Wen Xiangluan
Upon hearing this, Nan Yi looked up in surprise. A thief?
He glanced around; he was currently the only person in the area.
Oh right, another person suddenly appeared in front of him, wearing a dark blue brocade robe and a matching belt around his waist.
The most eye-catching thing was that there was a blue feather stuck in his hair, which swayed with his movements.
The other party had seen everything he did. "Yes! I'm talking to you, you thief! Give the jade pendant back right now!"
Nan Yi followed his gaze and saw a somewhat unfamiliar jade pendant hanging on his robe. He picked it up.
The jade pendant bears the inscription "Wanxiangzong" in the center, and the characters "Chu Li" are clearly written at the bottom.
This is the eldest sister's jade pendant; she must have accidentally left it with him in her haste.
“This is clearly my senior sister’s jade pendant.”
Nan Yi did not intend to show the jade pendant to the other party; he simply put it away carefully.
This person's sudden appearance is too strange. He came directly to him; he might be after the jade pendant.
“How could this be…” Wen Xiangluan frowned. He had just clearly seen that the jade pendant emitted a bluish light, just like his master’s jade pendant.
Could this person in front of him be one of his grandmaster uncles?
But then he glanced at the person in front of him who was barely at the Foundation Establishment stage... and subconsciously shook his head.
If that's the case, does it mean he admitted he was wrong?
Nan Yi put away the jade pendant and got up to move away from this strange person, but the other party seemed to realize that he had made a mistake and changed his tone: "Brother, is this the place where we are about to encounter the beast tide?"
He had been dragged away from the sect by his senior brothers and sisters, and now he had finally managed to escape their clutches.
He hadn't been walking far from the sect when he heard that a beast tide was approaching in the vicinity. As a disciple of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, he naturally rushed over immediately.
He had been looking around for a long time but hadn't found a single person. This person in front of him was someone he could finally grab and ask questions about, so he couldn't let him go.
Nan Yi looked at him with some curiosity. If he came for the beast tide, how could he not know which city it was?
Wen Xiangluan seemed to understand his doubts and shrugged: "I was in a bit of a rush along the way. I only got here because I heard people mention it."
"This is indeed the location where the beast tide occurred... however, the beast tide has already arrived."
"What? The beast tide has arrived?" Wen Xiangluan muttered to himself, but his actions were not slow at all. He took out a large sword from his space and carried it on his shoulder.
He reached out to pat Nan Yi on the shoulder: "Come on, brother, let's go kill some monsters together!"
Nan Yi instinctively shifted his body to the side, avoiding the other person's touch, his whole body tense.
Wen Xiangluan has always been carefree and didn't care about such details. She just picked up her knife and was about to leave.
Nan Yi looked at the other person's figure—not particularly strong, yet carrying a large sword that was completely out of proportion to his body, making the scene rather comical.
But he couldn't laugh at all. The other party could walk the path of slaying magical beasts, while he couldn't even step onto the same path.
"Hey, aren't you coming along?"
Wen Xiangluan turned and waved to Nan Yi, feeling a little strange. Since they were staying in the city, they must have come because of the monster tide.
He had always assumed that the other person, like him, had just arrived in Xixin City and hadn't had time to rush over yet.
"Hey, so what if I'm late? It's no big deal." Wen Xiangluan looked him up and down, still feeling that he should be a fellow disciple of the Myriad Manifestations Sect.
As for why he has this feeling, don't ask; it's just an innate intuition.
He had no idea when such a handsome junior brother had appeared in the sect.
"Come on, come on, don't worry, no one will blame you for being late..."
Wen Xiangluan's mouth opened and closed repeatedly, and once she started talking, it seemed impossible for her to stop.
It's so noisy...
Nan Yi has never been very patient, especially with a stranger.
A flame suddenly ignited, almost burning the blue feathers on Wen Xiangluan's head that were close to him.
Wen Xiangluan immediately took a few steps back, took off the green feather, looked it over from left to right, and only after confirming that it was not damaged at all did she put it back in her hair.
"Have you said enough?" Nan Yi's eyes were flat and expressionless, completely unlike their previous liveliness.
Wen Xiangluan clicked his tongue. Why did he suddenly feel an aura similar to his master's from the young man in front of him?
However, with the foxfire as a deterrent, he finally stopped trying to persuade the other party, only muttering to himself, "I've been encountering so many strange people lately."
In his opinion, this man was quite strange. He stood on the empty streets of Xixin City, neither killing monsters nor leaving.
Nan Yi didn't care about other people's opinions at all. What use were they anyway? They would only cause him more trouble.
But in the next instant, his ears snapped back to fox ears, and he clearly heard the roars of magical beasts coming from the dense forest; they seemed to be cheering—
But what are they cheering for?
His expression immediately turned somewhat grim. He pulled out a vehicle that hadn't been used in a long time from his spatial storage and flew directly into the dense forest.
He even brushed past Wen Xiangluan along the way.
Wen Xiangluan's hair feathers swayed. Just moments ago, she couldn't be roused at all, but now she suddenly became proactive.
Forget about him, he's waiting to finish fighting the beast tide so he can hurry back to the Myriad Manifestations Sect.
His senior brothers and sisters' worries were nothing to him; he was eager to learn from his grandmaster.
A dazzling light suddenly exploded in Nan Yi's eyes, causing him to lose his focus for a moment. He gritted his teeth and poured all his spiritual power into the flying magic weapon; he needed to be fast.
Chu Li shifted her body slightly, deftly dodging the spiritual energy that shot out from the opposite side like an arrow.
Her gaze swept quickly over the various magical beasts, which seemed to have realized that they were the biggest supporters in this area, so they were now focused on attacking her.
Even though some disciples tried to use their spiritual power to attract the attention of other magical beasts, it was completely ineffective.
The monster ignored her completely and continued to attack her single-mindedly.
Moreover, every single magical beast was simultaneously unleashing its spiritual power upon her, as if all the magical beasts were working together...
"Senior Sister!"
A familiar voice rang out, and Chu Li abruptly looked up, "Why are you here?"
Nan Yi tried his best to focus his attention on Chu Li and suppress his five senses, so that as long as he did not directly face the magical beast, he would still have the strength to fight.
He couldn't bear to watch his senior sister fall into trouble while he stood by and did nothing.
He clearly possesses the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage, so how could he retreat out of fear and hide under his senior sister's wings?
"I'll lend you my foxfire."
A small cluster of fiery red flames ignited in Nan Yi's palm. This was a solution he suddenly came up with. He couldn't directly attack the magical beast, but he could temporarily lend the foxfire to Chu Li.
The situation was urgent, and Chu Li didn't have time to say anything more. She just held his hand tightly and pointed towards the direction of the magical beast—"The magical beast is right in front of you."
Flames erupted, and Chu Li quickly unleashed her spiritual power to make the flames burn even brighter.
The foxfire shot straight at the magical beast, and soon a painful roar came from below.
This method works!
Chu Li's eyes lit up, and with one hand forming a hand seal, one domain after another quickly appeared in the air.
Nan Yi stared in near daze at everything that was happening before him. It was the first time he had ever seen Chu Li construct a domain. He had never known that someone could construct a domain so elegantly and quickly.
Each domain appeared almost instantly, quickly disappearing into the larger domain at the bottom.
This is simply a visual feast!
She even made Nan Yi feel that she had reached the pinnacle of her field.
Chu Li's other hand was also busy, quickly moving through the fire and bringing the foxfire to the areas where it was needed.
As for Nan Yi, all he needs to do is provide foxfire.
The massive domain gradually took shape, forcing the monsters to retreat a few steps.
The disciples present cheered immediately, victory seemed within reach.
Of course, they never doubted that victory was not on their side. After all, they had won every time before, and the monsters had always slunk back into the dense forest.
But at this moment, the unease that had been lingering in Chu Li's heart finally came to fruition.
The three wolf howls were extremely penetrating in the darkness, completely drowning out the roars of other beasts.
Within the area of battle, immense pressure was bearing down on the city.
A series of cracking sounds rang out, and the giant domain that had managed to hold back the monsters was reduced to scattered fragments by the three wolf howls.
"What...what is that thing?" A disciple swallowed nervously, realizing that his whole body was stiff and he was even stuttering when he spoke.
A figure slowly emerged from the depths of the dense forest, its entire body covered in black fur. The moment it stepped out, the faint moonlight shone upon it.
It was a wolf.
But it has something that makes it different from ordinary wolves: it has three heads. Those three howls were from each of its three heads.
Three pairs of emerald green eyes looked ahead, and every cultivator they saw was as if they were hit by a huge impact, falling backward like a kite without a string.
"That's...that's the Three-Headed Wolf!"
Some of the rogue cultivators who came to help recognized him and exclaimed in surprise, but what welled up in their hearts was a sense of horror.
The Three-Headed Wolf, although it has three heads, did not have these three heads from the beginning. Instead, it began to grow extra heads as its strength increased.
The one in front of us has three complete heads, which means that its strength has reached at least the Nascent Soul stage!
However, none of them have reached the Nascent Soul stage in cultivation, which means that as long as it makes a move, they are powerless to resist!
Chu Li's expression was worse than the others. Perhaps it was because of her higher cultivation level, but she could clearly sense the other party's cultivation level—they had already entered the Tribulation Transcending stage!
What is the concept of the Tribulation Transcending Stage?
Even in the Myriad Manifestations Sect, very few people can reach the Tribulation Transcending stage, but now, a demonic beast at the Tribulation Transcending stage has appeared in the beast tide!
In that instant, all the previous anomalies became clear: magical beasts in the Tribulation Transcending stage have the same intelligence as humans, and some magical beasts, like wolves, may even be more cunning than humans.
It was probably it that had been directing the various magical beasts from behind the scenes, which is why these magical beasts worked together.
It even caused the beast tide to appear at an unusual time, arriving in the city before the date predicted by humans—
If she and Nan Yi hadn't rushed to the dense forest first that day, and if Nan Yi hadn't noticed something was amiss, the city might not have been prepared at all when the beast tide arrived!
The only outcome would be the fall of the city!
Putting aside everything else, the current situation is difficult to resolve.
Chu Li immediately sent a message to the sect, but it would take some time for the sect's support to arrive. During this time, all they had to do was hold on.
She glanced back at the city. She had thought this was just an ordinary beast tide, so the ordinary people hadn't evacuated. But now it was too late to get everyone to leave.
With a single breath, the three-headed wolf can destroy an entire city.
Moreover, even if they abandon this city, another city will still be destroyed.
Therefore, they cannot back out.
