726: Wild Grass Town’s Response

“This is…”

“An Earth Demonic Bear?!”

Following Morton’s direction, the Death Spirit Captain looked at the carbonized corpse.

This sight made his body tremble uncontrollably.

The Earth Demonic Bear.

A Peak Seventh-Stage Demonic Beast.

With thick skin, tough flesh, and infinite strength, it was a Tyrant in the central region of the Demon Beast Forest.

When it went berserk, even an ordinary Early Stage Eighth-Stage Strong would have to expend considerable effort to kill it.

And now, a dignified Peak Seventh-Stage Earth Demonic Bear had died here so miserably, turning into a shrunken, carbonized corpse.

How could this not shock the Death Spirit Captain?

If this Earth Demonic Bear were to attack their Yecao Town, perhaps only with the Hunting Team’s elites all out, and the Hunting Team Leader taking action, would they be able to kill it.

“That Human Race Strong is definitely not an ordinary Eighth-Stage Demigod; he has probably reached Peak Eighth-Stage, his strength comparable to Lord Black Snake, who is currently patrolling the Demon Beast Forest.”

The Death Spirit Captain thought with shock, his eyes already becoming incredibly solemn.

What died here was not just a Peak Seventh-Stage Earth Demonic Bear, but tens of thousands of Demonic Beasts.

The Death Spirit Captain speculated that the Earth Demonic Bear’s corpse was preserved because it was not at the center of the attack; it was killed by the aftermath.

Those Demonic Beasts at the center of the attack were probably evaporated into particles invisible to the naked eye by the terrifying power.

The Earth Demonic Bear at the periphery of the attack was killed, so the Death Spirit Captain couldn’t even imagine how powerful the Demonic Beasts that were completely evaporated at the center of the attack must have been.

And how powerful must the Human Race Strong who caused this terrifying destruction be!

“Stop taking things; we must return to the town immediately!”

“That Human Race Strong’s strength is absolutely beyond imagination. If he targets our Yecao Town, we might have to activate the Guardian Array to defend against him.”

“Go back and immediately report this matter to the Hunting Team Leader. The Guardian Array must be kept in a state where it can be activated at any time.”

Waving his hand to collect the Earth Demonic Bear’s corpse, the Death Spirit Captain quickly motioned for his companions to leave.

They sped along the way.

The three Dead Spirits dared not stop, returning to Yecao Town at their fastest speed.

As the news was reported to the Town Chief and the Hunting Team Leader, Yecao Town immediately entered a state of alert.

At the same time, a translucent light membrane enveloped the entire Yecao Town, and a large number of Hunting Team members began patrolling the town.

…

While Yecao Town was on full alert, not far outside the town, a figure with a grim expression emerged from the shadow of a large tree.

“Damn it!”

“What’s going on?”

“Why did this Dead Spirit small town activate its Guardian Array?”

Bai Yuliang looked at the translucent light membrane covering the entire town in the distance with a grim expression, a shadow appearing in his eyes.

This layer of light membrane was an external manifestation of Yecao Town’s Guardian Array being in a semi-activated state, meaning Yecao Town could activate the full power of the Guardian Array at any time.

Although Bai Yuliang was a Saint of Xuantian Holy Land and his own strength had reached Peak Sixth-Stage, with Xu Yun, an Eighth-Stage Middle Stage Dao Protector, by his side, he dared not attack Yecao Town, which had activated its Guardian Array.

The power of this kind of Guardian Array was extremely strong; it not only possessed extremely powerful defensive capabilities, but enemies who entered it would also be severely restrained, and…

The host of the Guardian Array, under the blessing of the Array’s power, could momentarily unleash Eighth-Stage Late Stage or even Peak Eighth-Stage power.

“Could it be that Black Snake giving me trouble behind my back?”

Bai Yuliang’s face was grim, and he was already speculating whether that Black Snake had taken the spirit crystals but didn’t do his job, secretly transmitting messages to Yecao Town.

After all, only the Dead Spirit Race’s patrolman Black Snake, his Dao Protector Xu Yun, and he himself knew that he was going to attack Yecao Town tonight.

“Saint, it’s probably the power fluctuations that erupted in the distance earlier that made this Dead Spirit small town vigilant.”

“Let’s retreat tonight; with Yecao Town having activated its Guardian Array, we two alone cannot break through it.”

At this moment, Xu Yun’s figure appeared beside Bai Yuliang, speaking to persuade him.

Hearing Xu Yun’s words, Bai Yuliang’s face was ashen, his eyes filled with immense unwillingness.

However, he also knew that Xu Yun was right.

Facing Yecao Town, which had already activated its Guardian Array, even if they used all their trump cards, they would not be able to break through the Guardian Array’s defense. At that time, they would also expose themselves and might even attract the attention of the Dead Spirit Race’s Blade City Strongs.

“Elder Xu, you went to check the situation in the east earlier; did you find anything?”

Suppressing his emotions, Bai Yuliang turned to Xu Yun and asked.

He should have acted earlier, but because of the terrifying energy fluctuations that suddenly erupted in the distance, he decided to wait.

As a result, this wait brought about Yecao Town’s full alert.

“The one who acted is very strong, above me, at least Peak Eighth-Stage, and possibly even a Ninth-Stage God-Demon.”

“After I went there, I only saw a mess and found no trace of that Strong.”

“However, the power Qi remaining on the spot is full of sacred meaning, so the one who acted is very likely from Chongming Holy Land or Aurora Holy Land.”

Xu Yun thought of the scene he had seen earlier and said with an incredibly solemn tone.

“A Strong from Chongming Holy Land or Aurora Holy Land?”

Bai Yuliang pondered upon hearing this.

These two Holy Lands, along with Xuantian Holy Land, belong to the Eight Great Sacred Grounds, the top powers in the Netherworld. The power they cultivate aligns with sacred power, and their characteristics are very distinct.

“Elder Xu.”

At this moment, Bai Yuliang suddenly thought of something and looked up, asking Xu Yun with a serious expression:

“Could this Strong who suddenly displayed his strength in the Demon Beast Forest be that Wang Chen’s Dao Protector?”

“This Wang Chen comes from Chongming Holy Land or Aurora Holy Land.”

“Impossible.”

Xu Yun shook his head upon hearing this, saying decisively:

“This old man has seen the ruins outside Qing Shi City; the power Qi remaining there is vast and mighty, full of sharpness, indicating a Strong who has gone very far on the Dao of the blade.”

“The power fluctuations remaining here in the Demon Beast Forest are completely different from there.”

“Is that so?”

“Then is there a possibility that Wang Chen has two Dao Protectors, one proficient in sacred power, and one proficient in using a blade…”

Bai Yuliang put forward another guess, but before he finished speaking, he shook his head, chuckled, and fell silent.

Having two Peak Eighth-Stage or even Ninth-Stage God-Demon Dao Protectors was simply a fantasy.

Even the direct descendant of a Tenth-Stage Great Emperor would not have such a configuration when traveling.

“It seems the Demon Beast Forest is going to be restless, but that’s good too.”

“The appearance of a Peak Eighth-Stage or even suspected Ninth-Stage God-Demon Strong will definitely attract the attention of the Dead Spirit Race, and it might even reduce some pressure on my side.”
