The Demon Lord Attacks
In Tianyu City of the Xia Kingdom, the Second Imperial Princess Si Yan, was cultivating in the palace when suddenly, the palace shook, and an extremely terrifying aura descended!
Si Yan felt her soul tremble, and an endless despair welled up in her heart.
Her pretty face turned pale, and she immediately summoned her Flying Sword, soaring into the sky.
"That is..."
Si Yan saw a crack appear in space above Tianyu City, from which monstrous Demon Qi surged forth, blotting out Spatial Rift sky and dark clouds pressing down on the city.
A terrifying, demonic Demon Qi, unlike anything seen before.
Si Yan's current cultivation level is the Dao Palace Realm, Third Layer. She is a genius among the rogue Rogue Cultivators in the Xia Kingdom. However, in the face of this terrifying demonic Demon Qi, Si Yan is as insignificant as an ant.
What's going on?
"Tianyu City has tens of thousands of Rogue Cultivators, and it's located near Mount Shu. How dare Great Demon attack Tianyu City? They're truly courting death."
"But this Demon Qi aura is terrifying; it is absolutely the most terrifying Demon Qi I have ever seen in my life."
Like Si Yan, the Rogue Cultivators in Tianyu City flew on their swords into the air, staring in panic at the Spatial Rift that had appeared above Tianyu City, unsure of what would happen next.
The imperial guards and city defense troops of Tianyu City were immediately mobilized, and the entire city was placed under martial law. The princes and Imperial Princess appeared, flying on their swords and transforming into streaks of golden light, which were distributed in important locations throughout the city.
The Great Xia Academy of Letters was also alerted.
Many Great Confucian at the Nascent Soul Realm and Dao Palace Realms looked at the Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor without prior agreement.
Over the years, the Grand Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor has reached the Dao Palace Realm, Eighth Layer, making him one of the most powerful cultivators in the Xia Kingdom.
The Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor gazed at the endless, suffocating dark clouds of demonic Demon Qi, his long robe soaked with sweat.
Despite his cultivation at the Dao Palace Realm, Eighth Layer, he felt a sense of despair and powerlessness.
"You all wait here while I go and invite the master to come out of seclusion."
The Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor took a deep breath and immediately rushed into the Bamboo Grove of the Academy of Letters.
This overwhelming demonic Demon Qi was beyond his ability to handle.
In a thatched hut nestled among Bamboo Groves, an elderly man with white hair held a scroll in his left hand, gazing at the endless Demon Qi in the Firmament with a furrowed brow.
Despite his advanced age, the old man was in high spirits, wearing Four-Cornered Peace Turban, a dark robe with wide sleeves and black edges, and exuding Righteous Qi.
Upon seeing the old man, the Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor bowed respectfully and said, "This Demon Qi is of extraordinary origin and could be a catastrophic disaster for our Tianyu City. I am unable to handle it and beg you, Master, for your assistance."
The old man's eyes were as deep as stars. "The Lord of Demon Qi has a cultivation level exceeding the Void Refinement Realm."
"This... this is impossible..."
The Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor trembled.
The Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor was only two realms below the Void Refinement Realm, so he naturally knew how terrifying the Void Refinement Realm was. And the owner of this terrifying Demon Qi was actually a Dao Integration Realm expert?
Dao Integration Realm expert could easily crush him.
"Then, teacher..."
"Even I am no match for him, but perhaps I can buy him some time. Quickly, go and ask Mount Shu for help."
The student complied immediately.
The Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor took out an Earth-Escaping Divine Talisman, infused it with Righteous Qi, and the Earth-Escaping Divine Talisman emitted a pale yellow light.
Tianyu City is located at the foot of Mount Shu, but in order to save time, the Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor used Talisman to travel directly to the gate of Mount Shu.
"I am the Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor! The situation is urgent! Quickly, take me to see your Sect Master!"
The Grand Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor hurriedly took out the token given to him by the Mount Shu.
Sensing the urgency of the Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor, the Elders and disciples guarding the gates of Mount Shu rushed to the Sect Master Taiyuan True Person.
"The Demon Lord is finally going to make his real move. We must lure Demon Lord to our Mount Shu and activate the Mountain-Guarding Formation."
"With the combined efforts of our many Grand Supreme Elders and Elders, the mountain-protecting Mountain-Guarding Formation Mount Shu is enough to annihilate the Demon Lord."
The Grand Supreme Elders Mount Shu gathered at Myriad Sword Peak, exchanging words of confidence in Mount Shu's Mountain-Guarding Formation.
The Mountain-Guarding Formation of Mount Shu is Peerless Grand Formation set up by the Mount Shu Dao Ancestor.
Taiyuan True Person said in a heavy tone, "You're thinking too simply. The Demon Lord didn't attack Mount Shu directly, but instead appeared in Tianyu City. This is a deliberate attempt to lure us from Mount Shu people out, preventing us from activating the Mountain-Guarding Formation. Presumably, the Demon Sects has already informed the Demon Lord of the power of our Mount Shu Mountain-Guarding Formation, and the Demon Lord is wary of it."
The numerous Grand Supreme Elders exchanged bewildered glances, remaining completely silent.
The Demon Lord conquered Great Demon in the Desolate Province by his own strength, built Demon Race army, and planned to unify this world. He was by no means a brute who only knew how to cultivate.
Even Demon Lord wouldn't dare to easily attempt the Mountain-Guarding Formation Mount Shu.
The Mount Shu Mountain-Guarding Formation is the most powerful among the Six Great Sects.
The peak master of Chaoyuan Peak said, "Taiyuan, you are the sect leader, what do you suggest we do?"
"For hundreds of thousands of years, our Mount Shu has taken it upon itself to uphold justice and vanquish demons. Now that countless lives are being lost, how can we stand idly by? We will descend the mountain and join other sects to fight off the Demon Race and cover the retreat of millions of people from Tianyu City to Mount Shu."
"Good!"
The Grand Supreme Elders of Mount Shu remained steadfast in their Daoist resolve even on the brink of life and death.
When Mount Shu was founded, its purpose was to slay demons and protect Xia Province.
With the sudden emergence of the Demon Lord, Mount Shu has an inescapable responsibility.
"The Demon Lord has attacked! Tianyu City is in imminent danger! Elders and disciples of Mount Shu, proceed to the Mount Shu Main Hall to await orders!"
The Taiyuan True Person transmitted his voice to each of the peaks of Mount Mount Shu.
"The Calamity prophesied by the Dao Ancestor has finally arrived. My current cultivation level is only at the Second Layer Peak of the Void Refinement Realm; I am definitely not the One Destined to Face the Tribulation as foretold by the Dao Ancestor. Junior Brother Lu, this time we may have to rely on you again."
Senior Brother Li Changye, carrying an Immortal Sword, led his disciple Xiao Xiangdao, flying on the sword towards the Mount Shu Main Hall.
The purple qi above Azure Cloud Peak had not yet dissipated, and Lu Changsheng was still trying his best to break through.
"I, Zhao Wuyan, have now Dao Palace Realm Seventh Layer."
As one of the Personal Disciples of Taiyuan True Person, the Mount Shu Sect Master, Elder Zhao Wuyan of Finger Moon Peak possessed exceptional talent. After Taiyuan True Person taught Zhao Wuyan the Taiqing Wuji Art, Zhao Wuyan went into seclusion to cultivate for a period of time, and his cultivation level rose from the Dao Palace Realm Fifth Layer Dao Palace Realm Seventh Layer.
In fact, Zhao Wuyan's cultivation speed was what a normal genius should have. It was just that the cultivation of the master and disciples at Azure Cloud Peak advanced by leaps and bounds, which made Zhao Wuyan's cultivation progress seem slow.

"You will all follow me to the Mount Shu Main Hall to assemble and await the Sect Master's orders."
"Yes!"
The Finger Moon Peak Disciple followed Zhao Wuyan to the Mount Shu Main Hall to assemble.
"Junior Brother Lu is still in seclusion. If we give him enough time, the Demon Lord Junior Brother Lu nothing to us. Perhaps the Demon Lord had a premonition, which is why he attacked at this time."
Before leaving Finger Moon Peak, Zhao Wuyan glanced in the direction of Azure Cloud Peak and saw purple qi clouds rising from the east above it, indicating that Lu Changsheng had been in seclusion for some time.
In the Mount Shu Main Hall, Elders and disciples from hundreds of peaks gathered, including Murong Shi, Chen Yao, and other disciples from Jade Moon Peak.
Chen Yao looked around at everyone present but did not see Lin Qingzhi, the Chief Grand Disciple Azure Cloud Peak.
The peak master of Biyue Peak, leaning on his wooden cane, saw through his disciple's thoughts. "The sect leader has ordered that the disciples of Qingyun Peak wait for that brat Lu Changsheng to emerge from seclusion before joining us."
