Chapter 09: The Moment of Absolute Kill
Although the Twelve Cities were in a state of absolute tension during battle, the people of each city were concerned about their own rankings. Therefore, the stationed personnel in each city constantly monitored the combat situations of the other eleven Famous Cities.
In Xianyang City, the appearance of Lian Yun, who seemed to occupy a section of the city wall single-handedly, quickly spread throughout the Twelve Cities.
Within Xianyang City, there was a festive atmosphere. Some ordinary kings began to take action, either entering the Inner City Instance to fight for Spirit Coin resources or preparing to support those on the front lines.
They formed a communication network to relay information about the battle conditions on all sides of the city walls. This allowed those on the walls to have a clear understanding of the situation, enabling them to either speed up their kills or send reinforcements as needed.
Additionally, some merchants rented land within the walls to build Teleportation Arrays, facilitating timely support for combat personnel. They also sold some rare treasures at acquisition prices or even at a loss.
After all, this was related to the fate of everyone in the city, so cooperation was essential.
In fact, during previous Chaos Beast Tide periods, similar situations occurred. However, it was only now that everyone sprang into action due to the overwhelming fear brought by the High Emperor Beast Tide.
Now that hope had emerged, people naturally mobilized with all their strength.
The other eleven Famous Cities likely experienced similar situations; however, they might have been spurred into action by Xianyang City. For some reason, none of these cities seemed to possess the same fluidity and ease as Xianyang City.
Perhaps it was because Xianyang City faced more Beast Tides, and its citizens had richer experiences and knowledge. It could also be attributed to Lian Yun's extraordinary combat power.
Overall, under an atmosphere of nearly universal cooperation in Xianyang City, there was a strong sense of hope and an unwavering spirit among its people.

In Luoyang City, at the South City Gate, in the center of the battlefield outside the gate, Xiao Jun stood at the forefront. With a wave of his hand, he eliminated all Chaos Beasts within a kilometer radius, sweeping across the battlefield.
However, behind him was a rather amusing sight: nearly three hundred ordinary disciples were desperately smashing piles of Black Spirit Coins and Gray Spirit Coins, with only a few breaking White Spirit Coins.
Meanwhile, some initial Medium Monarchs on the battlefield quickly collected White Spirit Coins from the ground. This served two purposes: replenishing their Sect's warehouse and supporting those fighting on the other three city walls.
Qiu ChujI was not present here, but Elder Mei was likely there just in case to protect Xiao Jun's safety!
Upon receiving news from Xianyang City, Elder Mei approached Xiao Jun with bright eyes and gently smiled as she asked, "Can you reach the level of your friend Yun?"
Xiao Jun, with a clear mind, understood Elder Mei's true intentions and shook his head slightly. "Brother Yun must have comprehended the Ten Thousand Sword Technique on his own. I can wield the sword of Ten Thousand People, but I cannot impart that understanding to Ten Thousand People."
"Well then, I will send three Ten Thousand Disciples over," Elder Mei said, a hint of joy on his face.
Although the temporary sealing of the Sect had nearly depleted all of Xianjian Sect's assets, this High Emperor Beast Tide might yield the greatest rewards for Xianjian Sect.
Firstly, Xiao Jun and he were guarding one side of the city wall, which accounted for a quarter of the city's total gains. Moreover, Qiu ChujI still had most of his combat power elsewhere, meaning they could effectively secure half of the city's spoils.
With Lian Yun's unique support, nearly all disciples under him could achieve significant growth; it was truly a win-win situation.
Without hesitation, Elder Mei returned to the city wall and ordered the replacement of three core disciples, sending three Ten Thousand Disciples to Xianyang City.

In Chang'an City, within Azure Pavilion, Lan Ruoxuan frowned slightly upon hearing news from Xianyang City but soon relaxed.
Initially, she did not want Lian Yun's strength to be exposed. However, considering the implications for everyone in Xianyang City, she calmed down somewhat. Additionally, she believed Lian Yun might have other hidden cards and was not afraid of Qin Emperor knowing.
At Ximen in Chang'an City, Ouyang Mingxiu, the master of Heroic Hall, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing about Xianyang City. He thought to himself, "Although there are four Peerless Monarchs in Xianyang City, I was somewhat worried it would fall short. Now it seems that concern was a bit unnecessary."
Meanwhile, at the northern city gate, Qin Emperor wore a dark expression.
He had no personal enmity with Lian Yun; however, Lian Yun had disrupted his trap design against Insect Emperor, causing him to lose face and thwarting his intentions. This ignited a desire for vengeance within him.
Deep down, he felt like a Tyrant who would not tolerate anyone opposing his will. Moreover, knowing that Lian Yun was close to Lan Ruoxuan made him certain that Lian Yun would inevitably become his enemy. Thus, he had plotted to assassinate Lian Yun.
In his mind, 'Bai Yun' had to die.
However, the failure of that assassination attempt revealed Lian Yun's exceptional intelligence; continuing with such plans would not be easy.
Furthermore, Lian Yun's displayed strength and talents, along with his elusive movements, left him feeling at a loss. Yet he never abandoned the thought of killing 'Bai Yun.'
After all, no matter how strong Lian Yun was, he remained merely a king and still had considerable distance to cover before reaching true Peerless Monarch status.
He had once considered lowering his status and personally killing 'Bai Yun,' but he had never found the opportunity.
Now, with 'Bai Yun' displaying a strength that he could not ignore, even feeling threatened by it, he realized he could no longer wait.
He felt that if he continued to delay, with each passing moment, the possibility of him killing 'Bai Yun' would diminish, while the chance of being defeated by 'Bai Yun' would increase.
Thus, how could he continue to wait?
The Qin Emperor looked ahead at the Beast Tide, his gaze growing colder and his killing intent intensifying.
Those who did not understand his thoughts might have assumed he was filled with hatred for the incoming Chaos Beast Tide.
If Lian Yun or even Lan Ruoxuan were present, they might have realized that he was assessing a crucial moment for a decisive kill.
As for Lian Yun now, after commanding the massive Soul Sword to sweep back and forth for nearly a quarter of an hour, he finally stopped. Below him, tens of thousands of Disciples of the Sword Spirit Sect were all exhausted, collapsing to the ground, their faces pale and sweating profusely. However, the expressions of the Ten Thousand People were filled with a joy akin to a bountiful harvest.
The newly recruited Ten Thousand Disciples had already taken their positions and practiced the Ten Thousand Swords Classic, but Lian Yun did not use them. Instead, he moved to hover above Xiao Chengzhong, preparing to attempt a brand new attack.
