Chapter 19 – Descending to Guyang City

Chapter 19 – Descending to Gu Yang City

Shen Ruyan obviously didn’t expect Jiang Chengxuan to say this, she couldn’t help but be surprised at first when she heard this, then she smiled and nodded, saying:
“Elder Jiang has a point, since that’s the case, let’s not delay and set off directly.”

Originally, according to her intention, she wanted Jiang Chengxuan to prepare slightly.

But since Jiang Chengxuan said that, she wouldn’t refuse.

Moreover, she also felt that Jiang Chengxuan’s words were very reasonable.

Every extra day that time was delayed, there would be one more point of variability.

In case something really came up at that time that even they couldn’t solve, then things would be really serious.

So.

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, after accepting that mission together, did not have the slightest stay, and directly left the mission hall, flying towards the outside of the Shen Clan of Immortals.

From the Shen Clan’s Immortal Clan to that Guyang City, it was about 10,000 miles or so.

With this amount of distance, the two of them barely took half a day before they had already arrived in the sky above Gu Yang City.

Only, just as the two had arrived in the sky above Gu Yang City, they saw dozens of first-order demonic beasts, attacking the protective formations of Gu Yang City.

Although the attacks of these first-rank demonic beasts could not cause any substantial damage to the second-rank lower-grade protective formations.

However, if it continues for a long time, it will be a great burden for the Qi Refining Cultivators in the city.

After all, maintaining such a second-order lower-grade protective formation requires the consumption of a lot of resources.

Once the true essence in their bodies was exhausted, or the spirit stones in the city were used up, then this so-called second-order protective formation would naturally become a decoration.

Most importantly, in the face of such a situation, they were still unable to make any counterattacks.

Not to mention whether the crowd of Qi Refining Stage cultivators in the city could cope with the siege of dozens of first-order demonic beasts.

Even if they could, once they waited until they left the city, then the second rank demonic beasts lurking in the shadows might be waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack.

At that time, I’m afraid that none of the Qi Refining cultivators outside would be able to go back alive.

After thinking about these problems, Shen Ruyan, who was standing in mid-air, immediately flashed a touch of coldness in her eyes.

Without saying a word, she pointed her green jade finger downward.

In an instant, a silver-white thunderbolt fell.

Boom boom boom!
It was like a cannonball washing the ground.

In the blink of an eye, those dozens of first-rank demonic beasts that were still besieging Gu Yang City were instantly turned into a body of charcoal.

Jiang Chengxuan, who was located next to him, couldn’t help but slightly shrink his eyes.

Thunder method!

He hadn’t really expected that Shen Ruyan, who appeared to be a lady of the house, had mastered such a domineering technique.

It was well known that the Thunder Technique was one of the strongest in terms of killing power amongst the many techniques, and it was also one of the most difficult to cultivate and initiate.

If one did not have excellent natural enlightenment or possess a physique that excelled in practicing thunder spells, I’m afraid it would be quite difficult for the average person to cultivate thunder spells to Shen Ruyan’s level.

Seemingly sensing Jiang Chengxuan’s strange appearance, Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but turn her head to look at him and explain.

“Just now that was my Shen family’s second-order Falling Thunder Technique, because I have the relationship of the Thunder Spiritual Root, so I have slightly so much talent in this technique, and without taking into account the maximum power, I’ve basically been able to do it instantaneously.”

Thunder Spirit Root?
Jiang Chengxuan really didn’t expect that Shen Ruyan’s spiritual root in front of him would actually be the Thunder Spiritual Root that was known as a foreign spiritual root.

Under normal circumstances, a cultivator’s spiritual root was generally of the five elemental attributes.

The difference lies in the percentage of the five attributes.

Spiritual roots similar to that single attribute were known as Heavenly Spiritual Roots.

It possesses an excellent cultivation qualification.

However, outside of that, there would also be some spiritual roots outside of the five elemental attributes that would appear.

Such as Shen Ruyan’s Thunder Spiritual Root, or Wind Spiritual Root, Ice Spiritual Root, and so on.

These spiritual roots outside of the five elemental attributes were uniformly called foreign spiritual roots.

Cultivators who possessed these types of Spiritual Roots, their cultivation qualifications were second only to Heavenly Spiritual Roots.

Basically, they could cultivate all the way to the Purple Mansion realm without any problems.

If they had great fortune, great perseverance, and great enlightenment, even if they broke through to Jindan, they would still have a not-so-small degree of certainty.

At this moment, the crowd of cultivators in the city had already discovered Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who were located in mid-air, and each of them shouted out in excitement at once.

“It’s the Shen Family’s Foundation Establishment Senior!”

“The Shen Family’s Foundation Establishment Senior is here!”

“Quick, open the formation quickly!”

……

Listening to the cheers of the people in the city below, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who were located in the sky above Guyang City, did not rush into the city.

At this moment, all of their gazes were directed towards a certain direction in the distance outside the city.

There, they detected the aura of a second-stage demonic beast.

Looking at each other, they had the intention to go over and take a look.

However, after some thought, they ultimately chose not to go over and instead flew into Guyang City together.

Shen Chuanhai, the city lord of Guyang City, immediately greeted them with a group of Qi Refining Stage cultivators.

This person was considered to be the Shen Immortal Clan’s resident cultivator outside.

In recent years, he was already seventy-six years old, and with a cultivation level of Qi Refining Great Perfection, there was clearly no hope of advancing on the path.

But because of some of the merits of his stationing outside over the years, Shen’s Immortal Clan internal for his family is still quite favorable treatment.

At this moment, he was seen saying with a warm but not disrespectful face:

“The two elders of the clan, just now, I really have to thank you for helping us with those demonic beasts outside the city.

Now that you’ve come all the way here, why don’t you all go to my city lord’s mansion and have a seat together first?”

Hearing his words, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan didn’t have any opinions.

Soon, the group arrived at Gu Yang City’s City Lord’s Mansion.

Only after the people in the mansion brought snacks and spirit tea did Shen Ruyan turn her head to look at Shen Chuanhai Dao:
“City Lord Chuanhai, what exactly is your specific situation here, now carefully tell us about it.

By the way, my name is Shen Ruyan, you can directly call me Elder Ruyan.

As for this one beside me, he is our Shen Family’s guest elder Jiang Chengxuan, you can address him as Elder Jiang.”

With that, Shen Ruyan picked up the spirit tea in front of her and took a sip.

Shen Chuanhai didn’t dare to be slow, and immediately spoke to the two of them about the current situation on their side of Gu Yang City.

The situation was pretty much the same as what the two had previously understood.

However, there was one thing that caught Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s attention.

Just last night, tens of miles away from them outside of Guyang City, there had been a sky-charging spiritual light that lasted for about half a tea.

During that time, those demonic beasts in the distance seemed to have had a commotion.

Shen Chuanhai and the group of cultivators in Guyang City were all confused as to what was going on.

But just this morning, dozens of first-order demonic beasts had begun attacking their Guyang City, continuing until Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan arrived.

Both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were also a bit puzzled by this situation.

However, they instinctively felt that the reason why there were second-order or higher demonic beasts here this time was probably related to last night’s abnormality.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruyan immediately turned her head to Jiang Chengxuan beside her and said:
“Elder Jiang, why don’t you and I go to that place together tonight to take a look?”

Jiang Chengxuan was just about to reply, but unexpectedly, just at this moment, someone outside suddenly rushed in with a panicked face.

“No …… it’s not good!

That that those demonic beasts, it it they’re here again and again and again!

“Much, much more!”
