Chapter 453: The beast tide is coming, and the transmission is blocked
Half a year later, at the gate of Demon-Slaying Fairy City.
The monks coming in and out were as numerous as usual, but most of them were low-level monks with little background.
Or they go out in groups of three or five to slay monsters. Some have expectant looks on their faces, while others are nervous.
Or they may have returned from explorations outside, some may have gained a lot, while others may have suffered heavy losses and survived.
This is the norm for lower-level monks.
After all, he has no special skills, so he can only put his head on the belt and fight with the demon cultivators to earn some resources for cultivation.
However, at this moment, a beam of light appeared from the horizon in the direction of the Southern Wilderness and came towards the Demon-Slaying Fairy City at a very fast speed.
In just a moment they had reached the city gate.
Afterwards, he didn't even have the chance to break the city's no-fly zone ban and headed straight for the city center.
The monks watching below were also talking about it.
"Is the ban in the city just for show? Why is no one doing anything about it?"
"Didn't you see where he was going? That's the city. Judging from his speed, he must be a Jindan-stage deacon in the city."
"Even for a Jindan Deacon, few people would make an exception. He rushed back to the city in such a hurry. Could it be that something big happened?"
"My senior brother is on duty in the city. Let me summon him to ask about the situation."
However, before this person could send a message, a rapid bell rang suddenly from the direction of the city.
No more, no less, exactly eight shots.
"The eight rings of the golden bell indicate a beast tide, a large beast tide with transformed monsters."
“Hurry back to the city, the city gates will be closed and the formation will be activated within half an hour.
When the time comes, seal off the inside and outside, and if you are late, you won’t be able to get in.”
Before he finished speaking, streaks of light appeared in the sky, speeding past at high speeds, vying for the first place.
Apparently, not long after leaving the Immortal City, the warning sound of the golden bell was heard.
As for those who have already gone away and have not received any news, they can only wish for the best.
A tide of beasts is coming, not to mention the swarms of monsters that are swarming in, there are also high-level monster cultivators sweeping everywhere along the way.
If one does not have great confidence in one's own escape method, the Demon-Slaying Immortal City would be the most stable refuge.
After all, the city defense formation that can be deployed on the front line against the Southern Wilderness demon clan is extremely powerful.
Even without the True Lord Huashen in charge, it would be no problem to hold off even the largest beast tide for ten days or half a month.
Even if there are fifth-level demon cultivators coming here to cooperate, there is no way to break the formation without three to five days of fierce attacks.
Besides, how could the Tianlan Sect's True Lord Huashen sit idly by and do nothing about this?
Just one message and the True Lord will be sent over.
At this moment in the city, a group of Nascent Souls were arguing about this matter.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you already understand the situation. It's a large-scale beast tide. We need to get your sect's True Lord Senior here as soon as possible to take charge."
"Yes, with a beast tide of this magnitude, the chance of a fifth-level demon cultivator appearing is quite high, and that is a being comparable to a True Lord."
Ever since the demon race started to move again, all the Yuanying-level sects in the Eastern Region have sent Yuanying cultivators here.
To date, there are no less than ten Nascent Soul cultivators in the city.
Chen Zhongsheng is the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Tianlan Sect who is stationed here, and has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
However, although they were already Nascent Soul cultivators, they were still nervous about being on the front line against the demon race.
After all, the Five Elements Sect’s gold vein was destroyed in the last demon clan raid.
Although a hundred years have passed, it is still vivid in my mind.
"Don't worry, everyone. I have already sent the news back to the sect, and also mentioned the possibility of a fifth-level demon cultivator appearing. I believe there will be news soon."
Chen Zhongsheng also spoke to comfort everyone at this time.
But people still don't buy it.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you are confused. Without solid evidence, how could the True Lord come here?"
"If a fifth-level demon cultivator attacks and stages a trick to take over the Five Elements Sect's gold veins, what should we do?"
"That's right. Although the Five Elements Sect's teleportation array was destroyed by a traitor, we don't know the specific means used."
In the past, whenever humans and demons fought each other, it was usually the Five Elements Sect’s True Lord Huashen who came to take charge.
After the Five Elements Sect's divine transformation was cut off, the Tianlan, Xuanyuan and Nanhua Sects took turns to take charge.
Now that Xuanyuan has been destroyed, Nanhua is definitely not allowed to leave the sect without Tianlan Sect's permission.
In this way, the Demon-Slaying Immortal City, not only the permanent Nascent Souls, but also the Divine Incarnations who take turns to take charge here, all have to fall on the shoulders of the Tianlan Sect.
“I have also considered this, and have already strengthened the guard of the Transmission Hall, and even have Fellow Daoist Lin from the Huaqing Sect personally look after it.
Moreover, I have just notified everyone that before the beast tide has receded, no one is allowed to enter the teleportation hall but to leave, and no one is allowed to approach without reason.
It is simply impossible to destroy the teleportation array."
Chen Zhongsheng made this promise solemnly.
However, at this moment, all the Nascent Soul cultivators present felt a wave of space sweeping past.
Before the cultivators could go out to investigate, the communication jade talisman in Chen Zhongsheng's arms started to move first.
Under the gaze of the other practitioners, Chen Zhongsheng quickly checked the content of the message, and his expression turned gloomy in an instant.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, what happened? Why do you look like that?"
An ominous premonition surged into the hearts of the cultivators, and they couldn't help but ask.
"It was a message from Fellow Daoist Lin. All the teleportation arrays failed just now."
Chen Zhongsheng was extremely shocked and angry at this moment. He had obviously been careful enough, but the demons still succeeded.
There was an instant of silence in the hall, and then all the practitioners became confused.
It is now obvious that the demon clan wants to recreate the Five Elements Sect's gold vein.
Compared to other people, although Chen Zhongsheng was shocked, as a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, he had experienced countless life and death experiences, so he did not lose his composure.
Then he immediately reported the situation directly to Ling Taichu.
As for when the True Lord of Tianlan Sect would arrive, Chen Zhongsheng was not sure. It was even possible that the demon clan would break through the Demon-Slaying Immortal City, and he might not be able to make it in time.
But these are all things he needs to consider.
What he had to consider was to resist the attacks of the demon clan as much as possible and delay the time for the formation to be broken.
"My fellow Taoists, the situation is already very clear. The demon race is going to use the same old tricks again and reproduce the fate of the Five Elements Sect's gold veins in my Demon Slaying Immortal City.
Although it is unclear what means the demon clan used, it is clear that it must be related to the spatial fluctuation just now.
We still have time. If we can find the cause of the problem and solve it quickly, and restore the teleportation array, we can escape this disaster."
Although those present are Nascent Soul cultivators and may not be very knowledgeable about the laws of space, they can still detect any anomalies in space by sensing carefully.
Seeing that some people's eyes flickered and seemed to be about to retreat, he immediately added.
“I know that the beast tide is about to arrive, and some people are thinking of retreating, but high-level demon cultivators may not have arrived.
If any fellow Taoist wants to leave the Demon-Slaying Fairy City, Chen will never keep him any longer.
But once the formation is activated, don’t think about coming back once you leave.
Life or death, blessing or misfortune, it is all self-inflicted, so have nothing to worry about from others.
Those who are willing to stay, please follow me."
Then Chen Zhongsheng no longer paid attention to the cultivators who had their own thoughts and strode out of the hall.
