Chapter 297 - 52 Demon Beast Besieges the City
For seven days, Lu Hong had methodically completed his duties as a servant at Raoxue Castle, just as the maiden had said. After the sealing of the two level-ten Demon Beasts, the Demon Beasts within a hundred mile radius were stirred.
Not to mention, the higher the level of the Demon Beast, the greater the benefits its flesh had for the advancement of other Demon Beasts. Considering these were level-ten beasts, to other Demon Beasts, it was as if a delicious feast had been presented before them, danger notwithstanding.
The arrival of large Demon Beasts threw the entire Raoxue City into panic. Everyone knew that the Raoxue Queen was injured, and without the queen’s protection, for the Demon Beasts, Raoxue City was like a sumptuous feast.
Fortunately, the Alchemist Dai Tianwei took over the queen’s duties. With his Second-Transformation Peak combat power and numerous magic tools mastered through his secondary profession, he still had some leeway in dealing with the Demon Beasts.
"Sir," Kaif greeted Dai Tianwei tremblingly.
Leaning on the battlements, Dai Tianwei stood over the spoils of war taken from dead Demon Beasts. Turning to Kaif with a smile, he asked, "What does the City Lord wish to instruct?"
"Ah," Kaif glanced around, making sure no one else was nearby before he continued, "Lord Dai, everything has proceeded according to your plan. When will we truly break free from Qing Ling’s control and take charge of our own destiny?"
"DId the potion you released go as planned?"
"Reporting to you, sir, there were no errors."
Calculating, Dai Tianwei then placed an arm around Kaif’s shoulder and congratulated, "Then it’ll be soon. Once the drug accumulates to the threshold, it will erupt within Qing Ling’s body, draining her of magic power within three days. That will be your chance to turn the tables and take control of Raoxue City and own the countless treasures within Raoxue Castle."
