My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Nothing happened all night, and Qi Yu stood by the window all night.

When Su Yue woke up, she was surprised to see Qi Yu standing by the window, dressed in thin clothes.

"Husband, what's wrong? Why are you up so early?"

Qi Yu turned around, smiled, and said, "It's alright, my wife, you can sleep a little longer. I'll go prepare breakfast for you!"

Premonitions are unfounded, and this time they seem to have little to do with me, yet there seems to be a slight connection.

This feeling is amazing!

Su Yue blinked, then looked south as well.

I had a feeling that something was getting closer, but then it changed lanes midway!

Shaking her head, Su Yue got up and dressed.

The most important thing right now is to give birth to the child; nothing else matters.

……

Qi Yu spent the whole day looking south, and his sense of unease grew stronger and stronger.

Then, in the evening, a message reached the Blood God Cult.

The coastal forces in the east, including Tianya Haige, Qingyun Academy, and Luoxia Sect, were attacked by sea monsters last night. Yan Hai's territory has been occupied by the monsters, resulting in heavy losses.

Qi Yu was slightly taken aback when he heard the news, and then suddenly looked up at the boundless blue sea.

Sea monster!

These are the ones!

Last night I felt something approaching, and after I discovered it, I immediately changed course and headed east.

So those must be sea monsters!

Did these sea monsters suddenly change course because they discovered I was here?

There are reasons for this, but that's probably not the whole story.

Including himself, there are now at least six peak Dao Integration Realm cultivators on Blood God Island. Taking over Blood God Island will inevitably come at a heavy price.

So these sea monsters temporarily changed their course, took a detour, and headed east.

Pick the softest persimmon!

It seems these monsters are quite intelligent; I thought they were just a bunch of seafood.

Upon receiving the news, Qi Yu immediately went to discuss it with Su Chengying.

Blood God Island is located right by the sea, making it a likely target for monster attacks.

Blood God Island will definitely not be able to withstand the hordes of sea monsters that come with it.

Upon meeting Su Chengying, Qi Yu voiced his concerns, but to his surprise, Su Chengying didn't seem to care much.

Seeing Su Chengying's reaction, Qi Yu couldn't say anything more.

But I still can't help but have some worries!

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. After occupying Yan Hai, the sea monster began to move eastward. All the towns and villages it encountered along the way were trampled by the sea monster, and all the people living in them were devoured by the sea monster.

And this was just the beginning; beast tides of varying sizes appeared across the mainland.

The land monsters originally lived in the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the south, but now they seemed to have made a pact and attacked the mainland together.

The Li Huo Dynasty, which borders the Ten Thousand Mountains, was the first to be hit. In just one night, a third of its territory was occupied by demonic beasts, and millions of people were killed or injured!

Wherever the monsters went, not a single survivor remained!

Everyone then realized the seriousness of the situation; this was a beast tide, not just a few scattered monsters!

Beast Tide!

These are two terrifying words etched into everyone's soul.

Two thousand five hundred years ago, a beast tide also occurred. On that occasion, it was the White Egret Academy, the predecessor of Qingyun Academy, that took the lead and gathered the power of the entire continent to barely suppress the beast tide and gain a chance to catch their breath.

During that beast tide, no fewer than twenty Quasi-Saints died!

Of the three near-saints of Bailu Academy, two died and one was seriously injured, suffering severe damage.

Bailu Academy was also trampled to the ground by the beast tide, and countless Confucian disciples died in battle.

This was the first transformation Confucianism underwent after the time of the Confucian sage, and also the first time that Confucian practices were interrupted.

The beast tide at that time consisted only of monsters from the Hundred Thousand Mountains and did not include sea monsters.

The monsters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains almost flattened the continent, and now sea monsters have been added to the mix.

What's most disheartening is that there is no sage in this era!

Among the demonic beasts, there are quite a few at the Quasi-Saint level!

The forces that had initially remained in a wait-and-see mode also began to take action, knowing that if they did not, the continent might really be trampled by monsters.

They had all read history books and knew about the tragic scenes of 2,500 years ago.

The first to speak up was Tianya Haige. Its leader, Lin Shaolong, sent letters to various forces, inviting them to Mohai City to discuss the beast tide.

Qi Yu, now the head coach, also received a letter from Lin Shaolong, his eyes narrowing slightly.

To be honest, he didn't want to go, but he had no choice.

Moreover, Lin Shaolong was very sincere. He chose Mohai City as the venue for the gathering, rather than their Hague Island, which meant that he wouldn't do anything and that this wasn't a trap.

The Demonic Sect has been almost completely unified by Su Yue, and on the righteous side, Tianya Haige has also been largely integrated.

The righteous and the demonic paths have basically been unified.

If nothing unexpected happens, next year should see a major battle between good and evil.

But then, the beast tide arrived.

With a formidable enemy at hand, now is not the time for a bloody battle.

Taoism is still developing. If the mainland is in turmoil, how can Taoism continue to develop?

Moreover, if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. Everyone living on the mainland is in the same boat. If the continent is really trampled by the beast tide, no one can escape.

Qi Yu found Su Yue and showed her the letter.

After reading it, Su Yue pondered for a while before speaking.

"The Blood God Sect can hold off some of the monsters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the south, but as for the sea monsters in the east, I am powerless."

The Demonic Cult's territory is basically located along the southern coast, near the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The righteous path is mostly concentrated in the east and the central part of the continent, while the north is the gathering place of dynasties.

The West is the Western Regions, a very desolate place, mostly sandy land, and the temperature is hot.

There were still countless small kingdoms in the Western Regions, and no powerful nation had emerged.

The strongest entrenched forces should be the Passepartout Trading Company and the First Building.

Further west lies a desolate wasteland, uninhabited for thousands of miles, devoid of even vegetation. No one who has ventured in has ever returned alive; it is a forbidden zone, much like the Arctic ice plains.

Su Yue unified the Demonic Sect, so all she could do was defend against the demonic beasts of the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the south; there was nothing else she could do.

Su Yue wouldn't be foolish enough to travel thousands of miles to help the righteous path.

They'd be lucky if they didn't kick someone when they're down; there's no way they'd offer any help.

Having received Su Yue's reply, Qi Yu immediately wrote to Qin Xiu, asking Qin Xiu to attend the gathering in his place.

Su Yue watched Qi Yu write the letter from the side, looking puzzled, and asked, "Husband, aren't you going by yourself?"

Qi Yu turned his head and smiled, "You are number one. Even if the continent is destroyed, I will stay by your side. You are the most important."

Upon hearing this, Su Yue's lips curled up slightly, her eyes full of smiles.

Chapter Fifty-Eight: Ugly Faces

A beast tide has broken out on the mainland, causing countless people to panic.

The fear hidden in their bloodline genes reminded them once again of the terror of being dominated by the beast tide.

The dynasties in the north fared better, but the forces and people in the south and the eastern coastal areas suffered terribly.

In just a few days, countless cities and villages were occupied by demonic beasts. Countless demonic beasts surged forward like a tide, leaving no survivors in their wake.

Led by Tianya Haige, countless forces gathered in Mohai City to discuss the important matter of fighting against the demonic beasts.

The remaining twelve dynasties in the north also sent envoys to participate.

Meanwhile, Qingyun Academy, as the master of Mohai City, has arranged accommodations.

Surprisingly, most forces, including Tianya Haige and Ziqige, could only live in the manors arranged by the Confucian school.

However, the Taoist disciples were invited into Qingyun Academy by the Confucian scholars.

This stark treatment has prompted some people to have more to think.

Confucianism and Taoism are both legacies from the ancient times of the sages, with unfathomable depths and deeply ingrained, popular status.

In the beginning, both companies were leaders of the righteous path, and were undoubtedly the dominant forces.

However, as time went by, both Confucianism and Taoism were impacted and began to decline, which led to the rise of these later forces.

……

The meeting to discuss a joint effort to combat the beast tide took place at Qingyun Academy.

Numerous sect leaders and representatives gathered together, sitting upright in the hall.

The Confucian scholars, as the hosts, sat at the head of the table, followed by the Taoist disciples, while opposite the Taoists was Lin Yuchen, the young master of Tianya Haige.

Tianya Haige is the undisputed leader of the righteous alliance, but this does not include Taoism.

Because Taoism did not join their so-called alliance, but chose to remain neutral.
