A-9 City, the Cicada-Holding Directorate, the Strategic Hall.

As a Fourth-Grade official, Yang Ling barely qualified for a seat here. He sat behind the White Bone God Lord, alongside Zhu Xiu and the others.

Their faction represented the Myriad Affairs Bureau.

Besides them, A-9 City's core forces had also assembled today.

At best, the Ghost King Bee Beast King was equivalent to a top Middle Fourth-Grade expert. Against these Upper Fourth-Grade Grandmasters, it wouldn't stand a chance.

The assembled powerhouses were reporting on the beast tide.

They had evidently returned from outposts across the region.

From their accounts, Yang
