For the three of them.

The appearance of the Xingluo Sect was indeed something they hadn't anticipated.

However.

Regarding this, Ye Qingchen and his companions didn't pay much attention.

After all, their main objective was to complete the task in the Martial Arts Arena, unrelated to the Xingluo Sect.

The night passed without a word.

The next day.

Ye Qingchen got up early to start investigating the beast tide.

Generally, there are many reasons for the occurrence of a beast tide.

But only two are common.

One is the emergence of some Heavenly and Earthly Treasure, attracting a slew of monsters. Ye Qingchen had already encountered this situation before. In the Guangling Secret Realm, the Celestial Profound Flower's blooming attracted numerous monsters into the valley.

However, due to the limited area of the Guangling Secret Realm, the number of monsters wasn't large, so the beast tide formed was not significant.

Whereas the Yun Gu City beast tide, with its source in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, was vast, like a flood.

The second type is the driving by a Great Demon.

This situation is quite complex.

It could be because the Great Demon feels there are too many monsters in this area, driving them toward human territories. Or it could be two strong demon beasts fighting for territory, causing ordinary minor demons to flee in panic.

But Ye Qingchen checked Yun Gu City and found that no recent heavenly anomalies occurred within the city, ruling out the emergence of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, so the first situation was impossible.

"If that's the case, then the problem lies within the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range!"

Ye Qingchen pondered to himself.

Although.

He had entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range several times, but due to its expansive area and complex terrain, those times they were only in the periphery.

"To understand the situation clearly, it seems we'll have to venture deep into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range!"

Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes and gazed into the distance.

He saw.

The mountain range far off was continuous, towering like clouds. The forest within the mountains was dense and lush, demon aura was coalescing, with a faint stance leaping toward the skies. Clearly, another wave of monsters was gathering, brewing for the next beast tide.

If one ventures into the mountains at this time, there'd be no return.

"It seems we must wait until this wave of beast tide is repelled before entering the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to investigate further."

Just as he thought to himself.

Distant noises erupted.

"Seems to be Hong Man?"

Ye Qingchen furrowed his brows and immediately walked toward the sound.

He saw.

Hong Man was standing in front of a tavern, flush with anger, quarreling with someone.

"What's going on?"

Ye Qingchen approached.

"Ye Qingchen, you're here?" Seeing Ye Qingchen, Hong Man couldn't help but complain, "I was having breakfast in this tavern when suddenly they stopped selling to me and even threw me out!"

"Why did they do that?"

Ye Qingchen looked at a man who appeared to be dressed like a shopkeeper.

"It's not that we're unwilling, but someone instructed us not to sell to you two!" The shopkeeper showed a face full of dilemma, "If we sold to you, and they refuse to help us resist the beast tide, it would be troublesome!"

Hmm?

Ye Qingchen furrowed his brow upon hearing that.

Suddenly.

He noticed someone in the tavern was watching him, and he immediately looked.

He raised his head.

He saw a few people sitting on the second floor balcony, looking at them with mocking faces.

Those figures weren't others but the Xingluo Sect disciples they had encountered last night.

"Is Xingluo Sect causing trouble?" Hong Man naturally noticed this scene, and his anger boiled over, "They can help Yun Gu City resist the beast tide, and so can we!"

The shopkeeper wore a face of difficulty, smiling bitterly without speaking.

Hong Man wanted to argue further.

But was stopped by Ye Qingchen beside him.

The latter shook his head.

This was obviously Xingluo Sect making things difficult for them, reasoning with the tavern was pointless.

"They are so hateful, to use such despicable means!" Hong Man ground his teeth in anger, clearly hadn't expected Xingluo Sect would be so shameless to use such methods to trouble them.

Ye Qingchen remained silent.

Such petty tactics, while shameless, were quite effective.

Faced with this situation, they either couldn't stand it and leave Yun Gu City embarrassed, or choose to bow to them. But how could Ye Qingchen admit defeat over this?

"Let's go! Get some wild game ourselves!"

Ye Qingchen directly turned and left.

Although Hong Man was angry, at this moment, he could only nod.

"Haha, are they leaving already?"

"What a pity, I wanted to watch more of the spectacle!"

Watching Ye Qingchen and Hong Man leave, the Xingluo Sect disciples laughed heartily as if they had won.

"That Ye Qingchen is pretty composed; I thought he'd lose it and rush into the tavern. That way, I could rightfully take action to teach them a lesson!"

On the tavern's upper floor, a young disciple with two swords on his back sneered.

A disciple beside him laughed and said, "Senior Brother Guo Wei, Ye Qingchen's skills among the current disciples are still outstanding. But compared to us, he's far lacking. Even if angered, he can only endure, how dare he act out?"

"Indeed!"

Guo Wei nodded at the remark.

He watched Ye Qingchen in the distance, scoffing disdainfully, "Just a mere Newcomer King; with a few tricks, I can easily make him unable to stay in Yun Gu City!"

He waved his hand, instructing those around him, "You all, send someone to keep an eye on Ye Qingchen and disrupt whatever he's doing. Make sure he realizes he can't stay in Yun Gu City!"

"Yes!"

The others responded promptly.

Indeed.

In the following days, the Xingluo Sect disciples continually harassed them.

Hong Man and Jiang Churan were somewhat upset, wanting to teach the other party a lesson. Ye Qingchen knew Xingluo Sect was trying to force them out, so he simply shut himself off, focusing on studying the 'Gold-Splitting Jade-Breaking Pointing'.

Seeing this, Hong Man and Jiang Churan also chose to seclude themselves.

"Finally succeeded!"

After several days of research, coupled with the prior foundation of Thunder Shock Pointing, Ye Qingchen had fully grasped the Gold-Splitting Jade-Breaking Pointing even before arriving in Yun Gu City.

These past few days.

He further experimented with using the technique of Gold-Splitting Jade-Breaking Pointing to supplement the missing parts of Thunder Shock Pointing.

Several days of continuous attempts.

Today, he finally succeeded.

He exhaled a deep breath.

Ye Qingchen slowly closed the martial arts book in front of him.

"With the Gold-Splitting Jade-Breaking Pointing as a supplement, Thunder Shock Pointing can fully exert the complete power of Profound Grade Top!"

Ye Qingchen's face displayed a smile.

The improved Thunder Shock Pointing was now three times more powerful than before.

"Why not call it Shocking God Pointing!"

Ye Qingchen stroked his chin.

Before he could find a place to test the power of the Shocking God Pointing, a sudden urgent sound of horns was heard.

"What is this?"

Upon hearing the sound, Ye Qingchen's expression became tense.

Could it be that the beast tide is coming?
