“Why?” Su Jinyue asked.

Ye Wushuang replied, “Didn’t I just tell you… The area to the left is the territory of the Swallowing Flame Tiger, and the right is the territory of the Green-Scaled Beast. These two beasts—well, there might be more than just two—are third-class mid-level spiritual beasts with strengths ranging from the fourth to sixth levels of the Tian Gang realm…”

“These disciples from Lingjian Mountain are making such a commotion while hunting the Unicorn Colt here. How could they not attract the attention of both sides?” Su Jinyue’s expression changed as well. Indeed, that made sense.

“Surely not…” Su Jinyue said slowly, “If the Unicorn Colt dares to be active here…”

Ye Wushuang sighed, “The Unicorn Colt is itself a third-class spiritual beast. Although its combat strength is not strong, it is incredibly fast…”

Su Jinyue wanted to find some more reasons to argue, but at that moment, a gust of cold wind howled out. From the forest on the left side of the valley, a terrifying aura erupted, causing one’s heart to race. Immediately after, an intense heat seemed to ignite the entire forest. A massive spiritual beast, standing nine zhang tall, stomped its enormous paws on the ground, causing tremors with each step.

“Swallowing Flame Tiger!” The nine-zhang-tall beast resembled a tiger, with its fur a blazing red. Its breath exhaled hot air, carrying an extremely terrifying fiery energy that scorched the grass in front of it yellow.

At the same time, a flash of green light burst from the pile of stones on the right. Everyone saw the green light stabilize, revealing a towering figure seven or eight zhang tall, standing on a heap of boulders. Its body was covered in green scales, resembling a kirin, with a spirited demeanor and eyes that emitted a green glow.

Green-Scaled Beast!

The two great spiritual beasts, one on the left and one on the right, had truly appeared.

Su Jinyue’s face turned pale. Now, Shui Wanrong and Zhu Yushu were in deep trouble!

Su Jinyue clenched a black dagger in her hand and took a step forward.

“What are you doing?” Ye Wushuang grabbed Su Jinyue’s arm.

The trial had only begun half a month ago, and even many geniuses at the ninth level of the Yuanfu realm had yet to reach the Tian Gang realm. Even if someone had reached the Tian Gang realm, they would only be at the first or second level. The two beasts before them were third-class mid-level spiritual beasts; even those who had broken through to the realm of pride would die if they dared to fight them head-on. Not to mention Su Jinyue!

“Shui Wanrong and I have a very close relationship in Lingjian Mountain. I can’t just stand by and watch her die!” Su Jinyue insisted.

“Would you not die if you recklessly charge in?” Ye Wushuang hissed in a low voice, “You would just be adding a mouthful of food for those two beasts!”

“But…” Su Jinyue’s face turned even more pale.

She felt even worse at the thought of watching her friend be killed.

“Ye Wushuang, you must have a way, don’t you?” Su Jinyue immediately said, “Help me!”

“If you help me, I’ll tell you the relationship between the Lingjian Pavilion and Lingjian Mountain. How about that?”

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang looked at Su Jinyue.

“Remember what you said,” he said.

“Sure!” Su Jinyue nodded.

Then, Ye Wushuang looked ahead and said, “Let’s hold off for now. I can’t guarantee that I can save all of those twenty or so people.”

“Alright,” Su Jinyue agreed.

At this moment, Shui Wanrong and Zhu Yushu from Lingjian Mountain also saw the arrival of the Swallowing Flame Tiger and the Green-Scaled Beast.

“Senior Zhu, it’s the Swallowing Flame Tiger and the Green-Scaled Beast!” a young man’s face turned pale with terror as he exclaimed.

“Damn it!” Zhu Yushu, holding a long spear, was frustrated.

The Unicorn Colt inside the valley was almost exhausted.

A third-class low-level spiritual beast, worth two thousand spiritual points, was almost within their grasp.

But now, two third-class mid-level spiritual beasts had suddenly appeared on either side.

Both were formidable, with the weakest being at the fourth level of the Tian Gang realm.

Everyone was trapped inside the valley, and to escape, they had to pass through the valley entrance.

But the Swallowing Flame Tiger and the Green-Scaled Beast were standing on either side of the entrance, facing each other.

Running out now would be suicide!

What should they do?

Zhu Yushu was anxious.

“Senior Zhu, think of something!” a graceful woman with furrowed brows urged.

“I’m thinking!” Zhu Yushu snapped.

Of course he knew he had to think of something, but what could he possibly do in this situation?

It was a dead end!

“Break through!” Suddenly, Zhu Yushu shouted, “Forget about the Unicorn Colt and just charge out!”

“The Swallowing Flame Tiger and the Green-Scaled Beast must have been attracted by the Unicorn Colt’s cries. Those two beasts will definitely fight over the Unicorn Colt and won’t pay attention to us!”

Hearing this, Zhu Yushu raised his spear, preparing to charge out.

The twenty or so disciples of Lingjian Mountain looked at each other in doubt.

Now, no one cared about the injured Unicorn Colt anymore.

But would it really be safe to just charge out of the valley?

Zhu Yushu didn’t dare to be the first to charge. He looked at a young man beside him and said, “Li Yuan, go!”

The young man named Li Yuan’s face turned pale as he stammered, “Senior Zhu, I… I…”

“Am I going to harm you? Go!” Unable to refuse, Li Yuan took a deep breath and charged out of the valley.

“Quick, quick, everyone follow,” he urged.

Immediately, several figures rushed out.

Zhu Yushu, with no other choice and a determined heart, also charged out…
