Chapter 3: Ximen Chun’s Psychological Shadow

"Report..." The voice of a spy came into the ears of Lin Xu and others from afar.

"Is there any news?" The short fat man narrowed his eyes slightly on the chair on the first seat.

"Yes, there are fifteen people in total, eleven men and four women, and now they live in Qingfeng Tower..." The spy was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Qingfenglou? The consumption in that place is not low. You need a medium-grade divine crystal in one night. Are they really a good deal?" The fat man frowned and looked at the spy for a while, "And?"

"They just ascended from the heavens."

"?" The fat man was stunned when he heard this. It was not only him, but even Lin Xu and Ximen Chun were stunned.

"Are you sure?" Ximen Chun asked immediately.

"It is true that they ascended from the Ascension Pool in Qingfeng Town early this morning. The two soldiers guarding the Ascension Pool were led into the city. They clearly remembered the appearance of the fifteen people."

"This is possible? The guy who just ascended has at least the strength of the main god level." Ximen Chun looked afraid and asked his cultivation to be at the peak of the god level, and ordinary minions could deal with it.

Even Lin Xu was in deep thought. Although he could not detect the other party's cultivation, he was sure that the guy who attacked Ximen Chun was stronger than that, and he was more than a little stronger. So he always suspected that the other party was a powerful man at the level of the emperor god, but he had just ascended to the level of the emperor god? Is this possible??

The fat man looked at Lin Xu with dissatisfaction, "Lin Xu, that person used the technique of hiding cultivation, so that you could not detect it. But can't you see his strength when he took action? He is the level of the emperor god. Have you seen a person who has just ascended to the level of the emperor god? I have lived for so many years, and I have never even seen a god-level nephew Ximen accidentally was captured for a while, but you don't even have this kind of vision?"

"Uncle Fourth, according to my observation, that man's speed is really faster than me, so I judged that he is stronger than me. However, it is not ruled out that he is not at all high in cultivation, but he has special acceleration equipment or has practiced special secrets." Lin Xu secretly glanced at the fat man when he said this.

The greed in the fat man's eyes flashed and was clearly captured by him.

"Is there anything else?" Lin Xu suddenly saw that the spy had not left yet.

"Sir, when I went out to inquire about the news just now, a news in the city had spread." The spy looked anxious.

"Is it a matter?" the fat man asked impatiently.

"The Three Pole Beast Tide broke out in Karen City. It is said that they will support it for up to three days. After that, the direction of the Beast Tide is our Pompeii..."

"?Is this news spread by people?" The fat man's face changed, "Have you ever confirmed the authenticity?"

"It's not that it's spread by people, but I've asked someone to verify the authenticity of this matter, and it should be a result soon."

"It is very likely that it is true. If a rumor breaks out like a beast tide, it will be exposed soon, let alone the huge three-pole beast tide." Lin Xu frowned.

"How long will the beast tide come here?" Ximen Chun looked at Lin Xu with a nervous look on his face.

"It should take about four days to get from Karen City here, and it should be fine to hold on Karen City for three days. So it will take about seven days to affect this place." Lin Xu frowned slightly. He, Ximen Chun, the fear of death, must have wanted to escape.

"That... Brother Lin, Fourth Uncle, I suddenly remembered that there were still some things at home that had not been dealt with. I won't bother you this time. I will say goodbye first. Next time I have the chance, I will definitely accompany you." Ximen Chun made an excuse casually. He knew very well the terrible part of the beast tide. When he was very young, a level five beast tide broke out in the main city of Yanquan. He also clearly remembered the dark army of monsters. That level five beast tide was triggered by the five monster ancestor gods. The guy in charge was a super strong man at the late stage of the ancestral god level. If it weren't for the accident at the last moment, Yanquan City would have been removed from the main city from that day.

There is another special reason why he still remembered that incident fresh, because his grandmother, who had always been invincible in her eyes, was severely injured in that battle, and she was unconscious for several years before she woke up, and her cultivation level was always in the middle stage of the Ancestral God.

During the years when she was in a coma, the originally huge family quickly declined, which also made Ouyang Chun suffer from bullying from peers in other families during her youth.

Therefore, he has a shadow on the beast tide.

Although Lin Xu was not willing to leave Ximen Chun because Ximen Chun was there and when the beast tide came, the Ximen family would send experts to help. But now Ximen Chun has made a request to leave, and he cannot forcefully keep it, as it will only cause trouble. In fact, Ximen Chun Changsun’s position is very influential in the Ximen family. He is Ximen Bing’s first grandson and one she loves the most.

"Okay, Brother Ximen, then I'll arrange to send you there." Lin Xu's expression on his face was a little helpless. Without the help of the people from the Ximen family, it is still a question whether he can survive this triple beast tide.

"Brother Lin, why don't you go back to the Ximen family with me to avoid it for a while?" Ximen Chun looked at Lin Xu, "Just treat it as a matter of not being a beast tide. To the outside world, you have to come to my Ximen family for a visit because of the exchange of courtesy."

"Brother Ximen, thank you. But this is not possible. I am the lord of Pompeii. Although it is just a remote second-level town, I cannot leave millions of people behind and survive alone." Lin Xu shook his head with a wry smile, "Although the Three Pole Beast Tide is terrifying, this small city may not be spared, but I will try my best to survive and let as many people as possible survive."

"Let's do this, I asked my grandma to send a team of personal guards, all of which are at the level of the emperor god. There are seven people in total. Now, I should be able to arrive in five or six days. I'll let them protect your life." Although Ximen Chun was not very smart, and most of the time it was all about men and women, he was quite concerned about Lin Xu, who might be his only one.

The two of them were bullied in those princelings in the past. Ximen Chun was caused by his grandmother's coma and family decline. Although Lin Xu's father was the head of the Lin family, his mother was an ascensioner. He was the young master with the least status in the Lin family and the one who was bullied in the princelings. Therefore, after he became an adult, he was sent to such a remote second-level city to be the city lord.

Among the children at that time, only the two of them were bullied, so Ximen Chun always regarded Lin Xu as he was the only one who had never bullied him. But Lin Xu was thinking, it was unknown. He respected everyone, even Ximen Chun who was in the down-and-out back then.

"Seven Emperor God-level powerhouses?" Lin Xu was slightly stunned. He had never thought that Ximen Chun was so loyal. In his eyes, Ximen Chun had no other advantages except inheriting the advantages of his father - the first-class kung fu in bed. Of course, he only heard of his first-class kung fu in bed, and it was not true or false. However, this fool may not be a good thing, so he immediately agreed, "I have not refused for so many years. After all, it is related to my life and safety, so I thank you in advance. If I can survive this time, I must be with Brother Ximen again the day."

"Then I'll wait for you." Ximen Chun took out a communication token and sent a message. The communication token was replied soon after the conference. The expression on Ximen Chun's face was first happy, but then he showed a look of horror.

"Oh?" Lin Xu's heart tightened. Did the Ximen family not agree?

"Grandma agreed to send two teams of personal guards, and let a branch uncle from the early stage of the imperial level lead the team..." Ximen Chun looked sad, "But she asked me to stay and said she wanted me to take a good look at this beast tide and exercise..."

"Elder Ximen is also for your own good," Lin Xu was delighted. With an emperor-level master in charge, although the city cannot be guaranteed to be safe, the lives of the waiter must have been saved.

"Nephew Ximen, please rest assured. The Sanpole Beast Tide, the strongest monster is just the level of the emperor god. With the power of the imperial god level in charge, our lives will definitely be unhindered."

"But......"

"Don't worry, there will definitely be nothing wrong." Lin Xu patted Ximen Chun on the shoulder, finally calming him down.

"Nephew Ximen, since you want to stay, why don't I take you to settle the score with the guy who just bullied you?" The fat man proposed this idea in order to divert Ximen Chun's attention. He was also happy about Ximen Chun's stay. If the Sanpole Beast Tide really hit, once the city gate is lost, he may not be able to protect himself with his imperial god-level strength. But now Ximen Chun's existence has become a talisman, and he must curry favor with this young man.

"Uncle Fourth, there is no need for this. After a few days, the beast tide came. Whether those guys who had just ascended to survive was a question. Why do you need to take action?" Lin Xu frowned slightly. Now that the beast tide is approaching, he really doesn't want to cause trouble. Moreover, after learning that the other party and his group were just assemblers, he believed that in front of the fourth uncle, the group of people had no room for resistance. The idea of ​​originally planning to use the hands of those people to kill the fourth uncle disappeared. In this Pompeii, he was nominally the city lord, but in fact he was just a puppet. The real city lord was nominally here to protect him, but in fact he was the fourth uncle who wanted to seize power.

"No need to call them? Wouldn't it be a good idea to let them die under the beast tide?" The fat man's face shook violently, "My nephew Ximen suffered a grievance in our Pompeii. Can we give up?"

Seeing that Ximen Chun had no objection, Lin Xu had to shut up. He was also a man named Ximen Chun, so it was hard to persuade him again.

"Nephew Ximen, let's go." The fat man glanced at Lin Xu coldly and pulled Ximen Chun away.
