Tianshui Continent, Ningyou Dao.
This was likewise an important border battlefield in the Righteous-Demonic War.
Stationed here was Purple Sun Palace's Grand Elder Guest Official, Sikong Sheng—the only Deity Transformation Cultivator of independent cultivator origins in Tianshui Continent, and the foremost Talisman Master in the Tianshui Cultivation World.
Leading the demonic army's main assault was Mo Wuya, Grand Elder of the Profound Sect, one of Chaos Wasteland Yongzhou's Three Heavenly Sects, and a Mid-Stage Deity Transformation Cultivator.
The two sides had faced off here for more than twenty years.
Until recently, when Tianshui Continent's Combat Power had been transferred in great numbers to Guangren Dao, the demonic path seized the opportunity, surged into its territory in one stroke, and surrounded several cities.
Among them, Golden Core Sects such as Shengyun Sect and Sunset Valley had resisted to the death, only to be wiped out completely. Their sects were exterminated, with not a single survivor.
Only Purple Sun Palace's elders remained, leading numerous disciples in retreat to defend Zijun City. Yet they were merely a powerful crossbow at the end of its flight, with little time left.
At most, the demonic army would breach the city in another three to five days.
"Grand Elder!"
A Nascent Soul Cultivator of Purple Sun Palace burst into the cave abode with a grave expression and reported to a middle-aged man, "The City Protection Array is about to collapse. What should we do?"
"It must hold even if it cannot!"
Sikong Sheng said in a deep voice, "No matter what, Ningyou Dao cannot fall!"
"This junior understands!"
The Nascent Soul Cultivator's eyes were split wide with fury. "Even if we die, we cultivators should die on the battlefield of Slaying Demons and Exorcising Evils!"
"Stop shouting slogans here and go defend the city."
