Encountering Monk Jinguang Again

Just then, a cat-like Demon Beast leaped out from the City Lord's Mansion.

It not only looked like a cat, but was also about the same size as a common house cat. However, Ye Wen sensed it was extremely dangerous.

The cat stood on the rooftop and spoke human words, saying:

"Tonight is quite lively, with many little mice showing up. Unfortunately, I'm not in the mood to toy with you today. All of you, get lost and tell your masters behind you.

Tell them to open the Xingyuan Demon Suppressing Tower themselves and release the Nine Nether Snake King. Otherwise, in three days, hordes of demons will gather and slaughter their way to Xingyuan, destroying your city and shattering the Demon Suppressing Tower."

After speaking, it let out a "meow!"

At this moment, everyone hidden in the shadows was forced out by this single sound. Then, without even a glance, it re-entered the City Lord's Mansion.

"This, this little cat is actually Seventh Rank? That invincible kingly aura... it's definitely above Xiantian Seventh Rank." Ye Wen secretly guessed.

And it wasn't just a few people who were forced out by the sound. There were even two people Ye Wen had never noticed before, who only revealed themselves after being shaken by the cat's cry.

"Are these Dao Sect disciples, wearing Spirit Artifacts that can make them invisible?"

Ye Wen mused to himself.

Looking at the nearly ten people who had been exposed, they exchanged glances and then shouted!

"Scatter and escape, bring the message back."

A Seventh Rank Demon Beast is called a King Beast within the Demon Race. Once they reach Seventh Rank, their bodies can grow or shrink, so bigger doesn't necessarily mean stronger.

It seemed this cat king didn't intend to deal with them. Perhaps it disdained to act, but the Demon Beasts below it wouldn't let the humans who had intruded into their territory go. Thus, a great battle erupted on the spot.

A breakout battle began. Ye Wen dared not reveal his strength at this moment. If the King Beast decided to attack him, it would be certain death. So, he followed the others and fled quickly, basically just running and not daring to fight back.

Ye Wen was fast and unafraid of injury, so he was the first to break out of the encirclement. Ye Wen glanced back and saw that everyone else still had some energy left.

So he just ran, not daring to act recklessly here. The pressure from the King Beast was too immense.

Even though his current strength meant he didn't fear any Sixth Rank cultivator, the thought of the chasm between Sixth and Seventh Rank left Ye Wen with no room for luck.

So, after breaking out of the encirclement, Ye Wen quickly ran towards the place where he had parted ways with Old Man Qiao.

Old Man Qiao had been hiding in the shadows, watching the city. When he discovered the battle erupting within, he guessed that Ye Wen had likely been exposed.

He was preparing to find an opportunity to go in and help, but he didn't expect Ye Wen to come rushing out. But why was the battle in the city still ongoing?

Ye Wen didn't have time to explain. He said to him directly:

"Hurry and leave! They plan to march on Xingyuan City in three days. Right now, they are waiting for more demons to arrive. There are already tens of thousands of demon powerhouses in the city, and even a Seventh Rank King Beast is stationed there."

Riding on horseback, Ye Wen spoke as they traveled.

"You go back first and report this. I'll wait here to see if I can help bring out a few more humans."

Old Man Qiao was greatly shocked upon hearing Ye Wen's words. So many demons, and a Seventh Rank Demon Beast. This was not something they could handle right now. So, after telling Ye Wen to be careful, he quickly rode away.

Watching Old Man Qiao leave, Ye Wen couldn't help but sigh.

"This is a huge disaster. So many Demon Beasts are planning to attack the city. How can humanity resist? I hope the City Lord takes Tingting and the others away soon!"

Not long after, the battle indeed moved closer. They tried to break through the encirclement, but more and more demons gathered.

At this moment, Monk Jinguang spoke, "Fellow Daoists, stop hiding your strength. The Seventh Rank King Beast likely won't attack. Everyone, use your full power, breaking through is the priority."

Hearing the monk's words, someone in the crowd shouted, "Alright, everyone, go all out! We'll break out from that village!"

At this point, everyone stopped holding back and unleashed their full strength.

Monk Xuankong's body once again emitted golden light, bravely leading the charge! However, the demon horde was too numerous, and they failed to break through after two attempts.

Ye Wen finally felt relieved. The demon cat king truly didn't care about this group of people, treating them like mere mice.

So, when Monk Xuankong and the others charged for the third time, Ye Wen made his move, providing support from behind.

Everyone saw their companion, who had just escaped, hadn't left and was actually here to support them. They were immensely grateful. With Ye Wen's addition, they easily broke through the encirclement.

The group quickly left the village. After running for more than ten miles, they found that the demons were not pursuing them. Only then did they slow down and begin introducing themselves to each other.
