Chapter 1: The Arrival of the Silver Dragon Armor
Back atop the city wall, Lian Yun, unsteady on his feet, immediately sat cross-legged to recover using a Mental Potion and a Diamond Spirit Coin.
Zhuang Wuxue quickly dispatched someone to notify the other three sections of the wall and the three other Huaxia Cities.
The current High Emperor Beast Tide was no longer just a matter of profit; it had escalated to a question of national security. Even though he knew that there were people from the other cities nearby gathering information, Zhuang Wuxue still chose to inform them.
This represented the seriousness of the situation, hoping to draw attention from personnel in the other three cities.
As a result, the previously reserved and even hidden Peerless Monarchs had all summoned at least one Peerless Monarch-level Ghost Slave, along with a few Peak Monarch-level Ghost Slaves.
The same was likely true for the six foreign Famous Cities.
Outside one section of the wall, there were more than seven Peerless Emperor Level Chaos Soul Beasts. Even with two Peerless Monarchs stationed at that wall, it might not hold.
In such circumstances, all Peerless Monarchs had no choice but to give their all.
However, some places experienced particularly unique situations. For instance, Luoyang City, where Xiao Jun was located.
Upon hearing news from Xianyang City, Xiao Jun, whose expression was otherwise unremarkable, stood up as his eyes opened and closed. Three Ghost Slaves clad in Soul Gear appeared behind him.
The three Ghost Slaves waved their hands and collected most of the White Spirit Coins scattered around them, nearly filling half of the space within a radius of one hundred meters. Then, one delivered a punch, another a palm strike, and the last one a finger jab, transforming a large amount of White Spirit Coins into Spiritual Energy.
At the same time, Xiao Jun stepped forward, ignoring the three hundred fellow disciples who were still diligently smashing Gray Spirit Coins.
With the Silver Dragon Armor equipped, Xiao Jun's combat power surged exponentially—dozens or even hundreds of times greater. As long as his Mental Power was sufficient, he could continuously unleash his strongest attacks.
As he entered the Beast Tide, hunting Chaos Beasts of Peerless Monarch level, he faced no danger at all, moving as if he were taking a leisurely stroll.
This overwhelming presence was beyond description, even for a deity.
However, Xiao Jun did not move slowly; along the way, he eliminated several top-tier Supreme Chaos Beasts.
By the time he returned to the battlefield outside the city walls, ten Spirits suddenly appeared beside him. The thirteen Spirits worked together to create a Spiritual Power Greatsword. This was a compromise he had thought of before acquiring the Silver Dragon Armor.
As the ten Ghost Slaves appeared, Xiao Jun waved his hand, and the Silver Dragon Armor seemed to detach from his body, manifesting around him. Without looking back, he commanded, "Take it to my Brother Yun!"
It was unclear who he was speaking to, leaving the surrounding Monarchs momentarily stunned.
However, Yao Yun'er on the city wall swiftly approached, accepting the Silver Dragon Armor without a word before turning back and heading toward Xianyang City.
Earlier, Xiao Jun had made a sweep through the Beast Tide, killing at least eight Peerless Monarch-level Chaos Beasts. Even if there were more left, it likely wouldn’t exceed two or three. Xiao Jun and Elder Mei were fully capable of eliminating them all.
With the area relatively safe now, it made more sense for the Silver Dragon Armor to be delivered to Lian Yun.
Lian Yun was quite surprised by Yao Yun'er’s sudden arrival and her presentation of the Silver Dragon Armor.
Initially, he instinctively felt that something sent out would not be returned; he hadn’t even considered borrowing it for temporary use.
Thus, even with at least three Peerless Monarch-level Chaos Beasts still outside, Lian Yun hadn’t thought about asking Xiao Jun for his Silver Dragon Armor.
However, since Yao Yun'er had brought it over, Lian Yun would not refuse.
He immediately donned the Silver Dragon Armor, and a majestic aura enveloped him. However, Yao Yun'er teased lightly, "You still can't compare to my senior brother."
Lian Yun nodded in agreement, smiling slightly.
Anyone who had seen Xiao Jun wearing the Silver Dragon Armor would hardly believe there was anyone more suited for it than him.
Thus, Lian Yun naturally did not oppose Yao Yun'er's words. Instead, he fell into a moment of contemplation before heading inside the city walls to find Xiao Chengzhong and his six core disciples. "Come gather around me," he instructed.
The six of them sat cross-legged around him.
Lian Yun focused on his understanding of the Ten Thousand Swords Classic and conveyed it to the six through his energy sensing.
Although the six Ten Thousand Disciples had already gained significant insights into the Ten Thousand Swords Classic, under Lian Yun's guidance, they received even deeper comprehension of sword techniques. By the end of their session, each of the six had mastered three to five sword techniques at a high level, but that was not the main point.
The focus remained on Xiao Chengzhong and his companions.
As core disciples, their ability to harness the power of Ten Thousand People would be crucial when the Xianjian Sect's Fortress faced a Beast Tide in the future. They needed to uphold their status as core disciples and be pillars of support for the sect.
After some time, Lian Yun retracted his energy and waited nearly ten minutes until Xiao Chengzhong and the others awakened before asking, "How is it? Are you willing to lead your disciples outside the city walls?"
Xiao Chengzhong nodded seriously and then turned to address his group of Ten Thousand People. "Brothers and sisters, please follow me out of the city."
"Staying hidden behind the city walls and relying on Yaochi Disciples for protection is not how we should behave as Disciple of the Sword Spirit Sect. Everyone, follow me out," Cai Dongsheng also called out loudly.
His implication was clear: as men, hiding behind women was not honorable behavior, nor was it befitting of a Disciple of the Sword Spirit Sect.
In this way, those who were previously hesitant and fearful among the Ten Thousand People quickly turned and followed in Xiao Chengzhong's footsteps.
Leading the Ten Thousand Disciples out of the city essentially meant taking on the responsibility for their lives, so Cai Dongsheng also walked heavily as he led the group toward the city gate.
Afterward, two more individuals led the way out of the city, while the remaining two were core disciples who had arrived later.
Feeling somewhat ashamed, the two deeply bowed to Lian Yun and said, "We lack confidence and do not dare to lead people out of the city. We cannot meet White Patron's expectations; please punish us."
At that moment, Lian Yun was seen as an elder, a respected figure in their hearts.
Lian Yun smiled slightly and replied, "It’s alright. After all, you arrived late and your experience is not as rich as that of Xiao Chengzhong and his group. After the Beast Tide ends, take your time to comprehend."
The two nodded in agreement but looked up at the last of the Ten Thousand Disciples.
Although Liu Wanli was a core disciple, he was essentially at the bottom among them.
He had come at the same time as them, yet now he showed no hesitation as he led the Ten Thousand Disciples out of the city. Whether it was confidence or recklessness remained uncertain to them.
However, Liu Wanli's courage to lead thousands of fellow disciples out of the city indicated a strong inner resolve. Thus, despite their confusion, they felt neither anger nor disdain; instead, they held a sense of admiration for him.
