"Surround Elder Wang's cave mansion, everyone! Today, as two hundred thousand Taihao Cultivators, even if we suffer heavy casualties, we swear to slay this beast!" A Golden Core Cultivator shouted as they prepared to avenge Wang Yi.

In their minds, this Demonic Beast could assassinate Wang Yi in the blink of an eye.

Sword cultivators were known for their unity and stubbornness, quick to engage in combat with anyone who provoked them. Most of them were tough and resilient individuals, which explained why the Cultivation World had never been in short supply of sword cultivators despite their formidable fighting abilities.

In response to the call, Taihao Sect disciples, regardless of whether they were at the Golden Core or Qi Cultivation stage, rushed towards Wang Yi's cave mansion. Their heads were filled with thoughts of avenging Wang Yi, completely oblivious to the Nascent Soul currently enduring a thunder tribulation in the sky.

If Wang Yi's physical body were to be killed, his Nascent Soul, not yet fully stabilized, would be unable to withstand such a powerful heavenly calamity. However, the Nascent Soul in the sky displayed no signs of weakness.

Wang Yi, who was still undergoing his tribulation, wanted to shout, "I'm not dead yet!" But he had to keep his lips sealed and focus on dealing with the thunder tribulation.

Before everyone could completely surround Wang Yi's cave mansion, they noticed that it was opening slightly again.

"Get ready, it's about to come out."

Everyone drew their weapons, prepared to unleash their strongest attacks at any moment.

At this moment, a massive figure burst out of the cave mansion, and all the cultivators who could approach it immediately sent their Flying Swords towards the huge figure.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" However, the massive figure seemed as lifeless as an inanimate object, allowing countless Flying Swords to strike it without resistance. When the figure fell to the ground motionless with a loud thud, everyone realized that this Tier-4 Demonic Beast had already died.

"Did we really kill a Tier-4 Demonic Beast with just one attack?" someone questioned with skepticism.

"Too optimistic. Didn't it remain motionless in the sky?" another pointed out.

"It must have been thrown out after being slain."

"A while ago, Elder Wang's older brother visited here. Could it have been him?"

"Yes, I saw him too. With Elder Wang's exceptional talent, his older brother must be equally remarkable."

As the crowd speculated, Wang Yi's tribulation finally ended. The thunder and lightning ceased, and Imperial Elixir rained down from the sky.

At this moment, Wang Yi had finally overcome the thunder tribulation. Perhaps due to his exceptional talent, his tribulation was much stronger than others', and as a result, a far larger amount of Imperial Elixir fell.

"Thank you, fellow sect members, for your assistance. Wang Yi is truly grateful."

Wang Yi accepted the Imperial Elixirs falling from the sky while expressing his thanks to his fellow sect members. Although their contributions were not significant, their willingness to help was worth his gratitude.

At this time, the two Demonic Beasts in the sky saw that the situation was dire, especially after their companion died under mysterious circumstances. They didn't dare to stay any longer and transformed into streaks of light, retreating.

At this moment, Taihao Sect's ancestor descended from the sky and landed at the entrance of Wang Yi's cave mansion.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother, on successfully forming your Nascent Soul!"

Taihao Ancestor warmly congratulated Wang Yi. With Wang Yi's advancement, the pressure on him would also decrease in future battles.

"Thank you for your guidance and care throughout, Senior Brother."

"You don't need to be so polite, Junior Brother. How about introducing me to the experts hidden in your cave mansion?" Taihao Ancestor smiled.

"Senior Brother, please come in," Wang Yi led Taihao Ancestor into the cave mansion. "This is my elder brother, who came specifically to visit me."

"I have the honor of meeting you, Fellow Daoist. I am Wang Hong," Wang Hong greeted with a courteous gesture.

"I am Zhou Yuan. Nice to meet you," Zhou Yuan replied.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wang Yi left them to stay in his cave mansion and stepped outside to have a private conversation with Feng Ai, who had hidden away somewhere. Then he returned to the cave mansion and went into seclusion.

With Wang Yi in seclusion, Wang Hong temporarily acted as the host of the cave mansion, pouring a cup of Spirit Tea for Zhou Yuan and engaging in casual conversation.

"Zhou Fellow Daoist, during my recent travels in East Zhou, I received some troubling news. It seems that before long, the entire Hezhou continent may face a great calamity for the Human Clan."

Wang Hong proceeded to share the information he had acquired from the Demon Clan with Zhou Yuan.

In the near future, survival for humanity on Hezhou would undoubtedly become extremely difficult. Wang Hong didn't want Wang Yi to continue taking unnecessary risks here.

Knowing Wang Yi well, he knew that Wang Yi wouldn't leave alone if he were to depart. Therefore, he had no choice but to help facilitate the relocation of the entire Taihao Sect.

Zhou Yuan was deeply shocked to hear this news. He hadn't expected that the Demon Clan's attack on East Zhou would have such far-reaching consequences.

"There's no longer any need to stay in Hezhou. Remaining here would be a struggle for survival, and it's better to seek opportunities in a broader world," Wang Hong suggested. With so few Human Clan members left in Hezhou, it was difficult to sustain their existence.

"Wang Fellow Daoist's suggestion makes sense, but Taihao Sect has a large population and abundant resources. It won't be easy to relocate," Zhou Yuan said with a hint of worry.

"If you agree, I can assist Taihao Sect in transporting both people and resources to a safe location," Wang Hong offered.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your generous assistance. On behalf of Taihao Sect, I express our deepest gratitude. Fellow Daoist is our benefactor," Zhou Yuan replied, bowing deeply to show his appreciation.

He understood the magnitude of Wang Hong's help. Without it, they would have had only two options: gradual decline or attempting to escape by sea, which would have required leaving behind a significant portion of their people and resources, with no guarantee of safety when crossing the Desolate Spirit Sea.

"Zhou Fellow Daoist, you can start organizing the manpower and resources. I will also need some time to gather a fleet," Wang Hong suggested.

The two of them then discussed the details and exchanged some cultivation insights.

Since Wang Yi was still consolidating his realm in seclusion, Wang Hong temporarily stayed in Taihao Sect, focusing on his cultivation and taking Pill supplements every day.

A month later, after successfully refining a Pill, Wang Hong finally reached the later stage of Nascent Soul. His cultivation speed had increased significantly since he had enhanced his aptitude with the Profound Spirit Elixir and benefited from the Pill supplements.

Afterward, he continued to practice to stabilize his newly attained realm. Two months later, both Wang Hong and Wang Yi emerged from seclusion.

With everything settled on this end, Wang Hong prepared to return. Although both Sects had endured the turmoil of war and their numbers were greatly reduced, they were still among the six major Sects. They possessed substantial manpower and resources, and he needed to go back to gather a fleet for their relocation.
