Chapter 304.
Snap!
In the middle of the dense forest, a thick patch of snow suddenly flew up, and the ground turned over to reveal a dark hole.
Wang Dust leapt out from the secret tunnel.
With a wave of his robe sleeve, he re-hid the entrance to the tunnel.
In the next moment, Wang Dust’s figure disappeared without a trace in the same place.
An incense stick later, he appeared outside Flying Immortal City.
The tide of beasts, had already receded.
Twelve flying ships hovered in the sky above the city, their bows facing outwards in a defensive formation, their bodies shining with a faint light.
These flying ships belonged to large third-order magic treasures, and both their combat and attack power were very strong.
Even a great demon wouldn’t dare to take the lead!
The hatches of some of the flying ships were wide open, and a cultivator wearing a moon white robe flew in and out.
It was a busy scene.
Most of these cultivators were young, around twenty to thirty years old, basically all Qian cultivators, few Kun cultivators.
It was just that although the beasts had retreated back into the Jade Dragon Mountain, the damage they created was not something that could be wiped out in a short period of time.
Walking on the streets littered with rubble, Wang Dust witnessed a miserable scene.
Thousands of demonic beasts had destroyed a small half of the city, especially the outer areas, which were almost leveled to the ground.
Amidst the ruins, there were quite a few bodies of cultivators scattered.
They were actually considered lucky, at least there were bodies left behind, most of those who died in battle were devoured by the demonic beasts.
Leaving behind blood all over the ground.
And the white-robed cultivators who came down from the flying ship were cleaning up these corpses.
They first took off their storage bags and carefully searched the corpses, then piled them up before cremating them.
After the corpses were burned to ashes, these white-robed cultivators struck out the talisman of immortality and the talisman of warding off evil spirits.
This was able to dispel the grudges of the dead souls to avoid the appearance of evil spirits.
Wang Chen noticed that these white-robed cultivators all had a roaring tiger embroidered on their chests.
Obviously belonging to the same organization.
Just watching them methodically searching the corpses and picking up treasures, some of the surviving Flying Immortal City cultivators couldn’t help themselves.
A cultivator quietly hid next to a collapsed stone house and probed to grab a corpse that had fallen behind the house.
This corpse was wearing a brocade robe, its head was pierced by a bone spur, and its eyes were still wide open after death.
A storage pouch with a patterned imprint hung from its waist, which looked quite high-class.
The target that this cultivator coveted was precisely this storage bag.
He thought he was unaware of it, and then the moment he grabbed the storage bag, a brilliant sword light suddenly descended from the sky and pierced through his head!
Immediately afterward, a white-robed cultivator swept in.
He snorted and nonchalantly searched the two corpses cleanly.
Then he grabbed them and threw them into the middle of the pile of corpses.
The same situation occurred more than once, and not a single person was able to successfully steal the chicken.
Instead, quite a few cultivators were killed as chickens!
The effect was quite good.
In addition to the cultivators who died in battle, these white-robed cultivators were also collecting the corpses of the demonic beasts, as long as they remained largely intact, they were all put into their storage bags.
The flying ships hovering over Flying Immortal City kept the entire city under close surveillance, and whoever wanted to take food from the tiger’s mouth would be dealt a severe blow!
However, the white-robed cultivators did not restrict the entry and exit of Flying Immortal City’s cultivators, and ignored all of them if it did not affect their movements.
But when they encountered some injured cultivators, the white-robed cultivators would take the initiative to gift healing pills.
Again, showing considerable goodwill.
It was after discovering this point that Wang Chen entered the city to explore.
After experiencing this Beast Calamity, the pattern of Flying Immortal City was bound to change drastically.
If he stayed outside all the time, he wouldn’t be able to understand the situation here and would be quite passive in the future.
After all, Wang Chen was going to use Flying Immortal City as a springboard to the Western Sea Spirit Region.
The center of the Flying Immortal City area was undoubtedly much less damaged by the demonic beasts, and a large number of cultivators who had survived the calamity gathered in groups.
Some people were worried that the demonic beasts would make a comeback and wanted to organize a team to leave Flying Immortal City.
There were also people who thought that it was very unwise to leave Flying Immortal City right now because there were likely a large number of demonic beasts roaming the outer regions.
Going out in isolation would be a complete death sentence!
Some wanted to leave, some wanted to stay, and those with different opinions bickered.
“You guys stop arguing!”
A cultivator suddenly said, “Does anyone know which family these flying ships belong to?”
This was the core of the problem.
Earlier when the demonic beasts had besieged Flying Immortal City, if these flying ships with powerful armaments hadn’t appeared in time, then the people present would be lucky if they could survive one-tenth of them.
It was only just now that everyone had intentionally or unintentionally overlooked this issue, and now they looked at each other in disbelief, momentarily falling into silence.
In fact, many cultivators had doubts in their hearts.
On the one hand, they had to thank these outsiders for saving the lives of themselves and others.
On the other hand, everyone felt that the flying ship above their heads would not leave easily, and they were afraid that it would have a huge impact on their future lives in Flying Immortal City.
There was a kind of instinctive scorn!
“I know.”
A middle-aged cultivator with graying temples said in a deep voice, “They’re from the White Tiger Sect!”
The White Tiger Sect was a medium-sized Immortal Sect whose mountain gate was tens of thousands of miles away, and this time, when they suddenly visited Flying Immortal City in large numbers, no one would believe it if they said they were just passing by by coincidence.
To know that a medium sized Immortal Sect, being able to put together a dozen or so flying ships would already be the limit.
Someone asked, “Then what do we do?”
No one answered this question.
What could be done?
One could only take one step at a time.
There were no other immortal cities within a few thousand miles of Flying Immortal City, and now that it was winter, the outer regions were very dangerous.
Unless forced to, who would want to run out at this time?
The White Tiger Sect’s intentions were unknown, but with twelve flying ships guarding the area, there was no longer any need to be afraid of demonic beasts making a comeback.
It was undoubtedly safer to stay here.
Some were in favor, some were against, and the scattered cultivators couldn’t come up with a solution.
They soon dispersed.
Wang Chen, who was mixed in the crowd, also followed and left.
He found an inn nearby to stay.
The original cave had already been destroyed by the Red Earth Beast, and even the tunnels and secret rooms had been mostly destroyed, so if he wanted to go back to live there, he would need to spend a lot of time refurbishing it.
The effort was no less than rebuilding!
Wang Chen did not intend to rebuild, and first resided in Flying Immortal City for a few days, and it would not be too late to figure out the situation before making a decision.
Since the city area was basically intact, some of the restaurants and inns that hadn’t been affected by the war hadn’t shut down.
Life had to go on even if the days were hard.
Wang Chen paid the rent for five days and chartered a single guest room to stay temporarily, waiting for the situation to change.
Facts proved that his decision was correct.
On the day after the beast tide receded, all twelve flying ships landed on the outskirts.
The White Tiger Sect’s cultivators were distributing notices in the city.
Wang Dust also took one.
