It didn’t take much for them to realize what the target of these spirit beasts was.
It was the Divine Blood Fruit.
With the way that this wave of spirit beasts was running, there was only one thing that they could be aiming for which was the Divine Blood Fruit that was growing on this hill.
For these people that had come all this way for the Divine Blood Fruit, there was only one thing that they could do…
All of the people that had come for the Divine Blood Fruit suddenly jumped out and formed a line around the hill. As they formed this line, all of them acted as if they couldn’t see each other.
It was as if there was some kind of tacit agreement that they would all ignore each other as they fought these spirit beasts.
Once the spirit beasts were gone, then they would focus on the Divine Blood Fruit again.
Until then, it seemed like they were allies.
However, there was one thing that confused all of the people that were defending the Divine Blood Fruit.
It was why these spirit beasts were attacking in the first place.
They had thought that it was because the Divine Blood Fruit had drawn them in, but as they fought with the spirit beasts, they started noticing things that weren’t right.
The biggest of these things was that…there were Qi Gathering Realm Spirit Beasts that were charging at the Divine Blood Fruit.
Qi Gathering Realm Spirit Beasts shouldn’t be foolish enough to sacrifice their lives like this even if they had a desire to take the Divine Blood Fruit for themselves. They should have the awareness that they wouldn’t have a chance to take the Divine Blood Fruit even if they threw themselves at it.
Even the slightest trace of intelligence would be enough to figure this out.
So why were they so desperately throwing themselves at the Divine Blood Fruit like this?
It just didn’t seem to make any sense at all…
Regardless of whether it made sense or not, this wasn’t what they had to consider right now. The most important thing was defending the Divine Blood Fruit and making sure that it was alright.
So there was no hesitation at all as they slaughtered all of the spirit beasts that came at them.
The problem was that it didn’t seem like there was an end to these spirit beasts. It seemed like these spirit beasts just wouldn’t give up and it even seemed like there were more spirit beasts that were showing up.
While they didn’t know if the attraction of the Divine Blood Fruit was this strong, it seemed like it was attracting quite a few spirit beasts.
At this rate…it seemed like they would run out of strength before they could finish off the spirit beasts.
Those that didn’t have anything backing them and were only here looking for a chance were already looking for a way out. They knew that this Divine Blood Fruit wasn’t worth risking their lives for.
In the first place, it was very unlikely that they would have had a chance to take this Divine Blood Fruit. Now that it seemed even more unlikely, they really didn’t want to risk their lives for this.
So the only thing that they could do was run away.
For those that did have a backer…
“Should we contact the main sect?”
That was the thought that was on all of their minds at this moment.
While they had no idea what happened that caused these spirit beasts to go crazy like this, they knew that they wouldn’t be able to hold on like this.
There were just too many spirit beasts after all.
In the end, all of them had no choice but to call for the four sects to come and support them.
There was still some time before the four sects could arrive, that was the time when the spirit beasts started to attack even more fiercely. At the same time, it seemed like there were stronger spirit beasts that suddenly came at them.
There were more Foundation Realm Spirit Beasts that suddenly appeared and started attacking them.
These scouts from the four factions were only mainly in Foundation Realm with only a few leaders being in the Qi Condensation Realm. It wouldn’t last long if they were to face these Foundation Realm Spirit Beasts with these members.
Only it seemed even worse when a certain thing happened.
“Ah Yue!”
One of the members of the Tang Family suddenly went down from a surprise attack from one of the spirit beasts. The other members of the Tang Family wanted to get revenge on that spirit beast, but it suddenly disappeared.
When it reappeared again, it suddenly attacked one of the Foundation Realm Spirit Beasts that had been about to attack someone from the Spirit Hall. This Foundation Realm Spirit Beast was completely caught off guard and knocked down by this spirit beast.
Then this spirit beast went to the side of the Spirit Hall group and seemed like it was protecting them.
The Spirit Hall group didn’t notice this at all since they were focused on the waves of spirit beasts around them. They didn’t have time to care about the actions of a single spirit beast.
But that didn’t mean that the Tang Family ignored this.
There were seeds of doubt that were now sown in the hearts of the members of the Tang Family group.
It was just that they weren’t able to do anything since they were completely surrounded by the spirit beasts.
The only thing that they could do was keep this matter in their hearts and settle with the Spirit Hall after this.
It was just that it wasn’t the Tang Family alone that this was happening to.
This happened with all of the other four groups that had been sent here to watch over the Divine Blood Fruit.
All of them encountered a situation that was just like the situation that the Tang Family encountered. It would always be one of the other four groups that these spirit beasts ran off to.
It was almost as if there was someone who was controlling these spirit beasts.
They lingered in the back of their minds and it didn’t take long before these seeds of doubt started to sprout in their minds. Once these seeds of doubt started to sprout, they couldn’t help moving away from each other.
It seemed that they were determined to keep as much distance as they could from each other.
It was as if they didn’t dare rely on each other for anything.
As Ye Qing Huan saw this happen, she couldn’t help revealing a strange look.
It was a very strange kind of smile.
“Isn’t this my trick?” That was what Ye Qing Huan thought to herself as she watched everything happen.
Since she had been watching the entire time, she naturally knew the connection between Lin Fan and the spirit beasts. She didn’t know exactly what method he used to control them, but she knew that he was the one that was controlling them to attack the ones that were protecting the Divine Blood Fruit.
At the same time, she could see what he was doing.
It was the exact same thing that she had done to them previously when they had wanted to take the Nine Lives Tree.
Ye Qing Huan had used the wraiths to sow the seeds of doubt between these four groups and in the end had caused them to take each other down.
But Lin Fan was doing this on a much larger scale than Ye Qing Huan had done.
She just couldn’t help wondering how far he would take this.
“Boom!”
There was a large explosion as several powerful experts suddenly appeared on the spot.
These were experts in the QI Condensation Realm that were being led by experts in the Golden Core Realm. These were powerful cultivators that were far stronger than the others that were here.
When they saw the four groups split up like this, they also split off into four different groups as well and went to where those four groups were split.
These were the experts of the four sects that backed these four groups.
They went forward and saved these four groups that were surrounded by the spirit beasts, but they all couldn’t help revealing strange looks since they never thought that these four groups would be put in such a state by these spirit beasts.
They should have been much stronger than the spirit beasts, yet they had been pushed this far.
“Watch out!”
One of the members of the Tang Family shouted at the elder from the Unfettered Sect.
The elder was caught off guard to hear this, but he quickly raised his sword and blocked the claws that came from the darkness.
The elder hadn’t noticed these claws until the very last moment.
It really was as if this attack had come out of nowhere.
Seeing that it failed, the spirit beast that had attacked the elder suddenly slipped back into the crowd of spirit beasts and disappeared without a trace.
The elder knew that this must be the reason why the Tang Family had suffered at the hands of these spirit beasts. It seemed like there were some spirit beasts that had strange abilities hiding in this crowd.
But what the member of the Tang Family told this elder next shocked him even more.
“What? Are you certain of this?”
This wasn’t just happening with the Unfettered Sect, it was happening with all four sects.
