Outside Yuyao City.
Chen Jingtian glanced at the army of human cultivators. The Qi Refining Cultivators had all completed their retreat, with only a few hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators behind them, assisting in fending off the Demon Beast Army.
This group of people was the true backbone of the human race's strength, each of them at least at the Foundation Establishment Fifth Level, and many were disciples of the Zhenyang Sect.
Their overall strength was even stronger than the thousands who had already retreated.
Thus, the role of these people in a battle with an unknown duration was self-evident.
Now, their few top fighters had expended a great deal of energy. Once these core forces had successfully retreated, they must return to Yuyao City to recuperate.
As for repelling the Demon Beast Army, that would require further plotting.
"As the saying goes, 'As long as the green hills last, there will be wood to burn!'"
