Chapter 287: Relieve Disaster

After taking a dark grey fifth-level soul bead, Gu Yunzhu did not stop for a moment. The starlight flickered, and her figure disappeared and reappeared at the city's protective light shield. Seeing the light wave ripples spreading out a small area, she stepped into the fortified city.

A translucent black shadow emerged from the air several miles away, twisting and emitting an angry roar and sharp howl.

A fist-sized dark energy ball suddenly slammed into the city's protective light shield, its provocation obvious.

Gu Yunzhu ignored it. Currently, she could use the two treasures she had refined and the sharp power of the star essence to easily kill the lone fifth-level black spirit with a sneak attack. She was too familiar with the weaknesses of those nasty things.

She was not so arrogant as to think that she could kill a sixth-order black spirit head-on with her current level of cultivation.

As long as she is not surrounded, three sixth-level black spirits cannot trap her.

Her Starlight Escape Technique and Li Dan's Invisible Phantom Escape Technique are both magical secret methods to escape and save lives.

Liu Xianfeng's eyes widened in disbelief. The vicious fifth-level black spirit that had chased and killed Fellow Daoist Xu to the point of almost losing a layer of skin was dealt with by Yunzhu so easily.

She had long heard that Gu Yunzhu was the reincarnation of a god, and that his spiritual practice was progressing incredibly fast.

But it has only been a few years and he has grown to this point. It's really scary.

This puts a lot of pressure on her as a sister.

Gu Yunzhu smiled and put his hand on Liu Xianfeng's shoulder, saying, "You are seriously injured. I will use a third-level gray soul bead to heal you."

After receiving the message from Taoist Master Xu, she rushed towards Gucheng without stopping.

If she had not believed in Taoist Master Yanshan's backup plan, facing the dire situation where the Black Spirit army invaded Dingzhou and besieged the city in just one day, she would not have entered the city and would rather have wandered outside.

Before Liu Xianfeng could say anything, she felt a vibration deep in her soul and her whole body was wrapped in warmth.

She was busy immersing herself in bloodline cultivation, seizing the rare opportunity to break through.

Gu Yunzhu loosened his right hand and asked Daoist Master Xu through voice transmission, "Is Daoist Fellow Li not here yet?"

Xu Yuanchang glanced at the little tree spirit who had benefited greatly. It was indeed a deep sisterly love. He was injured much more seriously than the little tree spirit. He didn't even say a word of greeting. He replied in a voice transmission: "He has arrived."

He released Snow Grain and Golden Toad from the spirit beast bag and told them to guard Liu Xianfeng who stood like a tree.

Gu Yunzhu handed the fourth-level incarnation fragments she had collected back to Taoist Xu.

She didn't ask much about the whereabouts of Fellow Daoist Li.

Considering Taoist Master Xu's cautious nature, he dared to charge in from outside the city. He must have Li Dan as a solid backing, so his life was safe.

Hong Yuan calmly looked at the mysterious woman who didn't look at him directly. He and the other people from the Fourth Floor Building remained alert and kept a distance of ten feet from the mysterious woman. None of them approached her to talk to her.

Xu Yuanchang nodded to several people and asked Hong Yuan to take care of Liu Xianfeng who was in meditation and on the verge of a breakthrough. Then he and Gu Yunzhu flew up and landed on the rooftop of the attic on the top of a mountain twenty miles away.

The extraordinary strength displayed by the two outside the city attracted the attention of many acquaintances and friends in the east of the city.

Xu Yuanchang introduced Gu Yunzhu to Yu Fengwu and others, and also exchanged pleasantries with Wu Sheng, the master of the Monster-Catching Mountain, Wen Yijian, the master of the Tianzhen Mountain, Zhang Lin of the Bushai Mountain, and Han Shichun of the Wuyan Mountain.

In the ring space, Li Dan muttered and cursed: "It turns out that Gu Yunzhu is Xin Zi. There are few truths in the mouth of this brat. My kindness and good intentions are wasted. He is an ungrateful person who can never be fed..."

Xu Yuanchang pretended to be stupid and ignored it, otherwise the rabbit would scold more and more vigorously.

When it comes to hiring people, you should just swallow the spit in their faces. You won’t lose a single piece of flesh if you scold them.

Gu Yunzhu threw out two fist-sized mist balls that floated in the air motionlessly, saying, "We caught a few fourth-level black spirits. City Lord Yu can ask people to interrogate them. Perhaps we can find out the reason behind the black spirits' abnormal behavior."

Lao Li immediately jumped up and shouted, "Give me one. They won't know what's going on. Don't waste it."

Yu Fengwu and the others were overjoyed as this gift came at the right time.

Xu Yuanchang coughed, looked at Gu Yunzhu and reminded him, "Why don't you leave one for interrogation?"

Gu Yunzhu smiled and threw a ball of mist to Taoist Xu, feeling a little surprised. With Fellow Daoist Li's ability, catching a few black monsters was just a piece of cake. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Li didn't enter the city?
Xu Yuanchang put the imprisoned fourth-level black spirit into the ring space and let Lao Li do whatever he wanted.

The soul core bead is the essence of the black spirit and is a rare main ingredient for elixirs. It is said that after being refined, it can be of great use to cultivators in improving their cultivation and breaking through the realm.

Yu Fengwu handed the two black spirit captives over to Wu Sheng, Han Shichun and others, and asked them to interrogate them quickly using the secret soul technique.

We should at least dig out some useful things, so that we won't be in the dark like we are now.

Xu Yuanchang asked in a voice transmission: "City Lord Yu, do you have a good plan to repel the enemy? If time drags on, I'm afraid the situation in the Dark Realm will be bad."

Yu Fengwu glanced at the silent mysterious woman standing behind Xu Yuanchang. She couldn't tell the other party's cultivation level. She had used the Starlight Magical Power to easily deal with the fifth-level black spirit. She guessed that the woman's strength could compete with a sixth-level black spirit.

It is unclear what the relationship is between the woman and Xu Yuanchang, but it seems that Xu Yuanchang is the dominant one.

She was a little confused, and then thought, could it be the mysterious and experienced force behind Xu Yuanchang?
"To tell you the truth, if I were to go into battle, I would attack when necessary and retreat when necessary without hesitation."

Yu Fengwu looked at the fierce siege in the distance to the west, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. They didn't even dare to leave the city now, and were trapped in the city. He sent a message, "No one expected to face such a cruel situation. We have discussed for a long time, and there is no better way to repel the enemy except to hold on. Do you have any ideas? Feel free to tell me."

Xu Yuanchang transmitted the message: "I have risked my life to break into the city. I do have a way to repel the enemy. I will discuss this with Yunzhu."

Yu Fengwu suddenly turned around and looked at the young Taoist priest who didn't seem to be joking. If someone else said that, she wouldn't believe it at all. She calmed down her emotions and said in a voice transmission, "Whatever cooperation you need from us, just arrange it."

Xu Yuanchang nodded slightly, walked to the side, and sent a message to Gu Yunzhu who was following him: "Do you have a way to gather the sixth-level masters who are attacking the city?"

Gu Yunzhu observed the seemingly fierce siege and transmitted his voice, "It's not too difficult. I know a few dirty words to provoke the Black Spirits. When it's close to dusk, I will suddenly appear in the air to irritate the Black Spirit masters. Even if I can't gather all of them, most of them will be able to gather. Tell me about your plan?"

Xu Yuanchang did not hide anything and transmitted his voice: "I have an agreement with Senior Yuan Zhu, the Three-legged Turtle, that I can summon him out at a critical moment to help me resolve a disaster. I think with Senior Yuan Zhu's presence, the black spirits attacking the city will have to give him some face and go back to where they came from."

A smile appeared on Gu Yunzhu's lips. She had heard Taoist Xu mention that he had met Yuan Zhu before, and she didn't expect that she could ask Yuan Zhu for help.

Once is enough, and this time the trouble caused by the Black Spirit invading Dingzhou will be easily solved.

Can't scare those nasty things to death.

The two discussed for a long time and reached an agreement on the details of how to make use of this rare opportunity.

Xu Yuanchang communicated with Yu Fengwu via telepathy for a while, and without further ado, Yu Fengwu arranged to intensify the counterattack in the city. The Black Spirit army must not be left idle. In addition, several elite teams were dispatched to rest and be ready for later use.

She listened to Xu Yuanchang's explanation and learned that they could invite a senior down from heaven to strike the Black Spirit team in the evening.

In her impression, there is a rule in the upper world that masters from the seventh floor are not allowed to come down to the mortal world.

It is better to believe it and wait for the miracle to happen.

Xu Yuanchang and Gu Yunzhu returned to the east of the city and waited for half an hour. The aura of Liu Xianfeng, who was standing still, suddenly rose, broke through a critical point, and then slowly fell back.

Liu Xianfeng opened her eyes and was overjoyed. She had actually broken through to the fourth level due to her injury.

After speaking a few words to Gu Yunzhu, the three of them, plus Xueli and Jinchan, were led to a courtyard in the city to rest.

Xu Yuanchang released the ingots and asked Liu Xianfeng to retreat and consolidate his cultivation. He listened to Lao Li's chatter in the room. The fourth-level black spirit had been torn into pieces by Lao Li, and the soul core bead was played with in his hand. "The Black Spirit Realm is also like the Thousand Square Realm. It is divided into the Unleaving Realm, the Unloading Realm, and the Unresolving Realm. The Body Realm and the Lone Grass Realm, a total of seven lands, joined forces to attack Dingzhou from the 'Three No' Realm. They usually live together with black spirits and monsters. This time, in order to seek quick action, the black spirits of the 'Three No' Realm joined forces to act and let the monsters guard the three passages."

"They wanted to make a quick decision to prevent the passages of the other two families from being destroyed due to weak guards. So Dingzhou was unlucky to be caught in the trap. However, they will be even more unlucky. They will soon have to stage a good show of running away."

Li Dan's tone revealed an undisguised gloating. He said with a smile, "While there is still some time, throw more materials on the Creation Altar, and I will help you refine a few more flying knives. Take this interrogation jade slip and ask your old lover to quickly inform the Juzhou and Hezhou families to hurry up and search for and attack the opposite passage."

Xu Yuanchang used his spiritual sense to roll up the jade slip, sorted it out and threw in a bunch of materials for refining, and asked Lao Li to help him refine the weapon.

He made several copies of the jade slip, walked out of the door, handed a jade slip to Gu Yunzhu who was reading in the main room, flew to the top of the mountain, gave one to Yu Fengwu, and talked for a while before returning to the yard.

He was not optimistic that the top management of Juzhou and Hezhou would have the courage to proactively look for opportunities, and that Lao Li was thinking too simply.

They are all responsible for the lives of the people in their respective territories, so how could they trust information from other continents?

He swallowed the pills and meditated to heal his wounds until the evening.

Xu Yuanchang and Gu Yunzhu flew to the rooftop of the attic on the top of the mountain and nodded to Yu Fengwu and the others.

A huge black cloud stretching for ten miles was slowly approaching the west of the city. The Black Spirit was enraged by the fierce counterattack in the city and gathered all the scattered forces. It seemed that there would be a fierce battle at night.

The setting sun is dim and the twilight is desolate.

He exchanged a glance with Gu Yunzhu and said with a smile: "You don't have to risk going out. The black spirit is already concentrated enough."

He looked up to the sky and called out in a strange voice: "Yuan Kui!"

The sound was not loud, but seemed to have great penetrating power. It was not affected by the huge roar and noise from the mountains and below, and it passed through the shield and formed waves in the sky.

Yu Fengwu couldn't understand the meaning of the two words the Taoist priest said, as if it were some ancient demon language.

Isn't it necessary to hold some complicated rituals?

This way it doesn't feel too casual.

The next moment, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she saw the wind rising and the clouds surging in the sky, with dark clouds gathering at a rapid speed.

“This is… Robbery Cloud!”

Gu Yunzhu murmured to himself that the monster that could attract the calamity cloud must be at least a seventh-level monster.

Look at this power, it seems like the three-legged turtle is really about to descend from the sky to the earth.

Li Dan muttered in the ring space: "Yuan Kui... So the old demon's real name is Yuan Kui, not 'Yuan Zhu'. How is it, has the old turtle appeared?"

The second sentence was asking about Xu Xiaozi outside, who was itching to see the good show.

Like everyone else, Xu Yuanchang stared at the huge turtle shadow vaguely emerging from the dark clouds in the north. It was probably three hundred feet long, with two points of orange-yellow light at the position of its eyes. He felt a little dry in the mouth.

It’s too huge, like a mountain of pressure!

The black cloud formed by the Black Spirit Army has become uncontrollable and chaotic, and their fear in facing the behemoth can be imagined.

Xu Yuanchang didn't bother to talk to Lao Li, he just clasped his fists and bowed, "Please help me with this difficulty, senior!"

The rumbling response echoed through the heavens and the earth, "As you wish!"

The giant turtle phantom opened its mouth as big as a mountain and let out a "wow", a thick white turtle breath.

Wherever it passed, the chaotic black clouds in the sky all vanished, and the violent and turbulent waves spread out in circles. Everything that touched the black clouds melted like ice and snow, and soul beads fell to the ground like raindrops.

Everyone saw what power was and what brutal simplicity was. With just one strike, the ten-mile black cloud was torn diagonally in half, leaving a two-mile wide hole.

Sharp and strange cries were heard, and countless black spirits rushed to the entrance of the passage to escape.

The top leaders of the three Black Spirits seriously suspected that humans had deliberately designed such a vicious plan to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Gu Yunzhu bowed slightly towards the huge phantom. She understood that Taoist Yanshan had a far-reaching plan, and it was unknown what price he had spent, but he asked Yuan Zhu to use a real clone to come down to the mortal world.

It seemed as if the heavens were angry at the giant phantom for breaking the rules, and thunder balls poured down, almost submerging the giant turtle phantom like a rain curtain.

"Ah", the second white tortoise breath sprayed towards the chaotic black spirit army, plowing out a blank space again.

By the time the third tortoise breath came out, more than half of the black spirits in the air had disappeared.

Countless Black Spirits died in it. Those who escaped quickly were the sixth-level and fifth-level Black Spirit masters. One after another, they fled for their lives. Even after entering the dark world, they could not stop the terror. They shouted wildly and bluffed their own kind who were besieging the human base, and quickly retreated.

They fell into a vicious conspiracy set up by humans outside.

After the giant turtle phantom struck three times, it soared up towards the thunder in the sky and disappeared into the thick dark clouds.

The rumbling roar even overwhelmed the thunder and went all the way up.

Yu Fengwu's heart surged, he retracted his gaze, drew his sword and shouted: "Attack!"

Many monks in the city who witnessed the grand spectacle in the air shouted loudly like a tsunami: "Victory! Victory!"

After experiencing the despair of the Black Spirit army's invasion and siege, they were suddenly welcomed with a great victory again. The fighting spirit was burning high, and eight teams of a thousand monks rushed out of the city. Led by a master from the fourth floor, they rushed towards the entrance of the passage with a crushing force.

Yu Fengwu led a group of soldiers from the fourth floor building to act as the vanguard and were invincible.

The remaining Black Spirit troops became frightened and leaderless, with no morale at all, and were cut off and surrounded by the monks' team.

Yu Fengwu led two teams of a thousand men and charged into the passage, reaping the harvest with pleasure and venting the humiliation of being invaded into Dingzhou.

Xu Yuanchang and Gu Yunzhu followed closely behind, experiencing an unstoppable momentum.

They chased him all the way to fifty miles away.

Join forces with many experts who had reacted while defending their positions.

"Don't chase after a desperate enemy. Quickly, seal the entrance to the passage. Old Wei, you take a group of fifth-level masters back to Dingzhou and lead the monks to eliminate the remaining black spirits to prevent sixth-level black spirits from escaping. Old Grandmaster Xi, you are responsible for speeding up the construction of the Hundred Miles Formation! Old Fu, you and the others will lead the others to observe the movements of the black spirits to prevent them from making a surprise attack."

The old swordsman understood the situation in a few words and made countermeasures immediately.

As long as they can gain seven days, they can rely on the crystal stone mining area to complete the layout of the large formation from the base to the passage entrance.

The Black Spirits suffered heavy losses, but there are still many experts.

Have to guard against it.
