126: Chapter 126 The S-Class Beast Tide Begins

"Let's go there directly!" Mu Cheng didn't linger and flew straight towards the City Lord's Mansion—Guangshen Tower.

About ten minutes later, in a very familiar scene, Mu Cheng was respectfully greeted by the courteous waitress.

And he was taken to the top floor, only... this time it was different. Su Qingyan spoke quite politely.

"Have a seat here. I have something I'd like to discuss with you."

"If there's something, just say it directly!" Mu Cheng didn't stand on ceremony either, plopping down on the sofa.

Su Qingyan walked over slowly and sat opposite Mu Cheng, saying, "Guangshen City is a mixed bag. The idea is for your Menglou Pavilion to take the lead."

"This... what does that mean? Could you explain a bit more clearly?" Mu Cheng was stunned, completely failing to grasp it.

Taking the lead meant a piece of the pie, high risk, high reward... Such a good thing could actually be left for him?

Peppa: "You still don't get it?"

"Alright! I understand. Menglou Pavilion taking the lead is no problem, but please, City Lord, do your best to cooperate." Mu Cheng caught on immediately and agreed quite readily.

Actually, it wasn't hard... In his past life, that's exactly how he was, hiding at the back when encountering very dangerous situations.

Naturally, Guangshen City was the same. Faced with such a high-risk, high-reward beast tide, the major families definitely wouldn't need to consider it and would refuse outright.

"Rest assured, the benefits definitely won't be lacking. Of course... besides your Menglou Pavilion, the Han Family and the Lin Family will also take action." Su Qingyan said, then suddenly became hesitant, adding,

"So... don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Just say it! What exactly is the plan?" Mu Cheng was rather speechless and naturally wanted a clear explanation.

Su Qingyan didn't hide it anymore. "Actually... the idea is for you to cooperate with the Lin Family to clear out the remaining ones. But anyway, the result is the same, so you taking the lead isn't a big problem either."

"This Lin Family... what kind of existence are they? That's a truly valuable S-Class beast tide. Are you sure that's really the original plan?" Mu Cheng suddenly became interested and asked.

Speaking of overall strength, in Guangshen City, if Menglou Pavilion isn't number one, it can definitely rank in the top five.

But now... suddenly being told to just play a supporting role, one can imagine just how terrifying the Lin Family is.

Peppa: "Hey now, what's in that head of yours? It was just mentioned a few days ago, and you've already forgotten?"

"Innate divine power?... It doesn't seem that terrifying, does it?" Mu Cheng said, still not taking it seriously.

Su Qingyan explained, quite exasperated. "The reason divine power is called divine power... is because it possesses strength surpassing the ninth rank. Isn't that impressive?"

"Wait... are you saying that members of the Lin Family can use strength beyond the ninth rank without being restricted?" Mu Cheng grew more and more confused as he listened, but he roughly guessed some of it and asked for confirmation.

Su Qingyan nodded in reply. "Mm-hmm, you could put it that way too! This kind of innate power is not within the scope of the Heavenly Dao."

"You don't need to envy them. Similarly, your Devouring Bloodline is also not within the scope of the Heavenly Dao, it just needs time to grow." Peppa slowly interjected.

"Alright! Supporting role it is. Tell me the specifics." Mu Cheng asked after careful consideration.

He had clearly compromised. Since it was taking the lead anyway, getting the reputation was enough.

As for the risk, of course, it needed to be minimized.

Su Qingyan seriously reported the situation. "Actually... the Lin Family was sent by those above, they're just taking a risk by acting ahead of time."

"Wait, does that sentence mean there's only one person from the Lin Family?" Before she could even finish speaking, Mu Cheng asked.

Peppa answered. "What else? Members of the Lin Family have innate divine power. Sending even one has already come at a great cost and taken a huge risk. Forget it... you wouldn't understand even if I explained."

Truly an old sly one. How can I understand if you don't say anything? Mu Cheng almost couldn't hold back his temper.

Forcing himself to appear very calm, he said, "Fine! Just explain the specific plan clearly, and I'll cooperate on my end."

"Mm-hmm, then I'll tell you about the upcoming plan." Su Qingyan began to outline the specific plan.

Every step was clearly arranged...

About an hour later, she had finally explained the entire plan for this holdout mode clearly.

After Mu Cheng left, he didn't idle around either and began personally giving instructions... what to pay attention to, etc.

Until three days later, Mu Cheng received a new hidden prompt again.

[Warning! Warning! Warning! A large number of monsters are approaching within a ten-kilometer radius.]

[Global Survival Game holdout mode second stage, countdown begins: 719 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds... Please make sufficient preparations!]

"Forget it, better deal with the immediate situation first." Mu Cheng didn't dwell on the second hidden prompt.

Instead, he gave instructions. "Nana, Mumu, Shuishui, same as before. You must let everyone know: if you can't win, run."

"Brother Cheng, you can rest assured a hundred times over! It was all clearly arranged long ago, and it was emphasized several times again before departure." Tao Mumu said, sounding a bit impatient.

Indeed, the current her... was no longer the same as before. She could be considered the second-in-command of Menglou Pavilion, arranging everything clearly.

At that moment, Gu Na suddenly spoke up. "Brother Cheng, we can set off... a message has come from the City Lord's side."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Mu Cheng released his Purple Cloud Wings and soared into the sky, arriving at the city wall not long after.

Sure enough, directly ahead, dense black shadows had already appeared... several dragon-type monsters were taking the lead.

Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, Velociraptor, etc...

"So these are dragon-type monsters? Somehow they look like dinosaurs." Gu Na thought they looked more and more alike the more she looked.

Peppa: "They are dinosaurs. Just the first wave of the beast tide. You know what to do, right?"

"Understood, leave it to me!" Tao Shuishui volunteered, releasing her Energy Wings and flying towards the beast tide.

Immediately after... many other young women followed closely, and of course, people from the Sword Imperial Dynasty as well.

Leading them was precisely Bai Xiaoxiao. Countless sword energies descended from the sky... Tao Shuishui didn't even have time to make a move.

The first wave of the beast tide had already been more than half wiped out.

"Forget it... I'll leave it to big sister!" Tao Shuishui originally intended to act but thought better of it.

In less than ten minutes, the first wave of the beast tide ended, and it was a one-sided slaughter.

"As expected of the Sword Imperial Dynasty. It seems we won't even need the Han Family to act. They can probably solve it easily." Su Qingyan, who had witnessed everything, couldn't help but be impressed.

On Mu Cheng's side, another hidden prompt appeared.

[Warning! Warning! Warning! The second wave of the beast tide will begin in 59 minutes, 59 seconds... Please make sufficient preparations.]

"An hour. I thought we'd have to wait two or three days." Mu Cheng didn't hesitate.

He immediately transmitted information and instructed, "Quickly clean up the battlefield. Be ready for battle at all times."

To avoid arousing suspicion, he could only go through the motions, keeping everyone on alert.

Gu Na instantly replied. "Mm-hmm, I'll arrange it right away."

An hour wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a little either. In the blink of an eye, the battlefield was almost cleaned up.
