53: Chapter 53 Beast Tide VS Spirit Control Sect

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Rumble!

Under such terrifying roars and vibrations, it felt as if the entire mountain range was trembling, and countless leaves rustled to the ground because of it.

"The show has begun!"

Ning Yuan smiled slightly and looked toward Luoxia Stream ahead. The countless Yao Beasts had already arrived; were the members of the Yu Ling Sect ready?

Under the gaze of Ning Yuan's trio, countless Yao Beasts sprinted toward Luoxia Stream, kicking up a massive cloud of dust from the earth, making it impossible to see the specific situation.

Being struck by such a massive wave of Yao Beasts caused the entire Luoxia Stream to boil with activity. Naturally, such a huge commotion was discovered by the people of the Yu Ling Sect.

Seeing this scene, some Disciples with low cultivation bases turned pale and began to flee in all directions, lacking even the courage to strike.

However, they couldn't be blamed. In the face of such a terrifying beast tide, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would be at risk of falling if they entered it.

"Run! The beast tide is coming!"

"Where are the Nascent Soul Elders? Why haven't they appeared yet?"

"Ah! Save me, quickly save me!"

"..."

As the beast tide continued its assault, Luoxia Stream fell into chaos. Wails constantly rose from Disciples who couldn't run fast enough, and many were trampled into meat paste without even letting out a scream.

Ning Yuan watched the scene before him without any guilt in his heart, as if none of this were caused by him.

From the moment one stepped onto the path of cultivation, it was destined to be a road of no return; death was nothing more than a normal occurrence.

Anyone must have this realization, including Ning Yuan himself!

At this moment, powerful auras continuously rose from the depths of Luoxia Stream. Clearly, the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Yu Ling Sect had discovered the beast tide and were preparing to suppress it.

"All Yu Ling Sect Disciples, hear my command! Form a defensive line and resist the beast tide!"

A white-haired old man let out an exceptionally sharp voice which, spread by his robust spiritual power, echoed throughout Luoxia Stream.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Hearing this voice, all the Disciples seemed to have found their pillar of support and responded in unison.

Promptly, numerous Disciples began to take action, gathering together to form a long defensive line to resist the beast tide.

After the command was given, the Yu Ling Sect Master gathered with the other Nascent Soul Cultivators. With a heavy expression, he looked into the distance... "This beast tide came suspiciously. Do any of you have a clue?" The Yu Ling Sect Master scanned the crowd and asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, two intruders were discovered earlier; it might be related to them!"

A Nascent Soul Cultivator who looked to be around fifty years old stepped forward and spoke respectfully.

"Do we know their identities?"

"We do not!"

After pondering for a moment, the Yu Ling Sect Master frowned, waved his hand, and said, "Ignore them for now. Deal with the beast tide first!"

"Yes!" the middle-aged Nascent Soul Cultivator replied.

Right at that moment, dozens of black dots suddenly appeared in the sky. In almost the blink of an eye, the dots were right before their eyes.

Those black dots were actually dozens of Nascent Soul Yao Cultivators, which was the reason they were waiting here.

The many Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Yu Ling Sect were all on high alert, their gazes solemn as they looked at the dozens of Nascent Soul Yao Beasts before them.

These Yao Beasts all had crimson eyes, their bodies emitting a violent aura as they let out bursts of hissing roars.

Upon seeing them, those Nascent Soul Yao Beasts launched an attack directly without saying a word or showing the slightest hesitation.

"Go!"

The people of the Yu Ling Sect naturally wouldn't just watch. They all brought out their signature techniques and began to battle the Yao Beasts.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thus, a Nascent Soul-level free-for-all began... "I wonder if the full power of the Yu Ling Sect is more formidable, or if the Nascent Soul Yao Beasts are superior?"

Watching the world-shaking battle before him, Ning Yuan couldn't help but show a trace of shock in his eyes as he muttered to himself.

Between heaven and earth, spiritual power storms were constantly erupting, sweeping away everything in the vicinity.

Large swaths of trees were razed to the ground, and the earth was filled with rolling dust and flying stones. The scene was truly terrifying.

This was only the clash at the Nascent Soul level. For the Disciples resisting the beast tide, the battle could be described as extremely tragic, with a large number of Disciples losing their lives every moment.

Although the Yu Ling Sect Disciples had formed a defensive line, many had been scattered throughout Luoxia Stream earlier and could not gather together in a short time.

This resulted in their resistance against the beast tide being weak, leaving them in a passive state of being beaten, thus suffering heavy casualties.

Even after the scattered Disciples gathered, because of the heavy losses sustained earlier, they remained in a state of constant retreat.

So, while the Yu Ling Sect and the Yao Beasts were evenly matched in the Nascent Soul battlefield, the results of the battlefield below were quite miserable.

"A few of you, go and resist the beast tide!"

The Yu Ling Sect Master also noticed this situation and immediately ordered several Nascent Soul Cultivators to break away from the fight to resist the beast tide.

Swish! Swish, swish!

As soon as he finished speaking, several figures headed straight for the beast tide below. Their opponents were taken over by others, causing the pressure on the remaining Nascent Soul Cultivators to multiply.

Then, people were seen summoning Spirit Beasts to assist in the fight. They were of all sorts, with various breeds of Spirit Beasts appearing one after another.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The roars of various Spirit Beasts immediately rang out in the field as they engaged in battle with those Nascent Soul Yao Beasts.

Some Nascent Soul Cultivators even performed secret techniques, transforming into half-human, half-beast forms. Their strength increased greatly, and they gradually began to turn the disadvantage around.

As the strength of the many Nascent Soul Cultivators increased, the intensity of the battle also rose several times over, becoming increasingly bloody. From time to time, the blood of a Cultivator or a Yao Beast would splatter across the sky.

"Fight, fight! The more tragic it is, the better. That way, I'll have an opportunity to strike!"

Standing on the mountain peak, Ning Yuan watched the fierce battle not far away and murmured to himself.

Right now, those Yao Beasts had all gone mad, their minds filled with bloodthirsty and murderous impulses. Until they regained their senses, the battle would not stop.

What lured the Yao Beasts into a frenzy was something called a 'Beast-Luring Pill.' It had only one function: to lure Yao Beasts into a frenzy.

This was a Medicinal Pill specifically used for trapping Yao Beasts. Generally, it was used in small doses. If too much was used, the scene before them was the best example.

Seeing that the plan had succeeded, he had to start his next move, otherwise, wouldn't it all be for nothing?

Ning Yuan turned to the Poison-Refining Old Ancestor and said, "You stay here and wait for an opportunity! Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

The Poison-Refining Old Ancestor had lived for who knows how many years; how could he not know what Ning Yuan meant? Wasn't it just to take the opportunity to backstab the Yu Ling Sect?

While the Yu Ling Sect was surrounded by external enemies, he might not get every single one, but taking out three to five of them wouldn't be a problem.

Seeing that the Poison-Refining Old Ancestor understood his intentions, Ning Yuan nodded with satisfaction. He could now rest easy.

"Let's go! Let's see what that Poison Jiao looks like!"

After saying a word to Nangong Xi, Ning Yuan took to the air, turning into a streak of light and heading toward the depths of Luoxia Stream.

Seeing this, Nangong Xi quickly moved her body and followed.
