Chapter 434: Defending the City
Wang Changsheng originally wanted to leave with the help of Qingyuan City's teleportation array, but he didn't expect to encounter the beast tide Qingyuan City sealed the teleportation array, it seemed that in a short period of time, he would not be able to leave this place.
Although he had never experienced the beast tide, he listened to the middle-aged man and said that several monks in the Yudan period had fallen in the beast tide, which was enough to show the danger of the beast tide.
Wang Changsheng thought about it for a while, ran to a few shops, bought some materials for refining the beast soul talisman, and confirmed the news of the beast tide from several shop owners.
According to the shopkeeper, after the demon beast attacked dozens of small and medium-sized islands, it still did not give up and was attacking Qingyuan Island.
The three major immortal cultivation towns, led by Qingyuan Island, are constantly gathering manpower, hoping to resist the attack of the demon beasts with the help of the protective array, but no one dares to guarantee that they will be able to block the attacks of many demon beasts.
After learning that the management office might ask the immortal cultivators in the city to assist in defending the city, Wang Changsheng found an inn to live in and refine the beast soul talisman.
On the top of a towering stone tower in the west of Qingyuan City, an old man in yellow robe with a thin face stood in front of a window in the tower, looking at the sea in the distance along the window, his face was extremely gloomy.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
"Enter," the yellow-robed old man frowned, his sleeves flickered, and a stone door not far away automatically opened, and a blue-robed man with a good face walked in quickly, looking quite flustered.
"Qi Qi Ancestor, the demon beast has attacked Black Rock City?" said the blue-robed man in a deep voice.
"What? When did this happen? Is the news reliable?" the old man in the yellow robe asked with some disbelief when he heard this.
"Absolutely reliable, a quarter of an hour ago, the disciple was using the teleportation array to contact the red-robed master of Blackstone City, and before he could say a word, the red-robed master broke off the contact, and later, after many verifications, the disciple confirmed that the blackstone city fell into the hands of the demon beast, so he immediately came to tell the ancestor," the blue-robed man said respectfully.
"Even Black Rock City can't stop the attack of the demon beasts, it seems that the scale of this beast tide is far beyond the old man's expectations," the yellow-robed old man sighed lightly and said.
"Ancestor, why don't you ask for help from the Inland Sea, otherwise, we may not be able to stop this beast tide with our strength alone," the blue-robed man hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Hmph, do you think I didn't ask for help from the Inland Sea? They were willing to come for help, but they also put forward conditions, after the fact, they would hand over one-third of the islands that had been discovered to them for management, and the situation in the Qingyuan Sea would be created by us for hundreds of years and countless manpower and material resources, and they would like one-third of the territory as soon as they opened their mouths, not to mention that those old fellows of the Council of Elders didn't agree, and I didn't agree, it's a big deal to withdraw the manpower to the remote island behind Qingyuan Island, and there will be a chance to recapture the fallen islands in the future." The yellow-robed old man snorted lightly and said with some dissatisfaction.
"What? I want to hand over a third of the territory to them to manage, isn't this a lion's mouth?" the blue-robed man looked a little unhappy when he heard this.
"Okay, don't talk about this, you immediately gather the immortal cultivators in the city, let them help defend the city, and those who don't obey will be killed, in addition, let Master Song and his nephews arrange a few more sets of magic circles, be sure to arrange them before the demon beasts attack, and go to the treasury to get anything if they are missing," the yellow-robed old man waved his hand, and ordered with a gloomy face.
"Yes, the disciple will do it immediately," the blue-robed man responded, turned around and walked out, and carried out the order.
Wang Changsheng was refining the Beast Soul Talisman in the room, and as soon as he finished refining a Beast Soul Talisman, he heard a loud man's voice from outside the inn:
"The Taoist friends in the inn listened well, and immediately came out to help defend the city, those who did not obey were killed, mortals were not allowed to go out if they stayed in the room, and those who went out without permission to hinder the resistance to the beast tide were killed. ”
Hearing this, Wang Changsheng frowned, put away his things, got up and walked out.
Walking out of the inn, Wang Changsheng found that there were already hundreds of immortal cultivators gathered outside, with the high cultivation of the foundation building Great Perfection, and the low one having four or five layers of qi refining.
The expressions of these immortal cultivators were different, some were nervous, some were panicked, and some were uneasy.
At the entrance of the inn, there was a team of foundation building monks wearing uniform yellow shirts, led by a tall bald man, who had the cultivation of foundation building and great perfection.
The bald man glanced at Wang Changsheng and the others, and said lightly: "Fellow Daoists who are still in the room, come out quickly, otherwise don't blame you for being polite." ”
After a while, no one walked out of the inn, and it seemed that all the immortal cultivators in the inn had come out.
"Since Your Excellency is reluctant to come out, then you're welcome," the bald man's face sank, and he walked into the inn with a few foundation building monks.
It didn't take long for a burst of noise to be heard in the inn, as if someone was fighting.
With a "bang", a figure broke out of the window on the fifth floor and fell to the ground.
The figure was an ugly-looking hunchbacked old man with a black spear stuck in his chest, and his breath was completely devoid.
"It's him," Wang Changsheng raised his eyebrows when he saw the hunchbacked old man, the hunchbacked old man stayed in the inn at the same time as him, because of his ugly face, Wang Changsheng was more impressed by this person.
The hunchbacked old man was also a monk in the late stage of foundation building, so he didn't want to defend the city, so he restrained his breath and hid in the room, but he didn't expect to be pulled out by the bald man.
It didn't take long for the bald man to come out, carrying a bloody human head in his hand.
He threw the head on the ground, walked to the body of the hunchbacked old man, pulled out a black spear, glanced at Wang Changsheng and the others, and said lightly: "If there are Taoist friends who resist the law and do not obey it, this is the end." ”
Hearing this, Wang Changsheng and the other monks felt a pang in their hearts.
With the hunchbacked old man and the bloody human head, the immortal cultivators outside the inn didn't dare to think carefully.
Next, the bald man registered Wang Changsheng and the others, and according to their cultivation, they were divided into two groups and taken away.
Wang Changsheng and other foundation-building monks followed the bald man to a section of the city wall.
At this time, hundreds of foundation building monks gathered on this section of the city wall, most of them closed their eyes to recuperate, and some were whispering, judging from the clothes of these people and the unhappy expressions on their faces, they were all rushed to defend the city.
On the city wall, there is a glittering giant crossbow at intervals, and the arrows on the giant crossbow are long and long, and the surface of the arrow has spiritual light flowing, which is also a magic weapon.
If he was shot with such a sharp weapon, I am afraid that the monk of the foundation would not be able to escape death.
The bald man arranged a place for Wang Changsheng and the others, told them to guard the city well, and left.
Wang Changsheng looked at the calm sea in the distance, his brows tightened, he didn't expect to be sent to defend the city so soon, it seems that the demon beast is not far from Qingyuan City, otherwise the administrator of Qingyuan City would not let them assist in defending the city so quickly.
Wang Changsheng could only pray that the number of demon beasts attacking this section of the city wall he was defending was not too many, of course, he would still try his best to defend the city, but if he had the opportunity to leave here, he would not let it go.
