Chapter 1062: Chapter 850: The Dragon Vein Approaches

”As expected, you’re from Qiguang!” Shi Han’s expression darkened as he tightened his grip on the long spear and pointed at the blond man. ”What do you want?”

The blond man said, ”No need to be so tense. I’m just passing by and decided to help when I saw you under attack...”

”Passing by, deciding to help?”

Shi Han snorted inwardly, but his eyes showed disbelief.

Even though the appearance of the Grey Realm and the stabilization of the Earth Tribulation have made the situation between the North and South less intense,

undercurrents between the two sides still run deep, and they’re far from harmonious.

Everyone knows this is the calm before the storm. After the Dragon Vein emerges, there will surely be blood and chaos.

Though the blond man saved Mo Ling and killed two Snow Ghosts, he was still from Qiguang.

The opponent seemed incredibly strong. No matter what, it was best to leave quickly!

Shi Han kept his eyes fixed on the blond youth as he slowly stepped back with Mo Ling.

”By the way...”

The blond youth suddenly spoke as he stood there, causing Shi Han to tense up and grip the Snow Spear tightly.

However, the blond youth raised his head and looked into the depths of the Snow Mist Forest.

”Since someone is injured, you should retreat quickly. The beast tide is coming soon.”

”Beast tide?”

Shi Han frowned.

The probability of a beast tide occurring was low, and in dangerous zones like the Snow Mist Forest, beast tides are mostly at the level of Shining Star or Radiant Moon, with only a few Burning Sun Star Beasts occasionally charging out.

For himself and Mo Ling, who are at the Burning Sun level, escaping wouldn’t be difficult even if they couldn’t handle it.

However, Shi Han didn’t say much; completing their task meant they had to leave anyway.

After carefully distancing themselves a bit further, Shi Han realized the other party truly didn’t intend to make another move. He then used the Snow Escape Technique, wrapping Mo Ling, and swiftly retreated!

The blond youth watched Shi Han and Mo Ling disappear from sight before he withdrew his gaze.

After a while, another person emerged from behind.

”Phoenix, did you just let them go like that?”

It was a tall, sky-blue haired beautiful woman, also wearing a white cloak similar to the blond man’s.

But unlike the blond man, the brightest emblem on her cloak’s back depicted an angel holding a Holy Grail.

This woman, named Wendy, was one of the 22 Truth Knights of the Qiguang Truth Secret Society, known as ”Temperance.”

The Phoenix she referred to, the blond man, was also one of the 22 members of the Truth Secret Society, known as the Sun!

Phoenix placed his left hand on the hilt of the golden Holy Sword at his waist and shook his head slightly:

”My sword only cuts down enemies and outsiders, and for now, they don’t count as enemies.”

Wendy looked at Phoenix for a moment, pondered, and said, ”Next time, let me take care of these unrelated people.”

Phoenix shook his head and chuckled without dwelling on the matter, changing the subject instead: ”How’s the situation inside?”

Wendy reported, ”The star beasts deep within the Snow Mist Forest are already quite agitated, likely due to the indirect influence of changes in the Earth Qi.

According to earlier reports, if a beast tide occurs here, this region is likely to experience a Dragon Vein phenomenon.”

Phoenix nodded, just about to speak when he suddenly looked down at the shaking white snow on the ground.

”They’re here.”

In just a few seconds, the tremors had escalated to the magnitude of a high-stage earthquake!

Amidst the screeching cries of Snow Demons and the sounds of Tiger Roar Dragon Roar, countless Star Beasts could vaguely be seen flying out of the snowy mist.

Among them were several auras that had already reached the Burning Sun level!

”Wendy, you should retreat further back.” Phoenix turned around, looking towards the direction of the surging Star Beasts, ”It’s best to retreat at least ten kilometers.”

”Understood.”

Wendy raised her hands to form seals, leaving a motionless illusion at her original spot before her Spirit Light flashed and she vanished instantly.

Phoenix watched the herd of beasts rushing forward and slowly drew the Holy Sword from his waist...

Meanwhile, Mo Ling and Shi Han continued their rapid retreat.

Suddenly, Mo Ling sensed something and turned around, her expression immediately becoming grave.

”Shi Han, there’s really a beast tide!”

Shi Han had also realized it, turning his head to see the Snow Mist Forest, snowflakes swirling furiously like a snowstorm, incredibly alarming.

Within it, several unimaginably powerful auras emanated, even stronger than the duo!

Shi Han’s face showed astonishment: ”So many Burning Sun Star Beasts, there might even be Three Suns Realm ones. Could all the high-level Star Beasts in the Snow Mist Forest have rallied together?”

It was unexpected to encounter such a ferocious beast tide; even the duo couldn’t withstand it!

Shi Han immediately called forth a large area of flying snow to wrap them both: ”Let’s go!”

”Shi Han, look!” Mo Ling suddenly stopped him, pointing in shock towards a distant spot.

In the midst of the snowstorm above, in front of the thousand-beast tide of ice and snow star beasts, there was a sudden point of golden light.

”Could it be him!” Shi Han immediately thought of the blond man from earlier.

However, before Mo Ling and Shi Han’s eyes, the golden light was quickly submerged by the Burning Sun beast tide led by the Ice Chi.

”Not good!” Mo Ling’s eyes flashed with worry.

Though they were adversarial factions, the other had indeed saved the duo.

The snowstorm swept through, even the light could no longer be seen.

The two couldn’t care much more and were about to use the Snow Escape Technique to increase their distance.

But at that moment, within the beast tide, a brilliant light suddenly flared!

Then heaven and earth turned white, as if another sun exploded from the ground, instantly unleashing infinite light and heat!

Despite the distance, Mo Ling and Shi Han’s vision turned blindingly white, making it impossible to see anything.

They could only vaguely see the flying snow melting, thousands of ice and snow star beasts turning into ash almost simultaneously, regardless of their strength!

Moments later, the light and heat gradually dissipated.

Shi Han and Mo Ling stared blankly at the scene before them, their pupils trembling violently.

The snowstorm ceased abruptly, the beast tide evaporated, sunlight pierced through clouds, and the snowfields were parched... In midair only that small bright golden flame remained!

”What... what on earth is this...?!”

Shi Han looked at the figure in midair, feeling a chill down his spine!

Recalling how he had pointed a spear at him earlier, Shi Han’s face now dripped with sweat, even in the cold Snow Mist Forest.

Mo Ling, too, widened her eyes in disbelief at the scene.

Could it be... that man was at the King Level?

No... based on his aura, he hadn’t reached the level of the Firehawk Guard Marshal.

But to deliver such an attack, was it really possible for someone at the Burning Sun level! It was simply unimaginable!

...

Phoenix sheathed the Holy Sword, descending from midair. The Star Power Fluctuation around him was slightly weaker than before.

Utilizing such immense power and wide-ranging techniques obviously consumed a lot, even for Phoenix.

”Cleared.”

Phoenix looked at the illusion Wendy left behind and spoke softly.

The runes on the illusion flickered and soon Spirit Light circulated, as Wendy herself reappeared before Phoenix.

Looking around at the beast tide burned away in an instant, a steadiness flickered in the depths of Wendy’s eyes.

The Truth Secret Society harbored 22 members from noble, military, and Holy Temple backgrounds alike.

But only two had abandoned their Sun Knight status, having already released their True Form to accept the Holy Blessing and join the Secret Society...

One of them, was Phoenix standing before her!

Immensely powerful, he adhered strictly to his chivalrous code, known as the knight among knights.

After joining the Truth Secret Society, he even received one of the four sealing Holy Artifacts granted to the society, the Holy Sword Nahir!

Wendy raised her head, looking towards Phoenix.

”Are you okay?”

”Just a bit exhausted,” Phoenix shook his head slightly, then suggested, ”Check the area, Wendy.”

Wendy nodded, immediately activating a Magic Technique to examine the state of the Earth Qi.

Soon, Wendy’s eyes sparkled: ”The Earth Qi is flowing turbulently. Indeed, this region is a possible birthplace of a Dragon Vein!”

Phoenix nodded: ”Alright then, let’s get prepared.”

Wendy gave a slight nod and promptly made seals with her hands, starting the preparations...
