283: Chapter 283 Demons Attack the City

"They all want to defeat you," Elder Mu Shan continued.

After learning that Lin Ming had achieved a Breakthrough in the Spirit Treasury Realm and would be participating in this exchange, this group of people had all rushed to sign up, hoping to participate and wash away their previous shame.

Unfortunately, the number of people who could participate in this exchange was limited; not everyone could join.

For this reason, these practitioners of the Spirit Treasury Realm held internal battles. The winners would participate in the exchange and then find a way to face Lin Ming and defeat him.

"Then I shall wait," Lin Ming said with a smile.

"By the way, where has Senior Sister Shiyun gone? I haven't seen her for a while," Lin Ming asked.

"That stubborn girl hasn't returned to the Sect since her Breakthrough to Kuhai Master," Elder Mu Shan said, shaking her head.

Regarding this Disciple, who was also her only Disciple, she really didn't know what to do.

Ever since this girl achieved a Breakthrough in the Bitter Sea Realm, she had been staying outside.

She probably took on a few long-term missions. Based on her understanding of her Disciple, she knew she was prone to doing such things.

"Senior Sister Shiyun will be fine," Lin Ming said with a smile.

"I hope so."

The spirit boat sped along.

Between the forces of the Yongzhen Sect and the Shangji Sect, there existed a vast buffer zone, a place where various major Sects and noble clans vied for control.

It could also be described as an extremely chaotic land.

The two spirit boats displayed the insignias of Yuanxu Mountain and the Yongzhen Sect, which immediately deterred those with ill intentions and suppressed their restless hearts.

Neither of these two Sects was someone they could afford to offend.

However, when the spirit boat had traveled not far from a city, the spirit boat of Yuanxu Mountain suddenly stopped.

Seeing the Yuanxu Mountain spirit boat suddenly stop, the spirit boat of the Yongzhen Sect also came to a halt.

Peak Master Zhao Wuhai was seen standing on the deck, looking at the city ahead.

Immediately after, Elder Mu Shan's figure appeared beside Peak Master Zhao Wuhai.

She frowned and looked in the direction of the city.

"Yao Beast," Peak Master Zhao Wuhai uttered these two words.

"It should be called a Demon Beast," Elder Mu Shan said coldly.

Both of their Divine Thoughts had already reached inside the city.

They saw dozens of Yao Beasts slaughtering people within the city, devouring the essence and spirit of humans.

A portion of the practitioners were resisting these dozens of Yao Beasts, but most were no match for them.

Most practitioners chose to quickly flee the city.

If this continued, the city would likely fall.

But where did these Demon Beasts come from? Now was not the time to think about that.

Since Demon Beasts had appeared, they needed to eliminate them; otherwise, it would be troublesome if they were allowed to grow.

"Eliminate them," Elder Mu Shan said coldly.

Yao Beasts that had entered the Demonic Path must be eliminated; otherwise, they would be an endless source of trouble for humanity.

"For these Demon Beasts, I actually think we should let them have a try," Peak Master Zhao Wuhai said, seemingly having an idea.

"You mean to let them go?" Elder Mu Shan immediately realized.

The strength of these Demon Beasts was between the Spirit Treasury Realm and the Bitter Sea Realm.

Among them, the practitioners of the Lingcang and Bitter Sea Realms were indeed the most numerous.

Peak Master Zhao Wuhai's meaning was simple: have the Disciples of the two Sects deal with these Demon Beasts to train them.

"That is indeed a good idea," Elder Mu Shan nodded after a moment of thought.

"Then let them go."

There was no time to lose; it was time for them to face it.

Elder Mu Shan left the Yongzhen Sect's spirit boat and returned to the Yuanxu Mountain spirit boat.

Soon, the spirit boat landed.

Everyone was quickly gathered there.

"In the city ahead, Demon Beasts are running rampant. You need to go and eliminate them," Peak Master Zhao Wuhai said.

Demon Beasts?! Upon hearing these two words, everyone was shocked. They naturally knew what Demon Beasts meant.

Lin Ming had already noticed the Yao Beasts running rampant in the city ahead.

Most of these Yao Beasts were exuding an aura of blood and malevolence, their eyes covered in blood-red color, slaughtering any humans they saw.

"What is the strength of these Demon Beasts?" a Disciple asked at this moment.

"Spirit Treasury Realm and Bitter Sea Realm; you are enough," Peak Master Zhao Wuhai continued.

"Go, the people from the Yongzhen Sect have probably already set off."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people walked out of the spirit boat and rushed toward the city.

During this time, they also saw many people fleeing the city.

After spending some time traveling, they finally arrived at the city.

However, before they had even walked into the city, a figure flew out from the city wall and slammed heavily onto the ground.

"Roar..." A leopard immediately looked at the crowd and charged.

A Fifth-level Yao Beast—the Golden-Eyed Leopard.

It had a pair of golden eyes, which possessed extremely powerful strength.

However, this pair of golden eyes was now a pair of blood-red eyes.

"Leave it to me," a Disciple of the Yongzhen Sect at the Middle Stage of the Spirit Treasury Realm stepped out and took the initiative to face this Golden-Eyed Leopard.

In an instant, the person and the leopard collided.

"Let's go," another Disciple of the Yongzhen Sect said in a deep voice.

They could not waste all their time here; there were still many Demon Beasts running rampant in the city.

"Roar..." Roars and screams filled this land.

"Let's go."

Whether it was the Disciples of Yuanxu Mountain or the Disciples of the Yongzhen Sect, they held nothing back when facing these Demon Beasts.

They immediately began to fight with these Demon Beasts.

As for Lin Ming, he also encountered a Demon Beast, and this Demon Beast also noticed Lin Ming.

Fifth-level Lingcang; Lin Ming saw through the strength of this Demon Beast at a glance.

Or rather, these Demon Beasts did not hide their cultivation at all; instead, they displayed it openly.

Fourth-level Sword Intent.

One sword strike.

This strike, carrying the Fourth-level Sword Intent, was unleashed directly, sending this Demon Beast away.

"Roar..." Just after Lin Ming killed this Demon Beast, the commotion it caused attracted another Demon Beast.

A bear, a bear that looked incredibly ferocious.

It went directly to the Yao Beast that Lin Ming had killed.

It tore into it with its large mouth, devouring the corpse of the Demon Beast, converting it all into its own power.

After seeing this scene, Lin Ming also made no move.

He just quietly watched the bear feed.

Until only some fur remained of that Demon Beast; everything except the fur had been eaten clean.

However, this bear was far from full, and perhaps it felt Lin Ming's Qi.

Its gaze locked onto Lin Ming.
