More and more Tianqing Sect monks and independent cultivators arrived one after another. The monks in the city had already left the city defense formation and were fighting fiercely with the monsters outside the city.

These four fourth-level monsters have astonishingly different appearances.

Su Zi could only distinguish these monsters based on some characteristics. One of them looked like a pink jellyfish that had been magnified thousands of times. Its entire body was crystal clear, but like the other monsters, it also had a wisp of black air on its body.

The other one was a moray eel of comparable size to the red-blood python, with silver-white arcs flashing on its body. The other two were an octopus and a squid.

Their attacks vary.

Li Qingchen and Bai Qingqian were entangled by the giant jellyfish. The tentacles of the jellyfish were very flexible and had strong attack power. Li Qingchen and Bai Qingqian's sword moves had no advantage under its attack.

It also has a skill that can be used for both defense and offense. It can shoot out bubbles to wrap up the sword energy of the two people, and then throw it back to the two people like a ball. As long as it touches the bubbles, it will explode, and the sword energy inside will indiscriminately attack the two people.

For a while, Li Qingchen and the other man were evenly matched with the jellyfish.

The other three kept besieging Hanze.

The monster that was knocked to the ground by Hanze was a conger eel. It was extremely fast and its attacks were accompanied by electric arcs.

However, after only a dozen rounds of fighting, two fourth-level monsters had been killed by Hanze, one of which was the electric eel.

Those monsters that tried to bypass Hanze and the other two to attack Tianhai City suffered countless casualties, and the rest were also kept out by the monks in the city.

At this moment, another sharp and piercing roar suddenly came from the direction of the sea. Then, the monsters that had been frantically attacking Tianhai City raised their heads and roared, as if in response, and then began to retreat to the seaside like a tide.

Even the two fourth-level monsters that were still fighting fiercely with Han Ze and his men gave up the attack without hesitation the moment they heard the sound and joined the fleeing army.

Hanze only had time to kill one squid-like monster, while the remaining jellyfish that were fighting with Li Qingchen and the others escaped into the sea.

"The monster retreated?"

“We actually survived!”

"Thanks to the blessings of the immortals!"

"..."

Cheers rose one after another all around the city.

After accepting this fact, the people in the city knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of Su Zi and the others to express their gratitude. For a moment, the city was filled with all kinds of noisy sounds, some were shouting excitedly, some were sobbing excitedly, and some were wailing for their dead relatives.

They all celebrated their escape from death in various ways.

Li Qingchen and Bai Qingqian flew back to Su Zi and asked about her condition.

Su Zi quickly told his senior brother about the disappearance of the Lord of Tianhai City.

The eldest senior brother frowned. The mayor of Tianhai City was a cultivator in the Jindan stage. He used to be an outer sect elder of the Tianqing Sect. It was just that he was too old and could not see any breakthrough, so he hoped to apply for the position of the successor mayor of Tianhai City.

Li Qingchen didn't want to blame him for the monster's rebellion, so he passed all the information back to the sect.

Then he turned around and spoke to Su Zi and the others in a serious tone.

"These monsters seemed to have lost their minds before, but they were able to retreat in an orderly manner after hearing that sound. I think the guy who made the sound was the cause of this beast tide outbreak. If we leave it alone, I'm afraid something big will happen."

Su Zi talked about the matter of demonic infection that Yun Ye and Jin Yu had mentioned, and then expressed his own guess.

"It can make the demon beast whose mind is infected by the devil's energy retreat. Could it be that the one making the sound is a demon?"

"Demons?" Li Qingchen frowned, his face turned ugly, and then he seemed to have made up his mind, his expression stern. "I'm going to go over and check it out, you stay here and clean up the battlefield."

"No, I'll go with you. It's too dangerous for you to go alone." Bai Qingqian suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Li Qingchen shook his head and refused: "No, it will take some time for the disciples of Tianqing Sect to arrive. If we all leave, if those monsters come back again, the people here will fall into the dangerous situation just now."

"Big Brother, I'll go with you." Su Zi took a step forward and said, "I have Senior Han Ze and A Wu with me. If anything happens, we can help."

In the end, Li Qingchen couldn't persuade Su Zi and agreed to let her go.

Su Zi stayed in A Wu's space, while A Wu shrank in size and stayed beside Li Qingchen.

On the other side, Bai Qingqian led the cultivators to clean up the battlefield. There were at least 8,000 dead monsters. Although most of them were level 2 and level 1, the number was considerable. The materials from the monsters could be sold to refiners to refine magical weapons, and the snacks they exchanged for were enough for them to practice for a long time.

For them, it is a rare opportunity.

Before leaving, Su Zi conveyed Han Ze's words that the meat of these monsters cannot be eaten and it is best to burn them all.

The monks who had experienced the battle had seen the mad monsters, so they naturally would not seek death by eating their flesh.

As for ordinary people, they simply cannot withstand the effects of things containing spiritual energy, so it is even more impossible for them to eat them.

......

Li Qingchen followed behind the group of monsters, observing their movements with his spiritual sense.

These retreating monsters did not just return to the sea, they all left in the same direction.

Although those third- and fourth-level monsters had long since disappeared, Li Qingchen guessed that they must have gone forward.

After following the herd of beasts towards the center of the sea for a long time, Li Qingchen's spiritual sense detected an invisible wall, which was a barrier.

How could there be a barrier on this island?

Li Qingchen was confused.

This place is at least five or six hundred miles away from the shore, and normal cultivators will not approach this place because the closer you get to the center of the sea, the higher the chance of encountering high-level monsters.

Normally, there would be at least a peak-level second-order monster appearing in such a place, but within the range of Li Qingchen's spiritual awareness, he did not find a single monster.

He is now in the Nascent Soul stage, and the range of his spiritual sense can reach at least a hundred miles.

What shocked him even more was that his spiritual sense was unable to detect the size of this barrier.

Li Qingchen did not rush to try to enter the barrier, but began to explore along the barrier. Only after he understood the size of the barrier did he call Su Zi out.

"I just checked and found that there might be an island inside this barrier."

"Do you want to go in? There is no space restriction here. Awu can take us in."

Su Zi also checked it out and came to a conclusion.
