76: Chapter 76 A Multitude of Amethyst Powerhouses Emerge! To Save Jiang Yun!

On the plaza.

The sudden extinguishing of the Phantom Light Jellyfish's light screen.

Was like an ominous signal.

That made everyone's hearts tighten.

Unease and panic spread through the crowd like a plague.

"Mayor! We must immediately confirm the situation inside the arena!"

Principal of Qingquan No. 1 Middle School, Principal, was the first to stand up.

His tone was urgent.

The Mayor of C City looked grave and immediately summoned the Captain of the First Battalion of the City Defense Team.

A steady, battle-hardened Gold Rank Beast Tamer.

"Contact the Inner Perimeter Patrol Squad immediately and report the situation!"

The Mayor ordered.

The Captain did not dare to delay and immediately tried to contact them through the City Defense Team's specialized Communication Crystal.

However, once, twice... of the seven Inner Perimeter Patrol Squads, not a single one responded.

The deathly silence on the other end of the Communication Crystal was chilling.

The Captain's face instantly became extremely unsightly. He looked up at the Mayor and the other big shots, his voice dry: "Reporting to the Mayor... all seven Inner Perimeter Patrol Squads... cannot... be reached!"

"What?!"

"Cannot be reached?"

As soon as these words were spoken,

Several big figures on the high platform suddenly changed color.

A huge uproar also broke out in the spectator stands.

Seven City Defense squads lost contact at the same time?

Each of their squads had at least one powerhouse at Bronze Rank Three or above!

Inside the Misty Forest.

A world-shaking change must have occurred!

"Assemble! All members of the City Defense Team's First Battalion, assemble! Enter the Misty Forest immediately to rescue the students and find out what's happening!"

The Mayor made a prompt decision.

His voice spread throughout the plaza.

The City Defense Team Captain took the order.

He immediately blew a sharp assembly whistle.

The atmosphere of the entire plaza instantly tightened.

A murderous aura filled the air.

The Mayor paced back and forth, his brow furrowed with deep worry: "Those are the most outstanding young talents of our C City this year... if... if something happens..."

He didn't dare think further.

That would be a fatal blow to the future of C City.

There would be a generational gap in the young Genius generation... Just as the City Defense Team was quickly assembling.

Preparing to set out.

"They're out! Someone is coming out!"

Someone shouted.

Everyone's eyes instantly turned to the outer edge of the Misty Forest.

They saw students, disheveled, their clothes torn, and panic still lingering on their faces, supporting each other as they stumbled out of the forest.

"My son!"

"My daughter!"

"Young Master!"

The various Families and the anxiously waiting parents immediately rushed forward.

For a moment, calls and cries rang out together.

Many students who had mentally collapsed could no longer restrain themselves the moment they saw their relatives and began to wail loudly.

"Dead! So many classmates are dead! Wuwuwu..."

"It was too terrifying! Those men in black robes... they were killing people... and stealing Spirit Beasts!"

"We almost didn't make it back!"

The venting after a narrow escape and the release of fear.

Left the plaza filled with an atmosphere of sadness and chaos.

The Xiao Family Head, Xiao Zhan.

A hale and hearty old man with a natural air of authority, along with Lin Kuo's father, a refined middle-aged man, quickly found Xiao Yutian and Lin Kuo with their clansmen.

"Yutian, what exactly happened?"

Xiao Zhan asked in a deep voice.

His gaze was sharp.

Xiao Yutian's face was pale.

He took a deep breath and with difficulty uttered four words: "It's... the Yuhai Cult!"

Lin Kuo also nodded heavily from the side, adding: "They invaded the arena and snatched Spirit Beasts! They killed several classmates..."

"Yuhai Cult?!"

These four words were like a clap of thunder.

Exploding in the ears of the big shots and the sharp-eared audience members.

Common people might have only heard of their notoriety.

But these high-level figures knew full well the cruelty and persistence of this cult.

"It's actually this group of insidious and cunning madmen!"

Lei Lie, the Principal of Leiting Middle School, took a sharp breath.

Principal of Bedrock Middle School, his face was also incredibly grave: "How could they appear here? And accurately attack the tournament arena?"

"How... did you all escape?"

The Mayor quickly grasped the key point.

Faced with an organized cult attack.

These young students were actually able to escape in large numbers.

It was simply a miracle.

Just then.

Zhao Tiezhu, who was panting and recovering his strength, suddenly looked up.

He used all his strength to shout hoarsely:

"Principal! Mayor! Quickly, go save Jiang Yun! To cover our retreat, Jiang Yun stayed behind alone to stall a Cult Protector of the Yuhai Cult! Quickly, go save him!!"

This shout of his.

Was like lighting a fuse.

Instantly.

Those students who had been saved by Jiang Yun seemed to have found their pillar of support, and their suppressed emotions exploded.

They all shouted with bloodshot eyes:

"Yes! Quickly, go save Jiang Yun!"

"It was Jiang Yun who saved us!"

"Without Jiang Yun, we would probably all be dead!"

"Save Jiang Yun!!"

The waves of sound grew louder and louder.

Jiang Yun's name resounded through the plaza.

Filled with urgency, pleading, and immense recognition.

This scene.

Left all the confused spectators and some parents stunned.

Jiang Yun?

The guy who was seen as a laughingstock when the competition began.

The one everyone said would be eliminated.

How did he become the savior in the mouths of all the Genius students in the blink of an eye?

Xiao Yutian looked at the excited classmates around him.

Then he looked at his grandfather and father.

He took a deep breath and said loudly: "Jiang Yun... he hid his strength. His Wind Thunder Cloud Sparrow doesn't just have the strength of a Bronze First Tier, he also has a Fire Dragon Fish with the strength of a Bronze Rank Seven..."

Lin Kuo also agreed, his tone incredibly complex.

"It was him who stood up when the cult surrounded us and slaughtered our classmates. With thunderous methods, he instantly killed multiple cultists and their Mutated Fierce Beasts, opening a path of escape for us. Finally, he faced the Cult Protector alone to cover our retreat..."

Bronze Rank Seven!

Covering the retreat alone, fighting a Cult Protector!

These two pieces of information.

Were like two heavy bombs, exploding violently in the crowd.

"Bronze Rank Seven?! My god?! He has two Spirit Beasts?!"

"This... how is this possible?!"

"This Jiang Yun was actually hiding something!"

"Sacrificing himself to let everyone else escape... what kind of courage is that!"

"A hero! Jiang Yun is simply a hero of our C City!"

Exclamations, praises, and unbelievable discussions swept through the venue like a tsunami.

The expressions on everyone's faces were filled with extreme shock and awe.

On the high platform.

Several big shots were equally shaken.

When Principal heard about the Bronze Rank Seven,

His eyes widened, and his face broke out in shock and joy, but hearing that Jiang Yun was covering the retreat alone, his heart instantly leapt into his throat.

"This kid... this kid was actually hiding something...! Bronze Rank Seven? Wasn't he only at Bronze Second Tier half a month ago? Not good! He's facing a Cult Protector alone, he might be in danger!"

Principal's heart shook.

He became anxious.

He could no longer sit still.

The Mayor's eyes flashed with brilliant light, and he slammed the armrest: "Good! What a Jiang Yun! Fearless in the face of danger, self-sacrificing, and peerlessly talented! He truly is the Qilin child of our C City's younger generation! We must save him at all costs!"

Su Chengtian couldn't find his daughter Su Qingxue among the servants and was already burning with anxiety. Now, he was even more determined to enter the forest.

"My daughter Su Qingxue doesn't seem to be in the crowd! I will go as well!"

The Su Family Head said in a deep voice.

Only then did everyone realize with a start.

It seemed that since entering the Misty Forest.

They had not encountered Su Qingxue.

Had Su Qingxue already met with misfortune?

At the same time.

Xiao Zhan of the Xiao Family, the renowned number one person below amethyst rank in C City, stepped forward, his voice like a great bell: "Young friend Jiang Yun saved my grandson Yutian. My Xiao Family must repay this debt. This old man is willing to go along to rescue Jiang Yun."

"There's no time to lose!"

Principal was already burning with anxiety.

He took a sudden step forward, and the vast spiritual energy around him erupted. A terrifying pressure far exceeding the Gold Rank instantly enveloped the venue!

"Old partner, come out!"

He raised his hands, and the space in front of him was suddenly torn open, revealing a huge rift. From the rift came a roar that seemed to come from the ancient wilderness!

The next moment.

A massive creature stepped out from it!

It was a giant beast covered in dark gold scales, resembling a lion but with a pair of curved Dragon horns! Its four limbs were as thick as palace pillars, it trod on the Void Realm, and faint golden flames burned around its body. Its majestic gaze swept in all directions, making all things submit!

Amethyst Seventh Tier! Dragon Flame Golden Ni!

"Roar—!"

A roar that was a mix of Dragon and lion shook the heavens and earth, the entrance effects were maxed out!

Seeing this, the Mayor no longer hesitated and said loudly: "How can we allow such a hero to be harmed by a cult!"

Sacred white light surged around him.

A huge gate of light opened above his head.

A clear and high-pitched cry rang out, and a giant divine bird with a wingspan of over twenty meters, its body carved like white jade and its tail feathers elegant like cloud ribbons, flew out gracefully.

It was surrounded by auspicious clouds and a gentle yet powerful light element force.

Purple Crystal Tier 5! Cloud Rainbow Sacred Luan!

Su Chengtian didn't say a word, but his actions were even faster.

He waved his sleeve.

A flash of green light appeared, and an extraordinary divine eagle surrounded by streaks of wind blades appeared in the sky. Its speed was so fast that it seemed to merge into the wind.

Amethyst Tier 3! Wind Spirit Divine Eagle!

Xiao Zhan laughed loudly, his voice shaking the fields: "How can I be left out!"

He stomped his foot.

The power of the earth surged, and a giant turtle phantom, comparable in size to a small mountain, with ancient runes carved on its shell and a Dragon's head and snake's tail, appeared and then solidified. It exuded a defensive power as heavy as a mountain, but beneath its four feet, earthy yellow cloud Qi condensed, lifting it slowly into the air.

Gold Rank Ninth Tier Peak! Black Tortoise Sacred Turtle!

Four Spirit Beasts appeared!

Four Spirit Beasts of different forms, but all exuding an aura that could destroy heaven and earth!

That vast, sea-like pressure combined.

Making the air of the entire plaza freeze!

Everyone felt it difficult to breathe.

Yet their hearts were racing as they watched this spectacular scene, rarely seen in daily life, without blinking!

Amethysts emerging together!

All to rescue one person!

Jiang Yun!

Old Li slowly stood up, although he did not summon a Spirit Beast.

But the steady and unfathomable aura about him seemed even more reassuring than the four Amethyst powerhouses combined.

He said in a deep voice: "The Yuhai Cult is a cancer of the Human Race! You all go ahead with peace of mind. You must find clues to their branch base and strive to pull them out by the roots! This place will be guarded by this old man, and I will not let the cult set a single foot into C City."

The Mayor nodded.

With Old Li guarding.

He could rest easy.

He loudly announced to the entire venue: "Everyone, the cult has invaded, and the competition is suspended! All citizens can evacuate back to the city area with the City Defense Team! Those with the ambition to crusade against the cult can enter the forest with the City Defense Team to clear out the cult!"

"Exterminate the cult!"

"Rescue Jiang Yun!"

"Fight them to the end!"

The crowd was indignant.

Many Beast Tamers felt their blood boil and responded loudly.

Under the organization of the City Defense Team.

They began to enter the forest in an orderly manner.

Principal could no longer wait.

He leapt onto the broad back of the Dragon Flame Golden Ni. The Golden Ni let out a roar, its four hooves treading on fire, as it turned into a golden stream of light, shooting straight towards the Misty Forest at a terrifying speed!

The Mayor, Su Chengtian, and Xiao Zhan also immediately mounted their Spirit Beasts and followed closely behind!

Four powerful auras were like four sharp arrows.

Piercing into the depths of the forest!

However.

Just as the four Amethyst powerhouses had flown less than a thousand meters into the outskirts of the Misty Forest, a sudden change occurred.

"Buzz—!!"

An indescribable, terrifying pressure that seemed to come from the nine levels of Hell, like a sleeping primordial Vicious Beast awakening, erupted from the Core Area of the forest.

This pressure was so strong that it far exceeded the combination of the four Amethyst powerhouses, even causing Old Li's expression to change suddenly!

"Roar—!!!"

Accompanied by a terrifying roar enough to shatter the Soul and make all living beings within dozens of miles tremble.

A cold, hoarse voice that clearly reached the depths of everyone's ears rang out like an announcement:

"Everyone, the Holy Cult is conducting business. You all... stop for now!"

Before the voice could fade.

A vast energy mixed with extreme darkness and deathly aura, like a black tsunami, swept out from the depths of the forest, violently crashing into Principal and the other three.

The expressions of the four Amethyst powerhouses changed drastically.

They all pushed their Spirit Beasts to defend with all their might.

Boom————!!!

The violent collision of energy.

Made the entire edge of the Misty Forest tremble.

The strength of the newcomer was truly terrifying.
