Even if he could, there was nowhere to run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he simply waited-with his eyes closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground quaked beneath him. He heard a metallic shriek-the sound of the shelter's gate being ripped apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-We are dead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"God have mercy! Please protect us!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some screamed while others prayed.

Seconds passed. Then more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yiming's brows knit together. His breathing hitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, he opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grade-4 Demonic Beast that had been about to crush them was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No-not gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was there, but dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its massive body lay in front of the shelter's gate, its head twisted at an unnatural angle, eyes still wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast's horn had been driven straight into the earth, as though forced there by overwhelming strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yiming stared blankly, unable to process what he was seeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What... what happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He whispered, his voice cracking. He didn't dare be loud and attract another Demonic Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to the others huddled behind him-pale faces, trembling hands. Their faces were also full of confusion like they didn't know what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did anyone see what happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one answered for a long time. They only shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a faint, hesitant voice spoke up from the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I think... I saw someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yiming's gaze snapped toward the speaker-a young boy, bleeding from his knee, eyes dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yiming asked. \"You mean someone saved us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought I was seeing things... but before the beast died, I... I saw a shadow. Just for a heartbeat. Then the beast's head-it just... fell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yiming's eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Could it be... reinforcements?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cultivator strong enough to kill a Grade-4 beast in a single instant-that was at least Nascent Soul Realm, maybe even higher!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that was the case, it would make sense that a group of mortal and low-level cultivators couldn't see him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hope that fragile, flickering thing-began to burn again in his chest. \"Reinforcements,\" he breathed. \"The reinforcements must have arrived!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned toward the others, his voice trembling but louder now. \"We're saved!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some began to cry; others laughed weakly, unable to believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll go check,\" Gu Yiming said, gripping the wall for balance as he stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll make sure. If it's really reinforcements, we can bring the wounded out.\" Several men followed him-hesitant, but desperate to confirm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They pushed aside the shattered door and stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night air was thick with ash. The town they once knew was nearly gone- only burning houses and the remains of Demonic Beasts remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn! How powerful is the person who came to help us? He has already killed all the Demonic Beast in the vicinity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another spat weakly to the side, eyes darting around the ruined street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Killed all of them... just in a short period of time? I don't know any sect or clan that is capable of such a feat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, the clan or sect that he was talking about was those in close proximity who they think are the ones who were sent to help them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others exchanged uneasy looks. The street was littered with corpses- massive bodies of Demonic Beasts, each one slain cleanly, many with their heads severed in a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yiming stepped carefully between them, boots splashing through pools of blood. The metallic tang filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long trail of bodies stretched deeper into the street, like a crimson river leading into the heart of the burning town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew that the reinforcement must be at the end of this line of corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They moved cautiously, stepping over the carcasses of beasts that had once reduced their homes to rubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each step they took, the destruction grew worse-walls shredded by claws, stone cracked as though something massive had slammed into it, and blood\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>splattered across the ruins like paint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet... not a single beast still lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every last one was dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they saw him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man stood in the middle of the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood dripped from his hands, pooling at his feet. His hair fluttered in the wind\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as a wide smile curved his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All around him were corpses of Demonic Beasts, piled high like mounds of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yiming's breath caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man didn't seem to notice them. He stood still for a moment, head tilted\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>slightly as if listening to something far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, from the other end of the street, another beast-a massive Grade-4 wolf\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-lunged at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man turned his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smile curved his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the next instant-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhhk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolf's head separated cleanly from its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't even have time to scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed into the firelight like a crimson arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man laughed softly, the sound carried by the wind-light, almost\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>casual, yet chilling to the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining beasts, sensing something beyond their comprehension, trembled and began to back away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demonic Beasts that had destroyed everything in Willowshade were now\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yiming and the others couldn't help but feel a chill crawl down their spines when they saw such a scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Who is he? Someone that young... with such terrifying power?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuming wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Up! Look in the sky! It's a Flying Ship! Looks like a powerful clan has come to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>help us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the men pointed upward and shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them looked up to find a Flying Ship descending. Judging by its size,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>anyone could tell it belonged to a powerful clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That symbol... It's the Bai Clan! The Bai Clan has come to save us! We're safe!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them recognized the symbol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bai Clan-there was no one in the Desolate Heaven Empire who didn't\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>know that name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strongest clan in the Empire. With their involvement, even a Beast Tide of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this scale could be easily handled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They sighed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the reinforcements had been from a neighboring sect or small clan, they\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>might have still been worried-but it was the Bai Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no longer any need for fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky, the Bai Clan members watched as Bai Zihan leapt down and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>annihilated the Demonic Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should we help the Young Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them asked-not out of urgency, since the beasts below were clearly no\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>threat to Bai Zihan, but out of duty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was their heir they were talking about.
