The sky was gradually getting brighter, and the morning fog was gradually dispersed by the sunshine. In the watchtower above the city gate, the two soldiers on duty who had not slept all night were still very energetic and looked around vigilantly.
It has been two days since the beast tide broke out. If the ferocious beasts deep in the Qingsang Mountains had been heading towards Qingsang City since then, they would most likely have approached the edge of the Qingsang Mountains by now.
The city gate had just opened, and the fleeing crowds were sparsely passing through the city gate. Men were carrying dry food and belongings, women were carrying crying children, and some people from well-off families were driving carriages with large boxes and small bags bundled on their backs.
Box's belongings, and even some larger families also joined the fleeing team. They hired some warriors. However, if they really encountered a tide of beasts on the way, the warriors they hired would not even be enough to fill the gaps in their teeth.
The people who fled account for only a small part of Qingsang City. Escape from Qingsang City does not mean safety. Of course, staying in Qingsang City may be more dangerous.
It was time for the guards at the city gate to change their shifts. Two soldiers walked up to the watchtower and were about to replace the other two. At this moment, they suddenly saw a vague shadow piercing the morning fog like a sharp arrow.
Rushing towards Qingmulg City at incredible speed.
"Vicious beast!?"
"Alarm! The beast tide is coming!"
The refugees under the city suddenly panicked, and the soldiers on the watchtower were about to sound the alarm, but at this moment, they discovered that the so-called beast tide actually only had one ferocious beast, and there seemed to be a... human figure on top of the ferocious beast.
?
Because the speed was too fast, they didn't see it clearly at all. Could it be that the lightning-fast beast was just a mount? However, it was clearly not a divine wind eagle?
In the minds of ordinary people, flying mounts are the divine wind eagles. These are mounts that only those high-ranking figures, such as city lords and generals, may have. Many big families may not have them.
The most popular soldier still did not sound the alarm bell. Instead, he used the telegraph to notify the city lord of Qingsang City. In such a sensitive time, ringing the alarm bell might cause chaos in the whole city. They could not bear this responsibility.
At this time, the Lin family in Qingmulg City——
Half an hour ago, Lin Ming used a long-distance transmission note that could travel thousands of miles to inquire about the family's situation, and the head of the Lin family, Lin Wanshan, also received news that Lin Ming was about to return.
This sudden good news made Lin Wanshan stand up from his chair happily. Lin Ming was finally back!
At this juncture, the Lin family needs a sea-fixing needle to stabilize the situation. Although Lin Ming alone, no matter how powerful he is, is unlikely to solve the problem of the beast tide, his return can always bring hope to people.
Not only the Lin family, but also important figures from several other families also learned the news of Lin Ming's return. At this time, the major families in Qingmulg City naturally worked together to overcome the difficulties.
"Old Lin, is Lin Ming really back?"
Important figures from several major families had gathered at the Lin family immediately. Lu Wuyin, the elder of the Lu family, asked worriedly. It was of great significance for Lin Ming to come back at this time. Although Lin Ming's power alone could not change anything, he
His identity is more important than that of the Emperor of Tianyun Kingdom. As long as he is in Qingsang City, it will at least be easier to get support.
"Of course, I just received Lin Ming's transmission note. He should be arriving soon." Lin Wanshan said in a low voice, holding a teacup in his hand. At this time, he was no longer in the mood to drink tea.
"Did Lin Ming bring back any experts when he came back this time?" Zhuang Fan, the head of the banker family, rolled his eyes and asked the question that everyone was most concerned about. The other people in the hall immediately pricked up their ears and looked at Lin Wanshan eagerly.
.
Lin Wanshan sighed and said: "Lin Ming happened to be passing through Southern Xinjiang, which is close to Tianyun Kingdom, so he could come here so quickly. He is the only one..."
The Qixuan Valley is hundreds of thousands of miles away from Qingmulg City. Even if the Qixuan Valley sends people to ride the divine wind eagle and travel day and night, it will still take at least ten days.
As for the army, let alone that.
"Is there only one person..." Zhuang Fan sighed and forced a smile, "It will be good to come back. One more master always means more hope."
Everyone is lying when they say they are not disappointed. Once the beast tide breaks out, there will be an army of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of ferocious beasts. With only one person, no matter how powerful he is, how much impact can he have on the beast tide? Once he is green,
When Sang City was destroyed, Lin Ming could easily leave due to his strength, but their family was ruined.
At this moment, people suddenly heard a clear whistle from the sky.
Are you here?
Several people hurriedly walked out of the house, but they were slightly confused, what was making this whistling sound?
When he looked up, he saw a red dragon-shaped creature hovering in the sky above the Lin family.
"Huh? What is that?"
Zhuang Fan was a little stunned. The thing looked like a dragon with two wings. The wings were spread out and it was six to seven feet wide. When it was built, it could cover a house. It was also seven or eight feet long. It was covered in red.
The scales seemed to be burning with fire.
This kind of momentum is completely unmatched by the Divine Wind Eagle.
"call--"
The giant red beast retracted its wings and fell straight down. It surged with powerful energy and the people around it couldn't help but retreat.
Seen from a close distance, this ferocious beast is even more astonishing. Its broad wings extend out, covering most of the courtyard. Its dark golden pupils, sharp teeth, and cold-light scales all exude a heart-stopping aura.
This is clearly a dragon!
Several people present are also masters of the pulse condensation stage. From the aura emanating from this ferocious beast, you can roughly feel its strength. I am afraid it has reached the level of the late acquired stage or even higher!
It’s unimaginable to use this kind of thing as a mount?
Lu Wuyin was very envious in his heart. It was such a luxury to have such a mount. Needless to say its speed and appearance, its strength alone reached the late acquired stage or above. You must know that the entire Tianyun Kingdom, if you don't count the Qixuanwu Mansion
, and only one hermit barely reached the late acquired stage.
For example, the famous Mr. Mu Yi and Marshal Qin Xiao are only in the middle stage of the acquired world! And among the major families in Qingsang City, there is not even a single master in the early acquired stage.
A figure in black jumped down from the dragon's back, it was Lin Ming.
"Lin Ming!"
"It's him!"
Everyone present had seen Lin Ming's portrait and immediately came to greet him. Although Lin Ming was the only one here this time, it was still better than nothing.
"Lin Ming has met the head of the family."
Lin Ming naturally recognized Lin Wanshan. The last time he saw him was at the birthday banquet of an important figure in the family. At that time, Lin Ming only appeared as a chef's assistant.
"Nephew Lin, please get up quickly! I can't bear this gift." Lin Wanshan hurriedly stepped forward and supported Lin Ming's slightly bent body, his eyes full of relief and satisfaction.
"Okay! Okay!" Lin Wanshan felt Lin Ming's strong muscles and bones, and kept saying two good words. He was also feeling emotional in his heart. This was actually the first time he saw Lin Ming. A side disciple could actually go as far as
This step will affect the fate of the entire Lin family for hundreds of years in the future. Things are really unpredictable.
Except for Lin Wanshan, the other important figures of the family stood respectfully not far away without speaking or coming forward. Lin Ming was now the direct disciple of Qixuan Valley. He was the elder of Qixuan Valley and the envoy of Qixuan Valley.
, people with higher status than the Emperor of Tianyun Kingdom, the status gap between them and Lin Ming is really too big. Lin Wanshan is Lin Ming’s elder, so we can get along with each other indifferently, but they have nothing to do with Lin Ming. If it weren’t for Qixuan Valley,
They were very particular about court etiquette, and depending on their status, they would all kneel down when they saw Lin Ming.
"Master, are there no beast tides in nearby cities?" Lin Ming came in a hurry, not understanding the surrounding situation.
"Not yet. Tianyun Kingdom is far away from the gathering place of ferocious beasts. Unlike Dongyang Kingdom, it is probably half destroyed now." Lin Wanshan sighed and said seriously. Dongyang Kingdom has always belonged to Tianyun Kingdom.
Enemies, but now they are being poisoned by ferocious beasts, but they only give people a feeling of sadness that the rabbit is dead and the fox is dead.
At this moment, a maid hurriedly came to the door and reported: "Master, the Lord of the City has arrived."
"Hmm? City Lord?"
Lin Wanshan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect the city lord to get the news so quickly.
While he was talking, a stalwart man in his fifties, wearing a python robe and unicorn boots, strode in. He was very thin, but had a broad frame. He walked evenly and with great momentum.
The stalwart man had a respectful smile on his face as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, "Lin Yingxiong! Zhao Yanming, the lord of Qingsang City, has met Lin Yingxiong."
Zhao Yanming said, clasping his fists and bowing. Naturally, with Lin Ming's current status, he couldn't call him by his first name, but being a direct disciple did not count as an official, so he had to call him Lin Yingxiong.
"City Lord Zhao, you don't have to be so outspoken, just call me Lin Ming. I grew up in Qingsang City, and City Lord Zhao is my elder." Lin Ming naturally recognized Zhao Yanming. This City Lord had a good reputation in Qingsang City.
Not bad, Lin Ming also has a good impression.
Zhao Yanming breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally worried heart was slightly relieved. A genius like Lin Ming, who succeeded at a young age, has amazing personal strength and is in a high position, inevitably has a sense of arrogance, but it seems that Lin Ming is still very humble.
of.
He was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of the flying dragon falling in the yard. In an instant, Zhao Yanming's expression changed.
"This is... a flying dragon!?"
Zhao Yanming called out the name of Feitian Jiao, which surprised Lin Ming. This kind of mount is something that is difficult for the citizens of Tianyun Kingdom to come into contact with.
"Young Master Lin... Can you disciples of Qixuan Valley ride on this kind of mount when traveling?" Zhao Yanming's voice was a little uneasy. He had seen this flying dragon in the classics when he was practicing in Qixuanwu Mansion.
, it possesses the blood of a holy beast, and not to mention its speed, its strength can reach the innate realm after it reaches adulthood!
That was the Innate God. To the people of Tianyun Kingdom, innate masters were like mythical figures. Could a direct disciple of Qixuan Valley travel on such a mount? Or... was this a treatment only Lin Ming had?
Lin Ming glanced at Zhao Yanming in surprise and said: "City Master Zhao is really well-informed, but this flying dragon is not from Qixuan Valley, it is mine."!~!
