Senior Su, I'm here to save you

Azure Mystic Peak, Martial Arts Arena.

It was not until Li Daoyuan left the venue carrying Mu Yunxi that the crowd present finally snapped out of their daze.

This... Peak Master Mu was just taken away like that?

What else? How did you expect it to go?

No, I just feel... it was too sudden.

No one expected the All-Peak Grand Tournament to kick off in this manner. A Peak Master publicly attacked and attempted to kill her own disciple, only to be subdued on the spot by the Sect Master, stripped of her position, and sentenced to three hundred years of confinement in the Hall of Pure Heart.

It was neither a heavy punishment nor a light one.

Master... I am sorry...

Standing in the arena, Qin Ke'er's eyes were blurred with tears. She still could not overcome the hurdle in her heart and had reported her Master.

But now... she had no home.

She had no home.

Her Master was stripped of her title, her two senior martial sisters were locked in solitary confinement, and Violet Heavens Peak existed in name only, soon to change hands.

Where else could she go?

Just then, she suddenly felt a gentle pat on her shoulder. Turning her head, she saw Lin Qingxue standing behind her, looking at her with a smile.

Stop crying, Senior Sister. Come with me to Sunset Mountain.

Qin Ke'er was stunned.

But I...

Oh, enough with the buts! Lin Qingxue grabbed her hand and said with a grin, You have nowhere to go right now anyway, and it is boring for me to be alone on Sunset Mountain. It is the perfect time for you to come keep me company.

You promised, you know!

Good sisters share everything, even a blanket!

Watching Lin Qingxue dancing with joy, Qin Ke'er suddenly broke into a smile through her tears. Then what about your heartless man?

Heartless man?

Lin Qingxue's expression froze.

Him... him? He is not important. If he... if he complains, we will make him sleep in the doghouse while we two sisters share a bed.

Senior Sister, just come back to the mountain with me.

Lin Qingxue whined affectionately, pulling on her hand.

Looking at her, Qin Ke'er's heart immediately softened.

Okay.

She nodded, her voice still a little choked up, but the previous sorrow was gone.

She turned her head and glanced at the horizon.

Perhaps... she should have left long ago.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

On the martial arts arena, Ye Shu was completely unaware that his status had already been downgraded to the doghouse.

The white-bearded elder glanced left and right, then asked.

Can you two still fight?

Yes.

Yes.

Ye Shu and Su Xiao spoke in unison.

The former did not want to drag things out any longer; heaven knew what other wicked tricks the damn system had waiting for him. The latter purely wanted to finish the fight quickly and call it a day.

Then I declare, the match begins!

Following the white-bearded elder's command, the gazes from the spectator stands gathered here once again.

Just as the two assumed their fighting stances.

Rumble...

Someone's ears suddenly twitched. Listen, is there a sound?

What sound? I did not hear anything.

Hiss... there does seem to be some noise.

It is very quiet, like a mosquito buzzing.

Gradually, others also heard the sound. A buzzing noise, coming from extremely far away, growing louder and denser.

Just as everyone quieted down, trying to find the source of the sound.

Suddenly!

Someone stood up and pointed into the distance, a look of horror on their face.

Look to the east!!!

What?

The crowd quickly looked over.

They saw a yellowish, grey mist suddenly rising on the horizon, dyeing the entire skyline a dusky yellow.

Look! It is in the west too!

Someone pointed in another direction.

The crowd turned to look and saw that the western sky was also tinted with a layer of dusky yellow.

Not only that, but the south and north were the same.

The yellow mist had completely surrounded them.

Finally, the Peak Master of Spirit Beast Peak, sitting in the Peak Masters' seats, narrowed his eyes and looked closely. Through the yellow mist covering the sky, he saw pairs of crimson eyes within.

He slammed the table and stood up, crying out in shock.

It is a beast horde!!!

A beast horde?!

The surrounding Peak Masters looked at each other in dismay, their faces revealing terror.

Azure Mystic Sect was located in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, right within the core circle of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range. For ordinary people to reach the sect, they first had to pass through the vast outer regions of the mountain range before they could even see the mountain gates.

As for occasional harassment by demonic beasts.

It was at most a few blind, low-tier demonic beasts, which would be swiftly killed by the mountain-guarding disciples.

What normal high-tier demonic beast would provoke an immortal sect?

Therefore, these Hundred Thousand Mountains were inherently a natural moat for the Azure Mystic Sect.

Quickly organize the disciples to evacuate!!!

A Peak Master roared.

But the Peak Master of Spirit Beast Peak merely stared at the beast horde, his eyes full of despair.

It is too late, it is already too late.

The moment we see the beast horde, it means they are already right at our doorstep.

How much distance was there from the horizon to here?

Not even a hundred miles.

Just by observing from afar, the seated Peak Masters could already sense waves of auras from the beast horde that were no weaker than their own. There were at least several dozen Tier 6 demonic beasts.

And not all the seated Peak Masters were at the Soul Formation realm.

Among the head Peak Masters with the highest cultivation, Mu Yunxi had already been taken away by Sect Master Li Daoyuan, Qing Wanyue was still recovering from her injuries, and Perfected Hunyuan had been exposed as a demonic path spy.

Quickly go invite the Sect Master back to the mountain!

The Peak Master of Spirit Beast Peak shouted loudly. A transmission talisman shot out, turning into a streak of light rushing toward the direction of the Hall of Pure Heart.

Meanwhile, in the center of the plaza.

Ye Shu and Su Xiao stopped fighting at the same time, looking toward the rolling beast horde in the distance. A faint scent of dust mixed with a foul stench seemed to begin permeating the air.

It was too late.

Ye Shu knew in his heart that even if a message was sent immediately, it would be too late.

The timing was just too perfect.

The beast horde arrived right after Li Daoyuan left.

Furthermore, with such a massive commotion from the beast horde, not a single person had noticed it beforehand. It had forcibly reached their doorstep before anyone realized.

He would not believe it if this was not a setup.

But even if the system was setting up a trap, there had to be someone executing the plan, right?

Who could it be?

Just as Ye Shu was deep in thought.

Suddenly!

A pink streak of light flew over from the front of the beast horde. A cute and charming young girl, covered in sweat, was riding a green ox, holding a bead shimmering with blood-red light in her hand.

Yun'er?

Su Changkong, the Peak Master of Spirit Beast Peak, stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

You... how are you at the front of the beast horde?

His gaze fell upon the bead in the young girl's hand.

A bad feeling flashed through his mind.

No, it could not be, right? Could this beast horde have been triggered by his own daughter?

Oh no!

My position as Peak Master!

At the same time, the young girl riding the green ox looked down at the completely unharmed Su Xiao, and a relieved smile finally appeared on her face.

Senior Brother Su, I have come to save you!
