Outside Profound Wind Treasure Valley, a large number of seventh and Eight-Realm Ancestor from the Ancient Domain Martial Saint City traversed the sky, hunting down the toad-like beasts that had escaped from the valley.

When Lin Yi arrived, he saw that the entire Profound Wind Treasure Valley was sealed off and under strict martial law, prohibiting Martial Saint from approaching.

A thousand meters above the cliff at the valley entrance, a domain emerged, standing alone in the Domain, like a small, independent world, where all the Eight-Realm Martial Saint Ancestor gathered.

"Qin Jian, Northern Guard Deputy Prefect of Tong Pass, requests an audience..."

After revealing his identity, Lin Yi was led into the Small World by a seventh realm Martial Saint.

This realm is small, a barren expanse, with a gray sky like Deathly Stillness Mars. It's unclear whether it's some kind of magical space or a temporary Real Domain created by some ancestor.

Lin Yi looked around and saw at least a dozen Eight-Realm Martial Saint Ancestor, many of whom had unfamiliar faces that he had never seen before.

It must be said that Martial Saint City has a very deep foundation. Even Lin Yi, as the Northern Guard Deputy Prefect of Tong Pass, still does not know how many Eight-Realm Martial Saint or how many Ninth Realm Martial Saint there are in the Ancient Domain.

Lin Yi wasn't even sure if there were any beings beyond the Ninth Realm.

Among the dozen or so Eight-Realm Ancestor, there were a few familiar faces: Kun Changkong, Zhen Xianguang, and Qian Wujiang.

They all held positions in Martial Saint City, so they were summoned here.

Upon seeing Lin Yi's figure appear in the Small World, a discordant voice rang out. "Isn't this Deputy Prefect Qin? What brings you here?"

The speaker identified himself as Zhen Xianguang. He had a rather poor impression of Lin Yi from the last time he attended Wu Shi's private exchange meeting.

Lin Yi glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Qin, am here on behalf of Tongguan Prefecture."

"Tsk tsk, is Tongguan Prefecture out of people? The other eight Deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass are not here. Why did you, seventh realm Martial Saint, come to join the fun? You should know that the hordes of strange beasts that appeared at the Profound Wind Valley are so powerful that even we have to spend a lot of effort to kill them. If you die here, Tongguan Prefecture will probably cause us trouble."

Lin Yi, representing Tongguan Prefecture, didn't tolerate Zhen Xianguang's mocking tone and immediately smiled and said, "Senior Zhen has quite a few words. If your methods were as sharp as your words, those strange beasts below would probably have been wiped out several times over."

"Hahaha..."

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, many of the Eight-Realm Martial Saint present laughed, Zhen Xianguang's face darkened. Wasn't this an insult to him, implying that he was all talk and no action?

"Hmph, is this how Wu Shi teaches his disciples?"

"I think even without Master's teachings, we should know the principle of 'treating others with tenfold respect.' I wonder how far Senior Zhen has gone in this regard?"

"You're sharp-tongued; I can't be bothered to argue with you..."

Zhen Xianguang realized he couldn't win the argument with Lin Yi, so he stopped talking.

At this moment, a hunched figure stepped into the space. With a wave of his sleeve, a toad-like beast, several meters long and frozen in ice, landed in front of everyone.

The visitor was not the Zun Sheng, but his companion, the Ancestor Grand Saint Granny.

Grand Saint Granny glanced kindly at Lin Yi and nodded, "Zheng Yi, the people from Tongguan Prefecture have also arrived. Let's discuss important matters."

"I just entered the valley and sealed a strange beast alive."

"This strange beast resembles a toad, but it is as black as ink. It is especially thirsty for human blood. Most importantly, this beast is neither a demon nor a monster. Once it is killed, it will vanish with the wind and turn into Void."

Qian Wujiang had only just arrived and had not personally killed the toad beast before. He stepped forward to observe it and frowned. "Not Monster? But this thing looks no different from Monster."

Lin Yi also moved closer to observe. Although he had received news about the toad-like beast from Wu Shi, this was the first time he had ever seen one.

Even though the black toad-like beast before them was frozen by the Ancestral Saint's methods, it had not lost consciousness. It seemed to be observing the crowd with its eerie red pupils, assessing the situation.

This alone shows that this strange beast is quite Wisdom.

"Yes, this strange beast is not only not Monster, but its physique is as strong as crystal. Even ordinary Martial Dao Spirit Treasure are no match for it."

As he spoke, the Ancestral Saint unsealed the ice block on the back of the strange beast and personally conducted experiments for everyone.

Several Eight-Realm Martial Saint present tried it out and found that unless they used the power of their Domain in conjunction with their unique external skills to launch an attack, it would be difficult to harm the beast at its core.

Qian Wujiang asked, "Ancestral Saint, may I ask how many strange beasts are beneath Profound Wind Treasure Valley?"

Grand Saint Granny: "There are many. When I ventured deep into the valley before, I discovered that the number of strange beasts was endless, seemingly occupying the entire Profound Wind Treasure Valley."

"Hiss, there are so many strange beasts. If each of them is comparable to seventh realm Martial Saint, then we alone probably won't be able to clear them out in a short time."

"Yes, the Profound Wind Treasure Valley is filled with Profound Wind, and these strange beasts tend to stick together, which makes it difficult for us to take action..."

"Where is the Zun Sheng now? If he were here, annihilating these strange beasts would be a piece of cake."

Seeing that killing the strange beast was not only ineffective but also time-consuming and laborious, many Eight-Realm Martial Saint Ancestor present frowned and spoke up, seemingly wanting the Zun Sheng to take action and resolve the matter.

Grand Saint Granny spoke in a deep voice, interrupting the discussion. "I cannot reveal the whereabouts of the Zun Sheng, and in the next few days, no Ninth Realm Martial Saint will be able to come to our aid."

Among the dozen or so people, an Eight-Realm Martial Saint spoke up, "With just us, I'm afraid we can only ensure that the strange beasts don't break out of Profound Wind Treasure Valley. As for going deep inside to find out the source of the rampant strange beasts, I'm afraid we're not up to the task."

Grand Saint Granny frowned in thought, and finally nodded slowly. "That's enough."

After determining the strategy for dealing with the alien beasts, the Eight-Realm Martial Saint present breathed a sigh of relief. Now, the Profound Wind Treasure Valley is full of unknown alien beasts, and even they dare not go deep into it.

If it's just about setting up a defensive line outside the valley to prevent the beasts from escaping, that wouldn't be too difficult.

As for the reason for the appearance of the strange beast, let the Zun Sheng investigate it later.

Subsequently, over the next two days, more than ten Eight-Realm Martial Saint Ancestor, along with numerous seventh realm Martial Saint, set up several defensive lines outside Profound Wind Treasure Valley.

Any strange beast that attempts to leave Profound Wind Treasure Valley will be met with their thunderous annihilation.

Through several battles, the people of Martial Saint City also discovered that although this toad-like beast was not afraid of Profound Wind, its combat power and stealth ability would be greatly reduced if it left Profound Wind Treasure Valley too far away.
