The Ling Clan Fell into a Perilous Situation
Half a day later.
All the Spirit Vein in the Ling Clan's An Yang County were besieged by Devil Cultivator.
Fortunately, since the Lineage acquired Ling Penglin, a Second Rank Array Formation Master, more than a decade ago, Ling Penglin has upgraded the arrays that the Lineage has set up in various Spirit Vein.
Nowadays, even those with First Rank Low Grade Spirit Vein in the Lineage have at least set up First Rank Middle Grade formations, and those with First Grade Middle Rank Spirit Vein have set up First-Tier Superior-Grade formations.
The Ling Clan had set up a Second Rank Low Grade array to protect the important places like "one city and four towns" where a large number of mortals gathered.
This also means that even if the "One City, Four Towns" are attacked by Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator each leading a hundred Qi Refining Devil Cultivator, there is not much danger for the time being.
Meanwhile, inside the "Starry Sky Cave Residence" Lingxiao Mountain.
Ling Pengxing, who was entrusted by the Clan Head Ling Yunhong to take care of the Lineage, also received Communication Talisman from the Lineage who were stationed in five places: "One city and four towns".
He stared at the five Thousand Mile Transmission Talisman in his hand, his face filled with rage.
"Damn the Poison Blood Demon Sect, how dare they touch my Ling Clan."
He patted the Storage Bag at his waist and took out four mother-and-child jade pendants engraved with "Tiger's Roar Liu Clan", "Cloud Mist Wen Clan Azure Bamboo Wang Clan" and "Peace Cloud Yang Clan", and crushed them all.
Afterwards, he left the cave abode and sought out the other three Foundation Establishment in the Lineage: Ling Pengqiu, Ling Pengshan, and Ling Penglin.
The other two Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family, Ling Pengliang and Wen Nianling, were stationed at the Rock Scale Serpent Cave in Yuanzhou and were not with the family.
Once everyone had gathered, Ling Pengxing also informed Ling Pengqiu and the other two about the Devil Cultivator invasion.
"This time, the Poison Blood Demon Sect has dispatched a full five Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator, each leading a hundred Qi Refining Devil Cultivator, to besiege the most important mortal gathering place in our Ling Clan Territory, One City, Four Towns. They must have come prepared."
"I'm afraid it won't be long before our Clan Mountain is surrounded by the Devil Cultivator of the Poison Blood Demon Sect."
"There will be a fierce battle soon, so everyone be on your guard. If our Lineage is destroyed in our hands, our sins will be immense."
Ling Pengxing addressed the three of them, including Ling Pengqiu.
"Understood, Third Brother. We are determined to protect our Lineage to the death."
Ling Pengqiu and the other two knew the seriousness of the matter and spoke solemnly one after another.
After a few breaths.
The sound of three ancient bronze bells came from the mountaintop and resounded throughout the entire Lingxiao Mountain.
A blue light curtain was also erected, enveloping the entire Lingxiao Mountain.
Suddenly, the Ling Clan Mountain, which had been shrouded in darkness, was illuminated by the lights of every household.
Dozens of elderly, weak, women and children of the Ling Clan who were in the mountains quickly rushed to the top of the Clan Mountain.
Meanwhile, in the Lingxiao Back Mountain Spirit Beast Garden.
Ling Chengyue, the Beast Tamer in charge of this place, let out a strange beastly cry.
In a short while, nearly a hundred Qi Training Stage Demon Beast gathered in front of Ling Chengyue in the Spirit Beast Garden.
"Today's battle is a test for you. If you can help the Ling Clan overcome this crisis, your food will be doubled for the next month."
Ling Chengyue looked at the nearly one hundred Qi Training Stage Demon Beast in front of her and spoke with great emotion.
Those nearly one hundred Qi Training Demon Beast seemed to understand human speech, their eyes lit up, and they all roared to show that they would do their best.
Immediately, Ling Chengyue led the nearly one hundred Qi Training Demon Beast towards the mountaintop.
Ling Chengyue is the seventeenth in the Cheng Generation and is the only Beast Tamer in the Lineage. Her beast taming rank has reached the First Rank Middle Grade. She is also the second-generation manager of the Spirit Beast Garden.
The first generation of managers, Ling Yunhan, died more than a decade ago when his lifespan was exhausted.
In just a hundred breaths, dozens of Qi Refining cultivators and nearly a hundred Qi Training Demon Beast had gathered at the Lingxiao Mountain.
Ling Pengxing, the temporary head of the family, briefly informed the clansmen about the Devil Cultivator ' intrusion into the Lineage, and then told them to prepare for battle.
As expected, less than a hundred breaths later, everyone saw more than seven hundred cultivators dressed in black, their faces concealed, Haste towards the Clan Mountain from several miles away.
Ling Clan didn't recognize these people.
Moreover, wherever those seven hundred-plus cultivators went, the demonic energy was extremely dense, and there was even a demonic cloud above them.
Their identities were undoubtedly those of Devil Cultivator.
Sword cultivator Ling Pengxing looked at the leader of the Demonic Sect among the more than seven hundred Devil Cultivator, his eyes trembled, and black lines appeared on his brows.
"Devil Cultivator at the Consummation Realm the Foundation Establishment!"
"It seems the leader of the Poison Blood Demon Sect has come here personally."
Then, his gaze shifted, and seeing that there were still seven Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator, his brows furrowed even more.
"Adding the five Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator who besieged the Lineage's city and four towns, that makes a total of thirteen Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator. They've poured all their strength into attacking my Ling Clan... Good... very good indeed."
Ling Pengxing's eyes gradually turned red, and the overwhelming and fierce killing intent that he usually concealed soared into the sky.
The enemy is strong, and the situation is difficult.
But the Lineage cannot be broken.
If enemies come, he will use his Sword Slash them all down, paving the way for his Lineage.
"Since the time of the Devil Cultivator, my Ling Clan clan members have sworn to defend our Clan Mountain to the death."
"Immortal Spirit, Peng Qiu, Peng Shan, Peng Lin, and the other seven Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator, you will hold them off."
"I'll take on that Demonic Foundation Establishment Completion."
Ling Pengxing, standing amidst the crowd Lingxiao Mountain, spoke loudly with a murderous look on his face.
Then, he summoned eighteen Second Grade Middle Rank Purple Star Flying Sword.
"Earthly Fiend Sword Formation".
"Rise!"
Each of the eighteen Purple Star Flying Sword flashed with a purple spiritual light, Sword Qi quickly connected.
More than nine hundred Sword Qi surged from the eighteen swords, converging into a massive torrent of Sword Qi.
"Go."
The massive torrent of Sword Qi energy transformed into a long purple dragon that shone brightly in the darkness, carrying an overwhelming force, its target being the Demonic Sect Leader among the more than seven hundred Devil Cultivator a few miles away.
Upon seeing the power emanating from the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation, the leader of the Demonic Sect inexplicably felt a sense of danger.
"I haven't felt this way in decades. I never expected that a mere Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer cultivator would make me feel this sense of danger again."
"This Sword Formation seems quite powerful. If I can obtain it, my strength will surely be enhanced once again."
"Heh! Heh! Heh!"
The leader of the demonic sect, like a madman, let out two strange laughs, and his demonic aura soared into the sky.
A dark green flying sword engraved with skull runes suddenly appeared from the demonic energy, carrying endless dark green poisonous gas to meet the oncoming massive Sword Formation.
The two collided quickly.
The massive Sword Formation was at a disadvantage in the very first move.
Each time the eighteen Purple Star Flying Sword that were gathered in the Sword Formation were struck by the dark green skull flying sword, a huge crack would appear on the blade.
The endless poisonous gas conjured by the dark green skull flying sword completely eroded the sword Sword-Ray emanating from the Sword Formation.
"The aura of this flying sword is... Magic Treasure Cone Shape?"
"It seems that this sword is the famous Poison Blood Demon Sect Flying Sword, the sacred Law Artifact the Poison Blood Skull Flying Sword Cult."
Ling Pengxing was startled.
"They are truly well-prepared."
With a flick of his Daoist robe, his Sword Qi intensified.
A golden streak of light shot out from his Dantian and rushed into the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation outside the mountain, which was shrouded in poisonous gas.
"My destiny is the catalyst!"
"Earthly Fiends as auxiliary elements!"
"Geng Metal Purple Star Sword Aura!"
"Out!"
Within that patch of poisonous gas, purple starlight and golden spiritual light flashed brilliantly.
A clear, crisp sword cry resounded in all directions.
The next moment, a flying sword covered in purple sword patterns but with a golden body swept out with a massive Sword-Ray twenty feet long, dispelling the poisonous gas that had covered several feet.
Even the Magic Treasure Cone Shape Poison Blood Skull Flying Sword was sent flying several feet away by this unexpected attack.
"The sword cultivator's methods are indeed formidable!"
This attack startled even the leader of the Demonic Sect, who began to take Ling Pengxing, this formidable enemy, seriously.
He waved his hand and cast a Law Seals into the Poison Blood Skull Flying Sword, stabilizing the sword.
Subsequently, the poisonous gas emanating from the sword gathered together, and a huge, dark green Sword-Ray, twenty-five feet in length, burst forth from the tip of the sword.
The dark green flying sword once again charged towards the "Geng Metal Purple Star Flying Sword".
The Geng Metal Purple Star Flying Sword was prepared and collided squarely with it.
"Clang!"
A clanging sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out.
Although Ling Pengxing's special "Sword Fusion Technique" was still at a disadvantage, it managed to block the Magic Treasure Cone Shape Poison Blood Skull Flying Sword Poison Blood Skull Flying Sword and engage in a fierce battle with it.
at the same time.
The remaining cultivators from both sides also clashed.
The Immortal Spirit Crane King, who had been stuck at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer for nearly ten years, used his powerful "combination Law Technique" Feather Arrow Cyclone Qi to entangle three Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator by himself.
Ling Pengqiu, a powerful fighter skilled in Fire Element Law Technique and with a cultivation level as high as the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer, unleashed his Second Grade Middle Rank Lifebound Magic Item, the "Crimson Fire Dragon Flame Fan," and unleashed a series of enormous crimson fire snakes, each eleven feet long.
Fire Element Law Technique belongs to the pure Yang, and the power of crimson flames is the nemesis of demonic energy.
For a moment, he actually managed to hold off two Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator Devil Cultivator this Fire Element Law Technique, and even suppressed them.
Five years ago, Ling Pengshan broke through to the Foundation Establishment Third Layer. Considering that the Foundation Establishment Third Layer bottleneck was extremely solid, he took the Second Rank High Grade Purple Moon Spirit Fruit he obtained during his trip to the Golden Horn Grassland.
With this result, he successfully entered the Fourth Layer Foundation Establishment.
It can be considered that the precious Second Rank High Grade Purple Moon Spirit Fruit was not wasted.
With his strength at the Fourth Layer Foundation Establishment, plus the two Lineage Lifebound Magic Item in his hands, "Earth Armor Twin Hammers," which had been tempered to the Second Grade Middle Rank and weighed as much as 50,000 jin with the help of his family, he was also engaged in a fierce battle with a veteran Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator from the Demonic Sect.
Although Ling Penglin was the weakest among these Foundation Establishment cultivators, with a cultivation level of only the Foundation Establishment Third Layer.
However, by relying on the methods of Second Rank Array Formation Master to control the Second Rank High Grade clan protection array "Frost Ice Cloud Grand Array", she managed to block the remaining Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator cultivator outside the mountain.
Furthermore, with the continuous supply of Spiritual Qi from the Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Vein in Lingxiao Mountain, the Frost Ice Cloud Grand Array still has considerable reserves.
They unleashed a barrage of ice arrows, attacking the more than seven hundred Qi Training Stage Devil Cultivator outside the mountain.
Although those Qi Training Stage Devil Cultivator possessed formidable combat power thanks to their Devil Cultivator methods, they were still somewhat outmatched by the powerful ice arrows conjured by the Second Rank High Grade array.
In an instant, dozens of weaker Qi Refining cultivators at the early and mid-stages of Devil Cultivator were killed.
Meanwhile, the dozens of the Ling Clan Qi Refining cultivators in the mountains also launched powerful Spirit Talisman Cave distributed by their clan and their own magical Law Artifact at the more than seven hundred Devil Cultivator outside the mountains.
Ling Chengyue led nearly a hundred Qi Training Stage Demon Beast, who also unleashed hundreds of Law Technique attacks at this moment.
Because the Ling Clan clan was protected by the Transformed Defense Light Screen the Clan Protection Array, the attacks launched by the seven hundred Qi Training Stage Devil Cultivator outside the mountain were all blocked by the array's light barrier.
In contrast, the more than seven hundred Qi Refining Devil Cultivator could only rely on their own defensive methods to block the fierce attacks launched by the numerous cultivators and Demon Beast in Lingxiao Mountain.
This also slowed down their attack on the formation.
Seeing this, the leader of the Poison Blood Demon Sect frowned and had no choice but to expend his spiritual power to summon his second Magic Treasure Cone Shape "Poison Blood Skull Cover".
The shield flew above the Devil Cultivator cultivators, transforming into a huge dark green shield that protected all seven hundred-plus Devil Cultivator in the surrounding area, blocking the attacks launched from Lingxiao Mountain for those seven hundred-plus Qi Refining Devil Cultivator.
This action also allowed the more than 700 Qi Refining Devil Cultivator who were previously busy with defense to now focus their full efforts on attacking the Clan Protection Formation of the Ling Xiao Clan Mountain.
More than 700 Qi Refining Devil Cultivator is already a considerable number, and Devil Cultivator are inherently stronger than cultivators of the same level.
In an instant, the attacks launched by these seven hundred-plus Devil Cultivator Qi Refining caused the light barrier erected by the Mountain Protection Formation of Lingxiao Mountain to Ripples Marketplace.
In addition, this formation did not go all out in defense, and Ling Penglin used most of his strength to fight the enemy, which left some gaps in the defense.
The protective light barrier erected by this formation gradually dimmed.
If Ling Penglin were to focus all her efforts on maintaining the defensive formation at this moment, abandoning control of the formation to fight against that Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator cultivator, she might be able to stabilize the formation's defense.
However, if this is done, the powerful mid- Foundation Establishment Realm Devil Cultivator will have spare energy to bombard the formation.
This move only hastened the fall of Lingxiao Mountain.
In just a few dozen breaths, the situation shifted.
The Ling Clan also fell into a disadvantageous position.
