Bam!

Ye Qingchen pushed open the door.

He immediately saw that the once peaceful Yun Gu City was now operating at high speed.

Rows of fully armed soldiers quickly mobilized.

At the same time.

Figures of cultivators swiftly ascended rooftops, heading towards the city walls.

"What's going on?"

At this moment.

Hong Man and Jiang Churan, who were also inside the house, were similarly awakened and rushed out to inquire.

"It should be a beast tide!"

Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes, looking into the distance.

The once clear sky had, at some point, become shrouded in a layer of darkness. The gathered demon energy churned violently, reaching an incredible degree.

The three exchanged a glance, and without a moment's hesitation, hurried towards the city walls.

Upon reaching the city walls.

The three couldn't help but gasp in shock.

They saw.

A massive black tide emerging quickly from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, composed of countless demon beasts. They darted out from various parts of the dense forest, merging into this tide and sprinting madly towards the position of Yun Gu City.

The sound of their stampede was like a thousand troops and horses.

The demon energy blanketing the city was like an overwhelming black cloud, threatening to crush the city.

On the city wall.

The soldiers were dumbfounded by the sight, and even though they had experienced several beast tides, this scene filled them with fear.

"Huh, they're still here?"

The appearance of Ye Qingchen and the others caught the attention of many Xingluo Sect disciples on the other side of the city wall.

Over the past few days.

Ye Qingchen, Hong Man, and Jiang Churan had not left their residence.

Originally, they had thought the three had already left Yun Gu City in disgrace.

But unexpectedly, they had stayed in the city all along.

"Should I chase them off the city wall?" Guo Wei whispered.

"No need!" Xu Kuang's lips curled with a sneer, mocking, "Let them embarrass themselves. Let them fail to kill even a single demon beast and see if they still have the face to stay here!"

Hearing this, everyone showed eager expressions.

They had long despised Ye Qingchen.

It was the perfect opportunity to teach him a lesson. To reclaim Xingluo Sect's prestige!

Meanwhile.

The beast tide was rapidly approaching, and in the blink of an eye, it was already beneath the city walls.

"Release!"

A loud command rang out.

Countless arrows flew like a rainstorm, fiercely meeting the beast horde.

Ting! Ting! Ting!

Though the momentum was impressive, the arrows shot by ordinary soldiers couldn't penetrate the beasts' defense.

Except for a few unlucky demon beasts shot in the eye, most beasts quickly passed through the rain of arrows, rushing towards the city walls.

Some speedy beasts already clung to the walls, swiftly climbing up and appearing on the city wall in no time.

"Everyone, attack!"

Seeing this.

Ye Qingchen shouted in a low voice.

Hong Man and Jiang Churan gripped their weapons tightly and charged towards the city wall.

Then they saw.

A leopard larger than a tiger, with claws like hooks, leapt onto the city wall in just a few bounds.

"Ah!"

In an instant, two soldiers trying to block the demon leopard were torn apart, blood and flesh scattered, bodies pulverized.

No soldier could stop the demon leopard's advance.

"Die!"

Seeing this, Ye Qingchen's eyes narrowed, and with a point of his toe, he rushed towards the demon leopard.

But at the same time.

"Thump, whoosh!"

The sound of a bowstring vibrated.

An arrow suddenly shot out of thin air, a streak of afterimage, and plunged into the demon leopard's right eye. The arrow powerfully pierced through the leopard's skull, pinning to the wall, its tail buzzing and vibrating.

The demon leopard let out a cry, collapsing heavily, dead on the spot.

"As expected of a Xingluo Sect disciple!"

"A divine archer indeed!"

"One shot to kill the demon leopard!"

The soldiers around cheered in unison.

Ye Qingchen frowned, looking ahead.

He saw a blue-clothed youth holding an Iron Embryo Bow, with an arrow ready, watching him tauntingly.

"This guy!"

Ye Qingchen thought to himself.

Immediately.

He realized the opponent's intent.

The opponent intended to steal their beasts, making them a laughing stock in Yun Gu City.

Indeed.

While the soldiers were cheering, many noticed Ye Qingchen, who had been about to attack the demon leopard.

"Who is that boy? It seems he also intended to take on the demon leopard!"

"No idea where this minor sect disciple came from, holding a grudge against those Xingluo Sect elites," a knowledgeable soldier sneered. "Before, in the tavern, he even said they could help fend off the beast tide!"

Hearing this, those around couldn't help but show mocking smiles.

Can't even kill one demon beast, yet claiming to fend them off?

"Haha!"

The Xingluo Sect disciples couldn't help but laugh seeing this.

Watching Ye Qingchen lose, they felt great satisfaction.

Even Lei Qianjue shook his head, looking at Ye Qingchen with pity.

Although.

Lei Qianjue acknowledged Ye Qingchen's strength was formidable, the veteran disciples were stronger.

"Had you left earlier, it wouldn't be so bad. You stay here to embarrass yourself, who can you blame?"

Lei Qianjue thought silently.

Next.

The archer wielding the Iron Embryo Bow intervened several more times, snatching away the demon beasts Hong Man and Jiang Churan aimed for, leaving them empty-handed.

As an archer, he could shoot wherever he pointed. Whenever Ye Qingchen's group targeted a demon beast, he would unhesitatingly take his shot. Even Ye Qingchen couldn't counter such archery prowess.

Witnessing this.

The soldiers on the wall appeared more disdainful.

Since the beast tide began, Ye Qingchen and the others hadn't managed to kill a single demon beast.

"Seems like they're just a bunch of braggarts!"

"Indeed... If I were them, I'd have no face left to stay on this wall!"

"No doubt Xingluo Sect, one of the Eight Major Sects, has extraordinary skills."

The soldiers laughed uninhibitedly at this point.

Even Jiang Churan felt like retreating.

The opponent's underhanded methods prevented the beasts from even approaching, let alone them killing any beast.

"This is all they can do!"

Amid the ridicule and the undisguised contempt from the Xingluo Sect members, Ye Qingchen suddenly burst into laughter.

"Want me not to kill any demon beast?"

"Fine!"

"Let's see who can outdo whom!"

With that, Ye Qingchen swiftly grasped with his right hand.

In an instant, gales whipped up around him.

Under Xingluo Sect's aggressive provocation, Ye Qingchen finally couldn't resist using the Sword Intent he mastered!
