Every day, caravans from all over the world arrived in Donghai City, making it a commercial center. Fishermen brought a constant flow of fresh seafood to the city, while merchants brought all kinds of rare goods. The two were interdependent and together created this prosperous city.

However, behind this seemingly peaceful city, there is a thrilling battle hidden.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The Flying Tigers behind Li Cunxiao were like a group of ferocious beasts, full of momentum and murderous intent. Their shouts resounded through the sky, as if they were going to tear the entire Donghai City apart.

Li Cunxiao stood at the front of the team, his figure tall and mighty, the spear in his hand flashing with a cold light. His eyes were like torches, staring closely at the enemy in front of him, without the slightest hesitation or retreat.

"Kill!" With Li Cunxiao's furious roar, the five thousand Flying Tigers charged forward like a torrent. Their steps were firm and powerful, each step making a dull thud.

The army had come a long way from the distant lands to Dongzhou, and had fought a fierce battle all day long, lasting until late at night. The soldiers were already exhausted, but their ambition and fighting spirit were like a blazing fire, supporting them to continue their advance.

Now, they finally arrived at the final decisive moment of the day. Rest was already a luxury for them; only by defeating the enemy could they truly rest.

Li Cunxiao galloped on his horse, his figure like lightning, rushing into the enemy camp in an instant. Behind him, the 5,000 Flying Tigers followed closely behind him. They were closely united, forming an indestructible iron wall.

Li Cunxu ordered his army to fan outward from the coastal landing point, so that more cities could be captured in the shortest possible time, thereby ensuring the army's supply and logistical support. However, due to the need to disperse the troops, Li Cunxiao had relatively few men to attack Donghai City.

Despite this, Li Cunxiao remained unfazed. He was filled with confidence in himself and the Flying Tigers, convinced they could capture Donghai City. As the siege raged, the deputy commander of the Donghai City garrison panicked and told his commander, "General! This... this army, appearing out of nowhere, is incredibly ferocious. They've reached us in less than a day and a night! We should flee! Otherwise, once the city is breached, we'll surely perish!"

Faced with the ferocious onslaught of Li Cunxiao's Flying Tigers, the deputy general was clearly terrified and had completely lost his fighting spirit. However, the burly commander of Donghai City remained remarkably calm. He glanced coldly at the deputy general, a flicker of disdain in his heart. The commander actually held this brother-in-law of the King of Dongzhou in contempt, but naturally, he couldn't let that emotion show on the surface.

"Don't panic. The enemy has only four or five thousand soldiers, while we have fifty thousand defenders in the city! What's more, we have the city wall as our advantage. Even if the enemy has a more elite army, it is absolutely impossible for them to attack. So you don't have to panic. If you feel tired, you can go back and rest. A large army will come to support us early tomorrow morning. When the time comes, we will cooperate inside and outside to wipe out these enemies in one fell swoop!" The Lord of Donghai City said confidently, and at the same time, he signaled to the deputy general with his eyes to leave quickly so as not to interfere with his command of the battle here.

Upon hearing the city lord's words, the deputy general was overjoyed. He had already been dreading the battle, but now that the city lord announced a massive reinforcement force, with 50,000 defenders still in the city, he felt there was no need to risk staying. He nodded quickly, "Really? Really? That's great! Thank you, General! I've recently had a relapse of an old injury, and I'm a bit exhausted, so I won't bother you any more!" After saying this, the deputy general took another look at the Flying Tigers outside the city by the firelight. After confirming their small numbers, he breathed a sigh of relief and found a way out.

"Well! Go ahead, and get some rest when you get back!" The East Sea City Lord looked at the deputy general's cowardly appearance, and his disdain grew stronger. He cursed inwardly, "What a relapse of an old injury! This guy is clearly a spoiled dandy. The hardships he's endured are nothing more than having his legs carried on his shoulders!"

"Hey! Good! Thank you for your hard work, General!" The deputy general turned around with a smile on his face, as if he was very satisfied with the completion of this mission. However, just as he was about to leave, a large number of people suddenly emerged from the city.

These people, all of them highly skilled in cultivation, wielded sharp swords and charged fiercely. Their speed was extremely fast, like lightning, and they reached the city gate in the blink of an eye.

The soldiers defending the city were caught off guard and had no time to put up any effective resistance. The assassins slashed with their swords, cutting down the soldiers who blocked their path with ease. Blood splattered everywhere, a horrific sight.

"General! General! It's bad! The Langya Chamber of Commerce is coming with many wealthy families in the city! They intend to open the city gate!" A soldier covered in blood stumbled to the top of the city wall and reported loudly in fear to the commander of Donghai City.

"Langya Chamber of Commerce?" Upon hearing this, the East Sea City Lord's face changed drastically, his face filled with disbelief. He could never have imagined that the Langya Chamber of Commerce would suddenly launch an attack at this time, and even allied with many of the city's wealthy families.

The Langya Chamber of Commerce was a caravan that had arrived in Donghai City only half a year ago. Initially, they hadn't caught his attention. After all, Donghai City was a bustling commercial city with numerous caravans coming and going every day, and he had no time to attend to such trivial matters.

However, the Langya Chamber of Commerce was different. They possessed a magical treasure called the Spirit Pearl, which was said to grant one the ability to instantly attain Grandmaster-level cultivation. This news spread rapidly throughout Donghai City within just two weeks, solidifying the Langya Chamber of Commerce's position within the city.

This also caught the attention of the East Sea City Lord. Who wouldn't want a piece of the exclusive Lingzhu business? Consequently, the East Sea City Lord began to take a keen interest in the Langya Chamber of Commerce.

However, the Langya Chamber of Commerce was clearly no pushover. Not only did they boast numerous experts, but they also enjoyed the support and backing of many prominent clans within Donghai City. This resulted in the East Sea City Lord suffering considerable hardship and even suffering losses in his clashes with the Langya Chamber of Commerce.
