#229Section 229

Whether it's defending the city walls or going out to clear out Chaos Beasts, those cultivators below True Immortals are completely unqualified.

Chaos Beasts are incredibly powerful.

Even the weakest one-star Chaos Beast is comparable to an early-stage True Immortal.

As for their actual strength, it far surpasses ordinary True Immortal cultivators.

Under normal circumstances, True Immortal cultivators need to cooperate to deal with Chaos Beasts.

True Immortal cultivators who act alone either have cultivated an Immortal Body and have some self-protection ability, or they are courting death.

Even True Immortal cultivators cannot ensure their safety in the face of Chaos Beasts.

Those cultivators below True Immortals don't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder.

When the beast tide truly arrives,

these cultivators below True Immortals will quickly be evacuated to Heavenly Palace City through the teleportation array.

Zhang Yuhe stood on the city wall, looking around.

He saw twelve low-grade Immortal Extinction Cannons, with their long barrels pointing directly outside the city.

The Nangong Immortal Clan did not deploy mid-grade Immortal Extinction Cannons in Yingyue City.

This is naturally not because the Nangong Immortal Clan couldn't produce mid-grade Immortal Extinction Cannons.

In fact, the Nangong Immortal Clan possesses at least a hundred mid-grade Immortal Extinction Cannons.

However, they have deployed all these mid-grade Immortal Extinction Cannons in Heavenly Palace City.

A defensive city like Yingyue City doesn't have a single one deployed.

In the eyes of the Nangong Immortal Clan, all defensive cities can be abandoned when encountering a crisis.

Only Heavenly Palace City must be defended.

Heavenly Palace City, as a lord-level city, is simply too important.

There is a third-grade Immortal-ranked mineral vein there.

This mineral vein is the Nangong Immortal Clan's most important resource in the Chaos Continent.

Therefore, whenever a beast tide comes, the Nangong Immortal Clan concentrates all its elite forces in Heavenly Palace City.

As for the outer defensive cities, they are mostly guarded by subordinate forces who are conscripted.

Yingyue City is like this.

Outsiders like Zhang Yuhe and his group are actually more numerous than the Nangong Immortal Clan's own people.

A group of people stood on the city wall, discussing something in low voices from time to time.

Zhuo Zhiming said with some anticipation.

"Didn't they say there's a beast tide? Why can't we even see a single Chaos Beast?"

"I really want to find a Chaos Beast to hone my divine abilities."

Hearing this, Long Xingxiu curled his lips and responded.

"Want to find a Chaos Beast? That's easy."

"Just walk tens of thousands of miles out of the city, and you'll definitely encounter Chaos Beasts."

Long Xingxiu's words left Zhuo Xingxiu at a loss for words.

There are definitely Chaos Beasts in places far away from the city.

But how dare he go so far?

What if he accidentally stumbled into a Chaos Beast tribe? Wouldn't that be ridiculous?

They rely on the city, and everyone can support each other.

Moreover, as long as the teleportation array is not destroyed, there is still a way to retreat.

But it's not so convenient in the wild.

The wilderness of the Chaos Continent has always been the domain of Chaos Beasts.

Unless super powers take the lead and launch cultivators to sweep away Chaos Beasts together,

ordinary Golden Immortal cultivators don't have the guts to move far away from the city and act alone.

Nangong Youxi glanced over the crowd and slowly said.

"According to the information we have obtained, several nearby small Chaos Beast tribes are showing signs of restlessness."

"According to past practice, once a similar situation occurs,"

"A beast tide will erupt within three to five hundred years at most."

"As for the scale of the beast tide, no one can say for sure."

"In order to minimize the impact of the future beast tide on the city,"

"We need to clean up the scattered Chaos Beasts nearby in advance."

"Now I will assign the tasks."

"True Immortal disciples will stay in the city."

"Fellow Daoists, starting tomorrow, in groups of two, clean up the Chaos Beasts within a radius of ten million miles."

"If you find a large group of Chaos Beasts, remember to warn us in time."

"Understood."

Everyone nodded in response.

Except for Zhang Yuhe, who came to the Chaos Continent for the first time,

the others are considered old birds.

They have long been aware of the routines for dealing with beast tides.

Clearing the periphery in advance is just a routine operation before the beast tide arrives.

After everyone continued to discuss some specific task allocation details, they dispersed.

The next day.

Several streams of light flew out of Yingyue City.

Zhang Yuhe and Yu Liwei stood on the flying boat, quickly flying towards the southeast.

According to the information provided by Nangong Youxi,

there is a not-so-small Chaos Beast tribe in the southeast direction of Yingyue City.

Some cultivators have discovered six-star Chaos Beasts in this tribe.

As for four-star and five-star Chaos Beasts, there are at least ten or more.

A Chaos Beast tribe of this size poses a considerable threat to Yingyue City.

That's why Nangong Youxi assigned Zhang Yuhe and Yu Liwei to the same group.

In case they encounter a large group of Chaos Beasts, with their strength, they should be able to protect themselves and escape.

Their goal is not to clear this small Chaos Beast tribe.

But to get as close as possible to the edge of the tribe and clean up the outer Chaos Beasts.

In Nangong Youxi's view,

it is obviously impossible to clear a tribe with more than ten Golden Immortal Chaos Beasts by relying solely on the power of Yingyue City.

She was just thinking.

Before the beast tide arrives, weakening the strength of the Chaos Beasts as much as possible is enough.

After flying for half a day continuously,

Zhang Yuhe suddenly stopped.

Yu Liwei asked with a surprised expression.

"Have you discovered anything unusual?"

She had just scanned her surroundings with her divine sense and didn't find anything wrong.

But she knew that Zhang Yuhe wouldn't stop for no reason.

He must have discovered something.

It's just that she didn't see it.

Even so, Yu Liwei did not urge him.

Instead, she vigilantly looked around.

Caution and prudence are the first principles for cultivators to protect their lives in the Chaos Continent.

Zhang Yuhe did not respond to Yu Liwei.

He stretched out his right hand.

The Nine Heavens Flying Spirit Staff landed in his hand.
