<div> "Huh? What's going on? The formation changed. Did something happen?"
 Leyvi and the others who were in the carriage heading back to the homestay suddenly saw the changes in the formation covering the Holy Cat City.
 They also heard a sonic boom in the sky shortly after.
 "This is the Grand Kitty Nine Layer Formation! It is only deployed if a threat above the Nascent Soul level comes attacking the city." Ava explained.
 Leyvi's eyebrow twitched. Who gave all these cat-based names? Holy Cat City and Grand Kitty Nine Layer Formation. Was it the city founder?
 "A Soul Formation expert is attacking the city? Are we going to be alright?" Leyvi was worried.
 That was a level they absolutely had no chance of surviving if they met. Heck, even a Nascent Soul realm cultivator could kill them easily.
 "You don't have to worry. Even if a Soul Transformation expert came, they couldn't harm the formation!" Ava reassured Leyvi with a smug face.
 Girl, why are you proud of it? It's not like you made it. Are you shameless like your brother, too? Leyvi said inwardly.
 "So we are safe here?" Layla asked.
 "That's right, we will be fine. But until the threat is gone, the city will be under a lockdown and nobody can enter or exit." She elaborated.
 "Hmm...I wonder who dared to attack the city?" Leyvi asked.
 "Probably another demonic beast. We saw a bunch of their skeletons in the museum. Maybe they will add a new one after this," Layla guessed.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Meanwhile, outside the east gate.
 Two figures hovering in the air, one was a hunched old man, and the other was a middle-aged man wearing a very dark green robe.
 "Master, everyone here has been captured. But a few escaped. What should we do now?" The black-robed man asked.
 He had always been following his master's orders, but he never knew what actually his master's real objective was. He would be scolded every time he asked.
 "Don't worry about a few who escaped. I already got what I needed. Now we can finally proceed with the final plan. You should go hide now. The city lord is here." The hunched old man instructed.
 Just as he finished his words, a loud sonic boom reached their ears. A woman with a cat ear headband and a white cat with a tiara appeared just near the gate. A cultivator at her level could easily fly through the air by manipulating Qi flow around the body to create an 'invisible path' that parts the air gently, preventing a sonic boom from occurring. However, Caterina didn't apply this method because she liked the boom.
 "Don't worry, I will deal with that guy. Tell the city's Law Enforcement Squad to stand by inside." Caterina ordered the city guard. In a lockdown, only some selected people could go in and out of the city freely.
 "Yes! City Lord!"
 After she went out, the smell of smoke and blood reached her nose. She had seen many things throughout her life, so this level of tragedy didn't faze her at all. However, she wondered where all the corpses were.
 "Ho? A peak Soul Formation retard who is one step away from kicking the bucket. Is this why you come to cause trouble? To show off the last spark before you die?" Caterina mocked, after seeing the hunched old man.
 While she was speaking, the dark-robed man had already retreated into the woods, as his master instructed. He couldn't do anything in a battle between two Soul Formation experts.
 "Now, don't say it like that. I could still live for a few decades, enough time to do something about it. But you are indeed right about me coming to cause trouble." The hunched old man replied with a scratchy voice.
 "What? Do you want to brag about killing a measly few thousand cultivators much weaker than you? I assume you are the retard who had been killing all the mortals in the surrounding areas too? That's what you want to be remembered for after you die?"
 "Actually, I have a better idea for that. Tell me your name and after you die, I'll put your corpse in my museum. You can join all other retards in there. That way, everyone who visits my city in the future will learn about the retarded hunched old man who is proud of killing a few nobodies." She continued mocking the old fart.
 "Kikiki, young lass, your mouth is really unfiltered, eh? A thousand years ago, we fled the continent because of your so-called 'Protectors', but a few of us came back to cause chaos again for fun. I didn't expect that this continent had become so boring since then." The hunched old man revealed his identity.
 "The remnants of the lawless cultivator in the past?" Caterina's expression turned vigilant as she scanned the surroundings.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> "Kikiki, you don't have to be so wary. I'm the only one here. I alone am enough to cause chaos here. My fellow evildoers are in the other regions, causing chaos as we speak."
 "Since you have been somewhere else for the past a thousand years, what's the point of coming back here? Just to cause chaos? Revenge?" Caterina questioned.
 "You see, in the past a thousand years, I joined a sect in another continent and had been learning new powers. I haven't been able to use them as much as I wanted because of some restrictions. But here, I can go all out with it. Kikiki!"
 "Hmph! Is it related to the creepy atmosphere here? Your new power doesn't seem too good." Caterina wasn't afraid.
 If there were more Soul Formation experts here, it would have been a bit troublesome, but the old fart alone? No problem.
 "Before this continent got purged again, I will have some fun first! Witness the power of my long range formation combined with the power of Necromancy! My chosen soldiers, receive the death energy I collected for the past few months!" The hunched old man flicked his hand and the giant bird cage opened again.
 Dark Qi poured out from the giant bird cage and seeped into the ground, dyeing it black. The flood of dark Qi then flowed into the city very fast towards the city center.
 A town around 100 kilometers north of Holy Cat City.
 "Formation Grandmaster Atok, look! There is black stuff flowing out of the formation!" A member of the Bureau of Investigation informed the formation expert they invited to decipher one of the many formations trapping towns and settlements lately.
 "What is this thing? It's going south very fast. It feels like Qi, but I've never seen a Qi like this. The aura feels very unsettling. Sigh, it seems like we are too late. Whatever this person who set up the formations wanted to do had started." Formation Grandmaster Atok commented.
 The same phenomena also happened simultaneously at over a hundred other places around the Holy Cat City within 200 kilometers range.
 Endless dark Qi pouring out of the formations dyed the ground black, forming rivers of black fluid. These black rivers were flowing quickly toward the same place, the Holy Cat City.
 Caterina frowned. She had never seen things like this. Her intuition told her that if she didn't stop this dark Qi, things would turn ugly.
 She brought out her favorite spirit weapons and equipped them instantly. They are a pair of cat claw gauntlets.
 "Meow Blades!"
 She clawed the air a few times and hundreds of wind blades slashed at the flowing dark Qi.
 Boom! Boom! Boom!
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> The earth was destroyed into pieces by the wind blades, but nothing happened to the dark Qi. It only dispersed for a little, gathered again, and resumed flowing into the city.
 "Kikiki. It's futile. This is a part of my long-range formation. Your incompetent Bureau of Investigation couldn't even decipher any of my formations in the past month, so you can keep dreaming of stopping my plan."
 "Even though my plan was discovered a bit earlier than I expected because of a malfunctioning formation, I didn't expect that this continent's formation knowledge hadn't progressed at all in the past thousand years. You couldn't even decipher a simple combination formation! Leading to this situation. Trash!" The hunched old man kept ridiculing the Cloud Continent.
 "Is the other continent that much advanced?" She mumbled. Caterina wasn't sure what the dark Qi would do, but if she kill the old fart first, maybe it will stop.
 "Luna! Let's kill him quickly!" Caterina ordered.
 "Meowkay!" Luna jumped from Caterina's shoulder and grew much bigger.
 However, she didn't become as big as a building like many demonic beasts people see in the beast tamer tournament, but only the size of a normal leopard.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m. Luna transformed into a big white cat with its pristine white fur glowing radiant. Her white fur carries intricate patterns that resemble celestial constellations or swirling clouds.
 They were the patterns symbolizing the awakened bloodline of the White Tiger Auspicious God Beast!
 It was the reason the General Level Demonic Tiger was so infatuated with Luna in the past and wanted to marry her. They awakened the same White Tiger bloodline!
 The Demonic Tiger saw this coincidence as fate and began to court her for a very long time. After all, the offspring of demonic beasts with identical bloodlines would also be born with the same bloodline.
 Furthermore, the offspring don't have to wait until they become a commander or a general level to have their bloodline awakened; it awakens the moment they are born.</div>
