Rumble!

In the dark sky, a blinding light suddenly flickered.

Immediately, the light expanded violently.

Raging thunder tore open a gap in the dark sky.

Then, the wild power surged into the grey winds.

The whole world seemed to pause for a moment.

All sounds were silent for a brief moment.

Then came an even greater sound than before.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The wind was torn apart, darkness evaporated.

A never-ending flame, resembling the sun, kept rising, rising, rising!

Everyone instinctively closed their eyes tightly.

It seemed if they took another glance, they might be blinded by the endless light.

Even the pores all over their bodies tingled.

Residual lightning seemed to penetrate their protective magical power, reaching deep within.

This power...

A inexplicable sense of awe rose in everyone's hearts.

No doubt at all, that strike from Ji Haoyuan just now definitely reached the late third stage level.

Meaning, Ji Haoyuan alone had touched the threshold of that realm.

When all this cleared away.

Everyone looked to the field again and noticed the man in green, Zhou Kun, now had blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, his face pale as ever.

Evidently, it wasn't just the use of the third-grade superior magical treasure, the Doomsday Wind Disaster Banner, that had consumed a lot of his magical power.

Ji Haoyuan's attack had directly put him at an absolute disadvantage in this confrontation.

Realizing this, neither Master Qianyue, Shi Siyao, nor Meng Changtian, who had just fought Ji Haoyuan, could help but feel a sense of shock.

The opponent's strength had reached such a level.

I was reckless to challenge him...

Meng Changtian's heart felt a tinge of fear.

Master Qianyue's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

His heart was a mix of feelings.

While Shi Siyao's beautiful eyes faintly glittered with excitement.

Zhou Kun, at the center of it all, felt a hint of bitterness.

All their planning and strategies were merely child's play in the eyes of the opponent.

With such power, the opponent had been undefeated from the start.

"Senior Brother Zhou, well played."

At this moment, Ji Haoyuan's voice suddenly rang in Zhou Kun's ear.

Now he was no longer sharp and aggressive, becoming polite and gracious.

His manner and words showed a bit of goodwill.

No matter what, he came to deal with the beast tide disaster.

In a sense, they will be comrades in the same trench.

Having the absolute advantage, and giving necessary intimidation, there was no need to be aggressive and deepen the gap.

Giving a way out when necessary is crucial.

Unless the other party shows disdain for such efforts, then it's a different matter.

Judging from the current situation, the worst unlikely scenario seems not to happen.

It indeed won't.

Zhou Kun's face revealed a bitter smile first, then he gave an apologetic look, politely cupping his hands towards Ji Haoyuan:

"Junior Brother Nanhua's divine techniques are formidable, I humbly admit defeat.

Regarding the beast tide matter, as the host here, Junior Brother Nanhua, please take care, we will fully cooperate."

Zhou Kun's attitude was clear.

Having witnessed Ji Haoyuan's near Golden Core-level techniques, he was willing to concede most of the decision-making power.

To let Ji Haoyuan lead the efforts to handle the beast tide.

After all, Ji Haoyuan was recognized as an Honored Guest Elder from the Demonstration Sect, essentially one of them.

He felt no hindrance in accepting this.

In the Cultivation Realm, strength prevails.

If you are strong, your words and deeds carry weight.

Otherwise, they're mere illusions with no real meaning.

Ji Haoyuan did not keep Zhou Kun and others waiting outside, instead led them into the Ji Family Territory.

Meanwhile, Meng Changtian mustered the courage to apologize to Ji Haoyuan.

Ji Haoyuan, naturally, accepted gracefully, allowing Meng Changtian an honorable retreat.

Once all trivial matters were settled.

Ji Haoyuan led Zhou Kun and the others to the Ji Family's council hall.

He knew Zhou Kun and they must have plans and arrangements for the visit.

Though he had the decisive say now, he listened to their plans for dealing with the beast tide.

Or rather, the Demonstration Sect's plan for handling the beast tide.

This was necessary.

Ji Haoyuan never underestimated the resources of a Nascent Soul sect.

Who knows, Zhou Kun and the others might possess treasures beyond his imagination.

Indeed.

Upon Ji Haoyuan's inquiry, Zhou Kun revealed a palm-sized, fortress-shaped item.

"This item is a mechanized artifact given to us by the sect before departure, named War Fortress, of third-grade superior rank.

Placed in a third-grade spiritual land, it can unleash its full power."

"War Fortress?"

It was Ji Haoyuan's first time seeing such a mechanized creation.

Zhou Kun smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's our trump card against this beast tide.

Within this War Fortress are several third-grade linked arrays, containing Killing Arrays, Trapping Arrays, Illusion Arrays, and Defense Arrays.

If any demon beasts dare to trespass, even a third-grade demon would be swiftly grounded into dust by this fortress.

Furthermore, cultivators inside can continuously receive array's power, without worrying about depletion of magical power."

"So formidable?"

Ji Haoyuan felt slightly astonished.

He couldn't help but admire.

A Nascent Soul sect indeed had unimaginable resources and treasures.

However, such a powerful war machine must have some shortcomings, right?
