Right when Shen Si was filled with suspicion, Chang Fei beside him also began to have doubts.
The people of the Song Family suddenly arrived here, even calling Old Shen by name, saying they had some questions for him?
The Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association and the Song Family have virtually no connection, right?
Moreover, to be honest, he didn’t have much favorable impression of these noble families.
After all, the Martial Arts Association, which recruits students and teaches them based on their talents, naturally stands opposed to the families that emphasize bloodline and are extremely exclusionary.
"Old Shen, how about I go and turn them away?"
He looked at Shen Si and said, "Just say you’re not in the association, off carrying out a secret mission."
"Forget it."
Shen Si smiled bitterly.
"Since they managed to find us here, they probably know that I’m currently at the headquarters. Besides, if it’s a blessing, it won’t be a disaster; if it’s a disaster, there’s no avoiding it."
"True."
Chang Fei nodded.
"If necessary, should I go with you?"
"You better go to the City Lord’s Mansion and wait for the President to come out."
Shen Si smiled slightly, "I can handle this."
"Alright."
Chang Fei didn’t say anything more and walked away alone.
"Lead the way."
Shen Si looked at the person who brought the news.
He felt assured that the Song Family probably didn’t know or weren’t certain that he was involved in the deaths of Song Gang and the others.
Otherwise, this wouldn’t have been the setup.
Since that’s the case, he had nothing to fear. No matter what, he wouldn’t admit to anything.
Reaching this stage in life, he had weathered many storms, and even if the Song Family Ancestor came, it would be no different.
...
Meanwhile.
Chen Fan hung up the phone, his gaze directed towards Anshan City.
It’s time to go back and make some early preparations.
As for the people inside the association, whether they stay or leave after learning about the situation, he’s not going to force anyone.
Compared to the morning, there were more fierce beasts in the wilderness now.
Fortunately, he had activated Celestial Response ahead of time to evade them.
At this moment, he suddenly sensed something different.
Among the various fierce beast energies, there was also the presence of humans, and the number of humans was rapidly decreasing.
"Could it be that a beast horde is attacking a human race stronghold?"
Chen Fan slowed down and looked in that direction.
Well, if he didn’t encounter them, so be it; if he did, let those fierce beasts face misfortune.
He changed direction and sped swiftly towards the place.
About fifty to sixty miles away in the direction Chen Fan was heading, a beast horde comprising thousands of fierce beasts was attacking a stronghold similar to Song Family Castle.
The originally over ten meters high city wall had several large breaches, and fierce beasts were swarming in madly.
Most eye-catching were a few giant elephants, seventeen or eighteen meters tall. They lifted their massive front legs, crushing houses like ants, then stretched out their trunks, grabbing people inside and stuffing them into their blood-soaked mouths.
Clearly, the gaps in the city wall were their handiwork.
Behind them, thousands of fierce beasts were rampaging against nearby buildings.
Whole rows of buildings collapsed, with many people buried under the rubble before they could even evacuate, their fate unknown.
In the streets, human martial artists or teams of ordinary people wielded light and heavy machine guns, attacking these fierce beasts.
The gun barrels spewed flames, bullets raining down on the towering beasts without mercy.
From time to time, some fierce beasts were shot into sieves and fell down, howling in pain.
However, those fallen were negligible compared to the thousands present.
Moreover, among these fierce beasts, though most were mid to high-level, there were also dozens or even hundreds of elite-level fierce beasts.
Even bullets from heavy machine guns bounced off their tough scale armor, causing no fatal harm.
Rocket launchers only caused minor injuries.
But in the next moment, these teams would be targeted by a few elite-level fierce beasts and swiftly fall into pools of blood.
For a while, the entire stronghold was filled with the stench of blood and the cries of women and children.
"How did it come to this?"
A survivor knelt on the ground, tears in his eyes, looking at the hellish scene around him.
Just yesterday, everything was fine.
Life was tough, but if you were willing to work hard, you could survive in this world.
No matter how hard the days were, returning home and seeing the smiles of family made everything worthwhile.
But this morning, the fierce beasts suddenly appeared and attacked the stronghold.
The few cannons on the city wall were ineffective, and the wall was destroyed. Right afterward, the fierce beasts surged into the city like a tide.
His wife, his child, all were dead!
"Why are you still standing there? Quickly find a place to hide!"
A blood-soaked martial artist holding a heavy machine gun yelled at him.
However, the man seemed not to hear, staring blankly ahead until a massive shadow descended, crushing him into a bloody pulp.
"Beast!"
The martial artist, seeing this, raised his gun and furiously shot at the giant elephant.
Bullets hit its head, producing only sparks without any effect.
The giant elephant, unaffected, picked up the man’s mangled corpse with its trunk and stuffed it into its mouth, chewing as blood flowed from its mouth to the ground.
"Click, click, click!"
Soon the bullets ran out, and the gun chamber clicked crisply.
"Beast! Beast!"
The martial artist fiercely threw the gun aside, his eyes bloodshot from anger.
