Chapter 172: Request for Help!!!

Nan Shou Ren chose the correct method.

Although he knew that Su Yu alone restraining a Star Ancestor Master was extremely dangerous.

But compared to the overall situation, the most important thing now is still to deliver the news to Hope City.

Only in this way can we avoid the greatest casualties.

As the son of the Southern King, Nan Shou Ren may not be as good as Su Yu, but in terms of the big picture, he is also very steady.

Moreover, even if they went to help Su Yu, they would not even be able to.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to deliver the news to Hope City.

Although the others were somewhat unwilling, especially the two examinees who had just entered the Organ Tempering Realm.

If it weren't for Su Yu leading them to form an independent team, they probably would not have been able to break through the Organ Tempering Realm.

But there was no choice; everyone could only suppress their inner grief and indignation and rush toward Hope City.

Now, it's a race against time!

At this moment, in Hope City.

Countless examinees stood at their posts, striving to earn points.

Especially Zhang Xiaobai and Beichen, those monsters.

Now Hope City is calm and tranquil; they even directly take the initiative, selecting missions and earning points through completing missions.

Time flies by; they must earn enough points within twenty-four hours to guarantee themselves an advantage in the third-stage examination.

"As it turns out, the Myriad Races Battlefield isn't that terrifying; an hour or two have passed, and aside from some scouts of the Myriad Races powerhouses near Hope City, no major incidents have occurred."

The viewers in the live stream also said cheerfully.

"Yeah, I thought the Myriad Races Battlefield was some dangerous place, but now it seems that aside from occasional attacks by the Myriad Races, it's just like our side normally."

Everyone laughed and said.

However, at that moment, a hoarse voice sounded at the gate of Hope City.

"First Scout Squad, Fifth Division has an important report; we need to see the Marquis of Peace!"

The voice carried weariness, as if they had just experienced something major.

Everyone looked over.

All that could be seen was in a certain picture.

At the gate of Hope City, dust-covered figures appeared one after another at the gate.

"Huh, isn't that Nan Shou Ren? Weren't they on an A-rank mission? How did they come back in just over an hour?"

"Yeah, that's not right—where is Su Yu in the team?"

At this moment, a sharp-eyed viewer noticed something off.

Because the team only had nine members!

Su Yu was not present here!

For a moment, everyone's thoughts began to waver.

"Where did Su Yu go?"

One question after another appeared among the viewers in the live stream.

And in Hope City.

Chen Xingyu's figure appeared, his face bearing a hint of solemnity as he looked at Nan Shou Ren and the others, speaking in a deep voice.

"What happened? Where did Su Yu go?"

Chen Xingyu, seeing that Su Yu's figure was missing from the team, suddenly felt a hint of unease.

However, Nan Shou Ren shook his head, stared directly at Chen Xingyu, and said.

"Captain, the matter is of great importance; I need to see the Marquis of Peace!"

Upon hearing Nan Shou Ren's words, and thinking of Su Yu's absence from the team, Chen Xingyu's heart tightened at once, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Whatever it is, you can tell me the same; also, why didn't Su Yu come back with you!"

As a veteran of the former Slay Dragon Army, he still cared deeply about Su Yu's life and death.

Even if Su Yu has not yet been recognized by the Slay Dragon Army, he is still a disciple of the commander; we cannot afford any mishap.

Nan Shou Ren stubbornly looked at Chen Xingyu and spoke in a deep voice.

"If I don't see the Marquis of Peace, I won't say anything."

Nan Shou Ren was extremely stubborn; he knew very well that the news Su Yu brought back was of immense importance.

Moreover, for the enemy to be preparing an invasion of Hope City at this time, it is inevitable that there are traitors within Hope City.

Even though Hope City has launched a full-scale broadcast that can quickly reach the entirety of Daxia, Nan Shou Ren still dares not take that risk.

Only after seeing the Marquis of Peace will he speak.

Chen Xingyu's brow furrowed slightly; just as he was about to say something, a sonorous voice came.

"This Marquis is here; feel free to speak!"

All that could be seen was the Marquis of Peace, who had at some point appeared on the city wall, hands clasped behind his back, gazing at Nan Shou Ren and the others.

The Marquis of Peace, seeing that Su Yu's figure was missing from the team, felt a little doubtful but not overly worried.

Those tokens crafted by the Martial King not only can identify points, but also have a specially important effect.

They can detect fluctuations in vitality.

They are somewhat similar to life tablets.

The Marquis of Peace had earlier checked Su Yu's vital signs; aside from some minor fluctuations, there were no major ones.

Thus he also felt relieved.

Nan Shou Ren, seeing the Marquis of Peace appear on the city wall, also felt his heart ease a little.

He then spoke quickly.

"Reporting to Marquis Peace, during the mission of the First Scout Team Fifth Detachment, we discovered the Myriad Races Army is about to use the Wolf Tribe as a stepping stone to invade Hope City; please, Marquis Peace, swiftly deploy!"

As soon as those words were spoken, the entire city wall fell silent in an instant.

Even the livestream room stared blankly at Nan Shou Ren's figure.

The pupils of Marquis Peace and Chen Xingyu constricted sharply, their expressions instantly turning tense.

Marquis Peace stared fixedly at Nan Shou Ren and spoke in a deep voice.

"Are you certain? If the news is false, you will be dealt with by military law; even if you are the son of the Southern King, there are no exceptions!"

Starting from the third stage, Marquis Peace learned of these heavenly prodigies' information; as the son of the Southern King, Nan Shou Ren naturally paid some attention as well.

Nan Shou Ren gave a bitter smile.

"Captain of the Fifth Detachment, Su Yu risked his life to enter Wolf City, obtained the news and relayed it to us; now he is being hunted by the Wolf City Lord—how dare we speak nonsense!"

In an instant, a powerful surge suddenly arose on Marquis Peace's body.

"He dares!"

Marquis Peace let out an angry roar, and a thick killing aura instantly spread from his body.

At this moment, the livestream room instantly exploded in an uproar.

"Hiss! Su Yu is being chased by the Wolf City Lord? That Wolf City Lord seems to be a Star Ancestor Master!"

"Then doesn't that mean the news they brought back is true? The Myriad Races Army is about to invade Hope City!"

"Damn it, now is exactly the time for the practical combat exam; yet at this very moment the Myriad Races Army is invading Hope City—there's something fishy! There must be something fishy!"

Not only did the livestream room erupt in an uproar, but even the headquarters of the Martial Artists Association in Hope City instantly exploded in an uproar.

"Chen Xingyu!"

Marquis Peace let out an angry roar.

"Present!"

Chen Xingyu's face was solemn as he straightened his chest and looked toward Marquis Peace.

Marquis Peace spoke in a deep voice.

"Swiftly launch reconnaissance; all scouts deploy fully, and by the way search for Su Yu's whereabouts."

"Yes!"

"Garrison Squad!"

"Present!"

"Immediately activate first-level combat readiness; mobilize all forces!"

"Yes!"

Marquis Peace issued the orders, then appeared at the center of Hope City.

He returned to the office, took out a piece of jade, and without hesitation crushed it.

Instantly, a light curtain appeared before Marquis Peace.

"What's the matter?"

A cold voice came from the light curtain.

Marquis Peace spoke in a deep voice.

"The Myriad Races attack; Hope City... requests aid!"
