big brother would be separated forever!"

  Li Wanbao took two steps forward, stretched out his hands and hugged Li Wanpeng's legs, wailing loudly. Li Wanpeng stared blankly at Li Wanbao who was hugging his legs, suddenly grabbed Li Wanbao's collar, lifted him up with one hand, and asked in a trembling voice:

  "You're saying that the demonic beast came from the official road and killed its way over?"

  "Yes, big brother!" Li Wanbao wiped his nose with his hand.

  Li Wanpeng loosened his grip, and Li Wanbao fell to the ground again. The city wall was silent, with only a heavy breathing sound left. Except for Li Wanpeng's defeated face, Xiao Rugui, Wu Meng, and Xu Haoran all had serious faces, looking very unsightly.

  Xiao Rugui and Wu Meng immediately thought that if the demon beasts came from the official road, then after they swallowed the people of the city master's mansion, there would be three choices.

  One is to withdraw back to Fang Tian Cheng, which seems unlikely. The second is to follow closely behind Li Wan Bao and others, attacking Zhong Du City, but that depends on whether a beast tide will appear outside the city. The third is for the demon beasts to charge towards the Cang Mang mountain range, attacking from behind the Xiao, Wu, and Xu families. In this way, the people of the Xiao, Wu, and Xu families will be attacked from both front and back, thoroughly trapped in the beast tide.

  Li Wanbao retreated at the critical moment, saw the opportunity early, and was lucky enough to escape with his life. The remaining three families were completely engulfed by the beast tide.

  In the end, I'm afraid no one will escape with their lives. Even if some are lucky enough to escape, there won't be many of them.

  At this time, seeing Li Wanbao still crying there, he remembered that he had fled before the war and his own family's disciples.

  Surrounded by danger, several people's hearts were filled with resentment and anger, each staring fiercely at Li Wan.

  Treasure.
