They all got back onto their horses and ran deeper into the forest.
Xuanyuan understood why he urged them to run away. The beasts were not initially heading that way to attack them. Someone had provoked them to head towards their group.
The people who wanted to kill him finally acted and now that they knew where he was, their team would only become in danger more and more.
Yan Liang realized it was a deliberate attack instigated by other people. If they stayed where they were to harvest the beasts' furs, they would eventually be surrounded by more beasts. He might be able to escape unharmed, but the disciples wouldn't come out unscathed. He couldn't afford to lose any of the disciples before they reached the nest of Mo.
"Someone did this to us." Xuanyuan said.
"I know. Those people wouldn't reveal themselves, but they wanted to kill us using the beasts." Yan Ziyun concluded. She was being trained as the next Head of the School of Yuehua, she was skilled at analysis. Also, she was ruthless when it came to her enemies.
"We don't know who's behind this. The only way out was to go to the nest as soon as possible and join the other brothers and sisters. Then they can’t attack us with so many people around." A bright light exploded from Yan Liang's sword, along with fierce fighting Qi, shredding every beast in front of them.
After four hours of running, the forest became more and more desolate and the earth hardened. Not even poisonous plants could survive here, let alone ordinary trees.
However, there were noises and Qi was gathered in front of them. They could smell blood.
They rushed even faster forward. The environment brightened with less and less trees. The sounds grew louder and noisier. There were people screaming, beasts howling. When they finally arrived at the source of the noise, they saw that the disciples were all fighting with numerous beasts. And there was even a beast that reached the king realm.
