Spirit City in Danger!!!

Xu Nian'an looked up at the dark, looming mass pressing down on the distant horizon and narrowed her eyes.

The Beast Tide arrived faster than he had anticipated.

Xu Nian'an turned around without the slightest hesitation.

"We should leave."

Leaving behind such a simple sentence, Xu Nian'an came to Zhu Zhuqing's side and slowly extended his hand.

Let's go.

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated upon seeing this.

Looking back, Zhao Wuji immediately realized what was happening.

"Everyone, get ready to evacuate!"

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Nian'an transformed into a golden ray of light and vanished from the spot.

····

The border between the Sword Mountain Range and the Star Dou Forest.

In the end, the people of the Sword Sect couldn't suppress their curiosity.

"Hiss~!"

"Such destructive power, such a large-scale landslide and earthquake, truly befits the Titan Giant Ape, the king of the Star Dou Forest."

···

Blood was splattered everywhere, the ground had collapsed... Trees were uprooted and fell, and the numerous pits and cracks in the ground indicated that a fierce battle had taken place here.

"Old... Old Sect Master, we've made a discovery!"

Just then, a young man dressed in the Sword Sect arrived at a place littered with corpses.

Upon seeing this, the Sect Master of the Sword Sect flashed and instantly appeared beside the young man.

"Is this the person who died unexpectedly during the Spirit Hall's hunt for the Titan Giant Ape?"

"Wait, no, this wound shouldn't have been caused by Titan Giant Ape."

The sect leader of the Sword Sect arrived at the nearest corpse of a member of the Spirit Hall and frowned as he looked at the neat, uniform cut.

"Sect Master, we've made another discovery!"

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of the Sword Sect slowly rose to his feet. But as soon as he stood up, his eyes inadvertently swept over the scene, and he instantly stopped in his tracks.

"A white... platinum... robe!!!"

"The Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall!"

When he saw Lin Bao's corpse, his pupils contracted sharply again.

The Platinum Bishop the Spirit Hall was a Spirit Hall Soul Douluo- level figure, even more powerful than himself. He never expected that such a figure would perish in the hunt for the Titan Giant Ape.

Upon arriving at the place where his disciple had reported a discovery, the Sword Sect Master found a severed tail.

Even he felt immense pressure on that tail section covered in bluish-black scales.

"A... a hundred Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Could it be that the Spirit Hall hunted not only the Titan Giant Ape, but also... and the Sky Azure Bull Python?!"

The sect leader of the Sword Sect suddenly recalled the faint mooing of a cow that he had heard not long ago.

Tap tap tap~!!!

Roar!!!

Hiss~!

Phew~!!!

Just then, in the direction of the Star Dou Forest, countless trees collapsed in unison, and the roars of countless Soul Beast echoed continuously.

Upon seeing this apocalyptic scene, the sect leader of the Sword Sect's pupils constricted sharply.

"Retreat!!!"

"Evacuate!!"

Upon hearing the old sect leader's command, the disciples of the Sword Sect did not hesitate at all and turned to leave.

The old sect leader hesitated for a moment, glanced at the severed tail on the ground, and then decisively lifted it up...

This is the tail of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Although it wasn't severed by their Sword Sect, it could still be used to forge a sect-protecting treasure, right?

···

On the other side, following Xu Nian'an's orders, the Brocade Guard used a special Soul Tool to extract the fur and blood of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Three-Eyed Golden Lion, replicating the aura of the Auspicious Beast, and then shielding the aura of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's true form.

They will send a sample of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's aura to their inside agent in Spirit City, while the main force will return to the Great Ming Empire first.

···

Xiba Autonomous Prefecture, atop the high peaks of the Lima Plain.

Beast Tide are composed of tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands or millions of Soul Beast, organized and managed in an orderly manner; the size of Beast Tide varies.

It all depends on the situation.

However, judging from the scale this time, it should have exceeded 100,000.

This is considered a fairly large Beast Tide.

As for the speed of the Beast Tide, well... how should I put it?

For ordinary people, it would be over in the blink of an eye, but for Soul Master with powerful cultivation... it's just so-so.

As long as you want to leave, and as long as you don't act foolishly, you should be able to leave.

Of course, the situation Xu Nian'an was referring to was the kind of Beast Tide led by ten- or Hundred-Year Soul Beast that had just appeared.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!!!"

"Finally escaped the Star Dou Forest! What on earth happened to these Soul Beast? They've become so violent!"

"Can you imagine a timid, ten-year-old fawn, the kind of Soul Beast that runs away at the sight of people, frantically kicking its short legs, its eyes red, teeth bared, trying to bite your butt???"

···

As soon as they left the Star Dou Forest, everyone began to complain.

"Senior, are we really safe from the Beast Tide here?"

Zhao Wuji stood on the mountain peak on the plain, gazing in the direction of the Star Dou Forest... He could still vaguely see a vast expanse of trees, all fallen, with Soul Beast howling incessantly.

"This Beast Tide won't affect us; in fact, it'll give us a good show to watch."

Whether it was the three generations of the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny, or the people from the Shrek Academy, they all became instantly interested when they heard Xu Nian'an say the word "good show."

···

Tap tap tap~!!!

The heavy footsteps echoed, and the earth began to tremble slightly...

Before long, the people on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest noticed something was wrong, but unfortunately, by then it was already a pipe dream to run away.

Because people have been walking around the outer edge of the Star Dou Forest for a long time, it has developed into a plain, unlike the depths of the Star Dou Forest where it is full of trees, making it difficult for Soul Beast to charge.

Once they entered the plains, they were in their element, making escape much more difficult.

"What's going on...? Was it an earthquake?"

"Soul Beast, Soul Beast... so many... so many Soul Beast!!!"

Pfft!!!

Some people didn't even have time to react before they instantly became the dead souls under the feet of the Soul Beast, trampled to death.

Some people realized what was happening and tried to escape... but the Beast Tide that entered the plains was like a wild horse that had broken free, charging wildly and being swept away by countless Soul Beast.

Some were lucky enough to escape the trampling of the Beast Tide, but not the bird-like Soul Beast flying in the sky.

Its sharp beak easily pierced human bones and sucked out the brain marrow.

Countless bird -Soul Beast flapped their wings in the sky, creating gusts of wind!

···

Soon, the Beast Tide reached its first checkpoint, Spirit Hall established a defensive line to isolate the Soul Beast of the Star Dou Forest.

Although the probability of Beast Tide is very small, small probability does not mean it does not exist. There have been a few instances in previous historical records, but they were always only a few hundred beasts, not many.

But things are different now.

The Spirit Hall personnel stationed at the Star Dou Forest defense line were stunned by the sight of countless, seemingly endless Soul Beast swarming in the sky and on the ground.

"This... this is impossible! Such a massive Beast Tide, unprecedented in hundreds or thousands of years, has... and I've encountered it!"

"My life is over!"

Spirit City is in danger!
