On the main plaza …
The head master saw that almost everyone had arrived, so he told everyone about what had happened in the Silent Hills. He then ordered everyone not to step into the Silent Hills and wait for the result of the investigation.
"What? Nine outer disciples had died in the outer area of the Silent Hills, and it was all at once! What had happened? "
"The Silent Hills is not that far from the Sky Cloud Martial School. This year has been quite an eventful one for our Sky Cloud Martial School."
"What are you afraid of? It is only a beast. I hope the leader will gather us to hunt the beasts in the Silent Hills. It has been a long time since we last got some exercise."
"Don't be too confident. There are one or two rank 7 beasts in the deepest part of the Silent Hills. One of them is confirmed to be the Ghost Face Demonic Cow. As for the other one, no one knows for sure. Some say it is a rank 6 tyrant beast, while others say it is a rank 7 beast."
"Two rank 7 beasts … It is indeed tricky. Fortunately, we have two peak level Early Astral Reaching Realm warriors and brother Ye, no, I should call him the Great Master."
Everyone was discussing, curious about what had happened in the Silent Hills.
"Alright, everyone disperse. Remember, without orders, no one is allowed to come close or enter the Silent Hills. Otherwise, even if you do not die, you will be punished according to the school rules." The head master waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse.
Shoo!
Right then, a white shadow flew into the sky from the Cloud Mountain, disappearing into the clouds. The head master could see it clearly. It was indeed the Great Master, Cloud Dreamer.
"Great Master, are you going to the Silent Hills? I wonder what the result will be? "
One day later …
Cloud Dreamer had returned. His face was expressionless, and no one could tell anything from his expression.
On the Cloud Mountain …
Thunder Freer asked, "Cloud Dreamer, did anything happen in the Silent Hills?"
"I fought with the rank 7 Ghost Face Demonic Cow. This demonic cow is much more powerful than it was ten years ago. The good thing was that the problem was not with it. Otherwise, even if you and I fought together, we might not be able to kill it. At most, we would only be able to push it back." Cloud Dreamer sat on the stone bench and took a sip of tea.
"You only fought with the Demon-Faced Bull and didn't do anything else?"
Cloud Dreamer looked a bit serious, "I don't know if it is my illusion, but half of the Silent Hills is covered by a layer of black qi. I think it is the reason why the beasts from other places are gathering here and going crazy. Unfortunately, we haven't found the source of the black qi yet. Plus, I might not be able to handle it by myself."
"Black aura, strange!" Thunder Freer thought for a while and said, "I'll go check it out tomorrow. Maybe I can find the source of the black qi."
"Alright, let's take turns. When Ye Chen comes out of seclusion, we'll work together to search for him."
After a month, Thunder Freer and Cloud Dreamer took turns to enter the Silent Hills to search for the source of the black qi. However, the qi was very uniform, and they couldn't tell where it was thicker. They couldn't find anything. Gradually, they started to get anxious. Recently, the beasts from the outer area of the Silent Hills had been attacking the villages and towns nearby. As the real ruler of the area within ten thousand miles, the Sky Cloud Martial School had the responsibility to protect them. If the area under their control was not safe, then where would the Sky Cloud Martial School's reputation go?
"Remember, although our Sky Cloud Martial School is one of the top five martial institutions, do not bully or look down on the disciples of other martial institutions or families. Anyone who breaks the rules will be punished. Do you hear me?" On the main plaza, the top management of the Sky Cloud Martial School had a serious look on their faces. This incident was classified as a small area beast wave incident. Although it was not as big as a small beast wave, they still couldn't be careless. They had already notified all the leaders of the big cities within ten thousand miles, the leaders of all the big families, and some of the leaders of the non-ranked martial institutions. They were going to form an alliance army to kill more and more beasts and protect the safety of the ordinary people.
"Understood!"
After the incident with Jin Huang, everyone was not afraid of this small area beast wave. Instead, they were a bit excited and wanted to go there immediately.
…
Within a blink of an eye, another month had passed.
During this month, everyone from the Sky Cloud Martial School had had a very fulfilling life. Every day, there would be a huge amount of beasts walking out of the Silent Hills, attacking villages and towns. The people from the Sky Cloud Martial School who were guarding the villages and towns would join hands with the people from other forces in the nearby areas to kill the beasts.
Cloud Dreamer and Thunder Freer took turns to patrol the battlefield. Of course, they did not join the battle, since the small area beast wave was not that dangerous. For warriors, it was a great training opportunity. Sometimes, there would even be a situation where there were not enough beasts to kill, and people would fight for the beasts.
Seeing this, everyone let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, it was still under control. Maybe it was because of some reason that the number of beasts had increased and turned violent. Seriously speaking, this was not a beast wave. A real beast wave, even if it was a small one, was extremely dangerous. Every time it appeared, there would be a lot of casualties. It would not be like this, where everyone was fighting for the beasts.
In a city near the Silent Hills, Cloud Dreamer smiled. The black qi was indeed strange, but as long as it was not too dangerous, he would have time to deal with it.
In the afternoon, a horrifying roar suddenly came from the outer area of the Silent Hills. Then, the sky turned dark, and dark clouds appeared, covering the sun and the sky.
"Ghost Face Demonic Cow … No, it is another rank 7 beast." Cloud Dreamer's heart slightly tightened. His Zhen yuan was ready to explode, ready to burn at any second.
After a while, a hundred-meter-long, jet-black, giant snake slithered over at an extreme speed. Its body was covered with palm-sized black scales, and there was a curved horn on its head. There was a black qi flowing on that horn, which had stimulated the beasts nearby to become even crazier.
"Black qi … It is the Sky Demon Snake!"
Cloud Dreamer looked a bit bad. The Sky Demon Snake's defense was extremely powerful, and it was almost invincible among the beasts at the same rank. If it were a rank 6 Sky Demon Snake, then it would be the tyrant of the rank 6 beasts, which would be even more powerful than the Wind Beast. If it were a rank 7 beast, then it would be the tyrant of the rank 7 beasts. According to the rumors, the Sky Demon Snake had the bloodline of the ancient beast, the Demon Dragon. Once it reached rank 7, it would be able to breathe out a black flame that was similar to a dragon's breath, which could burn everything. It was extremely horrifying. Even peak-level Mid Astral Reaching Realm warriors would have a headache facing it.
The Sky Demon Snake straightened up half of its body, opening its mouth and shooting out a bucket-thick dark light at Cloud Dreamer. On its way, the trees were shattered, and the ground cracked open, leaving behind a deep ravine.
"Open!"
Burning his Zhen yuan, a sword appeared in his hand. Cloud Dreamer threw out a sword attack at the dark light. As for dodging, he did not even think about it, since there were hundreds of thousands of people in the city behind him.
Boom!
The dark light had been shattered, and Cloud Dreamer was blown dozens of meters away in the air.
The Sky Demon Snake stared at Cloud Dreamer with its vertical pupils. As it flicked its tongue, a black flame spread out, burning the air and turning it into a vacuum world.
"I did not expect that there would be such a rare Sky Demon Snake in the Silent Hills. This snake must have reached rank 7 recently. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me not to notice it." The Sky Demon Snake was born as a rank 5 beast, and it would grow into a rank 6 beast when it was young. During its growth period, it would become a rank 7 beast, and when it matured, it would become a rank 8 beast. Different from the normal beasts, once it reached its growth period, it would become extremely bloodthirsty and brutal. Wherever it went, blood would flow like a river. It was extremely aggressive, and it was born with the demonic nature, just like the ancient Demon Dragon, which was the symbol of killing and bloodthirst.
"I cannot handle a rank 7 Sky Demon Snake, and I cannot save this city by myself. It seems like I will have to join hands with brother Lei." It was an emergency situation, so Cloud Dreamer planned to lure the Sky Demon Snake to a place not far away from the Sky Cloud Martial School. By then, Thunder Freer would definitely notice. Once he arrived, the two of them would be able to stall the Sky Demon Snake for a while. Of course, Cloud Dreamer had other plans as well. Ye Chen had been in closed up training for six months, and his power must have improved. If the three of them joined hands, there was still a chance for them to beat the Sky Demon Snake back. Right now, it was the only choice they could make.
"Cloud Shattering Sky Cut!"
Thinking about that, Cloud Dreamer yelled out as he poured his burning Zhen yuan into his great sword. He threw out an arc shaped sword Qi.
Boom!
The sword Qi was bounced off by the Sky Demon Snake's scales, only leaving a small crack on it. Cloud Dreamer was secretly happy seeing that. This Sky Demon Snake had just leveled up not long ago, so its defense was not that powerful. That way, they would have a higher chance of winning.
The Sky Demon Snake was furious, and started to approach Cloud Dreamer.
Cloud Dreamer kept fighting and backing out at the same time, gradually leaving that area.
Hundreds of miles later, wherever the man and beast went, everything was in a mess. A lot of mountains had collapsed, and rivers had stopped flowing. From the beginning to the end, the Sky Demon Snake had not spat out any black flame. It seemed like it had just reached rank 7 not long ago, so there was not much black flame left.
"Alright, this is the place!"
Dozens of miles behind him was the Sky Cloud Martial School. Cloud Dreamer stopped moving and started to fight with the Sky Demon Snake. The sword Qi and the dark light were everywhere.
Shoo!
Cloud Dreamer was too agile. The Sky Demon Snake obviously had the upper hand, but it still could not hit him within a short period of time. The Sky Demon Snake rolled its eyes and opened its mouth again, shooting out a huge wave of black flame towards Cloud Dreamer's direction. The flame seemed to be alive, blocking all of Cloud Dreamer's escape routes.
"Cloud Dragon Nine Turns!"
Twisting his body, Cloud Dreamer flashed eight times before he managed to escape from the black flame. However, the long robe on his body had been brushed by the black flame and started to burn. Cloud Dreamer made a quick decision and cut off the burning long robe. The black flame could burn anything, even if it was not dead, it would be crippled.
The man and the beast were making too much noise. Thunder Freer, who was in the Sky Cloud Martial School, had sensed Cloud Dreamer's qi. His expression changed, and he flew out without saying a word.
From afar, Thunder Freer saw the massive Sky Demon Snake. He performed his Sky Demon Great Art, burning his zhen yuan and forming the Sky Thunder Battle Armor outside his body. "Cloud Dreamer, let me help you."
"Alright, be careful of its black flame."
…
Shocking Cloud Mountain …
Sitting on the stone platform, Ye Chen let out a breath. This time, the qi was even more intense than the last time. It went through the secret room directly and reached the edge of the mountain.
"It has been six months. I am afraid it will be hard to reach the thirteenth level in a short period of time. But, it should be enough. With my current power, I will no longer need to be afraid of Mid Astral Reaching Realm warriors."
Standing up, Ye Chen waved his hand and the door of the secret room opened. His body flashed, disappearing within a blink of an eye.
