My disciples are all villains.

Hua Chongyang and Bai Yuqing, one on the left and one on the right, continuously commanded the cultivators to fight. It could be seen that they were very experienced. The first group of low-level fierce beasts was all killed by the cultivators who were lined up in a row.

Hua Chongyang would occasionally unleash a huge energy sword to shoot down the larger fierce beasts. He stared at the Birth Chart Beast and the huge beast in the sky before he said, "Bai Yuqing, bring ten men with you to the right and wait for orders. Find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack."

"Understood."

Bai Yuqing brought ten people with him and flew to the right.

The flying beasts had strange appearances; they looked like a cross between the Xuans and gigantic owls. Their claws glinted sinisterly in the light. When they saw humans, they grew excited as though they had spotted the most delicious food in the world.

The huge beast was one of the fierce flying beasts that everyone was familiar with; the Birth Chart Beast was the Luan.

Lu Zhou speculated that the flying beasts must have built a nest in the depths of the Heavenly Moat, where the Black Water Mystic Cave was.

Buzz!

At this moment, Hua Chongyang manifested his avatar.

A 150-foot avatar without the golden lotus towered in the air.

Upon seeing this, the morale of the cultivators was greatly boosted. All of them manifest energy swords to cooperate with their leader to kill the fierce beasts in front of them.

"Birth Chart Beast! Everyone, be careful!"

Lu Zhou had wanted to attack immediately earlier. He was slightly surprised when he saw Hua Chongyang had sprouted nine leaves.

With his talent, Hua Chongyang would have been a top talent in the golden lotus domain in the past. It had been ten years. Based on Hua Chongyang's cultivation base, he should now be the interim Sect Master of the Nether Sect. He was also a prominent figure in Great Yan. Hence, he should not lack cultivation resources. It was reasonable that he had sprouted the ninth leaf.

Lu Zhou shifted his attention to Bai Yuqing; his Primal Qi's fluctuations were slightly weaker.

Swoosh!

All of a sudden, the huge beast in the sky to the left suddenly swooped down.

Hua Chongyang seemed to have expected this and brought his avatar up.

"Watch out for the Birth Chart Beast!"

Bang!

Hua Chongyang's avatar blocked the giant beast.

Upon seeing this, Bai Yuqing shouted, "Go!"

All the cultivators rushed out, launching energy swords and energy sabers.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Soon enough, the huge beast's body was riddled with wounds, and its feathers began to fall off.

"Seven leaves?" Lu Zhou frowned.

Back then, Bai Yuqing had already had seven leaves. It did not make sense that after so long, he still had seven leaves.

The cultivators' attacking rhythm was very good; they advanced and retreated in an orderly manner. They could always dodge the giant beast when it was struggling to avoid being swept away. At the same time, they would further attack the places where it was injured. It was clear they had done this many times in the past.

When the Birth Chart Beast saw the huge beast was about to die, it let out a screech and flapped its wings, stirring up a flurry of tornadoes.

Everyone retreated a few meters.

The Luan moved at lightning speed. It swept through a few cultivators.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Alas, the difference in strength was too great. Even if they were willing to obey Bai Yuqing's orders, they could only be swept away and injured by the Luan.

"Let me deal with..." Hua Chongyang rushed over with his avatar in tow.

The outcome of the battle was difficult to determine.

They were not experts like Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong; they were also only Nine-leaf cultivators. The difference was like heaven and earth.

After fighting for a while, Hua Chongyang saw that the situation was not optimistic so he said, "Retreat!"

"The Birth Chart Beast is too strong! We'll need to ask for help! I'll hold it off for now!" Hua Chongyang said.

Lu Zhou did not mean to waste so much time; he wanted to take the opportunity to see their strength and wait for Ye Tianxin to return.

Bai Yuqing nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go get help..."

Bai Yuqing flew back under the cover of the others. Seeing Lu Zhou and Conch standing there calmly, he could not help but ask, surprised, "Why are you still here?"

Lu Zhou shook his head. He was about to make a move when dozens of cultivators rushed over from afar.

"It's a Birth Chart Beast!"

"Everyone, get ready! It's a Birth Chart Beast!"

When the newcomers saw the Birth Chart Beast, greedy expressions appeared on their faces immediately.

Great Yan had long learned about the activation of Birth Charts. Taking advantage of the time when ten leaves were rising together, many new forces formed groups and searched everywhere for life hearts. In Great Yan, cultivators still fought crazily over the most basic life heart.

The Luan's appearance attracted the attention of more and more cultivators.

The leader of the newcomers hovered in the air and laughed. "It's the Nether Sect's Protector Hua and Protector Bai…"

Bai Yuqing frowned and said, "It's you guys again. This Birth Chart Beast is extraordinary. Now's not the time to fight for its life heart. We should work together to kill it."

"I agree. However, after killing it, I want the life heart," the leader of the newcomers said.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Luan flapped its wings and flew high into the sky.

Several cultivators were no match for it and had no choice but to retreat.

In the end, the Nine-leaf Hua Chongyang was still a little lacking. He was beaten until his blood and Qi surged.

"Protector Hua, we can't compete with you. We only ask for the life heart. You people from the Nether Sect have the support of the Evil Sky Pavilion so you have many elementary life hearts…" the leader continued to say, "Brother Bai, Brother Hua, if you don't agree, it'll be too late."

In the sky, the Luan suddenly swooped down again. Its sharp cry shook the ground, and its claws glinted menacingly. If Hua Chongyang was hit this time, he would be severely injured.

"It's too late!"

Hua Chongyang stood in the center of his avatar to protect himself.

All of the sudden, the fierce wind suddenly dissipated, and the sharp cry came to an abrupt stop.

Hua Chongyang, who had closed his eyes, only heard silence.

'I'm fine? What happened?'

Hua Chongyang opened his eyes and looked at the huge Luan in front of him. A dazzling golden energy sword that was 1,000 feet long had pierced through its' vital point and chest.

"Ding! Killed one target. Obtained an elementary life heart. Reward: 1,000 merit points."

"..."

The Luan died so easily?

Everyone's attention shifted to Lu Zhou, the owner of the energy sword.

Lu Zhou did not care about the reaction of those people. Instead, he looked indifferently at the huge flying beast that was flapping its wings violently. He withdrew his energy sword from the Luan's body and slashed it from the lower left side to the upper right side.

Swoosh!

Just like that, the huge beast was cleaved into two with a neat cut.

Boom!

The huge fell to the ground before dark red blood gushed out from two halves of its body. The pungent smell of blood stirred their nerves.

'This... Its death is even gorier than the Luan's…'

Lu Zhou had easily killed the Luan. After all, he was much stronger than the Luan. If he so pleased, he could have intentionally dragged the battle out and put on a magnificent fight before killing the Luan in an ostentatious manner. However, he found no thrills in doing that. It was much more satisfying to kill it with one strike.

Bai Yuqing and Hua Chongyang:"..."

The leader of the cultivators who had just arrived was even more dumbfounded.

After the giant beast and the Birth Chart Beast died, there were still many low-level fierce beasts left, but they were no longer a problem. Nevertheless, due to their sheer number, it would not be easy to kill them all at once.

Therefore, Lu Zhou called out, "Conch."

Conch understood her master's meaning. She tapped her toes lightly and flew into the air. The Nine String Zither hovered in front of her.

The Pilgrim Song resounded in the air, stirring up a red wind that blew all the fierce beasts away.
