“The situation at Storm Fort is alright, but outside of it, things have gone awry.”

The cultivator surnamed Liu sighed.

Originally, the main forces of the seven major sects were suppressing the Nascent Soul demon beast in the Storm Fort, but unbeknownst to them, a new demon beast that had just broken through to Rank-3 suddenly appeared on the periphery of Yun Meng Ze.

This demon beast didn’t show off after its breakthrough, but it began to command the hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts outside of Yun Meng Ze to besiege the sixty-six Fang Markets of the seven major sects.

When Elder Fu of the Divine Wood Sect arrived at Storm Fort, all the markets on the outside thought that the game was up and relaxed their vigilance.

It was at this very moment that this long-hidden Rank-3 demon beast began its attack.

In a single day and night, it broke the large formation of twelve markets and scattered the spirit veins that the seven major sects had cultivated with great difficulty with its innate divine abilities.

However, thanks to the demon beast focusing most of its attention on breaking the array, the surging invasion of demonic beasts outside carried out the attacks, whilst it quickly moved on to the sixty-six markets on the periphery of Yun Meng Ze.

But the response from the side of the seven major sects was swift too, they couldn’t let this rank-3 demon beast do as it pleased.

A few Gold Core Elders received the news and immediately arrived at Storm Fort through the teleportation array, then jointly deployed a magic artifact capable of detecting strong demon beasts, locking onto its aura.

In order to resolve things swiftly, Elder Fu from the Divine Wood Sect even used a Rank-4 Wind Escape Talisman, and Elder Mo of the Golden Cliff intercepted the newly promoted Rank-3 demon beast in a very short period of time.

Unexpectedly, the strength of this demon beast was surprisingly powerful, a direct descendant of the Nascent Soul demon beast that was suppressed by Hun Yuan Elder in the past. Although the two Gold Core Elders could overpower it, they were unable to kill it.

The fierce battle lasted for three days and nights. The surrounding waters within dozens of miles were blasted into a wasteland by them. In the end, it was Elder Mo of the Golden Cliff who used his life’s magic sword at the cost of his vital essence and severely wounded this demon beast.

Then there was a pursuit that lasted for a month, and even two Gold Core Elders exited Storm Fort, wanting to kill off this unlimited potential rank-3 demon beast, nipping the problem in the bud.

But at this moment, the seal in the heart of Yun Meng Ze began to stir. The Nascent Soul demon beast that had not appeared for a long time personally attacked the seal left by Hun Yuan Elder.

In the end, the four Gold Core Elders had to give up the pursuit and withdrew back to the Storm Fort.

After all, if they allowed the Nascent Soul demon beast to emerge, their seven major sects would probably have to abandon the Eastern Wilderness and go far away.

They, cultivators who had lived for over a hundred years, naturally understood which mattered more.

After Chen Mobai listened to the words of the cultivator surnamed Liu, he finally understood why Green Light Island was breached.

A Rank-3 demon beast, coupled with innate divine powers that could specifically shatter spirit veins, indeed couldn’t be resisted by a Fang Market guarded by only a few Foundation Establishment cultivators.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel glad that he wasn’t there at the time; otherwise, he might not have been able to find an eight-second gap in the tide of beast invasion and teleported back to the Celestial Gate.

“Wait, does that mean that that Rank-3 demon beast could come back at any time? Isn’t it unsafe here too? ”

Upon further thought, Chen Mobai’s face changed slightly.

He realized that this island could possibly repeat the same mistake, and now even the teleportation array was damaged. If attacked by demonic beasts, they would be sitting ducks.

“Don’t worry about this. If the seven major sects hadn’t resolved the problem, how would we dare to return?”

Cultivator Liu revealed another piece of news. Namely, the seven major sects announced last month that they had driven out the rank-3 beast from Yun Meng Ze.

Because of this, their family of cultivators dared to send people over to rebuild this trade route.

After all, the spiritual objects produced from Yun Meng Ze in the entire Eastern Wilderness account for more than thirty percent of what all cultivators use daily.

If they were to abandon this place, it would not only wreak havoc upon the cultivator families, but also cause serious distress to the Seven Major Sects.

Although the Seven Major Sects did not disclose how exactly they expelled the Rank-3 Demon Beast, their credibility remains quite high in the hearts of cultivators from all over the Eastern Wilderness. Therefore, the cultivators who had fled Yun Meng Ze earlier have gradually begun to return.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt relieved.

He had just begun to familiarize himself with the Eastern Wilderness, so if a monster were to break out of Yun Meng Ze, wouldn’t his plan to join the Divine Wood Sect get thwarted? He would then be forced to seek refuge in other domains of the Tianhe Realm.

Upon reaching the island, Chen Mobai registered his name.

A group of new cultivators had recently arrived from the Southstream Market, and their fleet was undergoing repairs, with an expected return voyage in about three days.

Without hesitating, he paid the fare of three Spirit Stones and secured his ticket. The price had tripled compared to before, but without any choice, to go back by himself would be too time-consuming. Furthermore, he couldn’t rule out the possibility of encountering demonic beasts on the waterway–for security reasons, it was better to move with the large group.

Chen Mobai strolled around the island, noting how rapidly the cultivators constructed huts. The market that was previously destroyed was slowly taking shape again.

Regrettably, the trading volume was very low, with just a few stalls set up.

Chen Mobai made some inquiries and found that the prices of magic artifacts and talismans had plummeted. The prices of elixirs had also fallen a little bit, but they remained relatively firm. Some elixirs for healing wounds or enhancing cultivation levels had even begun to surge in price following the onslaught of the demonic beasts.

Because many people have realized that cultivation level is the key.

Therefore, many surviving Loose Cultivators, instead of hoarding their Spirit Stones, started to buy large amounts of elixirs that enhance cultivation levels.

As for the healing elixirs, it goes without saying that several cultivators, despite having escaped from the island during the monster attack, had paid a heavy price.

Chen Mobai recalled the sixteen bottles of elixirs he brought from Green Light Island. He glanced at the labels and found that most of them were for boosting cultivation levels, while a small portion without labels were likely produced by those nameless alchemists.

Unfortunately, the shops of the major cultivator families on this island haven’t opened yet, and the Loose Cultivators selling elixirs at the stalls did not have enough Spirit Stones to buy the sixteen bottles in Chen Mobai’s hands.

He would have to wait until he returned to Southstream Market to sell them slowly.

After strolling around, Chen Mobai rented a room to stay in.

Three days later, he took his ticket to the shore only to spot a familiar face.

“Daoist He, I didn’t expect to run into you here.”

He Qun, who was already on the ship, was a little surprised at seeing Chen Mobai. However, he was in a terrible state, having lost one of his hands, his complexion looked much more aged than before, full of wrinkles.

“Daoist Chen.”

Both men, having only met once before, just exchanged greetings and took their respective seats on the ship.

Chen Mobai noticed that He Qun was alone. He remembered the seven-member team that He Qun had mentioned earlier. They must have suffered heavy losses in the monster attack, with only He Qun escaping with his life.

He wondered which market they had gone to.

Previously, he was a bit wary of He Qun, but now he thought it might have been Lu Shu’s words that had influenced him, making him overly suspicious.

Ever since knowing that Lu Shu had tampered with the Symbol Making Tips he had given him, Chen Mobai began to review all his previous conversations with him, at least no longer blindly trusting him.

In this Tianhe Realm, one must maintain a suspicious attitude towards everyone..
