On the afternoon of the seventh day, Liu Changxu and his father flew the Green Feather Boat to Yunping County, where they soon met Huang Tianjie and the others at the Azure Cloud Sect's outpost.
Once Liu Shihao and his son arrived, Huang Tianjie wasted no words. After a brief exchange of greetings, he immediately summoned his Spirit Artifact Flying Boat and led everyone out of Yunping City, flying north into the depths of the Azure Cloud Range.
Huang Tianjie's Spirit Artifact Flying Boat was called the Flying Cloud Boat. It was a Second-Tier Middle-Grade Spirit Artifact, with considerably more interior space and a much faster flying speed than Liu Changxu's Azure Cloud Boat.
The Flying Cloud Boat soon carried everyone beyond Yunping County. Once they crossed the county boundary, Huang Tianjie lowered their altitude and speed to reduce the chances of being spotted by demon beasts and demon birds.
Never mind mere Foundation Establishment cultivators-even Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators dared not fly brazenly through the depths of the Azure Cloud Range.
Along the way, Huang Tianjie revealed that the Azure Cloud Sect was preparing to conduct a sweep of the demon beasts deep within the Azure Cloud Range in the near future.
The reason was to strike first and eliminate a portion of the demon beasts before the Demon Race of the Azure Cloud Range launched a large-scale beast tide, thereby easing the pressure of the subsequent beast tide.
The Demon Race launched beast tides because, as time passed, the demon beasts within their territory multiplied beyond the numbers that territory could support. They had to either find new territory to inhabit or reduce the number of demon beasts.
Thus, launching large-scale beast tides to attack and occupy human territory became the only way to resolve this
