The Master of Beasts-Chapter 682 - 198
The Thirteen City, as an officially sequenced City of Exploration of the Five Elements Sect, is naturally very large!
Judging solely by the city's size, the area of Thirteen City is larger than all the cities or settlements established in nearby survival points combined!
Although the Ten Thousand City Sky Lock is an extremely special and inherently powerful array, to completely integrate it into Star Moon City requires a lot of time, which this unexpected event has disrupted Chen Jiuge's plans.
According to the initial plan, Chen Jiuge intended to conquer Thirteen City, then quickly integrate with Star Moon City, followed by swiftly reclaiming the surrounding survival points in a flash.
As long as the defenses are linked together, the area of Thirteen City of the Five Elements Sect will entirely become his own territory!
But now, it seems something unexpected has occurred!
"City Lord, an unexpected resistance force has appeared on Nine Dragon Mountain to the east!" Yu Bai's forehead was dotted with cold sweat.
Chen Jiuge showed a hint of dissatisfaction: "Resistance?"
The number of Spiritual Beast armies I've provided is already quite large. For a lone survival point, based on the intelligence given by Mo Yu, there shouldn't be any problems!
"City Lord, the remaining active forces from nearby survival points have basically gathered there. We've already occupied the important positions around!" Yu Bai explained.
"Heh!" Chen Jiuge sneered, saying no more.
The existence of survival points is not just about those who control them; the largest group among them is always the loose cultivators!
As a sect's most troublesome foes, these loose cultivators won't follow any rules and stick to Nine Dragon Mountain. In chaotic times like this, they just look to exploit opportunities, pouncing at resources like wild dogs!
"Just keep an eye on Nine Dragon Mountain. I'll make arrangements soon. For now, focus on organizing the chaotic loose cultivators around here!"
"Shouldn't be a problem with the loose cultivators, right?" Chen Jiuge said sternly.
Yu Bai wiped his cold sweat, assuring: "Rest assured, City Lord, no problem at all!"
"Mm! Go on."
"Wait a moment!" Chen Jiuge suddenly called Yu Bai back.
"City Lord, what's the matter?" Yu Bai was somewhat apprehensive. Now is not like the time when he had just entered the Origin Secret Realm; Chen Jiuge now far surpasses him in terms of status, position, power, and personal strength.
"After this, you can take a position at the City Lord Mansion, not as a Guest Elder. As for your status in Wufa Temple, I'll have a good discussion with Master Kai Ming!" Chen Jiuge said calmly. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Yu Bai lifted his head sharply, his face brimming with joy: "City Lord, really.. really?"
"Mm."
"Thank you, City Lord, Yu Bai is willing to give his utmost efforts!"
Without experiencing others' hardships, one cannot understand their hearts. Yu Bai's experience at Wufa Temple may sound like an ordinary story, but for Yu Bai, it's truly a deeply engraved painful experience.
"Go, do your work well and take care of yourself."
"Yes."
After Yu Bai left, Chen Jiuge felt a slight headache. There were very few cultivators under his command who could handle things independently. To handle matters in the Golden Desert one needs the cultivation of a Three Flowers Heavenly Immortal, but even they are not very common.
The number of Three Flowers Heavenly Immortals is not small, but their combat strength varies greatly. Like how Kai Ming easily suppresses Yu Bai, yet Yu Bai, who has earned the title of Master White Tiger among loose cultivators, is not considered weak!
This comparison shows just how much disparity exists between loose cultivators and sect cultivators!
The two most important cultivator armies under Chen Jiuge, the Star Moon Guard and Northern Guards, are formed respectively by loose cultivators and Northern body cultivators.
Their combat strength is indeed lacking. Without the enhancement of Spiritual Beasts allocated to each cultivator, attempting to conquer the Thirteen City area would have been utter fantasy!

Star Moon City
Mo Yu's hands turned into a blur, constantly signing his name on document after document.
After a while, he finally finished signing the towering pile of documents. By his side, Xiao Hong stretched lazily and said, "Finally, almost done!"
"What's next on the agenda?"
"Plenty. Xiao Hong, check on logistics, and Xiao Zizai should also get out for a bit; can't keep drinking in the mansion!" Mo Yu suddenly said.
"Uh, where should we put him?" Xiao Hong was a bit puzzled; with Xiao Zizai's habits, he doesn't seem suitable anywhere!
"Logistics will do. His strength is sufficient, and there aren't any particularly troublesome matters in logistics. Just ensuring the safety of supplies is enough." Without a pause, Mo Yu replied.
"Works for me."
Star Moon Pond
Dabai held a piece of Spirit Grass in its mouth, lying on the grass unafraid of the tall Spiritual Horses trampling nearby.
"What are you doing here? Finished with your artifact refining tasks?" Silver King folded his wings and descended from above, transforming into a young man.
"Artifact refining? I, the great one, of course, completed it!" Dabai's eyes momentarily flickered.
Silver King shook his head secretly; one glance at Dabai's demeanor was enough to know he hadn't finished it and probably snuck out to slack off.
"What about you? Weren't you supposed to deliver some urgent items? How come you're back?" Dabai shifted the topic.
"I've delivered everything needed for the Ten Thousand City Sky Lock, not much to do now. There are still logistics units in the city, they can't expect me to deliver it all alone." Silver King complained somewhat.
Though he flies fast, even he gets tired constantly flying back and forth, especially since the primary spiritual materials for the Ten Thousand City Sky Lock can't fit in a Storage Ring, making the numerous flights exhausting.
