At this very moment, amidst an atmosphere filled with tension and impending doom, Champion Marquis Li Hong, Yang Xiao, and Wu Yi, leading the remaining six hundred Demon-Suppressing Army soldiers, fled hastily to the foot of the majestic Yin-Yang Mountain, their journey fraught with hardship yet also filled with the relief of surviving a calamity.

Yin-Yang Mountain, a mountain range that is usually mysterious and gloomy, is now shrouded in an eerie atmosphere.

As they stepped into this area, all they could see were the haphazardly lying corpses of demonic beasts. These corpses were scattered haphazardly on the ground, some cleaved in two by sharp blades, others mangled and bloodied by powerful impacts, emitting a nauseating stench.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, these monsters were all of surprisingly high level.

The lowest level are the lord-level monsters who have a certain status and strength in the monster world. They are huge with sharp fangs, and even when they are dead, their ferocious appearance still makes people shudder.

Even more shockingly, there were several beast king-level monsters among them. They exuded a terrifying aura, and even though they had already passed away, their majesty seemed to still linger in the air, making people afraid to look directly at them.

"My lord, how come so many demonic beasts are dead here? This scene is too shocking. Who has such great ability to kill all these powerful creatures here?"

Wu Yi's eyes widened, his face filled with undisguised curiosity and surprise, and he couldn't help but ask.

Marquis Li Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "It should be the work of Fang Han and Sect Master Xiang Wantang. The two of them are exceptionally strong, and they must be worried that these demonic beasts will take the opportunity to attack Tianyi City, bringing annihilation to the people in the city. Therefore, they did not hesitate to take action and kill these powerful demonic beasts one by one. In this way, the pressure on the Demon Suppression Division and the city defense army will naturally be reduced a lot, and they can better protect the safety of Tianyi City."

At this point, Champion Hou Li Hong's impression of Fang Han had completely changed.

He may have had many prejudices and misunderstandings about Fang Han in the past, and even regarded him as a competitor at times.

But after all these events, especially seeing the corpses of these monsters now, he had to admit that Fang Han was a man of great vision.

That should be the case.

Yang Xiao sighed deeply, his face full of emotion, and said, "Fang Han is truly a dragon among men! Before, we were thinking of dealing with him, considering him a threat, and even tried to suppress him through various means. But unexpectedly, he saved our lives and those hundreds of Demon Suppression Army soldiers today. If it weren't for his and Sect Master Xiang Wantang's timely intervention to kill these demonic beasts, we would probably all be dead in Yin Yang Mountain by now, becoming food for these demonic beasts. Even someone like Sect Master Xiang Wantang calls him brother, which shows that his vision and magnanimity are far beyond what we can compare to."

"This person is definitely worth befriending."

After a long silence, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly said, "I will no longer be his enemy, nor will I pursue Tantai Qiuyue. I know my own limitations and am not qualified to be his rival in love. I admire Fang Han's strength and character, and I hope to have the opportunity to become true friends with him."

As he spoke, he slowly turned his head and cast his gaze toward Yin Yang Mountain.

Within Yin-Yang Mountain, the eruption of subterranean fire intensified, with scorching lava gushing forth from the mountain like angry fire dragons, turning the surrounding rocks a fiery red.

The roars of the monsters became even more deafening, as if they were about to tear the entire world apart.

The voice was filled with anger and madness, which instilled fear in those who heard it.

"My lord, let's go."

Looking at the terrifying scene in Yin-Yang Mountain, Yang Xiao's face showed a look of dejection. He said, "A beast tide has already broken out in Yin-Yang Mountain. Even if Fang Han and Sect Master Xiang Wantang are powerful, they will probably not be able to escape unscathed in the face of such a ferocious beast tide, and may even perish here. They are both outstanding human cultivators. If they die in Yin-Yang Mountain like this, it will be an enormous loss to human cultivators."

"Our strength is far too weak, like an ant trying to shake a tree. Even if we were to return now, it would only be suicide, like moths to a flame, and we would be unable to provide any substantial help to Fang Han and Senior Xiang Wantang. Now, the only thing we can do is assist Tantai Qiuyue in defending Tianyi City and build a last line of defense for the people of this city."

Yang Xiao's face was full of helplessness and frustration, and his voice was filled with a deep sense of powerlessness.

Champion Hou nodded slightly, a resolute glint in his eyes. Then, with a wave of his hand, he led the Demon Suppression Army to slowly retreat from the foot of Yin Yang Mountain.

However, the thought that Fang Han might encounter misfortune in the Yin-Yang Mountain, or even perish there, inexplicably stirred up a sense of guilt in the Marquis of Champion's heart.

This guilt, like a tiny venomous snake, kept gnawing at his heart, making him uneasy.

Before the Marquis of Champion and his group had gone far in the direction of Tianyi City, a dense sound of hooves, like a torrential downpour hitting the ground, entered their ears like thunder.

Immediately afterwards, the earth seemed to tremble slightly under the vibration of the horse's hooves.

Champion Hou raised his head alertly and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw Tantai Qiuyue riding a tall warhorse with a graceful figure, looking heroic and dashing.

Behind her, Zhuge Yun, Sun Liren, Xiao Yan, and several hundred others from the Demon Suppression Division, along with ten thousand city defense troops, surged forward like a black torrent of steel, aggressively attacking her.
