Chapter 194.1

The battle was only limited to the city gate, but the city fell into an eerie calm.

At the same time as the attack started in the sky, tens of thousands of cultivators dressed in black swept toward Wuling City with a murderous aura. With weapons in their hands, no one would think that they were guests.

Feng Shao activated the protective formation of Wuling City, and a faint blue halo enveloped the sky above Wuling City.

This halo looked inconspicuous, but it blocked the black-clothed cultivators from outside the city.

It was only their first attempt, and they discovered that this protective formation actually had the ability to resist cultivators of the Taiqing realm or above!

But they didn’t panic at all. No matter how powerful the defensive formation is, there will be a time when the spiritual energy is exhausted. As long as they keep attacking the protective light and consuming the energy of the defensive formation, they will be able to break this sooner or later!

So the black-clothed cultivators formed a formation of fifteen people in each group, and they continuously bombarded the defensive formation. Streams of light of various colors continued to shine on the halo, and the strong vibration shook the ground.

Those who came to Wuling City to participate in the city’s founding ceremony were all the geniuses of various powers, and most of them could be regarded as knowledgeable people.

But it was the first time they had seen such a large-scale siege.

Moreover, it was not ordinary forces that organized this siege, but the Jiuyou Sacred Land among the five super-first-class forces in Dongzhou!

This made many people look anxious. Being implicated in the conflict between the two sides for no reason, many people couldn’t help feeling resentful towards Feng Shao and Tao Yan.

Was it possible that they would die here?

At that moment, someone couldn’t help but shout at Feng Shao, “Feng Shao, all this was caused by those people you protected. Now, do you still want to continue to protect them?”

With the beginning of the first person, the others also responded one after another.

“City Lord Feng, hurry up and hand over those people! Maybe you can get a glimmer of life!”

“We don’t want to sacrifice our lives for someone who has nothing to do with us. Feng Shao, if you don’t want to do it, then don’t blame us for doing it for you!”

“Why are you dawdling? No matter how strong this defensive formation is, I’m afraid it won’t last long. Before the defensive formation is breached, Zuo Linglan and the others must be taken down first!”

For a while, the crowd was excited, and many people who were quite friendly to Feng Shao before were now berating Feng Shao loudly, and they seemed ready to attack immediately.

Zuo Linglan came out and saluted Feng Shao. Her face was pale but she still forced herself to say calmly, “The little girl, thanks young master Feng for taking care of us during this time, now it’s time to say goodbye!”

But Feng Shao shook his head and said, “Miss Zuo, you’ve misunderstood. Do you really think that Jiuyou Sacred Land’s attack this time is because of you?”

Zuo Linglan was startled, and before she could figure it out, Feng Shao turned his gaze to Xin Ruxiong, “Am I right, Brother Xin?”

After the two sides started fighting, Xin Ruxiong stood there without saying a word. With a faint smile on his face, he looked confident.

Hearing Feng Shao’s question, Xin Ruxiong smiled and said, “Hahaha! City Lord Feng is really amazing, I can’t hide it from you!”

Feng Shao said lightly, “If my prediction is correct, your target should be Yunjian Pavilion and the geniuses who participated in the founding ceremony, am I right?”

Xin Ruxiong smiled and said, “Not bad! Not bad! The Jiuyou Sacred Land’s plan is pretty close to your guess.”

Speaking of this, Xin Ruxiong suddenly changed the subject, “Then, City Lord Feng might as well guess again, why would I admit these things indifferently?”

Feng Shao sneered, “Isn’t this already obvious? In your eyes, we are already dead, so why care how much we know?”

Xin Ruxiong clapped his palms and laughed loudly, “City Lord Feng is really smart, I admire you!”

At this time, Guan Shuo suddenly said, “Everyone, the most important thing right now is not to engage in internal strife here, but to find a way to solve the current crisis. As long as we are united, we may be able to save the day!”

Someone retorted, “You can say it lightly! That’s Jiuyou Sacred Land! Your Taixuan Sacred Land is not afraid of them, but what about us? What can we do to defend against them?”

Guan Shuo said with a normal expression, “Although the Jiuyou Sacred Land is strong, it is not invincible. There are many of them, but they are all mediocre. Instead of growing others’ ambitions here and destroying your own prestige, why not fight back to win a chance for yourselves?”

A genius who has a good relationship with Guan Shuo immediately echoed, “Holy son Guan is right, no matter how much we argue now, it is useless. I am a cultivator, and I cultivate to defy my fate and the heavens. But now we have encountered some ups and downs. Are you so-called geniuses going to lose your will to fight?”

After speaking, he said loudly toward Guan Shuo with cupped hands, “Brother Guan, today I will fight side by side with you!”

As soon as the words fell, a voice said coldly, “Add me.”

It was Fang Yiming, the Jiuyin holy son, who spoke.

“Count me too! Although my strength is limited, I still dare to join a few of you and fight this Jiuyou Sacred Land to my heart’s content!” Wuliang Temple’s Wuzhen declared in a fierce voice.

“And me! I want to fight Jiuyou Sacred Land to the death!”

“Me too!”
