Deep within the Ghost Clan's Residence.

You was meditating with closed eyes, suddenly he opened them sharply, his piercing gaze penetrating the void, directly pointing in the direction of the Qingqiu Clan.

As a Totem Level powerhouse, he had certain senses about many things beyond mere awareness.

Just moments ago, a heart-pounding wave was closing in on the Qingqiu Clan Land.

"Qingqiu..." You murmured lowly, his brow furrowed.

The Qingqiu Clan Leader, Tu Shanyue, was likewise a Totem Level existence...

That which could threaten the Qingqiu Clan...

Was only a fierce beast!

You suddenly stood up, his black robe moving on its own without wind.

Immediately, he thought of the Nine Nether Centipede King residing nearby...

That creature's territory wasn't far from the Ghost Clan.

The space rippled, and You stepped into the void.

In an instant, his figure appeared above the lair of the Nine Nether Centipede King.

"Sure enough, not here..."

You scanned the entire area with his Spiritual Power, his expression growing increasingly grave.

The worst situation had occurred—

That troublesome fierce beast had genuinely left its lair.

Although the Nine Nether Centipede King hadn't truly mastered the Power of Laws, not counting as a complete Totem Level, its freakishly strong body made it difficult even for combat-savvy Totem Level powerhouses to deal with.

As for those like Tu Shanyue who weren't adept at fighting among Totem Levels...

There was absolutely no chance of victory!

The most pressing concern was...

Gu Xing was currently leading his two granddaughters toward the Qingqiu Clan!

Damn it!

You's fist clenched involuntarily.

But now he couldn't leave the Ghost Clan's Residence.

Lately, the Demonic Qi within the Forbidden Land had been disturbingly volatile, with the seal on the verge of breaking, requiring his personal supervision to suppress it.

"I hope that lad can be sharp..."

You gazed in the Qingqiu direction, a flicker of concern in his eyes.

If Gu Xing and his group happened to encounter that monster...

Elsewhere.

On the outskirts of the Qingqiu Clan Base, deep within the dense forest.

Dozens of dark figures lurked in the shadows, each emitting suffocating waves of Demonic Qi...

The weakest among them were Demon Race Monarch Peak powerhouses.

These were two squads from the Demon Race.

One squad was responsible for the Divine Pattern of the Qingqiu Clan, while the other was a Demon Race team that had traveled from the Longxia Country border for the Human Race Divine Pattern.

"To seize the Qingqiu Clan's Divine Pattern, we must first handle that old fox."

The Demon Race Commander in charge of Qingqiu affairs spoke slowly, his crimson eyes sweeping over all the present demons.

"But just relying on us..."

He shook his head.

Tu Shanyue, though not skilled in fighting, was nonetheless a genuine Totem Level powerhouse.

Attempting to forcibly seize the Divine Pattern with just these demons...was entirely impossible.

However, the Demon Race Commander responsible for Human Race affairs suddenly smirked:

"We indeed can't deal with that old fox, but..."

He deliberately elongated his tone, "We can use a borrowed blade."

The other demons exchanged puzzled glances.

But this demon offered no further explanation.

He had personal ties with the Demon Race Commander in charge of the Angel Race.

It was through this connection that he managed to persuade Mi Zhan to dispatch War Angels to negotiate with the Qingqiu Clan.

If the Qingqiu Clan were willing to cooperate with the Angel Race, everything would become much simpler.

But if the Qingqiu Clan refused...

The Demon Race Commander's lips curled into a cruel smile.

...

Qingqiu Clan Base, central hall.

"Lady Yue! It's bad!"

A Fox Race scout stumbled in, his voice quivering with fear.

"The frontline reconnaissance team reported that a King-level fierce beast is attacking us! At its speed...it will arrive in at most three days!"

Because the Qingqiu Clan sheltered many weak races, they utilized quite a few strange and unusual detection techniques.

The information had just returned through a special instrument capable of transmitting images over long distances.

Tu Shanyue and Tushan Yueli exchanged a look, both furrowing their brows relentlessly.

Nine Nether Centipede King!

A true King-level fierce beast!

With Totem Level strength!

Given the current strength of the Qingqiu Clan, defeating it was entirely impossible.

Moreover, if this Centipede King went berserk, then the entire Qingqiu Clan couldn't have a single person escape alive at that time.

"Yueli, immediately organize the evacuation of the entire clan!" Tu Shanyue decisively commanded.

Facing a King-level fierce beast head-on was not a wise move, but it was still possible to avoid its sharpness.

However, Tushan Yueli looked troubled.

The clan affairs were typically her responsibility.

Thus, she understood just how large the population of the entire Qingqiu Base was.

How many among them had lost the ability to move, and how many were elderly, women, and children.

Her voice was somewhat tense:

"Mother...the time is too tight, there's simply no way to evacuate everyone..."

Upon hearing this, Tu Shanyue's expression instantly became grim.

Indeed, the weaker races sheltered by Qingqiu gave them a numerical advantage, but before a being like the Nine Nether Centipede King, numbers were meaningless...

Besides letting that monster have a bigger feast!

"Start the evacuation." She finally spoke solemnly, "Get as many out as possible...in two days, I'll personally hold it off."

Tushan Yueli gave her mother a deep look, swallowed her words.

Ultimately, she just nodded solemnly, turned on her heel, and hurriedly left to carry out the orders.

The entire Qingqiu Clan instantly fell into chaos upon receiving the news of a King-level fierce beast attack.

For these non-combatant races, even ordinary fierce beasts were a nightmare, not to mention a King-level beast standing at the apex!

"It's over...this is a King-level fierce beast..."

"Why is our fate so harsh? We've barely found a place to live, but now this disaster strikes."

"Alas! Perhaps this world simply doesn't allow the weak to survive..."

Desperate whispers spread among the crowd.

Tushan Yueli gazed at these weaker races whose faces were ashen, feeling waves of bitterness.

Three days were far too short; how difficult it was to transfer such a large population?

"Everyone calm down!"

Tushan Yueli's clear voice spread through every corner via Spiritual Power.

Miraculously, the restless crowd began to quiet down...

On ordinary days, this Princess appeared among them more often than the Empress herself.

If they had awe for Tu Shanyue, they felt sincere affection for Tushan Yueli.

Under countless hopeful eyes, Tushan Yueli took a deep breath:

"Please trust us, the Qingqiu Clan will stand with you, retreating only when the last person is safely evacuated!"

As her words faded, the surrounding Qingqiu Fox Race responded in unison:

"We obey the Princess's command."

Remarkably, even in the face of a King-level fierce beast's threat, these non-combatant Fox Race members showed no trace of fear in their eyes.

They stood upright in front of the weaker races, embodying the role of guardians through their actions.

Witnessing this, the surrounding crowd instantly calmed, no longer as frantic.

"Alright, we believe in the Princess, we mustn't cause trouble for the Princess."

"Yes, everyone quickly assist with transferring resources, prioritize getting the elderly, women, and children out first, let the youngsters help."

Watching the swiftly organized evacuation teams, Tushan Yueli's taut heartstrings finally relaxed a little.

As long as they've started moving!
