Chapter 99 Two Years!

The beast tide arrived later than Chu Xuan had imagined. Ever since he learned of the approaching beast tide at the restaurant, Chu Xuan had returned to his cave to cultivate in seclusion.

When Chu Xuan was practicing the meditation method, he thought he would have about six months to cultivate, but he never expected that he would have to wait for two years.

Two whole years have passed, and the calls for a beast tide are getting louder and louder. Everyone is saying that a beast tide is coming, but it just hasn't arrived.

With his first three years in Cold Moon Immortal City fast approaching, Chu Xuan was preparing to take on a mission.

Just then, the beast tide arrived.

In the courtyard, Chu Xuan was examining the message he had just received, which was from the City Lord's Mansion of Cold Moon Immortal City.

With the beast tide approaching, the disciples of the Holy Land have arrived. The forces belonging to Cold Moon Immortal City, as well as the forty-seven second-tier forces and six hundred and seventy-one first-tier forces in the surrounding area, have been reorganized into the Cold Moon Army.

The Cold Moon Army is led by the Cold Moon True Man and is under the command of the true disciples of the Xuan Tian Holy Land.

As an outer sect retainer of the Cold Moon Immortal City, I was conscripted into the army and placed under orders in the fourth battalion of the Cold Moon Army. The commander of this fourth battalion was none other than Mo Shouxin, the fourth disciple of the Cold Moon True Man.

The fourth disciple, Mo Shouxin, was the one who initially pulled him into the Hanyue Immortal City's camp.

Therefore, it seems that the notification system of Cold Moon Immortal City revolves around several disciples of Cold Moon True Person.

Each of the several direct disciples is responsible for a portion of the strength, and whoever recruits someone becomes their subordinate.

Now that war has broken out, they are organizing themselves into large armies with their own disciples at the core.

Chu Xuan calmly closed the letter and went out to find Mo Shouxin.

After Chu Xuan revealed his identity at the City Lord's Mansion, a disciple quickly led him towards Mo Shouxin's courtyard.

Although Chu Xuan was only an outer sect retainer, whose status was not as high as that of an inner sect retainer or a grand retainer, he was still a second-tier Dao Platform cultivator.

In the city of Hanyue, he would be considered a very important figure.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, you've arrived." Mo Shouxin sat in the main seat, his face showing a hint of fatigue.

In the past two years, the beast tides have only been heard of by ordinary people, but no one has actually seen one. Life has not changed much from before.

But for core members of third-tier forces like Mo Shouxin, the past two years have been incredibly busy.

The beast tide prohibits fourth-tier cultivators from participating, with the highest level being third-tier cultivators. As a result, the third-tier cultivators from Cold Moon Immortal City who are on the battlefield naturally become the main force of the beast tide.

The third-tier True Immortals are alright; all major forces, including the Holy Land, will send disciples to their aid during the beast tide.

However, relatively few cultivators below the third rank came; most were sent by various major forces for training.

Therefore, in the designated battlefield area, there are basically no low-level cultivators from outside; the local low-level cultivators are the absolute main force in fighting against the beast tide.

As one of the seven direct disciples of Hanyue Zhenren, Mo Shouxin controlled one-fifth of the power in Hanyue Immortal City. In the past two years, Mo Shouxin has been wholeheartedly preparing for war.

Mo Shouxin mobilized various military supplies and contacted several top-tier second-tier forces in the surrounding area, taking two whole years to complete the task.

Just as Chu Xuan guessed, the entire strength of Cold Moon Immortal City was managed by several of Cold Moon True Person's personal disciples.

The Cold Moon Immortal City has a total of seven disciples. The eldest and third disciples have the best talent and the deepest cultivation. They are currently focused on seclusion to break through to the Yuan Dan stage. The remaining five personal disciples each manage a group of cultivators and are also responsible for a portion of the business.

It's just that Chu Xuan has been in seclusion for the past two years and hasn't had any contact with the people of Hanyue Immortal City, otherwise he would have figured it out long ago.

Mo Shouxin was very annoyed. He had been busy for more than two years, but these outer disciples who had done nothing had only just been notified today and were already coming to see him.

Needless to say, it's simply that the beast tide is too dangerous, they don't want to accept the conscription, or they want to go to the rear.

These are the ones I guessed!

Mo Shouxin wanted to slap Chu Xuan, but he couldn't show it too much because he needed these people to risk their lives for him.

These outer sect retainers didn't have a deep connection with the Immortal City to begin with, so it would be troublesome if they ran away.

"Fellow Daoist Mo."

Seeing this, Chu Xuan returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, please have a seat. May I ask what brings you here today? Is it because of the beast tide?"

Although Mo Shouxin asked again, his words were full of certainty. The timing was so perfect that this was the only thing that could happen.

Mo Shouxin had already prepared what to say next: a little encouragement, then a scare tactic using the Holy Land's orders, and finally, the reward system.

One hand holds sweet dates, the other a big stick.

Over the past two years, Mo Shouxin has negotiated with many second-tier forces in the surrounding area, and he has long since mastered this skill.

Normally it's one thing, but at this crucial moment, how can we let you get away?

Just as Mo Shouxin was about to speak, he saw Chu Xuan shake his head, and Mo Shouxin swallowed the words he was about to say.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, I have not come here because of the beast tide."

"At least the core issue isn't the beast tide."

This made Mo Shouxin somewhat puzzled. "Fellow Daoist Chu, what brings you here to see me?"

"Fellow Daoist Mo, I have been in seclusion for two years and have managed to break through to the next level. I can now set up a second-tier formation."

Mo Shouxin was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. "Fellow Daoist Chu is now a second-tier formation master?"

"Indeed, this is the array plate I inscribed earlier, Fellow Daoist Mo, please take a look."

As he spoke, Chu Xuan took out an array plate, which was covered with dense array patterns, making it appear extremely mysterious.

Mo Shouxin took a look and scanned it with his divine sense. Instantly, the dense array patterns in front of him increased dozens of times, and layers upon layers of dense array patterns appeared in Mo Shouxin's mind.

Besides the array patterns already engraved on the array plate, there are even more complex hidden arrays inside the array plate, which are invisible to the naked eye.

The complexity of a second-order formation makes it extremely difficult to condense it all onto a palm-sized array plate!

He took out a few spirit stones and placed them on the array plate. The entire array plate instantly lit up with a hazy spiritual light, and a powerful force rose up. The strength of this magical power had reached the second level!

Mo Shouxin's eyes immediately lit up with joy. Right now, they were short of manpower, especially for array masters, who were the most difficult of all the arts.

One second-tier array master is more effective than three ordinary second-tier cultivators!

This is great news!

Mo Shouxin's previous dissatisfaction vanished instantly; he had gained a capable subordinate!

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Chu, on your advancement in the art of formations, joining the ranks of second-tier formation masters!"

"Fellow Daoist, your breakthrough is just right, and now is the time to use your talents."

Chu Xuan humbly replied, "Fellow Daoist Mo flatters me. I have been in seclusion for more than two years, and I have only managed to gain some insights by chance."
