The Beast Control sect commenced the attack after all the members who would be participating were ready. These disciples of the Beast Control sect then established their dominion over the collected monsters and mastered their control over them. Then all of them serged toward the Nine Rings City like an avalanche.

Gu Sangjiyuan was leading them from the front. He was standing on top of the large crow and he was looking like a handsome immortal. Seeing his suave looks, all the disciples were filled with confidence, especially the female disciples.

The large city gates were not an obstacle for him. His pet crow flew over the gates and the walls. Then this crow monster sent many wind blades flying towards the soldiers guarding the gates. All of them died instantly without any resistance. At that time, an enraged sound came from the centre of the city.

"Dog Gu, today I'm going to kill you."

It was the supreme elder of the Hell's Paradise sect. He got some rumours that, the beast control sect was planning to attack one of their valuable cities. So he sent many of their elders in the cities that could be attacked. And he himself came to this city as the city leader was his own student.

The luck of Beast Control sect was quite bad, as if they had chosen any other city, then with Gu Songjiyuan on the lead, they would have been able to easily destroy any of those cities, even with several elders of the Hell's Paradise sect defending it.

But the supreme elder of the Hell's Paradise sect, Kun Luohuang was a super powerhouse who had almost reached the peak of the grandmaster realm. So he was definitely stronger than Gu Songjiyuan in one on one battle. So, with him here, the process of destroying the Nine Rings City became ten times harder.

Kun Luohuang started to fight against Gu Songjiyuan and his A rank monster crow. He was able to easily suppress both of them but it was not possible for him to defeat him in a short amount of time.

So Gu Songjiyuan tried to send his other weaker tamed monsters to kill the citizens and to destroy the city. Seeing that furious Kun Luohuang blocked 13 more of his tamed monsters but 7 other monsters were still able to get past him and started to wreak havoc.

At this exact moment, Lin Yan and Xiang Xiaofang reached the front of the gate where the battle was taking place. Lin Yan did not have the strength to participate in the high level battles so he left Xiaofang's side and went to the side of the low level battles to assist them in saving the innocent citizens from weaker monsters.

This was the first time when he faced a situation where most of the combatants were generally stronger than him. So even though he wanted to do more in this battle, he did not have the ability to do so. For that reason, his determination to not feel so worthless became stronger.

On the other hand, Xiang Xiaofang was having a very easy time. Even though his strength had fallen from his peak, he was still overwhelmingly stronger than most grandmaster realm powerhouses. So killing those monsters who were barely A rank were no big deal for him.

Just as he was feeling a bit bored, Gu Songjiyuan noticed him. With the ease this unknown man was able to defeat and kill his tamed monsters, he judged this person to be at least as strong as him, just a little bit weaker. So he shouted -

"Fellow master, I'm Gu Songjiyuan, an elder from the Beast Control sect. I promise that our sect will give you a satisfying reward if you help us to defeat this damned old man."

Kun Luohuang had also noticed this person and also judged this person to have strength close to his own. So when Gu Songjiyuan shouted his offer, he also hurriedly gave his own offer.

"Fellow master, I'm Kun Luohuang, the grand elder of the Hell's Paradise sect. I promise our great sect would be able to give you a better reward than what the Beast Control sect could give you. Just help me subjugate or kill this dog of the Beast Control sect."

Hearing their offer, Xiang Xiaofang was not moved at all. According to him, both of these people in front of him were too weak and not worth his attention. Even though they would be one of the best among the Grandmaster ranks, they were strong only because their level was higher. They himself were not super strong among their own rank. So they were beneath Xiang Xiaofang's attention. So he disinterestly said -

"I'm not in the mood to interfere between the fight of two grandmasters, so I will not interfere in your fight. But I will save the common citizens from hurt and that's all."

After saying that he instantly left and started to defend the common population.

...

The city lord of the Nine Rings City was named Xu Hansi. He was also a grandmaster but he had just reached this realm and for that reason he could be considered weakest among the grandmaster realm powerhouses.

So when his teacher, the supreme elder Kun Luohuang blocked Gu Songjiyuan, he heaved a sigh of relief. Against a super strong grandmaster like Gu Songjiyuan, he would not be able to last even 10 rounds, let alone defend the city from him.

But unfortunately, the Beast Control sect had brought one more A rank beast other than the tamed beast of Gu Songjiyuan. It was a large scorpion with six pincers and three stings. And even though this monster was not a super strong one among the A ranks, he was still quite strong.

And as Xu Hansi was the only grandmaster realm cultivator other than his teacher so the responsibility to defeat this monster fell on his hand. But he was definitely weaker than this monster. So he needed a special plan to defeat this scorpion monster.

So, he used an array disk that his teacher had given him in order to save his life from higher level enemies, and trapped the beast in it. Then he started to attack the immobile monster non stop in order to kill it over time.

The array formation recorded in the disk was "Heaven Sealing Formation" and it was super duper strong. So the Scorpion monster was unable to get out of the formation at all and Xu Hansi was doing a good job of hurting it.

But just as it looked like he was going to win using his OP teacher's gift, a shadowy figure suddenly appeared behind him. This figure did not waste any time and thrust a poisonous dagger through his back.

Xu Hansi caughed up blood and immediately understood that the poison was very fatal he would not be able to resist it at all. But the shadowy figure did not just stop after poisoning him and to make sure that he was truly dead, he cut off his head too when Xu Hansi was too weak to resist.

This shadowy figure was the most mysterious monster that Gu Songjiyuan had tamed. He used this monster, who could hide in the shadows and had excellent stealth ability very rarely. And today he gave this monster a mission to kill the acting city leader.

This monster was quite intelligent and it waited for Xu Hansi to tire himself out by attacking the scorpion monster with tough defence over and over again. And just when Xu Hansi was on the verge of winning and his guard was completely down, this crafty monster attacked and even used a very strong poison that had the ability to trouble a Saint.

And just like that, the city leader of the Nine Rings City died with a lot of grievances. And as soon as he died Kun Luohuang noticed it and his eyes turned blood red. He was so angry that he lost his mind.

Actually, Kun Luohuang had a very insane fighting style where he always hurt himself to hurt his enemy even more. But as Gu Songjiyuan was weaker than him even with the help of his summons, Kun Luohuang did not think that he was worthy of him risking his life to defeat him. But now as he got mad, all that thought disappeared and he erupted with his full strength.

Kun Luohuang using his full strength was very scary and finished his battle with Gu Songjiyuan within just a few minutes. Gu Sangjiyuan was able to barely run away with his life intact but 12 of his summons died including his A rank monster crow. Xiang Xiaofang had also killed six more Gu Songjiyuan's tamed monsters so he only had 3 of them left now.

As Xiang Xiaofang and Lin Yan did their best to protect the common citizens, the amount of casualty on their side was low. But most of the martial artists affiliated with the Hell's Paradise sect died in this battle. Many high and mighty immortal cultivators of the sect also died easily. So overall, Beast Control sect won the battle after incurring heavy loss on their own side.

And just like that, the trouble of the Nine Rings City came to an unfortunate end.
