Chapter 1284: Danger! Of Course It's Dangerous! That Beast Sovereign Is in Danger!

Arriving at Changwu City and meeting Qin Pengcheng, Su Yang got a general sense of that Spider Beast Sovereign's strength.

"Our people went deep into Tianzhu and learned that the Human-Faced Spider has already broken through to the Sovereign level — it's a Beast Sovereign in the truest sense!" Qin Pengcheng said in a grave tone. "However, after consecutively destroying more than seventy cities in Tianzhu, it ran into desperate resistance from Tianzhu's Beast-Tamer troops. The two sides have been locked in a stalemate for roughly half a year. I suspect it's looking for another breakthrough point."

"Tianzhu sounds really impressive!"

"Tianzhu isn't too shabby — don't underestimate them!" Qin Pengcheng said. "Even before the Great Catastrophe, their population base was already huge. Even though their losses were severe afterward, and they aren't united enough — there's a bit of a scattered-sand feel to them — when they face a common enemy, they can definitely put up a fairly decent fighting force."

"Mm!"

On this point, Su Yang also conceded.

No matter how disunited they were, faced with that Spider Beast Sovereign, Tianzhu's Beast Tamers should still band together.

Faced with a Sovereign-level Beast Sovereign, Tianzhu's Beast Tamers certainly had the strength to put up a fight.

"Recently, spider-type fierce beasts in Wanyang City have been growing more and more numerous — there have even been King-level Frost Dragon Spiders appearing. I suspect that Beast Sovereign may change its strategy and attack in our direction. Most importantly, among those spider-type fierce beasts, there are also fierce beasts of other races mixed in. That Human-Faced Spider Beast Sovereign hasn't just grown in strength — even its command ability has improved!" Qin Pengcheng said. "This Human-Faced Spider Beast Sovereign is no fool. Back when it suffered a setback at Wanyang City, it simply gave up attacking our Huaxia southwest and threw its full weight into attacking Tianzhu. Now that it's running into trouble fighting in Tianzhu, there's a chance it'll expand toward our southwest."

Su Yang nodded. "Very likely!"

Qin Pengcheng's analysis made a lot of sense, and many signs also indicated that the Human-Faced Spider Beast Sovereign was indeed moving its subordinate forces toward the southwest.

The recent stability of the southwest was also inseparable from Qin Pengcheng's foresight.

Being able to predict a crisis in advance and lay out the pieces ahead of time could reduce many casualties.

"I've already sent Captain Yao, leading five emergency squads and a number of Star Glory-level experts from the Special Operations Group, to the Western District."

"I'll head home first today, and tomorrow I'll bring people to take a look!" Su Yang said. "Coincidentally, I've been feeling lately that my strength is about to break through — a battle might just push it up another notch!"

Hearing Su Yang's words, Qin Pengcheng's mouth twitched instinctively.

As Su Yang's old superior, he knew that line all too well!

"If you really are about to break through, then go ahead!"

With Su Yang so eager to share his burden, Qin Pengcheng naturally couldn't refuse.

He also didn't want to see the Emergency Brigade suffer heavy losses.

"Then I'll be off first!"

"Go on!"

Qin Pengcheng smiled.

The moment Zhang Xiuru saw her son come home, her face lit up with joy. Seeing Sovereign Jiazi and Xia Na, she greeted them with a smile as well.

But once Su Yang and the other two had stepped inside, Su Yang noticed his mother still standing at the doorway, peering outside.

"Mom, what are you looking at?"

Zhang Xiuru asked, puzzled, "Where's Mengyun?"

"She hasn't come back…"

"What?" The moment Zhang Xiuru heard Liu Mengyun hadn't come back, her tone was full of displeasure. "Why didn't Mengyun come back with you?"

Su Yang braced himself and explained, "She has official duties — she's still at Bingcheng in the Northern Military Department!"

"You brat — you come home and don't even bring your wife along!"

Sovereign Jiazi and Xia Na sat on the sofa, heads lowered, holding back their laughter as they watched Su Yang make a fool of himself.

After Zhang Xiuru accepted that her daughter-in-law hadn't come back, she began asking about her grandson again.

"Su Yang, tell me — is Mengyun pregnant yet?"

"Mom, there are outsiders here!"

Zhang Xiuru: "What outsiders are Sovereign Jiazi and Xia Na?"

Sovereign Jiazi hurriedly replied, "Auntie is right — we're not outsiders!"

Even Xia Na nodded repeatedly.

They were Su Yang's trusted confidants — how could they count as outsiders?

"Tell me quickly — don't change the subject!"

Su Yang could only say softly, "That child… not yet!"

"You've been married this long — why is there still no child?" Zhang Xiuru said worriedly. "There shouldn't be a problem with you, right?"
