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

Northern Province.

Even in Jianghai Province, autumn had just begun, but in the Northern Province, the northernmost region of the Dragon Kingdom, it was already a chilling landscape, with some areas even covered in snow.

The cold wind above the land carried not only the chill but also an indescribable shadow of death and the oppressive atmosphere of cruel slaughter.

Especially in the northernmost region, beneath the mountain range, countless steel torrents and pet beast beastmasters formed an impregnable defensive line.

Behind them was the Northern Province of the Dragon Kingdom, and ahead was the battlefield!

There was no blood or corpses.

In the necromantic beast tide, the so-called ghost tide, the slaughter seemed to be silent and imperceptible.

In this tide, there was no pattern or sequence.

Perhaps most of them were jumping zombies, mindless low-level common necromantic beasts like skeleton soldiers.

Or perhaps, a skeleton monarch or a bloodthirsty butcher, a high-level necromantic existence, might appear among them.

The beast tide was inherently like this.

Therefore, among the countless beastmasters on the battlefield, no one could guarantee that the next second, the one dying would not be themselves or their pets.

Fortunately, after this onslaught lasted through the late night and early morning, the seemingly endless tide of ferocious beasts slowly receded.

This situation allowed the countless beastmasters on the battlefield to breathe a sigh of relief, and Lord Leng, who was at the heart of the legion, also heaved a sigh of relief.

The battlefield was vast, spanning a distance of over a hundred kilometers, and as a Holy Spirit Rank beastmaster stationed in the North, it was impossible for him to personally handle one side of the battlefield.

After all, any beast tide might have high-level ferocious beasts lurking behind.

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

This beast tide had lasted for over two months.

In these two months, the only thing Lord Leng could confirm was that behind this beast tide, there were several Holy Spirit Rank ferocious beasts.

Moreover, it was related to the Heavenly Tomb.

Of course, the beast tide had its ups and downs.

It was both a danger and an opportunity.

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

Furthermore, with absolute assurance from the rear, the medical beastmaster legion team's protection, compared to the gains, the sacrifices seemed insignificant.

However, as the commander at the center of the Northern Border, guiding this great war, the Ghost Saint showed not a hint of joy, gazing at the satellite image with a calm expression.

On the other hand, several figures wearing high-ranking military insignias frowned in surprise:

"They're retreating again?! What are these undead things up to? Is this onslaught merely to exhaust our Northern Border?"

The figures nearby, also wearing military insignias, were equally surprised.

Only one figure at the edge remained silent.

Lord Leng's gaze shifted, looking at Su Anyong not far away:

"Su Anyong, what do you think?"

Su Anyong quickly stood up:

"Reporting, I still believe that the Ghost King after this beast tide doesn't intend to truly invade the Dragon Kingdom's territory. They're just purely consuming these mid-to-low-level necromantic beasts!"

"Oh?"

Su Anyong then spoke:

"This ghost tide has lasted for two and a half months. Apart from a few Imperial Rank ferocious beasts appearing every few days, the rest are all Monarch Rank or lower ghost tide forces.

I'm thinking, is this related to the water disaster in Donghai at the beginning of the year?"

Huh?

Everyone present was taken aback.

It was clear that everyone knew about the water disaster in Donghai at the beginning of the year, centered around Jianghai Province.

However, even many of those present didn't know the true cause of that water disaster.

But Lord Leng knew.

He nodded slightly, his eyebrows furrowed:

"So, what are your plans?"

That water disaster was no longer a secret among Holy Spirit Rank beastmasters.

The Water Sovereign who had revived during that disaster was also known to many.

Precisely because of this, Lord Leng didn't let his guard down, even when the Northern Border Legion had already gained the upper hand. Instead, he became more 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 necromantic ghost tides are coming from the Heavenly Tomb, we should completely eradicate all ferocious beasts within the Heavenly Tomb's range!"

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

"Captain Su, who will lead the counterattack?

The massive counterattack would further stretch the already extensive front line. If any of the Holy Spirit-ranked ferocious beasts within were to find an opportunity and infiltrate the rear habitats, it might cause a massive disturbance not seen in the past twenty years.

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 answer was still rejected. The other party's reasoning was sufficient, and their consideration was 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 still rejected.

Having gotten used to it, he naturally didn't mind anymore.

Soon, as the ghost tide army at the front line dissipated and peace returned, the Ghost Saint had not decided on the next course of action. The other few left, returning to their respective armies to tally their gains and casualties.

Only Su Anyong, feeling extremely bored, and the Ghost Saint, Lord Leng, who was still playing with his phone, remained.

The latter lifted his head and glanced at Su Anyong:

"How's the situation with the Heavenly Tomb forces?"

Su Anyong dropped his usual seriousness and yawned:

"What else can I say? Those little ones don't need to fight. Among the current companion beasts, the main ones are still those regularly trained, and the Night Crow Scarecrow's abilities continue to be honed."

"Tsk, listening to your tone, you seem a bit impatient. But I also know that you should prepare yourself. I estimate their good days are coming to an end!"

Upon hearing this, Su Anyong abruptly raised his head. "What do you mean...?"

Lord Leng sighed:

"Today, Su Ping and Yin Luo returned to the Northern Province together. Accompanying them is a fellow named Lu Heng, who is said to be your security team manager. This guy called me earlier, saying he wanted to bring over those hundred or so Forest Wolves you've been training to test their combat power.

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

Su Anyong nodded. "This kid is no longer someone you can protect. News came earlier that Su Ping used his Dragon Seal to appoint the Mirror Sage, who had been in hiding from the Jianghai Dong family, as a special guest advisor to the Celestial Surveillance Bureau. This gives him the right to participate in and make decisions on many specific affairs of the Celestial Surveillance Bureau.

This matter has caused a huge stir throughout the Dragon Kingdom. You should know what this represents; many people are extremely dissatisfied, believing that these beastmaster clans are trying to restore their power. Su Ping's actions have rendered the battle more than twenty years ago meaningless.

At the same time, the Holy Dragon has silently approved of this matter, causing the hidden remnants of the clans to have some hope, wanting to regain some influence, at the very least, to be able to move freely again.

This work is organized by Liujiushuba.

So, at this moment, in the eyes of many, Su Ping's value and significance have shifted towards another realm!

At this time, only one obstacle remains—the matter of the Heavenly Tomb! Of course, not everyone is fully aware of the Heavenly Tomb's affairs.

However, the news conference in the middle of the year had a huge impact. Charles' appearance made everyone realize the situation was not as simple as it seemed.

Meanwhile, some people above are using this reason to attack Su Ping's situation and his audacious behavior. You should understand the current situation Su Ping is in.

The Holy Dragon probably didn't directly tell Su Ping about these matters, but there's no doubt that these people are watching him. They're watching to see if Su Ping can pass this test in the Heavenly Tomb—the impact of this is not just on Su Ping himself, nor just on your Su family. Do you understand?"

As Su Anyong listened to these rare words spoken with such gravity, he understood.

However, after a moment of thought, he raised his head:

"Second Uncle, what about you? What's your attitude towards Su Ping's command?"

Lord Leng smiled. "If it were some unknown upstart causing this, I'd definitely want to see what kind of extraordinary abilities this kid has. I'd also take a look at the Dong family's broken mirror, which doesn't even have its master. What audacity they have to interfere in the Celestial Surveillance Bureau's affairs at this time.

But you and that kid are our own family, so we'll naturally support you to the fullest! Besides, what use is it for them to grumble when the Holy Dragon has silently approved of this matter?"

Don't worry about Lord Wolf either. When the time comes, I'll personally speak to him and, if possible, bring that little rabbit to pay a visit in person. After all, they are descendants of the wolf pack.

As for the Legion, we hold the power of speech! Those people can only talk trash within the Association."

The man before them perfectly embodied the phrase 'helping relatives without reason'.

Su Anyong didn't say anything, but heaved a sigh.

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

Lord Leng's expression turned serious at these words.

"Anyong, his decision is not for others to interfere with. Just believe that the decision of that person is always correct."

Then, he relaxed and chuckled.

"Besides, what's so great about the Monarch Rank? Didn't you just reach the Emperor Rank a couple of months ago? You should go to the Association and register a more flamboyant royal nickname, so others will know how awesome an Emperor Rank Beastmaster is.

You're looking down on the Monarch Rank now. Su Ping is at the eighth step of the Monarch Rank. Do you know what that means? In theory, a Beastmaster at the eighth step of the Monarch Rank can have a Companion Beast that reaches the Emperor Rank, right?

With that boy's terrifying breeding methods, a slight boost in combat power, and he can fight across a major realm without any issues. So, this kid, a Monarch Rank Beastmaster, can rival a Holy Spirit Rank opponent!"

Su Anyong stared at Second Lord Leng in disbelief.

"No, you think it's like pulling a radish? And what about boosting combat power, how big is the gap between the Holy Spirit Rank and the Emperor Rank?

How big is the gap between the Emperor Rank and the Monarch Rank? Just because that kid can fight Overlord Rank opponents like it's a game doesn't mean he can do the same at the Monarch Rank!"

Lord Leng felt his words were a bit exaggerated, but he waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, you should also prepare quickly. Don't look at that kid like he's lost his father and has a miserable expression. Forget about him; I get annoyed just seeing him.

Anyway, entering the Celestial Tomb is a done deal, so don't be so sentimental. It's better to properly prepare and protect him than anything else.

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

Su Anyong was taken aback.

"Hmm? Lu Heng and Master Yin have already arrived? Where's Su Ping?"

"Your son didn't follow to the Legion's frontline camp; he's in Northern Chill City. It's said that he has some business with the Rong Family and might only return tomorrow morning or even after a couple of days.

That little brat doesn't know; as soon as he arrives, he'll go to the Rong Family without rest. It's estimated that the Association's old folks will confirm their speculations, and they're probably resentful now.

But talking about this now is useless; everything depends on that kid safely coming out of the Celestial Tomb."

As his voice fell, Lord Leng's voice disappeared.

At the same time, in the central area of Northern Province, on a small road in the suburbs of Northern Chill City, Su Ping shivered slightly, still not quite accustomed to the snowflakes that had started falling in this northernmost part of the Dragon Nation as early as October.

"Sister Long, have you been to Northern Province before?"

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

Su Ping opened his mouth, just about to ask why when his eyes lit up.

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

The leader, none other than his maternal grandfather, Rong Bao.

Not only that, but surrounding him were his cheap uncle Rong Xia, his gentle aunt Rong Qiu, his cousin Rong Mang, his cousin Rong Zhe, and even the little cousin Rong Chan with her round face.

Additionally, there were many members of the Rong Family's side branches, standing on the long street, braving the bone-chilling wind of Northern Province, waiting for Su Ping's arrival.

What surprised Su Ping even more was that as he looked at them, they also seemed to have noticed his presence.

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

It was none other than the Rong Family's Ancestor, Yan Zun.

Su Ping smiled; it seemed he had quite the influence.

But despite the smile, he didn't dare to be arrogant towards his maternal grandfather and the entire Rong Family, who were giving him face. He quickly responded.

"Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, it's been a long time!"
