Dozens of streaks of light flashed across the sky.
Among them, a pale blue light was the most eye-catching and the fastest, rushing ahead at the forefront.
A martial artist at the Martial Infant Realm can reach speeds of several times Mach on Blue Star when running at full speed. As one of the few Sixth-Tier Martial Artist capable of long-term flight, Zuo Qingyu can cover a distance of nearly a hundred miles in just a few dozen seconds.
Around her were many figures of slightly lower strength, two of whom, while not as powerful as her, were still at the same level.
Three Martial Infant Realm experts are more than capable of resisting a large Secret Realm that has no Dao Observation Realm and only five Martial Infant Realm Mutant Beast.
"Principal Zuo, something seems amiss this time."
Principal Fengyun, his temples streaked with gray, spoke in a deep, solemn voice:
"I sensed an aura beyond the Dao Observation Realm! Has the Qingyi Bureau replied yet?"
"Not at the moment."
Zuo Qingyu remained calm, but her delicate hand, hidden in her sleeve, quietly grasped a pure white Jade Slip.
This was Supreme Treasure Ye Li had specially commissioned someone to deliver to her.
Even with the Divine Consciousness of the Martial Infant Realm cultivator, one could easily detect the immense energy within, filled with destructive intent.
If the situation truly spirals out of control, this single Jade Slip would be enough to turn the tide of the battle.
The young man handed the Jade Slip to her, presumably trusting that she could make the right decision at a crucial moment.
No one else knew anything about the Jade Slip. The high-ranking law enforcement officer dispatched by the Qingyi Bureau looked over and whispered:
"If we do encounter Beast Venerable at the Dao Observation Realm later, I urge you two to retreat immediately and seek reinforcements from headquarters. I have my own way of escaping."
As a martial arts expert who had undergone rigorous training at the Qingyi Bureau, although his cultivation level was not as high as that of the two principals of Fengyun University, he still understood the importance of preserving his strength.
As the distance continues to shrink.
The vast "black wave" then came into view, with tens of thousands of Mutant Beast rushing across the dark earth and charging towards Fengyun City.
Above the Beast Tide, a man clad in heavy blue armor stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on the dozens of streaks of light of various colors approaching from the horizon, smiling without uttering a word.
As a Wintergreen Worm that had just entered the mid-stage of the Dao Observation Realm, it possessed a considerable degree of intelligence and extraordinary perception. After the Secret Realm descended to this place, it did not act rashly because of the alluring fragrance coming from outside the Secret Realm.
Instead, they spent two full weeks using nearly half of the Secret Realm Mutant Beast from the secret realm to test the actual strength of the creatures from the outside world.
Now that intelligence has been gathered and there are no significant external threats, it can launch a counterattack!
"Principal Zuo..."
Both Martial Nascent Soul experts twitched as they looked at the heavily armored man.
Principal Fengyun couldn't help but say, "Let's retreat one after the other."
The opponent must be Mutant Beast at the Dao Observation Realm level; otherwise, it wouldn't be able to instill such a strong sense of crisis in them.
For the three Martial Nascent Soul experts to stop such a being, one of them would need to break through to a higher level during the battle, while the other two could buy themselves ample time.
Otherwise, no miracle would happen.
Moreover, with the current strength of Huaxia Qingyi Bureau, suppressing a mid-stage Dao Observation Realm Mutant Beast is a piece of cake; it just requires some time to mobilize.
However, Zuo Qingyu's expression remained calm, and her voice was indifferent. "There's no need for that."
It's just a bit of a pity about that Jade Slip.
Aside from the Fengyun Gold Medal that had already been returned, this was the first gift the other party had given him.
Thinking of this, she exhaled deeply. The light in front of her seemed to be distorted on a large scale, and the Spiritual Energy suddenly became violent, making her slightly dizzy.
"You..."
She was about to tell the people behind her to retreat, since no one knew what kind of terrifying power was contained within the Jade Slip, when she suddenly saw everything in front of her become blurry, and the heavily armored man with a smile on his face froze.
Golden particles shimmered in the sunlight, time seemed to slow down countless times, the world seemed to be forced to stop breathing, and a visible storm of Spiritual Energy was rapidly born in the Beast Tide, like a newborn dragon stretching its limbs. Everyone stood there dumbfounded, no one could move an inch.
This is...
In the blink of an eye, before anyone could react...
The "black wave" below was like clear water with red ink dripped into it, instantly transforming into a shocking blood-red wave. The dense, undulating stomping sound also disappeared, and everything began to change in complete silence.
The heavily armored man's smile vanished completely.
All the Divine Ability within him ceased to function, and a strange emotion welled up within him—a terror that originated from the very source, causing even his soul to tremble!
Unable to turn his neck, he could only stiffly move his gaze little by little until it finally focused on the clouds.
The thick, white-gold clouds churned and shimmered faintly. In that instant, the heavily armored man finally saw the stranger sitting above this magnificent Sea of Clouds.
His posture was unusually relaxed, even casual, yet the Spiritual Energy in the entire world was uncontrollably drawn to him, trembling incessantly as if in fear, to the point that it stirred up a massive Spiritual Energy storm.
"Immortal..."
The heavily armored man trembled violently, and an ancient word inexplicably surfaced in his mind. At that moment, he felt that the ancient-style clothes on the other person were so dazzlingly white that warm liquid began to flow from his eyes, and he could no longer see anything.
Including him, the entire Beast Tide collapsed and dissipated in an instant.
Hundreds of miles of blood flowed continuously, quickly turning the originally dark earth crimson!
Despite this dramatic change, the figure in the Firmament did not deliberately conceal its form, nor did it use any Divine Ability, yet it still made everyone's bodies stiffen and their hearts pound wildly!
"That is..."
Zuo Qingyu became aware of his presence, her lips trembled, and an unprecedented sense of fear instinctively arose in her heart!
Her gaze moved cautiously upwards along the white robe adorned with the Mountain and Sea patterns.
But he stopped when he reached the collar, feeling that the other person's figure was extremely familiar, yet he dared not move any further.
I was extremely apprehensive!
Even the peak Dao Observation Realm expert I had witnessed up close that day was far inferior to even one ten-thousandth of the being before me!
Her usual composure, unwavering even in the face of a collapsing mountain, vanished completely, replaced by shock and disbelief. Her once tranquil mind was now gripped by a tsunami of turmoil, her thoughts racing:
"I've never felt such a terrifying aura before! Where did this Deity come from?! Is it that Pillar of the Nation of the State of the Qingyi Bureau?!"
Perhaps it was the immense terror that gradually helped her regain control of her body.
Or perhaps the figure she was spying on was desperately suppressing its aura.
Zuo Qingyu slowly felt the presence of the tongue, but her voice still trembled exceptionally:
"I am... subordinate to Huaxia. May I ask who you are, Your Excellency?"
She heard a voice, almost like that of Immortal God, carrying a hint of amusement, drifting in like a gentle breeze, yet leaving everyone utterly stunned:
"Humor, didn't you write to insist that I come and help?"
