164: Beast Tide Arrives

Looking at their envious gazes.

Gu Feiyang in the crowd, along with Mu Zhan and Qin Fei'er's fathers, all had proud expressions on their faces.

Their sons and daughters were successful, and even their fathers, who were mere laborers, could bask in their glory. This feeling was truly exhilarating.

“Gu Direct Disciple, Mu Direct Disciple, and Qin Inner Sect Disciple, pick whichever laborers you want.”

Xia Jiba led Gu Chen and the other two in front of the five thousand laborers, letting them choose for themselves.

“Mm, alright.”

The three nodded and called out their respective fathers.

After glancing at Gu Feiyang and the other two, Elder Xia instructed,

“From now on, the three of you will be their exclusive laborers. Obey all their commands, understand?”

Although these three were Gu Chen's relatives, their primary identity was still laborers of Qingtian Sect, so he still had to give instructions.

“Yes, Elder!” Gu Feiyang and the other two happily accepted the order.

“Mm, go!” Xia Jiba waved his hand, signaling that they could leave.

“Many thanks, Elder Xia.” Gu Chen and the other two cupped their hands towards Xia Jiba, then took Gu Feiyang and the other two back to their respective residences.

As the group left.

Xia Jiba slowly spoke to the laborers who were still looking around.

“Stop looking, everyone!!”

“If your descendants are Direct Disciples or Inner Sect Disciples in the sect, quickly contact them to come and take you away. If not, This Elder will arrange work for you.”

Hearing Xia Jiba say this, not a single one of the remaining laborers made a sound.

If they had descendants who were Direct Disciples or Inner Sect Disciples, they wouldn't need Xia Jiba to tell them; they would have contacted them long ago.

But they didn't, so what was there to contact?

“Alright, since none of you are speaking, then prepare to work.”

Seeing that no one spoke, Xia Jiba stopped wasting words.

He began to assign the laborers one by one to various places in Qingtian Sect to do odd jobs.

After these people were dispatched.

Many busy figures appeared within Qingtian Sect.

There were sweet young women making beds!

There were dignified Middle-aged Men plastering walls and mopping floors!

And white-haired old men cleaning sewers, and so on... In short, wherever there was work in Qingtian Sect, these laborers could be seen.

They cleaned the entire Qingtian Sect spotlessly, so much so that not a single fallen leaf could be found within the sect.

Within Qingtian Sect, everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion.

Outside Qingtian Sect, however, things were about to descend into chaos.

Under the command of several Demon Emperors in the Demon Kingdom.

An unprecedented beast tide occurred throughout the entire Canglan Continent, wherever there were demon beasts.

These low-level demon beasts, devoid of intelligence, attacked nearby humans with suicidal abandon.

The East, South, West, and North Regions, including the Central State, were all within the scope of this beast tide.

Southern Region, Youzhou, outside the Demon Beast Forest.

Endless demon beasts surged out from within, rushing towards nearby populated areas.

The cultivators in the cities closest to the Demon Beast Forest were all aghast at the sight of the overwhelming demon beasts attacking.

They had been outside the Demon Beast Forest for so many years, yet this was the first time they had seen such a massive beast tide.

In the past, beast tides would occur, but never had they been as terrifying as today.

“Holy crap! Holy crap! There are too many demon beasts, we can't possibly resist them, let's run!”

“Run, quickly run, or we'll lose our lives.”

“Oh mama, what kind of medicine did these demon beasts take? Why are they acting like they're insane?”

Some cultivators in the cities had originally intended to organize manpower to resist this beast tide.

But after they killed one wave, even more demon beasts immediately attacked.

Facing seemingly endless demon beasts.

The cultivators who were still resisting all abandoned their cities and properties, fleeing for their lives.

After all, compared to their cities and properties, their lives were the most important. If they lost their lives, they would lose everything.

As one city after another fell.

The demon beasts' tracks began to spread out from Youzhou, advancing towards the entire Southern Region.

The families of Qingtian Sect disciples were already spread throughout the Southern Region.

Some disciple families who couldn't resist the demon beast attacks began to migrate towards Yunzhou, where Qingtian Sect was located.

With Qingtian Sect, an Imperial Sect, in Yunzhou, they didn't have to worry about safety issues.

However, not all disciple families had the strength to migrate across states.

Some disciple families who couldn't resist the beast tide and lacked the strength to migrate began sending distress signals to their relatives in Qingtian Sect.

Within Qingtian Sect.

Li Big Saber hurried towards the main hall, preparing to report this incident to Jiang Chen.

The beast tide had struck, and many disciples' families and relatives were in mortal danger, sending distress signals.

These disciples, if they were to leave the sect alone to save people, would only put themselves in danger.

Therefore, he wanted to ask Jiang Chen for instructions, to see if Qingtian Guards could be dispatched to bring these disciples' families and relatives to settle near Qingtian Sect.

“Reporting, Sect Master, This Subordinate has an urgent matter to report!” Li Big Saber walked to the entrance of the main hall, bowed, and called out, awaiting Jiang Chen's summons.
