The room fell silent as everyone stared in astonishment. Many people in the room, except for a few, didn't recognize Ye Chen.
"Who are you?" Chen Fa asked, looking at Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen," Ye Chen replied calmly.
Most of the people in the room had heard of Ye Chen's name.
"Ye Chen, does that senior you mentioned intend to take action?" Chen Fa asked again. The senior he referred to was Wind Cang.
Ye Chen shook his head, "I'll handle it myself."
What?
Everyone in the room was shocked.
The three girls stared at Ye Chen in disbelief. He would handle it himself? Feng Ling remembered seeing Ye Chen once on the outer city wall of Ancheng.
"In that case, Ye Chen, what's your cultivation level?" Chen Fa inquired.
"I'm a Two-Star Martial Master," Ye Chen answered truthfully.
The people in the room shook their heads, thinking that Ye Chen was being reckless. How could a Two-Star Martial Master stand up to a mid-level Beast Sovereign like the Golden Ape King?
Liu Qianqian and Shi Ling were surprised by how quickly Ye Chen had progressed in his cultivation. When he had left, he was still just a Star-level warrior, and now he was a Two-Star Martial Master.
However...
Shi Ling looked at Ye Chen and thought that he was being overly ambitious. A Two-Star Martial Master was like an ant in front of a Beast Sovereign.
"City Lord!" Captain Qin An rushed in. "The ferocious beasts are less than five li away from the outer city wall!"
In the room, some were filled with determination, while others showed fear.
"I've made up my mind," City Lord Feng Zhan said, looking at everyone. "We'll fight!"
...
White Cloud Base City, outer city wall.
Ye Chen and the three girls had come to the outer city wall. Originally, City Lord Feng Zhan had not wanted them to come, but they insisted.
The defenses on the outer city wall were extremely strong. At this moment, the wall was crowded with troops, each holding various weapons and many piles of huge stones.
When facing a large-scale attack by ferocious beasts, martial artists often found it difficult to utilize their full strength.
"Ye Chen, are you really going to fight the Golden Ape King?" Liu Qianqian looked at Ye Chen with concern.
A Two-Star Martial Master trying to take on a mid-level Beast Sovereign was considered absurd by everyone.
Ye Chen thought about the opportunity he had to use Super Divine Power, which could increase his strength a thousandfold. He believed that defeating a mid-level Beast Sovereign shouldn't be a problem.
If he didn't want White Cloud Base City to be destroyed, the lives of those people in the City Lord's Mansion would have nothing to do with him. People like Chen Fa, the head of the Chen family, and others.
"Some people just love to show off and claim they're from the Supreme God Temple," Shi Ling sneered at Ye Chen, mocking him.
Ever since Shi Ling misunderstood Ye Chen's preference for certain types of books, she had been giving him a hard time. However, Ye Chen didn't pay much attention to her.
"Ling'er," Feng Ling called Shi Ling. "Why would you say that? I think Ye Chen's courage is admirable."
"Ferocious beasts are here!" someone suddenly shouted.
Everyone turned to look, and a dense horde of ferocious beasts approached like a black cloud. The sight was chilling.
For many of them, it was their first time seeing so many ferocious beasts.
Among the ferocious beasts, a towering Golden Ape King caught everyone's eye. This Golden Ape King was the ruler of the northern city and a mid-level Beast Sovereign.
"Prepare!" a man in military attire shouted.
All the people on the outer city wall tightened their grips on their weapons.
When the dense horde of ferocious beasts entered the attack range, the man in military attire bellowed, "Fire!"
