Chapter 503 - 295: Rebirth! Monster Hunter Guild
"Four years ago, we submitted to national security, submitted to national interest, and disbanded the Guild."
"Those who advocated for the disbandment back then swore that in the future, the Cangling Ancient Country would no longer have Beast Tides."
"Therefore, there would be no need for our Monster Hunter Guild anymore."
"But today, as the South sinks into dire straits, we received only a shred of external support."
"Colleagues, I also feel it is time."
When Wu Yi reached this point, his pupils suddenly brightened. Under the expectations of everyone, he slowly and loudly announced:
"Today, regardless of what the future holds, regardless of the prospects..."
"The Southern Monster Hunter Guild is rebuilt!"
As soon as these words were spoken, every president below had red eyes.
Once, they thought they could never again appear as a president of the Monster Hunter Guild.
But who would have thought that four years later...
The Monster Hunter Guild is reborn!
"Moreover, I solemnly promise here..." Wu Yi said loudly, "Unless I, Wu Yi, am dead, the Southern Monster Hunter Guild will never disband!"
"Good! Good indeed!"
Many were moved to tears upon hearing this.
....
After the meeting, Wu Yi also released an announcement through the Guild Machine about the rebirth of the Monster Hunter Guild, causing a fervor throughout the city.
Every Monster Hunter was extremely excited because, for them, this announcement was of immense significance.
They could join the fight, but they needed to understand why they were fighting.
Lin Chen was not surprised by this result. Since the launch station was resurrected, naturally, the Monster Hunter Guild should be too.
In the evening, Lin Chen was in Chen Yun’s courtyard bandaging Xiaobai’s wounds when unexpectedly, Chen Ming arrived, accompanied by Wu Yi.
"President Wu, this is Lin," Chen Ming recounted the recent events to Wu Yi, "If it weren’t for his perseverance, perhaps South City would truly be gone."
Wu Yi glanced up and down at Lin Chen, then laughed heartily, "The champion of the Beast Fighting Conference is truly extraordinary. Lee Zhen, Jiuxing City has indeed produced a talent."
Lee Zhen grinned broadly from the side.
If Lin Chen were to mature normally, both his talent and intellect would make his future boundless.
The current Lin Chen no longer needs others to acknowledge his existence.
"President Wu jests, I am also a member of the Monster Hunters, merely doing my small part." Lin Chen clasped his hands and said.
Wu Yi looked at Lin Chen with even more appreciation and then sat down, followed by Chen Ming and others. Wu Yi then said, "I heard you had Chen Yun report a concept about the Demon Race forbidden zone..."
Lin Chen was taken aback, then quickly remembered and said, "Indeed."
"You mentioned that the forbidden zone the Demon Race wanted to establish earlier was aimed at the South?" Wu Yi asked.
"Correct."
Lin Chen said, "The Celestial Capital is in the north, and many forbidden zone plans by the Demon Race were rejected by the Celestial Capital. Meanwhile, the South is far removed from the Emperor’s presence, and whatever the Demon Race plans, the Celestial Capital will not interfere."
"The Demon Race’s main plan in attacking the South should be to divide and rule."
After saying this, Lin Chen drew a line on the map around the Celestial Realm Mountain and Heng Mountain regions.
"What do you think we should do next?" Wu Yi asked with a smile.
Lin Chen was surprised because he hadn’t considered this point.
At that time, with the urgency in South City, Lin Chen’s thought was that survival would already be an achievement.
But now that they’ve survived, it’s time to consider the next steps.
"Do you think the Demon Race will return?" Wu Yi asked.
"They likely won’t give up," Lin Chen said. "Relatively speaking, the South is the easiest to invade and control."
"Indeed." Wu Yi replied, "But a prolonged war is not good for us either. The South is vast, and while South City has gathered some strength, if the Demon Race begins a guerrilla war against us, other city residents will be the first to falter, facing widespread slaughter."
"That’s not what we want to see."
Lin Chen nodded, then suddenly thought of something, looking at Wu Yi in disbelief said, "You’re thinking of attacking their forbidden zone?"
Wu Yi nodded.
Lee Zhen and the others shared the same sentiment.
"Too risky," Lin Chen contemplated. "Plus, we don’t have enough strength."
"That’s also our biggest dilemma," Wu Yi said.
Currently, South City is secured, and a large number of residents can be relocated there, forming a safe haven.
But to counterattack the entire South, a large army is still needed.
Relying solely on the Monster Hunter Guild of South City, this goal is impossible to achieve.
....
At night, Lin Chen sat in a chair, listening to the sounds of Xiaobai and the others training, his mind wandering over the day’s events.
"Is the Demon Race’s goal really only the South...."
Lin Chen suddenly thought about this issue.
Then, a name came to mind:
Nine Netherworld Snake.
To understand the true intention of the Demon Race, the best method is to guess what the Nine Netherworld Snake is thinking.
No.
The real power of the Demon Race must not have been deployed yet; the Nine Netherworld Snake is the first supreme Demon King in nearly a century to unify the major Demon Races, allowing it to mobilize the true strength of the Demon Race.
The Nine Netherworld Snake wouldn’t do so much just for the South.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen’s sleepiness vanished.
....
".....Greetings to the Demon King."
In the Desolate Realm, a Demon King knelt on both knees, paying respects to the Nine Netherworld Snake, who was in human form seated on a chair.
The Nine Netherworld Snake asked, "Hasn’t the Undying Phoenix taken the South yet?"
"Reporting to the Demon King, the Southern Monster Hunter Guild regrouped and caught them by surprise...."
"Useless."
The Nine Netherworld Snake’s eyes flashed with anger, and the Demon King quickly lowered his head at this sight.
"What about the Dragon Scorpion Race?"
"The Dragon Scorpion Race is preparing to attack the Spirit Academy," the Demon King replied a bit unnaturally: "The Undying Phoenix also sent a message, asking what to do next."
"Let them continue to wage war in the South." The Nine Netherworld Snake responded with some displeasure, "And what’s the situation with the Celestial Capital?"
"Currently, not much of their army has been sent out, but pressures from all sides on the Celestial Capital continue," The Demon King said, "Their newly appointed National Preceptor is already starting to bear the brunt of the criticism."
"Good."
Upon hearing this, the Nine Netherworld Snake smiled and said to the Demon King:
"Inform the other Demon Kings that once the Dragon Scorpion King captures the Spirit Academy, they can begin their plans."
"Yes."
The Demon King nodded, then quickly departed.
As it left, the Nine Netherworld Snake closed its eyes again, though blood continuously flowed from its body.
"Zhong Nan, see, this nation will soon be mine!"
"This time, no one can stop me!"
