Just as the capital city was feeling the pressure, a commotion suddenly arose from behind the beasts. Xu Haoran focused his gaze and saw that behind the beasts, in the sky, hundreds of figures were flying through the snow on their swords. They continuously released spells from their hands, attacking the formation of the beasts. The sudden attack caused the beasts to fall into chaos, with many casualties.

The sudden appearance of these hundreds of figures, though insignificant compared to the nearly ten thousand beasts, caught the beasts off guard, causing them to panic immediately.

The panic of the beasts quickly spread from the back to the front. The beasts at the front, upon learning that reinforcements had arrived at the capital city, became even more panicked. At the same time, the Xu family disciples on the city walls, unable to see the figures in the dense snow, assumed that reinforcements had arrived from other cities.

In an instant, the crowd was invigorated, and they all shouted loudly, "Reinforcements have arrived! Reinforcements have arrived!"

The cheers echoed throughout the capital city, from the east to the west, from the west to the south, and then to the north. Li Wanpeng, Xiao Rugui, and Wu Meng also heard the cheers, their spirits lifted. They grabbed a nearby disciple who was cheering and asked excitedly and anxiously:

"Have reinforcements arrived? Where are they?"

"I don't know, the cheers came from over there."

The disciple pointed towards the cheering crowd, but when they looked around carefully, they saw no sign of the reinforcements. The cheers gradually died down, with only the Xu family's direction in the east still echoing with cheers.

Li Wanpeng, Xiao Rugui, and Wu Meng looked towards the east where the Xu family was stationed, thinking simultaneously:

"Could the Xu family be so lucky that the reinforcements came from the east? No, I have to go and see."

After giving orders to their subordinates, they each flew from the west, south, and north, heading towards the east on their swords.

In the east.

Xu Haoran focused his gaze on the back of the beasts. The cheers of the Xu family disciples had also stopped because they realized that the reinforcements numbered only a few hundred, like a small boat struggling in the sea of beasts, trying to advance towards the capital city.

Although these few hundred figures moved quickly, they were intercepted by flying beasts when they reached the middle of the beast formation. The ground beasts also looked up, spewing spells at the figures in the sky. Some of the figures began to fall from their swords, and were instantly devoured by the ground beasts.

Xu Haoran, on the city wall, finally recognized who these few hundred figures were, and tears streamed down his face. He shouted:

"Second Brother!"

He was about to fly out of the city on his sword but was held back by Xu Haoliang, who shouted in a mournful voice:

"Big Brother, you can't go out! This is not the time for you to show off your bravery; you are the clan leader! Do you understand? You are the clan leader!"

Xu Haoran shook off Xu Haoliang with a wave of his arms. He turned and kicked Xu Haoliang to the ground, his face pale as he shouted:

"Do you still remember I am the clan leader? This is all your fault!"

Xu Haoliang got up, his face also pale, and shouted hoarsely:

"I don't care what you say, but the family is in danger. Since you are the clan leader, you must take responsibility for the family! Your reckless bravery is not worthy of being the clan leader!"

Three figures descended gracefully from the sky, and Li Wanpeng, Xiao Rugui, and Wu Meng flew to Xu Haoran's side, asking loudly:

"Brother Haoran, where are the reinforcements?"

Xu Haoran fiercely flicked his sleeves and said coldly, "Where are the reinforcements? They are our Xu family disciples stationed in the Tongyou Valley. They must have discovered the loss of Changri Valley, Luofeng Ridge, and the main road, and have returned to reinforce the capital city."

His words left Li Wanpeng, Xiao Rugui, and Wu Meng feeling disappointed, but they had no regrets. They exchanged glances, said nothing, and flew off on their swords, heading back to the sections of the city wall they were guarding.

At this point, the beasts had recovered from their panic. They not only surrounded Xu Haobo and his group but also surged towards the city walls like a tidal wave.

The Xu family disciples on the city walls, realizing that the reinforcements were not from other cities but from their own family stationed in the Tongyou Valley, felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, almost fainting. Their morale plummeted, and within a short time, a large number of beasts had already stormed the city walls. Among those surrounded by the beasts, over a hundred of Xu Haobo's group had already died, leaving fewer than three hundred.

Just as it seemed that not only would Xu Haobo and his group be killed, but the capital city would also fall, a deafening roar suddenly came from the depths of the Cangmang Mountains!

"Roar~~"

"Roar~~"

"Roar~~"

"..."

The sound pierced the sky and spread out, the overwhelming pressure so intense that even from such a distance, all the beasts inside and outside the capital city fell to the ground. Even Xu Haoran and the others felt weak, almost falling to the ground.

It was the roar of high-level beasts from the depths of the Cangmang Mountains, and there was more than one. After the roars, the beasts seemed to have heard something from the high-level beasts and stopped attacking the city, turning to run towards the Cangmang Mountains.

The beasts in the sky also ignored Xu Haobo and his group, all of them fleeing the capital city. Even when they encountered Xu Li and other outer disciples running back on foot, the beasts did not bother with them, rushing towards the Cangmang Mountains as if afraid of being punished by the high-level beasts for returning late. As a result, over a dozen outer disciples died, not from being devoured by the beasts but from being trampled to death.

"Roar~~"

"Roar~~"

"Roar~~"

"..."

The high-level beasts roared in unison, and among them, Xu Ziyun, who was almost targeted by the high-level beasts, suddenly felt weak and fainted. Her hand loosened, and the beast-summoning talisman drifted away with the wind, while Xu Ziyan fell from the sky.

"Thud~~"

As water splashed, Xu Ziyun's body fell into a pond, sinking to the bottom.

Her body was not noticed by the beasts, and even if it had been, no beast would have cared, as they all chased after the direction the talisman had drifted.

Just as Xu Ziyun's body fell into the pond, a large snake head suddenly emerged from the water, its upper body rising high. On its back were a pair of golden wings. It turned its head to look at Xu Ziyun, who was sinking into the pond, its large tongue flicking in and out...
