At this moment, it wasn’t just the Cow Demon; other formidable Demon Beasts also charged out.
Wolves, lone tigers, leopards... various Demon Beasts under the lead of a Demon King level, escalating the war into a white-hot state.
At this time, the Array’s function truly came into play, becoming the last line of defense to protect everyone. Otherwise, one charge from these powerful birds and beasts would crumble the entire defensive line.
The newcomers, including Shen Wang, all complained, feeling that entering the Celestial Travel Sect might not have been a good thing.
Now, the number of Demon Beasts outside was large, including Great Demons. Without the Array, encountering them would mean nine deaths and one life.
The Array burst with various glows, releasing power to counterattack, killing some Demon Beasts.
Shen Wang, keeping a low profile, retreated with the others into the Array, relying on it to block the new wave of Demon Beasts’ assault.
"No one is allowed to slack off; otherwise, if the Demon Beasts break in, no one will escape!"
Yi Feng’s sharp gaze landed on several Cultivators trying to conserve Spiritual Power, and the Magical Artifacts before him seemed ready to attack at any moment.
Evidently, his role was supervising the army, not resisting the Demon Beasts.
In such a scenario, everyone’s small schemes were hard to succeed in, let alone deserting in the face of battle.
The tougher moment arrived, and the group could only grit their teeth, exhausting their potential as much as possible, desperately attacking the Demon Beasts.
The dim and chaotic battle of attack and defense lasted for most of the day before stopping. As the Demon Beasts receded like a tide, the people behind the Array immediately collapsed in a large swath.
Shen Wang sat down with the others, ready to continue keeping a low profile.
"The Demon Beasts have temporarily retreated, you all can rest for a while."
Yi Feng’s expression eased significantly.
An incense stick time later, most of the Demon Beasts had retreated. When they left, they still carried the corpses with them to feast upon.
Shen Wang noticed that some living but crippled birds and beasts met the same fate, proving these creatures were indeed more cruel than the Human Race.
"No time was wasted; it counts as seeing another side of the Demon Beasts. These creatures are more terrifying than they were in the mountains before."
Shen Wang felt dread in his heart. If these Demon Beasts targeted his lair, he would be less capable of handling it than the Celestial Travel Sect.
"Early-stage Nascent Soul strength is not enough; at least Nascent Soul Perfection, even Divinity Transformation would be needed. By then, one person would be enough to deter this group of Demon Beasts."
Shen Wang thought secretly in his heart.
"Fellow Daoist Yi, surely such attacks don’t happen every day, right?"
Someone complained: "If that’s the case, who can withstand it?"
"It’s not every day; these Demon Beasts are also under pressure, and this time suffered quite a few casualties. It will take them several days to regroup."
Yi Feng explained, glancing at the discontented people: "You all don’t need to have such sour faces. Those Demon Beasts can take corpses back to enjoy; naturally, you have benefits too. As long as you perform well, your Cultivation will surely advance rapidly under such pressure."
As he spoke, many people came down from the mountain with supplies, part of which were Spirit Stones, and another part was food and fruit containing Spiritual Qi.
"Everyone has worked hard, now come according to the arrangement to receive resources."
Yun Lingshu spoke, her voice crisp and melodious, like celestial music to the ears.
She surveyed the entire field and suddenly spotted someone, revealing a look of surprise.
"Hurry and distribute the resources."
Han Wan’Er and others began taking action, distributing a pile of Elixirs, Spirit Fruits, and Demon Beast Meat.
Yi Feng saw this and smiled: "Your benefits have arrived, two teams stay to guard, and the remaining team follow me to receive supplies."
He pointed at Shen Wang: "Let your team go first."
Yi Feng had heard of Shen Wang’s identity, as they were once fellow sect members, so he chose Shen Wang’s team first.
Shen Wang nodded, aware of a gaze that fell upon him.
It was Yun Lingshu who had noticed him.
Fortunately, having entered the Celestial Travel Sect with this face, he wasn’t afraid of being recognized, quickly calming down, leading the people to line up to receive supplies. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel fire.net
Han Wan’Er glanced at him and continued to lower her head to manage the distribution of Elixirs.
"What are you doing here?"
Yun Lingshu, with a somewhat unfriendly tone, stared at Shen Wang. If she hadn’t checked the entire situation, she wouldn’t have known this guy appeared here.
"Why can’t I be here, aren’t you here too?"
Originally not noticing Shen Wang, Han Wan’Er raised her head in surprise; she hadn’t expected the high and mighty Fairy Yun to know Shen Wang.
This made her feel a bit uncomfortable.
At this moment, Yun Lingshu was frowning, quite suspicious of Shen Wang.
This person had once worked for the Sixth Prince, then disappeared in the mountain war, presumed dead. Unexpectedly, he appeared here again.
Considering the situation with the Demon Beast siege at that time, how could he have survived?
Moreover, later it was heard that this person had appeared again and taken Silver Moon away. Possibly controlled by the Demon Emperor, now appearing here, there might be a problem.
Thinking of the possibilities, she said sternly: "Come over here immediately!"
Many gazes turned to Shen Wang, each with their own thoughts.
Yi Feng hurriedly rushed over, sweating profusely, reprimanding Shen Wang: "What have you done to offend Master Yun?"
Shen Wang shrugged: "Why so nervous? We just know each other."
He looked at Yun Lingshu: "Things aren’t as you think."
"That’s yet to be seen if you can explain clearly!"
Yun Lingshu sneered: "Will you come over willingly, or should I drag you over?"
Shen Wang used Sword Flight to reach Yun Lingshu’s side, saying: "Let’s talk on the side."
Yun Lingshu also wanted to understand what issues Shen Wang had, turning to fly up the mountain.
Shen Wang followed behind, leaving behind a group of puzzled Cultivators.
"What’s their relationship? I can’t understand."
"Could it be that kind of relationship?"
"Impossible, how could he be worthy of Fairy Yun’s attention?"
Many began to discuss.
Han Wan’Er scolded: "What are you all arguing about, keep quiet!"
Some, knowing her relationship with Shen Wang, seeing her reaction, were more interested in finding out the specifics.
Yun Lingshu landed coldly on the mountainside.
This was a small mountain on the outer perimeter of the Sect, also a key defense point. She turned and coldly glared at Shen Wang: "If you don’t give a reasonable explanation, I’ll treat you as a Demon Beast Puppet and kill you."
"Why are you in such a hurry? If I were a Demon Beast Puppet, why would I come here to help resist the Demon Beast attack?"
Shen Wang quickly pondered how to make use of this trouble.
"Hmph, that’s simple, you’re pretending to help but actually want to sabotage the Grand Array from the inside, harboring sinister motives!"
Yun Lingshu showed killing intent.
"Do you think I can even approach it? Many Demon Beasts have tried to sabotage the Array during this time, haven’t they failed to succeed easily? How could I, someone treated as consumables and placed on the front lines, destroy the Array’s foundation?"
Shen Wang pointed down: "If I had any thoughts, this node could be broken right now."
Saying this, he released a hint of an aura stronger than Yun Lingshu’s.
Yun Lingshu’s expression changed slightly; this guy wasn’t just at Foundation Establishment.
Shen Wang retracted his power, not taking action, and said: "I’ll tell you the truth, I’m here to rescue someone. If you help me, I’ll owe you a favor. Helping you kill the Sixth Prince isn’t out of the question."
