601: Chapter 601 With Miss Yinli taking action, I'm relieved!

It is worth mentioning that, after his slaughter all morning, all 200 of his Blood Puppets had been upgraded to the Sixth-Rank Early Stage!

Those Blood Puppets were currently waiting quietly in his Blood Demon Nest, exuding the aura of the Sixth-Rank Early Stage.

Moreover, he had accumulated quite a lot of blood qi within his body; as soon as he achieved a Breakthrough, his Blood Puppets might also be able to break through as a matter of course.

"I suspect that is the case."

Huang Jiuli spoke up, "This morning, four large Vicious Beasts ran rampant, causing many casualties among the Martial Artists. If we don't stop those beasts this afternoon, the defensive line of Qingyun City will very likely be breached. At that point, the city will fall and people will die; the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Therefore, someone must intercept these four large Vicious Beasts. Since we are powerful, we are obviously the most suitable candidates."

Yin Li added, her voice calm.

Just as the group wanted to say something more, the guard in front spoke, "Distinguished guests, we have arrived at the reception hall. The City Lord is inside."

Qin Yan and his group ended their discussion and walked into the reception hall.

At this moment, there were only a sparse dozen or so people in the reception hall.

They were sitting in twos and threes; some were resting with their eyes closed, some were whispering, and some were silently sipping tea.

Each one of them exuded a formidable aura, making it impossible for Qin Yan to gauge their true depth.

"They are here too?"

Inside the room, Qin Yan saw Lin Ruoxi, Su Qingwan, and their group.

They were sitting on the other side of the reception hall. Lin Ruoxi wore a light purple dress, her expression cold and aloof, with Sword Intent swirling around her.

Su Qingwan was dressed in white, her face covered by a thin veil, holding a book in her hands, her aura ethereal.

Beside them sat Xiao Tianci and the others, all of whom were outstanding figures among the Special Grade Disciples of the Taixuan Holy Land.

However, after a moment of thought, Qin Yan felt relieved.

If they could appear here, then it was no surprise that Lin Ruoxi and the others appeared here as well.

After all, everyone had come to accept missions and to earn taixuan points.

For an event as massive as a beast tide, Holy Land Disciples would naturally not miss it.

"The Holy Land Disciples have arrived, please sit."

City Lord Zhao Qingyun spoke, his voice gentle and his face wearing a smile.

Qin Yan and the others took their seats.

The appearance of their group immediately drew the attention of others in the room.

Lin Ruoxi's gaze lingered on Yin Li and Huang Jiuli for a moment, a trace of Battle Intent flashing in her eyes.

Su Qingwan raised her head, glanced at the group indifferently, and then continued to read her book.

The others also cast sideways glances, sizing up the newly arrived Holy Land Disciples.

After everyone was seated, a few more human Martial Artists gathered in the room shortly after.

They were all representatives of the local forces of Qingyun City, including heads of various Families, heads of academies, and the president of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

Each person's expression carried a hint of gravity; clearly, they all knew the importance of today's meeting.

At this moment, there were about twenty people in the room, filling the entire reception hall.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhao Qingyun spoke, "Everyone present here today is currently the most powerful Martial Artist in my Qingyun City."

"Now that Vicious Beasts are running rampant outside the city, I, on behalf of the common people of Qingyun City, ask everyone to help take action and repel the four large Vicious Beasts!"

After Zhao Qingyun finished speaking, several older Martial Artists below quickly spoke up, "City Lord, what are you saying? Qingyun City is also our home; we will not stand idly by!"

"That's right, City Lord, defending Qingyun City is our duty!"

"City Lord, rest assured, we will definitely do our utmost and swear to live or die with Qingyun City!"

"..."

Several Family heads and the Alliance president and others expressed their stance one after another, their voices impassioned, as if they were truly fighting to defend their homeland.

However, whether they were willing or not was unknown.

They were all Martial Artists within Qingyun City, and everything was subject to the jurisdiction of Qingyun City.

If they dared to say no here, after the beast tide ended, one could just wait and see if Zhao Qingyun would raze their Families to the ground.

How could someone capable of being a City Lord be a soft-hearted person?

These words from Zhao Qingyun were not meant for them at all, but for those Holy Land Disciples.

Sure enough, after Zhao Qingyun finished speaking, his gaze turned to the dozen or so Holy Land Disciples, and he continued, "Of course, I will not let everyone help in vain."

"For killing one large Vicious Beast, everyone can receive a reward of 3000 taixuan points."

"Besides that, the other Vicious Beasts you kill will be calculated for rewards as usual, without being affected."

3000 contribution points! This reward was already quite a lot!

A normal mission was only worth a few dozen taixuan points, and a team mission was only a few thousand points.

But now, killing one large Vicious Beast could earn 3000 taixuan points, equivalent to the reward of a team mission.

This figure made many Holy Land Disciples present feel moved.

Yin Li, Huang Jiuli, Qin Yan, Yun Qingge, and Lu Qingshan exchanged glances secretly and began to communicate via voice transmission.

Yin Li spoke first, her voice calm: "3000 taixuan points is not a small amount. Moreover, killing a Vicious Beast at the half-step Grandmaster level is a rare training opportunity for us."

Huang Jiuli nodded: "I have no problem with that. I have long wanted to try fighting a Vicious Beast at the half-step Grandmaster level."

Lu Qingshan thought for a moment and said: "My defense is relatively strong, while my attack is relatively weaker. I don't have much advantage in dealing with other Vicious Beasts, so it's perfect that I can assist you now and help you block the attacks of the large Vicious Beasts."

"I have no objection," Yun Qingge said indifferently.

"I have no objection either," Qin Yan said finally.

After hearing the opinions of the group, Yin Li nodded slightly.

"Then let it be this way—the three of us, myself, Huang Jiuli, and Lu Qingshan, will be responsible for killing one large Vicious Beast."

She looked at Qin Yan and Yun Qingge.

"Qin Yan and Yun Qingge, you two go and hunt other Vicious Beasts to accumulate taixuan points."

"With our combined strength, blocking one large Vicious Beast should not be a problem."

She was very confident in herself.

Both she and Huang Jiuli were clearers of the Heavenly Ladder, and their strength belonged to the top tier among their peers.

Lu Qingshan had formidable defense and could block some attacks for them.

With the three of them joining forces, even if they couldn't kill that large Vicious Beast, holding it back would definitely not be a problem.

As for Qin Yan and Yun Qingge—

She had already heard from Huang Jiuli about Qin Yan's methods.

That army of Blood Puppets was simply a killing machine on the battlefield.

Even she, in terms of efficiency in killing Vicious Beasts, might not be able to surpass Qin Yan.

Yun Qingge's Sword Technique was sharp, her killing was decisive, and she was also an expert at hunting regular Vicious Beasts.

It was most appropriate for the two of them to go hunt regular Vicious Beasts.

"Alright."

The group nodded one after another, reaching a consensus.

"City Lord Zhao, the three of us, myself, Huang Jiuli, and Lu Qingshan, can take responsibility for blocking one large Vicious Beast."

Yin Li spoke, her voice calm.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingyun's expression brightened with joy!

"Good! Good! With Miss Yin Li taking action, I can rest assured!"
