"Qinghe, what's going on? Where are you going next month? Why do you want a good weapon? Is it dangerous?"

As soon as Xu Jingheng finished speaking, the whole family stared at Xu Qinghe, waiting for his reply.

"Hmm, it's a bit dangerous, that's how it is..."

It turns out that during this period, Baiyun Town, located on the other side of the Sunset Mountains, was attacked by beast tides one after another, causing considerable losses to the nearby residents.

The two cultivation families in Baiyun Town also suffered huge losses, and having no other choice, they sought help from the Nine Yang Sect.

Therefore, their sect leader decided to send someone to investigate and find out what was going on.

After all, although Sunset Mountain Range is full of monsters, they rarely come out of the mountains to harass the residents below, especially when hundreds or thousands of them come at once.

The sect has already sent two groups of people, but apart from discovering that around the fifteenth of each month, a group of demonic beasts would periodically emerge from the mountain, they couldn't find the reason for it at all.

With no other option, the sect could only rotate a new batch of people to guard the area each month, while also helping the people of Baiyun Town repel the beast tide.

Next month it will be Qingyun Peak's turn. Xu Qing and his master and fellow disciples are all good at alchemy, but not so good at weapon crafting.

Therefore, even though Xu Qinghe is already a disciple of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he doesn't have a decent weapon and is still using the sword that Xu Qingman and her husband gave him when he entered the sect.

As for the swords issued by the sect, they are even worse; they are not as good as my own.

Upon hearing that his son was going to Sunset Mountain Range to stop the beast tide, Xu Jingheng asked with concern, "Aren't there many high-level demonic beasts in Sunset Mountain Range? What use is a Golden Core cultivator like you going there?"

"Father, you don't need to worry so much. Sunset Mountain Range has many high-level demonic beasts, but the demonic beasts that come down each time are at most fourth-level. Apart from me, who is at the Golden Core stage, all the senior brothers on Qingyun Peak are at the Nascent Soul stage and the Divine Transformation stage."

Besides, the team leader is always at least a Nascent Soul cultivator on each trip, so there's nothing to worry about. I now have good weapons, and since our Qingyun Peak primarily focuses on alchemy, we have no shortage of pills. I'll be fine.”

Seeing that the four elders were very worried, Yu Jinchen asked, "Qinghe, when are you leaving next month? Can your sister and I go?"

“Brother-in-law, we’re setting off on the eighth day of the month. You can go, but you won’t be able to ride the sect’s airship for free. You’ll have to buy tickets with some spirit stones.”

Yu Jinchen nodded, "Oh, that's alright, we can just spend some spirit stones."

As for taking their own flying boat, Xu Qingman and her husband never considered it. There were so many high-level demonic beasts in the center of the Sunset Mountains; they wouldn't let you go just because you were in the sky.

And so, the family decided that Xu Qingman and her husband would travel together next month. As for the two little ones' insistence on going along, the whole family suppressed it.

For some reason, ever since Xu Qinghe mentioned leaving for Yunwu Town, Xu Qingman had been extremely flustered, as if something was about to happen.

So no matter how much the little stone siblings made a fuss, she refused to agree.

Happy times always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the third day of the second month. Xu Qingman and her husband personally sent their younger brother onto the spaceship back to the sect, and then went home to wait for the spaceship to Baiyun Town.

Because they were preparing to go on a long trip, and all that remained at home were elderly people and children with low spiritual cultivation, the couple fortified the entire courtyard the day before they left.

Not only did they use defensive array plates, but they also set up an illusion array and a killing array, both of which were high-level array plates. Even someone with the Nascent Soul cultivation level couldn't enter without Xu Jingheng's permission.

Although they were worried about their younger brother, Xu Qingman and her husband were even more concerned about their two biological children, which is why they surrounded their home so tightly.

At the beginning of the eighth day of the lunar month, around 5:00 AM, the couple bid farewell to their families and went to the Jiuyang Sect's residence to await their departure.

At the hour of Mao (5-7 AM), the Nine Yang Sect's spaceship slowly came to a stop in front of them.

Besides Xu Qingman and her husband, the cultivators from Sifang City who went to Baiyun Town this time also included two Nascent Soul cultivators and seven or eight other Nascent Soul cultivators, who were probably disciples of some family.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you're here?"

As soon as the couple boarded the spaceship, Xu Qinghe ran over to greet them.

The Nascent Soul cultivator standing very close to him asked with a smile, "Junior Brother, are these two seniors your older sister and brother-in-law?"

Xu Qinghe nodded, "Senior Brother, these are my sister and brother-in-law."

Then he said to Xu Qingman and her husband, "Sister, brother-in-law, this is my senior brother Zheng Yusheng."

"Greetings, fellow Daoists. I heard from my junior brother that you are also going to Baiyun Town. On behalf of Qingyun Peak, I thank you both."

"It's alright, don't be so polite. My husband and I just happened to be free of any major issues, so we thought we'd come along to check on things. We're glad you don't mind us going to the trouble."

"We would never mind having two more experts. We have things to discuss. If you need anything, just come up to our junior brother."

After escorting Xu Qingman and her husband to their room, Xu Qinghe went out with his senior brother.

After arriving in Baiyun Town, Xu Qingman and her husband refused Zheng Yusheng's offer to live with them.

Although Zheng Yusheng was in charge of the Nine Yang Sect this time, there were still more than a dozen people from another peak.

Xu Qinghe's senior brothers were alright; they were all fairly upright people. But the people on the other peak were a different story; they were constantly trying to outdo each other along the way.

The couple had long realized that the relationship between the two peaks wasn't very friendly, so they decided not to get involved and avoid putting Zheng Yusheng in a difficult position.

After strolling around the town, selling the pills and talismans they had refined over the past few days, and buying some local delicacies, the two left Baiyun Town and headed out of town.

Before it got completely dark, I found a house in the village closest to the Sunset Mountains and prepared to stay there.

Looking at the once peaceful village, now there isn't a single person to be seen, not even a dog; it's eerily quiet.

The dilapidated walls of the courtyards revealed the initial ferocity of the beast tide. The walls and ground throughout the village were stained a dark, bloody color, sending chills down one's spine.

While in town, they had already heard that because the beast tide came so suddenly, none of the villagers, except for a few who had gone out, had escaped.

Although they were not Buddhist practitioners and did not understand Buddhist teachings, the two still sat cross-legged and chanted the Rebirth Mantra all night, hoping that these innocent villagers could be reborn as humans.

The next morning, the two headed straight for Sunset Mountain Range, hoping to find out the cause of the beast tide.

They felt there must be some reason why they hadn't discovered it. Otherwise, how could the Sunset Mountains, which had coexisted peacefully with humans for thousands of years, suddenly turn against them?

Perhaps because of these beast tides, they hadn't encountered a single person after walking for nearly two hours; the forest was utterly silent.
