Chapter 231: The Sighting
"What? A Class 5 Magical Beast?" The sudden news instantly broke the silence in the meeting room. Immediately, Yun Li's face paled as he stood up from his chair. With a single stride he reached the soldier and grabbed onto his clothes with both hands and a look of disbelief, "What did you say, did you really see a Class 5 Magical Beast?" Yun Li's words were practically shouts by this point.
"Ye-yes my lord, We came across a Class 5 Magical Beast in the Magical Beast Mountain Range." The soldier's voice began to tremble as his face drained with color.
Even Jian Chen's face had hardened as he heard the words of a Class 5 Magical Beast being sighted. A Class 5 Magical Beast rivalled an Earth Saint Master in strength, but they had a natural superiority over humans and could easily fight against them. Unless a person had an extremely strong battle skill, they definitely wouldn't be considered an opponent for a Class 5 Magical Beast. Besides, Wake City wasn't a city where many Earth Saint Masters came to visit, making a Class 5 Magical Beast almost a paragon without a rival existence to them.
A Class 5 Magical Beast was to an Earth Saint Master what a Class 4 Magical Beast was to a Great Saint Master. There was a clear divide between the two almost as wide as the heavens and earth. In comparison, a Great Saint Master's strength compared to an Earth Saint Master was like watching a Primary Saint who had just condensed his Saint Weapon fight against a Peak Great Saint. It would be a definite failure for the lower ranking Saint and would be impossible for them to win.
Although Jian Chen had previously killed two Class 5 Magical Beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, that was when both magical beasts were in a severely injured state where they couldn't even stand up. Their lives were hanging by a thread, but even then, he had paid a hefty price for killing the two of them.
Jian Chen had no doubts that a Class 5 Magical Beast in an optimal state was far stronger than the Earth Saint Master who had chased him from Phoenix City. However, the appearance of a Class 5 Magical Beast only made him feel much greater pressure. That was because he had the azure and violet Sword Spirits to assist him and increase his strength several times over. He was confident that his power was enough to punish a peak Class 5 Magical Beast with his sword, as long as he didn't encounter any bizarre existences like the Silver Striped Golden Snake.
"Oh no, things are getting worse now that a Class 5 Magical Beast was seen." Yun Li spoke with a hardened face. His eyebrows furrowed together in thought before finally muttering, "No, this won't do. Our Wake City is too weak to defend against the attack of a Class 5 Magical Beast. I must ask a King City immediately, otherwise Wake City will suffer tremendous damages."
Up to now, there was no hesitation from Yun Li as he immediately strode outside without even looking back at Jian Chen. A Class 5 Magical Beast was definitely a fatal enemy to Wake City's existence and could not be taken lightly. So, this matter had to be the first thing resolved and have some high leveled experts come deal with the Class 5 Magical Beast straight away.
Lord Yun Li exited the room and went to his study where he grabbed a brush and paper to immediately start writing a message on it. After he was done, he immediately rolled it up into a cylinder and tied it with a piece of string.
"Bring the fastest messenger bird we have to bring this to Monarch City's lord immediately!"
"Yes my lord!" Immediately a soldier came in and quickly took the letter before leaving the room once more.
"This is an order, from this moment on, the appearance of a Class 5 Magical Beast will be kept a secret from everyone. And in the meanwhile, do not travel out by yourself and bring the leader of the Wake City's Mercenary Union branch here. Finally, keep a close eye out on the activity of the Magical Beast Mountain Range." Yun Li commanded to every guard he had before striding away.
