Rank 1 City Alert

"Have you all read the reports? What do you think of this?" An old man said while looking at the people around him.

A bunch of papers can be seen lying around the table. A young man with yellow hair said, " We of the Hunter Association guessed that a beast tide might happen. We do not know what the cause of it yet."

"Li Qiang, you should not jump to that conclusion yet. There might be a new predator inside the forest that's why those beasts moved to the outer layer." said a man that gives of a noble aura.

"Ling Family Head, there are a lot of strong beasts inside the forest. One predator will not cause such a commotion." Li Qiang said.

The Ling Family Head smirked and said, " What if there is a group of them?"

The group of people was startled by his words. This was the first time they heard of this kind of guess.

"There was a group from my family that went inside the forest last week. Half of them died while the rest are injured. They said that there were a lot of wolves in the middle part of the area." The Ling Family Head added.

"Certainly a pack of wolves would be a threat to the beasts and cultivators. Still, those wolves will be killed by the other strong beasts even if we do not do anything."

The old man then thought about it and said, "No, those wolves will be able to survive if they had an arcane beast on their ranks."

"An arcane beast?!!?"

"Those beasts are a nightmare! There was once a city that was destroyed just because they attacked an arcane beast."

An Arcane beast possesses a strength of a Soul Formation Cultivator. Depending on the beast's bloodline, it can take multiple Soul Formation Cultivator to take down one.

"Li Qiang, is there any news on the central part of the forest?" The old man asked Li Qiang.

"It has only been a week, it is too early for those that came to the center of the forest to go back."

The old man then announced, "Issue a rank 1 alert for the entire city. Warn those that plan to go to the forest to be careful. Tell them a large pack of wolves might be inside. Do not spread the news that there might be a new arcane beast, we do not need the citizens to panic.

Also, prepare for a possible beast tide. Li Qiang, how long will it take for the reinforcements to come here if we ask for them?"

"If it's just cultivators of the Nascent Soul and Soul Formation stage, we could have them enter the teleportation array. If we want Core Formation and Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they will arrive in a week." Li Qiang stated.

"Hmm, you can notify them first. The cultivators in the city are enough. We are still not sure if the beast tide will happen."

Mu Yue has reached the peak level of 2nd step Qi Condensation stage after hunting in the forest. She also now knows that Xiao Yan was at the late stage of 3rd step Qi Condensation.

"Hey Mu Yue, did you notice that there are more guards on the city wall that is facing the forest?" Xiao Yan said while they were walking.

A passerby heard what Xiao Yan said and told her, "The City issued a rank 1 alert. They said there was a large pack of wolves inside the forest."

The two continued walking. Mu Yue then remembered about the encounter on their 2nd day of hunting. "Xiao Yan, would those pack of wolves be the ones that are chasing the cultivators that day?

"No, if they are, then the pack that we saw should be a small portion of the wolves. The city would not issue an alarm if those wolves were the reason." They then entered the Inn to take a rest in their rooms.

"There would be an auction three days later. Mu Yue, do you want to go and attend with me?"

Mu Yue then thought about it and agreed. She wanted to see if there is something that will pique her interest in the auction.
