Retreat

One day later.

Nanyun City Airport.

Xing Feixiang waited there with his men, ready to welcome Yun Yongfeng, director of the Transcendent Administration Bureau Headquarters.

Soon.

Two people walked out of the arrivals gate.

They were Yun Yongfeng and Li Yanran.

Xing Feixiang hurried over.

"Director."

At the same time, he brought over a case of Spirit Stones he had prepared and set it at Li Yanran's feet.

Yun Yongfeng had arranged this.

The Ten Thousand Great Mountains were too vast, and sensing consumed spiritual power. Sensing the entire mountain range therefore required an immense supply of spiritual power.

Yun Yongfeng nodded and asked Li Yanran beside him, "Yanran, sense the Chakra fluctuations deep in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains right away."

Li Yanran murmured her assent, opened the case on the ground, and held her hand above the Spirit Stones. Instantly, the Chakra within them turned into masses of pure spiritual power that surged into her body.

This was another of her abilities. She could rapidly absorb large quantities of Chakra and share the spiritual power she converted it into with others.

She had already sensed it while on the plane, but not very accurately. There were too many Fierce Beasts in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains. In her perception, they were like masses of firelight intertwined, making it impossible to distinguish anything.

Of course, this was more because she lacked the immense spiritual power needed to support her sensing, leaving her unable to distinguish them.

Now that she had so much spiritual power, the result was naturally different.

In Li Yanran's perception.

The Ten Thousand Great Mountains became clear.

Countless clusters of light formed by Chakra fluctuations began to come into focus.

Soon, she discovered the four clearest and largest Chakra fluctuations.

Looking at the map of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains that Xing Feixiang had just taken out, she began comparing them, working out where that was.

The Level Nine Area, where the four guardians were stationed!

Less than a hundred li from the four guardians, there was another Chakra fluctuation slightly weaker than theirs.

Li Yanran found this cluster of Chakra fluctuations very familiar... The next second, she figured it out.

It was Shen Fei's Chakra fluctuation!

She knew it very well!

Having found Shen Fei, she suppressed her excitement.

Because she had also sensed two Chakra fluctuations in the deepest reaches of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains that were no weaker than those of the four guardians.

Moreover, there was another cluster of Chakra fluctuations there that was not very distinct, but was enormous.

According to what Yun Yongfeng had said.

This should be the Beast God.

The two Chakra fluctuations near the Beast God belonged to the Danzo Sword Saint and the Mage.

Li Yanran said, "I found them. Near the Beast God, there are two Chakra fluctuations no weaker than those of the four guardians. Those two should be the Danzo Sword Saint and the Mage you mentioned."

Xing Feixiang still did not know what had happened.

But he was shocked as well.

There were actually two people no weaker than the four guardians, and they were near the Beast God!

Where had they come from?

What were they trying to do?

He hurriedly said, "Director... What's going on? Who could they be? What are they trying to do by approaching the Beast God?!"

Yun Yongfeng had not disclosed this matter. Very few people knew about it, only a handful.

After all, Sakura Country and Beautiful Country had been able to learn about the Beast God from the Transcendent Administration Bureau's transcendent S-rank files.

Presumably, there was a mole within the Transcendent Administration Bureau.

So, to be safe, Yun Yongfeng had told no one except the cabinet and Li Yanran.

He had also ordered Liu Long's squad not to tell anyone else about it.

Yun Yongfeng did not answer Xing Feixiang's questions.

He was very agitated now.

Those two were already near the Beast God, which meant they could awaken it in an instant.

It was already too late to stop them.

Now they could only respond!

He hurriedly told Li Yanran, "Contact the four guardians immediately and tell them everything. Then have them withdraw from the Ten Thousand Great Mountains at once!"

Knowing how serious the situation was, Li Yanran immediately used the Sound Transmission Technique.

However.

Besides the four guardians.

She also transmitted her voice to Shen Fei.

"This is Li Yanran of the Transcendent Administration Bureau. Director Yun Yongfeng asked me to tell you to leave the Ten Thousand Great Mountains immediately. Retreat at once."

"In the deepest reaches of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains..."

Li Yanran told everyone everything.

Afterward, Li Yanran's face turned pale.

"Mission complete."

Beside her, Xing Feixiang was utterly shocked.

He had never expected something like this to happen.

It was simply too outrageous.

Yun Yongfeng said, "Our immediate priority is to mobilize the army to defend Nanyun City. Have all the Regulators return to Nanyun City and prepare to resist the beast tide!"

At the same time.

The four guardians and Shen Fei, who were cultivating, heard Li Yanran's voice transmission.

Dongfang Bai frowned in disbelief. "Impossible. The four of us are right here. In this day and age, no one could possibly get past all four of us! I think this is a lie, a ploy to lure us away! Besides, I've never even heard of this Li Yanran."

Murong Feng thought the same.

This was not arrogance on their part, but confidence in their own strength.

They were experts at mortal entry stage nine level nine, the people in this world closest to transcendent stage one.

How could anyone possibly pass them silently without their noticing?

"It's a lie. How could that be possible? Who could get past the four of us? Especially people from Sakura Country and Beautiful Country? Bullshit!"

Fa Kong said calmly, "This humble monk doesn't believe it either."

But.

Qing Yunzi had a different idea.

Could it have been that Chakra fluctuation from earlier?

Qing Yunzi had an ability similar to Li Yanran's: he could sense Chakra fluctuations within a certain distance of himself.

Yesterday, a Chakra fluctuation did seem to have appeared for an instant.

Could it have been him?

Qing Yunzi frowned and told everyone what had happened yesterday.

"I think it's true. Yesterday, I did sense a Chakra fluctuation, but it lasted so briefly, vanishing in an instant, that I thought I had imagined it. Now it seems it might have been real!"

In an instant.

The other three frowned.

Qing Yunzi was the Sword Immortal Sect's eldest disciple.

He would not lie.

In other words, what Qing Yunzi said was highly credible.

"How about this? To avoid being lured away, Qing Yunzi and I will stay here, while you two go to the Surveillance Station to confirm it," Fa Kong proposed a solution.

Dongfang Bai and Murong Feng did not object.

Under the circumstances, this was indeed the most suitable solution.

Soon.

Dongfang Bai and Murong Feng left the Level Nine Area.

Elsewhere.

Shen Fei also received Li Yanran's voice transmission.

He was somewhat surprised.

He had not expected something like this to happen.

But he had no intention of leaving either.

Instead, he wanted to challenge this so-called Beast God.

Elsewhere.

In the deepest reaches of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.

The Danzo Sword Saint and the Mage had finally found the place where the Beast God slept.
