Although the video only captured a shadowy figure,

this figure bore a striking resemblance to one from memory.

Especially with that commanding presence, the aura of unstoppable might, and that arrow shot.

Zhu Qingyu believed she couldn't be mistaken.

However,

that person was indeed very strong.

But could he really possess the strength to slay an Exotic Beast King?

"Qingyu, what are you talking about?" Dean Zheng asked, having overheard.

"Ah... Dean, I feel that the mysterious figure seems familiar," Zhu Qingyu recovered and voiced her thoughts.

Her words immediately drew everyone's attention; they turned to her, eyes filled with curiosity, and gathered around her.

"Familiar? Does that mean you know him? Do you know his name?"

"What's going on, Qingyu? Where have you seen such a figure?"

"In the Shackles Realm, Qingyu are you sure you weren't mistaken?"

Everyone spoke over each other, eager to uncover the mysterious person's identity.

The reason was simple: someone who could slaughter eight Exotic Beast Kings in a short time.

Such a person undoubtedly warrants attention, a true mighty hero, and most importantly, today's actions undoubtedly saved the entirety of Chang'an City—a hero indeed.

"It seems... it might be Lu Yuan, but I'm not sure," Zhu Qingyu said, revealing her guess.

She also recounted the situation in Qingyang City, where a Thunderous Arrow was unleashed.

Of course, it was just her thought, without any certainty.

As it was somewhat different from her memory.

Lu Yuan?

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

This name had indeed been increasingly prominent recently.

From his first appearance, he had offended both mighty forces of Wuzhou and Changsheng, even killed important figures, including the Southern Emperor, and was soon acclaimed alongside the likes of Winged Celestial God. After the Ancient Shu Mountain journey, there were already hints of him surpassing them.

Yet the issue was, in their eyes, Lu Yuan's prowess should only be at the Awakening Realm.

Might he have been hiding his power? But that seemed too exaggerated, right?

The Shackles Realm,

was where one could be king among Exotic Beasts.

In human society, he could also be king.

Commander Xu turned his head to look at Dean Zheng, eyes filled with doubt.

He had longer contact time with Lu Yuan, knowing more, thus wanted to hear his thoughts.

"This..." Dean Zheng tried to say something, but was quickly interrupted.

"Look quickly, that person is moving again."

The soldier monitoring the video spoke, drawing everyone's attention.

The identity issue could wait; the current focus remained on the beast tide. Though the Eight Great Exotic Beast Kings were dead, it didn't mean everything had ended. Consequently, they were curious about how the mysterious person would handle it.

Additionally, after everything ended, if he would come to Chang'an City, his identity would undoubtedly become clear then, won't it?

Meanwhile, on the battlefield,

Lu Yuan suppressed his aura.

The Heaven-Shaking Bow was placed into the Meridian Heaven-Repairing Furnace.

He glanced at the eight Shackles Realm Exotic Beast corpses, then turned his head, gazing at the beast tide.

In his eyes, brilliant light shone. Compared to the Exotic Beasts, though his form was minuscule, his aura was profoundly imposing.

With the overwhelming and unparalleled momentum just displayed, the thousands of Exotic Beasts before him were slightly agitated, some even retreated outright.

Their perception of danger far surpassed that of humans, particularly this human here, was truly terrifyingly strong.

Their kings were slain without the slightest resistance; the scene was too astounding.

So at this moment, the gaze of Lu Yuan alone,

suppressed a massive beast tide.

Yet, he did nothing, standing there, just beckoned.

The Golden-winged Roc immediately descended, without circling, slightly lowering its head.

It knew its master was strong, but not to such an extent—truly terrifying.

Momentarily, it even wondered if the being was a celestial descending upon the world.

"Tell them that from today forth, if they refrain from invading human cities and slaughtering humans, they may return safely," Lu Yuan spoke. He certainly didn't intend to massacre all Exotic Beasts as it wasn't necessary.

After all, the war between humans and Exotic Beasts doesn't have to end with the complete annihilation of one side.

The lowest among the Exotic Beasts were merely driven by the strong ones.

Slaughter wouldn't solve everything.

Moreover, without invincible energy,

both humans and Exotic Beasts were living beings of this world, unnecessary for perpetual enmity.

In the future, there might be common formidable enemies to face, possibly requiring the two to join forces.

"Understood," the Golden-winged Roc acknowledged the command, flapped its wings slightly,

and then appeared in front of the beast tide.

Screech~

It let out a long cry, echoing through the surrounding air.

The Exotic Beasts seemed to understand; the stronger ones at the forefront faced the Golden-winged Roc and Lu Yuan, mimicking human gestures, slightly lowered their heads as if expressing gratitude, then turned around and returned to the Qin Mountains.

Witnessing this, a slight smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face, his arms crossed.

Why did the beast tide retreat, even showing gestures of gratitude?

Was it gratitude for his mercy?

To some extent, yes.

But the fundamental reason was, for the beast tide, he wielded absolute power.

Just like humans, the Exotic Beast Kings like the White King weighed profits and losses.

Yet common Exotic Beasts couldn't escape being beasts.

Only formidable strength,

could truly make them submit.
