Phoenix Destroyer
75. The Beginning of the War

Away from the bustling city, a thunderous roar came from the forest interior. The wild beasts seemed to get their omens and wake up from their respective slumber.

They gathered one after another into a very large group and marched in one direction in the west.

Alarms in Border Town have been roaring since last night.

Many cultivators immediately jumped from their respective beds, and rushed into the city walls.

When the sunlight touched the surface of the ground, there were already many cultivators who crowded the field around the wall.

Several great power camps had been set up, forming a line of protection in front of the city walls. The various colors of the sect robes were also scattered among the crowd of cultivators.

Many people gathered together to form small groups to discuss about how to kill a savage beast with fewer shots. To save energy as much as possible.

A cultivator in the color of a green robe folded his hands together. "No idea when the tide of beasts this time will be over soon."

"This is only the tenth year, what are you thinking? Isn't it good to look for resources yourself?" The friend next to him chimed in.

"It's good, but if we accidentally lose our lives here, who's responsible?" The green-robed cultivator casually glanced over.

"This is the world of cultivation, the strong eat the weak. If we die, we're not strong enough."

Another young man snorted, "We died probably not because we weren't strong enough, but we weren't sneaky enough."

"Be careful when you talk."

The young man raised his hand.

Elsewhere, there was a pair of twin brothers arguing with each other.

"What do you do by dressing like this? You took my clothes?! "

"It's a bit of a hassle using a big skirt, after all I don't want anyone else to look at me with a lewd look!"

"Who would dare?! Tell me who is that guy?! I'll beat him up!"

"Are you very good? It was an unmotivated person."

The young man immediately frowned. "That guy is acting again? Then don't worry, as long as we follow Senior Zhu, he won't dare to touch you."

"What are you thinking? Many strong people were here, how could he do something like this so blatantly? Does he not want to have a face anymore?"

The young man disagreed. "Better be careful."

"As far as you."

Another cultivator looked at the sky with a bit of worry. "This year seems like more beasts than the previous years."

"Isn't this natural? Now is the big beast tide!"

"No, you don't understand."

"What are you muttering?"

The man shook his head.

Elsewhere, a group of cultivators were loosely talking about something else.

"Hey, who do you think will be first?"

"Isn't that sure? Yan Haoran will definitely be number one! He was the famous disciple of Sect Master Zhaoyang Jianmen, his sword skills were recognized by many."

"No, definitely the first Wang Zeming! The last time he had placed first, Yan Haoran was just below him." Another person wiggled his finger left to right.

"But the last time Yan Haoran killed a level 6 ferocious beast alone!"

"So what about that? Wang Zeming's ice spell could freeze a savage beast to death!"

"I bet that the number one this time is definitely Yan Haoran!"

"Don't be arrogant just yet, Wang Zeming is definitely number one!"

"Yan Haoran!"

"Wang Zeming!"

"Yan Haoran!"

"Wang Zeming!"

"Yan Haoran!"

"Wang Zeming!"

"Hey, instead of you fussing about number one, you have to worry about yourself. That guy's here, be careful you don't get anything."

The two people who were fighting instantly fell silent. Yes, the number one person who always likes to snatch the prey of others is here. They should be extra careful when hunting.

Feng Mo and Kong Li who had accidentally heard the two fighting became interested. They asked the person next to them about what was happening.

"Have you guys come here for the first time?"

"Yes." Yeah." Kong Li nodded generously.

The man looked at the two with understanding. "When we kill a savage beast, we will earn predetermined points, then people will record how many points we get from killing a savage beast.

There would be a jade screen placed next to the gate that could record the hundred names that contributed the most in killing the beasts. But perhaps what you are talking about is number one in the list of the hundred most powerful God Transforming Cultivators in the world."

"Then does the jade screen only display cultivators at the God Transforming stage? What about cultivators at another stage?"

"There are actually many, like the ones above God Transforming, even Mahayana cultivators have their lists as well. But what was always a common concern was the cultivators on the God Transforming list."

If the Foundation stage was the entrance of cultivation, then the God Transforming stage was the true threshold of cultivation. Anyone who had successfully broken through to the God Transforming stage had a greater chance of experiencing an ascension.

Especially if that cultivator had broken through to the God Transforming stage at such a young age, then his talent might have challenged the heavens.

"How does anyone know that we kill a beast?" Feng Mo asked the question he had been thinking about from the start.

"What if we lose this token?"

"You need not worry, tokens can only be activated by entering consciousness. If the consciousness of others wanted to enter, the token would be immediately destroyed!"

Both nodded their heads.

"Then this list isn't a little unfair to loose cultivators?" The disciples of those sects and the children of the family, were not they able to work together to raise the name of even one person.

"Quiet down! There is still a general list! How many ferocious beasts did you kill, how many numbers on the list did you get! Even if you defeat the Mahayana cultivator's points."

Then the Cultivator excitedly popularized some names that usually ranked in the list of God Transforming cultivators and the general list.

Each of the fifteen powers occupied many numbers on the list. And very few loose cultivators were able to make a name in the list of a hundred people.

"What if someone suddenly snatches your prey at the last second? Or you snatch each other's prey, who's gonna get this point?"

"It... " The cultivator hesitated a little.

"What's going on?" Kong Li asked.

The cultivator lowered his voice, "Actually this matter has long been the grievance of many people, but no one responded from King Ren's side. Because only loose cultivators were often the main targets of plunder. No one thought of becoming the enemy of those powers."

"But even you still can't let go of the vigilance against those big guys, as many of them are happily lying down by snatching prey from our little cultivators." Someone suddenly chimed in from the side.

The three of them raised their heads, looking at the person who had suddenly joined the conversation.

"Ou Senior!"

A somewhat dark-skinned Cultivator came from behind the man.

"You are the first to take part in this battle, the first thing you should pay attention to is... To not meet Zhao Jin's group. If you accidentally meet him, quickly turn around."

"From Baiyun's sect?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"What did he do so desperately need to turn the road?"

"During hunting he always carried his bodyguards who had cultivation at the Mahayana stage, he would allow those bodyguards to capture and restrain the ferocious beasts before he himself carried out a fatal attack on the prey."

Feng Mo raised his eyebrows. "Isn't that cheating?"

"Indeed, but who cares? King Ren would only see people who contributed a lot in the war and would not care too much in any way what others did. And the list of a hundred cultivators was just for popularity, only to encourage others to continue contributing in the war. In this world there are still many genius cultivators, it's just that some people underestimate how the name was made."

Feng Mo and Kong Li looked at each other. In this kind of chaos, there were still people stirring in the muddy water.

After saying thank you, the two rejected the cultivator's invitation to form a group and parted ways.

Kong Li tampered with the identity token. "We can still hide our identity. There is still an anonymous function in the token."

"However, the people from King Ren's side can still find out our identity after some investigation."

"That's better than finding our names on a hundred-man signboard."

Feng Mo thought that with his strength, perhaps sooner or later his name would appear on the list. Although it is only a list of God Transforming cultivators.

Suddenly there was the sound of a gong punch that echoed very strongly.

People raised their heads and looked up to look for the origin of the sound.

On top of the wall, Han Liwen was already standing.

"A hundred miles from the wall, an army of ferocious beasts has been detected. Today I will announce at the beginning of the war with wild beasts. This time whoever is in the hundred common list will get a lot of rewards."

"Wow!"

"Really?"

"Why is there a prize this time, why not years before?"

The crowd of cultivators below whispered to each other.

"Save each of your identity tokens. From today until the beast tide is over, we will place the jade screen and you can directly see the list of a hundred people. Today the war against wild beasts will begin!"

"Yes!"

"Come on!"

The crowd below was excited, the more ferocious beasts they killed, the more resources they got. If they are lucky, they will be on the general list.

"Go!"

With Han Liwen's voice down, hundreds of thousands of people flew into the forest like a tsunami wave.

Feng Mo and Kong Li looked at each other and mixed among the crowd of cultivators.

The crowd split up inside the forest, scattering in search of each other's prey.

Feng Mo and Kong Li chose one direction and flew straight ahead.

After several pairs of incense, the two saw a small army of level 4 ferocious beasts.

Kong Li took out his peacock feather fan, swung his hand and a wind suddenly appeared splitting the army in two. Then he took half the army for himself.

Feng Mo went to the other side and took out his sword, he swung the sword blade cutting the ferocious beast into two pieces. The body of the savage beast was cut into two very cleanly and neatly. Without dripping blood onto the sword blade.

The beast in sheep-like shape roared loudly and launched a counterattack at the two.

It took a while to clear this small army before the two continued on their way.

Along the way, sounds of fighting were heard everywhere.

The two did not interfere and sought other victims.
