“Brother Lin, please accept it.”

“Besides, I’m afraid I have no better way to repay you,”

Wei Zhengqing also nodded and said:

“Brother Lin, you should accept it. Since Ning Yue said so, there must be no problem.”

“All right…”

Lin Jing replied.

In the following two days, Wei Zhengqing used his connections to contact a merchant’s caravan, planning to leave with the caravan in a few days.

After all, with the chaos caused by the demonic beasts outside, they feared they wouldn’t be able to make it out on their own.

Everything had been prepared.

But that day…

The outer defensive formation’s personnel sent a message: the beast tide had attacked unexpectedly and they needed urgent reinforcements.

Upon receiving the news, the Fang Market urgently dispatched more people to the outer defensive formation.

However, just one day had passed.

Chaos erupted within the Fang Market as a group of demonic beasts suddenly appeared at the edge of the market. Those living on the outskirts of the Outer Fang Market were running non-stop toward the inside of the market.

Meanwhile, screams could be heard continuously:

“It’s bad, the defensive formation has been breached, the demonic beasts have all come in!”

“Everyone, quickly head to the Inner Fang Market, there’s a formation there that can block the demonic beasts.”

A crowd of people were in disarray, running towards the Inner Fang Market.

Upon hearing the commotion, Lin Jing immediately went out to check the situation.

Also coming out were Ning Yue, Wei Zhengqing, and Yan Xiong, the three of them.

Wei Zhengqing’s brow furrowed deeply as he watched the approaching horde of demonic beasts.

Lin Jing did the same, observing carefully.

He had not expected this beast tide to be so fierce that the defense formation would be broken in just one day.

As more and more demonic beasts appeared, Wei Zhengqing spoke up right away.

“There are too many demonic beasts, let’s go, we’ll also head to the Inner Fang Market.”

They all nodded, and then Yan Xiong led the way, with the others following behind; Ning Yue picked up Luo Luo, whose little face had turned pale from fright.

However, just as they were about to head to the Inner Fang Market, a huge light screen rose up.

The formation of the Inner Fang Market was activated.

It directly blocked the people from the Outer Fang Market on the outside. ‘Quickly open the formation, let us in, the demonic beasts are coming!”

“Open the formation, let us in!”

“Hurry up…!!!

As the demonic beasts closed in on the crowd, people began to panic.

“Hurry, do you want to kill us all?”

“I beg of you, open the formation quickly.”

However, no matter how they pleaded, it was all in vain.

As the horde of demonic beasts charged towards them, getting closer and closer, some people couldn’t hold back anymore.

“These people from the Inner Fang Market want to kill us, let’s quickly attack the formation and open a breach.”

However, hardly anyone listened to him; most people knew that this formation could defend against attacks from Golden Core Cultivators, and for them, trying to open a gap was nothing but a pipe dream.

The people panicked, scattering in all directions, trying to flee from the demonic beasts.

The speed of the demonic beasts was fast, especially the few at the Foundation Establishment Stage, which were charging at the forefront.

The cultivators who were slow to run were slapped into a pulp with a single paw.

Seeing this, many cultivators quickly took to their swords and flew up, trying to bypass the Inner Fang Market and flee elsewhere.

As for those cultivators who hadn’t reached the middle phase of Qi Refinement, they were in for a miserable time. Unable to fly on their swords, they wished they had an extra pair of legs to speed their escape from this place.

Of course, there were some cultivators who, knowing they couldn’t outrun the Demonic Beasts, quickly found a place to hide.

Some of the clever ones would even use Invisibility Talismans, sticking them on their bodies while also concealing their aura.

Some of these people managed to survive.

Of course, many more were unfortunate enough to be discovered by Demonic Beasts and became the beasts’ snacks on the spot.

As for those cultivators who took to the sky on their swords, their situation wasn’t necessarily any better.

Among the Demonic Beasts, there were also those capable of flight, some of which were raptors, whose speed in the air was many times faster than those on the ground.

In the sky, a Qi Refinement period cultivator was rapidly fleeing on his sword.

But suddenly, he was ambushed by a streak of black light. Before he could discern what it was, he lost consciousness and plummeted to the ground.

With a “thud,” he fell to the ground, and from his mutilated body, one could see his chest was hollowed out, his heart had been gouged out.

A few individuals not far from him, upon witnessing this scene, were scared into breaking out in a cold sweat, turning their heads to look.

They saw the black light circling in the air, its gaze sharp, closely watching these few people.

This was unexpectedly a Black Kite.

The Black Kite was no ordinary Demonic Beast—it was the sovereign of the skies.

Although it wasn’t large, about the size of a pigeon, its speed was incredibly fast. As a Foundation Establishment stage Demonic Beast, it could match the speed of a Golden Core Cultivator.

Moreover, its beak was extremely hard and sharp, making it the perfect material for crafting offensive magical artifacts. Ordinary defensive magical artifacts simply couldn’t withstand it.

Seeing the Black Kite, those few people hurriedly descended to the ground, not daring to linger in the air.

That’s because Black Kites usually didn’t attack prey on the ground, instead, in the air, escape from their pursuit was virtually impossible.

At this moment, Lin Jing and others also witnessed the scene of the Demonic Beasts’ slaughter, their faces turning ugly.

“Now that we can’t get into the Inner Fang Market, why don’t we just cut our way out from some other place?” Yan Xiong suggested.

“No way, with so many Demonic Beasts, it’s just not possible.” Ning Yue looked at the chaotic crowd and the raging Demonic Beasts, her brows furrowed tightly.

“Then what do we do? Think of something quick, the Demonic Beasts are already charging this way.” Yan Xiong was also getting anxious at this point.

At that moment, several Foundation Establishment stage Demonic Beasts took the lead and were charging towards them.

“Brother Wei.’ “Elder Yan.”

“Fellow Ning. ”

“Come over to me quickly, I have a way.”

Turning their heads, the three saw Lin Jing’s steadfast gaze and, without hesitation, immediately moved to Lin Jing’s side.

Lin Jing pulled out an Array Plate from his Storage Bag and then embedded five Spirit Stones into the grooves of the Array Plate.

Next, a light barrier rose up, enveloping the group, then slowly expanded to cover half of Lin Jing’s courtyard before it finally stopped.

“Defensive Array Plate!”

Yan Xiong exclaimed excitedly,

“Lin brother, when did you get this amazing item.”

“Someone lent it to me. I didn’t expect it would come in handy just now,” Lin Jing said.

That Defensive Array Plate had been lent to Lin Jing by Elder Yu because of the previous beast tide.

However, the beast tide had yet to start when it was wiped out by the Golden Core Cultivators who had entered the Night Mist Mountain Range.

Lin Jing had thought about returning the Array Plate to Elder Yu.

But with the recent busyness, he hadn’t had the chance to go, and now, it had serendipitously become useful at this critical moment.

Luckily, he hadn’t returned it, or else he would have been doomed today.

“How effective is this Array Plate?”

Wei Zhengqing was still somewhat worried. After all, there were several Foundation Establishment stage Demonic Beasts outside. If the defense was inadequate, they might all end up as Demonic Beast fodder.

“Don’t worry, Brother Wei.”

The defensive capability of the formation within this Array Plate was extraordinary. As long as it wasn’t an attack strength exceeding the Golden Core stage, it could withstand it.

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhengqing also breathed a sigh of relief..
