Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

Ying Zheng then put the pill away.

"This pill doesn't seem to be as good as the ones you took out."

Mu Bai said to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng smiled and said.

"My pills were personally refined by my master, how could they be bad?"

Seeing Ying Zheng's smug look, Mu Bai smiled and said.

"It's really good to have a mentor. I'm so envious."

"If you want one, go find one. I believe that with your abilities, there will definitely be people vying to be your master."

Ying Zheng said to Mu Bai.

After saying this, Ying Zheng turned his gaze to the others in the arena and found that they were all sitting cross-legged on the ground, beginning to recover their strength.

"Let's focus on restoring our strength as soon as possible. We can talk about finding a master later."

After saying this, Ying Zheng sat down cross-legged, swallowed the pill, and began to recover his Dao power.

Mu Bai nodded and sat down cross-legged as well.

……

"How is the situation now?"

Li Bing had already arrived on the city wall and asked his subordinates.

"The large-scale beast tide has not yet arrived; only some scattered monsters have appeared."

The subordinate respectfully spoke to Li Bing.

Li Bing nodded, then looked at Pangu beside him.

"Why haven't their people arrived yet?"

Li Bing and the other families had agreed to meet on the city wall today. But Wang Li and the others still hadn't shown up.

"Did you all work together to resist the beast tide before?"

Pangu asked Li Bing.

Li Bing nodded and said.

"Of course. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to hold them off at all."

Pangu nodded after hearing Li Bing's words.

"They're probably on their way now. Let's wait a bit longer. The beast tide hasn't arrived yet, so it won't make a difference if we wait a little longer."

Li Bing sighed and said.

"That's all we can do now."

"But speaking of which, they usually arrive here much earlier, so why am I so late today?"

Pangu shook his head and said.

"I wouldn't know that. After this beast tide is over, I'll also be going out to look for my friends; so much time has already passed."

Li Bing nodded and said.

"After this is over, I'll go with you. Let me see what this person with such great talent you mentioned is really like."

Li Bing knew that Pangu had mentioned Ying Zheng to him many times before, praising his talent highly.

Just then, Wang Li and Li Feng arrived at Li Bing's side with some other people.

"Are we not too late?"

Wang Li said to Li Bing.

Li Bing shook his head.

"It's not too late yet. The beast tide hasn't fully erupted yet. Let's go over and discuss how to defend against it."

After saying this, Li Bing led Wang Li and Zhang Feng directly into a tent.

"Did you all bring everyone today?"

Li Bing sat in the main seat of the tent and spoke to them.

Wang Li nodded and said.

"Zhang Feng and I brought four half-step Transcendent beings with us. We should be able to handle this beast tide."

After listening to Wang Li's words, Li Bing shook his head.

"These people are far from enough. Why are there only two of you here? Where is Patriarch Zhao?"

After hearing Li Bing's words, Wang Li thought for a moment and then replied.

"He's probably been held up by something. He'll be here in a bit."

Li Bing nodded.

"What are your plans this time? How should we deal with this beast tide?"

Li Bing looked at Wang Li and Zhang Feng sitting in the chairs and said.

"What can we do? We'll deal with whatever comes our way. We'll just do what we did before when dealing with the beast tide."

Wang Li said to Li Bing.

Li Bing thought for a moment and then said to Wang Li.

"This time it might not be so simple. From what I've observed, the city walls may be nearing their breaking point."

Wang Li was shocked to hear Li Bing's words.

"Aren't the city walls very sturdy? Why would you say that?"

Li Bing sighed deeply and said.

“I’ve observed the defensive capabilities of this city wall before, and it’s not as strong as it used to be. We’ll have to repair it after this.”

"Otherwise, when the next beast tide comes, they will definitely cross the city walls and rush into Li Family Village."

Zhang Feng nodded and said.

"We can only talk about that after we've dealt with this beast tide. We simply don't have time to repair it right now."

Li Bing nodded and said.

“That’s true. But did you bring any formation masters with you? We can set up some formations outside the city walls.”

Wang Li clapped her hands, and then four people dressed in black robes with their faces covered walked in from outside the tent.

"These four are formation masters that Zhang Feng and I brought. They can help us set up formations outside the city walls. With these formations, we can withstand the attack of the monsters."

Li Bing looked at the four men in black standing in front of him and nodded.

"In that case, let's go and set it up now. I'm worried we won't have enough time."

Wang Li looked at Li Bing with a puzzled expression and said:

"Shouldn't we wait for Patriarch Zhao to arrive? He has several people under his command who are extremely skilled in formations."

Li Bing sighed and said:
"We don't know when he'll arrive yet. Let's go and prepare. He'll come looking for us when he gets here."

Wang Li nodded and said:
"That works too. Now that we've decided, let's set off."

After listening to Wang Li's words, Li Bing led Wang Li, Zhang Feng, Pan Gu, and the four men in black to the outside of the city wall.

"It's up to you four now. We'll be there to protect your safety."

Li Bing spoke to the four men in black.

The man in black nodded and then began to make arrangements.

"Did you bring any troops with you? I brought 100,000 men this time."

Seeing that the men in black had begun to set up their formation, Li Bing turned to Wang Li and Zhang Feng and asked.

Wang Li nodded, then looked at Zhang Feng beside her and said:
"I only brought 50,000 men this time, but these are all elite troops. Patriarch Zhang, how many men did you bring?"

Li Bing was somewhat dissatisfied when he heard that Wang Li had only brought 50,000 men. "I also only brought 50,000 men this time. However, these men are all well-trained and have undergone long-term drills, making them quite strong."

"Moreover, they can now use combined attack formations, which will have unexpected effects."

When Pangu heard that Wang Li and Zhang Feng had only brought 100,000 people in total, he had a vague sense of unease.

"Isn't it a bit too few for each of your two families to bring 50,000 people? According to custom, each of our four families brings 100,000 people."

In the past, the four major families of Lijiazhuang each brought 100,000 people to deal with the beast tide, but even so, they could only barely hold off the monsters' attack.

Now, including the people Li Bing brought, the total is only 200,000.

Wang Li shook her head and said:
"Although we don't have as many people as before, these people are much better in terms of both quality and combat strength than the previous 100,000."

After hearing Wang Li's words, Li Bing nodded helplessly.

"As long as you brought people with you, it's better than nothing."

Wang Li nodded.

Just then, six people flew down from above the city wall.

"Looks like I'm not too late."

The voice of the Zhao family head rang in the ears of Li Bing and the others.

Li Bing, seeing the late arrival of the Zhao family head, said with displeasure:
"You arrived so late to deal with such a huge event as dealing with the beast tide. What are you up to?"

The Zhao family head looked quite helpless after hearing Li Bing's words.

"I'm just a little late, it won't affect our response to the beast tide. Besides, the beast tide hasn't arrived yet, has it?"

Seeing the Zhao family head's tough attitude, Li Bing became somewhat annoyed.

"How dare you speak to me like that? With a formidable enemy at hand, do you still want to fight me?"

Looking at the furious Li Bing, the Zhao family head shook his head and said:

"No, no, you're overcomplicating things. The five people behind me are all formation masters; they can help us set up formations."

After Zhao finished speaking, he nodded to the five people behind him.

The five people then dispersed and set up formations outside the city walls.

How many people did you bring this time?

Li Bing asked the head of the Zhao family.

"I brought 100,000 people this time, the same as before."

Li Bing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what the Zhao family head said and said:
"It's good that we brought 100,000 people; otherwise, we might not be able to cope with this crisis."

The Zhao family head nodded.

How many people did you two bring?

The Zhao family head asked Wang Li and Zhang Feng telepathically.

"The two of us now have a total of 100,000 men. Our goal is to wear down Li Bing's strength, but it seems we've already incurred his displeasure."

Wang Li said to the head of the Zhao family.

After hearing Wang Li's words, the Zhao family head sneered and said:
"So what if he's unhappy? He wouldn't dare to turn against us now, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stop us by himself."

Wang Li and Zhang Feng nodded.

"We must proceed according to plan and weaken his strength. Only then will we have a chance to bring him down."

The Zhao family head nodded.

"I have the plan memorized, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Seeing the three people in front of him remain silent, Li Bing said to them:

"Are the three of you plotting something behind my back?"

Li Bing knew that he was currently only an enlightened being, and apart from Pangu, there was not a single person in the Li family who had taken a half-step to transcendence.

But Pangu will leave sooner or later, so Li Bing is very worried that Wang Li and the others will take action against him.

Upon hearing Li Bing's words, Wang Li quickly replied:
"The three of us didn't do anything. I was just thinking about how to deal with the beast tide. You're not suspecting us, are you?"

Li Bing quickly shook his head and said:
"How could that be? I was just casually asking what you were doing."

Li Bing felt that he had been outmaneuvered. But as long as the three of them didn't have any ulterior motives, that was fine.

Before long, with the combined efforts of the nine array masters, the array was completed.

Upon seeing this, Li Bing said to everyone:

"Now that the formation is set up, let's head back."

Wang Li nodded and said:
"Let's go back. Now we just have to wait for the beast tide to arrive."

After saying that, Li Bing led the rest of the group back into the tent.

Shortly after Li Bing and the others returned, a guard rushed into the tent and said to them:
"Greetings, esteemed clan heads. A large wave of demonic beasts is surging towards us from the east of Li Family Village. What should we do now?"

Upon hearing the guard's words, Li Bing immediately became restless.

"Take 100,000 men to guard the east first, and we will follow shortly."

The guard nodded and then left the tent.

Li Bing slumped into his chair. He hadn't expected the beast tide to arrive so quickly.

"Don't worry. Although we didn't bring many people this time, it's enough to deal with this beast tide."

Wang Li looked at Li Bing, who had a worried expression, and said...

Li Bing sighed and said:
"I'm worried about the exact size of this beast tide. If it's small-scale, that's fine, but what if..."

Li Bing didn't continue, because he felt there was no need to say anything more.

"What are the strengths of the beast kings who lead the demonic beasts? Do we have the ability to fight them?"

Pangu stepped forward and asked Li Bing a question.

Seeing Pangu speak, a glint flashed in Li Bing's eyes, and he said:

"Those beast kings are also at the half-step transcendent realm, but their defense is extremely terrifying."

"You need to understand that when demon beasts and humans are at the same level, demon beasts are usually much stronger than humans. That's why we always seem to be in a very passive position."

Pangu nodded, then looked at Wang Li and the others standing below and said:

"How many powerful individuals did you bring? Where are they?"

After hearing Pangu's words, Wang Li, Zhang Feng, and the others looked at each other and said:

“Our families can provide a total of four powerful individuals, which is all we have. But even with you, there are only five of us.”

As soon as Wang Li finished speaking, Zhang Feng continued:
"Moreover, there is more than one Beast King. Each beast tide is led by two powerful monsters that attack us."

Li Bing nodded at this moment and said to Pangu:

“I know what you’re trying to do, but that’s probably not realistic. Our strength is only enough to barely cope; we can’t take any risks.”

After listening to everyone's words, Pangu said in a somewhat cold tone:
"Do you just want to keep taking hits? You don't even have a shred of guts. I doubt you even have the courage to try."

As soon as Pangu finished speaking, Li Bing and the others lowered their heads.

Since their grandfather's generation, the Li family has never actively sought out monsters, because they felt they were no match for them.

By Li Bing's generation, this mindset remained deeply ingrained, and they could only passively endure the attacks of the monsters.

"Do you think we don't want to take the initiative? But the defenses of those monsters are just too terrifying; it's very difficult for us to break through them."

The head of the Zhao family stood up to refute Pangu.

He thought to himself, "He's just a half-step Transcendent, yet he dares to ride roughshod over us and boss us around." This further solidified his resolve to overthrow the Li family.

"This is your first time participating in a battle like this. You have no experience with it at all, which is why you seem so ignorant."

Zhang Feng also said to Pangu.

Upon hearing these words, Pangu immediately sneered and said:
"Even though this is my first time participating, you don't even have the courage to take the initiative, which is precisely why you are always on the defensive." (End of Chapter)
