Urban Immortal Doctor Master
Chapter 198 - 198 198 Tang Feng makes a move

198: 198: Tang Feng makes a move 198: 198: Tang Feng makes a move Cultivators had made a move, but the losses were still heavy; some cultivators simply couldn’t withstand a blow from a spiritual beast, especially the flying spiritual beasts.

Fast, powerful, and extremely ferocious, some cultivators were smashed to pieces by a claw before they could even react.

The sight was too gruesome to bear.

Yet in the face of such adversaries, the cultivators did not shrink back, which made Tang Feng develop a favorable impression of the Cultivation Sects of Southern Sichuan.

Those who truly had the wellbeing of the masses at heart feared nothing, even when faced with the most terrible of beasts.

Tang Feng took action, his sword rising and lighting up the sky.

Sword Qi slashed across the heavens like bolts of thunder, toppling spiritual beasts one after another.

The pressure on the cultivators immediately lessened.

At first, they thought the powerful newcomer was a senior from their own sects, but after realizing the strength of the cultivator, they knew they were mistaken.

With the addition of such a strong figure, their morale rallied in an instant.

“You take care of the fierce beasts in the city, the flying spiritual beasts are mine,” Tang Feng’s voice wasn’t loud, but it spread throughout the entire city.

With someone capable of handling the powerful beasts, these cultivators naturally chose to obey.

They did not know which sect’s elder this was, but he was incredibly strong.

Watching the spiritual beasts continuously fall from the sky, these cultivators looked up at Tang Feng’s figure with admiration.

In times of crisis, people really needed someone to lead the way.

Only then could they exhibit greater fighting strength.

Seeing that the prolonged attack was ineffective and encountering a human powerhouse like Tang Feng, the spiritual beasts slowly retreated to wait for another opportunity.

The one issuing commands was a Fourth Grade spiritual beast, equivalent to a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm.

As it retreated, it gave Tang Feng a deep look.

That gaze was quite interesting, as if it was mocking Tang Feng, curious to see how long he and the others could hold out.

Tang Feng landed on the ground; Chuan City was temporarily safe, but since the area was large, it was not entirely secure.

Therefore, he went to look for the city’s Chief or any other authoritative leader immediately.

Before long, a military police vehicle brought several of Chuan City’s leaders to Tang Feng.

“Greetings, Immortal,” the old men in their fifties and sixties greeted him with both respect and awe.

Here was a legendary figure, indeed an Immortal with a noble presence that even made these long-standing leaders feel pressured, their breathing somewhat difficult.

“The leaders need not be nervous.

I have a suggestion for you to discuss its feasibility.

My suggestion is that you gather all the survivors in one place.

By doing so, the area will be made smaller, and it will be easier to mount a defense or conduct a rescue.

At this time, psychological counseling is also essential,” Tang Feng said.

“The Immortal is right.

We agree with this view.

We will soon have people search throughout the city and bring everyone to one place,” said the Chief of Chuan City.

“Good.

Rest assured, for the time being, this city is safe.

At least until I leave, those beasts outside won’t dare to rashly make a move.

But I can’t stay for long, so you must act quickly,” Tang Feng said.

“We understand.”

The leaders left, somewhat reassured.

The entire city looked as though it had been through a great battle, utterly in ruin, a stark contrast to its former prosperity.

As if the apocalypse had struck, it was a travesty.

The heavens do not act out of sentimentality, treating all things as straw dogs; it’s pitiful and lamentable.

Ordinary people have no choice but to leave their fate to the heavens in the face of such disasters.

This was just the beginning.

There were more serious issues to come.

The city was besieged; where would food come from?

With nearly a hundred million people in the city, all those mouths to feed, the city’s food supply might only last half a month without resupply—the consequences too dreadful to imagine.

Tang Feng had considered this too, but he had no good solutions.

At this moment, the leaders of Chuan City were also extremely worried.

Though they had managed to make contact with the outside, almost every city was in a similar state, and smaller cities had been completely annihilated.

It would be fortunate if half of Huaxia’s initial population remained.

Not to mention food.

Having no other choice, they had to turn to powerful Immortals like Tang Feng for a solution, since they had saved humanity, they would naturally not stand by and watch people die.

Tang Feng could only helplessly shake his head; he was powerful, but he couldn’t conjure up food out of thin air.

However, he thought of the Second Layer of his Foundation and believed that perhaps there might be a nice surprise.

“I can give it a try, however, the area I mark off can’t simply be accessed by anyone.

Arrange for some guards, and I will mark out a trial field to experiment with planting something.

But I can’t guarantee the outcome at the moment, let’s see if you all have the fortune for it,” Tang Feng resigned himself to spending more time on this matter.

In fact, he was deeply worried about Tang Wushuang right now.

Once he finished with everything here, he would fly straight to the south.

In Chuan City, the Tang Family had indeed made significant efforts and killed quite a few Fierce Beasts, contributing their part.

They had to do these things; otherwise, they would completely lose their credibility in Southern Sichuan.

Even though the Tang Sect took action, their role seemed much smaller given the involvement of cultivators.

However, the Tang Sect still held the management rights to a region.

Many common people even came to the vicinity of the Tang Sect, hoping for protection, which the Tang Sect accepted.

With these people, there was labor available.

The area managed by the Tang Sect covered half a county and could support tens of thousands of people.

This land was also fertile.

The upcoming spring plowing would rely on these common folk.

Hence, no matter the status, everyone within the Tang Sect area had the hope of receiving a plot of land.

In the days to come, this land would be their primary guarantee for survival.

The people who came here were naturally overjoyed, but it wasn’t without cost; after the harvest, they would have to give a certain amount to the Tang Sect.

Of course, in these precarious times, having a meal to eat was already quite good.

This was the helplessness of ordinary people; overnight, they had returned to a feudal society.

They knew it wasn’t just the Tang Sect doing this; many families like the Tang Sect were busy claiming land, taking control of their territories.

Only the major cities were still in the hands of the government.

Of course, even though these families controlled some areas, they still had to follow the leadership of the government.

This was an absolute exception.

Although the catastrophe had come quickly, humanity’s response was not slow.

With some small cities vanishing, the larger cities began orderly reconstruction with the help of Cultivators.

Some factories resumed operation, and systems like satellites, electricity, and telephones also started to recover incrementally.

The day after the Spiritual Beasts attacked the cities, humanity began to consolidate effective resources, which was incredibly impressive.

Of course, this was just the beginning.

Every day hereafter would face attacks by Spiritual Beasts, and cities could be destroyed at any moment, but at least there was hope.

And the meat of Fierce Beasts and Spiritual Beasts helped alleviate food shortages.

Some powerful organizations also emerged.

Beast Hunting Teams sprung up in every city.

And the Beast Hunting Guild was established in quick succession.

Every Beast Hunting Team had to be certified by the Guild to acquire weapons.

After hunting, they could trade their catches for money, goods, and even high-end residential areas.

That’s right, the world now seemed like an apocalypse.

If it weren’t for the emergence of powerful cultivators, perhaps the world would have been wiped clean by these Spiritual Beasts and Fierce Beasts within a few days.

Though humanity was unfortunate, they were also lucky; because of this world-ending crisis, the major Cultivation Sects began to accept commoners as disciples.

Tang Feng hadn’t expected that this anomaly not only restored a significant amount of Spiritual Energy on Earth but also gave commoners the opportunity to grow stronger.

The grand era of cultivation had thus arrived.
