Novel Full Chapter 137 Siege
Everyone was stunned when they heard that! What do you mean a calamity? Why don’t we sense anything?!
“Ahaha. Mira, it’s not good to joke about things like that. What do you mean by there will be a calamity? Is this just your intuition or do you know something we don’t?” Maria asked with a strange expression on her face.
Everyone else wanted to know this as well as they’ve never known Mira to be someone who jokes around.
Mira narrowed her eyes when she looked at the girls around her. She was contemplating whether or not she should explain things a bit more.
“Intuition. Either believe me or don’t, but I’m getting a feeling of death lingering over us. Though I guess this isn’t something children like you would understand.” Mira said indifferently.
What child? You’re the child! The others wanted to complain due to that comment, but that wasn’t the main point.
The disciples around her didn’t know how to react to this. Everything was too vague and they didn’t feel anything, but they didn’t dare to call Mira a liar. There had to be a hint of truth to what she said, but so what? What can they do with a feeling?
The only people who took this warning seriously were Maria and Dominique. Maria has personally experienced Mira’s intuition before and so far she’s never been wrong.
Dominique has also personally experienced this and it was just last night! Her face went pale and she started trembling when she heard what Mira said. How was some weak little girl like her supposed to live through something like a calamity?! Even if she had Mira’s protection, there was no guarantee that she would live. The more she thought about this the more she trembled, but all of a sudden she felt a hand on top of her head.
She stopped trembling and looked over to see Mira put her hand on her head. Mira started to walk away and she just subconsciously followed after her.
Maria also left the group and went back to the inn to rest. She wanted to get as much sleep as possible.
The others just stood there in a daze before going back to the inn as well.
Once Mira and Dominique made it to their room, Dominique immediately burst into tears and embraced Mira.
“I’m scared, Mira! Don’t scare me like that! I hope what you said isn’t true! I don’t want to part from you! I want to stay by your side, train with you, cultivate with you, go on adventures with you and so much more…” Dominique continued to cry her eyes out in Mira’s arms.
Mira felt a bit touched by these words and a murderous glint flashed through her eyes. She rubbed Dominique’s hair and let out a cold smile underneath her mask.
Mira brought her to the bed and she decided against cultivating tonight. She figured it’d be better to get a decent night’s sleep. The two of them eventually fell asleep together.
The next morning, Mira woke up with Dominique and went towards the arena with a solemn expression on her face.
After she met up with the rest of the other disciples at the Arena, it didn’t take long for the City Lord to announce the beginning of the next round.
“Welcome back everyone to another spectacular day! Today should be the last day of the duels as our last 16 contestants will face off against each other! These upcoming matches will surely be amazing as we’ll get to see the top disciples battle! Let’s begin!” The City Lord announced the beginning of the next round of duels.
Alexa, from the Battle Maiden Sect, and the arrogant man from the Immortal Sword Sect, Jax, were the first to battle.
Both of them had solemn expressions on their faces as neither one of them could afford to underestimate the other. They both had the same cultivation, they both used the sword, and they were both the top in their respective sects. They are both extremely skilled and talented as well.
“Begin!” The judge announced.
The two of them immediately dashed towards each other and started their onslaught from the very beginning.
The look of surprise flashed through Jax’s eyes, but it soon turned into excitement! It’s been a while since someone was able to keep up with him! He was also stronger than some of the Elders in his Sect so this was a pleasant surprise.
Alexa felt the same way except she wasn’t surprised. This was within her expectations for Jax to be this strong, but she still felt some excitement from fighting against a worthy opponent.
Jax’s slashes were fierce and brutal while Alexa’s strikes were swift and precise. Their strikes caused mini shockwaves to spread out and the audience could feel their hair and clothes wave in the wind.

While the battle was raging on between the top disciples in the Inter-Sect Tournament, in a hidden location hundreds of kilometers away there was an army of beasts and man alike seemingly waiting for something.
The men all had bloodshot eyes and blood was actually dripping from them as well. They almost looked like some kind of undead, but they were still alive. They were just unable to control their bodies.
The beasts were also getting impatient and are making a ruckus.
Suddenly 6 cloaked people appeared in front of them and the pressure they exerted was enough for everyone to shut up.
“Welcome brothers and sisters for this is a day of glory! We’ve gathered you all here today for one simple purpose! To kill! We must kill those savages in those Sects so that we can revive our Ancestor, our God! This is the highest honor and you should take pride in being able to take part in something so magnificent!”
“Our goal is the destruction of Lunar Fox City! Those ignorant fools are currently having a little tournament there and all of their strongest Elders and disciples will be there! It will be their honor to be slaughtered by us to aid in the resurrection of the Ancestor!”
“Our teleportation arrays have been completed and soon we will siege the city! Haha! Blades, come here!”
20 people then shot out from the army and kneeled in front of the 6 men.
“Lords, we are here!” They shouted.
“Good, good! Haha! This will be a tough battle and they will surely have many Core Formation Realm Experts, but we’ll be leaving those flies up to you. We will handle the City Lord and the various other strong Core Formation Realm experts. Our army will then storm the city and slaughter whoever they come across!” One of the 6 cloaked men instructed.
“According to your will, Lords!” The men named blades said with reverence.
“Very well! Let’s get this started!”
The million-strong army of man and beast soon had glowing lights surrounding them as the space around them started to light up.
It didn’t take long for everyone to vanish from their spot!
***
The fight between Alexa and Jax was still raging on as neither one of them wanted to back down. It seemed that they had just reached the climax of the fight as they both started using their elemental affinities and Sword Arts.
Alexa was actually starting to take the lead and the audience felt like she was about to win before they all felt an earthquake!
“Look up there! What’s that? It looks like a man?”
“When did someone appear above the city?”
“What’s up with that earthquake? Was that caused by the fight?”
The audience was confused, but they soon heard a hoarse voice filled with killing intent from the man in the sky.
“Haha! Filthy mortals! We’ve come to set you from your miserable lives for the sake of our Ancestor! But fret not for it is your glory to be a part of the process of reviving our Lord! Rejoice as you become the nourishment of our God! Hahaha!” The man in the sky laughed as they soon found more and more figures flying up into the sky.
The earthquake continued, but the citizens soon realized that this was no earthquake! It was the sound of Magical Beasts rushing towards their city!
“What the hell is happening?! Who’s that maniac in the sky?!”
“Run! Run! The city is under attack!”
“Mommy save me!”
The weaker people in the audience started to run away as the stronger ones were deciding on what they should do. Do they stay and fight or run away with the crowd? Can they even run away?
Mira was also thinking this as well. She held no attachment to this city and if she’s being honest doesn’t care if it’s destroyed. What does that have to do with her? But she soon started to frown. She felt like things might not be as simple as they seem. This might also be a good opportunity for Maria and Dominique to experience war.
While everyone was contemplating what they should do, they all heard the booming voice from the City Lord!
