From Princess of the Cold Palace to Empress of Heaven

Therefore, she needs to care about her more, take care of her, and prevent her from feeling lonely and indifferent.

After Xiao Minghuang returned to the imperial city, he had to seize the time to practice in seclusion, improve his cultivation level, and face the competition, so he didn't have much time to accompany Lin Wanqiu.

So, she sent a voice transmission to Ye Ruoshui:

"Ruoshui, after returning to the capital, you will accompany Wanqiu for me and take care of her more."

Ye Ruoshui responded immediately:

"Don't worry, Your Highness, leave it to me!"

Xiao Minghuang nodded in satisfaction, and immediately pulled Ye and Lin out of the city lord's mansion.

Outside the gate of the mansion, three thousand armored soldiers lined up, ready to go.

Xiao Minghuang didn't say much, boarded the carriage, and headed towards the city gate.

...

When the large group of people reached the city gate, Xiao Minghuang lifted the curtains of the carriage, and the scenery at the city gate came into view.

She looked at Lin Wanqiu, and said softly:

"In late autumn, Beiyang City Gate has arrived, let's take another look!"

"it is good."

Lin Wanqiu responded softly, just got up...

Suddenly.

Boom! ! !

A loud noise like thunder suddenly exploded, and the sound shook for hundreds of miles. The entire Beiyang City, and even the entire wild forest, were plunged into a sky-shattering rage.

Everyone felt that the sky was shaking and the ground was shaking, as if the void was trembling.

All kinds of surprised shouts were heard, the streets were in a mess, people were turned upside down, and many houses even collapsed directly.

Xiao Minghuang and the others on the carriage were not spared either.

Ye Ruoshui was sitting on Xiao Minghuang's left hand, shaking so much that she screamed coquettishly, and bumped her head directly on Xiao Minghuang's shoulder.

Fortunately, Xiao Minghuang reacted quickly enough to stop her, otherwise the two of them might fly out of the carriage.

As for Lin Wanqiu, because she happened to get up when the earthquake happened, she was caught off guard and leaned back, falling into Xiao Minghuang's arms.

The two girls bumped into Xiao Minghuang's body, one in front and one behind. This was by no means a soft and delicate body, but hit her like two cannonballs.

All this happened more and more suddenly, Xiao Minghuang didn't even have time to raise his spiritual power to resist.

Besides, even if she could predict it, she wouldn't do it.

Because if you use spiritual power to resist, you may hurt Ye and Lin, so you can only rely on your physical body to resist.

Fortunately, she was a strong physical body with a perfect body, so she was hit back and forth twice, but it only hurt slightly.

If it were an ordinary Qi Refining Realm martial artist, he would probably be smashed into broken bones.

Both Ye and Lin fell into Xiao Minghuang's arms, and after the shock, they also showed embarrassing expressions.

Ye Ruoshui crawled out of Xiao Minghuang's embrace, eyes dodged, glanced at the messy scene outside the carriage, eyes surprised, and asked:

"Such a big movement, is it an earthquake?"

The sudden tremor spread to hundreds of miles away. Apart from earthquakes, she couldn't think of any other possibility.

Lin Wanqiu also sat upright again, stepped out of the carriage, and looked around.

When she raised her head, she saw patches of dark clouds covering the sky in the direction of the wild forest, as if the end of the world was coming.

at the same time.

In the depths of the mountain range, large swaths of animal roars came out, resounding through the forest.

For an instant.

Lin Wanqiu widened her beautiful eyes, her pupils were full of shock, and hurriedly said:

"It's broken! It's a beast tide!"

Hearing this sentence, Xiao Minghuang vaguely felt that she seemed to have heard these two words somewhere, but couldn't remember them for a while.

While she was thinking, Ye Ruoshui was the first to ask:

"Sister Lin, what is the beast tide?"

Lin Wanqiu looked solemn and explained:

"There are many ferocious beasts living in the depths of the wild forest. Every once in a while, these ferocious beasts may gather and attack the human-inhabited areas. They will swallow people and destroy everything. Wherever they go, not a single blade of grass will grow!"

Hearing this, Ye Ruoshui's complexion changed, his face turned pale, and he said in surprise:

"too horrible!"

Hearing Lin Wanqiu's explanation, Xiao Minghuang also recalled that Lin Zhengquan had told her about it back then.

In a beast tide ten years ago, the old Beiyang city lord was seriously injured and died. Lin Zhengquan suffered a secret injury and was still unable to break through to the Divine Sea Realm. Beiyang City suffered heavy losses and has not been able to recover so far.

It can be said that the beast horde is the number one enemy of Beiyang City, and its threat level far exceeds that of the Golden Elephant Kingdom!

Right now.

Bursts of bells rang, resounding through every corner of Beiyang City.

Accompanied by the sound of the bell, teams of sergeants set out from the city lord's mansion, climbed up the city tower one after another, launched giant crossbow archery towers, and each of them held weapons in their hands, ready to defend the city and resist the beast tide.

A ray of light crossed the sky and came to the three of them. It was Lin Zhengquan, with a complex expression on his face, and said:

"His Royal Highness is about to return to Beijing, the beast horde is really not coming at the right time."

Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly, and looked into the distance, only to see the ground trembling, the mountains swaying, and the forest sea undulating, accompanied by countless bloody smells, all directions, and the demonic aura soaring into the sky.

"Where does City Lord Lin say anything? As a royal princess, since I'm here, I will naturally help Beiyang City and tide over the difficulties together with the whole city!"

"Your Highness's daughter, please stay in the City Lord's Mansion, it is safer and more secure."

Xiao Minghuang didn't speak, just glanced at him lightly, but she had already expressed her meaning clearly.

Lin Zhengquan naturally understood, and did not try to persuade her again. After getting along with her for a period of time, she knew that Princess Jiu was a wise man who followed her word.

"Then please be more careful, Your Highness, I will arrange the defense of the city first!"

"City Master Lin is himself."

The voice fell.

Lin Zhengquan's figure disappeared again.

In just a quarter of an hour, the entire Beiyang City was mobilized up and down, and everyone was united to prepare for the incoming beast horde.

The three of Xiao Minghuang stood on the tower that was nearly a hundred feet high, and from a distance they could see black clouds pressing down on the city, flying sand and rocks, and countless ferocious beasts of different shapes coming in a mighty rush.

Seeing this terrifying scene, even Xiao Minghuang couldn't help but clenched his palms, and Ye Ruoshui hugged her slender waist tightly, obviously terrified.

She gently stroked Ye Ruoshui's back, and comforted her softly:

"Ruoshui, don't be afraid, my sister is by your side and will protect you."

After her comforting, Ye Ruoshui's trembling body gradually calmed down.

Xiao Minghuang looked at the tide of beasts rolling and beating like a black river, and there was also a hint of doubt in his eyes, and asked:

"This beast horde is so terrifying. Didn't Beiyang City report it to the imperial court and ask the royal family to clean it up?"

Hearing this, Lin Wanqiu shook her head slightly and explained:

"Your Highness does not know that the beast tide comes from the depths of the wild forest, and the ancient existence there may not be disturbed even by the royal priests."

"Besides, this beast horde comes and goes quickly. Unless there are strong people in the Divine Sea Realm stationed here in advance, it will be too late to deal with it, but..."

Speaking of this, Lin Wanqiu's voice paused, with a look of doubt on his face.

"According to historical records, in the past, there would be signs three to five days before the arrival of the beast horde, allowing us time to call for help, but this time, the sign appeared together with the beast horde, very suddenly..."

While the two were talking, some ferocious beasts, which were naturally good at speed, rushed to the vicinity of the city wall.

It was a gray wolf more than ten feet tall, its hair was like a steel needle, and its speed was like lightning. It jumped more than ten feet high, and it grabbed the smooth city wall directly, jumping and climbing towards the tower. come.

Many of the soldiers defending the city were new recruits who had never been baptized by the flames of war. Seeing the black beast hordes and countless terrifying beast shadows, they felt timid.

There are even young sergeants who can't even hold the spear in their hands steadily.

"It's a body-forging beast, the big bad wolf!"

An elderly sergeant shouted: "Everyone, don't panic. According to the skills given to you during the drill, we will definitely be able to defend the city!"

Encouraged by the senior sergeant, many recruits felt relieved a little. They knew that the man who spoke was a veteran who survived the last beast horde. If so, there is nothing wrong.

but.

Just the next moment.

A ferocious gray wolf swooped out and rushed up the tower, its whole body was full of light, and there were faint and strange lines flowing around its body. It roared ferociously with its bloody mouth and sharp fangs, and it instantly swallowed the head of this shouting veteran Down.

"Ow!"

The big bad wolf swallowed the old soldier's head and roared to the sky. With cold wolf eyes, he looked around. The young soldiers were like fish waiting to be slaughtered, and he was allowed to taste them.

"Beast, die!"

Suddenly.

An angry screech sounded.

Seeing the long blue knife in Lin Wanqiu's hand emerged, the shadow of the knife more than ten feet solidified immediately, she jumped up, and slashed down fiercely in the air.

Bang!

This knife seemed to be chopped on a hard boulder. The big bad wolf turned its head around, its green eyes filled with blood, and opened its bloody mouth suddenly, biting on the shadow of the knife.

The sharp teeth of the big bad wolf slammed hard, and the cold blue sword shadow was bitten into two pieces, and the light disappeared!

The luster of the blue long knife dimmed suddenly, and it could not be used again in a short time.

Lin Wanqiu's face turned pale, and her pupils were full of disbelief.

"It's the Qi Refining Realm! This big bad wolf is a Qi Refining Realm monster!"

This scene shocked everyone present.

Fierce beasts are born with strong physical bodies and long life spans. Even some ancient races have blood inheritance. They don't need hard work. They just need to find a place to hide and live long enough to become very powerful.

Compared with ferocious beasts, human warriors have no chance of winning in the face of ferocious beasts if they do not rely on powerful magic weapons, or fight more and less in the same realm.

Of course, this is for relatively mediocre human warriors.

If the true disciples of the three major sects are here and are in the same great realm, there may not be a possibility of a tie.

Facing the big bad wolf in the Qi Refining Realm, all the soldiers present were filled with fear, and some even retreated quietly.

This scene was noticed by Lin Wanqiu.

She is equally afraid, equally afraid, but she will not retreat.

Beiyang City is her home.

She didn't allow it, her home was trampled by fierce beasts.

Lin Wanqiu stared at the soldiers, and said coldly:

"Defending Beiyang City is everyone's responsibility. Anyone who dares to retreat will die!"

Hearing this, the two sergeants who were about to escape stopped immediately, in a dilemma.

Just listening, Lin Wanqiu said loudly again:

"Everyone, don't forget the drills in the weekdays, end the formation!"

This cry woke up all the sergeants.

They have practiced the military formation on weekdays, but because they were too panicked when they went to the battlefield for the first time, they almost forgot.

Afterwards, all the sergeants formed an array immediately, and dozens of three-foot-long spears joined together in a bunch, and they all moved towards the big bad wolf to cover up and kill them.
