Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

From below the demonic energy, bursts of soul-stirring golden drum sounds could be faintly heard.

The sound of the golden drum was low and rhythmic, as if it was cheering for the demons' attack.

Every drum beat seems to hit people's hearts, making them inexplicably nervous.

On the other side of Tianyuan City, the sound of horns rose and fell one after another, and the sound was loud and passionate.

Teams of strong men and monks wearing armor of various colors rushed out from each giant tower, running or flying. After they heard the sound of the horn.

They all rushed towards their own defense positions, each with a very solemn look on their faces.

There was not the slightest fear on his face, only determination and resolve, as he was ready to fight hard to protect Tianyuan City.

On the huge city wall, altar-like high platforms slowly emerged from the magic formations amidst the roar.

The emergence process was accompanied by bursts of roars, as if awakening some ancient and powerful force.

On this high platform, huge discs or cones stand upright.

There were also seven or eight monks in long robes standing nearby with their hands clasped behind their backs. They stood there quietly.

It seems to be guarding these mysterious instruments, and it seems to be waiting for the right time to activate them and unleash their powerful power to resist foreign enemies.

In addition, the sky above Tianyuan City, which was originally covered by a huge light curtain, was now filled with thousands of rays of light.

A white jade palace like a small city suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The entire palace was as white as jade.

It emits a soft light, which appears particularly bright in this dim world, as if it is a symbol of hope.

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at the white jade palace in the sky, thinking for a moment.

Then there was a flash of light, and his figure turned into a stream of light and flew straight towards the palace.

The escaping light was extremely fast, drawing a beautiful arc in the air and rushing towards the target.

Before they really got close to the palace, the people above discovered Lin Mo's escape light.

Immediately, a dozen blue-armored soldiers, led by a golden-armored guard, flew out from above.

Their movements were in unison and their momentum was extraordinary. After flying out, they carefully came up to meet the enemy.

There was a look of caution in his expression, as if he would not dare to be careless when dealing with a person like Lin Mo.

"May I ask if you are Senior Lin? I am here on the orders of the elders to welcome you to the Guantian Terrace for a gathering."

After the golden-armored guard glanced at Lin Mo's face, he immediately stopped his escape and bowed respectfully.

He asked politely. There was a hint of awe in his eyes and his tone was very polite.

Obviously, he knew how extraordinary Lin Mo was and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

"Yes, it is Lin. You lead the way."

Lin Mo's escape light faded, his figure slowly emerged, and he spoke indifferently.

He stood there, his posture upright, with a calm and steady demeanor.

Faced with this welcoming scene, he was not at all surprised or embarrassed, and seemed calm and unhurried.

"Yes, senior please!"

The golden-armored guard turned his body to the side, made a gesture of invitation, and spoke respectfully.

His attitude was very humble, fully showing his respect for Lin Mo.

The other soldiers also stood on either side of him respectfully with their hands behind their backs.

They all stood straight and looked straight ahead, like well-trained guards.

Quietly waiting for Lin Mo to move forward, the whole scene looked quite solemn.

Lin Mo didn't hesitate and immediately flew towards a tall platform in the palace surrounded by these soldiers.

During the flight, Lin Mo was among the crowd, and the soldiers around him were like the moon surrounded by stars.

With Lin Mo's extraordinary appearance as a backdrop, the group soon arrived on the tall platform.

On this platform, Zen Master Jin Yue and several elders of Tianyuan City who had met Lin Mo once before were looking down in the direction of the demons outside Tianyuan City.

They stood there, their expressions focused, their eyes fixed on what was happening outside the city.

There was a hint of solemnity on his face. It was obvious that he was very concerned about the situation of the demons outside the city and had many worries.

But as soon as they saw Lin Mo flying over, smiles immediately appeared on their faces and they greeted him enthusiastically.

That smile revealed their relief at seeing Lin Mo's arrival, as if Lin Mo's appearance could give them some confidence.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you are finally here. The demons are coming with great force this time, which is really different from the last demon calamity. It seems that the rumors are true!"

Zen Master Jin Yue was most familiar with Lin Mo, so after chanting the Buddha's name, he spoke frankly with great concern.

He clasped his hands together, his eyes were filled with worry, and his voice was heavy, showing how seriously he took the demon attack.

"What? Are there many high-level demons appearing?"

Lin Mo's heart trembled, but he asked without showing any emotion.

His brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

He secretly speculated about the specific circumstances of the demons' attack this time, wondering if a difficult situation had really arisen.

"You will know the situation once you see it."

Zen Master Jin Yue pointed towards the distance and said.

He pointed into the distance, indicating Lin Mo to observe the scenery outside the city by himself. There seemed to be helplessness in that action.

There was also a hint of wanting Lin Mo to confirm the situation personally, after all, seeing is believing.

Only if Lin Mo saw it with his own eyes could he truly understand the severity of this demon attack.

Lin Mo's eyebrows moved, and he looked away without saying anything. He followed the direction pointed by Zen Master Jin Yue.

Looking forward, I realized that being at such a high place, I couldn't see clearly what was happening outside the city wall.

At this moment, everything came into view. The scene presented was shocking.

Dozens of miles outside the city wall, all you can see are teams of various ferocious monsters.

Those monsters had different shapes, and some of them breathed out mist from their mouths. The mist spread out, exuding a gloomy atmosphere.

Some of them were growling continuously, and the roars came one after another, as if they were echoing each other, or as if they were demonstrating against Tianyuan City.

There are so many of them, and they are so densely packed, that it makes one's scalp tingle, and one can feel a huge sense of oppression just by looking at them.

And in the center of so many monsters, there were actually five huge monsters with bodies like mountains, half lying on the ground, looking at Tianyuan City with gloomy eyes.

It was actually a giant red ape, and the hair all over its body was like burning flames.

Exuding a fiery breath, a pair of eyes like copper bells, revealing ferocity. Two giant milky white snails, with mysterious patterns on their shells, slowly wriggling, as if carrying a mysterious power.

And there was a giant black bird with wings like steel blades. When the wings of the giant bird were spread out, they were like two huge black blades, flashing with cold light.

There was also a three-headed purple python, whose three heads were twisting from time to time and spitting out tongues, looking extremely hideous and terrifying.

Near these five super-large monsters, other monsters stayed away from each other and seemed to be equally afraid of them.

No one dared to approach easily, as if these five monsters had supreme majesty.

However, compared to these five huge monsters, Lin Mo was more concerned about the human figures in different costumes floating above these monsters.

From a distance they looked no different from humans, but they were filled with demonic energy, and the thick demonic energy was like a black cloud wrapped around them.

There seem to be tens of thousands of them, and each of them is at the stage of refining spiritual power.

Such a large group of demons can be regarded as an extremely powerful force, and is undoubtedly a huge threat to Tianyuan City.

“Hey, these people are…”

Lin Mo's eyes flashed, and he vaguely remembered something, but became a little suspicious.

He thought to himself that these demons looked familiar.

However, he was not sure of their specific origins for a moment. His brows were slightly furrowed, and there was confusion in his eyes.

“If my guess is correct, these people should be the original human cultivators who ascended to the True Demon Realm from the various human realms below.”

“However, they originally used magic skills as their main cultivation method, and now they have been infected by the devil energy in the devil world for so many years. They can’t be considered as members of our clan at all.”

The white-robed Elder Gu next to him sighed and replied.

There was a trace of regret on his face, as if he felt sad for these people who were originally human but had degenerated into demons.

At the same time, they are also well aware that they are now standing on the opposite side of the human race and have become a huge threat.

"In previous demon invasions, these demons have never appeared directly on the battlefield to invade our tribe."

"It seems that this demonic calamity is really unusual. Could it be that the demons are so determined to succeed in this invasion that they have even dispatched them?"

The Silver Fairy, who was still wearing the silver mask, spoke slowly with a serious look.

Her voice was cold, and her words revealed her worry about the unusual aspects of this calamity.

Looking at those demons, I felt more and more that the demons' attack this time might be ill-intentioned and the situation was serious.

"These people are indeed a big trouble. But compared to them, I want to know where the high-level demons in charge of Tianyuan City are this time."

Lin Mo looked at these demons for a while, but suddenly frowned and asked.

He knew in his heart that although these demons were numerous, their strength should not be underestimated.

But it is often the high-level demons who truly determine the direction of the battle, so we are more concerned about the movements of the high-level demons.

"The high-level demons are hiding in the demonic energy. Some of them showed their tracks just now, but now they have retreated again."

"It seems that they are planning to recuperate in the demonic energy before attacking this city."

Zen Master Jin Yue interrupted again.

As he spoke, he looked towards the place where the evil spirit was spreading.

It seemed as if he wanted to see through the demonic energy to see the specific situation of the high-level demons inside, but the demonic energy was too thick and he couldn't see the situation inside clearly.

"Then Master has seen a Saint Ancestor-level demon."

Lin Mo asked immediately with a serious expression.

He was well aware of how powerful the Saint Ancestor-level demons would be if they appeared.

It would be a huge disaster for Tianyuan City, so he was eager to know whether such a being would appear, and the expression on his face became more and more serious.

"The Demon Saint Ancestor hasn't discovered it yet, but among the high-level demons that just showed up, there are indeed several in the Fusion Stage."

"And seeing how powerful the other party is, there should be a high probability that it exists."

"But now the demon world has just eroded into the spirit world, and the power of the interface is still very huge."

"The true body of the Demon Saint cannot break through the boundary yet. Even if he does appear, it should only be an incarnation."

After hesitating for a moment, Zen Master Jin Yue expressed his judgment.

Although his words seemed to be meant to comfort everyone, he himself was actually not completely sure about the situation.

After all, the situation of the demon clan is complicated and changeable, and no one can predict whether any accidents will happen.

"If it's just an incarnation, Tianyuan City should be able to handle it easily with its preparations."

After hearing this, Lin Mo's expression relaxed and he spoke in a slightly relaxed tone.

He felt a little more relaxed, thinking that if there was only the incarnation, relying on the existing defense and strength of Tianyuan City.

He should still be able to fight back, not completely powerless, so his tone became a little more relaxed.

"I hope so. What we see now is only a small part of the demon clan's forces. The low-level monsters, which are the largest in number, are just cannon fodder for the demon clan's attacks. The real ancient demon clan and the demon clan's elite have not yet appeared."

Elder Gu in white robe had experienced the last demonic calamity and knew how terrifying the demons were, but he still spoke with great concern.

He looked at the densely packed monsters outside the city and knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg.

There are even more powerful enemies waiting behind, so the worry on his face did not diminish at all.

"At this point, we can only take one step at a time."

"Our Tianyuan City's defense is second to none among the many human forces. If even we can't resist the attacks of the demons, then other cities will have no hope."

"Besides, according to previous intelligence, Linghuang City is the main direction of the demons' attack, and the number of demons that appeared is said to be several times more than ours."

Fairy Silver Light snorted as she spoke. Her words showed her confidence in the defense of Tianyuan City.

At the same time, he felt helpless about the entire situation, thinking that after all, there were other cities facing more serious situations. Everyone was in the crisis of demon invasion and could only do their best to deal with it.

"Fairy, what you said is right. Even though the demons are coming with great force this time, as long as we work together, we are sure to survive this disaster."

"Let alone the forbidden magic arrays and fortresses we have set up on the periphery, they are enough to kill most of the monsters."

At this moment, Zen Master Jin Yue smiled.

He tried to use such positive words to boost everyone's morale, telling them not to be too pessimistic and to believe that with the defense facilities of Tianyuan City, they would still be able to withstand this wave of attacks from the demons.

"That's true! Tianyuan City was originally strong enough to resist the attack of the alien coalition forces. Now, after we spent nearly a thousand years on special arrangements, I really don't believe that it can't withstand the attack of the demons."

The big man in black robe, who had been silent all this time, also spoke in a cold voice, seeming to have great confidence in the defense of Tianyuan City.

His voice was deep and powerful, revealing a firmness. Although his expression was still stern, his words showed his recognition of Tianyuan City's defensive strength. (End of this chapter)
