The Way of The Dao

Lord of the City Mansion.

"Lord of the City!"

Long Hong, rushed into the studio where the City Lord, Long Cheng, was staying.

"What's going on? What's all the fuss about?" Long Cheng stopped what he was doing and turned to see Long Hong, who was currently agitated. Sweat was running down his forehead.

"We have received information about the guards outside the star city. There are movements that suggest a probable attack by demon beasts! This time... a great horde of demon beasts as it was years ago!" Long Hong shouted seriously.

"What!?" Long Cheng was stunned and stopped quickly when he heard the report.

Demon beast attack?

What does it mean?

It means that Star City will face another crisis as it did years ago.

Although they have received attacks from demon beasts, the demon hordes have been less than 100 demon beasts, and most are at about the Black level or below.

"Are you sure of the reports? Can't it be more likely that it's just a general horde of demon beasts? How many demon beasts are disturbed?" Long Cheng asked, wanting to know that it was just a horde like any other.

Long Hong immediately reported: "Although the intensity of this demon horde is probably higher than normal, it is definitely still in the range that we can take over!

There are at least 500 altered demon beasts in the vicinity of every star city. Their levels are at least in Heaven range, and although there are a few dozen in Great Heaven range and some in King rank, at least it wouldn't be as heavy as that time some years ago..."

Long Cheng nodded as he began to think.

500 demon beasts in the Heaven rank? Although it is a heavy thing, it is not as difficult as the previous time they had to face nearly 500 demon beasts, but in the King rank, a few dozen in the Emperor rank and one demon beast in the Legend rank, where they almost all lost their lives...

Long Cheng breathed a sigh as he understood the magnitude of the future situation.

The general demon beast hordes consisted of between fifty to two hundred demon beasts in the Black range or Heaven range per horde, and although they were almost always heading to attack the city, they were easily countered by the city guards, so the city was not too concerned. But now that, there were over 500 demonic beasts in Heaven rank, they would have to prepare, as it would be heavy on the numbers.

"How do the demon beasts behave? About how long do the watchers calculate for the horde to attack?" Long Cheng asked again.

The star city had a way of calculating the time the horde of demon beasts would arrive. This way, it was to observe the pattern in the demon beasts' behavior.

Usually, the demon beasts would start behaving strangely, roaring all day, gathering together, fighting each other and even eating each other. Once they spend some time like that, they would inevitably gather and form a large demonic horde, so that, in time, they would head towards the star city to attack it.

That same pattern had been shown by the demon beasts before they attacked, so they had more or less calculated how long it would be.

"Fortunately, there's still a little over a week left before the horde of demon beasts reaches the city..." Long Hong breathed a sigh of relief to know that they still had plenty of time.

Long Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief to hear that.

It seems they still have time to make their preparations for the arrival of the horde...

"Good. Thank you for the report, continue to investigate the behavior of the demon beasts. If there are any reports, let me know immediately! I'll see how I can alert the city about the arrival of a horde of demon beasts" Long Cheng issued an order.

"Understood." Long Hong nodded and left. He was to keep an eye out for any alterations in the patterns of the demon beasts, so that he would not take the star city by surprise.

The moment Long Hong had left, Patriarch Tang entered the studio.

"Brother Tang? What are you doing here?" Long Cheng was surprised to see Tang Wei come without warning.

"Lord of the City, there are two matters on which I come to inform you." Tang Wei waved and said the reason for his visit.

Long Cheng was slightly surprised to see happiness radiating from Tang Wei's face, so he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Tang, what's wrong? Why do I see that you're so happy today?"

Tang Wei sat down and started explaining about his wife's condition.

After Tang Wei had finished explaining about the situation that had occurred in his home, Long Cheng was perplexed.

"First of all, Brother Tang, I am very happy that your wife is feeling better, I hope Mrs. Tang Zhi will continue to live much longer." Long Cheng congratulated Tang Wei on his wife's recovery: "Have you questioned that Master Hon very well? To think that he would be behind something so sinister as to poison and murder your wife."

Tang Wei sighed: "Even because we tortured him he didn't say anything. So far we don't know who's behind it or why he would do such a thing..."

Long Cheng nodded and then asked, "The Grand Master Alchemist you mentioned, who was he? I heard that Grandmaster Gi was completely outdone by someone and has not left the alchemical association..."

"Lord of the City, that's another matter I wanted to inform you about!" Tang Wei showed a happy smile: "That Grand Master Alchemist turned out to be the Mr. Ling Tian we've been looking for! I have no doubt, my wife and daughter described the appearance of that master and he has the same characteristics that you had told us! Only with the difference that he has cut his long hair..."

Long Chen was now very confident.

He was in Star City!

But...

Where was he staying?

Long Cheng didn't leave Tang Wei waiting long: "Thanks for letting me know, Brother Tang. In fact, Brother Zhang had also come to see me and told me that a problem occurred in his Zhang family's training but that in the end, they were all saved by that same young man..."

Tang Wei was stunned to hear that. He had heard about the problem faced by the Zhang family, as rumors began to spread. But he never knew that it was really that mysterious young man who had helped them. How far has his strength really gone?

"From the circumstance you tell me, it seems that young man escaped quickly. The same thing happened to the Zhang family. It seems that young man doesn't want us to bother him. Brother Tang, I'll ask you to try not to send many people to look for his whereabouts, we don't want to bother him and make him go..." Long Cheng explained to him about his assumptions that he had had before with Patriarch Zhang.

Tang Wei nodded after understanding the delicate matter.

"But... not only has he attained Divine rank, but he is also a Great Master Alchemist? Who is he really?"

The voice of Long Chen sounded again, leaving them perplexed by the surprises that this mysterious and powerful young man had brought them.

A level of martial arts so great and a knowledge of alchemy so immense...

Is he a True God?
