"Are you Ye Chen?" Qin An asked Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded.
Qin An led Ye Chen to the City Lord's Mansion. Under Qin An's guidance, Ye Chen entered a study room in the City Lord's Mansion.
"City Lord, Ye Chen has arrived," Qin An respectfully said to a middle-aged man sitting on a sandalwood chair.
The middle-aged man, around forty years old, exuded a sense of dignity and charisma.
"Name: Feng Zhan."
"Cultivation Talent: High-Level."
"Hidden Talents: High-Level Strength Talent."
"Realm: Two-Star Warlord."
Feng Zhan put down the document in his hand and looked at Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen, your name is quite well-known," Feng Zhan said with a smile.
Qin An had already retreated, leaving only Ye Chen and Feng Zhan in the study.
Feng Zhan, the City Lord of White Cloud Base City, was a Two-Star Warlord. Ye Chen wasn't particularly surprised by this information.
"City Lord, what can I do for you?" Ye Chen asked, puzzled about why the City Lord had summoned him.
Feng Zhan gestured for Ye Chen to sit down and sighed.
"Ye Chen, as you may know, while White Cloud Base City is one of the five medium-grade base cities in the Western Front, it is the weakest among them."
"The most powerful warrior in the base city is me, and I am only a Two-Star Warlord. Now, with the ferocious beasts in the B-rank disaster area in the northern city preparing to attack White Cloud Base City..."
Feng Zhan looked at Ye Chen and continued, "White Cloud Base City might not be able to withstand the attack."
"Ye Chen, can you help us with the forces behind you?" Feng Zhan finally revealed the reason for summoning Ye Chen.
At this moment, Ye Chen finally understood why the City Lord had called him.
"City Lord," Ye Chen hesitated for a few seconds, "my master has already left White Cloud Base City."
Ye Chen was Wind Cang's disciple, so naturally, Wind Cang was his master.
"Does that mean your backing forces can't help us?" Feng Zhan asked.
Ye Chen nodded, unsure of what to do.
City Lord Feng Zhan felt somewhat disheartened upon hearing this.
Suddenly, Qin An rushed in, his face filled with panic.
"City Lord, according to the news from the front, all the ferocious beasts in the northern city are mobilizing!"
What!!!
Feng Zhan quickly stood up from his chair. He had expected the ferocious beasts in the northern city to attack White Cloud Base City, but he didn't anticipate it happening so quickly.
Fortunately, the northern city was quite a distance from the outer city walls of White Cloud Base City.
"Immediately summon the heads of the various clans, military commanders, and the strong individuals within the base city to come see me."
"Yes!"
After Qin An received his orders, he quickly left the room.
Ferocious beasts!
There were so many ferocious beasts in the northern city. Did this mean that White Cloud Base City was really in danger?
White Cloud Base City falling was something Ye Chen did not want to see.
If White Cloud Base City fell, the four affiliated base cities would also be in danger. East Base City was where he originally came from, and it was like his first home.
The situation had become extremely urgent.
Before long, the powerful warriors from White Cloud Base City began to arrive.
Among them were Hu Gang, the dean of the Intermediate Cultivation Academy of White Cloud, and Gao Qishan, the Guild Leader of the Mercenary Alliance. Both of them were One-Star Warlords. There were also more than a dozen clan heads, most of whom were Ten-Star Grandmasters, with only two One-Star Warlords among them.
Surprisingly, City Lord Feng Zhan did not ask Ye Chen to leave, which was unexpected to Ye Chen.
"Everyone, I believe you are already aware of the situation," City Lord Feng Zhan said as he looked at the gathered individuals.
"City Lord, given the current situation, we have no choice but to fight!" Gao Qishan said to Feng Zhan.
