Douluo: Star Crown Glory

Chapter 123: Defending the City
Before Xu Mingxi and the others could return to the Xingguan Sect, the beast tide broke out completely. Several small towns and even cities near the Xingdou Great Forest were destroyed by the beast tide in an instant, and the soul masters inside were completely unable to fight back.

The entire Douluo Continent was hit by a great earthquake. Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall walked out of the Elder Hall with angel wings spread out behind him and the Angel Holy Sword in his hand. He temporarily blocked the beast tide with his own strength and repelled King Bear for the time being.

The two empires reacted quickly, put aside all their prejudices, and built a new city called Beast Suppression City at the fastest speed on the route that the beast tide must pass through. Earth-attributed soul masters reinforced it day and night.

The armies of the two countries were guarding the area, nervously looking in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest. The elders of the Spirit Hall arrived with a corps of soul masters, and looking at the soul beasts in the distance, everyone felt heavy in their hearts.

All major sects on the continent received invitations from the two empires and the Spirit Hall and accepted the invitations. This was a matter of life and death for mankind. Even the Haotian Sect accepted the invitation. They could no longer give the Spirit Hall a reason to take action.

Except for Poseidon Island, they directly rejected the invitation from Spirit Hall, saying that they were wholeheartedly serving Poseidon and would not get involved in disputes on the continent.

Bibi Dong was so angry that she flew into a rage in her bedroom. The expressions of other forces were also not very good. The Sea God Island acted like this. Could it be that they did not consider themselves as part of the human race?

The Xingguan Sect also received the news, but the sect leader had no intention of paying attention to it. The sect's two hopes were still in the Xingdou Great Forest, so why did a beast tide appear at this time?

Just as he was walking back and forth anxiously in the sect master's hall, Xu Mingguang and another man flew in. As soon as they landed, the sect master looked them up and down, front and back, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief after confirming that they were not injured.

"Luckily you guys came back quickly. I don't know why a beast tide broke out in the Xingdou Great Forest."

Xu Mingxi and the other man looked at each other, feeling a little ashamed. Even though they didn't know the specific reason, they discussed it on the way and concluded that the beast tide was most likely caused by their killing of the silver-scale beast. However, they would not take the blame for this.

"Master, this is exactly what we want to tell you. This beast tide is definitely not simple. That dark gold terror claw bear is definitely not the strongest one on the opposite side."

"What! Is there someone stronger than Qian Daoliu on the other side?"

"Yes."

Xu Mingxi roughly told the sect master and Xu Mingguang about the information about the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. They both fell silent. With such a lineup, the Spirit Hall would definitely not be able to hold on by itself.

With a sigh, the sect master picked up the summons from the Spirit Hall from the table. This beast tide concerns all of humanity, and the Xingguan Sect has no choice but to participate.

However, there are some requirements for participating in this event. The most important question is how much strength they should show.

"Mingxi, I have to go. As for the rest, you can see how much fighting power we should bring out."

Xu Mingxi frowned. There was no reason for humans to be defeated by the Star Forest if they united. Apart from anything else, Poseidon would never allow it. Poseidon Island's Poseidon would definitely come to the rescue when humans were about to fail.

Then the Xingguan Sect could not use too much strength in this beast tide, and even the soul guides would be difficult to take out. It was already the limit to equip each disciple who went into the battle with a defensive soul guide hidden under their clothes.

Moreover, the Great Elder, the only seventh-level soul engineer, does not have enough time to make so many defensive soul tools. Seventh-level defensive soul tools cannot play a big role in the beast tide.

"Master, I will go with you, and Senior Dugu and the others will stay in the sect. Now is not the time for them to be exposed."

"Okay, let's do as you say. Bring along the Fourth Elder, the Eighth Elder, and the Ninth Elder, and we'll set off immediately."

Before he even sat down on the chair, Xu Mingxi led the team to set off again. In addition to the three elders, there were also more than a dozen Soul Saints and disciples below the Soul Saint level. They all stayed in Xingluo Mountain. Xingguan Sect was located in the southwest of the continent, and waiting for Xu Mingxi's return took some time. Even if they traveled day and night, by the time they arrived, other forces had basically arrived.

The Spirit Hall Pope Bibi Dong, and behind her, Jue Gui Douluo and Ling Yuan Douluo, and the Elder Hall Chief Priest Qian Daoliu and the six major priests stood beside them.

Next to them was the new team of the upper three sects and the lower four sects. All seven sect masters were present and stood faintly behind Bibi Dong.

Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect stood on the other side with Sword Bone Douluo and the sect's priests, and the teams of the Po Yi Clan and the Yu Yi Clan followed behind them.

Haotian Sect's Tang Xiao and Fourth Elder Tang Ziyi were right next to them, and from time to time they looked towards the Spirit Hall team with a hint of hatred in their eyes.

They looked at the Po Yi clan and Yu Yi clan who were following behind the Qibao Liuli Sect with dissatisfaction in their eyes, until they looked at Titan who was following behind them, and nodded with satisfaction.

The armies of the two empires, some big families and powerful independent cultivators stood on the other side, forming a three-way confrontation. Fortunately, everyone now has a common goal, so they can sit down and discuss properly.

The arrival of Xingguan Sect attracted the attention of all of them. When they saw that there were three Titled Douluo in the Xingguan Sect's team, some people couldn't help but change their expressions.

The sect leader led his team and stood next to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, but there was a certain distance in between. Qian Daoliu was watching, and now was not the time to line up.

"Everyone is almost here, we can start now. In order to better resist the beast tide, you must accept the deployment of our Spirit Hall."

Bibi Dong walked to the center and looked at the high-ranking officials of Douluo Continent around her, raising her head proudly. She believed that Qian Daoliu would not go against her at this time. As for other forces, she did not take them seriously.

Although everyone disliked this woman, due to the power of the dozen or so Titled Douluo in the Spirit Hall, they reluctantly agreed with her words, and even Tang Xiao did not refute her.

"Then the first rule is that no one is allowed to collude with soul beasts, especially the Haotian Sect."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Xiao couldn't help himself. Wasn't this targeting Haodi? Fortunately, Tang Ziyi next to him tried his best to hold him down, so the meeting could continue.

However, all major forces still have complaints about this. It is a fact that Tang Hao colluded with the soul beasts in the past, and it is even more of a fact that he has not come to resist the beast tide now.

Bibi Dong ignored them and continued to arrange some work. The leaders of various forces also fought for their own rights.

They divided the city wall into three sections, according to the three forces that were vaguely divided among the people present.

Each force will freely form a team to guard a section of the city wall. On the two empires' side, the Spirit Hall will select several elders to help guard the wall.

After the meeting, Bibi Dong sat alone on the city wall, looking at the soul beasts in the distance, her eyes full of bloodthirstiness.

"Kill them. The more people die, the better."
