Looking at the distant Prison Ox, Ya Zhi and Jiao Tu, as well as the Fire Phoenix Pearl that could shatter the world barrier and disappear with a jolt in the void, all of them disappeared. Yun Shu, Le Consonance, and Plum Blossom were all in disbelief. From the time the Fire Phoenix Pearl appeared to the time it left, less than a quarter of an hour had passed. Originally, the three had thought that they would be unable to resolve this predicament, and even when the female emperor had requested that these dragons continue to guard this small world, they did not complain at all.

Although the three of them knew that the Founding Woman Emperor had an unparalleled cultivation base, it was just a projection containing a sliver of her spiritual consciousness that had just arrived. She couldn't even be considered a clone. Moreover, this projection hadn't even been unleashed yet and it had already intimidated the three Earth Class strange beasts into not daring to make the slightest movement.

Although the female emperor had given them three Cyan Feather Mysterious Spirit Pills as compensation in the end, these prideful and arrogant sons of dragons were not that easy to deal with. However, to their surprise, the three beasts took the pill and left. It was apparent that they had agreed to the female Emperor's conditions.

People like Yun Shu and Ye Yin had all grown up listening to the story of the female emperor who founded the country. As women, they treated Yu Wangshu as the pride and target of their women. Even though it was only a projection of the female Emperor's divine sense, they could still clearly feel the domineering aura that caused fear in the onlookers. As strange beasts of Earth Class, they could only be submissive in front of her and didn't dare to be disrespectful in the slightest. Both of them felt their blood boil. They could not help but feel that life was like the heaven and earth.

"It's over just like that?" After a long while, Mei Changju could not help but ask in disbelief. As the Guardian of the Imperial City, although he knew that the cultivation of the female Emperor was shocking, he didn't expect that things would be resolved so easily.

"As expected of the unarmed Emperor Taizu." Her ancestor, Yun Yi Xing, started his country following the female emperor during the Blood War, so naturally, there were many records of the Emperor at home. Although she used to admire the female Emperor Yu Wei, who was able to use her body to ascend the throne to become emperor, she had only watched the other stories of the female emperor as legends.

Now that she saw him today, she knew that there really was such a stunning woman in the world. That peerless charm and the imposing aura of a mighty emperor were both enough to make one's heart fall. It was no wonder that so many outstanding talents had fallen under her command and taken her as their master. Yun Shu's Dao heart, which had originally entered the Human Realm and had become hopeless after breaking through to the Sheng Domain due to her own talent, began to waver. She even felt the shackles of her own cultivation realm loosen a little.

"So what do we do now? Those students are still battling the beast tide, shouldn't we take action now? " Mei Laoju suppressed the shock in his heart and released his spiritual sense to observe the remaining students. When he realized that they were engaged in a bloody battle with the horde of beasts, he spoke with some anxiety. He was born in the Humble Class, and out of the remaining ten students, four of them were from the Humble Class, and Lu Que was not considered an outsider to the Humble Class. After all, his father, Lu Chun, was the leader of the Humble Class back then.

But after waiting for a long time, he still didn't get a reply. He turned to look at the two of them and found that the music leaf was gently caressing the strings of his zither, he didn't know what to think. When Mei Chang saw the two of them, although he was anxious, he did not speak again.

Amongst the royal family's reverends, although Yun Shu was the leader in the rankings, she was the strongest in terms of cultivation. This was the reason why her zither music could temporarily stun the enemy. However, Yun Shu took the first place because her nature was pure and she was only interested in music. No matter if it was the cultivation base or the ranking of the reverends, they were both lower than the two of them. Since the two of them did not speak, he could only worry.

"Let's go." After a while, Master Le spoke up. She had been wondering if she should follow the steps of her ancestors and leave this place. As the empress had said, her heart was already full, so there was no point in staying in this place anymore. At this moment, she had already made up her mind. As such, she was no longer interested in the chief competition that was like a joke in her eyes.

Furthermore, the Lu Que that she had been paying attention to had also received the help of the wolf king who had just broken through to the Xuan level. Now, these ten students, together with the wolf pack, had a fifty percent chance of defeating the beasts in the forest.

"There are still eight days until the fifteen day time limit. Now that all the remaining people are gathered together, with the help of the wolf pack, if they can't even pass this stage, then they aren't worthy of being chief. The final few days will depend on them. Since the guards of the strange beasts have agreed to continue to guard this place, then let's go and take a look at the Great Illusory Heart Array Formation. " Yun Shu looked in the direction of the valley and used her Divine Sense to check. She could feel that a few people were severely injured and their vital energy and blood were a little sluggish. However, it was not enough for her to save them.

"Alright then." Mei Changju nodded his head in dissatisfaction. In his spiritual sense, he could tell that Meng Cang and Li Zhong, who had already been injured before, were now injured even more severely. Their vital energy and blood were extremely unstable. Similarly to the two of them was Yun Xian, who had yet to recover from his injuries. However, since Yun Shu had already said so, he could only nod his head in agreement.

Just as the three of them turned around to leave to search for the Illusory Heart Array Formation, Lu Que and the rest who were in the valley fell into a bitter battle.

Aside from Lu Que and Zhuge Yan, the rest of the ten had injuries of varying degrees. It was only because of the Wolf King's rescue that they had been provoked into fighting against the horde of beasts. However, there were simply too many beasts in the jungle. Without their control, these beasts had instinctively used this valley as their hunting ground. Therefore, even with the help of the wolf pack, they were still overwhelmed by the seemingly endless horde of beasts.

Because of Yun Xing Si's help, Meng Cang and Li Zhong had been heavily injured after killing the few yellow-rank beasts that were chasing after them. After a period of fighting, the wounds that they did not manage to heal in time were now all broken, and their hunting gear was completely stained with their own blood.

With the loss of blood, Meng Cang and Li Lang both felt that the heavy weight of the axe and the twin pointed spears that they normally ignored. Their body's reaction and the speed at which they attacked were a lot slower than before; if Lu Que hadn't come rushing over to kill the giant bear, they would have been sent flying by that furious giant bear. Knowing that they were in a bad state, the two no longer took the initiative to attack those ferocious beasts. Instead, they retreated back into the pack of wolves.

He had already been severely injured, but he was only able to recover seventy percent of his strength. After a period of intense fighting, he was gasping for breath while leaning on his spear, a look of exhaustion flashing across his face as he watched the pack of wolves.

Meanwhile, Duanmu Ye, Zhuge Yan, Lin Qingyu, Bai Qing Guang, and Zhi Xing had already returned to Su Duo's side. The tendons on Su Duo's feet were injured, and the six of them formed the most commonly used little hexagonal formation in Da Gan Army. But when they looked carefully, the weapons in their hands were trembling, and their faces were full of fatigue.

At this moment, half of the valley was soaked in blood, and the river below the waterfall had turned blood-red. It was unknown just how many wild beasts had perished here, and the Snow Mountain Wolves under the command of the Wolf King had suffered even more severe injuries. Giant injured wolves were constantly retreating from the battlefield, and the mountain wolves and wild wolves in the midst of the beasts were frantically attacking the other animals around them.

As time passed, the stench of blood in the valley became heavier and heavier. The beasts and wolves had all turned red from killing, and the howls and screams of beasts could be heard constantly. The entire valley was like a huge killing field, and if he did not want to die, he could only kill the enemies.

"Roar ~ ~" A loud roar came from behind the pack of beasts. A huge golden bear the size of a small mountain charged towards the Wolf King. It was unknown how many fierce beasts it had knocked off along the way.

"Aowu ~" The White Wolf King leaped onto a huge rock and howled towards the sky. Its eyes were fixated on the gigantic body of the bear and at this moment, its eyes were no longer as agile as Lu Que had seen them. Its eyes were filled with killing intent, a crazy killing intent was emitted from the White Wolf King's body.

It was obvious that because of the loss of the wolf pack, this wolf was also truly angered and had begun to regain its wolf-like, murderous nature. Now that it had already entered the Xuan class, it wanted to kill this giant golden bear that dared to provoke it.

"Brother Wolf, you take over the command of the wolf pack. Leave this bear to me." Lu Que appeared beside the Wolf King, panting heavily as he spoke.

Lu Que was also quite tired. In order to reduce the losses of the wolves, he had killed large animals that would cause huge damage to them. Although he wasn't injured, he was still very tired.

Although this giant golden bear that was charging towards the Wolf King was not fully intelligent and could not be considered a beast yet, judging from its massive body and vigorous vital energy and blood, this giant golden bear's combat strength was definitely not inferior to a beast of yellow rank, perhaps even a little stronger.

The reason why they were able to endure in the beast tide for so long was because of the existence of the wolf pack, which needed the Wolf King to command them. Whether it was because of the Wolf King's desire to save them or because of his comrades' safety, Lu Que did not allow any harm to come to the Wolf King.

Hearing Lu Que's words, the White Wolf King's bloodthirsty eyes gradually regained its clarity. Lu Que could even see a hint of gratitude and a smile in its eyes. Seeing the Wolf King's appearance, Lu Que seemed to see the Imperial Spirit Beast, Little White, that he grew up with. A heroic spirit rose in Lu Que's heart.

He stretched out his hand to touch the wolf king's jaw and loudly said, "Brother Wolf, today we will fight side by side."

"Aowu ~" The Wolf King's eyes flashed and it howled towards the sky. Whether it was the snow mountain wolves, the prairie wolves, or the dark wolves in the mountain forests, they all joined the wolf pack one after another. Soon, a huge wolf formation took the shape of a crescent moon, blocking the front of the pack of beasts.

Seeing that there was still some distance between them and the giant golden bear, Lu Que quickly pulled Yun Xing Si, who was walking past him, and pointed at Meng Cang and Li Lang, who were pale as sheet. Then, he pointed at Zhuge Yan, who was panting heavily and sweating profusely, "Brother Yun, they are almost unable to hold on.

"What about you?" Yun Fang said as he wiped the sweat that was mixed with blood off his face.

"Their physical strength can't withstand the next wave of attacks from the beast tide. Don't worry about me, hurry up and bring them away." Lu Que said anxiously.

Due to the Wolf King's deterrence and the re-arrangement of the wolf pack, the wolf pack had returned to a stalemate. However, Lu Que knew that as long as the giant golden bear charged towards them from a few hundred meters away, the herd would lead the charge again. At that time, the injured and exhausted group would definitely not be able to withstand the next wave of beasts.

Yun Fang obviously knew this as well. He stared at Lu Que, feeling conflicted and hesitant. Although Lu Que had talent that far exceeded that of an ordinary person, he was still only at the second grade Blood Meridian. Looking at Lu Que now, he was only slightly better than him. Yun Xian could feel the weakness coming from his body. Lu Que, who was probably at a lower cultivation realm than him, was also reaching his limits.

However, Yun Xing Si, who knew Lu Que very well, knew that even though Lu Que was usually calm and aloof, with his personality, he definitely wouldn't let the White Wolf King and its pack of wolves carry the monster packs alone at this time. Seeing Lu Que in such a situation, even though his eyes were filled with anxiety, he felt no fear at all. Yun Fang couldn't help but think: could this be the reason why Gu Qingcheng chose him? Even in such a dire situation, he was still able to remain calm.

That kind of righteousness, that presence of millions of people, and the fact that even Yun Yanxing, who was a love rival, was secretly moved by it, but he was also a hot-blooded man. His Yun Family's ancestors were all heroes in the blood-soaked battlefields, and the word 'reigning in the Yun Mansion' had already explained everything.

"I'll stay with you." Yun Xian said word by word, his grip on the spear tightly.

"Brother Yun." Lu Que looked at the serious expression on Yun Fang Si's face and was startled. He then revealed a knowing smile. " "Then you tell Zhuge first, let him lead them back to the cave first. I will deal with this giant golden bear first."

"Be careful." Yun Xin wiped her right hand on her lapel and stretched it out in front of Lu Que.

"You be careful too." Lu Que's right hand, which was holding onto Cloudstrings, tightened and his legs kicked off from the boulder. Like a giant bird, he pounced towards the giant golden bear that was already not far away.

Yun Fang looked at Lu Que's back and clenched his fists. He knew that he would have to see if Lu Que could kill that mountain-like Golden Bear if he could block the wave of beasts. Seeing Lu Que's figure gradually getting closer to the giant golden bear, Yun Xing Si did not have the time to pay close attention to him. He pulled Meng Cang and Li Cheng, who were not far away, and ran in the direction of Zhuge Yan's group.

"Caution." While in the air, Lu Que looped the Dragon-coiled Bramble Spear around his waist and formed a Dao seal with his hands. This was the Heart Reflection Seal that was once used to deal with Ran Zhao.

"Soulshake." Following which, Lu Que's hand seals changed and another hand seal appeared in his hands.

The giant golden bear had just sent another mountain bear flying away, and it was about to find trouble with the Wolf King. It was the king of the giant bears in this forest, and although it hadn't gained its intelligence yet, its combat power was even greater than that of a beast of the yellow rank. Just as it was about to accelerate, its eyes glazed over. Then, its huge body shook, and a sharp pain appeared in its mind.

As the pain came, the giant bear began to roar, causing the valley to buzz. The giant bear's eyes became even more violent and bloodthirsty, scaring the surrounding beasts in the mountain forest. They all moved to the side, afraid of being hit by the giant's body.

"Emperor Wang, the Fire Emperor is in the middle of the afternoon, slashing through the thistles and thorns like the sun in the middle of the sky." Lu Que, who was still in the air, untied the Dragon-coiled Wood Thorny Spear at his waist and shouted loudly. Borrowing the force of his fall, he used the move 'Di Wang', the strongest attack of the Twelve Longevity Spear Arts.

"Roar!" Although the giant golden bear's head was in pain, it still saw Lu Que getting closer and closer to it. Roaring, it stood up and slammed its palm-leaf towards Lu Que.

"Look at your tough fur. It is also the Lu Family's inherited treasure spear that is invincible." Lu Que's eyes narrowed, but he was still in the air and was using all his strength to execute the strongest move he could muster. He had no time to adjust his stance, and could only ruthlessly thrust his palm at the bear's paw.

With a "pounce" sound, the Dragon Bramble Spear's all-conquering spearhead pierced straight into the giant golden bear's paw. At this moment, Lu Que felt a powerful force coming from the spear shaft, barely able to grab onto the jumping spear shaft and pull it back. However, his body was sent flying by the giant golden bear's mountain-shattering force.

Lu Que, who was in the air, felt pain everywhere on his body. His internal organs were trembling as a sweet and fishy smell gushed into his mouth. Although he was drawing the spear very quickly, the giant bear's strength was too great. The force that was transmitted into his body through the spear still sent him flying.

"Awoo ~" Just as Lu Que was about to hit the ground, a wolf howled beneath him. The White Wolf King's agile body leaped up into the air and caught up with Lu Que who was about to hit the ground. Just as the wolf and human made contact, their bodies shook violently.

"Brother Lang, are you alright?" Lu Que, who had landed on the ground, immediately looked towards the White Wolf King. He knew that if the White Wolf King had not caught him, his internal organs would have been severely injured by the time he landed on the ground. However, the fact that he was caught by the White Wolf King meant that most of the Golden Giant Bear's strength had been transferred into the White Wolf King's body.

"Wuu ~" The White Wolf King made a swallowing motion and shook its head. However, it was looking at Lu Que with a pleased smile in its eyes.

"I didn't expect this giant golden bear to be so powerful. It must have implicated Brother Lang." Lu Que knew that the White Wolf King would not feel well even if it was already a Xuan Rank Spiritual Beast. He gripped his spear tightly and looked at the berserk Golden Giant Bear.

At this moment, the giant golden bear was roaring and roaring, staring at Lu Que with its berserk, bloodthirsty eyes. Just now, Lu Que's spear had pierced through its front paw. However, this kind of injury was nothing compared to its huge body.

"Brother Wolf, leave it to me. Help me block the other beasts." Lu Que looked at the White Wolf King.

"Absolutely." Seeing the Wolf King nod, Lu Que once again dashed towards the Gold Colossal Bear. Just now, he had already tested the Giant Bear's strength to be unrivaled, so Lu Que was not stupid enough to go all out against it. Under the situation where the White Wolf King was clearing the field for him, he switched to his footwork to fight the Ten Styles of the Twelve Longevity Spears against the Gold Giant Bear.

One wound after another appeared on the giant golden bear's body. Each time, Lu Que narrowly avoided the giant bear's paws and jaws. The scene looked extremely thrilling. As long as Lu Que wasn't careful, he would be hit by the giant bear.

Just as the giant golden bear was about to stand up again due to the pain, Lu Que moved his feet and his body seemed to shake a few shadows. Six lumps of dazzling spear sparks appeared on the spearhead and in the blink of an eye, he stabbed three times each on the hind legs and knees of the giant golden bear.

"Die." Arriving at the giant bear's side, Lu Que spun the spear around twice at his waist and thrust it towards the giant bear's heart.
