Under the raging fire rain, the swamp gradually dried up, becoming a cage that restricted the movement of the Wind Demon Wolf. Chang Zhong and Chang Yu followed closely behind, their cultivation levels fully unleashed, and all three of them were at the peak of the early stage of the Void Realm.
Sword light, fire rain, and shattered rocks mingled together, transforming into a storm that ravaged the pack of Wind Demon Wolves, turning them into mincemeat in just a few breaths.
"Be careful, within the Spring Mountain area, these demonic beasts can use mimicry."
Just as everyone felt relieved, Gu Yifeng suddenly heard his own voice in his mind, which was the information that Gu Er and Gu San had obtained after gathering information.
"Mimetic...no good!"
Gu Yifeng reacted instantly, and talismans surged from his sleeves, transforming the mud beneath his feet into a sea of lightning, pulling Chang Qing back as he was about to collect the spoils of war.
Under the bombardment of the thunderous sea, countless howls of wolves rang out, all of them whimpering in pain.
"It's a manifestation of demonic energy! Those wind demon wolves were all manifestations of their demonic energy, so they weren't restricted at all; it was all an illusion."
Gu Yifeng shouted and explained the situation. The three of them were immediately shocked and used their abilities to check their eyes before realizing that something was wrong.
Under his sea of lightning, the pack of wind demon wolves finally met their doom, turning into charred remains and collapsing to the ground.
"Ancient One, your lightning magic is far too powerful; even the Wind Demon Wolf died instantly."
Seeing that there was no danger, Chang Yu praised Gu Yifeng. He then coughed guiltily, as a large part of the reason why his thunder magic was effective against these demonic beasts was due to the heavenly tribulation.
After experiencing several heavenly tribulations, Gu Yifeng's thunder magic has been completely transformed. When he uses it, it will inevitably be tainted with the aura of heavenly tribulations. If anyone touches it, they will be reduced to ashes if they are not careful.
After quickly tidying themselves up, the four of them smeared wolf blood on their bodies to conceal their aura. With the presence of demonic energy, they wouldn't be easily detected by monsters.
...
Inside Changchun Valley.
After receiving the mission message from Gu Yifeng and the other three, Zhuang Qingqian immediately called Miao Xuanzi. The two of them headed directly to Chunshan, while the entire Changchun Valley began to gather disciples and send urgent orders to various sects and forces within its jurisdiction.
The Changlin Prefecture, where Changchun Valley is located, mobilized and summoned its disciples to rush to Chunshan to prepare for the possible outbreak of the beast tide.
...
On the other side of Spring Mountain, Gu Er and Gu San traveled together. The two used their Concealing Eyes to easily sneak into the depths of Spring Mountain. Just as Chang Yu had said, apart from the low-level demonic beasts raging outside, all the other demonic beasts had gathered in Spring Mountain.
The two avatars followed the tracks of the demonic beasts and finally stopped outside a cave, where two demonic beasts at the Taixu Realm were guarding it.
Even through the cave entrance, they could feel the immense demonic energy within, indicating that most of the demonic beasts had already gathered. Apart from triggering a beast tide, the two couldn't think of any other situation that would cause so many demonic beasts to come together.
Just as the two were about to leave, a towering figure appeared before them.
"Humans, you deserve to die."
The figure uttered only a cold sentence before unleashing a punch. The next moment, Gu Er and Gu San were sent flying into the sky, the punch severely injuring them.
"Divine Turtle Transformation!"
Faced with a life-or-death crisis, the two avatars directly unleashed the Nine Transformations of the Profound Netherworld. The Azure Dragon Holy Robe belonged to the original body, so they couldn't use it at all. With the Divine Turtle Transformation, their auras immediately became stronger, breaking through to the late stage of the Tai Xu Realm.
Before that figure could arrive, Gu Er and Gu San joined forces and unleashed a Tree Waterfall Burial, with endless trees transforming into waves that surged toward that figure.
The two avatars immediately flew out of Spring Mountain.
Unfortunately, Gu Er and Gu San were a step too late. Before them stood two more incarnations of those majestic figures, who pierced through their chests with a single palm strike. The raging power of the demonic beasts swept through, instantly killing them.
...
Gu Yifeng, who was secretly infiltrating Chunshan with Chang Yu and the other two to gather intelligence, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura plummeted, but he returned to normal after a breath.
Before Chang Yu and the other two could ask any questions, Gu Yifeng took out a bottle of Nourishing Spirit Pills from his spatial ring, poured them all into his mouth and swallowed them. A gentle medicinal power surged into his body, and his complexion gradually became rosy, and his breathing became much more stable.
"Whoosh...whoosh...run! The Hou King is out!"
Gu Yifeng shouted in a somewhat hoarse voice, and his hands instantly pushed out, forming a spatial portal. The four of them simultaneously entered the portal and disappeared from the spot.
The next instant, the figure who had killed the incarnations of Gu Er and Gu San appeared where the four were, and with a single palm strike, the spatial portal that had just closed was shattered.
The four of them were immediately plunged into the spatial turbulence. Just as they were about to struggle, a pair of ancient, large hands reached out and pulled them out. The people who came were Zhuang Qingqian and Miao Xuanzi.
"What exactly happened? Why are you all in such a sorry state?"
Zhuang Qingqian asked with a hint of helplessness.
"It's preparation for the beast tide. The Hou King made his move just now."
Gu Yifeng coughed twice, his face flushed. He hadn't fully recovered yet and was still enduring the excruciating pain from the fall of Gu Er and Gu San. The pain of his flesh exploding into blood and foam was simply unbearable for a human.
If it weren't for his strong spirit, he would have fainted right now.
"Cough cough. My avatar was instantly killed by the Hou King. I am still suffering from the backlash, Master, there is no need to worry."
Seeing Zhuang Qingqian's gaze, Gu Yifeng didn't intend to hide it. He added another sentence and then immediately began to meditate on the spot to recover.
"Valley Master, what do we do now?"
Chang Yu asked helplessly, "If Gu Yifeng hadn't reacted quickly, all four of us would have died. Now, he's practically the only one suffering the backlash. How can Chang Yu feel at ease about this?"
"I have already communicated with the various forces in Changlin Prefecture, and they will arrive outside Chunshan soon. However, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave before then."
Zhuang Qingqian sighed, then raised his eyes. Miao Xuanzi was also beside him. The two of them circulated their internal energy and locked onto a void, which was where the Hou King was hiding his aura.
"It's boring. Except for that little guy with the avatar, none of you are a match for me."
The Hou King spoke slowly, revealing his figure directly in front of everyone. Facing two peak Dao Integration Realm cultivators, he showed no fear whatsoever.
"Since you know us, you should know who sealed you away in the first place!"
Zhuang Qingqian spoke sharply, a cold glint in his eyes, and confronted the Hou King directly.
"King Hou, you are a naturally auspicious beast. All the beasts of Chunshan were born because of you. What more could you possibly want? Why must you launch a beast tide and bring disaster upon your people?"
Miao Xuanzi also spoke up from the side, coldly questioning.
The two Dao Integration Realm experts unleashed their power simultaneously, and an immense pressure swept directly towards the Hou King, creating an invisible clash.
"The world is in chaos, and this is my last chance. Besides, do you think I'm still the naive calf I once was?"
