When Chen Yi arrived at the assembly point, he could already see groups of people forming teams and heading in different directions from the school to exorcise demons.
A familiar face stood at the front directing the group work.
"Professor Qin Guan?" Chen Yi asked, somewhat surprised. "What are you doing here?"
Chen Yi remembers that only Liu Qing remained at the school among his class's teachers.
"It's you, Chen Yi!" Qin Guan said with a gentle smile.
"I was out rescuing people yesterday, that's why I wasn't at school. Now that the beast tide has escalated, the school is calling back teachers who are away, and they've made a special exception to allow them to bring their families, so I'm back!"
"Your family members?"
Chen Yi looked behind Qin Guan and saw several elegantly dressed women smiling and greeting him.
"Hey! You must be Xiao Chen! Xiao Qin said your Reggae Crimson Python is really fierce!"
"Where did the snake go? I love playing with snakes!"
Chen Yi smiled awkwardly. This is... a relative of Professor Qin Guan?
Qin Guan smiled and said, "They are my family. I promised to give my girls a home, and now that their home has been destroyed, I've taken them in with me."
Chen Yi couldn't help but rub his forehead.
As expected of you!
However, the rumors circulating on the school forum that Qin Guan was seducing female students are most likely false, because he only has a taste for married women.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Do you want to go on your own or team up with someone else?" Qin Guan asked.
He heard from Liu Qing that Chen Yi's current strength was enough to stand alone, and that he could even kill a centipede demon in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
Although Liu Qing also removed the centipede demon's two legs, it was mainly Chen Yi's doing.
Therefore, Qin Guan could allow Chen Yi to act alone.
Of course, he actually hoped that Chen Yi could team up with others so that he could also mentor them.
I'll act alone.
Chen Yi would definitely prefer to act on his own, since he owed 500 battle merits because of "Changchun Gong," and he could repay them more quickly by acting on his own.
"good!"
After registering, Chen Yi went directly to one of the school gates.
He could see that several teams were also operating in this area.
Through the barrier, he saw that a commercial street outside the school gate had become ruins.
A massive, demonic wolf stood atop an apartment building, howling towards the sky.
"Awoo~"
The moon in the sky had a crimson hue, and occasionally some bat demons would fly by, obscuring it.
Chen Yi then killed the group of wolf demons that were attacking the barrier.
When the little demon fell and became a corpse...
"Smack!"
Four hands suddenly gripped the surface of the barrier, leaving behind traces of the monsters' blood, forming handprints.
Chen Yi's expression hardened.
Immediately afterwards, he glimpsed two terrified faces in the darkness.
His expression of astonishment deepened.
He knew these two people...
"Yu Wanbai, Sun Yu?"
......
Twenty minutes ago.
Xiande City, Zhao Family.
Halfway up the mountain, a cave dwelling.
The biggest difference between this place and the hillside villas is that the cave dwellings are much larger than the villas, and since they are located inside the mountain, they are much safer.
In addition, the arrays deployed inside and outside the cave make it impossible for ordinary demonic beasts to approach.
"Boom!"
Zhao Manjin looked at the bright red light emanating from the formation, his expression turning somewhat grim.
"This is a warning that the formation is nearing its limit; the demonic beasts are about to breach our cave!"
"Boss, didn't you say that your family's cave dwelling has the highest safety rating in the entire Xiande City?" Hou Xiangheng asked anxiously.
Zhao Manjin held Yu Wanbai's hand, feeling somewhat uneasy.
He wasn't lying; the security level of the Zhao family's cave dwelling was definitely among the top in the entire Xiande.
It would be difficult for ordinary monsters to climb the mountain, and his cave could easily withstand even attacks from level 2 monsters.
It was precisely because of this safety that Sun Yu, Hou Xiangheng, and Yu Wanbai came along.
Even their relatives came here.
Yesterday, apart from the slight shaking during the earthquake, everyone in the cave felt completely at ease. Some went swimming, some played video games, and some had barbecues.
However, starting in the latter half of the night, the protective array of the cave was activated, and only a dozen minutes passed between the blue glow and the flashing red light...
"Uncle Liang, Uncle Liang, what's going on?" Zhao Manjin shouted.
Uncle Liang is the Zhao family's steward and also a master in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, deeply trusted by Zhao Manjin.
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a loud bang came from outside the building.
"Bang!"
A figure flew in backwards, crashing through pillars and finally breaking through the building's exterior wall, landing in the courtyard's swimming pool.
The array's light spilled down, staining the pool water crimson...
With only half his body remaining, Uncle Liang stared blankly at Zhao Manjin.
"Young master, quick, get out of the way..."
Before Zhao Manjin and the others could react, two more figures crashed into the house, already on the verge of death.
"Mom and Dad?" Yu Wanbai's pupils contracted.
Her parents are both Foundation Establishment experts, how could this be?
"Wanbai, get out of here quickly."
Yu's mother stuffed several tightly clutched talismans into Yu Wanbai's hand...
He then passed away.
At this moment, the group was aware of the situation: the demonic beasts were about to breach the Zhao family's cave, and the Foundation Establishment experts were doing their utmost to defend it at the entrance.
This cave dwelling covers tens of thousands of square meters, and they are currently in one of the residences. It is hard to imagine what is happening in the residences near the entrance of the cave dwelling.
"Boss, what should we do?" Hou Xiangheng swallowed hard and asked blankly.
They were just Qi Refining cultivators, how could they possibly escape?
At this moment, Sun Yu couldn't help but look at the talisman in Yu Wanbai's hand.
These are all level 2 talismans purchased from Tianbaoge: two of each of the Escape Talisman, Invisibility Talisman, Breath Concealment Talisman, and Body Protection Talisman.
“These talismans are only enough for two people to escape. Wanbai, if you want to leave, do it now…” Zhao Manjin released his hand, looking dazed.
Yu Wanbai asked, somewhat puzzled, "And what about you?"
“My parents are still inside the cave, I can’t escape. Besides, my Zhao family will not fall easily,” Zhao Manjin said firmly.
Zhao Manjin was a man, and at this moment he would rather give all the talismans to Yu Wanbai so that she would have a better chance of surviving.
Sun Yu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Wanbai, let me go with you?"
Hou Xiangheng glared at Sun Yu: "Sun Yu! I only met you today, and you're... a complete coward!"
Sun Yu gritted his teeth and roared, "I'm going to get reinforcements!"
"Where can we get reinforcements?" Yu Wanbai asked, her eyes blurry with tears.
Her emotions could no longer be concealed.
With her parents dead in front of her, and no one to pamper her anymore, her privileged life was about to collapse, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
At this moment, Zhao Manjin's kindness towards her was magnified infinitely, bringing a sense of comfort to her volatile heart.
"School, back to school! Principal Ma has already gathered all the teachers and students back to school, it's safe there for now..." Sun Yu explained quickly.
Hou Xiangheng loosened his grip on Sun Yu's collar and turned his head away: "I'll stay with Brother Zhao."
"Sun Yu, please, protect her for me!" Zhao Manjin stared at Sun Yu and said in a deep voice, "Go, go now!"
Sun Yu glanced at Zhao Manjin and Hou Xiangheng, then left with Yu Wanbai.
"Buzz!"
The two activated the power of the talismans.
During their departure from the Zhao family's cave, they caught a glimpse of the enormous creature that had invaded the cave...
