At this point, Lin Yitang felt that things could not be delayed any longer. She was not afraid of Ye Qiuli trying to harm her, but she could not tolerate Ye Qiuli trying to harm the people around her.

If they want to pin the blame on Li Wuwang, they'll have to see if Lin Yitang agrees.

"Senior brother, quickly contact the others to come back and tell them that there is a peak fourth-tier demon on the border and the situation is urgent." She immediately told Li Wuwang to take out the communication jade.

Although Li Wuwang didn't understand why Lin Yitang was doing this, he did as she said without hesitation. He quickly probed the communication jade with his divine sense and relayed the message to everyone in the team.

Soon, a series of rapid whooshing sounds filled the air.

Streams of light rushed in from all directions and soon gathered into a large group of people in front of Lin Yitang and Li Wuwang.

Everyone was shocked to see Li Wuwang, who was covered in blood, his robes stained with blood, and seemingly about to collapse. They anxiously asked, "Senior Brother Wuwang, what happened? Are you alright?"

Li Wuwang had already received Lin Yitang's instructions, and at this moment he pretended to have just killed a demon beast, his body covered in blood, his clothes tattered, and he looked so tired that he could barely stand.

He feigned fear and weakness, and said in a trembling voice, "You...you finally came. As soon as you left, a fourth-tier demonic beast suddenly appeared! I had just barely managed to clear out a large group of demonic beasts, and my spiritual power and injuries hadn't even recovered yet. I almost died at the hands of that beast!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled, their gazes immediately falling on the corpse of the fourth-tier demonic beast on the ground. After clearly recognizing the beast's features, they gasped, their faces turning deathly pale; they had clearly recognized the fourth-tier demonic beast.

"Isn't this the lord beast of this place? How could it appear at this time?" someone exclaimed.

Yes, after fighting the beast tide here for some time, everyone is basically familiar with the monsters in this area, especially the peak fourth-order monsters, which are few in number and each one can cause disaster to the outside world, making them quite troublesome for the Taique Sect.

Unexpectedly, at this time when manpower was at its lowest, a peak fourth-tier demonic beast arrived, and it was also the lord of this area. Because of their departure, a great disaster was almost caused; they almost released the fourth-tier demonic beast from the central perimeter. If this powerful demon had gone to the outer perimeter, all the disciples there would have suffered a terrible fate!

Fortunately, Senior Brother Li Wuwang blocked the fourth-order demon beast, otherwise they would have become the sinners of the entire sect.

Li Wuwang gave a wry smile and shook his head, saying, "I didn't expect it to turn out like this. If my junior sister hadn't arrived in time and fought alongside me, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed."

As he spoke, he subtly gestured to Lin Yitang with his eyes, as if asking her how to proceed.

Lin Yitang understood immediately and stepped forward, pretending to be extremely weak. She said to everyone, "Fellow senior brothers and sisters, this fourth-order demon beast is coming with great force. We must find out its origin as soon as possible to avoid endless troubles."

Everyone nodded in agreement, but they were also filled with lingering fear.

Someone sighed, "Thank goodness Senior Brother Li is here, otherwise this area would probably be finished. If that fourth-tier demonic beast had really run out to the outer perimeter, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

“That’s right. Senior brother single-handedly blocked a fourth-tier demon beast, which is truly remarkable! You must know that demon beasts are generally stronger than human cultivators in terms of physical attributes and attack power. In the case of the same level, it takes two or three people to deal with a demon beast of the same level.”

Upon hearing this, Li Wuwang smiled modestly and said, "You flatter me. I was able to kill this fourth-order demon beast thanks to Junior Sister Lin's great help. If she hadn't held back the demon beast's attack at the crucial moment, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then looked at Lin Yitang in surprise. They did not expect that a cultivator at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage could actually help kill a fourth-order demon beast in the hands of Li Wuwang, who was at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Lin Yitang humbly replied, "Senior Brother Li, you are too modest. I merely detonated a magic weapon to help you. It was your strength that truly slayed the demon beast."

Everyone nodded in agreement, looking at Lin Yitang with new respect. Just then, Lin Yitang changed the subject and asked seriously, "However, fellow senior brothers and sisters, I still have a question to ask. As far as I know, you are all cultivators stationed on the border to prevent the central battle line from being breached, but why did you leave Senior Brother Li alone at the encampment at such a crucial juncture? What's going on?"

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, seemingly finding the matter strange as well. Someone explained, "We received a message saying that our eastern outpost had been attacked by a fifth-tier demonic beast, and the situation was critical, requiring our immediate assistance."

"They said they needed a lot of manpower and it would be best to keep only the minimum number of people at the base. But when we arrived, we found that there were no fifth-tier demonic beasts there at all, only one or two fourth-tier demonic beasts causing trouble."

Another person chimed in, "We felt something was wrong at the time, but the message was so serious that we didn't dare to take it lightly. The person who delivered the message said that they appeared before we arrived, and left as soon as we came, so we had no choice but to believe it with suspicion."

“That’s right,” another person complained. “Moreover, it wasn’t just one base that sent out support requests; several places said there was an emergency. We split up to provide support, only to find that there was nothing there. It’s clearly someone sabotaging things.”

Lin Yitang nodded thoughtfully.

Then, in a sincere tone, he asked, "By the way, I have another question for you senior brothers and sisters. Are there any other inner sect genius disciples stationed in the nearby outposts?"

"The unconscious male cultivator in my hands is an outer disciple of Danfu Peak. He seems to have important matters to discuss with Junior Sister Ye Qiuli of Danfu Peak. Does anyone know Junior Sister Ye's location?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. Finally, one disciple recalled seeing Ye Qiuli and the others at a certain encampment.

He raised his hand and said, "I remember seeing Junior Sister Ye and the others in the middle perimeter area, near the inner perimeter front. If we want to find them, we'll probably have to cross several beast tide points in the middle perimeter; that area is too dangerous."

He paused, then suggested, "Why don't we send a few people to accompany you, so we can look out for you?"

Lin Yitang smiled slightly and politely declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother, but there's no need. I have ways to protect myself, and I can handle any danger I may encounter."

After all, if there was any danger, the orange on her head and Senior Sister Jiang around her waist would warn her. Traveling with a half-step Golden Core cultivator and a Golden Core cultivator gave her confidence.

Seeing this, the others stopped insisting.

They all said that if Lin Yitang were in danger, she should send a message for help, and they would definitely come to her aid immediately.
