The number of cultivators within the city had also swelled considerably. Before the Demon Beast Uprising, the Ling Clan, Hundred Spirits Sect, Medicine King Valley, and Pure Heart Daoist Temple—the four great powers of Yan Kingdom—had raised the battle merit rewards for exchanging demon beast corpses, drawing in countless independent cultivators.
As a result, the various cultivators within the city numbered nearly one hundred thousand.
To avoid Liu Haochan setting up array formation ambushes along their route again, the massive demon race army of more than two million led by Crimson Burst Old Bear spent considerable time carefully probing the road ahead with their divine senses. Only after several full days did they finally arrive outside White Cloud City.
The three Third Rank grand arrays within White Cloud City immediately rose, erecting three thick defensive light barriers.
With the support of Yan Kingdom's four great powers, the cultivators in the city set up more than a hundred array formations in succession. Most were First or Second Rank formations, while only a dozen or so were Third Rank Array Formations.
However, compared to the demon race army brought by Crimson Burst Old Bear, the cultivators in White Cloud City were far wealthier.
This was entirely because the Crimson Gold Bear Race was not skilled in array formations and primarily excelled at artifact refining. As a result, the army of more than two million demon beasts Crimson Burst Old Bear had brought possessed few array formations, with only a scant handful reaching the Third Rank and merely two being Third Rank High Grade Array Formations.
Under such circumstances, White Cloud City's cultivators held the advantage in both the number and quality of their array formations. Taking advantage of this, they activated those extraordinarily powerful formations and fought the two-million-strong demon race army
