Chapter 65: Chapter 58 Turmoil Insider_2

Walking into this city, the streets were bustling with people and traffic, lively and vibrant.

On both sides, buildings housed various shops, including restaurants, inns, as well as stores selling a range of weapons and demon beast medicinal materials and furs.

Despite the prosperity, few dared to cause trouble. Rumor had it that the City Lord of Demon Suppression City was a super expert nearing the Martial God Realm. He had issued strict orders: offenders would be severely punished, and even prominent national powers and sects didn’t dare stir up any trouble.

It wasn’t just because of the City Lord’s immense strength, but also because Xiafeng Country, this great nation, could annihilate any rebellious forces with its wrath.

The garrison of hundreds of thousands of troops also acted as a deterrent.

Ye Chen climbed up to a high-standard tavern in the city and called for the best wine and dishes. As he dined alone, he kept watch and listened carefully, gathering various pieces of information about the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

Taverns, where people congregated, often served as the best places to collect various kinds of information, where one could learn many useful things.

"Sigh, another demon beast turmoil is coming. Who knows how many will die this time; it’s always the same," lamented an elderly man in black clothes with white hair, sitting at a nearby table. Despite the delicious food on his table, his face was filled with worry, the food tasteless.

He was a native of Demon Suppression City, having lived in this ancient city for many years, with generations rooted here. He had strong feelings for it and did not wish to see it ravaged by a demon beast turmoil.

The man across from him was an equally aged man, wearing luxurious yellow silk, seemingly indifferent: "Throughout history, each demon beast turmoil has brought massive casualties, that’s always been the case, unavoidable. There’s no use in sighing over it."

There were not just the two of them at the table, but several other elderly men, clearly acquainted, dining and casually chatting about the matter of the demon beast turmoil.

Ye Chen’s attention shifted their way, and he leaned in to eavesdrop.

"Huh, this upcoming demon beast turmoil is strange, don’t you all feel the same?" said the yellow-clothed elder.

"Why is it strange?" the others were puzzled.

"Haven’t you noticed? Historically, a demon beast turmoil occurs every one hundred and fifty years as a rule, but it has only been one hundred and eight years since the last one. There should still be forty-two years to go, so why is it happening ahead of time?"

"Yes, forty-two years early, that is peculiar indeed."

"Such things are hard to predict, but according to reliable internal information, this demon beast turmoil could be the largest-scale one in history," the man in black suddenly spoke, drawing Ye Chen’s full attention.

"Why?" everyone was shocked, the worst demon beast turmoil in history could mean more severe consequences than any before.

Each historical demon beast turmoil had inflicted thousands of deaths and numerous casualties; a turmoil of the greatest magnitude would undoubtedly claim even more lives.

This matter could not help but draw everyone’s serious concern.

"This was told to me by my son, he is a deputy general in the army, and he accidentally heard about this confidential information. You must not divulge this," the man in black appeared cautious, glancing around cautiously before continuing in a low voice upon receiving everyone’s promise of secrecy: "It’s said that the root cause of this demon beast turmoil is that a treasure in the Demon Beast Mountain Range was stolen, angering the Demon Beast Kings, who suspect it was the doing of our Human Clan, thereby instigating the turmoil. Rumor even has it that when the real turmoil begins, a Beast God transcending the Martial God Realm might appear, though it’s uncertain if this is true."

The other men suddenly paled, wanting to object, but the black-clothed man’s son was a high-grade general among the three hundred thousand-strong army, often accompanying commanders, hence he often had access to credible intelligence.

Accordingly, there was a high likelihood of truth to the matter.

However, the greater the truth, the more worrying it was.

"If such a Beast God appears, it would be a catastrophe of immense proportions. Who could contend with it, barring the arrival of an invincible Heavenly God?"

The table of elders was filled with concern, anxious that this most fearsome demon beast turmoil in history might even level Demon Suppression City, an ancient city that had withstood numerous past turmoils.

After all, this turmoil wasn’t limited to the appearance of super demon beasts from the Martial God Realm; even a legendary Beast God might make an appearance.

A Beast God, a being that transcended the Martial God Realm, its overwhelming power beyond the world’s imagination, immeasurable in strength.

Legend had it that once such a being made a move, even a mere gesture could easily annihilate vast armies, reducing thousands of miles of territory to rubble with little effort.

All this was due to their possession of divine forces that exceeded the mortal realm, hence the epithet of "Heavenly God" was bestowed upon them.

If Xiafeng Country lacked a Heavenly God-level expert to intervene, this turmoil might become the most terrible in history, potentially causing immeasurable destruction and loss to the entire nation, irreparable damage.
