The little fox glanced down at the beast tide before turning back to Xiang Yun's ring on his left middle finger. A trace of unwillingness flashed in its eyes, before it turned to look at Xiang Yun who was staring into the distance. The little fox's eyes were still blazing with fury!

"Da Da"

At this moment, the sound of soft footsteps rang out from behind the man and fox, as a hand gently rested on Xiang Yun's shoulder.

Feeling the warmth and gentle strength of that hand, the originally grave Xiang Yun smiled slightly, reaching out to grab that delicate hand on his shoulder.

"It's already so late, are you still not going to sleep?" Xiang Yun turned around to look. Lin Wan'er was holding a cloak in one hand as she looked at him tenderly.

"Your Highness, the wind is strong here, don't catch a cold." As she spoke, Lin Wan'er personally draped the cloak over Xiang Yun, smoothing it out considerately. Lin Wan'er then sat down beside Xiang Yun.

The two of them leaned against each other without speaking, nor did they look down at the endless horde of beasts. They only raised their heads to gaze at the bright moon, enjoying the quiet time that belonged to the two of them.

After a long time …

"Mm." Xiang Yun was stunned upon hearing this, looking at Lin Wan'er in astonishment.

"Wan-Er, how did you know?"

Lin Wan'er smiled and said, "Wan'er has been by Your Highness's side since young. You can't escape her eyes with just a single expression. I know that there's no such thing as reinforcements."

Hearing this, Xiang Yun froze for a moment before smiling helplessly. He sighed softly.

"Indeed, I can hide it from everyone, but I can't hide it from you." Xiang Yun gently held Lin Wan'er's hand as he spoke in a dejected manner.

"Wan'er, although the city is stable now, and is indeed a place to protect, the city has undergone tremendous changes. We are no longer in charge of the city. Even if we managed to reach the city safely, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter. I have nothing!"

Xiang Yun shook his head as he turned to look at Lin Wan'er and firmly said, "No, Wan'er, no matter what the final outcome is, I definitely won't let you get hurt. No harm is allowed!"

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry about everything. Wan'er doesn't want to be a burden to Your Highness, in fact, I already had a premonition that I would be able to stay here forever. At the beginning, I was really scared, really worried, I was really scared that I would never see Your Highness again, but the heavens are so nice to me, and I also saw you, now, even if I die, I have no regrets."

"Wan'er!" Xiang Yun looked at the relieved Lin Wan'er and could not help but feel a pinch on his nose. He reached out and tightly embraced Lin Wan'er, pulling her into his embrace!

Her delicate body was a little stiff, but she did not move, like a quiet kitten. As for Xiang Yun, he sniffed Lin Wan'er's hair, and gazed at the vast expanse of heaven and earth before him as he spoke to Lin Wan'er in a firm voice.

At this moment, the little fox who was crouching beside the two of them had its eyes fixated on them. Its eyes flickered with a strange light. It was a little curious, puzzled, and moved. Its gaze was very complicated.

A snow-white little fox was wandering around the cultivation room. The little fox stared with a pair of surprised eyes as it touched, rubbed, and occasionally used its little claws to dig at the ground. It looked very novel.

Xiang Yun however …

According to the speed at which the beast tide was spreading, the entire three counties in the northwest were probably already devastated by the beast tide. As for the super powers of the Tianxuan Continent, the experts of both the right and wrong were all gathered in Qin Feng City.

It was hard to imagine, if this so-called divine summoning were to appear within the borders of the Windcloud Nation and cause a great battle, all of the powerful experts would have used all of their power. They wouldn't have to worry about the common people in the world, because once they did, they would turn the world upside down.

"No, I can't let this happen!"

However, the burden before him was undoubtedly too heavy. With the experts of the Tianxuan Continent gathering together, if they wanted to change or stop this group of people, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to ignore the decisions of those in power in the secular world!

Xiang Yun could only constantly think hard, searching for a way to resolve the situation. However, there was not much time left for him. He did not know how long Qingming Peak would be able to hold out for.

On the morning of the second day, the shops on both sides of the streets of the Qinfeng City were open for business. On the morning of the second day, the shops on both sides of the streets of the Qinfeng City were open for business.

However, in an inn in the south of the city, a few tea merchants from the south did not carry the bamboo sticks that used to be filled with tea. Instead, each of them carried a rectangular bag on their back, and under the lead of the short and thin tea merchant with a white beard, they walked out of the shop!

Unexpectedly, he had only taken a single step, yet his entire body was stiff on the spot, as if he had been imprisoned by some kind of force. He could not even move his pinky, and his eyeb.a.l.l.s could not even move.

He wanted to open his mouth and call for help, but what shocked him was that he could not utter a word. And the owner of the teahouse, who always had a smile on his face and always spoke with a southern accent, now had a solemn expression as he led his men out of the inn without saying a word!

When they left the inn, it was as if everything was an illusion, and everything returned to normal.

On the street of the east city gate, there was an old beggar who was covered in filth and had a broken bowl placed in front of him. The copper coin in the broken bowl in front of him was thrown around by pa.s.sersby during the day and stolen by beggars coming along with them at night, yet he had been sleeping from beginning to end.

This morning, another bronze coin appeared in the broken bowl. A middle-aged beggar with tattered clothes couldn't help but mutter as he caught a glimpse of it.

"This old beggar has been lying here for several days without eating or drinking. He's probably already dead. He doesn't even need the money anymore, why not give it to me to buy some steamed buns?"

As he spoke, the middle-aged beggar approached the old beggar and looked around. Seeing that no one was around, he reached out his hand towards the bowl …

Go ahead!

"Heh!"

This person was none other than the old beggar that everyone else had died. His pitch-black hand was surprisingly powerful, and as he grabbed onto the beggar's arm, he was actually unable to move at all.

"You … you …" The middle-aged beggar was so scared that he lost his tongue.

The old beggar had a strange smile on his face. With his other hand, he picked up the copper coin from the broken bowl and spoke to the middle-aged beggar in a strange tone.

With that, the old beggar shot the copper coin high into the air. It was unknown if the middle-aged beggar was seeing things, but after the copper coin flew up into the air, it actually turned into seven copper coins and instantly shot towards all directions of the city!

The next moment, the middle-aged beggar lowered his head. Besides the broken bowl beside him, he was nowhere to be seen.

The scholar raised the cup of tea in his hand, but suddenly discovered that the cup of tea had turned from a light green color to a blood-red. The young scholar's expression slightly changed, and immediately, the corner of his mouth curled into a playful smile.

"It's starting!"

At the same time, Gu Ming, who was guarding the eastern gate, was sitting cross-legged in cultivation. Suddenly, a silver-haired old man wearing a long robe appeared beside him.

Gu Ming was startled awake and opened his eyes to look at the old man. A trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. "Master, what are you doing?!"

The old man nodded his head, and immediately said, "The Beast King Mountain has already sent people. It looks like the divine summons will appear soon, and it's time to gather our people and prepare to fight for it. This time, your good fortune depends on you!"

Hearing this, Gu Ming's eyes immediately revealed an unparalleled burning pa.s.sion. He had finally arrived!

The four beast kings from outside the city approached the city with the sword. Like a giant rock that had been smashed into the water, they finally stirred up the undercurrents of the lake. A storm was brewing, and everything was about to be exposed to the public!

With the Sect Master's cultivation room having three times the effect, coupled with Xiang Yun's current nine spiritual roots, the cultivation speed was even more terrifying than before. His cultivation had increased at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

Not far away from him, a snow-white little fox was lying contentedly on the floor of the cultivation room. From time to time, it would stick out its little pink tongue, licking its snow-white fur as it watched Xiang Yun cultivate in the middle of the room.

It was at this moment that the cloud energy around Xiang Yun suddenly stopped, and the cloud energy around him dissipated.

Xiang Yun abruptly looked up, and as he was connected to the sect head's cultivation room, he immediately felt several strong and familiar auras flash by. In that instant, the oppressive aura made him feel as if his blood was being poured onto the floor.

At this moment, the little fox, who was lying on the ground, seemed to sense something. It immediately jumped up from the ground and charged towards the door of the training room.

Xiang Yun did not pay attention to the little fox who had an abnormal reaction. His face revealed a grave expression as he muttered to himself, "What should come is about to come. They've finally left the mountain. Those fellows probably won't continue lying in hibernation."
