Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 186: The City is Broken, Escape from the City
The power of the formation connects heaven and earth, and is ultimately beyond the reach of human power.

The old demon with blood-red eyes was filled with ghostly energy as he slashed towards Lingxuan City.

But after a while, the power of the Netherworld Demonic Blade gradually dissipated...

In the end, the magic knife disappeared completely.

"What a great city defense formation!"

High in the sky, the old demon with blood-eyed eyes looked a little ugly.

In that attack just now, he had already used 70% of his strength, but the formation showed no signs of breaking.

Obviously, it is unlikely to destroy the city defense formation directly with brute force alone.

……

On the city wall, Lin Chen felt slightly happy.

The Changchun Sect is indeed a sect that excels in formations, and the power of this city-protecting formation is truly impressive.

It took nearly ten years in total, under the leadership of the master of Zhenfeng, Lin Chen also helped to set up the formation.

As far as Lin Chen knew, the formation of Lingxuan City was not a single large formation.

Instead, it includes the Xuanxu Seven Illusions Formation, the Bagua Nine Palace Formation, the Prison Wood Burning Heaven Formation, the Zongdi Golden Light Formation, etc., a total of more than ten formations.

Multiple formations are stacked on top of each other, complementing each other and doubling their power.

The Xuanxu Seven Illusions Array draws together the mist within the earth's veins and is a first-class maze.

Bagua Jiugong has both offensive and defensive capabilities...

The Earth-shaking Golden Light Formation can further enhance the power of the city defense formation...

Dozens of formation masters from Changchun Sect and the Righteous Alliance spent ten years on this task.

This chain formation cannot be easily broken even by a Nascent Soul cultivator!

Outside the formation, the old demon with blood pupils called several Jindan demon cultivators and gave the order:

"Are there any monks who are good at formations? Let them break the formation!"

After hearing this, several Jindan demon cultivators looked embarrassed and said:
"Ancestor, the Changchun Sect's formation is extremely mysterious. We can only understand a few of its tricks..."

"But there is still a long way to go to break the formation."

"If we can be given more time, perhaps we can successfully find the weakness of the formation..."

The Blood-eyed Demon frowned slightly when he heard this and asked:
"how long?"

"According to my opinion, it will take at least three years...or at most ten years..." an older Jindan demon cultivator said cautiously, fearing that he might anger the old demon with blood pupils.

Three years? ten years?
The Blood-eyed Demon's expression turned extremely ugly.

He can't wait that long!
He wished he could capture Lingxuan City today...

This time, he led the monks to attack in a mighty force, but he couldn't even break the formation...

How could a Nascent Soul cultivator like him put his face down?

The old demon with blood pupils had a sinister look in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he gave the order:
"The spirit boat turns around and heads for Qinghe City!"

The Righteous Alliance has two cities, Qinghe and Lingxuan, on its front line. He doesn't believe that these two cities are impregnable.

Soon, the black boat flew towards Qinghe City.

……

Inside the city, Wang Changchun looked at the spirit boat that had turned around and asked in a low voice:

"Is everything okay in Qinghe City?"

"Don't worry, Sect Master. Sect Master Chen is defending Qinghe City... The formation is no weaker than Lingxuan City." A cultivator on the side reminded in a low voice.

After hearing this, Wang Changchun nodded and felt a lot more relieved.

"Alas, but the formation can't last long after all. This old demon with blood pupils will definitely find a way to break it..."

"If no Nascent Soul cultivator takes action, this battle will ultimately be unwinnable."

Wang Changchun sighed in his heart, he knew it very well.

Now, the only hope of the Righteous Alliance is to have one more Nascent Soul cultivator so that they can contend with the old demon with blood-red eyes and make him afraid to act rashly.

But Changchun Zhenren disappeared, and Tiandan Zhenren of Tiandan Sect also disappeared for a long time...

Unless there is a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator?
“But how difficult is the Nascent Soul path? I have been stuck at the peak of the Golden Core for decades, and have never found an opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul…”

"I don't know if Fellow Daoist Chen Danxin can reach that boundary."

Wang Changchun thought silently in his heart.

Now in the Righteous Alliance, only he and Chen Danxin have the hope of being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, or they can fight against the Blood-eyed Demon.

But even if he entered the Nascent Soul stage, he could not compare with the Nascent Soul old man like the Blood Eyed Demon who had lived for thousands of years.

All I can say is that the old demon with blood pupils was a little bit afraid.

"Oh, I hope I can hold on for a little longer... at least until the Grandmaster comes back..." Wang Changchun thought silently.

……

At the same time, outside Qinghe City.

Hundreds of cultivators, together with the old demon with blood-red eyes, continuously bombarded Qinghe City's defense formation with magic.

However, after bombarding for a long time, the formation remained motionless.

The Blood Eyed Demon's expression became increasingly ugly. After a while, he reluctantly ordered:
"Retreat first, and build a city a hundred miles north of Qinghe City!"

The words of the Blood-eyed Demon almost came out from between his teeth.

Because building a city means fighting a protracted war, it is destined to be impossible to capture the two cities in a short period of time.

The Demonic Sect's army arrived in great force, but returned in disgrace in less than half a day.

After arriving a hundred miles away from the two cities, the old demon with blood-eyed pupils sent a message to the leader of the mysterious man in black robe.

"Xuetong, what happened?" The mysterious man in black robe asked in a deep voice at the other end of the communication jade slip.

The old demon with blood pupils was a little embarrassed, but still whispered:
"I can't break the formations of those two cities... You know where the Changchun Sect's formations were passed down..."

"Okay, got it. I will ask Master Zhenjun to send a formation master over as soon as possible." The mysterious man replied.

The Blood Eyed Demon was delighted when he heard this and quickly asked, "How long will it take?"

"Wait." The mysterious man said lightly, then hung up the phone.

The old demon with blood pupils was stunned for a moment, looking at the silent jade slip in his hand, his expression gradually became ugly.

"Damn it, you are nothing but a dog under the command of the True Lord! How dare you, a mere Golden Core, speak to me like that!"

The old demon with blood-red eyes uttered a few words from between his teeth, but then he lost his temper.

Isn't he also a dog under the True Lord?
And it's the kind of dog that can't stand the light...

The old demon with blood pupils took a deep breath and finally gave an order: "Come here! Build a city here! Within a month, I want to see the demon city rising from the ground!"

"Also, pass down the order... all mortals around the Mist Country will be killed without mercy, and a blood sacrifice will be held...!"

……

Half a year later, Lingxuan City.

Over the past six months, the cultivators in the city have become accustomed to the occasional harassment and attacks by the evil cultivators.

But thanks to the formation, the demon cultivators failed to break through Lingxuan City.

But pity the mortal people in the Land of Mist.

Even though the Righteous Alliance has already notified the Mist Country to relocate the mortals in the country as soon as possible and let them flee to the southern part of the Mist Country.

But most of the mortals did not have time to escape and died in the blood sacrifice of the evil cultivators.

In just half a year, millions of mortals died...

And those dead cities haunted by wronged souls have become fertile ground for evil cultivators.

In just half a year, the strength of the Demon Sect nearly doubled.

Hundreds of additional foundation-building demon cultivators and several Jindan demon cultivators once again posed a huge threat to the Righteous Alliance...

But fortunately, the formation is still there and can still defend the two cities.

Otherwise, the situation of the mortals in the Land of Mist will only become more miserable...

……

On this day, Lin Chen finished his training.

After carefully experiencing his cultivation, he nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Yes, we are closer to the Eighth Rank Golden Pill..."

"But, when will this confrontation between good and evil end?"

"Given the current situation, how can I dare to go out and look for an opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Thinking of this, Lin Chen sighed again.

The situation between the righteous and evil forces is still tense, and Lin Chen dare not leave easily.

Because there are too many of his relatives and friends in Changchun Sect, including his master, senior brothers and sisters, as well as Li Zhenqian and others...

Now even Mi Ke'er and Jing Xiao'a have been transferred to the front line.

If the Demon Sect conquers the two cities, Lin Chen will be too far away from the Righteous Alliance to be rescued in time.

"Alas, the current situation...it would be worse if both cities were captured!" Lin Chen complained.

however……

Not long after Lin Chen finished complaining, he received a message from his master Han Jihai.

"Disciple, come quickly! Something big has happened!"

"Qinghe City was breached... Most of the ten Jindan cultivators in the city died in the battle, leaving only the leader of the Tiandan Sect and a Jindan elder who escaped."

"Come to the tutelary fort immediately to discuss important matters!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen was stunned.

"No, it's not that accurate..."

……

Lingxuan City, garrison.

Lin Chen rushed over as soon as he received the message.

At this time, Sect Master Wang Changchun and all the Jindan cultivators in the city rushed over.

"Master, how did Qinghe City... get breached? So suddenly..."

There was an elder who had reached the Jindan stage with a look of disbelief on his face.

Just a few days ago, Qinghe City was as stable as a rock.

How come more than a dozen formations inside and outside Qinghe City were breached in just a few days?
The other Jindan cultivators also had expressions of fear on their faces, finding it hard to believe this fact.

The formation of Qinghe City is similar to that of Lingxuan City.

The fact that Qinghe City could be conquered proved that Lingxuan City would not be able to hold out for much longer.

Wang Changchun's face also looked a little ugly.
"That old demon with blood pupils recruited a group of formation masters from somewhere, and their attainments in formation are extremely high..."

"Within just a few days, the formation of Qinghe City was breached. Qinghe City was unable to react in time... Most of the cultivators in the city died tragically, and less than 10% escaped..."

After hearing this, the surrounding Jindan cultivators became even more terrified.

"Master, what should we do?"

Wang Changchun was still calm at this time. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said:

“Abandon the city!”

"Since Qinghe City has been breached, Lingxuan City cannot be defended..."

"Immediately give the order, all monks prepare to board the spirit boat and flee towards the Fog City!"

After saying that, Wang Changchun took out the array plate and activated the Xuanwu Seven Illusions Array.

I saw thick fog rising above Qinghe City, surrounding the entire city.

With this illusion, the signs of retreat in the city can be slightly concealed.

After hearing the news of the abandonment of the city, the monks in the city boarded the spirit boat one after another.

In just two hours, thousands of monks boarded three spirit boats and fled Lingxuan City under the cover of night.

Fortunately, most of the people in the city had already moved away in the past few years, and there was nothing the Righteous Alliance could do about the remaining elderly and weak people even if they wanted to move.

I had to stay in the city...

Lin Chen stood on the deck of the spirit boat, looking at Lingxuan City getting farther and farther away below, his heart calm.

"Lingxuan and Qinghe cities were lost... The power of the Demon Sect is unstoppable."

"It is equivalent to the entire northern part of the Mist Country falling into the hands of the Demon Sect..."

"But on the other hand, it will take time for the Demon Sect to swallow these territories. The Demon Sect will not go deeper in the short term..."

"For me, this may be a rare moment..."

"It's time to go to the core area of ​​Qingzhou..."

Lin Chen thought silently in his heart.
