173: Who will eat whom is still uncertain.

“Alright, we'll go with this bear.”

Seeing that The Four Night Owls had all chosen the Giant Bear, Gu Chen took out the void sword and began preparing barbecue ingredients from the Giant Bear's body.

After all, this bear was dozens of meters long; they couldn't possibly roast the whole thing. If they cooked too much and couldn't finish it, it would be a waste.

Soon, under Gu Chen's skillful handling.

Several massive chunks of bear meat sizzled with oil as they roasted, and the smoky aroma of the meat wafted around the noses of Ye Xiao and the four others.

“It's done roasting. Let's eat quickly.”

Once the bear meat was mostly cooked, Gu Chen began distributing the meat to The Four Night Owls.

The four were not polite, accepting the bear meat and starting to feast heartily.

After they finished the roasted meat.

Gu Chen discussed with the others and decided to head to other states to continue hunting Saint Realm Demonic beasts.

Previously, before Elder Zhao Da appeared, they wouldn't venture too far, only traveling around Yunzhou.

Now that they knew Elder Zhao Da was protecting them, they had no reservations; they dared to go anywhere in the entire Southern Domain.

They carefully stored the corpses of the three demonic beasts.

The five flew out of Yunzhou, heading toward other states, beginning their hunt for Saint Realm, and even Saint King Realm, Demonic beasts.

Fengzhou, Yanri Sect Mountain Gate.

Dense masses of low-level Demonic beasts, along with more than a dozen Saint and Saint King Demonic beasts, were currently besieging the Yanri Sect's Mountain Gate.

Powerful attacks slammed into the Yanri Sect's formation, causing the Sect Protecting Formation to shake violently.

Witnessing this scene.

The Yanri Sect's Sect Master, several Saint King Old Ancestors, and tens of thousands of disciples stood in the plaza, faces filled with dread.

Although the formation was currently blocking the assault, keeping them safe, if the attacks continued like this, the Yanri Sect's formation would break sooner or later.

At that time, they would have to face this overwhelming army of Demonic beasts, a thought that filled them with terror.

“Old Ancestors! We can't just sit here and wait for death! Once the formation breaks, our Yanri Sect will be finished!”

At this moment, the Yanri Sect's Sect Master looked at the three Saint King Realm Old Ancestors and spoke with a tearful expression.

This beast Tide was simply too strange.

The Yanri Sect had been established in the Southern Domain for tens of thousands of years, yet they had never encountered such a terrifying beast Tide.

Previous beast Tides, while fierce, were never like this one.

Currently, outside, there were five Saint King Demonic beasts and nine Saint Demonic beasts. Such a massive display was clearly intended to wipe out the Yanri Sect.

He truly couldn't understand how the Yanri Sect had offended these Demonic beasts to warrant such a large force besieging them.

“Sigh, do you think we Old Men want to wait for death? It's just that this beast Tide is too strange, and all the sects are busy protecting themselves. What solutions do we have left?”

Looking at the Yanri Sect Master's tearful face, the three Saint King Old Ancestors also felt powerless.

They had already contacted the sects they knew in the nearby states.

They discovered that those sects were in the same predicament as the Yanri Sect—being besieged by Demonic beasts several times stronger than their own forces—making it impossible for them to come to the Yanri Sect's aid.

Therefore, they were now isolated and helpless. Once the formation broke, it would be a bloody battle for survival.

Observing the expressions of the Yanri Sect group.

Outside the formation.

A Pointy-Mouthed Monkey-Cheeked Elder, who was at the Saint King Sixth Layer and currently bombarding the formation, cackled sinisterly.

“Hehehe!”

“Despicable humans, your turtle shell is about to break! Prepare to welcome the baptism of my Demon Race then.”

Hearing the elder's words.

The remaining Saint King and Saint Demonic beasts who were bombarding the formation also wore cruel sneers.

They were already impatient to rush into the Yanri Sect and start a massacre.

It was just that the Yanri Sect's Sect Protecting Formation was truly formidable; even with so many Demon Race members attacking, they hadn't broken it after several hours.

However, the Yanri Sect's formation now had cracks and was at the end of its strength. It wouldn't be long before they shattered it.

Just as the group of Demonic beasts was forcefully bombarding the Yanri Sect's formation.

Ye Xiao and the four others flew to a spot not far from the Yanri Sect.

“Hiss, Old Ancestors, who are these people? Are they here to reinforce us?”

The Yanri Sect Master asked with a look of shock upon seeing Ye Xiao and the four others, wearing golden and blue Star Robes, flying toward them.

He remembered the Old Ancestors saying that the Yanri Sect had no external aid left, and once the formation broke, it would be a bloody battle.

But now Ye Xiao and the four others were flying over alone. If they weren't here to support the Yanri Sect, what else could they be doing?

“This...”

Questioned by the Yanri Sect Master, the three Saint King Old Ancestors looked confused.

They hadn't contacted any reinforcements at all.

Moreover, judging by the youthful appearance of Night Owl and the others, they didn't seem like experts with great strength. How could they possibly help?

Before the Yanri Sect members could figure out what was happening.

The Saint and Saint King Demonic beasts who were bombarding the formation all stopped moving.

They stared blankly at Ye Xiao and the four others flying over.

Because they thought Ye Xiao and the four others were idiots.

With the cultivation levels of the Demon Race members present, Ye Xiao and the four others daring to approach was clearly a death wish.

“Hehehe, five people actually came here just to die.”

“Everyone, let's use them to whet our appetites first.”

The Pointy-Mouthed Monkey-Cheeked Elder snapped back to attention and signaled the rest of the Saint and Saint King Demonic beasts, preparing to eliminate Ye Xiao and the four others first.

Although he sensed that Ye Xiao and the four others were all Saint Realm cultivators, their side had five Saint King Demonic beasts and nine Saint Demonic beasts.

Even if each of them just stomped once, Ye Xiao and the four others would be crushed to death.

“Haha, good! We'll use them to line our stomachs first.”

“Exactly. Although they're a bit foolish, they taste the same once they're in our bellies.”

Hearing the Pointy-Mouthed Monkey-Cheeked Elder's words.

The Demon Race members revealed cruel smiles and surrounded Ye Xiao and the four others.

Seeing themselves surrounded by so many Saint and Saint King shapeshifting Demon Race members, Ye Xiao and the four others remained completely calm.

Among them, Gu Chen smiled as he glanced over the elder and the rest of the Demon Race, saying, “Hehe, it's not certain who will eat whom. What if you end up being eaten by us?”

Night Owl also grinned. “That bear tasted pretty good just now. I wonder what kind of beasts these guys transformed from.”

Mu Xueqing and the other three didn't speak, but they were also curiously examining the dozen or so Demon Race members surrounding them.

Since these Demon Race members were all in human form, they were quite curious about what their true forms were.

“Hmph, arrogance! You're still talking tough even facing death. I'd like to see what kind of strength you possess.”

“Exactly! If you want to eat us, being tough with your mouth isn't enough; your teeth need to be tough!!”

Seeing that Ye Xiao and the four others, even after being surrounded, dared to boast about eating the Demon Race members.

The elder and the others showed expressions of fury.

They erupted with soaring Demonic Qi and charged towards Ye Xiao and the four others.
