The Spirit Beasts Leave the Mountain
Something's happened!
The rampage of spirit beasts in Nine Heavens Mountain drew the attention of the entire Dubian Town, and no one even cared who the new Carrying Book Slave of the Mysterious Bookstore was.
The sixteenth day was destined to be an unforgettable day. Tens of thousands of cultivators died in the Nine Heavens Mountain. Only a very few were able to escape. Near the Chu Kingdom, the Nine Heavens Mountain was filled with bloody energy, the roars of spirit beasts, and a strong stench of blood.
"Master Wuyou of the Shangqing Sect also entered the Nine Heavens Mountain today and hasn't come out yet."
"The Lord of Tian Ce Mansion and the four guardians also entered the Nine Heavens Mountain and haven't come out yet."
"The same applies to the twelve elders of Yunjing Palace."
"The Wandering Hermit hasn't come out either."
These were all prominent figures in Dubian Town, and even in their own localities, with strength at the Spirit Venerable and Spirit Emperor levels, but ultimately none of them were able to emerge from the Nine Heavens Mountain.
Given the current situation at Nine Heavens Mountain, the probability of not being able to get out and dying is basically 100%.
For a time, everyone in Dubian Town was on edge, and the atmosphere was heavy.
Even the onlookers at the Journey to the Journey to the West copy site, located ten miles Zhenbei, all left. That place was only fifty miles from the outer edge of the Nine Heavens Mountain. If a high-level spirit beast had actually jumped out from there, they wouldn't have had a chance to escape.
The Dubian Town, Zhou Wuji, used his official authority to block the road into Nine Heavens Mountain and deployed heavy troops to guard it, setting up a defensive array to prevent any spirit beasts from Nine Heavens Mountain from suddenly running out and attacking Dubian Town.
The riot of spirit beasts in the Nine Heavens Mountain is no small matter, especially if these spirit beasts escape and enter human towns, it would be an absolute disaster for humans.
Therefore, even the city lord of Yuanfang City, upon hearing this news, led his men to Dubian Town overnight, intending to personally oversee the Dubian Town and prevent the spirit beasts from escaping from the Nine Heavens Mountain.
Under these circumstances, Ma Feifei completed the engraving of the Eight Formations Diagram, Feng Yiming became the second Carrying Book Slave of the Mysterious Bookstore.
Feng Yiming's mission is different from Li Bieli's. Li Bieli travels from south to north, while Feng Yiming travels from west to east.
Our destination is the Far East, the only place on the Azure Dragon Continent where we can see the sea.
Feng Yiming left very late, around four or five in the morning. The Dubian Town was almost deserted, so Feng Yiming was able to leave quietly without causing any disturbance in the Dubian Town.
In reality, the cultivators in Dubian Town were not in the mood to discuss who had become the Carrying Book Slave of the Mysterious Bookstore. The riot of the spirit beasts in the Nine Heavens Mountain had brought them too much pressure, and some cultivators even couldn't help but prepare to leave Dubian Town to avoid the limelight.
After all, if all the spirit beasts in the Nine Heavens Mountain were to rush out, Dubian Town would be powerless even with a million cultivators, and would be razed to the ground in an instant.
No matter how strong they are, they cannot withstand the onslaught of countless spirit beasts from within the Nine Heavens Mountain.
The next morning, Ma Feifei also learned of the news. However, for Ma Feifei, the spirit beast riot had nothing to do with him. But Ma Feifei suddenly remembered something: the Book Spirit the Analects had split in two and scattered across the Nine Heavens Mountain. It was because of this that those spirit beasts possessed Tianshu Fragment.
Could it be that the Tianshu Fragment caused the rampaging of the spirit beasts within?
Moreover, Ma Feifei had heard that the strength of the spirit beasts in the Nine Heavens Mountain seemed to be increasing rapidly recently, all after the Book Spirit the Analects was scattered in the Nine Heavens Mountain.
Could their increased strength be related to the Tianshu Fragment?
All of this piqued Ma Feifei's curiosity.
"Qingyang, get ready, we're going to Nine Heavens Mountain." It's Sunday, and the Bookstore is still closed, so Ma Feifei plans to take a look at Nine Heavens Mountain.
"Master, aren't you taking me with you?" The Sky-reaching Ape Monkey ran over and asked, showing great interest.
"Okay, you go too." Ma Feifei just wanted to find out the reason, not to fight or anything. Yun Qingyang's protection was enough. But since the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey was going too, Ma Feifei naturally wouldn't mind having more fighters. He also subconsciously glanced at Ba Jiu's room, which was still motionless, obviously still Rest.
Ma Feifei didn't let the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey wake up Ba Jiu. After tidying up, he led the two out of the Mysterious Bookstore and headed towards the Zhenbei.
The practitioners on the street were all in a hurry, and few stopped to talk; the atmosphere was rather oppressive.
Upon arriving at the North Town Entrance, Ma Feifei discovered that the city walls were lined with armored soldiers, standing ready to defend against the onslaught of spirit beasts.
Up there, Ma Feifei saw Zhou Wuji.
Zhou Wuji also saw Ma Feifei, who came down from the city wall and asked, "Shopkeeper, are you going out?"
"Yes, I want to go to Nine Heavens Mountain to take a look." Ma Feifei didn't hide his destination.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wuji's face showed some worry. He said, "Nine Heavens Mountain is too chaotic right now. This morning, we sent out several vanguard teams to investigate the situation, but so far, not a single one has returned. It would be best if the shopkeeper didn't take any risks. We can wait until we have a clear understanding of the cause before going in."
Zhou Wuji was genuinely worried about Ma Feifei going in. Although Ma Feifei's strength was unfathomable and he had a Saint who could rival Saint Chu, the current situation in the Nine Heavens Mountain was too strange. If Ma Feifei rushed in like this, it would definitely be extremely dangerous. You must know that there is a Divine Beast that has survived since ancient times in the Nine Heavens Mountain!
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhou Wuji knows his daughter seems to have some kind of ambiguous relationship with Ma Feifei; otherwise, why would he care? He could just let it go.
Ma Feifei, however, had no concerns. He waved his hand and laughed, "It's alright. I'm going in this time to investigate the reason and see what exactly happened."
"But..." Zhou Wuji still wanted to offer some advice.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen," Ma Feifei said with a smile.
Seeing Ma Feifei's determination, Zhou Wuji didn't say much. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Then how about this, I'm worthy to go in with the shopkeeper."
"No need..." Ma Feifei was a little surprised.
"Although I am not very strong, I am not a burden. Please let me come along, shopkeeper," Zhou Wuji said firmly.
Upon seeing this, Ma Feifei realized he had no choice but to agree to let Zhou Wuji accompany him into the Nine Heavens Mountain.
Zhou Wuji then showed a satisfied expression, waved his hand and whispered some instructions to Ma Feifei, before preparing to leave Zhenbei with Ma Feifei.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed throughout Dubian Town, causing the earth to tremble. Ma Feifei lost her balance and swayed to the side.
Just as Ma Feifei was about to straighten herself, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and found herself in complete darkness. She immediately abandoned the idea of straightening herself and lunged forward with outstretched arms.
"Oops~ I can't stand up..."
"Doo~"
Ma Feifei was held in place by the sword sheath, and his body was slowly straightened.
"Ma Feifei, are you sick?" Yun Qingyang looked at Ma Feifei with a blank expression, not quite understanding why he could fall down like that.
"Uh..." Before Ma Feifei could even speak, a Phantom Organization flew through the sky, followed by a blood-covered cultivator kneeling before Zhou Wuji.
"What happened?" Zhou Wuji voice.
"My lord, the spirit beast has emerged from the Nine Heavens Mountain and is heading towards Dubian Town!"
