Yi Qing stepped forward naturally, waved his hand to push the ghost who was almost dispersing towards the direction of Meng Po."This one is in your charge."
"Oh." Only then did Meng Po's attention return. She produced a hand seal, and instantly that ghost flashed and turned into a light which flew into Meng Po's palm. After keeping the ghost, she looked towards Shen Ying, her eyes shining, "Sect master, please rest assured, I will send him back into the sect myself."
Shen Ying nodded, "Hmm. You are free to go!"
"Sect master..." Meng Po looked at her, her eyes heavy, as if she wanted to say something."I... Can't I stay a bit more?"
Before Shen Ying could reply, Yi Qing beside her actually side-stepped directly and said boldly, "Meal is not prepared for you!"
"..." Who mentioned the meal?
Meng Po felt very upset. Seeing that Shen Ying showed no intention to keep her any longer, she had to turn and leave, her head turning back frequently as she walked.
"The ghost trapped by the intruder is already out. Now we only have to chase him back to his plane and that's it, right?" Lonemoon looked at Shen Ying. He expression was saying: if you dare say one more thing that you thought I knew, I'm going to deduct your food expenses.
"Yes." Shen Ying nodded.
"I'll go and get that stupid boy then!" To do it before those from Divine Heavens Sect left, Lonemoon stood up. As long as that intruder is chased back into his original plane, this matter is solved.
Just as he was turning around, rings of a bell suddenly sounded from the horizon. Each ring was louder than the previous, and the sound was heard all over the Three Azure Realms. It was sounded ten times.
What was that?
"You heard that?" He turned to look at the two.
Yi Qing nodded, and his expression was also confused. What was that?
Before they had time to think carefully, Lou Hong already flew up hurriedly, his face white and his expression flurried. His footsteps were also messy. He spoke to Lonemoon hurriedly, "Supremacy, did you hear that? It was ten bell rings... The bells of Mirage Sea sounded!"
"What's the matter?" Lonemoon was all confused. What ten bell rings? "Tell me clearly, what ten bell rings?"
"It's the Beast Tide of Mirage Sea, Supremacy!" He was so anxious that even his body started trembling somewhat."Just now the bell sounded ten times. By now, the seal of Mirage Sea has probably already been broken. The sects have already left to stop it."
Lonemoon turned and indeed saw large groups of people flying out of sects and rushing towards the north.
"The Beast Tide has already broken into Three Azure Realms. Unless it is stopped in time, the whole Three Azure Realms will cease to exist. By now, the best disciples of all sects are probably already leaving and hurrying over." Lou Hong said impatiently."I want to ask Supremacy, should our sect leave in full number towards Mirage Sea to stop the Beast Tide?"
Beast Tide?
Since when had there been such a horrible phenomenon in Three Azure Realms that required all sects to go together to block it?
"Gather all disciples above Foundation Establishment and leave together. The rest will stay in the sect!" Lonemoon asked. If it really was a Beast Tide, Qi Refinement disciples would die even if they went.
"Okay!" Lou Hong nodded, turned and went to gather the disciples.
"Let's go, Chef, Shen Ying!" Lonemoon turned and said.
"Oh."
Lonemoon only just stepped out, when he turned back to drag a certain foodie over and gave her to Chef. Only then did he fly towards the audience hall on the main peak
Lou Hong's speed was fast, or perhaps everyone had gathered themselves upon hearing the bells. When they arrived, all disciples above Foundation Establishment level were already gathered on the square in front of audience hall. Seeing them, Lou Hong for once didn't say anything much, but only called "set off", waved, and brought everyone towards the north.
Lonemoon only got to ask and understand about the situation regarding this Beast Tide on their way. In the Three Azure Realms, after every 100 years, a Beast Tide would happen on the northernmost Mirage Sea. The beasts from the Mirage Sea would take the opportunity to go on land and attack the people of Three Azure Realms. Besides, the number of beasts was huge, almost always in thousands. Furthermore, most of them were beasts around the seventh level, with even some above tenth level. In the past, there had been an ancient array left by some unknown ancient cultivator, which formed a screen to keep out the beasts.
In the past, the sects gathered by Mirage Sea in the name of beating back the Beast Tide, while in fact they just killed those who happened to break through the screen.
"In the recent centuries, the power of that ancient array kept weakening. Oftentimes, a Beast Tide came before the hundredth year was reached. And the number of demon beasts that rushed in increased." Lou Hong sighed while flying."This time, the bell sounded suddenly, and it seems that the ancient array is finally unable to continue working, and let the Beast Tide rush inside. I'm also not sure if Three Azure Realms can survive this."
His face was full of sorrow, and so were the disciples behind him, but nobody retreated. They rushed hard towards the north as they knew clearly that there was no other way.
Lonemoon frowned. He had an impression of the Mirage Sea. He remembered that in the past, Yi Clan of the Four Great Clans guarded the edge of the Mirage Sea. At that time, Bai Ze stayed in Yi Clan to prevent those beasts from coming on land. And that black dragon of the Divine World, back when it was still a green dragon, had once led the Beast Tide and fought with Bai Ze. Afterwards, it was forced by Shen Ying to accept Yi Clan as its master, and kept guard at Mirage Sea for years.
After that, the black dragon achieved Immortal Ascension. But he didn't imagine that after so many years, the beasts at Mirage Sea had grown to such numbers. Lonemoon vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of what it was.
"We're here!" Lou Hong suddenly stopped.
Indeed, they could already see disciples of many sects fighting with beasts down below. Mostly three to five of them fought with one or two beasts. They looked to be at fourth or fifth levels.
"Foundation Establishment disciples, go down and help. Golden Core disciples, follow me ahead!" Lou Hong commanded in a familiar manner, before he continued flying forward.
The further they went, the more beasts and more cultivators there were on the ground. There were cultivators fighting beasts everywhere. Some were dressed in disciples' clothing of various sects, some were probably itinerant cultivators. To Lonemoon's surprise, there were even those whose body showed a faint heretic aura.
"That is... a Fiendish Cultivator?" Lonemoon was shocked, not believing his eyes.
"That's a disciple of Latent Fiendish Sect." Lou Hong took a break in commanding Golden Core disciples to go down, and answered in a natural voice, The demon beasts here were apparently many times more than the area just now.
"Fiendish Cultivators would come to deal with the Beast Tide too?" Lonemoon burst out subconsciously, "Aren't you afraid that they would contain bad intentions, and have other..."
"Supremacy Lonemoon!" Lou Hong suddenly spoke, and he refuted him with a sense of disapproval and disbelief for the first time, "You can't speak as such!"
"..." Eh?
"Fiendish Cultivators are merely different from us sects in the method of cultivation. We are all equal cultivators, and we do not see an 'us' versus 'them'." He said with a righteous manner."Besides, right now we are faced with an enemy, and should naturally stand together."
"..." The relation between immortal sects and Fiendish Cultivators are actually so harmonious now?
"Supremacy, please don't say anything like this again ever. They are all good, serious Fiendish Cultivators!"
