"Master has ordered that you search the Stubborn Stone Peak immediately. If you find that my disciple is not here at the moment, take him to the top of the peak immediately!"

"Brother Cheng, what happened?"

"Master said that someone must have sneaked into the Zhenyang Sect with the intention of causing chaos."

"What the Peak Master means is that if there is someone who is not in the Stubborn Stone Peak now, then he is the evil person?"

"right!"

Chen Danfeng remembered what Cheng Yue said to her on the way to Wanshi Peak.

But she never expected that the person who was not at Wanshi Peak at this moment was He Zhiqiu!

"Sister Chen, what should we do now?"

The person next to her asked in a low voice, Chen Danfeng came back to her senses and said in a deep voice:

"Search the entire peak immediately and find He Zhiqiu!"

"Have you found out how to do it?" someone asked.

Chen Danfeng took a deep breath and said coldly: "Catch him and send him to the top of the peak, and let the peak master deal with him personally!"

"Sister Chen, are you looking for me?"

At this time, He Zhiqiu's voice came from behind. Chen Danfeng turned around and saw He Zhiqiu walking towards her, his clothes were wet and he was sweating profusely.

Chen Danfeng narrowed her eyes and asked, "Junior Brother He, where have you been?"

Qin Gengyun said: "I'm going to exercise."

Chen Danfeng looked at him. His clothes were soaked with sweat. He really looked like he was going to exercise. She asked again:

"Did you go there to train your body?"

Qin Gengyun said, "I went to the Hot Spring Valley. I found a huge rock at the bottom of the valley. It is extremely hard and very suitable for body building. Senior Brother Cheng is not here today, so I will go there to build my body."

Chen Danfeng nodded slightly. On weekdays, He Zhiqiu and Cheng Yue would fight to strengthen their bodies. Today, Cheng Yue was participating in the Six Peaks Trial, so naturally he was not at Huashen Peak.

It makes sense for He Zhiqiu to exercise on his own.

As for the huge rock under the hot spring valley, Chen Danfeng also knew that it was indeed hard in texture, and in the past there were disciples who specialized in physical training who went there to strengthen their bodies.

There seems to be nothing wrong with what He Zhiqiu said.

Chen Danfeng's eyes suddenly paused and asked:

"Brother He, did you change into a new pair of shoes?"

Qin Gengyun looked down and smiled, "I participated in the outer sect competition a few days ago, and my shoes were torn, so I changed a pair. I didn't expect Sister Chen to be so considerate."

The terrain on Tangshan Mountain is steep and there is a lot of red mud on the ground. Qin Gengyun's shoes were stained with a lot of red mud, so on the way back he and Liusu threw away their shoes and changed into new ones.

Chen Danfeng walked up to Qin Gengyun and said coldly:

"The Hot Spring Valley is extremely humid, so your shoes should be wet. Why are your shoes so clean and not wet at all?"

…

Xiyue Peak.

The mountain where the outer disciples live.

Wei Wanzheng was personally leading a group of inner disciples to search every room.

The outer disciples were all confused, not knowing what had happened. Someone bravely asked Wei Wan, who still had a gentle smile on her face, and said that the sect had just lost something and was looking for it everywhere.

Soon they arrived at Liusu's room, and the deacon disciple in charge came forward and knocked on the door:

"Junior Sister He."

But there was no response from inside. The disciple turned back and looked at Wei Wan:

"Second Senior Sister?"

Wei Wan raised her hand slightly, and the door of the room where Liusu lived opened. Several disciples immediately walked in and searched for a while, but found nothing, and Liusu was not inside.

At this time, someone came to report: "Second Senior Sister, the search has been completed. Except for He Su, all the outer disciples are here."

"Wow, there are so many people here, what happened?"

A crisp voice sounded, and everyone turned around. Liusu came up from the bottom of the mountain, and the deacon disciple stepped forward and asked:

"Junior Sister He, where have you been?"

Liu Su said: "I'm going to practice."

"Practice?" Everyone looked at her strangely.

Everyone knows that He Su is a lazy bum. She refused to practice even when the deacon sister asked her to. Why is she so diligent today?

Liu Su clenched her fists and gritted her teeth: "I lost so badly in the outer sect competition, it's so shameful, I must practice hard and seek revenge on Zhao Zhen!"

"I see. Junior Sister He, you finally know how to work hard."

The deacon nodded with satisfaction, and Wei Wan suddenly said:

"Junior Sister He, did you gain more from your practice today?"

Liu Su scratched his head: "I didn't gain much, just a little bit of spiritual power increased."

Wei Wan said gently: "You are very talented and you know how to practice hard. I am very pleased, but you have to practice in the right way. I will show you how your practice is going."

After saying that, she stretched out her slender fingers and looked at Liusu.

"Is Senior Sister Wei going to personally instruct Junior Sister He?"

"I am so lucky to have the guidance of a disciple from the Commandery!"

The outer disciples didn't know what was going on and all looked envious.

Liusu hesitated, Wei Wan wanted to test her physical and spiritual power.

If she were really allowed to check, her hazy eyes might be discovered, and she would be exposed.

"What's wrong, Junior Sister He?"

Seeing Liusu hesitate, Wei Wan's smile remained gentle and she asked softly.

"Nothing, haha, I'm so happy to get guidance from Second Senior Sister!"

Liusu laughed and stretched out her wrist, but in her heart she was shouting:

Damn, the truth is about to be revealed, what should I do? Ahhhh, I’m so annoyed!

Wei Wan leaned forward and was about to put her hand on Liusu's wrist.

Bang!

At this moment, a ball of spiritual energy flew into the sky and exploded with a loud bang, emitting a dazzling red light, illuminating the entire Zhenyang Mountain!

Wei Wan stopped moving, and the more experienced inner sect disciple next to her turned pale with panic and said in a lost voice:

"Red clouds are a warning? Could it be... a beast tide?!"

The sound transmission talisman on Wei Wan's body vibrated. She took it out and looked at it. Her face changed slightly. She had no time to pay attention to Liu Su anymore and sent the message:

"Everyone, get down the mountain!"

Huashen Peak.

Stubborn Stone Peak.

Chen Danfeng, who was questioning Qin Gengyun at the moment, also saw the huge red cloud. His face changed. Cheng Yue jumped in mid-air and shouted:

"According to the order from the Peak Master, all disciples go to the sect at the foot of the mountain!"

"yes!"

Chen Danfeng bowed in response, glanced at Qin Gengyun, and without saying anything more, led the outer disciples to quickly rush to the foot of the mountain.

Someone asked curiously, "Sister Chen, what happened?"

Chen Danfeng looked solemn: "The last time red clouds rose over Zhenyang Mountain was during the beast tide 20 years ago."

"Beast Tide?!"

Everyone looked at each other.

Over the past five hundred years, monster riots have occurred on the Hongzhou continent every few decades.

Usually, high-level monsters drive countless low-level monsters to attack human towns, which is called a beast tide.

However, the scale of the beast tide varies. Five hundred years ago, when the Zhenyang Sect was just established, there were several ninth-grade monsters leading the beast army, which was the largest beast tide.

Later, the scale of each beast tide gradually became smaller.

Twenty years ago, there were only a few sixth-grade monsters and one seventh-grade monster causing trouble.

Even so, countless mortals and many independent cultivators were killed or injured. In the end, the three major sects worked together to kill several beast kings and quelled the beast tide.

I didn’t expect that only twenty years later, another beast tide would come!
