Chapter 53: Coming to Help

Just when everyone was worried about the food in three days, Wang Xian had already hid in the corner of the burned stone granary and ate the melons and fruits he had just picked. The family lay on the sidelines, still sleeping.

Wang Xian had already prepared a month's worth of dry food in the storage bag, but it was not bad to change the fresh taste occasionally. After the grain in the granary was burned to ashes, there was no one to guard it anymore.

When Wang Xian burned the granary, because of the urgency of time, there was too much grain in stock, so he used the mid-level and low-grade fire fox talismans. Once the Firefox Fu is stained with food, its mana in the foundation building period, the monks in the Qi refining period cannot extinguish it at all, and can only dodge. And the fire fox, as a fire spirit beast with a very spiritual surname, can pursue the opponent on its own according to the monk's intentions, and this time it did not stop until all the food was burned.

For the sake of safety, Wang Xian arranged a small forbidden formation in the corner of the granary to prevent it from being discovered by the Ma family monk's divine sense. As long as no one enters the granary, they will not find that the corner of the granary suddenly disappears into the fog. Wang Xian found that the aura of the Ma family compound was good, comparable to Baishamen, and it seemed that it was the same as Lingtian, where the underground spring of the Shadow Pearl Mountain Spirit Mine flowed.

It was getting dark, and the Qi Refining Stage cultivators lurking in the compound had not yet been found. Ma Ming was worried that he would sneak up on the monks in the compound again, so he asked the early and middle Qi refining monks in the compound area to patrol in groups of three. The guard posts at the front and back gates have also been increased to groups of three. And the eight Qi Refining Terminal Stage cultivators, all of them stuck to the large array in the attic area to preserve their strength.

Ma Ming and the core clan were still in the family hall, discussing how to face the imminent shortage of food. In the end, it was unanimously agreed that they could not sit still, and decided to attack this mid-level forbidden array with all their might five days later.

Some of the clan cultivators had already tried the power of this siege array, and knew that this was a mid-level formation that was more difficult to break through than the family's low-level forbidden array. The siege array faced by the clan courtyard is mainly along the opposite side of the bluestone road outside the front gate wall, and wraps around the foot of Yingzhu Mountain outside the courtyard in a circle.

The Ma family discussed whether to attack the part outside the front wall or the rest of the foothills of Yingzhu Mountain. The Ma family can now only operate between the mountainside formation on the east side of the Shadow Pearl Mountain and the large array at the foot of the mountain. Attacking the mountainside is obviously a dead end. On the mountainside array, there is likely to be a mountaintop array, and if you go to the top of the mountain, you can't fly out.

Attacking anywhere at the foot of Shadow Pearl Mountain, causing fluctuations in spiritual power, will soon be detected by the patrolling monks of Baishamen, and will not have the effect of a surprise attack.

Moreover, once the large array is broken, the mana consumption is large, and when it encounters the Baisha Gate and blocks it at the entrance of the cave with all its might, there will be a fierce battle, and if it is defeated, it is possible to withdraw to the forbidden array of the Ma family's compound. In this way, you can't risk attacking the big array at the foot of the Shadow Pearl Mountain, which is too far away from the compound.

Ma Ming and the others had decided to attack only the part outside the front wall. He asked his eldest son, Ma Bo, to concentrate the food of the whole clan and ensure the supply of all the monks, and the number of mortal people was halved.

Since the monks in the courtyard patrolled in groups of three people, it was difficult for Wang Xian to escape calmly after the raid. The compound is about three miles in radius, and the core monks in the attic area are gathered in the middle of the compound, once they are delayed for a moment by several groups of highly vigilant patrol monks, the monks in the courtyard only need to rush at full speed, more than a mile, and arrive in an instant.

Even if there are many talismans in his hand, in the face of dozens of monks attacking with all their might, it is inevitable that there will be more than one luck. Wang first destroyed most of the grain, just to force Ma Ming to shrink from the formation, wasting time in vain. The longer the time drags on, the more variables there are. The clansmen or monks of the Ma family who have not returned are likely to reward more and more monks and come to help solve the difficulties.

Outside the siege array, Baishamen has already focused on monitoring the monks entering the city. In addition to sending two Qi Refining Early Stage Cultivators to patrol the foot of the mountain on the east side of the Shadow Pearl Mountain outside the city along the siege array, the other thirty or so monks were scattered and set up ambushes.

And more than 100 Baishamen warriors poured out of the nest, scattered in the main inns, restaurants and streets. These mortal warriors often act under the leadership of monks, and although they have no divine powers, they also have some eyesight.

At this time, a small number of monks from other forces in the city, either local or passing by, basically left the city after learning that Baishamen and the Ma family were fighting again, so as to avoid harming the pond fish.

It is no secret that the Seven Great Sects are intervening in the battle between the two families, and the other small forces in the vicinity who are the first to learn about the situation will not interfere. The government arrested and defended the city, knowing that the biggest gang and the largest family were fighting, and they were even more afraid of it.

In order to maintain the sacredness and secrecy of immortal cultivators and avoid being disturbed, the cultivators of the cultivation realm will try not to show their spells in front of mortals. Where Ma Ming and his entourage were attacked on the way back to the city, the mortal farmhouses as far as the eye could see had been controlled by the Baishamen warriors. The distance between the two ends of the road was also secretly controlled by the samurai disguised as an accident.

It was common for samurai to find fault with large trees falling in the middle of the road, or chariots and horses stumbling in the middle of the road, and touching porcelain to block passers-by and cars and horses from passing. The samurai did not have spiritual power, and Ma Ming and his party could not detect anything.

In order to arouse suspicion on the road, Baishamen asked the mortal warriors under his door to pass by in civilian clothes. The monks who were ambushed and killed were quickly dragged into carriages by the warriors of Baishamen and transported back to the sect to be burned.

As for the warriors and mortals in the Ma family and Baisha Gate, they are all controlled by the rules of the family law, and they dare not say anything about the spell to the outside world, otherwise they will die.

Although there are occasional immortals in the Xia Kingdom, who fight in the wilderness and are discovered by mortals, and immortal legends are popular, but a few real legends are lost in the stories of gods and monsters boasted by more mortal believers, and they have become unexaminable.

Two days later, the largest green building in the city, located in the east of the city, Mianyue Tower, was stationed to celebrate Ye Xiaoqing, one of the four famous names in Yunhu Prefecture, and became a well-deserved top brand, starting a ten-day poetry and song competition.

Celebrity hermits, eunuchs, wealthy merchants, princes and nobles all came to Rongwan City for hundreds of miles, drinking and writing poems, and the hustle and bustle of cars and horses. There are many horse-drawn carriages in and out of the city, and the vicinity of the Sleeping Moon Tower is even better.

Three days later, the Ma family rushed to the vicinity of Rongwan City from the six scattered cultivators who had been rewarded by Yunbeifang City, three in the late stage of qi refining, and three in the middle stage of qi refining.

The six of them are perennial cultivators in Yunbeifang City who rely on the reward of spirit stones, and the monks who lead the team often cooperate with the Ma family before, and they are very satisfied with the Ma family's wealth and preferential treatment. Since three days ago, after negotiating a reward with the Majia Grain Store in Yunbeifang City, he did not hesitate, non-stop, and came all the way at full speed, and it was late at night.

Just now, when they were a few miles away from the city, they had already sent a transmission note to the monks of the Ma Family Academy. Normally, when I came to Rongwan City to help in the war, someone would send back a message and go out of the city to greet him, but this time there was something bad and I didn't receive a response.

The six of them sent out a thousand miles of transmission notes and asked the Majialing Grain Store in Yunbeifang City for the reason. The resident monk of the Ma family's spiritual grain store didn't know what happened to the Ma family, only that they were attacked by Baishamen three days ago, and then the two sides lost contact.

The resident monk told them to act as soon as possible. In order not to attract attention, they did not go through the west gate, but went around to the south wall.

Before climbing over the wall, he used his divine sense to investigate the movements in the city again, and determined that not far from the south wall of the city, there was a Qi Refining Beginner Cultivator, and in other parts of the city, there were several Qi Refining Beginner Cultivators and a Qi Refining Terminal Cultivator scattered everywhere.

Of course, the sound of cars and horses in Mianyue Tower was also heard in my ears, but they were all mortals coming and going, and I didn't care. The six people knew that Rongwan City originally had some local and passing casual cultivators, and found that most of these monks were not high in cultivation and the number was scattered, and the six people believed that their strength was enough, but they were not afraid.

The six of them decided to find out what was going on and climbed through the southern wall. At a time when the cultivation realm of Rongwan City was in turmoil, such a large number of monks entered the city, which quickly attracted the attention of Baishamen.

First of all, Zhu Renzhi was aware of it, and then, a monk stationed in a residential stronghold under the southern city wall also discovered the clue, and after he continued to scan with his divine sense, he quickly confirmed the cultivation of the six monks who climbed over the wall. The monk stationed there made a note and announced the same gate in the city.

At this time, in order not to startle the snake, the monks in the city did not move. Zhu Renzhi, the master of Baishamen, expected that the monks who came to help him would go to the vicinity of the Ma family courtyard to investigate, and he had already ambushed the main force in the dwellings hundreds of zhang away from the Ma family courtyard.

The main force is divided into three groups, each group has three late Qi Refining Stage, four Qi Refining Middle Stage and three Qi Refining Early Stage cultivators. Outside the gate of the Ma family courtyard, ambushes were set up in the left, middle and right directions, and a forbidden formation was arranged in the three houses, so that outsiders could not detect it.

There were also four early stage Qi refining cultivators, who were scattered to the strongholds near the four city walls, and were only responsible for detecting the enemy and communicating them, not for their actions. And Zhu Renzhi was alone in the high-rise building of the inn in the center of the city, which was farther away from the big array, to investigate the movements of the whole city.
