137: Chapter 137 Return to Baiyun City

When Wang Bin returned to his residence, filled with disappointment, Du Juan was already pacing back and forth anxiously inside the house, like an ant on a hot pan.

"Senior Brother, you're finally back!"

Du Juan said eagerly, "I went to great lengths, asking around everywhere, and finally figured out the situation of yesterday's chaos.

Do you know? That detestable Zhong Sheng Sect actually came up with such a sinister trick yesterday.

They used the Spirit Feather Cranes from West Sea City, tying those propaganda leaflets to their bodies.

Then, they waited for the moment the fireworks bloomed in the sky, probably using a Beast Tamer, or some method we don't know about, to control those First-Tier Spirit Feather Cranes, making them drop the leaflets in all directions.

As soon as this incident occurred, West Sea City immediately recalled all the Spirit Feather Cranes, fearing further trouble.

Moreover, that wasn't all; the Zhong Sheng Sect, in their madness, launched a Yao Beast tide against the cities on the edge of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, causing widespread panic and chaos.

As soon as the incident happened yesterday, the Four Seas Commerce League immediately reacted, swiftly dispatching two Nascent Soul Elders and more than a dozen Golden Core Elders to provide support.

It is said that after the auction ended, another group of Cultivators rushed over, and today, another group of Cultivators is scheduled to depart.

I'm really worried about Xiao Yue, and I want to go and check on the situation myself; I hope nothing has happened to her!"

Hearing this news, Wang Bin's heart suddenly tightened, as if clutched by an invisible large hand, filled with worry for the safety of White Cloud City.

This Cultivation World is simply a huge, crisis-ridden vortex; he had always been honest and law-abiding, never proactively seeking trouble, only wishing for a period of stability to properly improve his strength and develop his Family.

But who would have thought, this was already the third time he had suffered an unprovoked disaster.

It truly echoed the saying, 'The tree desires stillness, but the wind will not cease!' Although he had fortunately escaped this calamity, his wives and children were all still in White Cloud City.

Thinking of his Family, which he had painstakingly managed and which had only just begun to show a little promise, was it really going to be ruined in an instant?

"No, Aunt, you must stay here."

Wang Bin looked at Du Juan with a solemn expression, saying firmly,

"When you bid for the Violet Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill at the Chu Family auction yesterday, so many people saw you.

If you leave the city now, you don't know how many dangers you'll encounter along the way.

Moreover, you are only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator; even if White Cloud City truly gets into trouble, your going there won't make much of a difference, and you might even put yourself in danger.

I'll go alone; just rest assured."

Wang Bin looked at Du Juan, his eyes full of concern and reluctance, and gently patted her shoulder, comforting her emotions.

Finally, Wang Bin gritted his teeth and, in one go, took out five hundred drops of Spirit Liquid and handed them to Du Juan,

"Aunt, take these Spirit Liquids; if I also meet with misfortune this time, you must promise me to raise our children well to adulthood.

Don't worry, I have many life-saving treasures on me; nothing will happen so easily.

You must remember, do not leave West Sea City until you reach the Golden Core Stage; you must protect yourself!"

After Wang Bin reminded Du Juan a few more times, he hurried towards the inner city of West Sea City.

Du Juan had mentioned earlier that another group of Four Seas Commerce League Cultivators was going to support the border today; as the City Lord of Baiyun City for the Four Seas Commerce League, with the waist token Chu Wu gave him, catching a ride on a flying ship should not be a problem.

After all, large flying ships are much faster than traveling by oneself, and also safer.

Wang Bin traveled at full speed, and with Chu Wu's waist token, he successfully found the departing team.

His gaze quickly searched through the crowd, and suddenly, a familiar figure came into view.

"Xuantian?" Wang Bin couldn't help but blurt out.

"Qingmu? Why are you here?"

Xuantian turned his head when he heard the voice, and seeing Wang Bin, he also looked surprised.

"I came to attend Young Miss Chu Qingluan's Golden Core Grand Ceremony yesterday, and I didn't expect to hear that something happened to White Cloud City today; my heart is burning with anxiety, so I'm rushing back to check on the situation."

Wang Bin quickly explained.

That's right, Wang Bin, holding Chu Wu's waist token, thus infiltrated this group of support personnel.

He didn't expect to encounter Senior Brother Xuantian, who had supported White Cloud City ten years ago; however, after ten years, Xuantian's cultivation remained at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, without any progress.

Nevertheless, since there was an acquaintance, Wang Bin naturally chose to follow the ship he was on without hesitation.

"Senior Brother Xuantian, I only heard that the Yao Beasts in the Demon Beast Mountain Range launched attacks on all the cities near the mountain range, but I'm truly worried about my White Cloud City; I don't know what the situation is like now?"

Wang Bin, full of worry, inquired about the news from Xuantian.

"Yesterday, all the cities on the edge of the Demon Beast Mountain Range were fiercely attacked by Yao Beasts, but now those Yao Beasts have retreated back into the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

As for your White Cloud City, I'm not too clear about the specific situation.

However, ten Third-Tier flying ships will be going to support soon; each ship is equipped with more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Cultivators and dozens of Qi Refining Cultivators, and a Golden Core Elder is also stationed there.

Several Fourth-Tier flying ships were already dispatched yesterday, reportedly to attack the Demon Beast Mountain Range, hoping to completely resolve this crisis, but I'm not too clear about the specific situation either."

Xuantian told Wang Bin all the information he knew, without holding anything back.

Not long after, ten flying ships slowly sailed out of West Sea City.

As soon as they left the city, the Third-Tier flying ships accelerated at full power, their speed far exceeding Wang Bin's Flying Cloud Shuttle.

"The situation is urgent this time; the flying ships can't worry about consumption and are advancing at full speed; it's estimated that it won't take even a day to reach the Demon Beast Mountain Range."

Xuantian stood on the deck, looking into the distance, and said with a solemn expression.

Wang Bin also stood on the deck; his mood was exceptionally heavy, his mind filled with concern for White Cloud City, and he had no desire to rest inside the ship's cabin.

Along the way, the journey was calm and uneventful, with no signs of battle whatsoever.

Time flew by, and almost a day later, the flying ship was finally nearing its destination.

After Wang Bin expressed his gratitude to Xuantian again, he disembarked from the flying ship.

It was already very close to the Demon Beast Mountain Range here, and the destination of these flying ships was not White Cloud City, so Wang Bin had no choice but to disembark here and then travel to White Cloud City alone.

At this point, only a little over a thousand li remained until White Cloud City.

Wang Bin unhesitatingly took out his Flying Cloud Shuttle, infused it with spiritual energy, and flew at full speed towards White Cloud City.

Along the way, there were still no signs of battle, which somewhat eased Wang Bin's mind, but at the same time, it filled him with doubt.

When he was still dozens of li from White Cloud City, Wang Bin put away his Flying Cloud Shuttle, cautiously took out his Snow Fox Cape, and gently draped it over himself.

Then, he stopped using spiritual energy, held his breath, and like an agile leopard, ran at full speed towards White Cloud City.

After running for about another half an hour, the familiar outline of White Cloud City finally slowly appeared before Wang Bin's eyes.

Wang Bin's steps suddenly halted; his eyes widened, staring fixedly at the scene before him, his expression instantly freezing.

All he saw were broken walls and ruins scattered everywhere, shattered bricks and stones lying helplessly on the ground like abandoned children, and everywhere were the corpses of low-level Yao Beasts, emitting pungent smells of blood.

Seeing such a scene, Wang Bin's heart felt as if it had been sharply pierced by a blade, and an ominous premonition surged within him.

However, when his gaze shifted to the more central area, and he saw that the light shield formed by the city-protecting grand formation still perfectly enveloped the inner city, his hanging heart finally eased somewhat.

At least, the inner city of White Cloud City was still there, and the City Lord's Mansion was also still there, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.

It was just, he didn't know how many casualties the people of White Cloud City and his own Family had suffered in this disaster.
