Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

Yin You's thoughts were racing, and he suddenly thought of himself. Before, when he was at Xuanyue Lake, Si Lou activated the demon blood in his right eye, causing him to become possessed on the spot.

The evil spirit has invaded, the spiritual energy has been suppressed, the mind has become confused, and one cannot distinguish between friend and foe.

This is a sign of obsession.

Thinking of this, Yin You took a deep breath.

It seems that the situation is really urgent this time.

The demonic energy between heaven and earth is growing day by day, and has begun to affect the existence of creatures in the Five Realms. If it is not stopped, I am afraid that in the end the entire Five Realms will be assimilated and swallowed up by the demon world.

The woman stood aside, watching Yin You's actions quietly without making a sound to disturb him. After seeing that he had understood something, she spoke:

"It seems that you have also noticed the strangeness of this world."

Yin You said "hmm" in a heavy tone.

Seeing his serious expression, the woman said, "Let's go, let's go somewhere first."

This time she did not say anything to comfort Yin You, because appropriate pressure would be good for Yin You.

"Where are we going?" Yin You asked.

The woman said, "There is a teleportation formation in A Chong Mountain. If it can still be used, it can directly teleport us from the South Region to the North Region, saving a lot of travel time."

"Why didn't you teleport directly to the Northern Territory before?"

Yin You asked a question.

He suddenly remembered that the two teleportations of the dark light column brought him to the Rift Cloud Mountains in the southern region, which seemed to be a fixed teleportation point.

The woman explained, "Originally, a teleportation point was set up in each of the five regions, but for some reason the teleportation points in the other four regions have become inoperable. Only this teleportation point in the South Region can still be used normally."

"Oh."

Yin You didn't think much about it. After figuring out the doubt, he started to set off and decided to go to Yunxi City under the Liyun Mountains first.

Chapter 160: Cloud Creek City Crisis

While Yin You was on his way, Yunxi City was facing a battle of life and death.

Compared with twenty years ago, there have not been many changes in Yunxi City, except that the city walls are taller and thicker than before, and there are many more monks patrolling the city.

At the city gate facing the Liyun Mountains, many cultivators with powerful auras stood on the city wall. These were the powerful cultivators of Yunxi City today. They all gathered here, looking towards the direction of the Liyun Mountains with solemn expressions.

At this time, dark clouds filled the sky above Yunxi City, covering the sky and the sun. These were not ordinary dark clouds, but a strange phenomenon in the world caused by the demonic aura that was so dense that it was almost tangible.

After fighting against demons for twenty years, all the cultivators in Yunxi City knew that once such a strange phenomenon occurred in heaven and earth, it meant that the demon army was approaching.

"The demons are about to attack the city again."

A monk spoke in a heavy tone.

"Last time, due to the demons' attack on the city, many of the damaged parts of the city defense formation have not been repaired yet. We simply cannot resist the demons' attack this time."

A thin man who was in charge of repairing the city defense formation spoke up.

"what?"

Hearing the thin man's words, many cultivators present were shocked. Some hot-tempered cultivators scolded him, "What do you formation masters do for a living? You can't even repair the city defense formation!?"

"I have given you the right to mobilize all the resources in the city. If you can't even do this, what else can I ask you to do?"

This hot-tempered cultivator is a burly man with a rough face. His name is Zhou Ku, and he is the current lord of Yunxi City and a cultivator in the middle stage of the eighth realm.

Even though Zhou Ku yelled at him in public, the thin man's expression did not change at all. He just said calmly:

"This is the third time this month that demons have attacked the city. The frequent attacks by demons have left us with little time to repair the city defense formation. In addition, in order to prevent the demons from entering the city last time, many formation masters burned their life essence to support the city defense formation, and finally died of exhaustion. Now there are less than 50 formation masters left, and most of them are only fifth- and sixth-turn formation masters. I am the only eighth-turn formation master left."

His tone was extremely flat. Even when he talked about the many formation masters who died in battle, his expression did not change at all. He was still as hard and rigid as a rock.

This is not to say that the thin man is cold-blooded by nature, but that he has seen too many scenes like this. No matter how sad he is in his heart, it has all dried up now, and only the obsession to slay demons and eliminate evil is left to support him.

After hearing the thin man's words, the voices of the monks discussing on the city wall disappeared instantly, and even the City Lord Zhou Ku, who had been shouting angrily just now, fell silent for a moment.

"How long can the current city defense formation last?"

After a while, Lord Zhouku asked in a deep voice.

The thin man didn't need to think at all, and blurted out immediately after hearing the words: "If it is still the scale of the last demon attack, we can still resist for two to three hours, but if there is one more demon in the late eighth realm, we may not even be able to hold out for an hour."

The last time demons attacked the city, it was led by three demons in the late eighth realm, with tens of thousands of demons below the seventh realm. And the last time demons attacked the city, it was led by two demons in the late eighth realm.

The demons' attacks on the city are getting faster and faster, from once every few months in the beginning to once or twice a month now, and the scale of each attack is larger than the previous one.

This time the demons' attack on the city will probably be more terrifying than the last time.

Can't you even last an hour?

Zhou Ku was thinking in his heart.

"How long will it take for support from the Imperial Capital to arrive?"

The deputy city lord standing nearby suddenly asked, "How long will it take for the support from the imperial capital to arrive?"

The monk in charge of this matter replied with a bitter face: "This time the demons attacked the city too suddenly. Even if we send a message to the imperial capital immediately, even if the imperial capital's reinforcements rush all the way, they will not arrive in Yunxi City until tomorrow at the earliest."

Hearing this, the hearts of the monks present sank.

With Yunxi City's current defense force, it is impossible to hold out until tomorrow. By the time reinforcements from the Imperial Capital arrive here tomorrow, Yunxi City will probably have been razed to the ground and massacred by the demons.

As for why not use the teleportation platform?

The cultivators present had thought of this method, but now the world was changing abnormally, demonic energy was spreading, and the five-domain super transmission system that the Taoist Alliance had spent decades and countless precious resources to build had already collapsed.

Most of the teleportation platforms have lost their function. Because of this, many cities have been isolated and helpless, and have been conquered one by one by large numbers of demons.

Like most cities, Yunxi City's teleportation platform had long lost its function. Every time the imperial capital came to provide assistance, they had to travel on spirit boats.

It’s not that they didn’t think about building another teleportation formation, but the demons’ attacks became more and more intense, leaving them no time to build one.

In fact, Yunxi City is close to the Lieyun Mountains. Logically, it should have been razed to the ground by the countless demons and ferocious beasts in the mountains. However, in the past twenty years, Yunxi City has stood here, resisting the demons' attacks again and again.

In addition to the full support of the Tianyun Dynasty, there were also countless sacrifices made by the monks of Yunxi City. But it was also because of the existence of Yunxi City that the northern region of the Tianyun Dynasty was safer than other places.

"call……"

Zhou Ku took a deep breath and clenched his fists. He felt very unwilling. Was Yunxi City, which he had defended for twenty years, going to be destroyed in his hands?

He turned his head and looked at the mortal monks in the city who were looking up at the city wall. Their eyes were full of hope and admiration, and they firmly believed that Yunxi City would continue to stop the demons here.

This made Zhou Ku's eyes a little dazed, and he couldn't help but recall the time when he volunteered to serve as the lord of Yunxi City.

That’s right, Zhou Ku is not from Yunxi City, he actually comes from a second-rate sect near the Tianyun Dynasty. His father is the current sect leader, and he is also extremely talented. He is the next sect leader who is highly anticipated by the sect and a young prodigy.

But just twenty years ago, demons suddenly launched an offensive, and his sect unfortunately became the target of the demons. Unprepared, the sect was slaughtered by the demons in just three days, and only a few monks who were lucky enough to go out survived.

Zhou Ku was one of the few lucky ones. He was traveling at the time and escaped the crisis. When he heard the news and rushed over, he saw only a devastated ruin.

After staying in the ruins for three days, Zhou Ku turned around and left to join the nearby Tianyun Dynasty and began his career of fighting demons.

Although Zhou Ku is tall and has a rough face, he is actually less than 80 years old and is still considered young in the world of cultivators.

It was only the years of fighting with demons that turned him into this state. After his sect was destroyed, the only motivation that kept Zhou Ku alive was to kill demons.

He will not rest in peace until the demon is eliminated!

Zhou Ku turned his head again. He didn't dare to look at the eyes of his fellow human beings in the city, for fear that he would disappoint their expectations.

Watching the increasingly dense demonic aura in the sky, Zhou Ku's eyes gradually grew colder. He secretly made up his mind that even if he died, he would drag these demons with him to death!

Chapter 161 A life-threatening mission

"We can't wait for the support from the Imperial Capital. We can't just sit here and wait for the demons to attack the city."

Zhou Ku suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and asked calmly, "How many array plates are left?"

A cultivator beside him immediately replied, "There are still 147, including 23 seventh-turn array disks, 54 sixth-turn array disks, and the rest are fourth-turn and fifth-turn array disks."

An array plate is a special spiritual weapon formed by an array master using spiritual energy to carve a miniature array on some rare treasure of heaven and earth. Although the array plate is much less powerful than an ordinary array, it is convenient in that it can be carried with you and used at any time.

Especially in this special period when cultivators are fighting against demons, the role of the formation plate is more prominent. It can often play a miraculous effect in the battle with demons and is extremely popular among cultivators.

"A little less."

Zhou Ku frowned after hearing the monk's answer. He quickly calculated in his mind and said, "Take all these formation plates, select four monks to take them out of the city, and bury them on the road where the demons attack the city. This way, we can delay the demons for a while."

When Zhou Ku asked about the formation, many monks on the city wall had already vaguely guessed what he meant. They were not surprised to hear his words at this time, and their voices became quieter.

Everyone knew that this mission was extremely dangerous. Now the outside of the city was covered with dark clouds and the danger was unpredictable. There might be demons hiding in it. Once they left the city without the protection of the city defense formation, they might die without knowing how they died.

It can be said that this is a life-threatening mission.

"Who wants to go?"

Zhou Ku's gaze swept over the monks present one by one, and seeing that no one responded, he sighed in his heart, and just as he was about to speak.

A voice suddenly sounded: "Let me do it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the attention of the monks on the city wall was instantly attracted. They looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man with a pale face standing there. He looked straight ahead, as if he didn't notice anyone's gaze.

"It's him?"

"Yun Hong from the Yun family!"

"He is indeed a lunatic."

Many monks were whispering secretly, and the surprise in their hearts disappeared in an instant, as if it was a matter of course.

After seeing this person, Zhou Ku's eyes flashed with some complex colors: "Yun Hong, your injuries are not healed yet, so don't go."

Yun Hong had a cold expression on his face: "These minor injuries don't affect me, let me go."

Zhou Ku's expression became even more complicated after hearing this. He had been transferred to Yunxi City for about two years, and he was deeply impressed by the young man in front of him.

Although the young man is the third young master of the Yun family, one of the three major families in Yunxi City, he is extremely brave and courageous. Every time demons attack the city, he fights at the front and fights madly without fear of death.

Every time demons attacked the city, the young man would return to the city with injuries. When the demons attacked the city next time, he would be the first to go out of the city to kill the enemies, as if he knew no fatigue.

At first Zhou Ku thought that Yun Hong was just like that, but later he learned the reason from other cultivators in Yunxi City.

Four years ago, when demons attacked the city, Yun Hong went out of the city to kill the enemy but was ambushed by the demons. Just when he was about to die, his father and brother risked their lives to save him.

In the end Yun Hong was rescued, but his father died at the hands of the demon. Even his brother was seriously injured and later his cultivation was wasted and he could only lie in bed.

Yun Hong, who was so stimulated, has become what he is now since then.

Seeing Yun Hong looking at him firmly, Zhou Ku obviously had no intention of backing down, so he could only agree:

"Okay, then you're one of them."

Hearing this, Yun Hong nodded at him and calmed down.

Perhaps it was because Yun Hong had set a good example. After a moment's silence, several more cultivators stepped forward and expressed their willingness to carry the formation plates out of the city to set traps.

Zhou Ku pointed to three monks with strong cultivation and steady temperament, and then said: "I will give you a quarter of an hour to prepare, and then come here to gather."

Everyone knew that this was a life-threatening journey, and the quarter of an hour Zhou Ku gave was obviously for them to go back and say goodbye to their loved ones.

After hearing Zhou Ku's words, the four of them immediately turned around, left the city wall, and flew towards their homes.

Yun Hong was very fast and he returned to the Yun Mansion in a short while.

"Why are you back so early?"

As soon as he entered the yard, he heard a gentle voice coming from a young woman who was sitting on a bench in the yard, teasing the baby in her arms.

"I have a mission. I came back to see you and Lin'er first."

Yun Hong's expression was no longer as cold as before, but he became gentler unconsciously, and his tone became much more lively.

After the incident four years ago, Yun Hong's father died and his brother was paralyzed. The one who caused all this, Yun Hong, was abused and blamed by countless people. Even he himself was extremely disappointed with himself. He lived a life of drunkenness and dreams all day long and almost became a useless person!

Only the woman in front of him hadn't changed her attitude towards him at all. She accompanied him, comforted him, and encouraged him as always to get out of those dark days.

Later, with the help of his second brother and his wife, Yunhong finally overcame the obstacles in his heart and mustered up the courage to confess his love to Yiban, whom he had secretly loved for many years.

Even though the Yun family had fallen on hard times, Yi Ban still stayed with Yun Hong despite her family's opposition.

Although there were few people attending their wedding, they still felt happy and have supported each other to this day.

After hearing his words, Yi Ban instantly understood what he meant. This mission was very dangerous, and only in this way would the city lord let them come back.

However, Yi Ban didn't say anything, but handed the baby in her arms to Yun Hong who was sitting next to her.
