"Besides, how do you know it won't work if you haven't even tried? As long as we can take down the Beast King, this problem will be solved."

Li Bing sighed deeply and said:

"Actually, I had considered taking the initiative before, but when I thought about the monsters' amazing defense and attack power, I gave up in the end."

“This method won’t work. If we had a transcendent being on our side, we could definitely take the initiative to attack, but we don’t have that strength right now.”

Pangu turned his head and was very surprised to see Li Bing say such a thing.

In his eyes, Li Bing was a very courageous person, but he was so cowardly in this matter, which greatly disappointed Pangu.

“If you don’t even have the courage to try, then you’re already at a disadvantage. I think this time we can take the initiative.”

"To catch the thief, first catch the king. As long as we capture the beast king, the other monsters will collapse."

Li Bing nodded and said:
"Then this matter can only be handled by you strong individuals. We can only help you hold off the ordinary demonic beasts. What do you think, esteemed clan heads?"

Li Bing no longer wanted to be so cowardly, because he knew that cowardice could not bring lasting peace.

On the contrary, if you continue to be cowardly, others will only bully you more. It's better to fight to the death and catch them off guard.

Wang Li was quite surprised to hear that Li Bing actually had the idea of ​​taking the initiative.

Li Bing used to be very timid, but now, persuaded by Pangu, he is actually thinking of taking the initiative to attack the monsters.

"If we are to take the initiative, we need to know how much it will cost us. If we fail, we cannot afford the consequences."

Wang Li said to Li Bing.

Li Bing thought for a moment and said:

"The city walls can withstand at most two more beast tides. Once the walls are breached, we will have no one to rely on."

"It's better to fight to the death now. Maybe we can turn the tide and solve the problem once and for all."

Zhang Feng stepped forward and said to Li Bing:
"You need to understand, the Beast King's strength is terrifying. Even if we have five half-step Transcendent beings on our side, it would be difficult to fight against those two Beast Kings."

Upon hearing Zhang Feng's words, Li Bing immediately frowned. Indeed, even with five powerful individuals, it would be difficult to contend with two beast kings.

"So, in your opinion, what should we do?"

Li Bing asked slowly.

"We'll stick to the old method and rely on the city walls to defend against their attack. We'll repair the city walls after the beast tide has passed."

The head of the Zhao family addressed the crowd.

Wang Li and Zhang Feng also strongly agreed with the Zhao family head's method and nodded in agreement.

If they take the initiative to attack the Beast King, their strength will definitely be weakened, and the plan to overthrow the Li family will have to be postponed.

The only way to secure this opportunity is to change Li Bing's mindset.

Seeing that the three families below all agreed to the conservative approach, Li Bing looked at Pangu beside him and said:
"Neither of them wants to take the initiative to attack, feeling that the chances of winning are slim. What do you think?"

Pangu coldly looked at the three family heads below and said:

"You've only heard from your fathers that the Beast Kings are incredibly powerful. But have you ever actually fought any of them?"

"How do you know you definitely can't break through the Beast King's defenses? We'll only know if it works by trying."

After hearing Pangu's words, Li Bing was deeply shaken. He no longer knew how to resolve the matter.

Just then, Wang Li transmitted her voice to Patriarch Zhao and Zhang Feng:

"In that case, we can adjust the plan."

"How do we change the plan? Our top experts will all be there. What if they can't defeat the Beast King and perish?"

"This is what the Zhao family head said telepathically."

"Then tell me, what would happen if we led Pangu alone to the Beast King?"

"By then, Li Bing will have no one to rely on. Wouldn't it be an easy task for us to overthrow the Li family?"

Wang Li said to the two of them.

After hearing Wang Li's words, the two suddenly realized that they originally only wanted to deal with Pangu first before dealing with Li Bing.

They hadn't figured out how to lure Pangu away before, but now Pangu himself jumped out, giving them this opportunity.

The Zhao family head and Zhang Feng nodded to Wang Li.

“Since Pangu insists on taking the initiative to attack, then we will do as you say and take the initiative to attack this time.”

After hearing Wang Li's words, Pangu's expression gradually softened, and he said...

"We can't keep taking hits passively. If we continue like this, we will lose our fighting spirit, and our descendants will become cowardly when facing the beast tide."

Seeing that Wang Li and the other two had agreed to take the initiative to attack, Li Bing addressed the group.

"It seems you all agree to take the initiative now, so let's plan what to do next."

Pangu nodded to Li Bing.

"Then bring up all your strongest subordinates, and let's discuss what to do together."

Pangu addressed the three family heads.

After hearing Pangu's words, the three family heads nodded, and then four powerful cultivators appeared at the door.

……

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Bai Feng returned to the Dragon Tiger Gathering.

Bai Feng slowly walked onto the circular platform and addressed the ten cultivators who were practicing below.

"An hour has passed, and now we can begin the ranking competition. The higher the ranking, the greater the reward."

Ying Zheng and the others slowly opened their eyes and stood up.

After everyone heard Bai Feng's words, Lin Hai suddenly stepped forward and said to Bai Feng.

"Is the reward the same as before? Or has there been any change?"

The others nodded in agreement; Lin Hai's question was exactly what they wanted to know.

"The rewards for this year's Dragon and Tiger Tournament are even more generous than before, especially for the top three, but I won't tell you about them this time."

"Once this placement tournament is over, you will naturally know what you have received."

Everyone was somewhat disappointed after hearing Bai Feng's words, but the disappointment was short-lived.

The unknown is what makes things more desirable; if they don't strive for it, they'll never know what they'll get.

"In that case, all ten of you, please step onto the platform and begin this ranking competition."

Bai Feng addressed the ten cultivators below.

Ying Zheng and the others then arrived at the round platform.

After seeing Ying Zheng and the others ascend the circular platform, Bai Feng waved his hand, and ten chairs appeared at the edge of the platform.

However, the first three of these ten chairs look particularly ornate.

"First, you should sit down and rest in the order in which you won."

"After the placement matches are over, it will be determined who will sit in the position corresponding to their ranking."

After Bai Feng finished speaking, Ying Zheng and the others had another wooden plaque in their hands.

"The wooden tokens in your hands were randomly distributed by me. Those who draw the same number will fight here. Next, the person who draws token number one, please step forward."

"The rest of you can go back to your positions to cultivate and recuperate."

Ying Zheng looked at the wooden plaque in his hand; the number on it was two, which meant he would be the second to go into battle.

Ying Zheng's gaze swept over the others around him; he still didn't know who his opponent would be.

Ying Zheng and the others left the center of the circular platform and sat down on chairs at the edge. As soon as Ying Zheng sat down, he discovered that the flow of Dao energy in the chair was twice as fast as inside the Trial Tower.

He originally thought the chair was just an ordinary object, but he never expected it to be such a good thing for cultivation.

Ying Zheng's gaze immediately fell on the first three chairs. He was now sitting in the sixth chair, and it already had this effect.

It's easy to imagine how desirable those first three chairs must be.

Ying Zheng immediately turned his attention back to the battle and began to cultivate instead.

At this moment, only Bai Feng, Wang Nan, and Ouyang Ke remained in the center of the disc.

"Next, the two of you will compete, and the winner can sit in the seat that is ranked higher between the two of you."

Bai Feng spoke to Wang Nan and Ouyang Ke.

Wang Nan nodded to Bai Feng.

"Now that you two are ready, I declare the match open."

In fact, Wang Nan had always wanted to fight Ying Zheng because he felt that among this group of people, apart from Lin Hai, only Ying Zheng still had some strength.

However, he could practice on Ouyang Ke first to warm up his muscles.

"Just admit defeat already, I'm afraid you'll lose too badly later."

Wang Nan said to Ouyang Ke.

Upon hearing Wang Nan's words, Ouyang Ke immediately felt slighted.

"If you want me to admit defeat, then let's see if you have the ability."

After saying this, Ouyang Ke immediately moved and rushed towards Wang Nan.

Wang Nan smiled slightly at Ouyang Ke's defiant attitude and then engaged him in battle.

Mu Bai also sensed the mystery of the chair, but his attention was drawn to the battle between Wang Nan and Ouyang Ke.

He had intended to invite Ying Zheng to watch the battle, but upon discovering that Ying Zheng was already cultivating, he abandoned the idea.

The battle began quickly and ended quickly.

At this moment, Ouyang Ke was trampled under Wang Nan's feet.

"I asked you to admit defeat earlier to save you some face. Since you still want to fight me, then this is the only way."

Wang Nan stepped on Ouyang Ke's chest and said to him.

At this moment, Ouyang Ke felt extremely angry; he had never encountered such a situation before.

"You only defeated me when I was distracted. If we were to have a serious match, you would definitely not be my match."

Upon hearing this, Wang Nan sneered.

"If I can beat you once, I can beat you countless times. I will never fight a defeated opponent a second time."

After saying this, Wang Nan gently lifted her foot, intending to end Ouyang Ke's life right there.

Just as Wang Nan's foot was about to step on Ouyang Ke, a white light enveloped Ouyang Ke.

"This is just a friendly spar; there's no need to go all out."

It turned out that Bai Feng had intervened and rescued Ouyang Ke from Wang Nan's clutches.

After landing, Ouyang Ke bowed to Bai Feng and said...

"Thank you, Brother Bai, for saving my life."

Bai Feng waved to Ouyang Ke and said.

"It was my oversight; I forgot to tell you the rules of the competition."

"Wang Nan won this match. You will remain in your previous seat and await the final result."

Wang Nan nodded and then returned to her seat.

"Next, the person who draws the number two wooden plaque, please come up to the stage."

Bai Feng's voice rang in everyone's ears.

Ying Zheng slowly opened his eyes, and Mu Bai, who was beside him, said something.

"Go quickly, it's your turn to compete this time. You must beat him, I'll cheer you on."

Ying Zheng nodded to Mu Bai, then went to the center of the round platform.

At the same time, another body cultivator named Wang Hu arrived at the center of the circular platform.

Mu Bai thought Ying Zheng would encounter someone else, but unexpectedly he was up against Wang Hu, which made Mu Bai sweat for Ying Zheng.

"Remember, this is just a friendly spar. Don't go all out. Stop when you've made your move."

Bai Feng reminded Ying Zheng and Wang Hu.

Ying Zheng nodded to Bai Feng.

Immediately afterward, Bai Feng left the circular platform, handing the venue over to Ying Zheng and Wang Hu.

"I've watched your previous matches, and you're quite strong."

Wang Hu said to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng was somewhat surprised by what Wang Hu said.

"Your defense is also quite good. But now we'll see if your defense is stronger, or if my gun is faster."

Ying Zheng said to Wang Hu.

"To be honest, I've always looked forward to playing against you, and I never expected that we would actually face off against each other."

Wang Hu said slowly.

Ying Zheng smiled gently.

"In that case, let's get started without further ado."

Wang Hu nodded to Ying Zheng, and then attacked him.

Ying Zheng was very cautious when facing Wang Hu, because Wang Hu's defense was terrifying.

Wang Hu threw a punch directly at Ying Zheng, as if he had the power to uproot mountains and lift cauldrons.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng immediately took out the Wheel of Fate and activated the Breaking Dao Spear, thrusting it towards Wang Hu's fist.

Instantly, Wang Hu's fist collided with the Breaking Dao Spear, and the resulting shockwave sent the two of them flying.

After Ying Zheng regained his footing, he realized that Wang Hu's defense was indeed terrifying.

However, this is only somewhat terrifying; it hasn't reached the point where Ying Zheng has no way to deal with it.

After Wang Hu steadied himself, he wanted to continue charging towards Ying Zheng, but a spear shadow materialized in front of him.

Wang Hu directly punched the spear shadow, but just after Wang Hu shattered the spear shadow, several more spear shadows appeared in front of him.

What Ying Zheng needs to do now is to deplete Wang Hu's Dao power.

Looking at the shadows of spears in front of him, Wang Hu threw several more punches before finally shattering them all.

Just as Wang Hu began charging towards Ying Zheng again, several more gun shadows appeared in front of him.

Seeing this, Wang Hu was immediately annoyed. He had immense strength, but no way to use it, and he couldn't get close to Ying Zheng at all.

Ying Zheng moved swiftly, appearing behind Wang Hu and channeling the power of the Primordial Dao into the Breaking Dao Spear, thrusting it towards Wang Hu's back.

Wang Hu was shattering the spear shadows that Ying Zheng had previously conjured, but he couldn't find Ying Zheng's figure. (End of this chapter)
