Faced with everyone's dissuasion, Ding Xisheng simply couldn't listen. He now very urgently wanted to verify his guess.

Although he didn't know whether the final result would be good or bad for Da Yuan.

"No need to say more. Pass the order and tell the Kundi Guards to pack up and prepare to leave immediately!"

Seeing that they could not persuade Ding Xisheng, everyone had to leave and convey the order.

After just a quarter of an hour, five hundred Kundi guards escorted the carriage towards Moyang City.

Ding Xisheng arrived at the destination in just one day, covering a distance of three hundred miles.

When they arrived at Moyang City, they were all stunned by the scene before them.

Because the situation was a hundred times worse than what the prefect of Qinchuan had expected.

The official road was covered with dense footprints of wild animals, and the entire land seemed to have been plowed.

Unlike Qinchuan Prefecture, the walls of Moyang City are made of rammed earth with yellow mud and gravel, which is far from enough to withstand the impact of the beast tide.

At this moment, the gates and walls of Moyang City have completely collapsed, and the buildings in the city have also collapsed, turning it into a devastated city ruins.

The entire Moyang City seemed to have been trampled into countless pieces by a prehistoric giant. More than 200,000 people were killed and no one survived.

A city that was once bustling and full of vitality was ruthlessly wiped out by a beast disaster.

"Wow--!"

Some officials accompanying the group smelled the strong smell of blood in the wind and couldn't help but vomit.

They had never seen such a hellish scene before, and they were so nervous and frightened that their legs were shaking.

"We're late."

The leading soldier who commanded the five hundred Kundi guards tightly grasped his weapons, his eyes were red and he gritted his teeth.

Although they were sad in their hearts, they also understood that even if they were in Moyang City, they could not stop the beast tide and would only become one of the wronged souls.

Ding Xisheng did not have much time to mourn for the people of Moyang City, but instead commanded the team to move forward.

"My Lord, you are crazy!"

At this time, an official couldn't help but speak out, almost shouting out loud.

In the past, such an act of insubordination would have been enough to get him fired.

However, the tragic situation in Moyang City was right before their eyes. What they should do now was to return to the capital in time to report the situation and let the emperor make the final decision, rather than going any further.

"This beast disaster is of great importance. It is no longer something we can decide. We must return to the capital to report to the emperor immediately."

someone said.

Ding Xisheng thought for a moment and replied, "If that's the case, then you should take this news back to the capital and report it to the emperor."

After saying that, he sent half of the Kundi guards to escort them back.

Everyone understood immediately when they saw it, and at the same time wondered if Ding Xisheng was crazy. It was obvious that he would not give up until he found out the reason.

"Master Ding, what are you doing? How can our mortal bodies stop the beast tide? Why do you want to go deeper?!"

Ding Xisheng did not say anything, but ordered someone to bring pen and ink and write a letter.

After binding the letter, he handed it to one of the officials and said solemnly: "This letter must be delivered to the emperor. I must investigate the beast disaster. This matter concerns the future safety of the Yuan Dynasty and cannot be neglected. You should leave quickly."

After saying that, he jumped on his horse.

He pulled the reins and said to the commander of the Kundi Guards: "I will not force you to wait for escort. If you are afraid, you can escort other adults back."

When the commander saw that Ding Xisheng, who was usually steady, had such an expression, he realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Master Ding, what are you talking about? As long as you continue to go deeper, we will definitely protect your safety with our lives and will never retreat."

Ding Xisheng nodded slightly and said, "Send a hundred Kundi Guards to escort the adults back to the capital. Don't delay them on the road for too long."

After saying this, he gently squeezed the horse's belly, and the steed under his crotch immediately galloped away, continuing to track in the direction left behind by the beast tide.

Except for the one hundred Kundi guards who stayed behind to escort the officials, the rest followed Ding Xisheng's footsteps.

After they left, the remaining officials looked at each other. They didn't know why Ding Xisheng cared so much about this matter.

"What are you waiting for? Lord Ding said not to delay too long. Why don't you set off immediately?"

The official carrying the letter turned his horse around and left in the opposite direction of Ding Xisheng.

...

half a month later.

The dusty group was still tracking the beast tide.

Along the way, they discovered many villages and small towns destroyed by beast disasters. The tragic scene of Moyang City was played out before their eyes again and again, but they were powerless to do anything.

At this moment, everyone was resting in the camp, and fatigue was visible on everyone's face.

"Sir, we have been tracking for so long but still haven't found any trace of the beast tide. I think they might be hiding in the mountains."

After all, Xipingzhou belongs to the south, which is mostly mountainous and steep, making it the most suitable place for birds and beasts to hide.

Ding Xisheng looked disheveled and his eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that he had not slept well during this period.

If it weren't for his cultivation, he would have been seriously ill from the long days of running around day and night.

Even so, Ding Xisheng still did not slow down, and the words of the Kundiwei commander also seemed to persuade him to give up.

Faced with his subordinates' words, Ding Xisheng still did not speak, and he still insisted in his heart.

The fortunes started to rise and the dynasty was established, and then beast disasters occurred everywhere.

All of this is exactly as recorded in ancient books, without any difference.

If he guessed correctly, the next step would be...

At this moment, a roar that shook the sky suddenly came from the dense forest ahead, and countless birds and beasts were frightened and fled in panic.

The next moment, on the right side of Ding Xisheng and his companions, about a few miles away, a cloud of dust suddenly rose up.

One of the soldiers was very good at martial arts. He jumped onto the treetop with a few taps of his toes and looked into the distance.

"My lord, it's a beast tide!!"

Hearing the frightened voices of the soldiers overhead, everyone also panicked.

After searching everywhere for a long time, I finally found the beast I had been looking for, and it turned out to be right next to me.

As the beast tide gradually approached, the ground beneath their feet shook violently, and the horses snorted rhythmically, appearing very uneasy and restless.

"Master Ding, let's retreat quickly before the beast tide approaches!"

The commander of Kundiwei urged in an anxious tone.

Ding Xisheng swept away his exhausted expression, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he said, "Retreat, for fuck's sake, I've been looking for this for so long and finally found it, how can I easily retreat?"

After saying that, he jumped up from the ground, mounted his horse, and galloped towards the direction of the beast tide. The rest of the Kundi guards were stunned when they saw this.

But they didn't think much about it and hurriedly mounted their horses to chase after them.

If this minister died outside, he and his party would face the emperor's wrath when they returned.
