Standing in front of the tent, Tang Xiu’s gaze followed Bai Yuheng’s group as they left. Then, he immediately turned to look at Mo Awu and said in a deep tone, “Pass my message to everyone to be careful. That Bai kid is not a good man. His strength may not be that strong, but he’s harboring bad intentions.”

“Why not kill them directly, Sect Master?” asked Mo Awu.

“The country needs more people right now,” said Tang Xiu faintly. “Moreover, be it Bai Yuheng or the people around him, they are not weak. Especially those two old geezers behind him. They may not be as strong as Golden Core Stage cultivators, but it’s likely they can match a late-stage Foundation Establishment expert. Killing them will waste more cannon fodder, so it’s best to let them fight the demonic beasts and die in their claws.”

Mo Awu caught the intention quickly and smilingly nodded. “You’re right, Sect Master. They’re going to die in any case. They might as well help us kill some demonic beasts, hehe. Alright, I’ll immediately tell everyone else. Should they dare to do anything shady to us, they are to capture them immediately.”

Tang Xiu returned to the military tent and immediately took out his communicator to dial Gu Xiaoxue’s cell number. After his call was picked up, he asked, “How is Xue Yu’s situation? Has she come out yet?”

“I’ve seen Master personally, Grand Master. She said she doesn’t know when Xue Yu will come out. It’s because she’s inside the Demon Horde Array. She won’t be able to come out of the array if the demons inside the array have yet to be exterminated completely.”

“Yan’er actually arranged a Demon Horde Array?” asked Tang Xiu in amazement.

“Yes! Xiaoxue also wanted to enter the Demon Horde Array, but Master said the array’s might is too powerful for me. Even 9 out of 10 Golden Core Stage experts will die inside it. She said only those at least at the Nascent Soul Stage would have a chance to survive inside.”

“I see.” Tang Xiu nodded and said, “Tell Yan’er that once Xue Yu comes out to immediately rush back to China. I’ll be waiting for her on the mainland.”

“Understood!” answered Gu Xiaoxue respectfully.

After hanging up, Tang Xiu seemed to contemplate something. The Demon Horde Array was a very suitable array for training, and many small and large sects in the Immortal World normally arranged this array with various levels of power to train their disciples. Gu Yan’er seemed to really care about Xue Yu since she arranged the Demon Horde Array for her training.

As the next day came, Duanmu Lin passed the news in the evening to inform Tang Xiu of the demonic beasts’ emergences. There was a strange occurrence, however, since those demonic beasts didn’t attack the blockade line immediately, but stopped about five kilometers away, as if waiting for something.

Quickly after, Tang Xiu appeared at the defensive line and saw that there were not only many cultivators who he had never seen, but also that Bai Clan’s scion—Bai Yuheng.

“Hmph!”

Upon seeing Tang Xiu, Bai Yuheng directly made a gesture of neck slashing and haughtily raised his head.

Feeling too lazy to bother his antics, Tang Xiu went towards Duanmu Lin and asked, “How many demonic beasts are there now, Senior Duanmu?”

“About 260-plus in total,” answered Duanmu Lin. “But I just informed you that another group of them is coming boasting similar numbers, around 300 demonic beasts. They haven’t come here and just stopped at the periphery. But I suspect these two groups of demonic beasts are acting like the vanguards of an army. Could it be that they are preparing something like a massive-scale attack?”

“It’s possible, I think.” Tang Xiu said, “We’ve killed many demonic beasts for the last few days, yet they are still fearless to attack the blockade line again and again. I think they’re testing the waters. And this time, it’s almost time for them to test a large-scale attack.”

“We can handle it if the number of the demonic beasts is less than 1,000, but over that is impossible,” said Duanmu Lin with a heavy face. “I must inform you that we have yet to find and collect all the materials needed for that geomancy array, so we can expect a massive loss on our side if we are to face them head-on.”

“We have no choice but to kill them to the best of our abilities,” said Tang Xiu. “We can’t just let them breach the blockade line even if we all die in battle. That’s right, there’s one thing I missed before. Why would these demonic beasts keep heading towards us? The Himalayas are very vast, while our blockade line only stretches out for tens of kilometers. What if those demonic beasts come out from other places?”

“Several groups of our armed forces have already blocked several regions of our country. We have also installed monitoring equipment in many special areas and some spy satellites in space to monitor them. But still, we haven’t spotted any signs of demonic beasts in other regions. I suspect there’s a huge array in the depths of the Himalayas, but it has been breached and the exit is right in front of the scope of our blockade line.”

Tang Xiu was silent for a moment. Then, he nodded and said, “Your conjecture is reasonable. Yet, we can’t neglect to guard the other regions either. How about forming a patrol squad? In case the common people can’t spot them, cultivators can discover them in advance. It’s just for precaution since there can be no slight negligence in this case.”

“I’ll arrange it immediately after we repel this attack.” Duanmu Lin nodded.

Time ticked and four hours passed by in the blink of an eye. A cultivator was sitting cross-legged under the curtain of the dark night while calmly waiting for the arrival of the demonic beasts’ horde. From the footage sent by the surveillance equipment, the number of demonic beasts kept increasing and there were now over 1,000 of them gathered 5-plus kilometers away from them.

“Reporting, Sir. They are moving just now!”

Aquababe, donning a stinted camouflage suit, dashed and appeared before Duanmu Lin.

With a changed complexion, Duanmu Lin shouted, “Attention, everyone! The horde of demonic beasts has begun rushing towards our position. Get ready to fight!”
