Chapter 334 People in Panic
Half a day after Zhang Lingyu used the intelligence system to grasp the current movements of the demon race, Tianliu City finally received the news.
Blood Dragon Stronghold rebelled, and the Qinglin Mountain formation collapsed without a fight!
The entire city was in uproar.
In addition, the defenses of Lingyue Mountain and Yunyin Valley have been breached, and now the beast tide and demonic cultivators have poured into Yanxing County and begun burning, killing, and looting.
Most of the cultivators who received the news were momentarily stunned.
Now that the defense line has been breached, the demonic beasts and demonic cultivators can run rampant in the surrounding counties of Yanxing County. You should know that the foundations of the various cultivator families gathered here are all in these counties!
In order to deal with the beast tide, almost all the cultivators of each sect were transferred here, and the mountain protection formation was not as capable of resisting Nascent Soul cultivators as the six sects.
The Golden Core Formation, left unattended, would shatter at the slightest touch from a Golden Core cultivator or a Demon King!
If we don't hurry back, our savings of hundreds or even thousands of years will be destroyed in an instant.
If we can get back to defend the area before the monsters break through Yanxing County, we still have time!
Upon learning the news, the six clans of Zhao immediately summoned their representatives and engaged in a heated debate over whether each clan should be allowed to leave on its own to fight the fire.
"Fellow Daoists of the Six Sects, two passes have been breached, and one has been surrendered without a fight. The fall of Yanxing County is a foregone conclusion. If we do not return quickly, are we to simply watch our families be destroyed and our people perish?"
"Yes, all six of your sects are located in the heartland, but we are right next to Yanxing County!"
"Yes, yes, please, Your Excellencies, allow us to return!"
Inside the hall, the Golden Core cultivators who had come to provide support from various prefectures were all flushed, their voices hoarse from worry or anger.
Normally, they would be humble and subservient even when facing the six Golden Core cultivators.
Things are different now; the situation has reached a critical point, and some people even dare to provoke a Nascent Soul cultivator.
However, despite this, it is currently wartime, and they are all under the jurisdiction of the Six Sects. If they are not allowed to leave, they will not be able to leave even if they want to.
Seeing the anxious looks on the cultivators' faces, True Person Xuan Shui frowned and advised:
"I know the situation is urgent, and all families are facing a life-or-death moment. But if everyone leaves, Tianliu City will be left vulnerable. Then we can launch a surprise attack, and the city will surely fall!"
"If this city falls, the southern defense line will surely collapse completely, leaving no room for recovery!"
For thousands of years, it is precisely because of this city that cultivators have been able to continuously keep demonic beasts out and defend their territory.
If the city falls, even if we survive this calamity, what will happen in the future?
In the future, cultivators will have to pay an even higher price to deal with each beast tide!
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Shui is right. Perhaps the demon race and the Chu army are not far from Tianliu City at all. They are waiting for this news to spread so that we will lose our composure and then turn around to attack!"
Master Chenxuan from the Chenyun Sect of the Yue Kingdom also spoke up, saying, "I hope everyone will wait a little longer until our people return before we talk about it."
"That's right. There are several defensive lines behind Lingyue Mountain, Yunyin Valley, and Qinglin Mountain, all guarded by Golden Core cultivators. If they are breached, it's not too late for everyone to leave on their own." Xuan Shui Zhenren interjected.
After hearing this, everyone calmed down.
Yes, if we really wanted to enter Yanxing County from Qinglin Mountain, why bother with all this trouble?
Entering directly from there would make it easier to catch them off guard.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Shui is absolutely right; it was our oversight..."
"That's right, we almost fell into the trap set by those demonic cultivators."
Having temporarily calmed the crowd, Master Xuanshui breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Even so, we cannot ignore the defensive lines behind Qinglin Mountain. We still need to send people to provide support and try our best to delay their advance..."
Having said that, he began to make arrangements.
Zhang Lingyu stood silently to the side, shaking her head inwardly.
It's too late...

Sure enough, just as everyone was busily preparing to go and provide support, a pitiful cry suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Where are you venerable masters? I long to see you!"
The cultivators' hearts sank, and they secretly cried out in alarm. Just then, the palace doors opened, and a cultivator with a severed right arm and covered in blood stumbled in.
Upon seeing the person in question, he collapsed to the ground, sobbing and crying, "Fellow cultivators... Xiaoxiu Mountain and Dingxiang Temple have been breached by demonic beasts and evil cultivators!"
"What?!"
The entire audience erupted in uproar!
Master Xuan Shui stood up abruptly, staring intently at him and demanding, "You...say that again!"
"Xiaoxiu Mountain and Dingxiang Temple have been breached by demonic beasts and evil cultivators... All the fellow cultivators who guarded those places have perished, leaving only me to escape."
"How could it be... so fast? Tell me in detail!"
There's no other reason than that Xiaoxiu Mountain and Dingxiang Temple are the second line of defense behind Qinglin Mountain and Lingyue Mountain!
The cultivator hurriedly said, "I am a Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding Xiaoxiu Mountain. Half a day ago, a demon king and a Golden Core cultivator suddenly attacked the formation with demonic beasts and demonic cultivators. We fought hard to resist, and although we could not defeat them, we have been struggling to hold on with the formation."
"He merely tossed out a gourd, and endless black water gushed forth from it, instantly breaking the great formation. The Fire Cloud True Man and his fellow cultivators, responsible for guarding it, all perished..."
These words caused the cultivators, who had just been calmed down, to become restless again.
Upon hearing Xuan Shui's words, the cultivators assumed it was a trick by the demonic cultivators to lure them away from the mountain. However, they were surprised to find that the other party was serious and actually broke into Qinglin Mountain.
Judging from the description, if the old man in hemp clothing wasn't Xuanyou Old Man, then who was he?
"Xuan You...you actually dared to do that!"
The previously silent True Monarch Kuilin's forehead veins bulged as he turned sharply to face the man, shouting, "How did you survive when a Nascent Soul cultivator attacked? And how did you know that Dingxiang Temple had also been destroyed?!"
"My lord... it was that Nascent Soul cultivator who deliberately let me return, saying he wanted me to come back and deliver a message. He also told me that the Dingxiang Temple had been breached, saying that a demon emperor had already gone to attack the formation." The cultivator was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly.
It's not just a thought, it's definitely the Blood Demon Emperor!
With the Demon Emperor making his move, how could the Golden Core Formation possibly remain unbroken?
In this way, all the passes near the Wanling Mountains in Yanxing County will be breached, and the demonic beasts and demonic cultivators will soon be able to sweep the county clean and move on to other counties.
Upon hearing this, the Golden Core cultivators who had been about to leave earlier stood up again and bowed to True Monarch Kui Lin, saying, "True Monarch, we cannot wait any longer. If we are any later, the foundation of our families and sects will be destroyed!"
Once the demonic beasts and demonic cultivators break through the barriers, they will soon be able to enter other counties.
In order to achieve a complete sweep, it is necessary to disperse, which is what the demonic cultivators hope for, but it is also their opportunity.
Facing a single demon king or a Golden Core demon cultivator, they might be able to hold their ground, or even kill them!
The conversation among the crowd brought the atmosphere in the hall to a fever pitch once again.
If they could have kept the situation stable before, now that such concrete news has arrived, it is no longer possible to stabilize public sentiment.
Are we really going to bind all the cultivators here and let them watch as demonic beasts and evil cultivators destroy their own foundation?
Liu Zong could not bear such infamy.
Kuilin Zhenjun looked at everyone, sighed inwardly, waved his hand weakly, and said, "Since that's the case, then everyone should go their separate ways..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
The cultivators turned to look, and saw Zhang Lingyu step forward, solemnly saying, "Everyone, perhaps we still have a chance to leave the demonic beasts and demonic cultivators in Yanxing County!"
