The Monster Army Attacks

Little Yu couldn't help but feel a bit helpless as more and more people crowded into the small house.

There wasn’t much space to begin with, and now Xiao Pa couldn’t even play around freely.

If playing wasn’t an option, she could always bask in the sun, but she had grown accustomed to doing so with Su Luo.

However, these people kept monopolizing Su Luo’s time, leaving her no opportunity to enjoy the sun with him.

All she could do was find an unnoticed corner to sleep in.

“Little Yu, what’s wrong? You seem distracted,” Su Luo asked, noticing her dazed expression. She had been cultivating just moments ago, but now she seemed lost in thought—and this wasn’t the first time.

“It’s... it’s nothing,” Little Yu snapped back to reality and replied.

“Are you sure?”

“Really, it’s nothing.”

“Maybe she’s just had some insights,” Li Siyi chimed in.

“That could be it.”

At that moment, Yun walked in.

“Come on, I’ve prepared some honey-scented fruit tea. It’s good for cultivation. Give it a try,” Yun offered.

Little Yu took a sip. “It’s delicious.”

“Right? Su Luo really likes it too,” Yun said proudly.

Li Siyi turned to Su Luo. “You like it?”

Su Luo, who was also drinking the tea, nodded. “Yes, it’s really good. Yun’s skills are impressive.”

Li Siyi glanced at Yun and took a sip herself. She had to admit, the flavor was excellent.

Yun had even managed to win over Su Luo’s taste buds. No wonder she had become Su Luo’s most trusted subordinate.

But I won’t let my guard down around you.

However, Li Siyi didn’t stay for long. She had tasks assigned by her sect to complete. The Seven Stars Sword Sect was collaborating with the Tian Guang Sect, and this alliance was being solidified through a marriage arrangement. To ensure the cooperation went smoothly, the sect had assigned her a number of responsibilities.

Little Yu could afford to ignore these tasks since she wasn’t skilled in such matters, but Li Siyi couldn’t escape them. She was quite capable when it came to handling duties.

Before leaving, she called Yun aside.

“So, Yun, I hope you’re truly loyal to Su Luo.”

“Of course I am.”

“Honestly, I don’t like your overly cheerful demeanor,” Li Siyi said, feeling that Yun’s intentions might not be pure, though she had no evidence.

“Alright, I’ll stop smiling then,” Yun replied, her smile fading.

“I’m not Su Luo. You don’t have to take my words so seriously.”

“You’re Su Luo’s friend. I listen to him, and I can listen to you too, especially for something as trivial as this,” Yun said politely.

Li Siyi shivered. Why are you so obedient to Su Luo? You’re supposed to be your own person.

Perhaps this was why Yun had earned Su Luo’s trust.

Or maybe it was just empty politeness.

With that, Li Siyi left.

Nangong Xiyun watched Li Siyi go. Although she occasionally returned to guide her, she couldn’t help but feel she hadn’t been paying enough attention to her disciple lately. As a master, she felt she had been neglectful.

Once this matter was settled, she would arrange some special training for Li Siyi. She knew Li Siyi would love it.

Hehe.

......

Di Haoao returned from the tavern, still disheveled and looking as dejected as he had in Su Luo’s tavern.

Long Xinxin noticed and asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Why did you drink so much?”

Di Haoao instantly put on a cheerful face. “Oh, I met someone interesting today. We had a great conversation, and I ended up drinking a bit too much. I’m a little dizzy now, but it’s fine. I’ll just rest for a bit.”

Di Haoao didn’t dare to tell her what had really happened.

“Hmph, you scared me. But don’t worry, there’ll be plenty of happy times ahead. Our wedding day is getting closer. I can’t wait for it to begin,” Long Xinxin said, her mind drifting into fantasies of the upcoming event. She wore a blissful expression, completely oblivious to the troubled look on Di Haoao’s face.

“Actually...” There’s no need to rush.

“I wonder...” Can I really make you happy?

“We...” Will we be able to love each other as we used to?

Every sentence remained unspoken.

To Long Xinxin, his hesitation was just stuttering.

“What is it? You can tell me anything. There’s nothing we can’t discuss.”

“It’s nothing. I’m looking forward to it too.”

“Good.”

Suddenly, a loud noise echoed throughout the city.

What’s happening? What’s going on?

They soon found out.

A beast army was attacking.

Hearing this news, Di Haoao felt a surge of excitement. This was his chance to prove himself and show everyone who had looked down on him that he wasn’t a failure.

Then he slapped himself.

What kind of mindset is this? Fighting the beast army isn’t about personal glory.

Think of all the brothers who have died at their hands.

Approaching this battle with such selfish thoughts would be disrespectful to their sacrifices.

Di Haoao calmed down, his mind now focused on one goal.

I will annihilate the beast army, leaving none alive.

Long Xinxin watched as Di Haoao instantly sobered up, his demeanor serious and determined. He hadn’t changed at all from the man she knew, and it was kind of attractive.

Di Haoao said, “Let’s go.”

Long Xinxin replied, “Alright.”

......

From atop the city walls, they looked out into the distance. A dark, overwhelming mass of the beast army loomed.

This was different from previous attacks. Both the numbers and the quality of the beasts had significantly improved.

The beast army was intent on sweeping across the South Continent, launching large-scale assaults on human settlements.

The forces gathered on the walls watched with grim expressions, noticing the unfamiliar breeds among the beasts.

For the people of the South Continent, some of these beasts were entirely unknown.

The unknown meant danger.

The Seven Stars Sword Sect was also present. As members of the righteous path, it was their duty to stand against the beast army.

Lin Xuan gazed out solemnly. No matter how many times he faced them, the oppressive presence of the beast army was always overwhelming.

Fierce, monstrous, powerful, and imposing...

In comparison, the humans seemed small and weak.

But if they were truly weak, they wouldn’t have survived this long.

Humanity’s swords had cleaved through the tides of the beast army countless times before.

Di Haoao, however, appeared highly professional. With a single glance, he identified the types of beasts in the enemy ranks and quickly explained their weaknesses and habits.

He also provided detailed strategies on how to deal with them, ensuring everyone was prepared.

There was no need for further dialogue. The beast army charged forward, their only goal to trample the city and slaughter everyone within.

The humans, of course, would not retreat. Behind them were people they needed to protect.

Lin Xuan charged into the beast army once more, and this time, his comrades from the Seven Stars Sword Sect followed closely.

He was no longer fighting alone.

They weren’t just subordinates—they were brothers who had faced life and death together.

Even Lin Xuan’s young Split God Tiger, though newly born, was ferocious in battle.

Lin Xuan moved with unmatched speed, cutting down beasts with precision. Knowing their weaknesses made his strikes swift and lethal, each one aimed to kill instantly before moving on to the next target.

But when the beasts clustered too densely, Lin Xuan didn’t hesitate to unleash a powerful attack, obliterating them all at once.
