Chapter 234 : Ch-234: A bag of beasts???
Everyone was fleeing in panic to the nearest teleportation arrays scattered across the city for emergency situations like this.
The cultivators who were in charge of evacuating people turned their heads toward the direction where the explosion had taken place and where the screams were coming from. They could see a few buildings being burned to the ground due to the explosions. Mu Ning Xue and Mu Shiran also saw this from the mansion but understood that it could not withstand the attack.
Mu Ning Xue grabbed her daughter's arm and hastily walked out of the mansion.
"Come on! We need to quickly move towards the nearest teleportation array so that we can escape," Mu Ning Xue exclaimed as she started to drag her daughter with her. The maids hurriedly followed closely behind, terrified out of their minds.
Roar
The group that walked out of the mansion stiffened, and their movements froze when they heard the roar of multiple beasts nearby. They nervously raised their heads and immediately paled at the scene in front of them.
"M-Mother, that—" Mu Yiran stuttered, her body trembling in fear from the pressure. She was just an ordinary mortal with the potential to become a cultivator.
"H-Heavens," Mu Ning Xue gasped as she put Mu Yiran behind her, who had a pale face. They watched in horror as more than a dozen corrupted beasts hovered above them. But what terrified them the most was the woman leading the beasts—Cai Zhi. They recognized her from the reports of the City Lord and the guards.
She had led previous attacks, and rumors described her as one of the cruelest members of the mountain clans
"My, my, were you trying to escape? Looks like luck is in my favor," Cai Zhi said in a playful tone, while the others behind her chuckled, looking at the mother and daughter with a glint in their eyes.
'How did they get here? I can't handle any of them. Damn, I should have focused more on my cultivation. At least I need to help Yiran escape. If I survive, I'll accept Wang Ming's offer; at least I'll be stronger by cultivating with him,' Mu Ning Xue thought.
She quickly grabbed Mu Yiran and tried to make her way back to the mansion. The mansion had protective arrays that could at least stall them for some time, giving her a chance to contact her husband.
Boom
As they tried to escape back to the mansion, an attack was launched that blew up the pathway, forcing Mu Ning Xue to halt her retreat while the maids screamed in fear.
"Heh, where do you think you're escaping to?" Cai Zhi sneered, looking mockingly at the group below.
"You two, go catch them," Cai Zhi ordered in a cold voice to two of the cultivators, who looked excited as they rushed toward the group with mad grins on their faces.
"Haha, beauties, don't resist, or we'll have to get violent with you. I don't want to spoil your beautiful faces and delicate bodies, but if you resist, you're going to get a beating," one of the men said as his gaze swept across both Mu Ning Xue and Mu Yiran bodies with lecherous smile.
"Shiran, run! I will try to stall them," Mu Ning Xue yelled, knowing their fates would be worse than dogs if they fell into their hands.
"No way, Mother! I won't leave you!" Mu Shiran denied vehemently.
"Don't argue, run!" Mu Ning Xue said hurriedly.
"Hmph, do you think you can escape me?" the man snorted as he reached out his hand to grab Mu Shiran under Mu Ning Xue's anxious eyes.
Thud.
Just as he was about to grab her, the man's head rolled from his body, and his lifeless body dropped to the ground with a thud.
"Who...?" Cai Zhi, who had been watching from above with a smirk, stiffened. Her body tensed as she frantically looked around, unable to see the attack or understand how her men had died—until her eyes landed on the figure of a handsome young man.
"Wang Ming!" Mu Yiran and Mu Ning Xue both exclaimed.
Their eyes widened, along with Cai Zhi and the others, as they saw many corrupted beasts trapped inside some kind of net.
A few moments ago...
"Damn, looks like I'm a bit late," Wang Ming said as he saw the beasts attacking Cherry City and quickly rushed forward.
"System, can you suggest something I can use to capture the beasts?" Wang Ming asked, planning to capture them all first and then kill them with one strike using the second sword form.
[ System Message: Beast Immobilizing Net]
The system replied.
Wang Ming quickly opened the shop and found it.
[ Beast Taming Net ]
[ Type: Item]
[ Description:
A low-quality net used by beast tamers in the Upper Heavens to subdue beasts by blocking their cultivation. The net shatters into dust after a single day.]
[ Cost: 100,000]
Wang Ming bought it without hesitation and narrowed his eyes toward the area where the explosion was happening.
The already tense crowd became even more terrified when the first attack struck. A group of cultivators appeared on flying corrupted beasts, launching blasts into the heart of the city. This triggered widespread panic among the mortals, who began fleeing in fear, while the cultivators quickly mobilized. Stay tuned with m,v le,mpyr
They looked up just in time to see another group of attackers flying over the town, unleashing a barrage of attacks before anyone could react. Shops and windows shattered, streets turned to rubble, and children and residents ran for their lives, with many in the streets left wounded.
"Haha, let's finish them off!" One of the men flying and wearing a cloak with a hood, exclaimed in a malicious and evil tone, looking down with a smile.
"I'm going to butcher them all," said one man, cackling with a mad glint in his eyes.
"Don't kill everyone. Capture some of them so we can torture them later and sacrifice them to replenish the lotus," said another man.
"Let's go," he said to the others as he ordered the beast to fire another attack, blowing up windows and another building. The sky filled with corrupted beasts as they started launching attacks.
"Heh," one of them smirked as he saw a group of cultivators trying to evacuate a group of children. He ordered his beast to charge up another attack.
"Damn it," muttered the cultivator who saw this, his pupils constricting as he prepared to sacrifice his life to block the attack.
"Haha, die!" the attacker sneered, but just as his mount was about to fire, he felt something warm on his face. Clutching his neck, he realized it had been slit.
While the beast was covered in a net that completely suppressed its cultivation, it instinctively tried to escape but could not.
"Huh, looks like the net is effective," Wang Ming said as the bandits and everyone else watched him in stunned silence.
