Chapter 20
C20 – The People from the Tan Family
Lian Ning used the telescope to look in the direction of the old city. Ten miles away, he finally saw the figures of the Elder of the Tan family and the disciples.
The three people in the lead should be the Elder of the Tan family at the Energy Refining Level 10. Behind them were thirty elite disciples at the Energy Refining Level 5 and above.
Lian Ning estimated that they would arrive here in less than half an hour.
On a hill ten miles away, the Third Elder, Tan Nu, handed the communication device in his hand to the other two elders and said, “Look, the location shown on the communication device is ten miles ahead. According to the map, it should be the location of the old city farm.”
“That’s right. Let’s hurry over and kill all the Ferocious Beasts there. Let’s go back and hand in the mission.” Fifth Elder, Tan Chuo, frowned slightly.
He did not believe that someone had killed Tan Tianming. With the reputation of the Tan family in the Shenbin Base, he did not believe that someone would dare to provoke the Tan family.
Moreover, even if someone had killed Tan Tianming, it was impossible for them to stay at the farm. Even if they rushed over, they probably wouldn’t be able to discover anything.
Although the Eighth Elder, Tan Hao, did not speak, he also nodded.
“The target is ten miles ahead. Increase our speed and try to reach there in twenty minutes.” The Third Elder, Tan Nu, shouted to the thirty disciples behind him.
“Yes.”

The disciples had been on the road for more than a day. Although they were exhausted, no one dared to raise any objections.
In less than twenty minutes, the three elders and thirty elite disciples arrived at the farm in the old city.
After entering the farm, they found the corpses of Tan Tianming and two bodyguards.
The three of them were killed by a sword, and from the sword marks on their bodies, they could tell that they were killed by the Tan family’s Thirteen Butterfly Swords.
This meant that the people who killed the three of them were from the Tan family, and there was only one person who had the ability to do so, and that was Yu Xiao.
Although Yu Xiao was not a member of the Tan family, she was only a servant of the Tan family. However, Yu Xiao’s talent was excellent, and she had also made many contributions to the Tan family, which was why she was able to obtain the Thirteen Butterfly Swords.
But why did Yu Xiao want to kill Tan Tianming and the other two?
Just as the three elders were puzzled, a disciple suddenly shouted in a panic.
“It’s bad, look outside! It’s a beast tide!”
When the three elders and the other disciples looked outside the farm, their scalps went numb.
At a glance, there were at least six hundred Ferocious Beasts. It could really be considered a small beast tide.
This was because when Lian Ning found that the people from the Tan family had entered the farm, he ordered the eight Ferocious Beasts that were mixed in the group of Ferocious Beasts to rush towards the farm.
When the Ferocious Beasts saw humans, they would instinctively want to devour them, not to mention that this was an organized operation.
When the Third Elder, Tan Zhong, saw the small beast tide outside, he couldn’t help but frown.
It was unreasonable! It was impossible! Everyone had just entered the farm, and they were surrounded by Ferocious Beasts. There must be someone operating in this place.
However, at this time, more than six hundred Ferocious Beasts had completely surrounded the farm, and they were still rushing towards them.
There was only one exit in the farm, and no one could escape. They could only fight to the death.
However, what if the person behind the scenes made a move?
The Third Elder, Tan Zhong, had no choice but to deal with the Ferocious Beasts in front of him first, and then talk about other things.
“Don’t panic, all disciples listen up. Everyone, form an arrow formation with your backs against each other and think of a way to rush out. We will lead everyone out.”
Very quickly, the disciples of the Tan family formed an arrow formation under the guidance of the elders and welcomed the group of Ferocious Beasts.
Lian Ning leaned on the tree and nodded. He had to admit that although this method was simple, it was the most effective. This way, they could guarantee that their rear was safe.
All the disciples were at least at the Energy Refining Level 5. They were only facing a Level 1 Ferocious Beast, and there were three elders leading them. They helped the disciples with the greatest pressure, so it was very likely that they could rush out.
Once they rushed out, the beast tide would not be a threat to them. Lian Ning was indeed not a match for the people of the Tan family alone.
However, how could Lian Ning let them succeed?
