Chapter 59: Conspiracy
Hearing this roar from the Terran warriors, Duan Yun knew that reinforcements must have come. At this juncture, who would take the initiative to help, but he couldn't guess it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our reinforcements are here. When it comes to spirit, let's kill it today. Duan Yun shouted.
When the soldiers who were fighting heard this, they all swallowed the pill in their mouths and desperately killed the demon beast.
I have to say that this reinforcement came in time. If you come a little late, once the day dawns and the demon beasts regain their strength, everyone will fall into a bitter battle, and in that case, it will inevitably bring great sacrifices.
Under the front and back attacks, the demon beasts were crushed. Especially the reinforcements that came, there was no weak, and they singled out high-level demon beasts to attack, and soon, the demon beasts that had lost their leaders began to scatter and flee.
The sky finally dawned, and as far as the eye could see, there were corpses of demon beasts everywhere. The battle is almost coming to an end, and most of the battles are over, except for a few places where fighting is still going on.
Dozens of old men in black robes came to reinforce them, and seeing that the overall situation had been decided, they simply didn't make a move.
"On behalf of the Holy Heaven Academy, I would like to thank all of you. Duan Yun stepped forward and saluted the old man with a fist.
"Hehe, you're welcome, we're just being trusted. Taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others is a matter of course. What's more, the demon beasts poison the creatures, and we old bones naturally can't stand idly by. The old man at the head stroked his beard and smiled.
"Please forgive the juniors for being rude, and dare to ask, who are the seniors entrusted with? If the deans come back, we can also give an explanation. "Others have helped so much, and they won't be out of nowhere, so Duan Yun decided to ask for clarification.
"What is this...... "The old man muttered, and he didn't know whether to tell his employer or not.
"Giggles, Duan Yun, my sister came all the way from Frost City, aren't you willing to let people go to sit at home?" Just as the old man was hesitating, a charming voice came from a distance.
I saw a beautiful girl in a white dress leaning against a big tree, sipping melon seeds and saying. The wind blew the hem of her skirt, like a fairy descending from the earth.
Listening to this soul-seductive sound, the bones of the students present were about to be soft. One by one, the necks stretched out, and some even unconsciously "cooed" and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Some students who were more familiar with Duan Yun not only sighed, why did they deal with Duan Yun with such beautiful girls?
"Cough" Duan Yun coughed dryly, "Sister Ling Shuang, can you not be so amazing when you appear next time...... If you had raised your voice like this during the battle just now, I don't know how many people would have died in the mouths of demon beasts......"
"Hmph, even if you kid has some conscience, you still remember my sister. But are you going to just let us stand in this pile of corpses and talk?" Ling Shuang stretched and said.
"This place is indeed not a place to talk, and I also ask you seniors to move to the north area of the Holy Heaven Academy to rest for a while. Duan Yun touched his nose in embarrassment and said to the dozens of old men.
"Now that the Lord has appeared, and we have completed our mission, we will no longer bother. With that, the old man at the head waved his hand and walked away with the old men behind him.
"These old foxes are still interesting, let's go. Ling Shuang said, Jade grabbed Duan Yun's arm and walked towards the Holy Heaven Academy.
Duan Yun's face suddenly turned red, feeling the spicy gaze of everyone present, he was a little uncomfortable.
Finally arrived at the North District compound. Duan Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Yue and the others had already received the news that the demon beast had retreated, so the entire northern district was lit up to welcome Duan Yun's return.
Since returning from the secret realm, Duan Yun had returned to the North District for the first time, and the scene in front of him surprised him. Before he left, it was a depressed place, and in just 100 days, it had undergone earth-shaking changes.
There are many more buildings in the compound, such as meeting halls, reception halls, warehouses, etc. Zhang Yue is really a talent in this aspect, and Duan Yun also nodded secretly.
Seeing Duan Yun coming back, the North District suddenly became noisy.
"Boss, this is the new sister-in-law, it's so beautiful. I won't introduce it to you?" Seeing Ling Shuang holding Duan Yun's arm, Ning Tao came up and said.
"Introduce your sister, where are you going to stay where you are cool! Tell them, I have something to talk about, don't bother for now. Duan Yunhu blushed and said angrily.
Ning Tao put on a look that I understood, and walked away.
"Please also ask Sister Ling Shuang not to be surprised, they are used to it. Duan Yun hurriedly explained.
"Giggles, it's too late for people to be happy!" Seeing Duan Yun's embarrassed appearance, Ling Shuang's smile trembled.
Encountering this goblin, Duan Yun can be regarded as having completely met his nemesis.
Entering the chamber, the two sat down.
"Sister Lingshuang, thanks to you this time. However, how do you explain to the above that the employment fee of those old men is not a small amount. Duan Yun opened the conversation.
"Don't be sentimental, my sister isn't doing this entirely for you. The Alchemy Branch of the Shengtian Academy is a major source of the elixir of our Chamber of Commerce, and if the Shengtian Academy is gone, the loss of the Chamber of Commerce will be great. Which is more important is naturally clearly distinguished. Ling Shuang said disapprerovingly.
"Well, I thought there were a few old guys from the academy here, and I didn't have to be nosy. But later, according to the information sent in, I speculated that the old guys should not be there, otherwise this beast tide would not have posed a threat at all. So in a hurry, the reinforcements came late, but fortunately, the losses were not too great. ”
After listening to Ling Shuang's words, Duan Yun roughly understood what was going on.
After hesitating for a moment, Ling Shuang continued, "Duan Yun, I don't know how much you know about the Beast Tide. But as far as I know, the beast tides that have erupted on this Heaven-Breaking Continent are by no means accidental, but have been manipulated by people behind the scenes. Have you ever heard of the Imperial Beast Gate?"
"Imperial Beast Gate?" Duan Yun was puzzled.
"Yes, this sect is known for enslaving demon beasts, and they use secret methods to collect demon beasts for their own use, and these demon beasts can be summoned to surround and beat the enemy in battle, so ordinary martial artists are reluctant to provoke them. However, this is not the most terrifying thing about this sect, the most terrifying thing about them is that they rely on these high-level demon beasts to cause a beast tide to achieve their own goals. It is precisely because this practice hurts the peace of heaven that a group of righteous people rose up to attack it decades ago, and after paying huge sacrifices, this sect finally collapsed. But it's hard to do anything without leakage, and after all, there are still some remnants that have slipped through the net. ”
"You mean that this beast tide is likely to be the work of these remnants?" Duan Yun suddenly understood the meaning of Ling Shuang's words.
"Well, not only that, but without thieves, you can't attract wolves. These remnants have no grudges against the Ascension Academy, but this time they did not hesitate to risk being exposed, is it normal?" Ling Shuang nodded and said.
"I know, there must be a thief who faked the news to deceive a few deans out, and then those remnants of the Royal Beast Gate launched a beast tide. In this way, you can sit back and enjoy the ...... without having to do it yourself. Originally, I suspected that all this was too much of a coincidence, but I didn't expect that this was the case, it was really a vicious conspiracy!" Duan Yun suddenly realized after sorting out all the information.
"That's how it should be. If what I expected is correct, those old guys in your academy shouldn't be in any big danger, and with their strength, once they wake up, it won't be difficult to get out. The key is that if you don't find the thief, your academy will never be at peace. And our chamber of commerce will also be affected by this. So that's the biggest purpose of my trip. Taking a sip of tea, Ling Shuang said leisurely.
