Everything had happened in an extremely abrupt manner.
This was like when an emperor was on a tour of the city, and all of the citizens were kneeling before him. No one would have thought that there would be such an audacious person.
Just because heaven and earth had changed didn't mean that their powers had been restricted.
An Lin stared at the descending bolt of white lightning with astonishment on his face. No one in their right mind would do something like that. However, this was not a human, but a centipede!
And this was a centipede that lived in the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool!
The white lightning pierced through the night sky before crashing into the massive carriage being carried by the four black-furred sheep beings.
Boom!
The lightning exploded upon striking the roof of the carriage, causing the carriage to tremor slightly, but it remained completely unscathed.
The tens of thousands of semi-transparent beasts faltered before turning to look at the centipede. They were all very quiet, but the frosty aura emanating from their bodies was enough to freeze the entire space around them.
An Lin's heart jolted upon seeing this, and he couldn't help but hold his breath.
However, the centipede was not intimidated in the slightest. "How dare you try to play tricks in the middle of the night! I'll kill you all!"
An Lin was astonished. Was there something wrong with this centipede's head?
Right at this moment, lightning erupted from the centipede's body as it prepared to unleash another attack!
However, it didn't have a chance.
Among the tens of thousands of semi-transparent beasts, one of the more eye-catching ones, which appeared to be a dragon-headed being, hurled its spear toward the centipede.
Whoosh!
The spear instantly pierced through space before instantly piercing into the centipede's body.
"Hiss … hiss!" the centipede let loose a bloodcurdling cry.
Its body slowly crumbled before completely disappearing on the spot.
Then, An Lin was greeted by the sight of a massive semi-transparent centipede lying silently in a certain corner of the beast tide.
An Lin's heart jolted with shock upon seeing this. The centipede had been assimilated?!
Within Bai Hu City, over half of the beasts who were still engaged in battle chose to attack the beast tide in the sky.
Thus, all of the attacking beasts were slain in less than a minute.
They had all become a part of the strange beast tide.
That was not the end. Tens of thousands of semi-transparent beasts drew their bowstrings to materialize a green arrow, which they aimed toward all directions within Bai Hu City.
Release the string!
Sou sou sou sou sou …
At that moment, tens of thousands of arrows were fired simultaneously!
The densely packed green arrows were so dazzling in the black and white world.
They pierced through the darkness like a spectacular meteor shower, leaving a series of green trails in their wake as they fell toward all directions of White Tiger City!
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Xiao Ze's expressions changed at the same time.
Their Divine Senses were highly concentrated, fearing that an arrow would fall towards them.
Blood-curdling screams filled the entire White Tiger City!
The sound was weakened by the special world, so it was very weak. But to people with high cultivation like An Lin, it was clear.
That voice was mournful and painful, and it was accompanied by the disappearance of life.
It was also at that moment that the 70,000 strong Beast Tide army became 80,000 strong.
The world regained its tranquility.
"Clean up complete. Next stop."
A vast and ethereal voice rang out.
The eighty thousand beasts seemed to have received some sort of instruction, and they began to advance toward the distance along the green river.
The strange army left just like that, and heaven and earth returned to normal.
Many of the sleeping beasts didn't even react to this strange phenomenon. Instead, they were still snoring, either because they had been struck by a spell technique, or because they were truly in a deep sleep.
An Lin heaved a long sigh of relief upon seeing this. He exchanged a glance with Xu Xiaolan, and both of them could see the astonishment in each other's eyes.
They didn't dare to investigate the situation as they were too scared.
The power displayed before them struck them with a sense of irresistible power.
"Those beasts were most likely killed, then transformed into some kind of special form," Xu Xiaolan paused momentarily before continuing, "It's a bit similar to what I know, they're puppet souls."
"Puppet souls?" This was the first time An Lin had heard of this term.
"That's right, they're a type of soul, which is what we often refer to as ghosts."
"However, they're ghosts with no consciousness, and they possess a portion of the energy of a living being when they were alive. As such, they can be manipulated by external living beings," Xu Xiaolan explained.
"Souls that are manipulated by living beings?" A thought seemed to have occurred to An Lin, and his eyes lit up. "Could it be a mighty figure from the Opposite Shore Realm?"
Aside from the ghosts in the Opposite Shore Realm, which bordered the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool, there was probably no one else in this world who could manipulate souls like this.
Xu Xiaolan clearly agreed with An Lin's conjecture, and she continued, "The one in the palanquin is most likely a mighty figure from the Opposite Shore Realm. Isn't he afraid of the beast tribe's vengeance by massacring so many souls in the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool?"
"Could it be that the beast tribe hired it to take care of some beasts?" An Lin suddenly thought of something. "When it said 'clean up complete, next stop', it sounded like it was about to complete some kind of mission."
Xu Xiaolan nodded. "That's a possibility. Perhaps it has something to do with the chaos in the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool. We don't know the specifics, but we'll see what the Jade Bone Immortal Bug has to say tomorrow. I don't think it's a coincidence that it's gathering all of the Soul Formation Stage powerful beings tomorrow. "
An Lin asked, "You're saying that it's waiting for a mighty figure from the Opposite Shore Realm to take care of a wave of beasts before gathering?"
"I can't rule out that possibility," Xu Xiaolan replied.
Both of them fell silent.
They sat on the rooftop of the building and looked out at the sea of stars in the foreign realm. They watched as the stars twinkled and the rivers of stars flowed.
The night was peaceful and tranquil.
Aside from the strange snoring that was a bit of a killjoy, everything was so peaceful and tranquil.
The sounds of battle could no longer be heard in the second half of the night, and the atmosphere became a bit more normal.
Before they knew it, the next morning had arrived.
The golden tiger rushed to Bai Hu City and contacted An Lin and the others via voice transmission talisman.
"Tiger, did you see a beast tide pass through the sky yesterday?" An Lin asked in a low voice upon seeing the golden tiger.
"A beast tide passed through the sky? Was it a flock of birds migrating? "The golden tiger was dumbstruck.
An Lin heaved a forlorn sigh upon hearing this.
It looked like the golden tiger didn't know about this.
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Xiao Ze were going to the central palace of Bai Hu City as the golden tiger's servants, where the Jade Bone Immortal Bug was waiting for them.
An Lin handed the Illusionary Star Robe to Xu Xiaolan and instructed her to disguise her aura in order to avoid detection by Return to Void Stage mighty figures.
An Lin's consciousness was more than powerful enough to crush most Return to Void Stage mighty figures, so he could naturally disguise and conceal his aura.
As for Xiao Ze, his cultivation base was at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage.
Apparently, the Jade Bone Immortal Bug was only at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Initial Stage.
It would be impossible for him to detect any abnormalities in An Lin and the others.
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Xiao Ze were led by the golden tiger to the gargantuan palace. The palace was over a kilometer tall, and it had a quaint and majestic exterior. The walls were lined with black and white stripes, just like a zebra. Aside from that, there wasn't anything special about it.
That was the way the beasts looked at things. All that mattered was that it was livable.
Pure and simple!
An Lin walked into the palace with curiosity in his heart.
