Chapter 166: The Beginning of the Invasion
Inside the time chamber, Xu Fan, now an old man, was dozing off.
Suddenly, Grape’s voice echoed.
“Wansheng Nation, Chao Hai County has detected a massive surge of demonic aura. Suspected beast race activity. Master, your orders?”
Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes and, with some effort, said, “Follow the plan. If any beast race above the Core Formation stage is spotted, initiate the relocation plan.”
“Understood.”
At the Hidden Spirit Sect, on a mountain peak, Xu Gang was instructing Xu Lingtai.
“Wansheng Nation, the western grasslands of Chao Hai County are under beast race invasion. Be ready to fight at any moment.”
Simultaneously, Xu Yuexian, Wang Xiangchi, and Li Xingci received Grape’s command.
The steward of the Elder Council in Lin Sen Fairy City also got Xu Fan’s message.
Instantly, over ten streaks of light shot up from the Elder Council, heading towards Wansheng Nation.
Wansheng Nation lies 100,000 miles north of Lin Sen Fairy City. In the western grasslands of Chao Hai County, a group of robust men on horseback were herding thousands of sheep with several herding beasts.
“Haha, Big Niu, look at how lush the grass is this year. We can raise at least a thousand more lambs.”
“Then you can go to the Yun Hai tribe and marry the most beautiful girl on the grassland,” joked a man on a black steed.
Big Niu didn’t reply but stared at a shooting star crossing the sky. Seeing the sky turn purple with demonic energy, he felt a sudden unease.
“Xiao Feng, Da Jiao, Fei Peng, head to the Navy Camp town. Something feels off. It might be a battle among immortals.”
“I’ll check out what’s happening over there.”
Big Niu rode towards the falling star. Not far away, a loud boom shook the ground, followed by a shockwave that threw him off his horse.
In the heart of Wansheng Nation, ten spiritual boats ascended, carrying thousands of puppets towards western Chao Hai County.
At the landing site of the teleportation formation, a hundred-meter-wide teleportation formation appeared, glowing with purple light.
Soon, a Void Refinement stage wolf-headed beast stepped out, followed by dozens of similar beasts.
The leading Void Refinement stage wolf demon surveyed the area and then summoned a hundred-meter-high teleportation gate, merging it with the formation.
“Today marks the rise of our Shadow Wolf tribe.”
“Awo~~~~”
Countless giant wolves burst through the portal.
“Eastward, I sense many human mortals.”
“Let’s conquer those weak humans and restore the ancient glory of the Shadow Wolf tribe.”
All wolf demons transformed and charged eastward, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust.
“While the human cultivators aren’t here yet, let’s teleport more. This will be the foundation of our Shadow Wolf tribe,” said the Void Refinement leader, glancing around.
Then, four Core Formation stage beasts emerged, standing by the teleportation gate, awaiting the tribe leader.
After a long wait, the four Shadow Wolf beasts looked at the gate, puzzled.
“Where are the tribe leader and the two elders? Why haven’t they come out yet?” one Core Formation stage Shadow Wolf beast asked.
“Maybe there’s a temporary issue. I’ll go back and check the situation.”
A Core Formation stage wolf demon retreated into the teleportation formation.
Not long after, he emerged again.
“That’s strange. The brothers guarding the Clan said the leader and elders have already arrived.”
At this moment, question marks appeared above the heads of all the Shadow Wolf Clan members.
This same scenario was happening among countless beast race members arriving through teleportation.
Stone Spirit Tribe, Hundred Charm Fox Tribe, Fire Wolf Tribe, Strength Tiger Tribe, Broken Gold Mouse Tribe, ……………….
They discovered that the Clan leaders and elders who had teleported over were missing; specifically, all beast race members above the Core Formation stage had vanished.
Big Niu looked at his horse, which had soiled itself in fear, and then at the wolf pack in the distance, surging like ocean waves. His legs instantly gave out, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to stand.
The howling of the wolves made Big Niu’s pants wet. He had only heard of the legendary beasts before; they were said to be even more terrifying than wild animals. He never expected to see one today.
“Amei, I’ll marry you in my next life.”
Big Niu’s sharp eyes caught sight of a beast a few hundred meters away.
At this moment, the leading Foundation Establishment stage Shadow Wolf was drooling with excitement. For the beast race, humans were the most delicious flesh, especially cultivators nourished by spiritual energy.
That mortal ahead was just an appetizer; as the lead wolf, it had the right to enjoy the most delicious heart.
“No, I can’t die. I need to go back.”
Facing the endless tide of wolf demons, Big Niu felt utterly overwhelmed. He began to crawl desperately toward the direction of the Navy Camp.
The lead wolf watched Big Niu struggle in his final moments, its gaze growing increasingly cruel.
Just as the wolf demon closed in to within a hundred meters of Big Niu, a Golden Core Stage puppet grabbed him and pulled him onto a spiritual boat.
By then, hundreds of flying boats had gathered in the sky.
A detection eye artifact appeared on one of the boats, scanning the situation of the beast race below.
“Wolf Clan, approximately 100,000 in number: 50% Golden Core Stage, 20% Nascent Soul Stage, 156 Void Refinement stage, and 4 Core Formation stage.”
“This exceeds our current capacity. The message has been sent to headquarters and the Elder Council.”
“Celestial satellite deployment initiated. Target: strike the core teleportation formation.”
“Current objective: prevent the beast race from slaughtering mortals while ensuring their safety.”
At that moment, a gigantic wolf claw appeared in the sky, smashing over thirty flying boats in mid-air.
The remaining sixty or so flying boats headed toward the nearest city, dropping countless watermelon-sized Thunder Bombs onto the ground.
On the flying boat carrying Big Niu, a Golden Core Stage puppet suddenly asked, “Mortal, how far is it to the nearest town?”
“Immortal, the nearest sheep-selling town is 150 miles away,” Big Niu replied, his voice trembling as he pointed in the direction of the town.
“Immortal, my brothers haven’t gotten far. Can you save them?” Big Niu suddenly remembered and urgently pleaded with the puppet.
Big Niu also wanted to ask these non-immortal immortals to save his thousands of sheep, but he held back, fearing he might be abandoned.
“They’ve already been rescued. A total of three people and six sheep,” the Golden Core Stage puppet said coldly.
“Thank you, Immortal,” Big Niu said, bowing his head.
As time passed, more and more flying boats gathered in the sky, totaling 300.
Now, all the spiritual boats had landed in front of the sheep-selling town, where 300,000 puppets formed an ironclad defense line.
