Chapter 230: Class 5 Magical Beas (2/2)
After Jian Chen had reached the city lord’s mansion, the guards at the gates blocked his path before asking politely, “Are you sire Jian Chen?”
“Correct, that is me!” Jian Chen eyed the guard calmly.
“Sire Jian Chen, please wait one moment, I’ll go notify the lord.” Immediately after confirming Jian Chen’s identity, the guard ran into the mansion.
Seeing the man disappear into the mansion, Jian Chen wasn’t impatient at all. Instead, he began to wait by the doors. Not after long, the expensively dressed Yun Li suddenly came walking out from within.
“Ah, brother Jian Chen, why are you standing outside the gates? Ai, how inconsiderate of my guard, please, come in and sit down. Yun Li had a cordial smile on his face as he approached Jian Chen.
Smiling in return, Jian Chen followed Yun Li into the guest room where they began to talk.
Within the peaceful room, Yun Li and Jian Chen were about to sit down when Jian Chen asked, “What might the city lord want to talk about with me?”
“Ai!” Yun Li suddenly sighed as the smile disappeared from his face and took on an extremely solemn expression.
“Brother Jian Chen, after your appearance, our Wake City has lost quite a large amount of strength. Right now with the impending magical beast invasion, the pressure is quite more than before.” Yun Li had a bitter look on his face as if he was worried.
Jian Chen smiled after listening to Yun Li, “Lord, if you would answer this question, was there ever any appearances of any Class 5 Magical Beasts in the past waves?”
Yun Li’s face grew even more serious as he thought about Jian Chen’s question. “Yes, the Magical Beast waves seem to occur every dozen to twenty years. And according to the past records, from the foundation of Wake City, there has been over twenty waves. Furthermore, there have been five recorded incidences with a Class 5 Magical Beast. With each of these occasions, our Wake City had major losses and paid a heavy price to kill them. With the final occurrence, we had managed to contact a King City where they dispatched an Earth Saint Master to come and deal with it. So that time, there wasn’t much damage to our Wake City.”
“Oh, when you say it like that, the odds of a Class 5 Magical Beast attacking isn’t very high.” Jian Chen muttered with a confident smile.”Lord Yun Li, you needn’t worry. I, Jian Chen, will use my entire strength to protect Wake City from the magical beast wave. As long as there aren’t any Class 5 Magical Beasts, there won’t be any problems. Even though we have lost Tianxiong Lie and three other Great Saint master experts, this one will be able to fully make up for it without being inferior in anyway.”
“Haha, with these words from you, brother Jian Chen, then I will definitely be at ease. I believe that Jian Chen isn’t one who speaks before he acts.” Yun Li’s tightly knit eyebrows slowly loosened as he listened to Jian Chen. Although he had never seen Jian Chen’s strength for himself, he was still painfully aware of how strong he was if he could singlehandedly destroy the Zhou clan and Tianxiong clan.
“My lord, something major has happened!”
Suddenly the cries of a panicked person could be heard from outside the room. Shortly afterward, the closed doors to the room had been thrown open as a heavily bloody soldier suddenly came running in.
“My lord, something terrible has happened! The small squadron we sent into the Magical Beast Forest on a scouting mission suddenly came across a Class 5 Magical Beast! Everyone aside from me was killed by the Class 5 Magical Beast!” The soldier shouted with a labored breath as he tried to convey his words coherently.
