Chapter 526: The Northern Border Beast Tide! Returning to the Rong Family!

North Border Province.

Even in Jianghai Province, where autumn had just begun, the northern region of North Border Province, the northernmost part of the Dragon Nation, was already filled with a chilling cold, and snow had even fallen in some areas.

The cold wind on the land, in addition to the cold, also carried an indescribable shadow of death and the oppressive atmosphere of cruel slaughter.

Especially in the northernmost region, beneath the mountain ranges, countless iron currents and pet beast tamers formed a solid defensive line.

Behind them was the land of North Border Province in the Dragon Nation, and ahead was the battlefield!

There was no blood or corpses.

In the so-called ghost tide of the undead beast tide, the slaughter seemed to be carried out silently.

In this tide, there was no regularity or order.

Perhaps most of them were jumping zombies, skeleton soldiers—mindless low-level ordinary undead-type fierce beasts.

Or perhaps, a skeleton sovereign, a high-level undead existence known as the Bloody Butcher, would appear among them.

The beast tide was inherently like this.

Therefore, among the countless beast tamers and warriors on the battlefield, no one could guarantee that the next second, the one dying would not be themselves, or perhaps their pet beasts.

Fortunately, after this onslaught lasted through the latter half of the night and the morning, that seemingly endless tide of fierce beasts slowly retreated.

This situation allowed the countless beast tamers and warriors who remained on the battlefield to breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, in the very center of the legion, Cold Lord, who was well-prepared, also heaved a sigh of relief.

The battlefield was vast, covering a distance of over a hundred kilometers. As the Holy Spirit-ranked guardian of the North Border, he couldn't personally handle one side of the battlefield.

After all, any beast tide might have high-level fierce beasts waiting in the rear.

Once he took action, it would put them at a strategic disadvantage on the battlefield, unless there was an absolute overwhelming strength.

However, the beast tide had lasted for more than two months.

For over two months, Cold Lord could only confirm that there were several Holy Spirit-ranked fierce beasts behind this beast tide.

Moreover, they were related to the Heavenly Tomb.

Of course, beast tides could be both good and bad.

It was a danger and an opportunity.

In this war, the Northern Border Legion naturally suffered some casualties, but after experiencing the baptism of such a large-scale beast tide war, the strength of the entire Northern Border Legion had significantly improved.

Furthermore, with absolute logistical support and the escort of the medical beast tamer legion team, compared to the gains, those sacrifices seemed insignificant.

However, as the Ghost Saint commanding this great war from the center of the Northern Border, he didn't show a hint of joy or excitement. He calmly observed the satellite map, his gaze steady.

On the other side, several figures adorned with high-ranking military insignia furrowed their brows in managing the situation:

"Retreated again?! What are these immortal things trying to achieve? Is this onslaught merely aimed at depleting the strength of our Northern Border Legion?"

The figures beside them, also adorned with military insignia, shared the same bewilderment.

Only the figure at the edge remained silent.

Cold Lord's gaze shifted to Su Anyong not far away:

"Su Anyong, what do you think?"

Su Anyong quickly stood up:

"Reporting, I still believe that after this beast tide, the Ghost King doesn't intend to truly invade the territory of the Dragon Nation. It's just a matter of consuming these mid-to-low-level undead fierce beasts."

"Oh?"

Su Anyong continued:

"This ghost tide has lasted for two and a half months. Aside from a few Emperor-ranked high-level fierce beasts appearing every few days, the rest are all Monarch-ranked or lower ghost tide forces.

I'm wondering if this is related to the water disaster in the East Sea earlier this year?"

Hmm? Everyone present was taken aback.

It was clear that everyone present knew about the water disaster in the East Sea earlier this year, centered around Jianghai Province.

However, even many of those present didn't know the core reason behind that water disaster.

Cold Lord, however, was aware of it.

He nodded, his brows slightly furrowed:

"So, what are your plans?"

Among the Holy Spirit-ranked beast tamers, this was no longer a secret.

The Water Saint who had revived during that incident was also known to many.

Precisely because of this, Cold Lord didn't dare to take it lightly, and instead became increasingly vigilant.

Su Anyong thought for a moment: "I still hold the same opinion as before. We should organize a counterattack or conduct a thorough investigation! If these undead ghost tides all originate from the Heavenly Tomb, we should completely eradicate them!"

Before Cold Lord could respond, someone on the side spoke up:

"Captain Su, who will conduct the counterattack?"

The massive counterattack would further stretch the already vast battlefront. If any of the Holy Spirit-rank ferocious beasts find an opportunity to infiltrate the rear habitats, it might cause a major disturbance unprecedented in the past two decades.

Once the city's civilians suffer casualties, who will take responsibility for that?"

This question caused many around them to nod slightly.

Su Anyong shrugged, unbothered that his suggestion was rejected again. The other party's reasons were sufficient, and their considerations were thorough.

After the undead ghost tide began, he had proposed twice, but there were no guarantees or perfect solutions. Even when he wanted to personally lead a team into the depths, he was rejected.

Having grown accustomed to it, he naturally didn't mind.

Soon, as the ghost tide army at the front line retreated, and the Ghost Saint hadn't decided on the next move, she remained silent, while the others left to return to their respective armies to tally their gains and casualties.

Only Su Anyong, left with nothing to do, and the Ghost Saint, Cold Lord, still holding his phone and staring at something, remained.

The Cold Lord lifted his head and glanced at Su Anyong. "What's the situation with the Heavenly Tomb forces?"

Su Anyong, no longer maintaining his serious demeanor, yawned. "What else can I say? Those kids don't need to fight. The current focus is on regular training and enhancing the Night Crow Scarecrow's abilities."

"Tsk, you sound a bit impatient, young one," the Cold Lord chided, his words carrying a hint of impatience. "But I understand. Get ready; their good days are numbered!"

At this, Su Anyong abruptly raised his head. "What do you mean, sir?"

The Cold Lord sighed. "Today, Su Ping returned to North Border Province with Yin Luo. Accompanying them is a man named Lu Heng, reportedly a security team leader from your family. This fellow called me earlier, expressing his desire to test the combat prowess of the hundred or so Forest Wolves you've been training.

Of course, you should know his primary purpose for this visit."

Su Anyong fell silent.

The Cold Lord smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "This fellow has grown beyond your protection. News came in the other day that Su Ping, using his Dragon Seal's authority, appointed the reclusive Mirror Sage from the Dong family of Jianghai as a special guest advisor to the Heavenward Inspectorate, granting him influence and decision-making power over many of its affairs.

This event has caused a huge stir throughout Loong Kingdom, akin to a thunderclap in a clear sky. You should understand the implications. Many influential figures are extremely dissatisfied, believing that beast taming aristocratic families are attempting a revival, rendering the great purge of over twenty years ago meaningless.

Meanwhile, the Holy Dragon Lord tacitly approved this move, encouraging remnants of hidden aristocratic families to regain some power and influence, or at least become active again.

Consequently, many now view Su Ping as a valuable asset, and his actions carry significant weight. The only remaining hurdle is the Heavenly Tomb affair, though not everyone is fully aware of its details.

However, the mid-year press conference's impact was immense. Charles' appearance made everyone aware of the situation, and some are using this to attack Su Ping for his actions and overstepping. You should understand Su Ping's current predicament.

The Holy Dragon Lord hasn't explicitly informed Su Ping of these matters, but there's no doubt they're watching him closely. They're observing whether he can navigate the Heavenly Tomb challenge, and the consequences will be far-reaching, affecting not just Su Ping but also your entire Su family. Do you understand?"

Su Anyong listened intently to the Cold Lord's rare, earnest words, and he understood.

However, after a moment's thought, he looked up. "Sir, what's your stance on Su Ping's command?"

The Cold Lord grinned. "If it were some unknown upstart causing this ruckus, I'd want to see what kind of talent he possesses, what makes him so capable. I'd also want to scrutinize the Dong family's broken mirror, which doesn't even have an owner, and understand why they dare interfere with the Heavenward Inspectorate's affairs at this time.

But you and that fellow are family, so of course, we'll support you wholeheartedly! Besides, what use is their grumbling when the Holy Dragon Lord has given his tacit approval?"

(End of Chapter)Su Anyong was speechless, but he couldn't help but sigh.

"Su Ping is only at the Sovereign Rank now, and Saint Dragon..."

As soon as these words left his mouth, Cold Grandpa's expression turned serious.

"Anyong, his decision is not for others to question. You just need to believe that his decisions are always correct."

Then, he relaxed and chuckled, "Besides, what's so special about the Sovereign Rank? Didn't you just reach the Emperor Rank a couple of months ago? Why don't you go and register a flashy Emperor nickname with the Guild, so that others will know how awesome an Emperor-rank Beast Tamer is?

You're looking down on the Sovereign Rank now, but Su Ping is already at the eighth stage of the Sovereign Rank. Do you know what that means? A Beast Tamer at the eighth stage of the Sovereign Rank can theoretically have their Contract Companion Beast promoted to the Emperor Rank, right?"

Cold Grandpa's words left Su Anyong stunned. "It's not like pulling a carrot out of the ground. The power gap between the Holy Spirit Rank and the Emperor Rank is immense. The power gap between the Emperor Rank and the Sovereign Rank is also significant. Just because he can fight Overlord-rank opponents doesn't mean he can do the same at the Sovereign Rank!" Su Anyong exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Cold Grandpa waved his hand dismissively, "Alright, alright, you should also prepare quickly. Don't just stand there like you've lost your father. Forget about that kid; I'm tired of seeing him too.

Regardless, entering the Celestial Mausoleum is a done deal, so stop being so sentimental. It's better to prepare your men to protect him properly.

Get ready; Lu Heng has arrived. He's family, so you should make arrangements. I'll go find Yin Luo first."

Su Anyong was taken aback. "Huh? Lu Heng and Master Yin are already here? Where's Su Ping?"

"Your son didn't follow the Legion to the front-line camp; he's in North Cold City. He has some business with the Rong Family and is expected to return tomorrow morning or even the day after."

"That little brat, he doesn't know that by going straight to the Rong Family, he's confirming the Guild's suspicions. They're probably fuming right now."

"But there's no point talking about it now. We'll discuss it after he safely returns from the Celestial Mausoleum."

As Cold Grandpa's voice faded, he disappeared from sight.

At the same time, in the center of North Border Province, on a small road in the suburbs of North Cold City, Su Ping shivered slightly, still not quite used to the snowflakes that had begun to fall in the Loong Kingdom's far north as early as October.

"Dragon Sister, have you been to North Border before?"

Long Er, who had been following behind, nodded. "Yes, many times."

Su Ping opened his mouth to ask a question, but before he could speak, his eyes lit up.

In front of them, several figures seemed to have been waiting for a long time, eagerly looking towards them.

The first person who caught Su Ping's eye was none other than his maternal grandfather, Rong Bao.

Not only that, but surrounding him were Rong Xia, his cheap uncle, always with a gentle smile on his face; Rong Qiu, his small aunt, with her soft smile; Rong Mang, his cousin; Rong Zhe, his cousin; and the youngest, Rong Chan, with her round face.

In addition, there were many members of the Rong Family's side branches, standing on the long street, braving the chilly wind that had already penetrated the bones in North Border Province, waiting for Su Ping's arrival.

What surprised Su Ping even more was that as his gaze fell upon them, the figures on the other side also seemed to notice him.

Among them, a figure slowly emerged from the road, which was actually part of the Rong Family's estate.

It was none other than the Rong Family's Snake Ancestor.

Su Ping smiled. So, he had such a high status.

But despite the smile, he didn't let the respect from his maternal grandfather and the entire Rong Family go to his head. He quickly responded, "Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, it's been a long time."
