18: Three major villages, a tide of beasts is coming!

Yang Yucheng’s thoughts whirled, and then a faint smile appeared on his face!

Confronting a Spirit Venerable expert would undoubtedly lead to a dead end, but even in this dead end, he might not be without a glimmer of hope.

“Upper Three Sects! The Heavenly Soul Sect has coveted your teacher for a long time!”

“When the clam and the snipe fight, the fisherman benefits.”

“At that moment, Lin Fan, you and I will truly contend!”

Golden light flickered in Yang Yucheng’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but clench his fists. The Heavenly Phoenix True Fire emerged from his body, scorching the surrounding air to nothing!

Just like Yang Yucheng’s mood at this moment, it was boiling with anticipation!

...A few more days passed!

Yang Yucheng had fully mastered the functions of the treasure mirror, including the immortal spirit within the mirror!

Although Yang Yucheng couldn't communicate with the other party consciously, he still found a way to forcibly activate its methods!

Exhaling a breath of turbid Qi, Yang Yucheng twitched his nose, sniffing the fragrant scent of the damp soil after the rain.

He was in a very good mood right now!

“Sixth Elder, what is the current situation at Yang Family Stockade?” Yang Yucheng asked casually.

The next second.

The Sixth Elder, Xu Cheng, appeared instantly beside him like a ghost.

He bowed respectfully and replied, “Two days ago, a beast tide surged from deep within Mount Lindashan, which the Yang Family Stockade relies on. In recent days, the nearby Bai Family Stockade and Zhang Family Stockade…”

“The three stockades united to resist the beast tide, with Yang Family Stockade as the main force and the other two providing support.”

“Currently, the beast tide situation is still manageable. Although all the stockades have suffered some casualties, Yang Family Stockade’s casualties and losses are the smallest.”

“Has the Divine Phoenix Guard taken action?” Yang Yucheng asked.

Sixth Elder Xu Cheng shook his head.

“Without your orders, Sect Master Martial Nephew, no one would act on their own initiative!”

Taking a deep breath, Yang Yucheng closed his eyes.

“Very good!”

In his opinion, the Divine Phoenix Guard didn't need to take action at all.

It was just a mere beast tide.

In the original plot, this scenario never even appeared, so why bother?

...In the deep mountain forest, ancient trees reached to the sky, lush and green, surrounded by vast expanses of white snow.

Not far from the snowy ground!

A graceful young girl in a cyan short shirt ran forward swiftly.

Her eyes were resolute, but her face still inevitably showed a hint of fear. There were also two other people from Yang Family Stockade with her.

Each of them was young and strong.

And a few years older than the girl!

“Unrepentant, you run first! We will stay behind to cover your retreat!”

“That’s right, Buhui! You are the younger sister of our Yang Family’s Prodigy. Even if all of us encounter misfortune today, you absolutely cannot! Otherwise, if our Yang Family’s Prodigy…”

“Once he blames us, the entire Yang Family Stockade will absolutely be unable to bear the consequences!”

The two Yang Family brothers stopped, each blocking the group of wolves.

They shouted loudly!

Earthen-yellow spiritual Qi emerged around them.

The ground cracked!

Stone spikes rose from the ground, forming walls that temporarily blocked all the Demonic Beasts, the Shadow Moon Wolves!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sounds of the Demonic Beasts, the Shadow Moon Wolves, crashing into the walls came.

Their temporarily formed mud-stone walls would not last much longer!

“Run! Hurry and run!”

The two brothers shouted again!

Unrepentant’s mind was blank.

Hearing their shouts, she instinctively followed their orders, turned around, and continued to run frantically forward.

Even as the surrounding scenery continuously receded and the weather grew colder.

She still mechanically repeated this action!

High in the sky!

Not far away, figures of the Divine Phoenix Guard appeared.

It was Sixth Elder Xu Cheng who gave the order.

Although they couldn't actively intervene, they could still ensure Unrepentant's safety by protecting her from the shadows.

“Young Master’s younger sister seems to be in danger. Should we intervene?”

One of the white-robed figures frowned slightly and whispered.

“Don’t worry, we can definitely ensure her safety!”

Another white-robed figure slowly replied.

“But what about the other two from Yang Family Stockade?” the first speaker continued.

The other white-robed figure sighed and shook his head.

“That is not within the scope of our intervention!”

They would not do anything Yang Yucheng had not ordered. The reason they saved Unrepentant was merely a calculated risk within an acceptable range.

As for the other two, their cost-effectiveness was simply too low for them.

“If that’s the case, then this is their fate!”

“Alas!”

A sigh was heard, “It seems there’s nothing else we can do!”

Fate!

Some people’s fate is like the Nine Heavens, born into a high and lofty position; while others are like weeds, born to be trampled upon by thousands.

Fate, it seems, is somewhat different.

Just like at this very moment.

Some people, no matter how disheveled and weary, can still survive; while others, even if they sacrifice their lives to protect others.

From the very beginning, they were destined for extinction!

But this time, the situation seemed a little different.

Swish! Swish swish!!!

Streaks of fierce wind blades came swiftly from the surrounding forest, instantly slaying the Shadow Moon Wolves!

As the leading few were completely eliminated.

The rest of the wolf pack seemed to sense the power of the newcomers, howling a few times unwillingly, and then departed.

Wolves possess rationality.

When prey is too troublesome, they will not blindly charge, which would lead to greater casualties for the entire wolf pack!

“How interesting!”

Figures emerged, stepping out from the snowy forest.

The leader was White Moon Born of the Bai Family Stockade!

He had fair skin and a foxy face, with a curved smile and eyes as nimble and cunning as a fox!

His mouth was full of mockery.

“I never thought that the renowned younger sister of the Yang Family’s Prodigy would be nothing but a good-for-nothing, now sacrificing her companions to save her own life.”

“It’s truly a sight one can hardly bear to watch!”

“Hahahahaha!”

It wasn’t just the Bai Family’s Prodigy, White Moon Born, who was mocking, but also two other disciples of the Bai Family.

Although their talent was not as good as the Bai Family’s Prodigy, White Moon Born, they were still quite famous within the Bai Family Stockade!

Bai Chen smiled coldly.

He extended his right hand, and streaks of cyan spiritual Qi adhered to it. With a casual wave, several fierce wind blades appeared, cutting down the surrounding trees at the waist, demonstrating immense power!

“I think that Yang Family’s Prodigy is nothing special! How can a mere Fengyun Sect compare to the Xuanming Sect, which our Bai Family’s Prodigy joined?”

“If his Fengyun Sect is a first-rate Sect, then isn’t the Xuanming Sect as well?”

Another Bai Family disciple also spoke.

“Enough!”

Bai Wuya’s tone was indifferent, his arms crossed, giving off a sense of superiority: “Quickly deal with these wolf packs! This time, the resource allocation for the three stockades depends on the heads of these beasts.”

“The more we bring back, the more abundant our resources will be!”

“White Moon Born has the Xuanming Sect as his backing and doesn’t need to worry about these things, but we absolutely cannot afford to be so careless!”

After speaking, he was the first to go hunting!
