“Beast, cease your insolence!”

The Nishang Palace Master was the first to fly over, her brows furrowed with solemnity, and from a distance, she struck the evil beast with a palm.

Amid the howling winds, nature’s spiritual energy transformed into a palm print over ten meters long, sending the evil beast flying into the city wall, which it shattered before crashing into the open ground outside the city.

The nearby civilians, upon seeing the Nishang Palace Master, knelt on the ground one after another, shouting praises like “Palace Master is mighty,” “Immortal Master is awesome,” and “Holy shit!”

“Five Elements Chains!”

The Nishang Palace Master had no time to pay attention to the crowd; her hands continuously formed seals, casting this Second-Grade Spell, and from her palms emerged five luminescent ropes of varying colors that wrapped around the evil beast.

The evil beast roared angrily as its body swelled to ten meters high, breaking the Five Elements Chains and releasing an even stronger aura.

“Its strength increased?” A chill ran through the Nishang Palace Master’s heart.

The “Five Elements Chains” were her most powerful spell, which even those in the third-layer of the Element Gathering Realm could hardly break free from. Yet, the evil beast merely expanded its body several times over and burst through them.

City Lord’s Mansion.

“There’s a Lower Rank Demon General rampaging in the West City District, hurry over!”

The Deputy City Lord and Lu Shanyue had no time for tea, as they swiftly took to the skies. Seeing the enormous, eerie silhouette in the West City District, they realized its aura was terrifying—it had reached the peak of the Lower Rank Demon General!

“Feathers Sect Leader, Tyrant Blade Sect Leader, move quickly to support the West City District!”

The Deputy City Lord shouted, his voice spreading throughout the city.

The Feathers Sect Leader and the Tyrant Blade Sect Leader, who were located elsewhere, swiftly embarked and flew towards the West City District.

“This is bad!”

“A Demon General has invaded West City, run for it!”

“What’s the panic? The Deputy City Lord and several strong practitioners of the Element Gathering Realm are already heading there to support, we don’t need to run.”

“Then you can stay behind and wait for death!”

Chaos erupted among the people in the city, but some remained calm and climbed onto rooftops, fearlessly watching the battle over tea. Of course, many more people chose to grab a bucket and flee.

Atop Misty Peak.

Ye Feng stood on the edge of a cliff, surrounded by Mo Ying and more than a dozen disciples, gazing towards the West City District.

“Sect Master, aren’t we going to take action?” Shi Lei asked.

“You’re no match for it; going there won’t be of any help,” Ye Feng shook his head. “I’ll go have a look. You all try to stay away.”

With that, Ye Feng targeted the West City District and leaped with all his might.

Boom!

The sonic boom stunned all the disciples.

When they came to their senses, they realized Ye Feng had already become a tiny dot, landing outside the East City Gate of Whitefloat City, with a speed unbelievably quick.

“Wow!”

Brother Flathead let out a dissatisfied cry, as if to say “Starting a fight without calling me, that’s just unethical.” Then, donning an oversized red embroidered bellyband, it flew towards Whitefloat City in a prone position.

“Brother Flathead is going!”

“We’re going too. Perhaps we can help tend to the wounded civilians.”

“Let’s go!”

All the disciples mobilized.

Meanwhile, Huo Yunjie was flying over the Nanlu Mountain Range on his sword, muttering: “I’ve finally mastered the Sword Drawing Technique, I must tell Sect Master Uncle the good news and make him happy.”

Outside the West City District of Whitefloat City.

The evil beast had swelled to fifteen meters tall; it opened its mouth, breathing out foul air, and with its one cold eye, it stared at the arriving practitioners of the Element Gathering Realm without a hint of fear.

In the woods outside the city.

Souhun Zhenren concealed his presence, standing on a horizontally growing trunk, with his hands clasped behind his back.

“The angrier the evil beast gets, the bigger and stronger it becomes. Even if five of you from the Element Gathering Realm join forces, it’s no use.”

Having said that, he looked in the direction of Misty Peak.

“The formations of the Misty Sect are strong, but it’s impossible to bring them out. Even if Ye Feng rushed to the scene, it would be of no help. As long as the Old City Lord comes out of seclusion, I’ll ambush and kill him immediately. By then, the whole of Whitefloat City will be mine!”

Originally, Souhun Zhenren had planned to continue lying low.

However, a few days ago, he found the shell of an Evil Beast, successfully refined it, and devoured countless blood essences, becoming extremely strong. Only then did he have the confidence to attack Whitefloat City.

At this moment, the Deputy City Lord, Lu Shanyue, the Nishang Palace Master, the Feathers Sect Leader, and the Tyrant Blade Sect Leader stood side by side in midair, looking down at the Evil Beast roaring on the ground, their brows filled with gravity.

“Deputy City Lord, we should ask the City Lord to leave his retreat,” the Nishang Palace Master said gravely. “I don’t think we can defeat this Evil Beast.”

“The City Lord is in closed-door cultivation. Unless he wakes up on his own, we can’t disturb him,” the Deputy City Lord said gravely.

The others’ faces changed dramatically upon hearing this.

“Roar!”

Without waiting for the crowd to say more, the Evil Beast twisted its neck and let out a deafening roar, charging headlong into the fray.

“Attack together!” the Deputy City Lord took out a middle grade Spiritual Artifact level throwing knife. As he injected Spiritual Energy into it, it suddenly burst forth with bone-chilling coldness.

“Furious Slash!” The Tyrant Blade Sect Leader gripped the two-meter-long blade and swung out a hundred-meter-long blade light.

The Feathers Sect Leader formed seals with both hands, and countless luminous feathers appeared behind him, cutting through the air like a flurry of feathered swords.

Lu Shanyue pinched out a sword technique, and slashed with a sword beam, its momentum overwhelming.

The Nishang Palace Master used the “Five Elements Chains” again, wrapping around the Evil Beast and restraining it in place.

Boom!

The attacks of the five struck almost simultaneously, landing on the Evil Beast, but only causing it to bleed without any noticeable damage. However, as a cloud of dark fog swept over, the Beast’s injuries all healed, and it swelled to a height of twenty meters.

Its aura almost reached the Fourth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm!

“A bunch of fools. Unless you kill the Evil Beast in one blow, it can grow increasingly stronger in its rage. Even I may not be its match,” Souhun Zhenren sneered from the shadows.

Although he knew there was a limit to the beast’s rage-induced strength enhancement and it couldn’t keep getting stronger forever, even Souhun Zhenren didn’t know how much that limit was. He only knew that even if he struck with full force, he couldn’t kill the Evil Beast.

“Roar!”

After shredding the combined attack of the group, the Evil Beast with its stubby legs gave a mighty push and closed in on the Deputy City Lord and the others in an instant, sending them flying. Each of them crashed through countless buildings, eventually falling under piles of rubble.

“Pfft!”

The Deputy City Lord and the others spat out blood simultaneously. Even though they were in the Element Gathering Realm, they couldn’t withstand such a terrible impact much longer.

Several hundred meters away.

Ye Feng stood atop a tower, watching the Evil Beast. He acquired detailed information through the “Scouting” function:

[Type: Evil Beast]

[Grade: Lower Rank Demon General Peak]

[Bound to: Souhun Zhenren]

[Note: Can temporarily enhance its strength through rage (can break spells). Due to uncontrollable behavior, it can’t leave a radius of ten miles from its master.]

Seeing the words “can break spells,” Ye Feng didn’t rejoice but remembered the latter part of the note. He looked around gravely, seeking Souhun Zhenren’s whereabouts.

It was also because he was wary of Souhun Zhenren that Ye Feng had not yet taken action.

“My Heroic Spirit Power has fully recovered, but every time I use the Sword Drawing Technique, it goes into a one-hour cool-down period. I must save this move for later and not use it casually,” Ye Feng murmured.

High in the sky.

Souhun Zhenren stood on the clouds, looking down: “City Lord of Whitefloat City, if you don’t come out of seclusion, your subordinates in the Element Gathering Realm will fall, becoming nutrients for the Evil Beast’s advancement. By then, even if you break through to the Fifth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm, it will be useless.”

Boom…

Just at that moment, the sky changed!

Thunder rumbled above the mountains behind the City Lord’s Mansion of Whitefloat City, accompanied by clouds stretching for dozens of miles, as if a heavy rain was about to pour.

“The City Lord is coming out of seclusion!”

“This is the sign of the Auxiliary Cultivation Method ‘Thunder Sprint Art’ being perfected to the third layer. It looks like the City Lord is about to break through to the Fifth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm!”

Looking towards the center of the city, the Deputy City Lord laughed heartily.
