No trace of any human and profound beast… The energy flow in this place is abnormal, too. What's going on? Yun Lintian fell into deep thoughts as he saw profound energy constantly flying toward the center of the forest's direction. It was as if it had been sucked away. Additionally, the strange behavior of that crimson woman and Abyssal Devourer… Could it be Fallen Dragon is about to come out?
Thinking of this, Yun Lintian quickly located the formation node. He turned to Qin Yiran and Qin Yuyan. "I'll start now. We don't have much time left."
Qin Yuyan nodded. "You can be at ease and leave the rest to us."
Yun Lintian turned around and used swept the dust on the formation node away. Afterward, he used a small knife to dig around the formation node and arranged some new formation stones into it. His connecting speed was extremely fast, making Qin Yuyan and Qin Yiran look at him in amazement.
Since there was no danger around here, Yun Lintian did not activate any defensive formation. He solely focused on setting up the new formation as fast as he could.
Twenty minutes later, Yun Lintian did the final check and let out a long breath after confirming everything was working fine.
"Let's go." Yun Lintian made some concealment on the formation node and quickly brought Qin Yiran and Qin Yuyan in the north direction.

"How long do we need, Young Master Tian? We are unable to hold on any longer." Yang Chen sent a profound lion beast away with his fire sword shadow and turned to shout at Tian Jiuyi, who hurriedly set up the formation.
Standing before Yang Chen was a tide of Origin and Earth Profound Beasts, trying to break the defensive barrier. The number of them was no less than a hundred.
"Two minutes. Give me two minutes!" Tian Jiuyi responded. His forehead was full of sweat, and his hands continued to move restlessly.
Contrasted to Yun Lintian's group, Tian Jiuyi and others had been constantly harassed by a large group of profound beasts along the way to this place. Even when he activated the defensive formation, the pressure on Yang Chen and others did not decrease in the slightest.
Bai Qingyi panted heavily as he had just recovered from serious injuries. He could not display his full strength for the time being.
The jade fan in his hand kept rotating and sent out many profound energy storms toward the group of profound beasts outside the defensive formation. All of his attacks could only knock them away with zero chance of killing them.
Meanwhile, Chu Heng was not much different from Bai Qingyi and Yang Chen. He frantically fended off the profound beasts and kept glancing at Chu Mi, fearing she would get injured.
"Fall back, Little Mi." Chu Heng said while sharing a burden from Chu Mi.
Chu Mi did not refuse and quickly retreated to Tian Jiuyi's side. Her complexion was pale. The earlier battle had drained a large portion of her profound energy.
Seeing everyone was busy, she glanced at Tian Jiuyi, and a strange light flashed across her eyes. A small silver bead silently appeared in her palm. With a flick of her wrist, the silver bead shot straight into the formation node and disappeared as if nothing had happened.
Tian Jiuyi was completely unaware of Chu Mi's small action as his mind was fully occupied by connecting between the new formation stones and the formation node. Two minutes later, he stood up and shouted. "Done! We can leave now."
"Let's go!" Yang Chen yelled, and his aura surged. Countless fire sword shadows appeared around him and speedily shot forward to the group of profound beasts, causing them to scatter away.
Without hesitation, everyone quickly rushed out of the formation and ran toward the west side of the forest with Tian Jiuyi on the lead while Yang Chen at the rear.
Surprisingly, the profound beasts could not catch up to them. It was completely different from the earlier scene. The group of profound beasts seemed to give up chasing them just like that. Their weird behavior made everyone puzzled but also gave them relief.
"Contact Yun Lintian." Tian Jiuyi said while checking the path ahead vigilantly.
Chu Mi hurriedly volunteered and contacted Yun Lintian. "Brother Yun, we are heading to the west point now. How about you?"
A moment later, Yun Lintian replied. "We are about to reach the north side now. What is taking you so long?"
Chu Mi had a surprised expression as she replied. "We've encountered the profound beast tide. You didn't meet one, Brother Yun?"
"Profound beast tide?… No, we haven't encountered anyone so far." Yun Lintian felt weird. Why were all the profound beasts went to Tian Jiuyi's side but not him?
"Strange. Why is that?" Chu Mi muttered.
"What is it?" Tian Jiuyi turned to ask when he saw Chu Mi's weird expression.
Chu Mi responded. "Brother Yun said he didn't encounter anyone on his side."
Tian Jiuyi frowned and made a few hand seals. A light curtain appeared, and there was nothing but an empty forest displayed on it. This place was the north area that Yun Lintian was about to reach.
"There's really nothing. What's going on?" Tian Jiuyi then changed for a few places, and the same scene appeared everywhere; not even a single trace of the human and profound beast could be seen.
Tian Jiuyi's mind spun rapidly. He tried to recall whether there was a record of this kind of situation in his head. In the end, he didn't find anything. This was genuinely a new situation.
"I know everyone is tired right now. However, we need to increase our speed. I feel something bad is about to happen." Tian Jiuyi told everyone solemnly and gave them the wind talismans.
Everyone didn't hesitate to use the talisman, and their speed increased tremendously.. It was estimated they would reach the west side within an hour.
