Cultivation Pet Shop

It was a meeting in name, but most of the meeting was just the three family heads listening to the strategy of Lin Fan.

While Lin Fan wasn't a genius, he did have a genius tactician with him in the form of Brainy.

Brainy had already formulated various plans that depended on how many of the royal families would participate, but of course the best scenario was that they would all participate like they had now. Each of the royal families had accumulated resources that couldn't be underestimated and each one that agreed to fight would increase their overall strength.

But of course, the main force of this fight wouldn't be the three royal families. Rather, all they would be providing would be cannon fodder that would clear out the normal beasts of the beast waves.

The main fighters would all be coming from Lin Fan's pet shop.

Lin Fan's pet shop couldn't be judged based on the surface.

In truth, just Momonga or Angela alone would be enough to take care of all the beast waves, but that couldn't be allowed. If they were allowed to show their strength, it would mean exposing them for who they were.

Now that Lin Fan had a deeper understanding of the world above, he also had an understanding of the status that both Momonga and Angela had. This made it even more imperative that he hid their statuses or it could start a war that went far beyond the scale that he was at right now.

So the most power that they could show was the peak of the Fragmented Soul Realm which was the peak of this lower realm. Anymore and it would be too easy for people to become suspicious.

Then there were the two freeloaders in his shop who had been working hard.

After being trained by Momonga, Yin had already broken through to the Fragmented Soul Realm and Jin had reached the high Fragmented Soul Realm.

If they worked together, there would be no problem with them taking out one of the beast waves since Jin was a mutated beast with a special law, which made him much stronger than most other beasts.

As for Yin, he would basically be Jin's backup.

The shadow law would be considered a special law, but it had no use here since all of the beast waves had a King Beast that could use shadow laws.

The one that was behind all these beast waves was the Shadow Lord and as the name implied, he was a beast that was skilled in using the shadow law. As such, most of his subordinates were also skilled in using the shadow law even if it wasn't the law they were born with.

Just that alone was a total of four Legendary Realm Experts.

Then there was Lin Fan who could match a King Beast by himself and his four pets who when working together were strong enough to take down a King Beast alone.

This power was already enough to match the number of Legendary Realm Experts that were publicly advertised on the Eastern Continent. If this was known by others, it would definitely be a force that no one could look down on.

In fact, the Lin Family ancestor was shocked by the situation of the pet shop.

There were two people here whose cultivations he couldn't see through and he was certain that they weren't weaker than him, so that meant that must have had higher cultivations than him if he couldn't see through them.

Then there were the two workers of the store that were clearly in the Fragmented Soul Realm.

What kind of a store was this?

Even the workers were in the Fragmented Soul Realm!

But speaking of the Lin Family ancestor, Lin Fan had some doubts about him.

While fighting that beast wave earlier, since he had finished earlier than the other two, Lin Fan had spent some time watching them fight.

He could tell that the Lin Family ancestor was clearly hiding something. He had been holding back in his fight against the wolf King Beast. If he hadn't been holding back, it was clear that he could have fought the wolf King Beast alone, maybe even both of them.

But Lin Fan didn't expose this since the Lin Family ancestor had his own reasons for hiding this from everyone and Lin Fan had no reason to expose him.

But there was also another thing that bothered him, which was his breakthrough.

According to what he thought, he assumed that it was the Lin Family holding back his cultivation. If he couldn't take care of them and pay them back for the past, it would be like a heart demon that stopped him from breaking through.

However, he had already taken care of the Lin Family, even if it wasn't as satisfying as he would have liked it to be, but he still had taken care of it.

Since that was the case, why didn't he break through?

Lin Fan still felt like there was something in his heart that stopped him from taking that final step, but right now he couldn't figure out what it was.

Did he have to destroy the Lin Family?

No, that didn't seem right since he had no real grudge against the Lin Family and it was clear that the Lin Family was important to his father.

So what was it?

Lin Fan just couldn't think all of this through, so he had no choice but to forget it in the end and focus on the battle plan.

The battle plan that they had was to wait for the beast waves to pass by and see how many would come to Snow Wind City.

This wasn't actually Lin Fan's plan, he felt that this plan was too passive.

This was actually Brainy's plan because it had noticed something.

The target of these beast waves wasn't actually Snow Wind City, it was a point near Snow Wind City. All of these beast waves would only be passing by Snow Wind City, so there was no need to engage all of them. After all, they were clearly short on hands.

Brainy had noticed this through a mix of scouting information from the Union Government obtained from the Lin Family ancestor and its own scouts that it had released on the way. Through all this information, it had been able to pinpoint the exact location that all these beast waves were heading towards, allowing it to determine the exact final destination of all these beast waves.

It was a point that was just ten kilometers away from Snow Wind City, but it meant that all the beast waves would be passing by.

Since they were passing by, it didn't mean that all the beast waves would be attacking Snow Wind City, but that also didn't mean that there would be no beast waves attacking Snow Wind City.

These beast waves were definitely controlled by someone, so there was no way that they would leave a threat like this city behind. They would send one of the beast waves to take care of this human stronghold just in case.

Of course, they would never expect several Legendary Realm Experts to be hiding in this city.

That was the plan that they decided to take because it was the safest plan there was.

If they were to fight every single wave one by one as they came, they would definitely exhaust themselves from continuous fights with beast waves that numbered in the millions.

Since their plan was decided, all that was left was to evacuate all the civilians that were in the city.

There was no chance that they would be able to hide the fact that all these beast waves would be coming to Snow Wind City, it would eventually be leaked. Instead of trying to hide everything, it was better to expose this news and try to calm the population as much as possible to avoid as much panic as they could.

Of course, there were still a few cases of panic that happened in the city, but they were easily dealt with.

It wasn't that the people trusted in the upper management of Snow Wind City, rather they had all given up in despair since they knew that there was no chance. Instead of trying to fight to the end, most of them had accepted this fact, so they allowed themselves to be evacuated.

Snow Wind City as a stronghold naturally had its own evacuation bunkers for their civilians and that was where most of them were packed.

There were of course also those that chose to fight and they joined the forces of the three royal families on the walls.

Among them were people that Lin Fan were quite familiar with…

Once they finished the evacuation, all they could do was wait on the walls for the arrival of the beast waves.

It happened slowly at first, just a few tremors, but as time passed, the tremors became much stronger. They were strong enough for people to mistake it for a small earthquake and there showed no signs of stopping.

There were clouds of dust that were raised in the distance and there was a dense black line on the horizon. This was a gathering of beasts that the people of Snow Wind City had never seen before.

There was more and more fear that filled the guards on the walls as the beast wave approached, allowing them to see the numbers even more clearly.

This was a beast wave that they had never seen before, they had honestly never seen this many beasts in a single place.

But the beast passed right by Snow Wind City, not even stopping for a minute.

It seemed like Brainy's appraisal was correct, they weren't heading right for Snow Wind City.

At the very least, that was a bit of hope for them.
