Chapter 414: Continuing The Expedition (part2)

As the cultivators press forward. The air grows heavy with an ominous tension, and every step feels like an intrusion into a long-forgotten graveyard.

Suddenly, a low growl echoes through the valley, and the ground trembles. Out of the shadows, a group of beasts emerges. Twenty Heaven's Gate beasts, their eyes glowing with malevolent intent, encircle the expedition. Among them, two beasts stand out, their auras radiating the unmistakable power of late-stage Heaven's Gate Realm.

The sect masters and clan leaders spring into action, their movements fluid and decisive. Sect Master Zhou, his robe still stained from the previous battle, shouts, "We'll handle the Heaven's Gate beasts! Keep them away from the main group!"

The sect masters and clan leaders engage the beasts, drawing them away from the battlefield with coordinated attacks. Meanwhile, Town Lord Tian and Town Lord Kuro step forward to confront the two late-stage Heaven's Gate beasts.
