Translator: Silavin “Quickly retreat! Don’t mind them!” At this moment, the leading warrior of the An Family roared, immediately withdrawing. Behind him, many other powerful experts of the An Family followed closely behind, retreating from the battlefield. “Wait for us!” “Ah! Help!” With the retreat of the An Family’s men, the scattered warriors in their area were instantly crushed by the endless flood of Demonic Beasts. This was accompanied by shrill screams; they all perished. They died with grievances, who could have imagined that the An Family, one of the Eight Millennial Families, would suddenly retreat? “An Cangye, is this how your An Family acts as a Millennial Family?!” Seeing the serious consequences brought by the An Family’s cowardly retreat, the Zhao Family Patriarch could not help but loudly berate the An Family Patriarch. The other patriarchs of the Millennial Families also looked at An Cangye with disgust in their eyes. Although there were usually some conflicts of interest among the Eight Millennial Families, during every Ten Thousand Beast Tide, they absolutely united all their efforts to resist together. There had never been such a disgraceful scene from the Eight Millennial Families. “Hmph! My An Family’s foundation isn’t as deep as yours. The Capital had not even sent anyone yet. We alone cannot resist the Ten Thousand Beast Tide. Everyone, forgive me for not accompanying you.” An Cangye snorted coldly, gave Qin Yichen a fierce glare, then waved to the An Family experts, “Retreat!” Then, under everyone’s gnashing teeth and furious gazes, the An Family’s group retreated toward the rear. “Don’t panic, protect yourselves. Everyone retreat!” At this time, outside the city walls, warriors from the other Millennial Families were covering the retreat of scattered warriors nearby. Although there were some casualties, they still managed to save a small portion of them. “Grandmaster Qin, this defense line is about to collapse, retreat with us.” The Zhao Family Patriarch took a deep breath and reluctantly said. Qin Yichen also shook his head helplessly. Before the Ten Thousand Beast Tide, the power of one region seemed too weak and powerless. Whoosh! Just then, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from mid-air, causing countless people to look up involuntarily. They saw a blurry figure appear in mid-air, thick Yuan Energy surrounding their body. An aura that made people tremble involuntarily emanated from them. The moment this person appeared, even those frenzied Demonic Beasts seemed to pause, each growling lowly as if extremely wary of this person. “That… that is…” “Yang Quan! It’s Elder Yang!” Standing in mid-air, a being beyond the Spirit Realm! Appearing here at this time, he must be the powerful warrior sent by the Thousand Mist Empire… Yang Quan! “Is… is he here to save us?” “Are we saved?” Seeing that blurry figure in mid-air, countless people’s hearts lit up with new hope! Yang Quan, one of the strongest in the Thousand Mist Empire, was a warrior beyond the Spirit Realm. Just hovering there, the aura emanating from his body intimidated the charging Demonic Beast Tide. However, looking at the vast Demonic Beast Tide outside the defense line, Yang Quan’s expression clearly was not very good either. But Qin Yichen was stunned. He recognized this old man. Previously at the Alchemy Tower, this old man had mysteriously appeared before him. Strangely enough, when this old man named Yang Quan appeared last time, he just asked if he was Qin Yichen, mumbled a few words, then mysteriously disappeared. This left Qin Yichen puzzled about what he wanted to do. Now, knowing his status and title, Qin Yichen also found out about his identity… the Guardian of the Thousand Mist Empire, the Thousand Mist Guardian. He and Lord Liang Hongsheng, one a Guardian and another a Lord appointed by the Empire, were the two supreme experts of the Thousand Mist Empire. The reason Yang Quan arrived so quickly was that he had never left the Northern Region. He had been searching for that Dragon Soul Martial Artist but found absolutely no trace of the person, not even a clue to follow. Of course, what Yang Quan could never have imagined was that the Dragon Soul Martial Artist had been right under his nose the whole time – literally. It was just that he could not recognize him. “Sky Tearing White Flame!” Facing the vast Demonic Beast Tide, Yang Quan made his move. Behind him appeared the manifestation of a giant bird, its eyes like torches, its wings spread spanning dozens of meters. As its wings flapped, a layer of white flame-like Yuan Energy spread out, sweeping toward the Demonic Beast Tide like a tidal wave. Where the white flames touched, even Demonic Beasts at Peak Martial Grandmaster Realm were directly incinerated, not even leaving behind a cry of agony. Seeing this scene, everyone could not help but draw in sharp breaths. He was truly worthy of being a Martial Artist beyond the Spirit Realm. Just one move cleared almost all the Demonic Beasts within a hundred meters in front of the third defense line. That Yuan Energy like white flames would kill or seriously wound anything it touched. Even the slightest contact would result in death by incineration. “A Martial Soul Martial Artist!” Qin Yichen’s gaze fell on the huge bird image behind Yang Quan. That was no ordinary giant bird, but a White Sparrow with Phoenix Bloodline! “Pity, he hasn’t fully mastered the White Sparrow Martial Soul. Otherwise, dealing with this Demonic Beast Tide shouldn’t be a problem…” Qin Yichen sighed regretfully. It was just like Attribute Martial Artists – if their understanding of their respective Attribute was too low, they would not be able to bring out their Martial Soul’s true power. Back when Qin Yichen reached his peak, he had read hundreds of thousands of ancient records, touching on all sorts of Cultivation Techniques. Regrettably, Qin Yichen had no clue about his own Attribute and Martial Soul. Even until now, Qin Yichen did not clearly know what Attribute his Yuan Energy actually was. The True Dragon Martial Soul was even more mysterious, being something akin to legends. Although he had heard some rumors, they had never been verified. However, regarding the White Sparrow Martial Soul, because it belonged to Feng Qianxue’s Fire Phoenix lineage, he was quite knowledgeable about it. Moreover, this technique that seemed almost invincible in everyone’s eyes appeared crude and superficial to Qin Yichen. He could hardly bear to watch it. After using Sky Tearing White Flame, Yang Quan’s aura weakened, and the White Sparrow manifestation behind him slowly dissipated. Pat! Yang Quan landed on the city wall, with visible sweat on his forehead. Woooo… However, below the city wall, Demonic Beast howls continued, but the Demonic Beast Tide seemed to show signs of retreating. Just as everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a sky-shaking roar came from the depths of the Black Demon Mountain Range… Roar! The roar was like thunder, shocking all around. The originally restless Demonic Beasts immediately prostrated themselves, their pupils filled with fear and submission. Just one roar directly stabilized the situation of the Demonic Beast army. “The Beast King!” Instantly, everyone on the third defense line’s expression sank, including Yang Quan.
