Chapter 204: Name List (II)

“I’ll go and stop him now.”

Song Chuansheng suddenly stood up and was about to leave.

“Calm down! Come back here.”

Wang Ronghui shouted, “Are you going to violate the plan laid out by the higher-ups? Besides, what’s the use of you going? Is your fist as strong as the other party’s? Why should others listen to your orders when you have no one backing you up?”

Song Chuansheng’s foot froze in midair.

The masked man had always refused to respond to the olive branch thrown out by the three big shots of Jiangnan City. Wasn’t he making it clear that he didn’t want to expose his identity and be restrained by them?

With the combat strength that the other party had displayed, the three big shots of Jiangnan City would not be able to do anything to him without the aid of someone at the master realm.

“Don’t get too agitated. Sit down first.”

Zhang Renhou tried to smooth things over and continued, “No matter what the final outcome is, the most important thing now is to get the cities in the south to take precautions.

Once the masked man’s destination is confirmed to be the catacombs, the central cities and the provincial capital, Jiangnan City, must also take action and send reinforcements to the southern cities.”

“In that case, it’s time for the higher-ups of the large sects to contribute.”

Song Chuansheng still couldn’t let it go. As one of the three big shots of Jiangnan City, he was feeling very aggrieved, so he brought up the previous matter again.

“That might not be enough. We have to inform the medium-sized sects and small martial arts factions to wait for the order to move.”

This time, Wang Ronghui and Zhang Renhou sighed and did not continue to object to the suggestion. Instead, they added to it.

Once the masked man started a war with the nine spider emperors in the catacombs, some of the giant steel-spear spiders would escape to the otherworld, while others would escape the catacombs and crawl out of the ground.

No one could predict how many giant steel-spear spiders had been born in the catacombs over the years.

Not long after, the cities in the south of Jiangnan province received orders from Jiangnan City. Soon, the central cities and the civilian martial arts factions also received their corresponding orders.

This meant that the masked man’s destination had been confirmed to be the catacombs in the south.

In a private room in a high-end hotel in Liuhe City in the middle of Jiangnan province, “This is too unlucky. I heard that the Xixia Sect was surrounded by mutant beasts. The entire sect might be wiped out.”

A few disciples from the medium-sized sects were drinking and joking about the beast tide that had broken out in the sea of flowers.

“Are you serious?” someone said in surprise.

“Not only is it true, but a huge scandal has also broken out. The Xixia Sect’s sect master has actually died of old age and they have been hiding it from the public. It’s only now that they have been exposed because they were seeking help from the outside world,”

the well-informed disciple said slowly as he held back his laughter.

“Hahaha!”

The people in the private room immediately started to laugh loudly.

With the death of the old sect master, it was common for the new sect master to not have the strength to take on the heavy responsibility, causing the sect to be wiped out.

However, it was rare to see this situation where a sect was affected by the beast tide and wiped out because of it.

Suddenly, a phone rang.

After the well-informed disciple picked up the call, he received an order from his master to return to the sect immediately.

On the phone, he was told to bid farewell to his family as soon as possible. A portion of the disciples would be arranged to go to the southern cities to defend against the giant steel-spear spiders that might crawl out of the catacombs.

“…”

After joy comes sadness. They had just been laughing about the Xixia Sect, but in the blink of an eye, they could not escape from the bad situation facing them.

The giant steel-spear spiders were extremely ferocious killers from underground, and were creatures that made people tremble in fear just by hearing about them.

At the thought of facing such a creature, everyone in the private room shivered. If they could choose, they would rather be sent to the cities around the sea of flowers.

In the Kunshan Sect, “Outrageous!”

The court head, Cheng Shikun, threw his teacup to the ground.

When it rains, it pours. The Kunshan Sect had first lost four court heads, then their sect master. Now, they were arranged to go to the southern cities to deal with the giant steel-spear spiders that were about to climb out of the ground.

Although there were much fewer people requested from them compared to the other large sects, and only a team led by one court head was arranged to go over, the catacomb was regarded as a forbidden land by the adventurers. Naturally, there was a reason for this. The lethality of the giant steel-spear spiders was at the top of those within the same realm.

The Kunshan Sect could not afford to lose another court head.

Shi Qingxin and Xu Zhansheng sighed with heavy expressions on their faces, but they did not say anything.

The members of the Kunshan Sect unanimously agreed that the blame lay first with Gu Chen, and second with Cheng Shikun. Without Gu Chen taking away the porcelain bowl, the Kunshan Sect would not have suffered the series of disasters that followed.

Therefore, Cheng Shikun and his disciple, Gu Chen, could not escape the order to go to the southern cities to deal with the giant steel-spear spiders.

Unless the two of them defected from the Kunshan Sect, they needed to make up for their mistakes and appease the resentment of the others.

In the Myriad Phenomena Sect, the inner sect disciples of three courts were urgently summoned back to the sect, including those from the Mantis Snake Court.

Chen Yiming was still a true disciple, so compared to the other inner courts, the Mantis Snake Court had one more person at the second stage of the warrior realm.

Therefore, the first choice to go to the southern cities to deal with the giant steel-spear spiders was the Mantis Snake Court.

“Court Head, why is our Mantis Snake Court being arranged to go?”

Su Mo’er was about to cry. She had been placed on the list of disciples to go over by Zhou Xuesheng because she had successfully cultivated a secondary ice attribute internal force.

If she could turn back time, she would rather continue to try to master the transformation of her internal force than to try to master a second cultivation technique.

“This trip is not completely without benefits for you. Train your will on the battlefield,” Zhou Xuesheng said sternly.

He was a little disappointed with disciples like Su Mo’er. They were like flowers in a greenhouse that could not withstand hardships.

As for the Mantis Snake Court being the first choice to go to the cities in the south, the reason was simple. If anything happened to Zhou Xuesheng, Chen Yiming would immediately be able to take over the position of court head. That way, the position would not be vacant for a long time.

The other inner courts had yet to nurture a successful successor.

“Senior Brother Zhang, please take care of me.”

Some inner court disciples approached Zhang Jianpeng and tried to form a group with him.

Zhang Jianpeng ignored them, feeling furious.

As the one formerly at the top of the true disciples in the Mantis Snake Court, he would originally have been arranged to stay in the sect, but Chen Yiming had quickly risen to replace him.

This caused Zhang Jianpeng’s status to drop greatly. As the second strongest disciple, he was naturally on the list to go to the cities in the south.

“Qian Bingnan, aren’t you panicking at all?” Bai Hengliang asked with a tearful expression.

Other than Dai Yuanhang, the other two people in the same house as Chen Yiming were on the list.

“The battlefield is where we can maximize our potential. My entire body is overflowing with excitement.”

Qian Bingnan smiled.

As soon as he said this, not only did he encourage himself, but he also gave up on the idea of running away.

Bai Hengliang felt even worse. At this moment, he was extremely envious of Dai Yuanhang, who did research every single day.

Among the disciples of the same level, Dai Yuanhang was considered weak in actual combat strength and was considered a research-type talent. As a result, he was not chosen by Zhou Xuesheng since there were better choices.

At the same time, in the central city of Jiangnan province, other than the large and medium-sized sects, the members of the small martial arts factions were also summoned by people who specially came to deliver the message.

The difference was that the members of the small martial arts factions were unified and led by the military.

For example, some warrior clans only had one leader in the warrior realm and some disciples.

If they split up and went to the cities in the south, not only would their forces be too weak, but they would also encounter all kinds of problems along the way. It would also be easy for them to disobey orders and turn around to hide in the wilderness.

After all, small-scale martial arts factions were not as large as large-scale sects. There were only less than 10 core members, and the price of betraying the city was not that high.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, they did not want these people to think about defecting.
