A cold voice rang out, and the demonic beast in the dark clouds spoke in human language.
"We are merely operating on the outskirts of the Monster Beast Mountain Range and have no intention of disturbing you."
Old Yu clasped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the nine-headed purple-gold winged tiger.
"Despicable humans, since you've come, leave your lives behind."
Old Yu's polite words were met with overwhelming killing intent. The nine-headed purple-gold winged tiger was completely unreasonable, its fierce eyes filled with wildness.
Behind it came tens of thousands of demonic beasts, their immense power sweeping in from outside the Brocade Valley like a raging storm. Many young contestants had already perished under their merciless claws.
Roars echoed from the void, accompanied by the howls of demonic beasts. Countless flying demonic beasts covered the sky and enveloped the entire Brocade Valley, leaving the young people with nowhere to escape.
Many people looked terrified, and some were even so frightened that they collapsed to the ground. Almost all of them were young people who had not experienced much hardship and had never seen such a scene before.
"ah……"
A pretty young girl was so terrified that she fainted from the overwhelming and terrifying power. Her companions beside her also looked on in despair.
However, the clever and capable team did not only think about escaping, but chose to fight against demonic beasts of similar cultivation level.
They understood that only by fighting the monsters could they have a chance of survival.
"Hey, you guys, come over here."
Zhang Yun watched calmly as the beasts besieged the Brocade Valley, his expression unchanged. However, he noticed that the group from the Pill Hall had surrounded Feng Yanli in the face of danger, and the female disciples all looked solemn, ready to defend themselves at any moment.
Just then, Zhang Yun's calm voice rang out.
Turning her head to look, Guo Furong couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Zhang Yun looks even more dangerous than them, yet he's calling them over. What's the meaning of that?
"Zhang Yun, you should take care of yourself first. It's not always appropriate to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, is it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Yanli hesitated and said, "Senior Sister..."
"Junior Sister, don't worry. You are the Holy Maiden of our Pill Hall, the greatest hope for the future of the Pill Hall. We will protect you even if it costs us our lives. Besides, we have already sent out a distress signal. Our senior uncles and aunts will surely arrive soon. In the meantime, we can just do our best."
Guo Furong, fearing that Feng Yanli would panic and lose her composure, couldn't help but comfort her, saying that after all, her junior sister was still young and inexperienced.
"Senior sister, that's not what I meant. I meant, let's go to Zhang Yun's place. After all... after all, there's strength in numbers."
Feng Yanli said softly, even she herself realized that the reason she had come up with was not very convincing.
"Hmm?" Guo Furong raised an eyebrow, then said with a hint of exasperation, "Junior sister, you and Zhang Yun haven't even started dating yet, and you're already siding with him?"
"Whether he can even escape is a question, and besides, we don't seem to have an obligation to help him, do we?"
Guo Furong wasn't being indifferent; in this situation, they were barely able to protect themselves, so how could they care about others?
"Senior sister, don't you always say that doctors have the heart of parents and that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda?" Feng Yanli hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"I did say that, but with so many people, we can't do anything about it. Besides, why do you only want to save Zhang Yun?"
Guo Furong seemed to see right through Feng Yanli's thoughts.
However, she thought the opposite: Feng Yanli was a feeling, and Zhang Yun could protect them.
Although this feeling arose somewhat inexplicably, it was the first thing Feng Yanli felt when she met Zhang Yun's bright eyes; it was like a sense of security.
It's unclear whether it was Zhang Yun's composure, confidence, and calmness that influenced her.
"Senior Sister, please listen to me this once." Feng Yanli's tone suddenly became firm, causing Guo Furong to pause slightly. After a moment of silence, she gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, Senior Sister, I'll listen to you this time. Let's all retreat together, retreat to Zhang Yun's side, and protect them while we're at it!" (My body contains countless worlds...)

Chapter 273 All Beasts Submit
Guo Furong knew that her junior sister was rarely willful, so no matter what the reason was this time, she would just let her be, since she was the most favored junior sister.
The reason she dared to say she would protect Zhang Yun was naturally because she had the confidence to do so.
The Pill Palace and the Jianglan Holy Palace are forces of the same level. How could the Holy Maiden travel without the protection of a Star Realm expert?
However, more and more demonic beasts appeared around them. In addition to the Nine-Headed Purple-Gold Winged Tiger and the Golden-Eyed Spotted Ox, which were comparable to the mid-stage Star Realm king-level demonic beasts, there were also three demonic beasts in the early stage of the Star Realm: the Eight-Winged Fire Bat, the Ghostly Fang Evil Wolf King, and the Jade-Eyed Three-Flower Python.
Any one of these five demonic beasts, if placed in the human world, would possess the terrifying power to easily destroy a city.
Even with the protection of a Star Realm expert among the Dan Palace group, they dared not be careless in the slightest.
"Zhang Yun, what are you standing there for? Come here right now!"
Whether in the sky or on the ground, countless demonic beasts were eyeing humanity covetously. Seeing Zhang Yun hesitate, Guo Furong immediately said anxiously. She knew that Zhang Yun's strength and defense were amazing, but on the demonic beast side, there were a full five powerful demonic beasts at the Star Realm.
Faced with such a terrifying true appearance, Zhang Yun's behavior was far too arrogant.
"What's so scary about a mere demon beast?"
Zhang Yun glanced at Guo Furong and said casually, leaving Guo Furong's beautiful eyes filled with astonishment, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Protected by Elder Yu, Zhang Tianxing, who was far outside the battle circle, sneered coldly: "Zhang Yun, Zhang Yun, should I say you are ignorant or too arrogant? A nine-headed purple-gold winged tiger at the mid-stage of the Star Realm can easily tear you to pieces."
Old Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. Although his group from the Jianglan Holy Temple had successfully broken through the encirclement and were far outside the battle zone, he remained calm and cautious, not daring to slack off in the slightest. After all, this distance was not too far for a Star Realm expert.
"Zhang Yun, do you really want to die?" Guo Furong was really angry with Zhang Yun: "Junior Sister, look at this, this is the person you want to save. We want to save him, but he doesn't appreciate it at all."
"I..." Feng Yanli hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
