Chapter 71 - Chapter 71: Chapter 71: The Golden Core Strikes (2/2)
Then, Yan Xiong spoke,
“Elder Wei, what do you think…”
“What should we do next, stay here or go somewhere else?”
Wei Zhengqing furrowed his brows in thought for a moment before speaking.
“I believe we should stay here for the time being. There are no Demonic Beasts here now, so it’s relatively safe. Other places might not be as safe.” After saying that, Wei Zhengqing thought for a while longer and then said,
“We could go to the Inner Fang Market and wait for its grand formation to activate.”
Lin Jing, however, shook his head and said,
“Brother Wei, Elder Yan…’
“There’s no use counting on those people in the Inner Fang Market anymore. If they wanted to open the defensive formation, they most likely would have done so already.”
“I heard from Elder Yu before that the formation was activated because the Golden Core Cultivators who went deep into the Night Mist Mountain Range demanded it.”
“The reason was that they feared Demonic Beasts might attack while they were away and that beasts or outer sect Cultivators might enter the Fang Market and harm their properties within the Inner Fang Market, so they activated the grand formation of the Inner Fang Market.”
“Now that this situation has truly arisen, they certainly won’t open it.”
Wei Zhengqing frowned; this was the first time he had heard about this.
“Since that’s the case, let’s just stay here and not go anywhere.”
“Alright…”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, the chaos caused by the Demonic Beasts continued.
Lin Jing and his group stayed in this place that was still relatively safe for the moment.
Every now and then, a roar from some beast or the scream of a Human Cultivator could be heard in the distance.
Clearly, the danger was still ongoing.
About half an hour later, two elders flew in from outside the Fang Market.
Lin Jing and the others looked up to see the two elders.
One of them, Lin Jing actually recognized.
It was the manager whom Lin Jing had met when he first visited the Fang Market, at the management office of the Inner Fang Market.
The other elder with white whiskers, however, was unfamiliar to Lin Jing.
The two stood in the air, their brows locked in worry as they looked down upon the ground left in tatters after the Demonic Beasts’ rampage.
At that moment…
A group of Cultivators being chased by Demonic Beasts arrived here.
Upon seeing the two elders, sensing their powerful aura, the group of Cultivators ran swiftly towards them.
“Elders, save us…”
The Cultivators being pursued by the Demonic Beasts quickly called out to the two elders for help.
Up in the air, the manager of the Inner Fang Market said to the elder with white whiskers,
“Old Bai, how about you take care of it?”
“Sure…”
The white-whiskered elder nodded, then flew towards the group of Cultivators.
Suddenly, a beam of white light shot out from the sleeve of the white-whiskered elder towards the group of Demonic Beasts at breakneck speed.
The white light entered among the beasts like a wild lightning bolt, darting through the herd, swiftly slashing as it went,
And the cries of the Demonic Beasts were unceasing, one after another in rapid succession.
In no time, the ground was a mess, with the Demonic Beasts sliced and scattered everywhere.
This white-whiskered elder was indeed a Golden Core Cultivator.
The surviving Cultivators, overjoyed, hurried to offer their respects to the white-whiskered elder.
“Thank you, elder.”
However, the white-whiskered elder paid them no attention and flew directly towards the distant roars of beasts.
It seemed he was preparing to take action and clear out all the Demonic Beasts.
“With a Golden Core Immortal stepping in, we’re finally saved.” Many people sighed with relief, their hearts finally put at ease..
