Just as he walked up to the guard and was about to pay him the teleportation fee, suddenly a group of well-equipped soldiers walked out from the teleportation platform.

Leading the way was a middle-aged general with a serious face. He led the soldiers out of the teleportation platform.

There were a lot of soldiers, probably several thousand of them. Yin You waited at the door for a while before all the soldiers came out.

Yin You looked at their backs and it seemed that they were heading towards the Liyun Mountains.

Shaking his head, Yin You didn't care too much. He paid the teleportation fee to the guard and planned to step onto the teleportation platform.

"Fellow Daoist Yin You, please stay!"

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from behind.

Yin You turned around in confusion, only to see Yun Zhuo, dressed in black clothes with a red background and cloud patterns, running towards him, looking a little anxious.

Yin You waited for a while.

"Fellow Daoist Yin You, the beast tide is coming!" Yun Zhuo ran to his side and said.

Chapter 63: Deep into the Rift Cloud Mountains

Beast tide?

Yin You was stunned at first, then he immediately thought of the soldiers just now, who seemed to be heading towards the Liyun Mountains outside the city.

He finally figured out where the weird feeling he had felt while walking in Yunxi City today came from.

Yin You immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Yun Zhuo, please explain in detail."

After hearing this, Yun Zhuo took a breath and said, "A few days ago, the state master who was far away in the imperial capital sensed the unusual movement in the Liyun Mountains. After several divinations, he determined that a beast tide was brewing in the Liyun Mountains."

"Originally, we were going to send soldiers and monks to defend Yunxi City, but as luck would have it, a demon suddenly appeared in the imperial capital and secretly attacked and killed countless people of the dynasty."

"The Imperial Capital was thrown into chaos because of this. We have been trying to protect the safety of the Imperial Capital and to exterminate the demons until now, and only now do we have enough energy to deal with the beast tide in the Rift Cloud Mountains."

When Yin You heard the word "demon", his face changed slightly, and he remembered what happened to him in the Chi Lian Academy. It was also an attack by demons, which killed and injured many disciples of the academy.

"Have all the demons in the imperial capital been dealt with now?" Yin You asked quickly.

"Not yet. The Imperial Capital has set up many traps and has killed dozens of demons, but people in the Imperial Capital are still constantly being attacked and killed by demons."

Yun Zhuo shook his head: "However, there should not be many demons lurking and causing trouble in the imperial capital. The number of casualties in the past two days is much less than that of the previous few days."

"That's why the imperial capital had the spare capacity to send soldiers, troops and monks to support Yunxi City."

Yin You thought for a moment and said, "Yunxi City is not small. Can an army of only a few thousand people resist the attack of the beast tide?"

He remembered that most of the soldiers in that army seemed to be at the third or fourth realm, with only a few at the fifth realm, and even fewer at the sixth realm. The middle-aged general with a serious face seemed to be at the late sixth realm.

Yun Zhuo sighed: "The imperial capital also needs soldiers to guard it. Being able to send out several thousand well-trained monks is already the greatest strength."

He continued, "Not only the soldiers and the army, the Imperial Capital Dao Alliance also sent several seventh-level cultivators to lead dozens of cultivators to come to Yunxi City for support."

A cultivator of the seventh realm?

Yin You simply asked: "What are you going to do?"

Yun Zhuo said: "According to the plan made by the National Master, these thousands of soldiers are mainly responsible for guarding the Yunxi City Gate and resisting the beast tide attack."

"We, the Taoist monks, are responsible for going deep into the Cloud Rift Mountains to find out the root cause of this abnormal movement and try to nip the beast tide in the bud."

After a pause, he added: "At the very least, we must kill some powerful beast lords to relieve the pressure on Yunxi City."

Yin You figured it out: "So, Fellow Daoist Yun Zhuo, you came here to invite me to join the group of cultivators going deep into the Liyun Mountains?"

Yun Zhuo nodded awkwardly, "When I returned home early this morning, I heard my third brother talking about Fellow Daoist Yin You. Since Fellow Daoist can walk freely in the Lieyun Mountains and has subdued a Seventh Realm beast, the Cloud Avoiding Snow Lion, he must be at least a leader among the Seventh Realm cultivators. That's why I shamelessly came to invite you."

Yin You was silent for a moment, then sighed: "I originally planned to leave Yunxi City immediately and travel north."

Yun Zhuo's eyes gradually dimmed when he heard this.

"However, since we know that Yunxi City is about to be attacked by a beast tide," Yin You said, "I will stay here and leave Yunxi City after I have dealt with the beast tide."

Yun Zhuo's eyes, which had been dimming, suddenly lit up, and he promised: "Thank you for your help, Daoist Brother Yin You. After we resolve the beast tide, Daoist Brother Yin You can go to the imperial capital with us, and the Dao Alliance will definitely reward you generously."

Yin You smiled and nodded: "Let's go without further delay."

Yun Zhuo hurriedly brought Yin You back to the Yun Mansion and came to another courtyard.

At this time, more than ten cultivators had gathered in the yard. Yin You took a look and found that most of them had cultivation bases above the middle stage of the sixth realm. Among them, five cultivators had powerful auras and had reached the seventh realm.

Yun Zhuo introduced that these people were the team of cultivators who would go deep into the Lieyun Mountains to eliminate the source of the beast tide. Among them were cultivators sent by the imperial capital as well as cultivators from Yunxi City.

When everyone heard that Yin You was also a seventh-level cultivator, they were all overjoyed and felt more confident about this operation.

One of the old men, wearing a black robe with a red background and blue silk with cloud patterns, was the commander of this operation and was called Old Yun by everyone.

After everyone arrived, Old Yun quickly made a plan. At noon, after lunch, everyone headed for the Liyun Mountains outside the city.

Stepping into the Liyun Mountains again, Yin You didn't feel much. He just felt that there were more and more ferocious beasts in the outer areas, including many traces of the fifth-level ferocious beasts, which was rarely seen in the ordinary Liyun Mountains.

Yin You originally thought that the ferocious beasts in the central area migrated to the outer areas because he and Xiao Yi were walking in the central area. After listening to Yun Zhuo's explanation, he realized that it was not his fault, but that some abnormal movement occurred in the central area of ​​the Lieyun Mountains, forming the prototype of the beast tide.

During the discussion this morning, everyone had mentioned that Yunxi City was backed by the Lieyun Mountains, so it was not uncommon for ferocious beasts to attack the city, which happened about once every ten years or so. Whenever a beast tide was about to attack the city, the imperial capital would send reinforcements to help.

It's just that the imperial capital is now troubled by demons, so the number of reinforcements has been greatly reduced. Even so, everyone is just a little worried, and has not yet reached the point of despair.

After fighting with the ferocious beasts in the Liyun Mountains many times, they also had a general understanding of which ferocious beasts were the overlords in the central area of ​​the Liyun Mountains. The highest cultivation level was only the late seventh realm, and there had never been an eighth realm ferocious beast. However, their team this time had seven or eight seventh realm cultivators alone, plus a dozen middle and late sixth realm cultivators, so they could kill any ferocious beast at the peak of the seventh realm.

Yun Zhuo, who was walking beside Yin You, was probably bored. He used telepathy to introduce the monks in this team to Yin You.

Among them, Elder Yun, who was walking in the front, was introduced in particular: "Elder Yun is a member of the royal family of the Tianyun Dynasty. He is also an elder of the Imperial Capital Dao League. He has a dual identity, which is why he is in charge of this group of cultivators."

Yin You nodded slightly. When he saw Elder Yun's clothes, he could tell that he was an elder of the Taoist Alliance. He just didn't expect that he was also a member of the royal family. No wonder Elder Yun could command this team of cultivators with his cultivation level of the middle stage of the seventh realm.

Yun Zhuo added, "At this moment, we still have to rely on Elder Yun, Elder Lin, and Fellow Daoist Yin You to take action. We, the Sixth Realm cultivators, are only here to help."

After hesitating for a moment, he added: "Fellow Daoist Yin You just needs to do your best, but you still have to keep yourself safe."

Yin You smiled and agreed.

Everyone present had extraordinary cultivation and walked very quickly. When night fell, they reached the central area of ​​the Liyun Mountains.

Chapter 64: Strange Cave

"Fellow Daoist Yin You."

Suddenly, a divine voice came to his ear. Yin You turned his head slightly and looked at a middle-aged monk with a simple and honest face next to him.

Everyone had already introduced themselves to each other in the courtyard of the Yun Mansion before, so this person's information quickly emerged in Yin You's mind.

Cheng Yun, deacon of the Imperial Capital Taoist Alliance, a cultivator in the late sixth realm.

Seeing Yin You's gaze, Cheng Yun smiled and nodded at him.

"Deacon Cheng, what's wrong?" Yin You replied via telepathic communication.

"No big deal," Cheng Yun smiled in a simple and honest way, making people feel close to him. "Daoist Fellow Yin You has such a high level of cultivation at such a young age. Even in the entire Southern Region, he is considered a top genius. I really admire him. That's why I wanted to make friends with him. I want to get to know Daoist Fellow Yin You."

"That's great." Yin You replied with a smile.

Cheng Yun smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Yin You, there is no need to be modest."

While the two were chatting for a while, Old Yun, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. Seeing this, everyone else stopped as well.

"Master Yun, what's wrong?" asked a cultivator.

Old Yun frowned slightly, looking at the compass-like spiritual weapon in his hand, with three needles on it pointing in different directions.

He looked for a moment before speaking: "There are three places where the cause of the beast tide outbreak may be, and these three places are not in the same direction."

When everyone heard this, their faces looked a little heavy.

They did not doubt what Elder Yun said, because the compass-shaped spiritual weapon in Elder Yun's hand was an eighth-level spiritual weapon, which belonged to the national master and was temporarily loaned to Elder Yun because of the beast tide attacking the city.

The spiritual weapon is called the Disaster Avoidance Disk, and it has mysterious functions, especially in the field of exploration and searching.

According to legend, before he became the Imperial Master of the Tianyun Dynasty, the Imperial Master relied on the Disaster Avoidance Plate to avoid disasters and obtain resources along the way, and thus became a cultivator of the eighth realm.

Elder Yun thought for a moment and said, "We have to split our forces into three groups."

He quickly made a decision and divided everyone into three teams to explore in different directions.

Yin You happened to be in the same team as Cheng Yun, and followed a seventh-level cultivator named Xu Jiang to the left of the three roads.

The deeper they went into the Lieyun Mountains, the more they felt a terrifying aura in the air, as if there was something ominous going on. The figures of ferocious beasts fighting each other could be seen everywhere, and the corpses of ferocious beasts were scattered all over the ground. Everyone hid their bodies and quietly passed by countless ferocious beasts.

General Xu spoke little along the way, just keeping his head down and heading to the location mentioned by Elder Yun.

Cheng Yun seemed quite interested and kept communicating with Yin You through telepathy.

Yin You was a little bored, so he asked him how the issue of the demon rebellion in the imperial capital was being dealt with.

"Oh, stop talking."

Cheng Yun's voice seemed to carry a hint of sadness: "Half a month ago, demons appeared out of nowhere and attacked and killed many cultivators and mortals in just a few days. At first, the guards in the imperial capital did not take it seriously, thinking that it was just an ordinary demon cultivator committing a crime."

"It wasn't until an elder from a powerful family went missing that the demon was discovered after an investigation. At that time, everyone was in danger, and some people even dared not go out. The bustling imperial capital became deserted for a while."

"In the end, it was the Grand Master who took action and led the monks to seal off the imperial capital and eliminate the demons in the city."

At this point, Cheng Yun's tone gradually changed from sorrow to excitement: "In just five days, the Imperial Master has killed all the demons in the Imperial Capital so that they dare not show their heads and want to escape from the Imperial Capital."

"But the Imperial City has long been protected by the Imperial Master, prohibiting cultivators from entering or leaving. These demons are like dead bones in a tomb, and can only stay in the Imperial City and wait to die."

"Before we set out this morning, we heard that the Imperial Master had found the hiding place of an Eighth Realm Demon. After a fight with it, the Eighth Realm Demon was seriously injured and escaped."

After listening to this, Yin You's eyes flashed with interest: "I see, I heard from Daoist Fellow Yun Zhuo briefly talk about some things about the demons in the imperial capital before, but I didn't expect this state teacher to be so powerful."

Cheng Yun seemed stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Of course, since the Grand Master came to the Tianyun Dynasty, the dynasty has become more and more powerful."

Yin You hummed.

General Xu, who was walking in the front, stopped, and the people following behind him also stopped.

"We're here." General Xu said concisely.

On the high mountain in front of them, there was a huge cave, emitting a dangerous aura.

"Elder Xu, is this the place?" asked a cultivator from the Taoist Alliance.

General Xu nodded silently and walked in first.

Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to follow in.

The cave was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you, and there were gusts of cold wind, making it extremely cold.

After walking in the dark for a while and finding no ferocious beasts, many cultivators used fire and light magic, and their vision instantly became brighter.

There were no signs of any ferocious beasts in the cave. Apart from being uncomfortably cold, there was nothing unusual about it.

The crowd continued walking. The cave seemed to be bottomless and winding. After going around in circles, they still couldn't see the end.

"Where's Ji Qi?" someone suddenly spoke in panic.

Hearing the voice, Yin You turned his head and saw a young man walking at the back with a terrified look on his face.

Yin You remembered this man's name. He was a cultivator in the late sixth realm. He also remembered that there was another cultivator in the sixth realm beside the young man just now. But now that cultivator was nowhere to be seen.

"What happened?"

General Xu, who was at the front, walked over.

The young man said in horror, "Just now Ji Qi was beside me communicating with me through telepathy, but suddenly his voice disappeared. After a while, I saw that he hadn't spoken yet, so I turned around to look at his position, only to find that his figure had disappeared."

General Xu scanned the surroundings with his mind, but found nothing. After thinking for a moment, he said, "We won't be able to find it in a short time. Let's keep going and solve the beast tide first. I'll go at the back this time. Yu Nan and Lao Zhou, you go at the front. The rest of you go in the middle. Be careful and keep an eye on the people around you."

Upon hearing this, everyone adjusted their team and continued to go deeper into the cave.

"Fellow Daoist Yin You, things are not looking good."

Cheng Yun approached Yin You and nervously transmitted his message.

Yin You nodded. He didn't even notice anything unusual about the sudden disappearance of the cultivator just now, which showed how terrifying the thing that happened was.

"This cave is located in the central area of ​​the Lieyun Mountains. The ferocious beasts outside are fighting frantically, but here it is completely silent and there is no trace of any ferocious beasts." Cheng Yun continued.

Yin You comforted him, "It's okay. We have a lot of people here, and we are vigilant. The existence in the dark won't dare to act rashly."

Cheng Yun seemed to feel better after hearing this and sighed, "I hope so."

As everyone was walking, suddenly someone in the team screamed.
