Northern Domain border.
The trial of the Saintess of the Heavenly Cold Sect had ended and everything had reverted to its forr tranquility.
The Gu Family didn't bother to scavenge the sect disciples' harvests as before.
Two Gu Family disciples were just about to leave the city together.
"After Young Master left, the days have beco boring again."
"Isn't that the truth?"
"However, Qian Jun Hall brother has truly been pushing himself lately."
"Every ti he returns from out of the city, he is covered in blood, and it's hard to tell whether it's his own or a Demon Beast's..."
"But I heard that if Qian Jun Hall brother can break through to the Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm, he will have the chance to go to Central State with Young Master."
"This opportunity is indeed rare!"
While the two conversed, they had already left the city gates.
Coincidentally, a figure drenched in blood was approaching them, displaying signs of fatigue.
"Qian Jun Hall brother?"
The duo was initially shocked; after recognizing him, they quickly went forward to offer support.
"It's nothing."
"I'm not injured, it's Demon Beast blood."
Gu Qianjun casually wiped his face with his hand and smiled with a twisted mouth.
Though he said that, the observant duo still noticed multiple rips in his clothing, through which deep, bone-exposing wounds were faintly visible!
"We should take you back..."
Despite knowing he was being stubborn, they didn't expose him but exchanged looks and silently decided to follow him.
"It's no trouble."
"You go on with your tasks."
"We're already at Duanbei City, can't I make it ho?"
Gu Qianjun stubbornly waved his hand; he didn't need anyone's help, as he aid to beco a pillar of support for the Young Master!
His recent life-and-death experiences had nearly driven him to a breakthrough; he was missing just a slight push!
Once he returned to Gu Hall and recovered from his injuries, he should be able to attempt breaking through to the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm!
Seeing his determination, the duo could only silently watch him leave.
"That was shocking... I feel like my mind is still reeling!"
"Indeed, the event seems to have impacted the scenery before us."
They watched his retreating figure, reflecting aloud.
'BOOM—'
Suddenly, they were startled.
The ground was genuinely shaking!
It wasn't just a shock impacting them!
"A beast tide!?"
Gu Qianjun halted his steps, his face instantly turning solemn.
"This is bad!"
"Back to Gu Hall first!"
The two also quickly realized it was the precursor to a beast tide.
Nurous Demon Beasts were rushing towards Duanbei City, causing the continuous ground shaking!
This ti, without further ado, they grabbed Gu Qianjun, one on each side, and flew towards Gu Hall.
This wasn't the mont for refusal. Gu Qianjun frowned and looked back towards the area outside the city.
At the mont, no Demon Beasts were visible; there might still be ti to evacuate Duanbei City!
Even though humans generally held an advantage in Duanbei City on regular days, expanding human territories outward,
that was in peaceful tis. Once a Demon Beast uprising triggered a beast tide, even with many Eighth-grade Heavenly Gate Realm Great Powers stationed and even Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm top-tier Great Powers, the city couldn't hold off the tide.
The priority was to arrange for an evacuation imdiately; for those without powerful cultivators and so Loose Cultivators in Duanbei City seeking opportunities, many were likely to die or beco Blood Food for the Demon Beasts.
When Gu Qianjun and the two reached Gu Hall, an Eighth-grade Heavenly Gate Realm Elder was already leading groups of the Gu Family away.
Gu Kuang, with his grayish-white hair fluttering in the wind and a long saber in hand, stood elevated atop Gu hall.
Only when he saw Gu Qianjun, did his expression soften slightly: "It's good that you are alive."
"Elder..." Gu Qianjun felt warmth in his heart, and despite serious injuries, he respectfully bowed.
"I will escort you out."
Gu Kuang squinted his eyes, looking towards the city outskirts a hundred miles away, where countless Demon Beasts could be seen.
Behind those beasts, even stronger auras were looming.
Even Gu Kuang felt imnse pressure!
The Gu Family, a long-standing major force in Duanbei City, had ample experience dealing with beast tides.
At this point, most of the Gu Family Disciples had already been evacuated.
Gu Kuang, taking this group, including Gu Qianjun, had already sent nearly eighty percent of the Gu Family Disciples hundreds of miles within Duanbei City territory.
As for those who hadn't made it back to Duanbei City yet, their fates were left to destiny!
Ninety-nine percent wouldn't return alive, having beco prey to the Demon Beasts.
However, aside from sending most of the Gu Family Disciples away, after the first wave of the beast tide passed, those from the Gu Family above the Sixth Grade would again look for opportunities to block the cross-bordering Demon Beasts behind Duanbei City.
"Sothing's off..."
"Why would this beast tide have two Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm Demon Kings?"
Gu Wanquan had not left Duanbei City; he was a Ninth Grade Realm Great Power.
Even the Nine Grade Annihilation Realm Great Power from the Heavenly Cold Sect and the two from the Northern Domain Royal Family also hadn't left.
Instead, like Gu Wanquan, they stood upon the city, overlooking the countless Demon Beasts charging towards Duanbei City at a terrifying speed!
The cultivators who should have evacuated the city by now had almost done so.
However, many had stayed behind, intending to fight back. Normally, they would need to hunt for Demon Beasts outside Duanbei City, but during a beast tide when there were more Demon Beasts than one could kill, the only concern was surviving; those who did could reap benefits that might equate to several years, or even a decade, of gains in the Demon Beast Forest!
These few Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm individuals were staying here, not to protect the remaining cultivators in the city.
It was rely to prevent these Demon Kings from crossing Duanbei City.
