SSS rank Mother-In-Law to an Invincible Family

And these are the Shadow guards who are scattered all around the city, monitoring everyone and everything that goes on.

These Shadow guards have been specially trained to be experts in stealth and observation.

Their ability to move without detection is unparalleled.

They have the ability to blend into their surroundings and hide their presence, making them the perfect spies and scouts.

They can also detect hidden dangers, making them invaluable assets to any organization or force.

In addition to their skills, the Shadow guards are also armed with deadly weapons, such as daggers and throwing knives, making them formidable opponents in close-quarters combat.

Yan Yuehua deployed two whole squads of these Shadow guards, each responsible for an area around the city and the gathering itself.

However, no one knew the exact details of the deployment except some powerful cultivators with strong spiritual senses and the top brass from the Xu family.

The Shadow guards were not the only ones keeping watch over the city.

There were also several powerful guards from both the Xu family and the Xuzhong Empire stationed in the city, ready to step in if necessary.

Behind the delegates, a group of young monsters followed.
Stay tuned to empire

These were the younger generation who had not fully mastered their human transformation abilities and could only partially transform themselves.

However, they still looked remarkably human, albeit with some unusual features.

The group was a mix of various races, each having its own unique characteristics and physiology.

The group consisted of a wide variety of species, including wolves, tigers, bears, and even a few dragons.

Despite their differences, they all shared a few common traits.

They were all brought here to see how humans are and to compare themselves with human prodigies.

Many believed that humans were a weak race, and they wanted to prove that monsters were superior.

But as soon as the younger generation saw the humans, they knew they were wrong.

This was because they could feel the breaths of the people looking toward them, most of whom were citizens, as the delegates from different forces were not present here, being busy roaming the city.

However, the citizens caught them off guard as most of them had cultivation realms above the Foundation realm, which alone was shocking enough.

The young monsters could even sense the powerful and oppressive aura coming from the cultivators around the city.

This alone made the younger generation understand the truth behind the rumors.

"What a powerful city."

"How is this possible?

They are only humans!"

"I thought humans were weak, but it looks like I was wrong."

"Me too. But I didn't expect them to be this strong."

"Me neither."

As they were speaking, the elder from the fox clan looked toward them and smiled.

"Seems like you kids have realized the truth now. The human race is not weak; no, it is just the opposite. They are a race full of potential and talent.

Their future is limitless, and they can reach the highest peaks if given the right chance.

So, never underestimate the humans."

"We understand, Elder."

"Good, then keep that in mind, and never forget it."

After that, the younger generation became silent, each lost in their thoughts as they processed the new information.

They had always been taught that humans were a weak race, but the reality was different.

Their elders' words echoed in their minds, reminding them to never underestimate the human race again.

This was not a problem limited to the young monsters.

It was the same for the young cultivators of the various factions.

"The Xu family is not to be underestimated."

"Yeah, the number of people they have gathered here is no joke."

"Even if you combine the various factions, they wouldn't even make up half of the population here."

"That is correct."

"I wonder if the Xu family can support all of them?"

"Well, they must have since they have a massive amount of land and resources here."

"Yeah, and from the looks of it, the city has been designed for a huge population."

"I agree."

"So, what do you think the purpose of the gathering is?"

"Not sure, but it will have something to do with the insect attack that happened before."

"Hmm, you are probably right."

"But what is the point? Are they going to start recruiting the people who come here or something?"

"That is definitely a possibility. But it is hard to say."

"Yeah, who knows? It is best if we wait and see."

"Yeah, that's a good idea."

While the young generation was talking amongst themselves, the top experts were discussing matters regarding the gathering.

"So, what are your thoughts about this, Huang Xinyi, Yan Yuehua?"

"I haven't met them personally, but I have heard that both of them are among the most powerful cultivators in the Xu family and have their own forces under their command."

"I have to agree with your assessment, Elder Bai. Both of them are extremely talented, and their forces are not small either."

"Indeed, the Xu family has really made a big stride this time, and I can see why they would gather everyone here.

But the real question is, will the others be willing to participate?"

"Yes, but let's not get our hopes up too much. I doubt that everyone will be so easily convinced. After all, there is no guarantee that the Xu family will succeed in their venture."

"I have a feeling that it is more than just the insects we faced before, as I do not think the Xu family would make a grand spectacle out of something like that."

"That is indeed true. And with the Xu family having so many forces gathered, I would not be surprised if they had a bigger goal in mind."

"Maybe they have found a way to deal with the insects, and they want to recruit the help of others."

"That could be a possibility, but I have a feeling that it is something more."

"Yes, I feel the same way. And whatever it is, I have a feeling that we are going to find out soon enough."

As the groups walked, each had their own thoughts on the matter.
