“Look at them.” You Ya said as she pointed to the sky. “Phoenix and dragon are indeed mythical beasts, but they are not included in the four main virtues. The four main virtues include the black tortoise in the north, the vermilion bird in the south, the white tiger in the west, the azure dragon in the east, and the golden dragon in the center. In front of us is the vermilion bird–not just one, but dozens. We all know that there is one black tortoise by Ling Yun’s side, and the golden dragon has shown itself several times to us, so only the white tiger and the azure dragon have yet to appear.”

Regrettably, You Ya was mistaken, particularly considering that one of the white tigers had already surfaced. However, he skillfully concealed himself in the Holy Land of Sword, ensuring his safety from discovery. As for the azure dragons, they still live in their hidden realm, waiting for the right time to come out of hiding.

Yin Shu then asked Yao Ya. “Are you thinking about the second beast war?”

“Yes.” Yao Ya nodded at Yin Shu. The four evil mythical beasts had defeated them in the past, forcing them into hiding to preserve their race. Before they went into hiding, the golden dragon king swore that they would attack Hundun and the others to avenge their defeat one day, and he said that the second beast war would soon take place after the reappearance of the four virtue mythical beasts. Currently, two of the four have appeared, so I think the second beast war will happen soon. Unfortunately, I don’t have Jia Yuyan’s ability, so I don’t know exactly when it will happen, and we can only find out by asking him directly.”

“Forget it.” Ru Xiao suddenly said to them. “Rather than thinking about the second war, it would be better to focus on stopping Zhu Ling and Jing Shen first, and we should move faster to clear the beasts on this floor. After all, their strength had increased, and the number of participants who would soon arrive would undoubtedly decrease drastically, especially since not all of them could fight these beasts. That way, those two will have a difficult time cleaning up each floor, allowing us to buy more time.”

Zu Jiren nodded in agreement and led them. “Let’s go! “We must use our full strength to clean up these beasts so we can go to the upper floors as soon as possible.”

The people from the Holy Land of Swords also continued to fight with those beasts, led by Ning Hao, the second young master of the Ning Clan.

Ning Hao, in a unique way, fought casually, moving quickly as if he were teleporting, while several white iron fans spun around him, inflicting injuries on any approaching beasts. ‘My big brother should be on the upper floors now, so I have to catch up with him as quickly as possible and surpass him, or our parents will continue to put me in his shadow.’

Yun Fei, Wan Xiaotang, Yin Yao, and Ji Ruxi also moved swiftly to kill all the beasts that kept coming towards them, but they were also quite overwhelmed to deal with them, especially since those beasts were trying to escape from the attacks of the beast cultivators.

*Bam… Bam…*

“Damn it! Those mythical beasts are really a pain in the ass.” Yun Fei cursed as he continued to swing his weapons, which were in the form of two large hammers. “I don’t understand why they are in such a hurry, but their actions are really troublesome, and we don’t even have time to pick up these item drops!”

*Thrust… Thrust…*

“Haha!” Wan Xiaotang laughed as he used his trident to attack every beast that came his way. “Honestly, I find it quite fun to fight this many beasts at once, especially since we can’t kill them with one attack.”

*Bam… Bam…*

Unlike them, Ji Ruxi used her soul techniques to control several powerful beasts at once, ensuring she wasn’t overwhelmed enough to face them, especially since she didn’t have to fight them directly. Instead, those beasts attacked their own kin for her. “Hey, Yin Yao! Do you think Senior Tianshi has already passed the tenth floor?”

*Slash… Slash…*

“Senior Tianshi might have already reached the 20th floor, especially if she uses her true strength.” As Yin Yao danced amidst the swarming beasts, her hands continued to swing two white swords that bore a striking resemblance to Wang Tianshi’s. Moreover, both of her swords were extremely sharp, making the beasts’ bodies look so soft that they were like tofu. “However, I’m not sure that she would do that, especially since her special technique would drain her qi from such a large number of beasts.”

Ji Ruxi nodded in understanding before asking Yin Yao again. “Didn’t she teach you her special technique? What if you used it now? That way, we can kill these beasts faster and get to the second floor sooner.”

“Hmm?” Yin Yao turned to Ji Ruxi with a raised eyebrow, but she immediately agreed with that. “Honestly, I haven’t fully mastered the technique, so my power won’t be as great as Senior Tianshi’s, but it might be enough to clear these beasts faster than we expected.”

“Use it then.”

“All right.” After biting her finger and smearing her blood on both swords, Yin Yao crossed them in front of her chest. Her mouth uttered an unknown language, enveloping her body in a black aura and causing a drastic drop in temperature on the first floor. “Sword manifestation! Sword demon!”

Soon, a giant figure with a black body and wearing a black mask appeared behind Yin Yao, and the figure’s body was much larger than that of those several beast cultivators. Additionally, the figure held a long sword in his hand, which instantly moved in response to her command.

The people from the Holy Land of Sword who were around Yin Yao immediately retreated as far as possible, especially since they knew that the figure she summoned would attack blindly, so they didn’t want to be hit by its attacks.

“Holy crap! Why did you suddenly use that technique, Yin?” Yun Fei, who was in the distance, asked in a high voice.

However, with her mind fused with her summon and all her senses blocked, Yin Yao did not respond to Yun Fei’s question. The figure had already started to slash its long sword, sweeping a large area around it, and it killed dozens of beasts in one slash.

“It’s no use for you to ask him now, Fei.” As she watched Yin Yao’s movements, Wan Xiaotang answered Yun Fei. “I once witnessed Senior Tianshi use that technique, which completely isolated her senses from the outside world upon activation. Currently, Yao is also in such a state, and her mind is also fused with her summon, so she will not respond to you. However, this is good for us, especially since her summon’s attack is so wide and powerful.”

“All right, you guys focus on these beasts.” Ning Hao abruptly spoke as he positioned himself between the two men, swiftly taking out additional white iron fans and tossing them into the air. All the white iron fans surrounding him merged into one, and they moved towards those beasts as they spun rapidly.

*Swoosh… Swosh…*

Seeing Ning Hao’s action, the two men also decided to use their special abilities. Yun Fei combined his two hammers into one, which immediately enlarged in size. He even needed to use his Qi to control the hammer due to its large size. He repeatedly hammered at those beasts, causing the area around them to shake again and again.

On the other hand, two wings appeared on Wan Xiaotang’s back before flying into the air, and she circled around her group’s area as she rained attacks down on those beasts. However, he refrained from approaching the area under the control of Long Feng, Zhu Hong, Qi Jingyi, and Qi Lin.

*Boom… Boom…*

.

.

.

Unlike them, Ling Xi’s group was luckier than those on the first floor, and they were able to pass through those beasts’ obstacles more smoothly because of the strength of the beasts on the fifth floor, which are only in the emperor realms.

Moreover, Wang Tianshi and the others had already started clearing them out two days ago, so the number of remaining beasts was not as many as when they had just arrived on the floor.

After all the beasts on that floor disappeared, Wang Tianshi immediately led them to the sixth floor, but they did not rest and moved to clean up the beasts on that floor directly.

.

.

.

Unlike when they cleared the beasts on the lower floors, Ling Yun and his group had quite a hard time clearing the beasts on the 21st floor, especially since their strength was at the venerate realm from the lower to peak level and their numbers were numerous, which was intentionally increased by Huang Lingzhu.

Even so, they had no other choice but to fight, and they all used their full strength to kill those beasts.

Zhou Yu wanted to help them, but she remembered Huang Lingzhu’s warning that she would kick her out of the tower if she did that, so she could only surrender and move to pick up those item drops, especially since the others were helping Ling Yun.
