Nature’s spiritual energy was waning and wild spirit beasts were extremely rare.
Moreover, even if one managed to obtain a spirit beast, in the hands of the Demon Sect, they were basically regarded as consumables, and very few were preserved.
He had managed to save up these ten-plus beasts solely because he exploited his status as the fourth holy child, using various means to inquire and request to acquire them.
Upon hearing this, the Taoist in green immediately flung his sleeve and tossed a spirit beast bag to Shen Fu.
Shen Fu was stunned for a moment. His spiritual sense probed into the bag, only to discover that it contained hundreds of various Class IV Demonic Beasts.
"This..." 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Shen Fu raised his head in shock.
"Find a secluded place and refine them quickly. Those who came with you, I will hold them off,"
the Taoist in green said indifferently.
Although Shen Fu had already guessed the purpose of the green-clad Taoist’s offering of these beasts, he couldn’t help but show a shocked expression upon hearing these words:
"Senior brother, these, these are all Class IV Demonic Beasts..."
Jiang Taiyin also couldn’t help but look slightly moved:
"Goodness! Such a grand gesture this lad is making!"
Class IV Demonic Beasts were equivalent to Nascent Souls, and Nascent Soul stage combat power was the backbone of any force, not to be overlooked anywhere.
Even within a large power like the primitive Demonic Sect, the number of disciples at the Nascent Soul stage numbered only a few hundred.
Of course, there were also some enslaved Nascent Soul cultivators.
However, when Shen Fu’s senior brother took out nearly a hundred Class IV Demonic Beasts in one gesture, even he couldn’t help but be astounded.
The green-clad Taoist remained calm:
"Uncontrolled Demonic Beasts may seem fierce but are ultimately of little benefit; go on and refine them."
These beasts were all subdued by him on the shores of the South Sea.
If his true form were willing to spend the time and effort, he could gradually tame these beasts. Though not as clever and spiritually wise as spirit beasts, they could still be reluctantly made useful.
But as it involved Shen Fu, and with the crisis rapidly approaching, nearly a hundred beasts of little use were not so hard to part with, especially since he had long since selected the potentially breedable ones among them.
After weighing it all, passing them to Shen Fu was the most suitable choice.
Hearing the green-clad Taoist’s words, Shen Fu hesitated, but eventually grabbed the spirit beast bag and nodded heavily to the green-clad Taoist.
Jiang Taiyin also returned to his body.
"Thank you, senior brother!"
Having said this, Shen Fu transformed into a beam of light and swiftly flew out.
The green-clad Taoist watched him leave, mused inwardly for a while, and then instructed the cultivators guarding the temporary imperial palace to keep watch over the area before he quickly flew toward Yuhuang Peak.
Upon seeing Master Yao Wudi, he quickly relayed the information he had learned from Shen Fu.
Yao Wudi shook his head with a solemn expression:
"You’re too late... They’ve already arrived."
The green-clad Taoist was slightly startled, then his face also turned somewhat solemn.
He had been vigilant early on but had no clarity on the Demonic Sect’s strategy or the Kingdom of Immortals’ trump cards; therefore, he could not be certain of the specific circumstances of the battle.
Seeing his reaction, Yao Wudi comforted him:
"Don’t worry too much. If the Martial Uncles have come this far, none of them are fools. Knowing there’s something wrong with this battle, how could they not be cautious? Since they dare to go, they have the confidence to save themselves. Moreover, under the limitation of the world’s constraints, there likely isn’t anyone in the entire Little Cang World who could wipe out the Martial Uncles and the people from Longevity Sect and Youxian Temple in one fell swoop!"
The green-clad Taoist remained silent.
For this trip, apart from the Qin Family with their limited abilities, having only one Ancestor at the late-stage of Immortal Ascension, each of the other Three Sects sent out at least two peaks of Immortal Ascension power.
Six at the peak of Immortal Ascension joining forces, not to mention those other Immortal Ascension cultivators who followed, even someone like Han Yanzi, a Void Refining cultivator, bound by the rules of heaven and earth, could kill at most two or three before being struck down by Thunder Tribulation.
Besides, Immortal Ascension cultivators are not lambs to the slaughter; if they encounter danger and flee in different directions, Void Refining cultivators, unable to fully exert their power, can only stand by helplessly.
As they spoke,
Yao Wudi suddenly changed his expression and looked into the distance.
Soon, the green-clad Taoist also sense something and followed Yao Wudi’s gaze far into the distance.
On the horizon, dozens of fast-moving lights, faster than lightning, approached at great speed.
"It’s the Martial Uncles!"
Yao Wudi hurriedly flew to meet them.
The green-clad Taoist quickly followed.
Shortly after, these dozens of figures stopped in mid-air.
The four leading the group were none other than Liang Qiuyu, Yan Wenzheng, Elder Xia, and Xi Lingbo, who had recently gone to Guangling State to subdue the Three Divine Emperors.
However, compared to their previously high-spirited departure, they now appeared considerably more disheveled, and their auras were noticeably tumultuous.
Each one wore a stern face, grave in expression.
The only thing that slightly relieved Yao Wudi was that although the cultivators looked a bit disheveled, and the qi of a few was much weakened, they had not suffered any loss of life.
Yao Wudi scanned the group and couldn’t help but step forward to ask:
"Martial Uncle, did you capture the Three Divine Emperors?"
Yan Wenzheng’s face looked a bit ugly, he didn’t respond to Yao Wudi but turned to look at Liang Qiuyu beside him, his voice cold:
"Taoist Friend Liang, given the strength displayed by the Three Divine Emperors just now, could Gong Qianqiu really have escaped from them by himself?"
"Could it be that your Demonic Sect staged a play in collusion with the Kingdom of Immortals, deliberately luring us there?"
The Elder Xia from Longevity Sect and another cultivator looked slightly cold upon hearing this, encircling Liang Qiuyu more or less intentionally.
Xi Lingbo from Youxian Temple and Chao Wentao also narrowed their eyes slightly.
Their energies quietly locked onto Liang Qiuyu.
If there were any suspicious movements, they would be met with a joint strike from the Jin cultivators in an instant.
