I planted the spiritual roots for my people, and they bestowed upon me a body inscribed with incense

Just after the Golden Ape fell, two more enormous demonic beasts appeared on one side of the Beast Forest. One was a firebird that could breathe fire, and the other was a shadow leopard that was extremely fast.

As soon as the two demonic beasts appeared, they began to frantically harvest cultivators, while Li Yuan, reminded by the white snake in his sleeve, had already returned to the city wall.

Faced with the two demonic beasts, at least a dozen cultivators lost their lives before they could even react.

As if they had seen that the three Foundation Establishment cultivators on the city wall were in poor condition, the two demonic beasts launched a surprise attack on them.

"At this moment, two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Medicine Sect swiftly flew out and met the two attacking demonic beasts. Both of these demonic beasts were incredibly fast, and the two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Medicine Sect could only hold them off, unable to inflict any damage on them."

After a while, the three, who had only used up half of their magic power, rushed out of the city wall and surrounded the two demonic beasts.

Seeing this, the two demonic beasts retreated while defending themselves. The five people wanted to surround and block them, but their speed was much slower than that of the two demonic beasts, so they could only keep bombarding the two beasts with their magic power from behind.

Strangely, instead of speeding up their escape in the face of the continuous magical attacks, the two demonic beasts waited for the five people while resisting the magical attacks.

This unusual scene went unnoticed by the five of them, who all gave chase.

It wasn't until the five of them crossed the battlefield and arrived at a dense forest that the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Medicine Sect finally noticed something was wrong and took the lead in stopping them.

"At this moment, the two fleeing demonic beasts also stopped, turned around, and glared fiercely at the two of them."

Soon, four more figures appeared in the dense forest. Together with the wounded Shadow Leopard and Firebird, a total of six demonic beasts surrounded the group in the forest.

Although there were six demonic beasts, one of them was sitting atop a wolf king, and all the other demonic beasts seemed to be listening to the voice from the wolf's back.

This monster resembles neither a wolf nor a fox, and looks extremely comical, which contrasts sharply with its imposing aura.

It let out a strange roar, and several demonic beasts rushed towards the five people.

At this moment, the leading cultivator from the Medicine Sect glanced at the crowd and then shouted loudly:

"Fight and retreat, moving towards the city wall." After saying that, he took the initiative to meet the wolf king and the figure on its back.

With the two demonic beasts held back, the group remained calm and each found their opponent to meet them.

After a long and fierce battle, seeing that the demon beasts had gathered here, the Medicine Sect cultivator could no longer sit still. Ignoring his previous words, he threw out two second-tier talismans and rushed towards Shuanglong Pass.

Under his leadership, everyone shook off the demonic beasts and prepared to catch up with the Foundation Establishment cultivator led by the Medicine Sect. However, Ouyang Zhengyi, who was the slowest to run, and Fang Shangren, the guest elder of Daqing who was holding a shield, had not run far before they were entangled by the Shadow Leopard and Firebird that had caught up with them.

Seeing this, Master Fang, who was holding a shield-like magical artifact, glanced at Ouyang Zhengyi.

"Fellow Daoist, it seems we cannot leave today." Ouyang Zheng didn't reply, instead taking out four talismans and continuously pouring his magical power into them.

After being activated, the four talismans transformed into countless bolts of lightning, striking the pursuing demonic beast. At the same time, the demonic beast roared at the shield-wielding Fang Shangren and continued its flight towards Shuanglong Pass.

Seeing this, Master Fang hurriedly urged his magic power to continue running wildly, but his speed was really slow, and soon the firebird that had dodged the lightning caught up.

The guest elder among the three running ahead, wielding a giant halberd, saw Fang Shangren in danger and immediately stopped. He then unleashed his full magical power, striking the firebird behind him.

This gave Master Fang a brief respite.

Seeing that all five had escaped, the wolf on the wolf king could no longer sit still. It got up from the wolf king, and with a leap, it appeared at the front. With another jump, it directly tackled Fang Shangren to the ground.

At this moment, Master Fang seemed to realize his fate, and he roared at the cultivator wielding the giant halberd.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, please take care of my grandson for me."

After speaking, he tossed his storage bag towards the cultivator wielding the giant halberd, then glared at the pursuing demonic beast with bloodshot eyes.

"If you want me to serve you to death, then none of us should live."

As soon as he finished speaking, his magical power surged backward, his dantian and meridians expanded, and then a deafening roar followed. In an instant, this Master Fang turned into ashes. A huge crater was formed on the ground.

Upon seeing this scene, the cultivator wielding the giant halberd gripped his storage bag tightly, and then the group continued their escape towards Shuanglong Pass.

The monster that had pounced on Fang Shangren was instantly blasted into pieces upon self-destruction, while the other monsters that had approached Fang Shangren were all weakened.

However, after the wolf died, all the demonic beasts retreated like a tide, as if they had received some kind of message.

Watching the retreating beast horde, no one dared to continue the pursuit. Only Fellow Daoist Bai arrived at the spot where Master Fang had self-destructed, picked up the cyan shield, bowed, and then returned to the city wall.

Upon returning, the white-haired elder, wielding a giant halberd, stared coldly at the leader of the Medicine Sect.

"Master Zixuan, did you say that no one will back down?" Master Zixuan, a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator from the Medicine Sect, glanced at Master Bai who had spoken.

"Could it be that you don't practice your movements regularly? You think you can blame this on me?"

Upon hearing this, Master Bai's eyes immediately turned bloodshot.

"You bastard, you ran away first and you still have the nerve to say that?" Seeing that the two sides were about to clash, Ouyang Zhengyi did not question Bai Shangren, but instead looked at another Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Medicine Sect.

"You don't necessarily want us to fight, do you?"

After saying that, he snorted coldly and pulled Bai Shangren aside.

Meanwhile, another Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Medicine Sect slowly stepped forward and pulled Zi Xuan back.

"Senior brother, let's conserve our energy first. We'll deal with this person's offense after this is over."

Master Zixuan snorted coldly, and then walked towards the Medicine Sect's camp.

After comforting Bai Shangren, Ouyang Zhengyi appeared on the city wall and began directing the cultivators to clear away the wreckage and the piled-up monster corpses.

According to statistics, one Foundation Establishment cultivator was lost in this battle, and more than fifty Qi Refining cultivators were lost.

This drain made Ouyang Zhengyi's expression even uglier. If this continued, the national strength of Daqing would be reduced by at least half within a year.
