Chapter 224 – Demonic Beasts Attacking the City [5K Big Chapter
“That’s not true.”
Bai Yuanchen shook his head.
This caused Bai Zixuan to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
If that Jiang Chengxuan, he too, had reached the ninth level of the Violet Mansion just like his lady, then it would really be too terrifying.
However, this thought had only just flashed through her mind when she heard Bai Yuanchen continue:
“That Jiang Chengxuan, although his cultivation hasn’t reached the ninth level of the Violet Mansion, he has already reached the peak of the eighth level of the Violet Mansion, and at any time, he has the possibility of breaking into the ninth level of the Violet Mansion.
Moreover, the pressure he brings to us is not at all less than his wife, Shen Ruyan.”
“How …… how could that be?”
This time, Bai Zixuan was truly somewhat stunned.
This couple, how did they both feel like they were not normal people?
Could it be that they both had some special means to quickly raise their cultivation?
Just as this thought swept through her mind, she heard Bai Mingshan, who had never spoken, finally speak.
“Well, no matter what, next, between us and their Jiang family, we will have to jointly guard this Gu Yuan City for a very long time.
If we can try to befriend each other, we should try to do so as much as possible.
This is a favorable and harmless thing for both you and I.
So.
Zixuan, you should also stop holding on to that preconceived notion of your own, it’s not possible to say that someday, this will save your life, got it?”
“Mm, got it seventh uncle.”
In Bai Zixuan’s heart, although it was still a bit hard to accept, she also had to admit that what her own seventh granduncle had said was very reasonable.
At that moment, she nodded at the other party, indicating that she would pay attention afterward.
Some time later.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who were already located in the cave, after sending off Hua Mengyue, who had personally led them here, sent a transmission to Jiang Renyi and Jiang Renchuan, asking them to come to their side together.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan got Jiang Renyi and a group of Jiang family elders, not a moment’s work, they all came to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan their side.
Jiang Chengxuan first inquired about Jiang Renyi and the others’ current situation here.
After receiving the reply that all of them had been properly arranged, Jiang Chengxuan nodded, and then spoke to everyone about the fact that Gu Yuan City had previously encountered an attack by demonic beasts.
At the end, they heard Jiang Chengxuan add:
“The current general situation of Gu Yuan City is basically like this.
You should try to arrange your patrolling manpower afterward, pay close attention to the movements of the demonic beast side, but whenever there is any abnormality, you must inform us at the first time, as well as the Purple Mansion Cultivator responsible for the day’s town guard.
All in all, try to protect yourself as much as possible.
If you really encounter danger at that time, remember not to skimp on the use of your cards.
After all, the cards can be replenished if they are gone, but if your life is gone, you have nothing left.
Have you all memorized it clearly?”
“Yes!”
The group of Jiang Clan cultivators, including Jiang Renyi and Jiang Renchuan, all bowed and led the order.
Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction at the sight.
“Alright, there’s nothing else on my side for the time being, so all of you go down first.
If you can, try to take advantage of your free time and try to raise your cultivation and strength.
Do not slack off.”
When Jiang Renyi and the rest of the group left from Jiang Chengxuan and their side.
Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Jiang Rendao, the three Jiang Clan Purple Mansion Cultivators, also didn’t waste any time, but each went to their own cave and began to seize all the time they could to cultivate.
Just like this.
It was more than half a month.
In this half a month, the demonic beast side did not launch any attacks.
Ancient Yuan City was also relatively calm.
Occasionally, there were some loose cultivators who had taken up a mission and risked a great deal to go out of the city to investigate the traces of the demonic beasts.
To the side of Ancient Yuan City, some sporadic information was provided.
This day.
Jiang Rendao’s son, Jiang Yuncheng, after reading the information sent by a casual cultivator, his originally calm face immediately changed slightly.
His gaze snapped to a burly man carrying a sword in front of him, and he said in a serious tone:
“You said that you found the trail of the Blistering Wind Rhinoceros in the southwest direction of our Gu Yuan City, is this matter true?”
The reason why Jiang Yuncheng had such a reaction was because that Blistering Wind Rhinoceros was not a demonic beast that existed in this Gu Yuan Mountain Range region.
If what the strong man with the back of the sword said in front of him was true, then this matter would definitely not be trivial, and he would have to report this matter to his father, as well as the two old ancestors at the first time.
“Reporting back to Cheng Shao, this matter I can be 100% sure, that Blistering Wind Rhinoceros, indeed appeared in the southwest direction of our Ancient Yuan City.
Although I, at that time, merely caught a glimpse of it, I can fully guarantee that I did not misread it.”
“Good!”
Jiang Yun Cheng nodded at the other party.
“If everything you said this time is true, I can promise you that in addition to the reward you deserve for your mission this time, there will be an additional reward delivered to you afterward.”
Hearing Jiang Yuncheng’s words, a flash of joy appeared on the backsword strong man’s face.
At that moment, he rushed Jiang Yuncheng and arched his hand.
“Many thanks to Shao Cheng, many thanks to Shao Cheng!”
In a few moments.
Jiang Yun Cheng then brought this information to a large hall at the head of Ancient Yuan City.
This place was where the current Violet Mansion Superior temporarily resided.
It so happened that during this time, it was his father, Jiang Rendao, who was in office.
Thus, Jiang Yuncheng, after knocking on the door and receiving a response from inside, immediately was pushing open the door to the room in the main hall.
Only to see his father, Jiang Rendao, sitting at a table.
Opposite him, there was clearly another person sitting there.
This person was none other than Bai Yuanchen of the Bai Family.
Jiang Yuncheng obviously hadn’t expected that there was someone else here besides his father.
While his heart was slightly taken aback, he immediately reacted and rushed forward to greet the two.
“Hehe, fellow Daoist Rendao, this must be your son, right?
At such a young age, he already has a mid Foundation Establishment cultivation level, his future in the future is unlimited.”
Bai Yuan Chen smiled and turned his head to charge Jiang Rendao.
Jiang Rendao, on the other hand, shook his head.
“Fellow Daoist Yuan Chen is overpraising.
My son is only a mere three spirit root qualification, and your son’s foreign spirit root qualification cannot be compared to the same day at all. “
With that, Jiang Rendao then changed his words and turned to look at Jiang Yuncheng and said:
“Yun Cheng, I don’t know if you have something to do here?”
Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Yuncheng immediately told the news he had just learned from that strong man with the sword.
After Jiang Rendao and Bai Yuan Chen heard it, their faces, which were still calm, immediately took on a touch of gravity.
Only to hear Bai Yuan Chen said: ”Rendao, I know more or less about this group of demonic beasts, they like to live in a forested environment, similar to you and me today, this mountain range area, is not their preferred area of existence.
But right now, they are infested here, if my guess is good, they should have been invited by one of the demonic beast groups here, specifically to deal with my Ancient Yuan City.”
For Bai Yuan Chen’s speculation, Jiang Rendao’s heart was also quite recognized, hearing this, he couldn’t help but nod his head and said:
“Fellow Daoist Yuan Chen has a point.
In that case, I’m afraid that the first demonic beast attack that you and I will face here is about to come.”
Obviously, both of them at this time realized.
Along with the appearance of the Blistering Wind Rhinoceros, a demonic beast group that shouldn’t have appeared here in the first place.
The second wave of demonic beast attacks targeting their Ancient Yuan City should be coming soon.
“Inform the other Daoists of this matter.”
Jiang Rendao said.
Bai Yuanchen nodded.
Thus, the two of them together, quickly informed the crowd of the news of this place.
After that, Jiang Rendao made a few more instructions and arrangements for the son in front of him.
A few days later.
A group of cultivators who were located at the head of Gu Yuan City suddenly just stared in disbelief.
A few of them, even reached out and pointed in the direction outside the city, saying with a horrified face:
“Demon …… demonic beasts!
Demon beasts are coming!”
Boom!
As these few people’s words fell, the cultivators who were in several other places immediately rushed here with the fastest speed and raised their eyes towards the distance.
Only to see that in the direction hundreds of miles away from their Ancient Yuan City, a large group of black pressurized demonic beast figures were clearly surging towards their Ancient Yuan City in a charging stance.
And amongst the group of demonic beasts charging at the very front, it was clearly that Blistering Wind Rhinoceros.
“Quickly! Quickly send out a summons!”
Boom!
With a blazing flame of light rising high in the sky.
The entire Ancient Yuan City, at this moment, the alarm bells suddenly rang.
Countless cultivators began to head to various parts of Ancient Yuan City for defense under the arrangement of the cultivators of the Aqua Sword Pavilion, the Jiang Family, and the Bai Family.
Among them, the East Gate had the largest number of cultivators.
There was no other reason, simply because the main direction that the demonic beasts were attacking this time was the direction of the east gate of Gu Yuan City.
Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Hua Mengyue, Li Fei, and the three members of the Bai Clan all stood in the sky above Gu Yuan City.
They looked at the densely packed, blackened figures of the demonic beasts in the distance, and the expressions on their faces couldn’t help but become a little sullen.
Only to hear Bai Yuan Chen of the Bai Family say, “Fellow Daoist Hua, I wonder how the scale of the demonic beast attack this time is compared to the last time?”
Hua Mengyue thought for a moment and said, “The scale is obviously larger than last time.
And the types of those demonic beasts, compared to last time, are also more numerous.”
Sure enough, it was like this.
The crowd couldn’t help but all flash this thought in their hearts.
Right at this moment, Jiang Renyi, Jiang Renchuan, and the Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Bishui Sword Pavilion and the Bai Clan, who were located on the wall of that eastern gate and were in charge of commanding a group of cultivators, couldn’t help but all have their faces violently condensed.
Only to hear Jiang Renyi say loudly, “Attention everyone, after three breaths, cast the Mud Swamp technique in unison!”
Boom!
As the words fell, they saw that the Blistering Wind Rhinoceros Clan, as well as the Earth Savage Bear Clan, who were at the forefront of the charge, had already approached the city wall within a few hundred feet.
At this time, all the cultivators located on the city wall of the eastern gate cast the Mire Art at the same time.
This technique could turn the environment within a certain range into a quagmire, making it impossible for them to pass through normally, and it was specifically targeted at heavy-sized demonic beasts like the Blasted Wind Rhinoceros and the Earth Savage Bear.
Boom boom boom!
In an instant, hundreds and thousands of spells, under the support of the City Protector Formation, landed on the ground hundreds of feet away from the city in the blink of an eye.
In an instant.
The ground, which was still as solid as a rock, immediately began to soften.
Pieces of quagmire began to appear.
Those Blizzard Rhinos and Earth Savage Bears that rushed at the very front suddenly stepped into the area of mud swamps under their feet, and their huge figures immediately gave a start.
The back rushing Wind Rhinos and Earth Savage Bears were unable to stop in time, and immediately crashed into the bodies of their companions in front of them.
For a moment, the demonic beasts that were originally raging, coming like a storm, were immediately thrown into a short-lived chaos.
Seeing this, the group of cultivators located on the east gate’s walls, without saying a word, immediately continued to start casting spells.
Subsequently, under the added support of the grand formation, the crowd of spells spanned across hundreds of feet and instantly landed on those demonic beasts that were in the midst of the quagmire.
“Roar!”
In an instant, the miserable screams of the demonic beasts immediately rang out.
One could see flames, ice blades, wind blades, and sword qi.
All sorts of rays of light were constantly flickering in the group of demonic beasts.
In just a moment’s time, there were tens and hundreds of demonic beasts that died under this wave of attacks.
There were even hundreds of demonic beasts that were seriously injured in this wave of encounters.
However, to the demonic beasts in front of them, this number was just a drop in the bucket, and there was no loss at all.
At most, it only caused some confusion and stagnation in their charging formation.
Without a moment’s effort, the quagmire area set up by the crowd of cultivators was already flattened by the crowd of demonic beasts, and they continued to come towards the city wall of their eastern gate.
Seeing this, the faces of many cultivators couldn’t help but show colors of fear and anxiety.
Especially those who were experiencing such a war for the first time.
Regardless of whether it was the casual cultivators, the Bishui Sword Pavilion cultivators, or the cultivators of their Jiangbai families.
This caused the faces of the leading Jiang Renyi and the other cultivators to sink.
This was because they suddenly realized that the spells unleashed by the crowd in this matter were much worse than before, in terms of both power and accuracy.
Some people, even released their spells ahead of time before they were fully formed.
Under such circumstances, there was hardly any substantial threat to the demonic beast side.
At that moment.
Jiang Renyi, Jiang Renchuan, the Bishui Sword Pavilion cultivators, as well as the Bai Clan cultivators, immediately shouted out sternly.
“Everyone calm down!
Do not let the scene in front of you take away your mind.
If you are unable to overcome the emotions within yourselves as soon as possible, then the battle that will take place in a moment will only lead to a faster death for yourselves.
So.
If you don’t want to let yourselves die, let yourselves calm down as soon as possible!”
These words carried a power that shocked the hearts of the people, causing many of those who were originally still cowering with trembling hands and feet to gradually calm down.
This could be seen one way or another from the spell attacks they unleashed next.
The state of many people was clearly much better.
Although there was still some fear, at least on the surface and in their actions, there was no longer any great impact.
Boom boom boom!
One could see a blazing, heavy, or ice-cold spell of various colors, like rain, once again falling onto those demonic beasts that had come.
For a while, the miserable screams of the demonic beasts once again rang out one after another.
Numerous huge bodies fell.
They were either pierced by sharp blades, burned by flames, pierced by ice cones, or bound and entangled by endless vines.
In the blink of an eye, almost two hundred more demonic beasts fell in the path of this wave of charge.
However, this was almost the limit.
Because after this wave of attacks, the huge group of demonic beasts was already close to the range of nearly a hundred feet from the east gate wall.
At this point, many people could already clearly see the demonic beasts’ hideous faces, sharp fangs, scarlet eyes, and their gaze full of greed as they looked at the crowd.
The ferocious aura that originated from the law of the jungle couldn’t help but make many people’s hands and feet start to soften once again.
Especially when they thought that once their side’s protective formation was breached, then in front of such a large number of beasts, they would be just like those cattle, sheep and livestock, being eaten by these demonic beasts, the fear in their hearts couldn’t help but become more and more intense.
Fortunately.
For this kind of situation, Jiang Renyi and a group of Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators who were in charge had long been expected.
So.
When those demonic beasts, in close proximity to their east gate wall 100 feet range, immediately there will be a tranquilizing spell, fell to the body of each person present, making their original still terrified and afraid of the heart, suddenly become peaceful again, look at those rushing to the demonic beasts in the gaze, also no longer with retreat.
“Use the Spirit Gathering Cannon!”
Suddenly, the voices of Jiang Renyi and the other leading cultivators once again resounded in everyone’s ears.
This cannon was a city protection magic weapon exclusive to the Immortal Cultivation World.
The entire body was a streamlined black and silver color.
The surface is covered in runes.
It exudes a breathtaking aura.
The diameter of each Spirit Gathering Cannon reached about two meters, and needed to be filled with a large amount of spirit stones before it could be activated.
The ordinary power could be comparable to a second-order lower-grade attack spell.
At full output, it could even reach the power of a second-order upper-grade spell.
However, this cannon cannot move and has a long gap between attacks, making it easier to be dodged by demonic beasts of the same level.
However, at this moment, it was the best time to utilize this cannon.
Boom boom boom!
In an instant.
It was seen that above the muzzle of each Spirit Gathering Cannon, an extremely piercing light shone.
Accompanied by the emission of a loud sound.
A spell that was comparable to a second-order lower grade instantly exploded in the group of demonic beasts a hundred feet away.
In an instant, the bodies of numerous huge demonic beasts were torn apart.
Severed limbs, internal organs, and blood were instantly sprinkled all over the place.
And this was not the end.
Following the first wave of Spirit Gathering Cannons, the second, third, and even fourth wave of Spirit Gathering Cannon attacks once again arrived as scheduled.
By the time a group of demonic beasts rushed to the range of dozens of feet from Gu Yuan City, there were already nearly one to two thousand demonic beasts that died under the several waves of Spirit Gathering Cannon attacks.
“Roar!”
Just at the same time, a series of angry hisses finally came out from the rear group of demonic beasts.
Immediately afterward, dozens and hundreds of demonic beasts with even stronger auras rushed out from the rear.
One of them, a Blistering Wind Rhinoceros whose size had almost reached more than ten meters, fiercely spat out a green-colored wind blade from its mouth.
Only a rumbling sound was heard, and a Spirit Gathering Cannon that was shooting towards its side was instantly chopped into points of light by the wind blade spewed out from its mouth.
This demon was clearly a second-rank demonic beast!
Not only it, but also those other second rank demonic beasts that appeared, all of them executed various attacks, as well as all sorts of innate divine abilities in an instant.
Only a series of loud booms were heard.
Endless smoke and light instantly filled a large area of the sky, causing some of the people who were originally still showing joy due to the power of the Spirit Gathering Cannon to instantly display an extremely grave expression on their faces.
