The Upper Scenic Celestial is one of the four great ancestral courts of the Daoist Lineage, with a very long history.

All along, the Upper Scenic Celestial has shouldered a tremendously important mission, which is guarding Mo Yuan!

Mo Yuan extends for thousands of miles, inhabited by countless deceitful monsters and fierce beasts, a treacherous land without a doubt.

For hundreds of years, Mo Yuan has erupted in hundreds of deceitful disasters and beast tides. Without the suppression of Upper Scenic Celestial, it would undoubtedly cause significant impact on this world.

Therefore, no matter how dynasties rise and fall, the existence and mission of the Upper Scenic Celestial have never changed.

And as a Martial Artist practicing in the Upper Scenic Celestial Martial Pavilion, Zhang Yuan has the obligation to contribute when a deceit disaster beast tide erupts in Mo Yuan.

This obligation is imposed on all Martial Pavilion martial artists, with no possibility of exemption!

Those who disobey will die.

This is the consequence of not undertaking the obligation, without any justification to argue.

Zhang Yuan, along with a group of martial artists, rushed towards the vicinity of Mo Yuan at the fastest speed, and was subsequently assigned to a Guardian Platform.

Within the Upper Scenic Celestial region, along the cliff on the west side of the Grand Canyon, stone platforms protrude outward every two to three hundred steps.

These are Guardian Platforms, the frontline in guarding Mo Yuan!

Even before Zhang Yuan stepped onto the Guardian Platform, he saw the clouds in the canyon below churning like boiling, with the howls of fierce beasts and strange monsters ringing persistently, penetrating through the clouds and into his ears.

Although the sky was bright with sunshine, being at this location was chilling, with the Blood Evil Qi gushing out from Mo Yuan.

But when Zhang Yuan stood on the Guardian Platform, the chilling aura immediately dissipated.

These stone platforms evidently have arrays installed, and they have been activated to proactively isolate the external Blood Evil Qi.

This allows the martial artists guarding the Guardian Platform not to have to divert their True Qi and True Essence to combat.

Not only that, as Zhang Yuan just steadied himself, the stone platform beneath his feet rumbled, and a stone wall rose up in front and on both sides, encircling him for protection.

And within the confines of the three stone walls, lay weapons such as swords, spears, and hammers.

There were also three Iron Bows and a large number of arrows!

Zhang Yuan was amazed.

The depth of Upper Scenic Celestial’s resources is truly profound.

These numerous weapons were undoubtedly prepared for the martial artists stationed at the Guardian Platform, each piece of fine equipment, although not reaching the level of a Profound Artifact, collectively held considerable value.

And the same applies not just to one Guardian Platform, but potentially dozens, hundreds, possibly even thousands in total!

Zhang Yuan reached out and grabbed an Iron Bow.

He tested the string tension of the bow.

Although it could not match his Iron-Clad Bow, it wasn’t too far behind.

Zhang Yuan pondered silently that Mo Yuan Grand Canyon stretched for thousands of miles, it was impossible for every place to be guarded, right?

Moreover, Upper Scenic Celestial is situated on the west of Mo Yuan, so who is guarding the east side?

Woo~

The sudden sound of a horn interrupted Zhang Yuan’s thoughts.

The next moment, the cloud sea of the canyon in front of him suddenly exploded, and a dark gray eagle burst through the clouds, shooting up into the sky.

This black eagle soared high into the sky, then spread its talons which shone with a black light.

Swooping towards Zhang Yuan!

Poof!

Before the gray eagle could get close to Zhang Yuan, a high-speed rotating Iron Arrow pierced through its chest first.

Blood mist trailing as it exited from its back.

Yelp~

Unexpectedly caught off guard, the gray eagle let out a shrill cry, its body instantaneously lost balance, plummeting downward.

Disappearing in the blink of an eye.

And this was just the beginning!

The gray eagle had just been shot down by Zhang Yuan when new black eagles burst out of the clouds.

Hundreds of them in dense numbers!

These gray eagles let out long, sharp cries, flapping their long wings, flocking towards one Guardian Platform after another.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Some of the gray eagles flew high into the sky, shooting a series of feathers from above.

Their wings seemed to be forged from refined iron, with piercing sound and rapid flight speed.

Zhang Yuan had just shot his second arrow, when dozens of Iron Feathers were showering down upon him.

Zhang Yuan’s gaze flickered, and he suddenly stepped forward, his right palm striking out through the air!

Great Stone-Throwing Hand, Cloud Dispelling Technique!

The "Great Stone-Throwing Hand" is a Qi Entry Realm Palm Technique, acquired by Zhang Yuan after vanquishing a Tier Five expert and confiscating his belongings.

Due to limited time and energy, and usually using a saber most often, he hasn’t devoted much effort to this Palm Technique; currently, he’s just at the entry level.

But Zhang Yuan had already mastered all the Palm Techniques of "Great Stone-Throwing Hand."

Even though he hasn’t achieved much in this Palm Technique.

Yet relying on the strong Primordial True Power, this palm still unleashed a momentum as if mountains were being overturned!

The Iron Feathers shooting towards him were met head-on with the vigorous and forceful Palm Force, scattering wildly, even breaking into several pieces.

Just at this time, a gray eagle swooped down from above Zhang Yuan.

Its curved, sharp beak fiercely pecking towards his head.

But what it faced was a flash of dazzling Sword Aura!

Hiss!

The moment the blade light appeared, a gray eagle’s head instantly fell off.

Zhang Yuan, dropping the Iron Bow held in his left hand, swiftly swung out the Taowu Saber which he had just taken from his Storage Space, and slashed forward. The Sword Aura, infused with Blood Evil Qi, was like a stream of light, swiftly cutting through a black eagle that was sweeping towards the Guardian Platform.

Slashing it to shreds!

He stood firm on this stone platform, facing the oncoming raptors without dodging or evading, the Fierce Soldiers in his hands radiating layers of blood light, cutting down the attacking black eagles one by one.

Feathers flew in fragments, eagle’s blood rained down, splattering sporadic marks on the Guardian Platform in the blink of an eye.

And right at this moment, a dark azure python silently slithered up the steep rock wall, quickly approaching the Guardian Platform.

Its body covered with thick scales, its burly frame brimming with the strength to easily strangle tigers and leopards, while a pair of blood-red serpent eyes exuded a bloodthirsty ruthlessness.

This python had clearly targeted Zhang Yuan’s location, but its actions were extremely cautious, ascending from beneath the stone platform before redirecting.

Stealthily sneaking up onto the Guardian Platform from Zhang Yuan’s right rear.

However, just as the cunning python emerged, Zhang Yuan, as if having eyes in the back of his head, suddenly turned and slashed.

The Taowu Saber, with a speed swift as lightning, cleaved off half the python’s head!

Having dealt with this ambushing foe, Zhang Yuan suddenly leapt high into the air, slashing down a gray eagle attempting to escape.

At that moment, he looked down from a higher vantage point, seeing a great pit had already been opened in the cloud sea below.

So dark that the situation below could not be discerned.

With large amounts of Blood Evil Qi surging out from the cloud pit.

Zhang Yuan landed back on the stone platform, and couldn’t help letting out a long breath.

His gaze swept around, seeing that on the Guardian Platform to his right, dozens of gray eagles were still besieging a Guardian.

This martial artist was evidently in great trouble.

Zhang Yuan grabbed the Iron Bow from the ground, swiftly stringing an Iron Arrow.

Whoosh!

The arrow pierced through the air, instantly spanning a distance of two or three hundred steps, shooting down a black eagle!

Then the second, third, fourth...
