Shen Lin and the Yaksha Dong Jin were sitting cross-legged in a thick forest one hundred miles away from the Yang family's temporary residence.
Around Shen Lin and Dong Jin were around one hundred warriors at the Earth Realm and Nirvana Realm. They were arrayed in a ring-shaped formation, as if they were waiting for something.
Between Shen Lin and Dong Jin was a silver mirror as tall as a human. At first, the mirror was blurry. However, after the Soul Consciousness and Essence Qi were poured into it, it became clearer. Vaguely, they could see a figure in it.
Shen Lin and Dong Jin became tense. They stood up, clasping their hands in front of their chest. They were even more respectful than when they were talking to Yang Tian Emperor.
The figure in the mirror became clearer. It was a lanky old man wearing a long gray robe. He wore an ugly green mask on his face. He asked with a cold voice. "How's it going?"
Shen Lin's face was solemn. He bent his body slightly and answered hurriedly. "Soon. We can persuade at least half of them to leave. After a while, we can persuade more. The bigger the pressure is, the more people will have different thoughts. "
The man in the mirror nodded, his voice dark and gloomy. "So why did you call me?"
"Shi Yan's back," Shen Lin stooped, talking in a low voice.
"Shi Yan..." The man in the mirror was stirred up. He shouted, "Watch him for me. That kid isn't content with his lot. Don't let him mess up our business. You guys pay attention to him. Don't provoke him. I will find a way to kill him. "
Shen Lin and Dong Jin shivered inwardly, their faces astounded.
They all knew the identity of the man in the mirror. They were clear about his realm and cultivation base. Such a strong warrior actually valued ShiYan that much, which frightened them a lot.
At this moment, they vaguely recognized that their understanding of Shi Yan wasn't complete.
"Shi Yan's cunning. Don't contact me for the time being. You guys can delay the things I've asked you to do." The man pondered for a while. "You guys wait here. Don't leave. Just watch them. I'll deal with Shi Yan."
Shen Lin and Dong Jin agreed without hesitation.
Suddenly, the roar of a wild beast came from afar. A strong smell of blood spread over even though it was far away.
Shen Lin and Dong Jin were startled. They hurriedly apologized and put away the silver mirror. Then, they ran out of the place in a panic.
Dong Jin grabbed a Nirvana Realm warrior and said angrily, "What's wrong?"
"There are demonic beasts!" That person's face was filled with fear. "There are at least ten of them, and there might be Level Eight Monstrous Beasts among them. Those Monstrous Beasts are rushing towards the Patriarch's direction. Along the way, their auras are extremely terrifying." This person quickly explained the situation, and then immediately said with a face full of fear, "Should we go back? Why don't we leave now? Something doesn't feel right. "
"Bastard, if we leave now, all our efforts will be in vain!" Dong Jin slapped him across the face and shouted, "All of you, follow me back!"
Shen Lin didn't say anything. After thinking for a while, he and Dong Jin headed towards the Yang family's gathering place.
Roar! Roar Roar Roar Roar!
The crazy roars of demonic beasts seemed to be coming from all directions, surrounding the gathering place of the Yang family.
The Yangs who were staying there paled when they heard the roars of the demonic beasts. They gritted their teeth and waited.
"Where's the Patriarch? Where did he go? " Shen Lin and Dong Jin rushed back. As they found that nothing big had happened, they exhaled in relief. Then, they asked about Yang Tian Emperor's whereabouts.
"I don't know. The Patriarch said that he wanted to hunt the demonic beasts. He hasn't returned yet," answered a direct descendant of the Yang family.
"Really, why did he want to hunt the demonic beasts at this time? It's not the Endless Sea …" Dong Jin mumbled, his face grimaced.
Many direct descendants of the Yang family heard Dong Jin's mumble. They all put on a ferocious countenance, as flames of indignation sparkled in their eyes.
"Dong Jin, you're not qualified to judge our Patriarch's conduct!" Yang Zhuo suddenly walked out, throwing him a cold glance. His face was grimaced. He didn't expect that someone in the Yang family dared to question Yang Tian Emperor's conduct.
The corner of Dong Jin's mouth twitched. He darkened his face as he wanted to mock him.
However, at this moment, Shi Yan came out of nowhere. His eyes were as cold as a saber, gazing at Dong Jin with a murderous aura.
Dong Jin discolored. He suddenly remembered that man's attitude towards Shi Yan. He felt a chill running down his spine, forcing him to swallow the words he wanted to say.
Shi Yan cracked a smile, but he didn't kill him.
"The Patriarch is back! The Patriarch is back! "The guards around suddenly shouted.
Not long after his voice faded, Yang Tian Emperor appeared, his chest covered in blood. He looked a little distressed.
By the lake, all the warriors of the Yang family and those who had submitted to the Yang family felt a chill in their hearts when they saw him. Their faces changed.
In people's hearts, Yang Tian Emperor was no doubt an extremely powerful warrior. He had the Second Sky of Spirit Realm cultivation base, and he had the competence to challenge warriors at a higher realm. Even in the Divine Great Land, he had a place.
Such a real hotshot was wounded, and he looked distressed. What kind of danger had he encountered?
Everybody's heart sank to the bottom.
"The situation's not good." Yang Tian Emperor's face paled, as he was unprecedentedly solemn. "Two level 8 beasts are coming. I'm hurt now. In one hour max, those two beasts will come."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone turned pale, and they were suffused with deep despair.
"Besides the two level 8 beasts, there are some level 7 beasts, and almost one hundred level 6 and 5 beasts. They are under the command of the two level 8 beasts." Yang Tian Emperor didn't hesitate. He said quickly like a chain of firecrackers. "We can't scatter. Otherwise, we'll have more casualties. I'll stay and see if I can stop them. I'll give more people a chance to survive."
Yang Tian Emperor was begrudging, his eyes gloomy. He raised his arms and shouted. "Today, perhaps the Yang family will perish. I, Yang Tian Emperor, am useless. I can't give you a better future. I'm sorry. Now, I can only try my best to save more people. I will stay. All the direct descendants of the Yang family will stay to protect you for a while. I hope most of you can survive. "
"Patriarch, we'll go with you!"
"Where you are, we'll be there! We will never leave you! "
"We won't let the Patriarch bear all of this for us!"
A part of the warriors who had submitted to the Yang family blushed when they heard him. They roared, not afraid of death.
However, more people chose to keep silent. Some of them paled, their eyes sparkling. They were trying to make a tough decision.
Shen Lin and Dong Jin were startled. They weren't sure if it was Yang Tian Emperor's plan or not. They frowned, waiting to see what would happen.
ROAR!
A terrifying roar came from a far distance like the sea of clouds, bringing with it a thick murderous aura.
The sound of the ancient trees being smashed arose unceasingly from a far distance. A flow of intimidating aura was approaching them.
Despair appeared on many people's faces, but some of them made up their minds. Many of them looked at Shen Lin and Dong Jin anxiously, silently urging them to act.
Shen Lin and Dong Jin exchanged looks. They could see the fear in each other's eyes. They had been hesitating for a long time, but now they had made up their minds.
"Patriarch, we'll take some of them away. After we send the low-level warriors out, we'll come back to help you!" Shen Lin took a step forward. He even forgot his usual etiquette and pretended to be sincere as he said, "Please take care of yourself, Patriarch. We will definitely not let you down. We will protect the family's elites!"
No matter how hard he tried to cover it, leaving in this situation was a betrayal of the Yang family. Everybody here had bright eyes. They knew that what he had said was bullsh * t. He was just trying to find an excuse for his fear of death.
"Shen Lin, you old dog!" Ling Ming of the Five Yakshas thundered indignantly. "You were abandoned by your family. You were hurt badly and had to hide from the beasts. Who had saved you? Who had risked his wounds to rescue you from the beasts' mouths?! I didn't expect that you would drag out an ignoble existence at this moment. You're a shameless ungrateful man! "
"I'm thinking for the Yang family. I want to fulfill our Patriarch's wish!" Shen Lin discolored, his face dark and sinister.
"Haha!" Ling Ming laughed, shaking his head and mocking him. "Who doesn't know what you're thinking?"
Shen Lin was enraged out of shame. However, right at this moment, he heard another beast roar. His pupils shrank. He didn't care about Ling Ming anymore. He clasped his fist to greet Yang Tian Emperor. Then, he shouted, "Follow me. We have to live well for our Master!"
After that, he and Dong Jin took the lead, flying towards the area of the seven ancient factions in the Perpetual Night Forest.
Many of the cultivators who had pledged allegiance to the Yang Family lowered their heads when they heard this, not daring to look at the Yang Family members. They first avoided them for a while before quickly flying away.
Ling Ming and the Yang family's warriors coldly watched them leave. Their faces grimaced.
It was out of everyone's expectation that more than half of the warriors chose to leave with Shen Lin. Two-thirds of them chose to leave!
There were around one thousand and five hundred warriors who had submitted to the Yang family. At this moment, more than one thousand of them chose to leave, and less than five hundred stayed with red eyes.
Although Yang Tian Emperor had prepared for this, seeing such a big contrast, he didn't feel good. He shook his head with a bitter face.
He thought that at least half of them would choose to stay. Who could have guessed that it would be like this?
"We have to clean this malignant tumor. Great Grandpa, you don't need to be sad. I think one day, they will know how wrong they are with their decision today." Shi Yan also grimaced. He gritted his teeth and said coldly.
