——(POV third person, the eastern walls)——

As the situation was getting out of hand Li Huang tried to stop Cai ZhenKang. He could see that Cai ZhenKang was acting weird.

"What is wrong with you? Calm down a little.

" Li Huang told him as he stopped him from barging toward the wall to see Kong Zexi.

Cai ZhenKang didn't think that others would take him this seriously and try to stop him so he was lost for words as he didn't know what to say.

"*ahem* It is nothing, I just need to see Kong Zexi.

" Cai ZhenKang said and explained in a very civilized manner.

Li Huang was stunned by this reaction. What he didn't know was that Cai ZhenKang saw Hu Anjing behind him and remembered that he is not the big guy here so he changed his approach.

Li Huang wanted to say something but the projection at the center of the fort, above the keep, turned red and he didn't care about this matter anymore.

"It is the southern outer wall, let's go.

" Li Huang said as he looked at the same five who came with him to fight the gargantuan beasts.

"Others follow the same plan as before…

" Li Huang told others as they really didn't have much time.

They didn't have time because a wall was breached. The southern outer wall where He Junli and her fellow disciples were guarding the walls.

——(POV third person, the southern wall, minutes ago)——

"Why has the wall's support decreased in this past hour?

" Zheng Jingyi, the chief disciple of the Sky Pillar sect asked his teammates.

"I don't know senior brother. All I can say is that they have been taking their time, there might be a problem on their part…

" His second in command answered him. They had multiple communications with the disciples on the wall and they told them that this was all they could do in this situation and refrained from explaining it anymore.

"What if we ask other fronts for reinforcement?

" One other disciple asked. It was common these days for them to get reinforcement from other sides of the fort when there was a dire need.

"We can't. Other sides have big problems like us, I am surprised that the eastern wall didn't need any reinforcement when those big beasts appeared.

" Zheng Jingyi said as he too saw in the projection that some big beasts appeared on the eastern wall side. He even contacted the wall to see if they need help as those beasts looked hard to handle but there wasn't any need for reinforcement as they said and a few seconds ago, they have finished all those beasts.

"Than what is the plan senior brother?

" His second in command asked him as the horde was pushing them back every minute and they would have their backs to the wall soon enough.

"We don't have much of a plan, we will fight with all we have because we can't just let this wall be captured.

" Zheng Jingyi told his teammates with a smile. They had to do what they had to do until they could get some reinforcement.

~'This is Zheng Jingyi of the Sky Pillar sect.'~ Zheng Jingyi sent a sound transmission to the wall.

~'This is Yuan Yunyu of the White Moon sect, what can I do for you?'~ Yuan Yunyu said. She was the one in charge of the communication on their side of the wall.

~'Give the communication device to your superior.'~ Zheng Jingyi didn't want to talk to someone who doesn't have enough authority to do what he wanted.

~'I'm afraid that is not possible right now.'~ Yuan Yunyu said as her superior, He Junli was resting at the moment.

Zheng Jingyi didn't like that this Yuan Yunyu was talking back to him instead of doing what he was asked. He wasn't playing on the field, he was fighting a beast horde and this girl had the audacity to go back and forth with him.

~'And why is that?'~ Zheng Jingyi asked as calmly as he could.

~'Senior sister is resting right now so if you have anything to say, you have to say it to me.'~ Yuan Yunyu thought it was only natural for her senior sister to be resting so she didn't hide it.

Zheng Jingyi didn't answer as he thought this might be some sort of a tasteless joke but the other side didn't add any further explanation. This lead him to the conclusion that Yuan Yunyu meant what she said.

~'She is resting when we are showering in blood and gore?'~ Zheng Jingyi tried his best to stay calm but the fact that he was smashing the beasts into a pulp gave his true feelings away to his teammates.

~'I do not understand what you mean by that.'~ Yuan Yunyu said. She didn't know what relation there was between what her senior sister was doing and what this Zheng Jingyi was doing.

~'Pray that I die here, or else I will show you what I mean.'~ Zheng Jingyi said and crush the communication device in his hand. He couldn't believe that the white moon sect could act this brazen. They were in a difficult situation and had to do whatever they can until this horde is dealt with and Zheng Jingyi can talk some sense to the white moon sect disciples.

"Brothers and sisters, don't hold back on any resources, we have to finish these beasts ourselves.

" Zheng Jingyi shouted so that everyone on the battlefield could hear him.

With a battle cry, everyone charged forward to stop the beasts from making any more advances.

…

"Fall back, fall back!

" Zheng Jingyi kept shouting. They started strong but after a few minutes with the addition of a very fast beast to the horde they got overwhelmed fast and they had to retreat toward the walls. But that too wasn't enough as the beasts wouldn't stop and the support from the walls could only stop the beasts momentarily.

It all went downhill when the wall stopped supporting them as they had to fall back to the inner wall themselves. This was under He Junli's order when she woke up from her sleep when the fight reached the wall and her noise cancellation formation couldn't keep all the sounds out. The way she saw it, this fight was a lost cause so she ordered her team to fall back to the inner wall as this wall would be breached any moment now.

After the support from the wall was completely gone, it didn't take long for a part of the wall to crumble under the constant assault of the beasts.

Zheng Jingyi could see that death was really near but he wouldn't go down without a fight and that was what he did, fight.

"If we are going to go down here, let's take as many beasts as we can with us!

" Zheng Jingyi shouted again and got ready for their last stance.

——(POV third person, the southern inner walls)——

"Will this be okay, senior sister?

" Yuan Yunyu asked her senior sister as she looked toward the outer walls. She was worried that they get in trouble because they left the wall defenseless.

"Yes. They can fall back too so it is not like we left them to die there.

" He Junli said.

"That aside, anyone who is important will have some life-saving treasures so it is not like something can happen.

" He Junli further explained as she was sure that other than second grade disciples, all the geniuses had these sort of treasures with them.
