That's right, the one who fought so fiercely with this terrifying monster, causing such intense fluctuations in the battle, was Ye Qiuli!

At this moment, Ye Qiuli looked completely different from usual.

Normally she was aloof and ethereal, always impeccably dressed, but now her clothes were filthy and disheveled, her blue inner disciple robes were covered with holes of all sizes, her hair was a mess, and her eyes were filled with terror.

She was covered in cuts and bruises, the bloodstains a horrifying sight. The most serious wound was on her left shoulder, the blood soaking through her clothes and trickling down her arm.

But she paid no heed, clutching the large pile of fabric tightly in her arms, not daring to let go even as she was chased and fled for her life by the peak fourth-tier demon beast.

When he saw the outpost in the distance, his eyes lit up, and with his last ounce of strength, he shouted, "Help! Someone, please help me!"

Upon hearing her cries for help, several Foundation Establishment stage disciples from Danfu Peak rushed out and quickly caught the swaying Ye Qiuli.

They helped her down to the open ground of the camp, asking with concern and urgency, "Senior Sister Ye, what happened? What's wrong? Why were you being chased by a fourth-tier demonic beast?"

The Foundation Establishment cultivators in the camp also gathered around, eager to find out what was going on.

Ye Qiuli collapsed into the arms of her disciples, tears streaming down her face as she recounted her ordeal: "I don't know what happened. I was just outside driving away the beast tide, trying to earn some merit points. I don't know how, but I suddenly provoked this fourth-tier demon beast. It chased me all the way, exhausting all my spiritual energy, before I barely managed to escape here."

Her voice trembled with fear and exhaustion, her tone filled with helplessness and grievance. Her swaying body revealed a sense of fragility, like a willow swaying in the breeze.

Her tearful appearance evokes pity and a strong urge to protect her.

After hearing her explanation, everyone immediately understood.

It turns out that Ye Qiuli accidentally provoked this powerful fourth-tier peak demonic beast during her training. Although ordinary people would not provoke demonic beasts, powerful demonic beasts are always unpredictable and sometimes even attack humans for no reason.

Moreover, this monster was clearly the lord of a region, and anyone who entered its territory would be attacked. Ye Qiuli had obviously unknowingly wandered into its territory.

When the disciples of Danfu Peak saw Ye Qiuli's miserable state, they were immediately filled with rage.

They looked furious and carefully helped Ye Qiuli sit down, muttering curses as they said, "Those two useless senior brothers are really incompetent! They failed to protect Senior Sister Ye, causing our goddess to suffer such a great injustice!"

"That's right, Senior Sister Ye has suffered so many injuries, yet no one came to help her. Have they gone mad from killing so many demonic beasts?!"

The cultivators in the camp were also discussing whether they should help drive away the peak fourth-tier demonic beast and save Ye Qiuli. In the end, they decided to save her.

After all, Ye Qiuli is a rising star among the new generation of disciples of the Taique Sect, and she cannot be lost during a time of crisis for the sect.

The late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who commanded Lin Yitang simply waved his hand, leading more than ten late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators to guard outside the defensive array and confront the terrifying demonic beast.

He stood ready, his gaze fixed seriously on the peak fourth-tier demonic beast not far away, prepared to make a move at any moment.

Although the strength of a half-step Golden Core cultivator should not be underestimated, they have more than a dozen late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators joining forces, so the outcome is still uncertain.

However, after pondering for a moment, he turned to look at Lin Yitang, who was standing in the defensive formation, and said, "By the way, Junior Sister Lin, please help us to kill this monster."

Some people in the camp were puzzled as to why a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would request assistance from an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, but those who had witnessed Lin Yitang's actions were not surprised.

Lin Yitang nodded slightly upon hearing this, hummed in agreement, and strode out of the defensive array toward Ye Qiuli and the group of late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

At that moment, Ye Qiuli also saw Lin Yitang and was startled.

She looked incredulous, wondering how Lin Yitang could be here.

After thinking for a while, he remembered that he had instructed the late-stage Qi Refining male cultivator to find a way to lure Lin Yitang into the inner circle.

Immediately, I was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, the Qi Refining male cultivator actually succeeded in bringing Lin Yitang into the middle circle.

He had originally planned to lure Lin Yitang into the inner circle and then kill her. But now she had appeared before him and even come to his rescue; it was truly a stroke of luck.

It's unclear what Lin Yitang was thinking, that she would help someone else save her.

However, this does not prevent Ye Qiuli from acting.

She immediately put on an expression of ecstatic joy, tears streaming down her face, and thanked them profusely: "Thank you so much, thank you all so much for coming to our rescue! It's all my fault, I accidentally provoked this monster and dragged everyone into danger, you won't blame me, will you?"

Her words were full of self-blame, as if it was truly her negligence that had attracted this monster.

Seeing this, several disciples from Danfu Peak quickly stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "Senior Sister Ye, what are you saying? You are also a victim. How could we blame you?"

"That's right, that's right, senior sister, don't blame yourself, we will definitely protect you."

Hearing these comforting words, Ye Qiuli's eyes reddened even more.

She tried to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, her expression becoming increasingly sincere.

However, all of this seemed somewhat ridiculous to Lin Yitang.

Lin Yitang glanced at Ye Qiuli and could tell that Ye Qiuli's pitiful appearance was completely an act.

His gaze shifted slightly, landing on the bundle of fabric that Ye Qiuli was tightly clutching in her arms, and he understood immediately.

What's wrapped in this piece of cloth should be the monster egg mentioned in the original text.

Cultivators usually put their belongings in storage bags, but living creatures cannot be put into storage bags; they can only be put into spirit beast bags or held directly in their arms.

Therefore, what Ye Qiuli is holding must be a spirit beast egg, and it is very likely that it belongs to this fourth-order demon beast.

The fact that this demonic beast relentlessly pursued Ye Qiuli and seemed unusually angry suggests there must be a hidden reason behind it.

Lin Yitang snorted inwardly, her understanding of Ye Qiuli's scheme becoming even clearer.

She finally learned the truth about Ye Qiuli being besieged by demonic beasts in the original story.

This monster egg is the reason.

It's likely that Ye Qiuli didn't provoke the beast accidentally, but rather stole its child, which is why the beast was so angry and chased by it.

If she hadn't stolen the beast's egg, the beast might not have even given her a second glance. After all, a human cultivator who had just entered the early stage of Foundation Establishment was nothing more than an ant in its eyes. How could it have gone mad and chased her for so long just because she accidentally entered its territory?

Judging from the extent of this monster's madness, it probably won't stop until it tears Ye Qiuli to pieces and wipes out everyone.

Only by stealing the monster eggs could the situation described in the original text, where Ye Qiuli was besieged by numerous high-level monsters, have occurred. Otherwise, given the original owner's cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining in the original text, how could she possibly command so many monsters to attack Ye Qiuli? She wasn't a deity.

With this analysis, the truth is revealed without a doubt.
