The only way

Chapter 866 Inside and outside the city

Hope is always desirable.

These people are not the only ones looking forward to hope.

Over the years in Jumang City, the number of cloud boats that attract mortals has continued to increase, and now there are quite a few.

On the day the demons invaded, there were twenty-two cloud boats outside.

Thirteen more cloud boats among them failed to return to Jumang City in time when the demons invaded. Most of them were even filled with mortals, so they were discovered by the demons' vanguard team.

There are naturally monks on these cloud boats, and they are also protected by formations, so they did not fall so quickly.

But the signal for help was sent back to Jumang City from the beginning.

As for Jumangcheng, who was asked for help, there was no manpower available to rescue him at this time.

Because, the first step for the demon clan to invade the Eastern Continent is to directly target the major immortal sects and major cities.

Only by not fighting unprepared battles can we remain invincible.

These words are not only the path followed by the immortal sects in the Eastern Continent, but also the path of the demon clan in the Western Continent.

Although the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent are not connected to each other, there are other ways to teleport to both continents.

The Eastern Continent can send disciples to the Western Continent to collect intelligence, and the Western Continent can also send demons to the Eastern Continent to collect intelligence.

In the past few years, the major immortal sects have evacuated mortals, and there has been a lot of activity in building cities. There is no way to hide the detailed work of the demons.

Furthermore, as Donglu clears the teleportation circles everywhere, it is inevitable that some information will be leaked.

The demons also know that many teleportation circles are controlled by the Immortal Sect, but they have no way to re-establish the teleportation circles.

The scarcity of formation materials, the lack of manpower to set up the formation, the slowness of remote commands...

After all, they can only try their best to arrange one or two more formations, while still using the previous teleportation formation.

However, the ordinary demon who was originally the leader became a high-level demon monk.

Because they may encounter human blockades and traps, only high-level demon monks can break out of the way.

The low-level magic cultivators were just lost in vain.

Therefore, the high-level demon monks from the place previously guarded by Master Hong rushed into the formation.

As for the major cities that were targeted, the demonic forces they faced were certainly not easy to deal with.

At the same time that the major teleportation formations of the demon clan were activated, the defense formations in Jumang City rose up, and the light of the formations illuminated the entire city.

All the monks in the city were alarmed and left their places of residence one after another, looking up at the rolling demonic energy in the sky.

The monks guarding the city flew up and returned to their respective posts as quickly as possible.

The uninformed mortals were half-informed, but possessed the wisdom of mortals. After the initial panic, they quickly ran back to their homes, closed the doors and windows, and the family huddled together and prayed secretly.

In just a short moment, the bustling streets and alleys in the past fell into silence.

Only the weeping willows on the shore are left swaying gently in the wind, the lanterns under the eaves of the door are creaking, and the vermilion couplets are rising and falling.

The spotless streets were empty, with only the occasional nervous monk passing by lightly.

Outside Jumang City, the demonic energy was like a black cloud, pressing towards the big city of Jumang City with overwhelming force.

There was a faint rumbling sound from the ground, the fine stones were shaking continuously, and a powerful pressure was unabashedly rolling towards Jumang City.

All the monks standing on the city wall can feel this gloomy and violent pressure in their consciousness, which casts a faint shadow on their hearts.

At this moment, a slender and graceful cyan figure appeared on the city wall.

Her appearance was like a breeze, blowing away the oppressive and uncomfortable pressure.

The monks seen nearby all lowered their heads with respectful expressions on their faces.

"Zhenjun Taiwei!" The nearby monks said in unison, their hearts immediately calmed down because of her arrival.

This is True Lord Nascent Soul!

Lingchu, who had been living in seclusion in Jumang City, sensed the moment the demonic energy surged into the sky, but before coming to the city wall, she had many things to decide.

For example, the dispatch of the Jindan monk in the city, and the summons from another Nascent Soul monk in Jumang City.

In Jumang City, the Yuanying monk in charge is Lingchu, but there is actually another Yuanying monk.

This Yuanying monk is not from a fairy family, but a casual cultivator.

Coming to Jumang City was actually because the Loose Cultivators Alliance and the Five Immortal Sects had reached a consensus.

He was sent to assist in the defense of Jumang Town.

Because most of the monks in the Loose Cultivator Alliance are single, they are used to living alone and freely.

The same is true for this Yunying monk whose Taoist name is Yun Youyou.

He had no Taoist companion, no heirs, and no disciples. After arriving in Jumang City, he acted as he pleased, often wandering around and unable to stay at all.

He is not interested in anything going on in Jumang City, and he is just like an invisible person on weekdays.

If you want to find the other party, Lingchu has to take action himself.

Just like now, the Nascent Soul Lord was actually not far behind Lingchu, leaning against a city wall and looking at the magic cloud in the distance.

His expression was indifferent and casual, but no one around him noticed him at all.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Lingchu and Nangu Zhenren behind her.

Because one of them is the Nascent Soul Lord, and the other is the person in charge of Jumang City on the surface.

The light in Master Nangu's sleeves flickered. He took out a jade sign and said with a solemn expression, "True Master, Yunzhou is asking for help."

Hearing this, Lingchu looked at the demon army without moving his eyes at all, and his voice was calm and indifferent, "Send the Golden Pill cultivator to meet up a hundred miles outside the city. We only have to wait for a stick of incense."

A stick of incense does not have much time. Going to the rescue means that all Yunzhous cannot wait for rescue unless they can escape within a hundred miles of Jumang City on their own.

This is not a good thing for all Yunzhou who is asking for help.

But at this moment, it was impossible for Lingchu to send more people out for rescue.

Because of the rolling demon cloud, judging from the speed, it would not take half an hour for the demon clan's forward to be within a hundred miles of Jumang City.

As for the people who went to the rescue, including the time it took them to go back and forth, they were afraid that after rescuing people, they would have to face the demon army directly, or they would be directly isolated by the demon army.

In that case, the losses will be even greater.

As for the two Nascent Soul monks, Lingchu and Yun Youyou, they could rescue them in the shortest time.

But can they leave Jumang City?

No.

If they leave Jumang City, Jumang City will become a city without Nascent Soul monks, and the forces that are originally a mixture of various parties will be leaderless.

Moreover, Yunzhou was scattered everywhere, and there were only two of them.

If this is the conspiracy of the demons, they will make a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and then launch a massive invasion at this time.

The city of Jumang will be in trouble.

Lingchu is Jumangcheng's Dinghai Shenzhen, and Yun Youyou is Jumangcheng's back-up man.

During the battle between the two armies, none of them could easily leave Jumang City.

I have been in a bad state recently because I was arguing with my family about urging a blind date, and they couldn't listen at all! ! ! My grandma just wants to urge me to find a partner, my mom just wants to eat melons, my dad and grandpa’s silence is golden, leaving me alone to go crazy~~ If you don’t die in silence, you will explode in silence, well, don’t say anything to decide to explode!
