After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

"What's wrong dad?"

Seeing her father suddenly become so serious, Xu Shunu also sensed that something was wrong.

"The beast tide has come ahead of schedule and is coming with great force. You two stay close to us and prepare the defensive talismans we gave you. Once we get outside the city, put one up first."

Before Yu Jinchen could answer, Xu Qingman began to explain.

At the same time, Xu Qingman was also thinking that she and her husband had originally planned to bring the children here to broaden their horizons, but unexpectedly they encountered a beast tide once again.

What kind of luck do they have? They encountered a massive beast tide when they first came here eighty years ago, and it's happening again this time.

I wonder if the people from those major sects have arrived yet. If they have, that's fine. Otherwise, my husband and I might have to be careful, since we're still carrying these five little burdens.

"The beast tide is here already? Wasn't it supposed to be about ten days away? I was thinking of playing around in Dragon Hidden City first."

No sooner had Xu Shuyang finished speaking than his older brother, Xu Shunuo, slapped him on the head.

"You're still thinking about playing at a time like this? Didn't you hear what your mother said? The most important thing for us now is to be safe and try not to hold your parents back."

After being scolded by his second brother, Xu Shuyang obediently replied, "I understand, second brother."

The Shen brothers quickly assured him, "We will be careful too, Third Brother."

Seeing this, Xu Qingyao quickly added, "Shunuo, I will be careful too."

As long as the two older children are not around, Xu Shunuo is in charge of these kids. Although he is quite mischievous himself, he is very clear-headed when it comes to important matters, and he always has a reasonable basis when disciplining them.

Therefore, whenever Xu Shunuo disciplined the children, Xu Qingman and her husband would remain silent, appearing to completely trust him.

By the time the group arrived outside the city, the vanguard of the beast tide was already close by.

Upon seeing this situation for the first time, the five rookies turned pale with fright.

Xu Qingyao was so frightened that she grabbed Xu Qingman, "Sister, how come there are so many monsters? It's terrifying!"

"Don't be afraid, Yao Yao. I'm here with you. Just stay close to me and be careful."

Xu Qingman gently patted the little girl to comfort her, and personally affixed several high-level talismans to her.

These are only the first batch of demonic beasts. There shouldn't be any above the eighth rank, and even if there are, there won't be many. My husband and I can take care of the little ones.

Once the powerful demons emerge, we need to find a way to get these smaller ones into the city to avoid any irreversible consequences from carelessness.

Xu Qingman took a look at the cultivators outside the city. Although not all the people from the major sects had arrived, fortunately, some of them had already come.

She discovered that besides the couple, there were at least five or six other people at the Integration Stage, and two of them were at the Void Transformation Stage, which was above the Integration Stage.

As for the ancestor in the Tribulation Transcending stage, she didn't see him, and didn't know if he hadn't arrived yet, or if he had arrived but hadn't left the city.

However, with these two Void Realm cultivators present, even if a tenth-order great demon appears, the human cultivators will still have a fighting chance.

However, this will result in significant casualties among these low-level cultivators.

Sigh! I hope everything will turn out for the better.

In the blink of an eye, the monster was already rushing towards them. Xu Qingman shouted to the children, "The monster is coming! Be on guard!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shunu and the other four reacted immediately, quickly forming a circle back to back, holding longswords and watching the dozen or so fire wolves that were closing in.

The leader of these dozen or so wolf demons was at the peak of the fourth rank, equivalent to the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage in human cultivation. At this moment, it looked around and pounced on Xu Qingyao, who had the lowest cultivation level.

"Auntie, be careful and don't be afraid, I'll help you."

As Xu Shunu swung his sword at the alpha wolf, he shouted at Xu Qingyao, who was trembling with fear.

"I understand, Shunu. Be careful yourself, I'll take good care of myself."

Seeing that the alpha wolf had been caught by Xu Shunu and hadn't bitten her, Xu Qingyao, though still very scared, mustered her courage and stabbed at a wolf next to her. The more she killed, the lighter the burden would be for her two nephews.

Seeing that she had killed the peak second-tier wolf demon with a single sword strike, three or four more immediately surrounded her, including one that was already at the mid-third tier, Xu Qingyao felt a chill run down her spine.

Even if she had three heads and six arms, it wouldn't be enough. Xu Qingyao thought she might as well use the Thunderstorm Talisman that her sister gave her, since she had plenty in her storage ring anyway.

She added another defensive talisman to herself, then took out several thunderstorm talismans and threw them over. With several loud booms, the wolf demons surrounding her all fell down.

Seeing that the other wolf demons hadn't approached yet, Xu Qingyao quickly collected the wolf demon corpses on the ground into a special storage bag. Xu Qingyao nodded; these were valuable items, exchangeable for spirit stones, and she couldn't afford to waste them.

Having found a way to get rich quickly, Xu Qingyao frantically threw talismans into the monster horde.

Of course, she wouldn't let any lone person slip by, and would immediately charge at them with her sword.

This girl transformed herself from someone who was afraid of monsters to someone who charged headlong into monster hordes in less than ten minutes, completing the perfect transition.

As for Xu Shunuo, although he had the highest cultivation level among the five, his most proficient fire-type spells were limited because he had a fire elemental root and the group of demonic beasts were also fire-headed. He could only use his spiritual power to cover his sword to assassinate them.

It took nearly fifteen minutes to finally defeat the fourth-tier demon beast they had just faced.

Seeing that she had only managed to take down one head while panting heavily, while her aunt had easily gotten seven or eight heads with the help of talismans, Xu Shunuo immediately learned from her and started throwing talismans as well.

Compared to Xu Shunuo, who has a fire elemental root, Xu Shuyang's metal elemental root is more advantageous here.

At this moment, Xu Shuyang was facing a wolf demon at the peak of the third tier. Before making his move, he first poured metal-type spiritual power into the sword, then thrust the sword into the wolf's head. The wolf demon only twitched a few times before collapsing to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the other demonic beasts rushed over together. Xu Shuyang was not afraid. Instead, he dodged while throwing talismans. After the talismans exploded in the wolf pack, he gripped his sword in his right hand and swiftly slashed at the demonic beasts that were not hit by the explosion.

With the talisman clearing the way, the three of them were able to deal with the wolf demon with ease.

The Shen brothers, however, were different. Perhaps because they were used to being frugal since childhood, although they had many talismans on them, they tried to use weapons to deal with the wolf demons. Only when absolutely necessary would they reluctantly throw out a talisman.

As for Xu Qingman and her husband, they did not go down to the field at this time, but were suspended in mid-air watching the children below.

They will only come to the rescue when they are truly in danger.

It's not that they're heartless; they're cultivators, not hothouse flowers. Only through trials and tribulations, and by experiencing real crises, can they grow stronger.

Of course, they would also lend a hand to any low-level cultivators near them who were in danger.

The few rookies fought with increasing vigor, and in an instant, a vacuum formed around them.

Little did they know that a fifth-tier firebird beast had already set its sights on them. Seeing that they were focused on picking up the wolf carcasses on the ground, it swooped down and grabbed Xu Shunuo and his brother with its two claws.
