Xiao Yan had originally intended to take his two disciples straight back to Starfall Pavilion, but before they were even halfway through the spatial transfer, his Heavenly State Soul perception detected an anomaly.
With Xiao Yan's current soul power, he could naturally sense everything with exceptional clarity. That was why he "saw" that something was wrong in the area they were passing through.
"What is this...?"
Xiao Yan frowned and led his two disciples out of the spatial vortex they had prepared, landing atop a mountain peak.
The moment they appeared, not only Xiao Yan, but even his two disciples—who were still only Dou Masters—could see that something was amiss.
Among the mountains below, countless magical beasts were stampeding in one direction, fighting to be first. These magical beasts came from all kinds of races, some strong and some weak; this was not the particular behavior of any single species. As though driven by instinct, they charged forward without regard for anything else.
Though they could not see clearly into the distance, the area was a vast sea of black. Countless magical beasts overlapped and tangled together, while the roars of ferocious beasts rang out one after another, deafening and earth-shaking.
Such a massive disturbance among the magical beasts had naturally drawn the attention of many human experts.
Numerous figures hovered in midair, but they were all extremely cautious. The movements of the beast clans were simply too great; one careless move could result in being besieged by the beast horde. Fortunately, these magical beasts were not truly concerned with them and did not deliberately attack humans.
"Have these guys all gone mad?" The Flame Clan girl Huo Fan was secretly alarmed as she looked at the scene below. She had never witnessed anything like this with her own eyes.
