Chapter 203: Don't listen to Yun Qi and suffer the consequences
Sanqing Sect, meeting hall.
All the elders were seated, except for three seats which were empty.
Sect leader Wen Tingyu, great elder Duanmu Qingyuan, and Yuqing Peak leader Xu Donghua.
Someone whispered, "Why isn't Master Xu here? Is he still in seclusion?"
It seemed that the person in charge of the sect's training room shook his head and was about to say something.
Suddenly, the space seemed to be gently twisted by an invisible force, and then three figures appeared on the three empty seats almost at the same time, bringing a breeze that blew away the fine dust on the ground.
These three people are none other than the Sanqing Sect's leader Wen Tingyu, the great elder Duanmu Qingyuan, and Yuqing Peak's leader Xu Donghua.
I saw that the spiritual energy around them was constantly surging, blowing their clothes so that they fluttered without wind. They looked a little tired, as if they had just returned from a thrilling battle.
The pupils of some elders who were unaware of the situation shrank slightly. The fluctuation of spiritual pressure on Xu Donghua, the master of Yuqing Peak, implied one thing: he had achieved the Nascent Soul stage!
"Congratulations, Master Xu Feng."
"When did Master Xu Feng break through?"
After all, the meeting hall was not a place for small talk. Sect Master Wen Tingyu coughed lightly. Although the sound was light, it echoed clearly in every corner of the hall and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"The three of us went deep into the Monster Mountain Range and had a battle with the two monsters, Zheyuan and Huxi." Wen Tingyu spoke slowly and briefly described what had just happened.
An optimistic elder said, "I see. If it were just a few little demons doing evil, then the situation wouldn't be that serious."
"At worst, we elders will have to work harder and conduct a search in our territory."
"In any case, just don't let it affect the upcoming war between good and evil."
Some people hold different opinions.
"The demons are very cunning, so this statement may not be believed."
"We still need to be cautious in the battle between good and evil."
Duanmu Qingyuan suddenly spoke, and as soon as he spoke, the other elders fell silent.
"It is reasonable for the demons to reject the magic path. After all, the magic path is not sincere and only wants to trick the demons into being the vanguard to weaken the power of the righteous path. The demons are not stupid. But once the righteous and the demons go to war, the demons will see the magic path as the vanguard of the demons. If we show signs of fatigue, these demons will certainly not be at peace."
Xu Donghua also nodded.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the meeting hall became a little tense.
Wen Tingyu said calmly: "In any case, the battle between good and evil has been decided. We have to fight to recapture Ningcheng."
"Send a message to Wanxiang Sect. Wanxiang Sect has lost face this time. We need them to put in more effort to deal with the demon clan."
On the other side, the Monster Mountain Range.
Meng Jingyang's collar was covered in smelly blood.
Just now, he stabbed the monster's throat with a sword at close range, and the blood spurting out of the aorta soaked him all over.
His teammates gave him a thumbs up and said with a smile, "I took a demon blood bath. I heard that many body-building techniques require demon blood."
Meng Jingyang drew out his sword, kicked the monster's corpse to the ground, put it into his storage bag, and said, "What a pity, I don't know any physical training techniques."
As he spoke, he used the cleansing technique to wipe away the demon blood on his head.
Suddenly, Meng Jingyang's expression changed, and the Jiang family disciples also frowned.
Several people exchanged glances, but did not speak. There were only three words in their eyes: "There is movement."
The shaking of the ground became clearer and clearer. Several people climbed up the tallest tree nearby and looked around.
They saw a scene that shocked them. A large group of monsters rushed towards them like a tide. This was a small beast tide. There were many kinds of monsters in the beast tide, including wild wolves, cheetahs, wild boars, etc.
The people at the top of the tree quickly got down from the tree.
"It's a beast tide, coming towards us, run!"
The people on the ground were puzzled: "How could this happen? The Demon Suppression Conference just ended, how could there be a beast tide?"
"No time to think, run!"
They didn't run for long before they were caught up by the vanguard of the beast tide.
Faced with the attack of the beast tide, the team members could only fight and retreat at the same time.
However, the number of monsters was so large that there was no sense of reduction. Instead, it seemed that they were increasing continuously.
At this moment, someone sensed the breath of foundation-building monsters among the beast tide.
This discovery made everyone's heart sink to the bottom in an instant.
They knew very well that if they were just some Qi-cultivating monsters, even if they gathered into a beast tide and forced everyone to retreat, as long as they ran fast, there would be no problem.
But facing the foundation-building monsters, they had no chance of winning at all.
One of the Jiang family's children was so anxious that his face turned red. He took out a message talisman and wanted to ask the family for help.
Another Jiang family member snatched the message talisman and cursed, "Don't endanger the safety of the patriarch!"
After these words were spoken, the originally anxious members of the Jiang family fell silent.
A family cannot afford to lose a Foundation Establishment Master. Once a Foundation Establishment Master is lost, the family will fall into decline.
The Jiang family only has one patriarch who has just entered the foundation-building stage. If they send out a distress letter, can they come to rescue them? Don't put the patriarch in it.
Just when everyone was at a loss, someone suddenly said, "We can still ask Elder Yunqi for help."
Everyone's eyes instantly turned to Meng Jingyang. After all, Meng Jingyang and Ye Yunqi had just had a cordial conversation.
Meng Jingyang's heart tightened. He knew that asking Ye Yunqi for help was their only hope at the moment.
However, he was also a little hesitant. After all, his relationship with Ye Yunqi had been drifting apart, and in such a sudden request for help, he didn't know whether the other party would believe it or not.
But he decided to give it a try, looking at the expectant eyes of his teammates, Meng Jingyang gritted his teeth and decided to shamelessly send a distress message to Ye Yunqi.
After Meng Jingyang sent the message for help, she felt a little relieved, but the crisis before her did not diminish at all.
He tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness, and shouted loudly: "I have sent out a call for help. But we cannot sit and wait for help, keep charging!"
A group of teammates also responded, they gritted their teeth and threw themselves into the fierce battle again.
All around, the roars of wild beasts and the shouts of humans intertwined into a chaotic movement. They were like a small boat in a strong wind, struggling to shuttle through the huge waves of the beast tide, trying to find a glimmer of hope and break out of the world. The beast tide was chaotic and disorganized, a collective panic.
The root cause of this beast tide is probably from the Nascent Soul level battle deep in the sky.
A hint of the aura of a great battle, a slight impact, was enough to make countless monsters panic and flee away.
When these monsters gathered together, they became the source of the beast tide chaos.
Meng Jingyang and others didn't know all this, they only knew that when the enemy comes, they will fight back with soldiers and when the water comes, they will block it with earth.
Fight if you can, escape if you can.
However, in this seemingly endless fight, they eventually attracted the attention of a more powerful being—a high-level demon beast in the foundation-building stage, shaped like a giant tiger, which slowly approached them like a moving mountain in the beast tide.
With a deafening roar, it suddenly launched an attack with a force that was enough to tear steel apart, aiming directly at the vital points of everyone.
At this critical moment of life and death, a warm light suddenly lit up, and an originally inconspicuous jade plate seemed to be given life in Ye Yunqi's hand. It grew in the wind and instantly turned into an indestructible shield, firmly blocking between everyone and the monster, easily resolving the blow that was enough to destroy the world.
"It's Elder Yunqi!"
"Long live Elder Yunqi!"
"We are saved!"
Ye Yunqi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he shouted loudly: "Quick, follow my instructions and rush over here!"
Ye Yunqi stepped in the air and had an extraordinary vision of the direction of advancement. He immediately found which direction he could break through to escape the beast tide.
Since there is no way to be faster than the beast tide, we can only avoid its edge.
The route will be much better if we leave the beast tide.
"Thank you, Elder Yunqi."
Everyone bowed their hands.
Meng Jingyang sighed in his heart and blended into the crowd to express his gratitude.
But how could the monster, whose attack failed, give up?
Unlike those brainless monsters that only know how to run away when frightened, the monsters in the foundation-building stage gradually become more intelligent and are more greedy for the flesh and blood of the cultivators.
It looked like a giant tiger monster or a mountain cat. It roared angrily and protested to Ye Yunqi.
Ye Yunqi was not afraid at all, his eyes were fixed on this tiger demon in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
This tiger demon is huge, majestic, and exudes a powerful aura.
It is the biggest threat to the monster hunting team. If Ye Yunqi hadn't come to rescue it, it would have been in great danger.
Ye Yunqi rushed towards the tiger monster without hesitation, and swung the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, and a sharp sword energy slashed towards the tiger monster.
The tiger demon felt the threat of the sword energy, roared, and swung its huge claws to meet the sword.
The sword energy collided with the tiger claw, making a loud noise. The powerful impact force made the surrounding monsters retreat.
Ye Yunqi was getting more and more proficient in using the Xuanyuan Sword, and the tiger demon was not to be outdone. With its strong body and fierce attacks, it constantly launched counterattacks against Ye Yunqi. Its claws were like sharp blades, and every swing could bring great destructive power. Its roar was like thunder, which made people tremble with fear.
This is not just a battle between two people. While fighting the tiger demon, Ye Yunqi also has to keep an eye on the situation of the demon hunting team.
He saw that the members of the demon hunting team were exhausted and covered with wounds. He knew that he had to kill the tiger demon as soon as possible and lead the demon hunting team to break out and leave.
Ye Yunqi said, "Protect yourselves first and beware of this tiger monster's sneak attack. I will kill this tiger monster first."
The monsters were cunning and would inevitably pick on the weak, so Ye Yunqi had to warn them before launching his all-out attack.
A disciple of the Jiang family took out a formation plate and with a wave of his hand, it fell to the ground and formed a formation, becoming a defensive formation.
While strengthening the defense, it also created a prison, so it had been useless before.
However, the other monsters in the beast tide did not stop. They continued to attack the monster hunting team, trying to prevent them from breaking through their defense formation.
During this period, Ye Yunqi kept looking for opportunities to kill the tiger monster as soon as possible.
He knew that only after getting rid of the tiger demon could he focus on clearing a path and leading the rest of the group out.
Ye Yunqi shouted softly, and the long sword seemed to come to life, dancing in his hand, turning into a dark black sword shadow, shooting towards the tiger monster.
Seeing this, the tiger demon roared, opened its bloody mouth, and spewed out a ball of blazing flames, trying to devour Ye Yunqi's sword shadow. However, Ye Yunqi had already anticipated its action, and the sword shadow turned strangely in the air, avoiding the flames and going straight for the tiger demon's throat.
Although the tiger demon was ferocious, it was not stupid. It quickly dodged the attack by moving sideways. However, Ye Yunqi did not stop there. He flashed and appeared on the tiger demon's flank like a ghost, swinging his long sword with sword lights, and each sword was aimed at the tiger demon's vital points.
The tiger demon was forced to retreat again and again by Ye Yunqi's sudden attack. It roared repeatedly, trying to use its powerful force to repel Ye Yunqi. However, Ye Yunqi seemed to have merged into the battlefield. His figure moved left and right, up and down, as if weaving an invisible sword net around the tiger demon, making it impossible for the tiger demon to attack.
At the same time, Meng Jingyang and his team were not idle either. They took advantage of the opportunity when Ye Yunqi was fighting with the tiger monster to quickly adjust the formation, and the team broke through to the side of the beast tide. They knew that only by leaving this battlefield as soon as possible could they ensure everyone's safety.
However, is it so easy to break through the beast tide? Countless monsters came like a tide, roaring and biting, trying to stop Meng Jingyang and his team. But Meng Jingyang and his team had already made preparations. They cooperated with each other and used all their strength to fight fiercely with the monsters.
Finally, Ye Yunqi found an opportunity. The tiger demon revealed a flaw during an attack, and Ye Yunqi unhesitatingly used the true meaning of the cloud and thunder in the Feixiao Strike Thunder Art, and the lightning condensed on the sword body, slashing towards the vital parts of the tiger demon.
The tiger demon wanted to dodge, but it was too late. Ye Yunqi's sword accurately hit the tiger demon's vital point. The tiger demon let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground.
When the surrounding monsters saw the tiger monster being killed, they became even more panicked and scattered in all directions, making it easier for the team to break out.
Ye Yunqi took the opportunity to lead the monster hunting team to fight their way out of the beast tide.
After breaking through, everyone galloped all the way until they were completely free of the beast tide. The members of the monster hunting team sat on the ground tiredly, their hearts filled with joy of surviving the disaster.
Ye Yunqi looked at the members of the demon hunting team and felt relieved. He knew that although the battle was difficult, they succeeded in the end.
He walked to Meng Jingyang and said, "Are you okay?"
Meng Jingyang looked at Ye Yunqi gratefully and said, "Thank you, Brother Ye, for saving our lives. We are fine, just a little tired."
Ye Yunqi nodded and said, "You encountered a beast tide this time, which is really too dangerous. You must be more careful and cautious when you act in the Monster Mountain Range in the future."
Meng Jingyang and the others nodded, feeling somewhat shocked. When they set out earlier, Ye Yunqi had warned them, but they did not listen to the advice and yet still bothered Ye Yunqi to come and rescue them.
Ye Yunqi didn't care about it. He checked the injuries of the monster hunting team members again and gave them some healing pills.
He said, "Rest here for a while and go back after your injuries have recovered."
