Chapter 47 – Demonic Beast Stampede
The group ran for a long time until they saw the blurry silhouette of the gigantic sect entrance. The sect’s grounds spanned nearly ten thousand zhang, making it as vast as a city.
Suddenly, the sound of a commotion reached their ears once more. Li Guanqi held up his hand, instructing them to stop. They hid behind a boulder and peeked out.
Six tier-one demonic beasts were attacking a group of disciples clad in earth-colored robes.
Li Guanqi frowned. Those were Zhenyue Mountain Sect disciples. They had likely stumbled upon some treasure, only to be discovered by the beasts. Two of the disciples were already injured, and it did not look like they could hold out for much longer.
His mind raced as he weighed the risks and benefits of helping them before finally deciding to help them.
When Ye Feng noticed Li Guanqi’s reaction, he asked, “Old Li, are we going to help them?”
Li Guanqi explained quickly, “We must! And it’s not because of our good relationship with the Zhenyue Mountain Sect.
“Look, we’ve already killed disciples of the Seven Strings Sect, and we also stirred up trouble between us and the Azure Dragon Island earlier. Furthermore, the Myriad Immortal Sword Sect and Purple Cloud Sect have clearly allied. We need allies.”
The group nodded in agreement. Li Guanqi wasn’t acting out of blind righteousness—he had assessed the situation with a clear head.
Without further hesitation, they ran toward the battle a hundred zhang away.
Li Guanqi shouted, “Brothers of Zhenyue Mountain Sect! Hold on! We’re coming to help!”
