Dark clouds loomed over the crumbling Blue Dream City, filled with slaughter, helplessness, fear and dread. Nearly all the warriors had become fatigued, unable to continue their fight. Their morale was running low as more became severely injured. Even so, they did their best attempt to avoid entering a state of qi deviation.
Sounds of roaring beasts of all ranks and sizes ranged outside and inside the city. They attacked anything and everything that stood against their way. It almost seems as if Blue Dream City will become a ruin just like those before them.
Observing this scene, Silver showed an indifferent facial expression. To him, it was another part of life but to the others, it was their home and life. He watched three individuals running around slaying hundreds of beasts in their way. However, it only seemed their effort may seem futile due to the amount of their small party.
Yet, he could only break his indifferent expression with a light smile and nod as he continued to observe.
"What should we do?" asked Yong Satay, fighting beside Bu Keng.
Yong Satay was frightened within his heart. They were unaware of the destruction of the Kiu Clan caused by Che Myoga as they waited for Kiu Thao. Although they couldn't grasp the situation at hand, they continued slaughtering the beasts.
"It seems brother Silver won't give us a helping hand until it's required," added Bu Keng looking at Yong Satay with a puzzled expression. He too felt the same within his heart as Yong Satay.
"From what brother Silver had told me, he will help us only if our life is endangered," answered Yong Dango, scrunching her eyebrows.
"I feel like he's testing us to see how far we've gotten in our path of cultivation. This could be considered training for all three of us. Only a life and death situation can let us break through the bottleneck. We'll split up and assist the other groups, we'll regroup once it settles down."
"Let's go!" exclaimed Bu Keng, as the rest split in different directions.
*Woosh!*
"Hmm? Who are you?" asked the hooded individual as Silver appeared before them. As an early stage Divine Emperor, the man could not sense Silver's cultivation. Quickly, five other individuals joined in, surrounding Silver, bringing out their weapons.
The group felt startled. Their fear crept into their hearts as they tightly gripped their weapons. Anybody would feel afraid if a person appeared out of nowhere escaping their detection. They only noticed when their leader spoke out, thus alerting them into an attack formation.
"No privacy, eh? Let's take this elsewhere," responded Silver, grabbing the leader of the group and vanishing away from them.
In that mere instant, the group of five attacked where Silver once stood. However, they felt flustered as if their leader and the weird man never had been there. Seeing this scene, everyone exclaimed in shock.
"Find them!" shouted one of the five.
"Kill anything and anyone suspicious!"
**Woosh!
Waves of red fists flew across the sky, blasting the beasts into pieces as they came in contact with it. They furiously roared, trying to charge at the man punching out the red fists. Even the strongest evolved ranked beast could only transform into mush against it.
**Boom
Yong Satay turned his head to find where the reverberating sound came from, only to see the old man from the restaurant fighting a humongous blue bird from afar. He could tell the old man was having problems defeating the blue bird with a dangerous miasma covering its body. The way the beast fought seemed as if it lost it's rationality as the miasma thickened.
Finishing off the last crowd of beasts, Yong Satay sped up to the fight with an intent to support the old man. Gathering the red qi into his fist, he blasted a giant red fist towards the humongous deranged blue bird. Luckily, they weren't too far or he would be too late.

"My friend, it seems you no longer have control of yourself . . . pity," mumbled Wang Bo continuing his onslaughts of attacks.
"Hmm?"
Wang Bo quickly moved away from the giant red fist that punched right at Emperor Blue Feather's left eye. An anguish scream broke the intensity of the battle he was in. However, the miasma covering Emperor Blue Feather diminished slightly while angering the bird.
"What a strong fist art!"
Wang Bo turned his head, noticing a young man with a sharp jawline and a touch of baby fat on his cheeks. His black hair was short with a pair of bulky brick shape eyebrows uglifying his face. His golden eyes gave a tinge of red emanating within his pupils complimenting his straight nose and average grin.
Yong Satay stood shirtless showing off his pronounced collar bones and toned physique in a marginally loose black pants with golden lining. He appeared like a deity cursed by the brick shaped eyebrows, almost like a God of War with qi shrouding him in a red sheen.
This wasn't the first time Wang Bo had met someone like Yong Satay since the reign of the demonic emperors. In the past, he met many like him but they have already hidden or died by the hands of the demonic emperors. To him, Yong Satay's potential must have made its appearance during the crisis.
"Thank you for helping me," spoke Wang Bo. His body was riddled cuts, bruises, and deep punctures from Emperor Blue Feather. The punch allowed him some breathing room to recuperate, even for a few seconds.
"I would like to know my benefactor's name?"
"Yong Satay of the Kiu Clan!" answered Yong Satay, bowing to Wang Bo. After getting closer, he realized this was one of the old patriarchs of the Wang Clan, Wang Bo. He felt grateful for assisting such a well known individual and powerhouse of Blue Dream City.
"Kiu Clan? I never knew they had a talented clansman like you! I am Wang Bo of the Wang Clan. Let's cut the chit-chat and stop Emperor Blue Feather. It seems like he isn't himself anymore."
"Yes sir!"
**ROAR
The Wang Clan were surrounded by a swarm of demon beasts, over a hundred, madly charging against the experts that were fending them off. Wang Qiang felt a moment of despair, busy going against two king ranked beasts which took some time to deal with. Soon, the swarm continued to break their formation while his son, Wang Lei, tried to protect the weaker members.
Flying above, seeing this scene, Yong Dango dropped in from the air while cutting down a few beasts.
**CLANG
Not long after, Bu Keng saw Yong Dango from afar and saw and recognized the patriarch of the Wang Clan, Wang Qiang, fighting against two king ranked beasts. Without much thought, he joined in and swung both his sabers at one of the king ranked beasts, alleviating the stress of two versus one.
**BOOM
An enormous King Ranked Bronze Boar broke through a building behind them, charging at Bu Keng. Noticing the boar charging towards him, Bu Keng prepared himself and dodged the incoming charge. As he dodged the boar, cutting off its head with his right saber, he blocked the attack with his left saber from the king ranked beast.
After a few more exchanges, both king ranked beasts fell from the blades of both Wang Qiang and Bu Keng. Not long after, Yong Dango finished up the remnants of zombies and beasts around the weak clan members.
**BANG
**BANG
"Where am I?" asked the leader after being captured by Silver.
"Just a sealed space that you can't escape nor can anyone find, hear and see you," explained Silver looking at the hooded individual before him.
"I'll ask nicely, demon. Why are you attacking Blue Dream City?"
"Heh, looks like we've been found out. I would never tell the likes of you human trash. Dying is more pleasant than betraying my king!" sneered the hooded demon.
"Well I did ask nicely…" mumbled Silver gripping his hand over the demon's head, instantly killing them while extracting the necessary information.
Sadly, the demon didn't know how powerful Silver was or they would have given up quickly. The ability to extract memories from the mind and soul was something they never considered, something told from an ancient legend.
Silver stood there, perusing through the demon's memories to find the motive for the destruction of Blue Dream City. Once he got the necessary information, Silver scrunched his eyebrows with a frown.
"It seems this world is more complicated than I thought," mumbled Silver disintegrating the lifeless demon body.
From what he learned, the demon clan found a way out of their entrapment. After hundreds of years of planning, with the help of the Great Ice and Flame War, they were able to create havoc within the world once more. This time around, it wasn't the king leading them but one of the demonic emperors. Based on the memories, it also seems they were searching for a culprit so they began operating at a large scale destruction in search for them.
Blue Dream City wasn't the only place being attacked, a few others over the nine continents were being invaded too.
These beast tides were a diversion from the truth. The nine emperors were intent on finding the culprit using any means necessary, even killing two thirds of the population would be something they wouldn't mind. After all, humans can birth more, so why should they care?
Thinking about it here, Silver wondered what they were searching for. Flinging the thought to the back of his mind, he continued to keep an eye on the city. Browsing through his spatial ring, he sent out four transmission jades to Bu Keng, Che Myoga, Yong Satay and Dango's locations.
All four grabbed the transmission jade, intently going through the contents within, crumbling the jade into dust and began their mission.
"Benefactor Yong Satay, are you alright?" asked Wang Bo as he kept countering Emperor Blue Feathers attack.
"Thanks for the concern, Wang Bo," smiled Kiu Thao after crumbling the transmission jade.
"My master servant is coming to give us a hand, while my other companions gather the survivors. "
"Oh?"
