491: The beast tide is over, and the spiritual deer that has been frozen for a hundred thousand years is gone!

The Spirit Deer let out another cry. However, this time it didn't penetrate the entire relic as before, but merely drifted in the surrounding space.

"What... what's wrong with you?"

Lu Hao asked, somewhat puzzled. He clearly saw too many emotions in the Spirit Deer's eyes, a feeling that was fundamentally no different from a human!

The Spirit Deer didn't respond, but then, under Lu Hao's astonished gaze, a turbid tear slowly seeped from the corner of the Spirit Deer's eye, then rolled down.

Before the tear could fall to the ground, it turned into an ice bead, striking the hard ice surface with a crisp sound, shattering into countless tiny ice crystals.

"..."

Lu Hao was stunned. Why did it suddenly start crying upon seeing him?

What was it trying to do?

This Spirit Deer, whose Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering ten thousand years ago, had re-gathered its remnant soul and awakened with the help of an Immortal Grade Physical Body and a Formation. Afterwards, a mournful cry triggered the beast tide in the relic, yet now it was shedding tears upon seeing him?

What on earth happened?

However, Lu Hao didn't remain stunned for too long. After he reacted, he immediately said:

"Can you stop this beast tide outside? I know you have the ability."

Upon hearing Lu Hao's words, the Spirit Deer didn't hesitate for a moment, and once again let out a deer cry just like the first one. The deer cry was faint and ethereal, traveling through space and echoing throughout the entire relic.

The beast tide, which was frantically advancing towards the Northern Lands, had much of the ferocity in their eyes recede after hearing this deer cry, returning to their original state.

Then they stopped their advance, slowly turned around, and began to return in the direction of their original habitat.

Originally, Immortal Demon Beasts would frantically chase humans upon seeing their traces, but this deer cry actually made the Immortal Demon Beasts act as if they couldn't see humans.

Even if they were just fighting Cultivators a moment ago, they immediately retreated the next second.

All the Cultivators in the relic, upon seeing this scene, wept with joy:

"We survived, we actually survived!"

"Ahhh! I'm not dead! I really survived!!!"

"Heaven protect me, Heaven protect me! Let me survive successfully, and when I go back, I will offer you incense!"

"I want to get out, I don't want to stay in this place anymore, it's too terrifying..."

...Throughout the entire relic, various sounds could be heard everywhere, crying and wild laughter mixed together, venting the joy of these survivors escaping death.

Lü Chengtian and Wuji Old Ancestor exchanged glances and said with a chuckle:

"Master's move is indeed extraordinary. It's only been two hours, yet he has already resolved this beast tide. It's truly amazing..."

The few people around Lu Hao also returned to the location where Lu Hao had brought them in. Since the beast tide had disappeared, they had nothing else to do, so they simply returned here to wait for Lu Hao to leave together.

With a flick of their sleeves, nearly sixty thousand Cultivators immediately appeared on the ground!

These Cultivators were all the people the few had rescued from the beast tide during these two hours.

At this moment, the released Cultivators looked at the figures of the few and knelt down one after another, thanking them for saving their lives.

Mu Siyuan looked at the crowd and said lightly:

"Alright everyone, the beast tide has disappeared, and you should now go find your Opportunities again. Saving you was just a small effort, there's no need for this."

"Senior, your life-saving grace will never be forgotten. Senior, could you leave your name so that we can engrave it in our hearts!"

"That's right, Senior, leave your name, and we will sing your praises."

Mu Siyuan didn't speak, and directly led the crowd away from this place. The sixty thousand rescued Cultivators, seeing this, could only leave helplessly.

His true name could not be revealed, otherwise, he might get into big trouble!

...In the Northern Lands, after the deer cry ended, Lu Hao received a message from Lü Chengtian, understanding that the beast tide outside had retreated. So, he began to patiently study this Spirit Deer.

This deer... seeing him with such a gaze, did it know him?

It couldn't be, could it? How long had he been Transmigration here? This thing had been dead for ten thousand years and only awakened today.

This relic, this deer, seemed to hide deeper secrets than he had imagined.

Looking at the thick, unresolvable pain in the Spirit Deer's eyes and the shattered tear, Lu Hao sighed, and said helplessly:

"Fine, fine."

He patted the Spirit Deer's cold head, and a wisp of warm and gentle Grandmist Qi surged from his palm. Then he carefully guided it into the Spirit Deer's body, temporarily protecting that fragile remnant soul.

"No matter who you are, being frozen for ten thousand years, and still struggling to survive after your Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, is truly not easy."

"You wait a moment, I'll get you out first. After I save you, big guy, you have to tell me everything that happened ten thousand years ago, otherwise, I won't let you off!"

As Lu Hao's words fell, he stood up directly, then surveyed the massive frozen space.

After ten thousand years of freezing, the Spirit Deer's Physical Body had already merged with the ten-thousand-year-old Profound Ice. If he forcibly broke the ice layer, it would definitely harm it.

After much thought, Lu Hao still decided to first dig out the entire large block of ice around it.

Having made up his mind, Lu Hao moved, starting to move at high speed around the Spirit Deer. Soon, Lu Hao cut out a huge block of ice. Then, with a thought, Lu Hao put it into his Storage Pouch.

Before leaving, Lu Hao again collected some of the ten-thousand-year-old Profound Ice here. The cold Qi of this item was extremely terrifying. If someone Cultivated related Origins, such as the Origin of Ice, the Origin of Cold, or something similar, it should still be very useful.

Anyway, it wasn't troublesome.

After dealing with the Spirit Deer, Lu Hao originally wanted to exit through the original tunnel, but he helplessly found that after a period of time, the tunnel had been refilled with ice.

"The cold Qi here is so abundant? It closed up again so quickly..."

Lu Hao shook his head, then, relying on his powerful Physical Body, he forced open another tunnel, returned to the ice layer, found his disciple and his group, and directly returned to Wuji Pavilion.

The beast tide in the relic had ended, and the Cultivators inside were no longer in danger, so he naturally didn't want to stay there.

As for Zhuo Yongyi and the others, he had already learned from Lü Chengtian that the two had joined Wuji Pavilion, so there would be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future, and there was no rush.

In Wuji Pavilion, within the Bamboo Forest.

The Void Realm tunnel slowly rotated, and Lu Hao's figure suddenly appeared, with the few people behind him following closely.
