“If you’re looking to find places rich in spirit, the closest Outer City district would be the best place to start.”
“Right?”
Sima Huiniang and Zhou Yuanli looked at each other, taken aback by the question.
Luo Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, “This must be someone targeting the Luo Tian Creed!”
At his words, the two subordinates shuddered involuntarily.
They had also found the timing of this beast tide suspicious, but hadn’t delved deeper.
After all, there had been incidents of wandering demon beasts in the Outer City district of The Great River recently.
What puzzled them was why the demon beasts from Zhouyi Mountain had come this far.
Luo Chen’s sharp remark brought chills to them.
Who would go to such lengths just to target the Luo Tian Creed?
Luo Chen heaved a sigh, a dreadful feeling growing in his heart.
Three or four months had passed since the Inner City of The Great River had turned into the Ghost City.
In this long duration, the Yu Ding Sword Sect had not made any move.
Perhaps that was good news for rogue cultivators.
But for him, that spelled trouble.
It meant his days of intimidation using Pang Renxiong’s token were about to end.
If the Yu Ding Sword Sect did not return in two months, someone would surely make a move against the Luo Tian Creed.
This beast tide could very well be a preliminary probe.
And those Foundation Establishment Cultivators were the primary suspects!
“The beast tide has definitely been induced by someone!”
“But how it was lured here, surely some tactic was used. Otherwise, no power in
The Great River could withstand consecutive beast tides.”
Luo Chen looked at the two, “Thoroughly investigate the Luo Tian Creed.
Identify everything and everyone that may attract a Second Order Blast Ape.” “We obey!”
“We obey!”
With their departure, Luo Chen rubbed his temple.
The tree desired calm, but the wind would not cease!
The seemingly peaceful Great River was, at all times, a ferocious underground battlefield.
The increasingly prosperous Luo Tian Creed would undoubtedly become an enticing piece of fat meat to many.
He needed to plan something.
Although he was worried, he wasn’t afraid.
Because when he decided to stay in The Great River, he had expected the current situation.
Now, he was just about to face it.
“In this dire situation… Perhaps I can emulate past tactics?”
His muttering echoed faintly in the spacious hall.
Came the next morning.
Ninth Level Qi Refinement Cultivators took turns entering and exiting the Bright Moon Hall.
Zhou Yuanli, Duan Feng, Qin Liangchen, Murong Qinglian…
Luo Chen sat at the head of the table, staying silent and leaving everything to Sima Huiniang.
Only when crucial issues arose did he intervene.
“Last night’s battle resulted in minimal losses for our cultivators in the valley. However, the Battle Hall suffered heavily.”
“A total of eleven Battle Hall Cultivators fell during the beast tide. Additionally, two more were severely wounded, possibly never to return to their peak.” Eleven dead, two severely wounded.
That was nearly half of the Battle Hall.
If Luo Chen hadn’t returned when he did, even though the Luo Tian Creed would have emerged victorious, they would have lost their finely honed blade, the Battle Hall.
Even so, the losses were catastrophic.
Murong Qinglian’s report continued.
“The defensive works suffered minor damage, but consumed a whopping ten Medium Grade Spirit Stones, which is a significant expense.”
“Elder Duan is currently expediting the repair of the defensive works to restore the peak state of the Small Five Elements Array.”
“This, too, will require an expenditure.”
“Chairman Sima, your thoughts?”
At the end of the report, Sima Huiniang’s brow furrowed.
Without hesitation, she said, “Repairing the defensive works is of utmost priority. Tell me the figure for the Spirit Stones needed and they will be supplied promptly.”
“The remaining Battle Hall Cultivators should be generously rewarded.”
“The reward standards should follow the ones I set before the battle. However, they can be slightly relaxed to allow equivalent exchanges for high order magic tools and talismans.”
“The severely injured cultivators should not be disregarded. My suggestion is to reassign them to the Logistics Department, letting them continue contributing.”
Decisions flowed out one by one.
From beginning to end, Luo Chen on the sidelines didn’t interfere.
In fact, all these decisions had been discussed with him by Sima Huiniang beforehand.
The losses of the Luo Tian Creed might be great.
But these were concentrated mostly in human casualties.
The material losses were not much.
The wealth of the fallen Battle Hall Cultivators was seized directly.
Just this inheritance could be redistributed as rewards.
Moreover, there were more than two hundred demon beasts slain on the spot.
A portion of it belonged to those who killed them.
The majority, however, were killed by Luo Chen himself.
The meat of the First Order Demon Beasts could be put up for sale after minimal processing.
At the rate of ten jin of meat for a single Spirit Stone, he could easily recoup around twenty thousand Spirit Stones.
The fur, blood, bones were not even counted into this yet.
The only interference from Luo Chen was regarding the rewards for surviving cultivators.
He asked Sima Huiniang to relax the restrictions and not strictly adhere to the established standards.
Instead, these cultivators could exchange equivalent items and their earned merit points for Ascendant Grade Magic Tools and Ascendant Grade Talismans from the Luo Tian Creed.
The intention behind this was obvious.
If the quantity was lacking, quality could make up for it.
These remaining cultivators must have their combat abilities raised!
Fortunately, the Luo Tian Creed did indeed possess such high-quality Magic Tools.
Through three wars, while many Magic Tools were destroyed, they also seized quite a few valuable items.
Many Magic Tools had been repaired by Duan Feng. Now was the time to bring them out and arm the Battle Hall Cultivators of the Luo Tian Creed to the teeth.
