“The surveillance footage in the camp showed that there were more than 4,100 demonic beasts gathering in the mountain range interior then, but there are only around 3,200 of them now. And in particular, those bird-species demonic beasts are all gone. Can you tell me what happened?”
In an instant, Hun Sen and Jiang Shuisheng also pricked their ears with eyes fixated on Tang Xiu.
“They were all killed by us,” answered Tang Xiu smilingly. “But you see the price we paid.”
“That’s impossible!” Hun Sen greatly admired Tang Xiu, but he still voiced his disbelief aloud. “That was nearly 1,000 demonic beasts, Tang Xiu, not 10 or 100! There are also more than 3,000 more of them there, ten times the number of your men. There’s no way you can kill that many demonic beasts, no?”
“It’s indeed impossible, and we wouldn’t be that confident in killing so many demonic beasts if we resorted to normal means. Let alone killing them, protecting ourselves would’ve been a tall order,” replied Tang Xiu with a red face. “However, I arranged an array and used its might to attack them and thus, was able to do so.”
“You got any proof?” asked Hun Sen in a deep voice.
“All the remains of the demonic beasts are in my interspatial ring.” Tang Xiu lightly smiled and said, “Senior Hun Sen, you should know about interspatial rings, shouldn’t you? It’s like storage prop, a unique magical treasure for us, cultivators.”
Hun Sen’s pupils contracted, incredulity overflowing from his eyes. He never dreamed that Tang Xiu had a storage magical tool like an interspatial ring. Neither did it occur to him that they not only killed nearly 1,000 demonic beasts but also brought back their remains.
How… on Earth did he do that?
It was something he couldn’t believe, but Tang Xiu gave him the proof with the demonic beasts’ remains, so he had no choice but to believe it. He knew that it was impossible for Tang Xiu to lie about it with such proof.
Great shock also filled Duanmu Lin’s heart. He observed Tang Xiu’s tranquil expression but didn’t know what he should say. Only tens of people resorting to a geomancy array, yet they were actually able to kill nearly 1,000 demonic beasts. Wasn’t such a terrifying result too heaven-defying?
In that instant, Duanmu Lin seemed to realize something. His eyes lit up and his pace came to an abrupt stop.
“What happened, Senior Duanmu?” Tang Xiu stopped his pace, turned his head and asked in surprise.
Staring at Tang Xiu, Duanmu Lin asked while underlining every word he said, “Tang Xiu. If we are to ask you to arrange a geomancy array to surround the Himalayas, are you confident we can stop those demonic beasts?”
At his question, Tang Xiu nodded and answered, “I’m confident it can be done. But the materials needed to arrange the array will be enormous. Especially the array, it must cover a long distance. The scope will vast. Hence, the number of materials needed will be terrifyingly huge.”
An exciting look covered Duanmu Lin’s face as he asked aloud, “I can get them for you, no matter how much you need. Just tell me, what materials are needed?”
“I’ll write you a list of the materials needed when we return to the encampment later,” Tang Xiu said with a smile.
“Great! Hahaha…” Duanmu Lin laughed and contentedly said, “I just knew it that I’d still need to rely on you to fend off those demonic beasts. You know, you have given me tons of surprise.”
“That’s overpraising, Senior Duanmu,” said Tang Xiu humbly. “If it wasn’t for the many friends from the cultivation world who also acted in this effort, the demonic beasts would have brought havoc and disaster to the outside world already. The merits belong to everybody.”
Duanmu Lin smiled and nodded while watching Tang Xiu’s face with appreciation.
At this time, the way Hun Sen and Jiang Shuisheng looked at Tang Xiu was completely different from before. The two men previously thought that Tang Xiu was just a young man who didn’t know the immensity of Heaven and Earth, only relying on his small achievement in cultivation, yet being conceited due to that. But after getting along for a short while, only then did they find how off the mark their thoughts were. Tang Xiu not only had formidable strength and numerous means but also possessed a steady mind and mature character. He didn’t fall into arrogance and was still modest even though he had made a great contribution.
Pacing a step forward, Hun Sen apologetically said, “Tang Xiu, I have to apologize for my previous attitude towards you. Further, I shouldn’t have questioned your ability, nor did I vilify you to be conceited. I hope you can forgive me for that. There are only a few people I admire in this world, but you’re definitely one of them.”
Jiang Shuisheng echoed and nodded. “That’s true. I’m already an old man, Tang Xiu. But I find myself inferior to you in a lot of things. I hope you don’t mind my attitude for judging you by your appearance before.”
Tang Xiu waved and smilingly said, “Gentlemen, you both can be called as seniors in the cultivation world, but you two bravely stand up when the country is in crisis. That’s already worthy of admiration in and of itself to me, so I don’t, and can’t, blame you for that. Besides, our next priority is to stop the attack of those demonic beasts. We must go all out to hunt and exterminate all the demonic beasts on Earth, to begin with. That’s why we’ll need to cooperate well and fight side by side.”
