<h4>Chapter 453: Chapter 201: Martial King Pavilion, Zhuang Shuyuan_2</h4>


    "Are they from Phoenix Temple?"


    "Damn it, do Tu Long and Old Dog Hong want to start a war? Are they not afraid of Brother Meng seeking them out?"


    In Martial King Pavilion, many instantly grew furious and began cursing.


    Zhang Qing said, "No, they’re not from Phoenix Temple. It seems to be a group of neers who just arrived. My brother and I specially went to ask Phoenix Temple."


    "There are superpower users in this group. They have already had a conflict with the people from Phoenix Temple and even imed they are going to take over our Martial King Pavilion."


    "These are the words directly from Phoenix Temple people. We also saw with our own eyes that many people from Phoenix Temple are indeed dead, and there are still bits of flesh on the steps that haven’t been washed away by the rain."


    "Enough said, I must hurry to find Sister Zhuang and Brother Meng to ask for their decision."


    "Go quickly. We can’t lose Fire Bamboo Forest. Those bamboos are very important to us, not only for making bows and arrows but also for therge number of fire bamboo shoots and fire bamboo rats inside."


    "Yeah, don’t dy. I’ll go with you."


    While speaking, several people stood up and quickly led Zhang Qing and Wang Le into thergest pavilion.


    That is the main pavilion of Martial King Pavilion. At this moment, in Martial King Pavilion, several superpower users were sitting below, while a graceful woman sat at the top.


    This woman was beautiful and elegant, with jewel-like eyes, and her voluptuous figure exuded an aura of nobility.


    She sat in a wicker chair, drinking tea and listening to the superpower users below discussing the imminent sea tide.


    "This time, the sea tide might be stronger than thest one."


    "The heavy rain has not stopped, the water level keeps rising, and the monsters in the water will only get more numerous andrger."


    "Yes, the rising water level means therge mutant beasts in the water might swim over from the deep sea."


    "Tell the men salvaging materials to hurry up, clear the things in the nearby waters, and reinforce the bamboo raft barriers."


    "The brothers in the mining area also need to hurry. Once thest batch of superpower stones is brought back, we can pause the digging and prepare for the sea tide."


    "It’s not just about the sea tide but also the mutant beasts in the forest. They will also riot once the tidees."


    "Damn it, how long is this damned weather going to keep raining?"


    Someone startedining.


    At this moment, the elegant woman gently tapped the table, her beautiful eyes scanning the room.


    Instantly, everyone shut up and looked at her.


    Zhuang Shuyuanzily asked, "Are the supplies fully prepared? ording to the norm, the sea tide willst at least two days, with the peak on the fifteenth and sixteenth. After enduring it, we still have to clear the mutant sea beasts left on the ind."


    "Sister Zhuang, everything is ready. Each house has enough supplies stored in the caves tost seven days."


    Zhuang Shuyuan nodded, "What about the vegetable plots? Have all protective measures been taken?"


    "Sister Zhuang, the vegetable plots can only be surrounded by bamboo. They might stop small mutant beasts, but ifrge mutant beastse, the barriers are just for show."


    Hearing this, a look of helplessness appeared on Zhuang Shuyuan’s beautiful face, and she could only say, "Do your best. Our terrain is not low; those mutant beasts from the sea tide might not climb up here."


    Although she said that, she knew it was impossible.


    There were too manyrge mutant beasts in the sea. Under the sea tide, they would surelye ashore.


    Whether for spawning or hunting, a confrontation with them was inevitable.


    While they were talking, hurried footsteps could be heard outside.


    Soon after, Zhang Qing and Wang Le knocked on the door with a few others.


    Zhuang Shuyuan asked curiously, "Come in."


    The few immediately entered. Seeing the high-ranking members present, Zhang Qing quickly said, "Sister Zhuang, something happened. A group of people arrived at Fire Bamboo Forest and settled there."


    Zhuang Shuyuan wanted to ask what happened, but upon hearing this, she immediately sat up straight, herzy expression disappearing and reced by a grim look.


    "Where did this groupe from? Is Tu Long behind this?"


    Her first reaction was to suspect the Phoenix Temple camp in the north, as Fire Bamboo Foresty between Martial King Pavilion and Phoenix Temple. Apart from Phoenix Temple, she couldn’t think of any other group.


    Zhang Qing shook his head, "It shouldn’t be. Wang Le and I specially investigated Phoenix Temple. This group justnded a few days ago, led by a superpower user named Liang Yuan."


    "They came ashore from the north and were ambushed by Tu Long’s men as soon as theynded. Who would have thought they had several superpower users in their group? They broke through Phoenix Temple’s ambush andnded forcefully."


    "We found out that Tu Long faced off against Liang Yuan, and seemed to be no match for him. He had to use a st Talisman Stone to scare them away."


    "Tu Long lost?"


    Zhuang Shuyuan was stunned, then her expression grew serious.


    The superpower users sitting below her began to exim.


    "Tu Long’s ’Tattoo Spirit’ power is so unpredictable, how could he lose?"


    "With Tu Long’s superpower, he actually lost? What kind of superpower does Liang Yuan have?"


    "This doesn’t bode well. For them to be able to cross the flood andnd here, they must be extraordinary. Having a master among them is expected."


    "How many people do they have?"


    "Zhang Qing, any more information?"


    They raised a flurry of questions.


    Zhang Qing said, "Time is tight, and the information we gathered is limited."


    "We only know this group has about a hundred people, with at least ten superpower users among them."


    "ording to our informant in Phoenix Temple, Tu Long fought Liang Yuan with White Tiger Pattern Spirit, Hand of God, Satan Skull, and even Cyan Dragon Pattern Spirit, but still lost."
