Zhu Peizi, who had previously been in the sound waves, had already withdrawn, and now he and his Senior Brother He each occupied one side.
Despite the Beast King's attack being thwarted, there was no joy in their eyes.
Xu Long, below, was also ready for battle under the banners, just like them.
Xu Long knew that this was merely a single blow from the Beast King, Beast King was mocking Perfected Lord Pinglu.
Despite the presence of two real-life warriors, they were like ants to the Beast King, at most requiring considerable effort to deal with.
Despite the Beast King's presence outside, the true pillars of the dojo never appeared; the two True Immortals barely managed to withstand the Beast King's probing.
If the True Lord does not appear, then the two True Immortals will likely be transformed into their dantian energy and devoured one by one.
With no strong internal support and a stubborn external enemy, the people's joy would soon turn into deep worry.
Because at this moment, the sound of an earthquake was already heard Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary!
The horde of ferocious beasts from afar has arrived!
As the Beast King attacked, Xu Long kept an eye on the movements on the distant black horizon.
Because he had previously encountered the Beast King and the Beast Tide in the Boundless Wilderness, but at that time the two were not yet fully developed.
The Beast King fled relentlessly through the air, while the beast tide was slaughtered by a streak of light.
Despite their formidable power, they still had to flee before that streak of light.
Xu Long didn't know why the Beast King would come to Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary after escaping, and why it would gather a large number of ferocious beasts to attack the formation of Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary.
He wondered: Why did that stream of light within the beast tide allow the Beast King to escape?
Or, after provoking the powerful master of that stream of light, why did the Beast King still come to the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary to wreak havoc?
Various thoughts flashed through Xu Long's mind, but he had no time to think about them further, because his worries had become everyone else's worries.
The surrounding beast tide, like a black tidal wave, began to sweep around the entire Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary.
The cultivators inside could only watch helplessly as the ferocious beasts covering the mountains and plains opened their huge mouths, bared their fangs, and roared at them.
Then, suddenly, darkness descended upon the sky above, and the aura of the Beast King completely descended upon the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary!
"Bah!"
A piercing scream rang in everyone's ears.
Above the sky, there was a colossal creature, spreading its wings and descending from the heavens.
The Beast King's body was thousands of miles wide; its presence in the sky could even block out the sun and moon.
Its pale yellow downy feathers rippled slightly around its neck. It merely spread its wings, and the strong wind beneath it lifted it high into the air.
Beneath the horizon, it seems incredibly light; as long as there is airflow, it can forever rule the sky!
A tubercle stood atop its head, like a crown being lifted.
With countless ferocious beasts bowing down to it beneath its body, the aura of the Beast King was revealed, causing an uproar both Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary.
Amidst the deafening roar, countless ferocious beasts were gathered together.
Among them were several figures of high-level ferocious beasts, urging the beast tide to surge before the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart Formation.
The black horizon had stopped spreading, and what appeared before everyone was a black wave rolling in reverse.
The dark sky was completely devoid of light, and only a sharp gaze was fixed upon the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary.
The owner of that gaze was high above, as if he were a favorite of the heavens, with a touch of aloofness, looking down at the Pinglu Main Vein.
It knew its true rival was among them!
"Fellow Daoists, now that the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary is besieged and facing a critical situation both internally and externally, we must prioritize the greater good!"
"Our escape routes are now blocked by the beast tide, which is about to attack the dojo's formation. We should channel our own Magic Power to defend the dojo!"
"Transfer your Magic Power and firmly guard the sacred site!"
"Transfer your Magic Power and firmly guard the sacred site!"
Seeing the seemingly endless horde of beasts approaching, the leading cultivator at the front finally changed his expression.
At this moment, they were already calling out to Perfected Lord Pinglu a thousand times in their hearts, but little did they know that Perfected Lord Pinglu was in seclusion and could not hear such a commotion.
Left with no other choice, they could only crush communication talismans to request reinforcements while simultaneously gathering cultivators from various formations.
A sound wave spread above everyone's heads, signaling the leading cultivator to instruct everyone to channel their Magic Power under the banner.
Just now, everyone was separated by a True Spirit and stood in their respective positions according to their cultivation level.
Only then did they realize that separating everyone had been planned all along.
However, the cultivators no longer cared about anything at this point, because the beast tide on the outer perimeter had indeed begun to gather.
As high-level ferocious beasts roared and weaved through the crowd, the beast tide converged into a black wave, rushing towards the distance before crashing heavily into the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart Formation.
Upon hearing the call, all the cultivators began to channel their own Magic Power, for the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart was now the last barrier.
If the beast tide breaks the formation, then it will be a lose-lose situation, and who can guarantee they will survive the beast tide alone?
The cultivators under the banners gave a low shout in unison, and with the pull of a surge of energy, they began to condense their own Magic Power.
Standing beneath the enormous banners, Xu Long discovered that these banners were indeed somewhat wondrous.
It stood still in the same spot before it was activated, but after the leading cultivator began to guide it...
The banner began to move slowly, and the mysterious patterns on it emitted a faint golden light.
Xu Long carefully examined the patterns on it, and the Magic Power he was channeling was also drawn into those patterns.
As the accumulated Magic Power increased, the banner slowly began to sink into the ground.
The originally compacted soil crumbled under the pestle, and the banner, like a canopy, slowly sank.
Only then did Xu Long realize that after absorbing everyone's Magic Power, these banners were meant to be integrated with the defensive formation, dissipating the external impact within the entire training ground.
With so many cultivators circulating within the dojo, the formation can be continuously reinforced.
This formation truly lives up to its reputation as a creation of Perfected Lord Pinglu, as it even takes into account the cultivators within the dojo.
Under the banners, the cultivators continuously channeled their own Magic Power, causing the energy within the training ground to surge dramatically.
A muffled, thunderous sound echoed in their ears from time to time, and the array flags that were originally buried deep in the ground began to move.
Upon receiving the order from the leading cultivator, no one dared to delay, lest the beast tide break through the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart Formation and wreak havoc inside the training grounds.
Xu Long, however, knew that the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart Formation was personally set up by Perfected Lord Pinglu, and that the beast tide alone would probably be unable to break through it.
The real threat doesn't lie in the beast horde, but in the Beast King!
After all, the beast tide was only guided by a few high-level ferocious beasts, while the real driving force behind it was the Beast King in the sky.
Xu Long had seen this beast Beast King before; it had used the beast tide to cover its retreat.
At this moment, it would only take a moment for them to unleash another beast tide to attack the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary.
