High Martial Arts: A Cataclysmic Beast? I am the only Beast Tamer!

Inside the council hall of the city lord's mansion.

As the two cold words from the Li family head fell...

Shen Shenzhi nodded.

This moment.

The lives of millions of people in Los Angeles seem to have been sealed in this way.

And such a scene.

This has happened far too many times in the past few decades.

The only difference is.

The three major families did not save the cities that had been destroyed, solely for their own interests and to win over and recruit the surviving strong individuals.

The three major families in Luocheng did not offer assistance because they truly harbored resentment towards Lu Yu!

"The temple's hint says..."

"The abyss riot in Los Angeles not only involves king-level and venerable-level behemoths, but also a suspected saint-level behemoth."

What are your thoughts on this?

Shen Shenzhi pondered for a moment before speaking again.

The words fell.

Shen Tu Wu slammed his fist on the table again.

"A Saint-level behemoth?"

"Isn't that even better, damn it!"

"To be honest, with Lu Yu's unorthodox methods, I'm genuinely worried that he can handle even a King-level or Venerable-level behemoth!"

"But Saint-level behemoths are different!"

"If he were to appear in the world, let alone a mere Lu Yu, even the emergence of a Saintly Ancestor would be difficult to stop him!"

Furthermore—

"With a Saint-level behemoth appearing, we have a reason not to save it!"

"Even if that Martial God blames us then, we'll have an explanation. After all, a Saint-level behemoth is not something our three families can handle!"

Shen Tu Wu muttered curses.

However, despite his seemingly reckless and rough appearance, he was actually quite meticulous and thoughtful.

"only……"

"If a Saint-level behemoth were to emerge from the abyss, would it pose a threat to Jinling?"

"After all, none of our family's three ancestors are in the city."

At this time.

After a long silence, Li Ruoxi suddenly spoke.

This statement came out.

Neither Shen Shenzhi nor Shen Tuwu spoke.

Clearly, they had all taken this into account.

"I think..."

"The recent abyss disturbance near Los Angeles is very strange."

"Whenever a Saint-level behemoth appears in the world, there's always a reason—either for a secret treasure of heaven and earth, or for some special resource..."

"Los Angeles, could there be something there that attracts Saint-level behemoths?"

Shen Shenzhi frowned and pondered for a while before speaking softly.

The words fell.

The other two remained silent.

For a moment, the atmosphere fell into silence and quiet.

A good while passed.

bang——

Suddenly.

Shen Tu Wu suddenly stood up and slammed his hand on the table.

His face was full of a smug and delighted smile!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"I understand, I understand!"

"Bring your men up here!"

Under the curious and puzzled gazes of the other two family heads.

Not long after.

A one-legged, wounded, and extremely weak King-level expert was brought into the council hall by several guards from the Shentu family.

Snapped--

Despite being one-legged, he immediately knelt on one knee and kowtowed several times upon seeing the three family heads.

"Greetings, three patriarchs!"

"I am Lin Qicheng, the city lord of Luocheng. I have important information to report regarding Lu Yu and Luocheng!"

……

……

the other side.

Also within the city of Jinling.

The magnificent Shen family estate.

Inside a sword tomb.

Shen Tianzong listened to the servant's report.

The smile on his face was radiant.

"Hahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Lu Yu, oh Lu Yu..."

"So what if you're strong? So what if you're a prodigy?"

"With this crisis in Luo City, a Saint-level behemoth—if our three great families don't intervene, how will you cope? How will you survive?"

Shen Tianzong laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

him at the moment.

The gloomy mood that had been caused by Lu Yu was finally swept away.

"A dead genius is not a true genius!"

"This generation..."

"In the end, I am the one who reigns supreme!"

……

……

Jinling City.

The Li family's territory.

Inside a boudoir filled with a faint fragrance.

click-

Li Wan'er, dressed in battle armor with a long sword at her waist, had just pushed open the door.

In front of her.

Two female king-level guards stepped forward, blocking her path.

"Please forgive me, Miss."

"The patriarch has ordered that you are not to leave the clan's territory, not even a step!"

Li Wan'er's beautiful eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she gave a soft shout:

"Get out of the way!"

bang——

The two king-level guards knelt down on one knee.

but……

They still stood in front of Li Wan'er.

"Please forgive me, Miss, this is the master's order!"

Li Wan'er bit her lip tightly.

She spoke almost word by word:

"Los Angeles is in trouble!"

"Millions are about to fall into the jaws of beasts!"

"What kind of three great families would we be if we just stood by and watched someone die!"

Her angry shouts echoed within the courtyard.

but……

Her response was still only the King-level guard's "Please forgive me, Miss."

bang——

The door to the boudoir was slammed shut.

Li Wan'er retreated back into the room.

And in the corner of the room.

A maidservant, looking quite dejected, cautiously approached Li Wan'er and softly offered her words of comfort:

"Miss."

"Even if you went, you wouldn't be able to help with the crisis in Los Angeles..."

talking.

The maid glanced discreetly at Li Wan'er's reaction, and seeing that she wasn't angry, she continued in a low voice:

"and……"

"The news of the supreme battle during the day has spread throughout the entire city of Jinling."

"Everyone knows that Lu Yu and the three major families have completely broken off relations, so why would he send people to support Luo City at this time?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ruoxi's pretty face remained tense, and she did not speak.

Of course she understands the reasoning.

only……

She still couldn't accept it.

Just because they have a grudge against Lu Yu, are they willing to sacrifice the lives of millions of people in Luocheng?

Li Ruoxi had previously been focused on cultivation and had never concerned herself with family affairs.

She was also unaware that this had been the way the three families had operated for decades...

"Xiao Qing".

There was a long silence.

Li Wan'er suddenly called out.

"Miss, Xiaoqing is here!"

The maidservant beside him quickly responded.

Li Wan'er, on the other hand, looked out the window, her eyes reflecting the endless dark wilderness outside Jinling City.

"If one day..."

"Jinling City has also suffered the same calamity as Luoyang today. What should be done?"

The maid, called Xiaoqing, was taken aback upon hearing this, then quickly shook her head and said:

"How could that be?"

"With our three great families and the Holy Ancestor overseeing Jinling City, we can handle even the greatest calamities!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wan'er stopped speaking.

She simply gazed silently at the endless darkness outside the window.

Can we handle even the greatest calamities?

But if...

Saint-level behemoths, what about demigod-level behemoths?

If one day, Jinling City also encounters an irresistible calamity.

Given the current practices of the three major families in Jinling City, will the even stronger Shanghai and Beijing abandon the entire Jinling City, just as Jinling abandoned Luocheng?

"well…--"

"I hope that day never comes, as you said..."

Li Wan'er lowered her head, looked at the long sword at her waist, and sighed softly.

And what she didn't know was.

The moment she uttered this remark.

Not far to the east of Jinling City.

The aura of the largest super-large abyss in the entire Jiang Province is subtly changing.

hum-

buzz-

It seems that something extremely terrifying is about to awaken on the other side of the abyss...

"The second and third sons are incompetent—"

"To think that His Majesty has been alarmed—"

"Otherwise, why would I have needed to be born so early..."

In the dark.

In that vast abyss.

A low, demonic whisper rang out.

But strangely enough...

The area surrounding this abyss is guarded by dozens of king-level powerhouses, and even a venerable-level powerhouse.

But no one could hear this murmur.

From their perspective, this enormous abyss, just like it had been for the past few decades, was as calm as could be, as safe as could be...
