I Stepped on a Bug, and the System Says I Slayed a Dragon? Chapter 328 - 327: Preparing to Deal with the Beast God

"Young Friend Qin, you’ve summoned us in such a hurry. What is the matter?"

Outside the door, Elder Li stroked his white beard.

He glanced around and saw the Chief Commander and Li Daoming were also present.

The three old guards of Jianghai City’s Innate Realm were gathered once more.

Such a solemn eting hadn’t been held since the last Beast Tide,

And more importantly,

this eting had been called by Qin Yang himself, which showed just how serious the situation was.

"Thank you all for coming."

"Please, co in and we’ll talk."

Qin Yang invited them all inside. His gaze swept over everyone’s faces, and once he confird they were all present, he flicked his hand, precisely sending teacups to each of them.

The fragrance of tea filled the air as the attendees took their seats.

Only then did Qin Yang slowly begin to speak.

"Sothing has co up suddenly today, and there are matters I need to discuss with you all."

He turned to Liu Wushuang beside him and said calmly, "It’s a bit complicated. Elder Wushuang, please explain it to everyone."

"Yes, Young Master."

Liu Wushuang nodded slightly, scratching the back of his head. He looked at the confused and uncomprehending Elder Li and the others, hesitating for a mont.

He wasn’t sure where to begin.

After a pause, he mulled it over for a mont, then turned to the Commander. "Commander," he began slowly, "there have been many Postnatal Realm Martial Artists who have gone missing in Jianghai City over the past few days, correct?"

"Yes, that’s correct."

The Commander nodded, opening his phone to check a mission briefing. "In the last two days, more than ten Postnatal Realm Star Martial Artists have disappeared in Jianghai City alone, and neighboring cities have reported similar situations... Elder Wushuang, do you have so insight into this?"

"What if I told you that those captured Star Martial Artists were actually for a blood sacrifice... would you believe ?" Liu Wushuang said in a low voice.

"What?"

The mont he finished speaking, the others in the room were stunned. "A blood sacrifice?"

"Yes. It’s a long story, so prepare yourselves."

Liu Wushuang gently cald everyone and said slowly, "What I am about to tell you are all secrets of the Venerable Alliance. It would be best not to spread this information and cause a panic."

A mont later.

He laid out everything about the Beast God.

As he spoke, he unraveled the truth of the world, layer by layer. The room fell into a dead silence.

You could hear a pin drop.

As they listened to Liu Wushuang’s tale, the expressions on the faces of Elder Li and the others changed several tis, shifting from shock at the Beast God’s identity, to doubt, and finally to uneasy terror.

A massive flood of information was shattering their worldview!

’Blood food... The Beast God... And the seal that’s about to break!’

After a long while.

Liu Wushuang finished his explanation and sat back down next to Qin Yang.

"To think such a thing exists..."

Elder Li murmured, his aged hand holding the teacup trembling uncontrollably.

"Yes, that’s the gist of it, Elder Li."

Qin Yang spoke in a heavy voice, "The situation is urgent. The Beast God could return at any mont. We must be fully prepared."

"Young Friend Qin, what do you have in mind?"

Elder Li stared intently at Qin Yang, his expression grim. "If there’s anything I can do to help, just give the word! I will do everything in my power!"

Qin Yang nodded upon hearing this. "Then I’ll have to trouble you for the next few days. Please find as many Innate Martial Artists as you can. After getting their consent, collect a drop of Essence Blood from each of them.

I need to forge Star Marks to further strengthen the power of the Star Array!"

"Alright, that won’t be a problem."

Elder Li nodded slightly. "After the appearance of the True Dragon Dharma Aspect last ti, many Postnatal Realm Martial Artists in Jianghai City have already reached the threshold. Their breakthrough to the Innate Realm is just around the corner.

When I go visit them, I will surely be able to bring you good news, Young Friend Qin!"

"Yes, I’ll be counting on you then."

Qin Yang nodded, his heart easing slightly.

Among all the Innate Grandmaster experts in Jianghai, Elder Li had the highest reputation. He would surely be able to complete this task.

’But it’s still not enough...’

Qin Yang murmured, turning to Li Daoming at the table. "Next, I’ll need to rely on your Li Family."

"Please, speak."

Li Daoming put down his teacup and also spoke respectfully, "Jianghai City is in peril. The Li Family is rooted here in Jianghai; we would never abandon it."

"Your promise is enough."

Qin Yang pondered for a mont after hearing this. "The Li Family is well-established in Jianghai City, and its network is still vast. You can gather so strategic resources for everyone, such as Star Artifacts, and Elixir and Array Materials. Stockpile so of everything. I’m planning to give the City Defense Array a massive upgrade."

"Okay, Master, don’t you worry!"

Before Li Daoming could speak, Li Qinghe, who was beside them, cut in, "I’ll supervise it myself and guarantee I’ll get it all for you."

"Okay."

Qin Yang said sincerely, then turned to the Chief Commander. "And Chief Commander, Li Shui Lake has been in turmoil these past few days. I’ll have to trouble you to send people to keep a close watch on the surrounding area and prevent anyone from getting close."

"You can rest assured on that."

The Chief Commander nodded in agreent. "As soon as I get back, I’ll dispatch special personnel to lock down the area around the lake and prevent any citizens from accidentally wandering in..."

"Commander, that’s not enough. You’ll need to put in so extra effort on this."

Liu Wushuang suddenly spoke up, his voice filled with worry. "It would be best if no one cos within a two-kiloter radius. If possible, arrange temporary shelters for the residents in the vicinity and have them evacuate for a few days. They can co back after the storm has passed."

The Blood Spirit Array is located inside Li Shui Lake, so a battle is inevitable. If the lives of the surrounding citizens are caught in the crossfire and their blood inadvertently flows into Li Shui Lake, it will certainly disrupt the already-unstable Array!

Liu Wushuang didn’t want to see any accidents.

"Is that so... I understand. Rest assured, Elder Wushuang."

The Chief Commander noted the key points. "I will arrange for personnel to handle it."

A short while later, after the eting continued for a bit longer, Qin Yang saw that all arrangents were made. He then had Elder Li and the others leave to begin their preparations.

Soon.

They all departed, leaving Fuhai District.

The living room returned to its quiet state once more.

Qin Yang sat cross-legged on the sofa, then entered the Enlightennt Space and began to work on advancing his Clone Technique.

Ti was short!

The Beast God could awaken at any mont.

He had to raise his strength to the next level in the ti he had left!

...

...

「Several days passed.」

「Within a mysterious, deep valley.」

RUMBLE!

Thousands of cries shook the air as dust and smoke billowed. Star Beasts gathered at the valley’s exit, as if waiting for the arrival of so unattainable existence.

These creatures, which should have been killing each other, were now kneeling at the mouth of the valley, waiting as if on a pilgrimage.

A mont later.

The earth split open, forming a massive fissure as heaven and earth trembled!

A ball of black mist then billowed out from the canyon.

It gradually transford into an ethereal humanoid figure. The thousands of Star Beasts bowed their heads in submission, honoring it as their master. A terrifying aura swept across the entire mountain forest.

"It has been hundreds of years..."

"I have finally seen the light of day again!"
