Versatile Mage: Are you selling soul beasts in the Magic City?

Chapter 74: Sha Yuan appears and evacuates the people

After adjusting himself for a moment, Zhu Meng turned back into the impartial and just senator.

"I'm glad you're all here, but I have some sad news to tell you."

"A demon abyss appeared thirty kilometers to the north!"

Zhu Meng walked to the edge of the hall, pointed to the north with a serious look on his face.

"Shayuan!"

All the ancient capital wizards who knew about this suddenly changed their expressions. The Evil Abyss was the thing they least wanted to encounter. Once they were trapped in it, it would be more terrifying than death!
"How could something like this appear so close to the city? Is there any mistake?" a hunter mage said loudly.

"Oh my God, it's only thirty kilometers away. Are we really going to face undead cholera?" a middle-aged wizard exclaimed.

Whether they were mid-level mages or powerful high-level mages, all the people present had expressions of panic on their faces.

"So this gathering is to resist Sha Yuan?" Xu Beichen said, looking at the darkness outside.

"Fighting against the Sha Yuan? How is that possible? That's something that even the Forbidden Spell Mages can't deal with, so how can we possibly do that?"

An old hunter who was over forty years old retorted.

Zhu Meng first glanced at Xu Beichen, then said to the mages in a serious tone, "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to fight against Sha Yuan."

"Where Sha Yuan appears, there will be a very strong aura of death. I believe that it won't be long before many warrior-level undead and commander-level undead gather there."

"I hope everyone present here will stay on the city wall tonight. If those high-level undead show any intention of heading here, everyone must destroy them!"

"As long as it's not against Sha Yuan."

"Don't worry, Congressman, we people may not be able to compete with the huge evil abyss, but if there are monsters using the evil abyss to cause trouble, we will definitely eradicate them. This is the bounden duty of our mages!"

"That's okay with me, I'm willing to guard you all night!"

"Roar!!!!!"

At this moment, a deafening roar came from the dark sky, and everyone present felt the vibration.

"It's him again. It wants to take advantage of the death energy brought by Sha Yuan this time to gather more undead spirits and break through the northern wall in one fell swoop!"

Councillor Zhu Meng's expression changed and he said angrily.

"This is bad. This undead king already has his own undead army. Now with the help of Sha Yuan's death energy, its strength will be even more terrifying. We need to seek support."

said the staff officer on the side.

"It's too late." Military commander Lu Xu shook his head.

"If they breach the city wall, the consequences will be disastrous. It seems we have to implement the plan we made previously." Councillor Zhu Meng said decisively.

At this time, Xu Beichen came over and said seriously: "Old Zhu, the war is about to break out. I think we should evacuate ordinary people to Anjie first."

"You are just a young boy, you have no right to speak here!"

Seeing that Xu Beichen was so young, the staff officer frowned and scolded him.

Just as the staff officer was calling for people to capture Xu Beichen, Zhu Meng waved his hand to stop him.

"and many more."

"You know something, kid. If it was just this one Ghost Tyrant, there wouldn't be such a big fight."

Zhu Meng walked up to Xu Beichen, his tone noticeably softer, completely different from his previous majestic demeanor.

Zhu Meng was very clear about the importance of Xu Beichen. He was the key figure who helped Chief Pang Lai break through the forbidden spell. Even if he died, Xu Beichen could not die!
Of course, Zhu Meng wouldn't just believe Xu Beichen's one-sided statement. Relocating the outer city residents to the inner city was a major decision, and it could even affect the ancient capital's revenue for several days!
"I just want to say one thing, can the undead in the ancient capital only move at night?" Xu Beichen said.

"Boy, are you looking for trouble on purpose? It's common knowledge that the undead cannot move during the day!" the staff officer sneered.

"Did I ask you to speak?"

Zhu Meng glared at the staff officer fiercely. He didn't care what position the staff officer held, and ten staff officers were not as important as Xu Beichen!

"???"

The staff officer was stunned. Did Zhu Meng take the wrong medicine today?
They actually protect a young man so much. Could it be that this young man has some special identity?
Thinking of this, the staff officer immediately became obedient. He would not dare to offend someone whom Zhu Mengdu respected so much.

"You continue." Zhu Meng looked at Xu Beichen and said.

"The undead in the ancient capital cannot move during the day. I believe everyone here knows this, but I have encountered undead that appear during the day." Xu Beichen said seriously.

"Undead appearing during the day? How is that possible?!"

"Don't they say that as long as you appear during the day, the deathly aura of the undead will dissipate?"

There was an uproar, and all the mages looked half-believing and half-doubting when they heard this.

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Zhu Meng asked solemnly.

"You think I have to lie to you? What good will it do me?" Xu Beichen said lightly.

As long as he can save these one million people in the ancient capital, Xu Beichen will not have to worry about publicity costs in the future, and netizens will naturally promote him.

That’s right, a big part of the reason why Xu Beichen saved these people was to earn more points.

"If that's the case, then this really doesn't look like an ordinary undead siege."

Zhu Meng's expression also became much more serious. First, Sha Yuan approached the city, and then there were these undead who were not afraid of the daytime. It was hard not to connect them together.

"Councilor Zhu Meng, why don't we evacuate the people first? I have a feeling that this matter is not as simple as planned." Military Commander Lu Xu said.

"This"

Zhu Meng looked hesitant. There were many people living in the outer city, and moving them all was a major decision.

If he is not careful, he may be dismissed and investigated.

But compared with the lives of these millions of people, Zhu Meng didn't care much about his position.

If the outer city was inevitably captured and he did not choose to believe Xu Beichen's advice, then these one million people would have died at his hands.

"Xu Beichen, I trust you this time. If anything goes wrong, I'll have to rely on you for the rest of my life." Zhu Meng said jokingly.

If Xu Beichen could take care of him in his old age, it would actually be nice not to be a member of parliament.

"Haha~"

Xu Beichen rolled his eyes. If he could get a super-class mage like Zhu Meng for free, how many points would he lose?
What a beautiful thought!

"You go and arrange the evacuation of the people." Zhu Meng said to the palace guard.

"Yes." The palace guard immediately agreed.

"Now that we have taken care of the people, we must consider how to deal with this devilish tyrant."

Zhu Meng looked into the distance with a worried look on his face. Could it be that there was something more dangerous hidden in the dark?
