Chapter 383 - The Horn From The Top Of The City Walls (2/2)

It would be different if there was a great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast.

Perhaps it could cause damage more serious than hundreds and thousands of ferocious beasts combined.

“Big Yellow, what ferocious beast is it? Go and find out!” Ni Yinghong ordered without any hesitation.

The big yellow dog became focused and serious. Following that, it flashed and left right away. Ou Yangming suggested softly, “Let’s enter the city first. Once the enemy’s confirmed, I’ll come back to help Big Yellow.”

He and Big Yellow were confident about handling most crises, but he was worried because Ni Yinghong was around. Ni Yinghong did not object to it because she knew she would only be a burden to the two of them. With that, she and the young fellow dashed toward the prefecture hand in hand.

Before long, they heard shouts from the top of the city walls. The people were urging them to speed up. Ou Yangming dared not go too fast or too slow with Ni Yinghong beside him. Without warning, he reached out for her slim waist and zoomed toward one of the walls like a ghost.

At the top of the wall, the crowd cheered happily as though they were celebrating their safety.

Afterward, a long rope was thrown down to them. Ou Yangming knew what it was for, hence he carried Ni Yinghong by her waist and grabbed the rope with his other hand. By borrowing force, they made their way up to the top.

Tens of people had gathered at the top of this wall, and they looked into the distance anxiously. One of them shouted all of a sudden, “Master Ou, Master Ou’s back!”

Ou Yangming was slightly stunned. None of the people were Supreme Great Ancestors, and only one of them was a Yang Grade cultivator, but even he was a stranger.

It was not strange. After all, how could a Supreme Great Ancestor be normally a.s.signed to guard the walls? In fact, this side of the walls was lucky enough to have a Yang Grade powerhouse.

The person who screamed was a Yin Grade soldier, who looked at Ou Yangming with respect and joy.

Ou Yangming smiled and nodded. “Have you seen me before?”

“Yes, I’ve seen you in the military camp,” the soldier answered instantly.

It was then that the Yang Grade powerhouse came to a sudden realization. He greeted Ou Yangming loudly, “Greetings, Master Ou.” Even if one had not seen him before, one would not be indifferent after hearing his name.

“Master Ou, you’re back.” A figure approached them in a flash. It was He Xinfang, one of the Supreme Great Ancestors from the capital.

Ou Yangming was surprised. ‘Brother He, why are you in charge of guarding the city?” Ni Yinghong’s eyes gleamed because she naturally sensed He Xinfang’s intense aura. She was certain that he was a formidable Supreme Great Ancestor.

Even so, Ou Yangming treated the man casually, whereas He Xinfang spoke to the young fellow with extreme respect.

“Master Ou, I asked for this job.” He Xinfang smiled brightly and explained, “We followed you here from the capital, so we can’t embarra.s.s you, am I right?”

Ni Yinghong was even more surprised, and she looked at Ou Yangming strangely. She had been focusing on her cultivation in the secret realm, thus she was not aware of Ou Yangming’s feats during the past few months. Besides, when the young fellow carried out those matters, they were more or less related to the two ladies from the capital.

As dumb as Ou Yangming was, he would not speak of such things to Ni Yinghong.

“Brother He, thanks for doing this.” Ou Yangming beamed and said, “I had the opportunity to gain a new understanding of smithing art. If you trust me, send me your weapons, and I’ll refine it for you.”

He Xinfang’s eyes lit up at once. If anyone else had said this, he would have slapped that person long ago.

‘Refine a magic tool? Do you think I’m a fool?’ He would have thought.

Nonetheless, he never doubted Ou Yangming.

He Xinfang lowered his head even more at this moment, and he showed a flattering smile on his face.

‘I must cling to Master Ou tightly!’

Subsequently, Ou Yangming turned around and asked, “Who was the one who sounded the horn? Where’s the danger?”

He Xinfang cast aside his thoughts and immediately focused. He was determined to impress Master Ou.

One of the soldiers pointed into the distance and said, “Sir, that half-spirit beast appeared out of nowhere. I deduced that it’s at least a great ancestor, so I sounded the horn.” He Xinfang looked in that direction as well, and he gasped when he noticed the yellow figure running at the speed of light.

This speed, this size… And of course, this overbearing momentum.

‘Can I defeat such a powerful half-spirit beast?’

When he turned to look, he noticed a weird look on Ou Yangming’s face.
