Beast Surprise Attack, Hearts in Turmoil
"It possesses the innate divine Divine Ability ' Thunderflash Escape.' Even if I were to defeat it using the power of my Tier 3 High-grade Law Artifact, the ' Mountain-Splitting Soul-Severing Axe,' I might not be able to find an opportunity to severely injure or kill it."
"Moreover, those Six-Winged Golden Butterfly butterflies are already close to the Mid-Purple Mansion realm. If they join forces, even I will have to deal with them seriously, but it will be difficult to defeat them."
"Even if I manage to stop these two Demon Beast, do you think you can kill the Blueflame Fox and the Ice Python?"
Hearing this, Xu Daoyuan shook his head, somewhat disappointed, and said, "With my strength, in a one-on-one fight, I could defeat them all myself."
"But if I were to be attacked by two Early Purple Mansion realm Demon Beast, I could at most hold them off; I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to kill them."
"I am not afraid of these four Purple Mansion Demon Beast alone." Patriarch Yang shook his head and continued, "However, the whereabouts of the Purple-Spotted Wolf King are unknown. If we rashly go into battle and fall into an ambush, we may suffer a complete defeat."
"For now, we should rely on the city's defensive formations and wait until we can ascertain the Purple-Spotted Wolf King's movements before making any further decisions."
After the two patriarchs made their decision and obtained the consent of Heavenly Ruins Mountain, they began to rely on the formation of Yuyang Market for defense.
When the Demon Beast army arrived outside the city, several Purple Mansion Demon Beast revealed cold glints in their eyes. After discussing for a while, they began to command the Demon Beast army to attack the City-Protecting Array.
The Heavenly Sword Demon-Slaying Formation in the city was immediately activated, and beams of sword light shot into the sky, continuously transforming into a rain of swords that fell from the sky, leaving the Demon Beast army with corpses strewn across the battlefield.
The few Purple Mansion Demon Beast didn't care about the deaths and injuries of the lower-level Demon Beast; instead, they allowed the Demon Beast army to continue attacking the formation.
To these Purple Mansion Demon Beast beasts, these low-level Demon Beast with their limited intelligence are no different from wild beasts, and no matter how many die or are injured, it will not make them feel sorry.
The very act of driving a beast tide to attack Human Race territory was intended to deplete the number of low-level Demon Beast and prevent the ecological collapse of the territory.
Using these low-level Demon Beast to deplete the power of the Human Race's formation can be considered making the best use of them.
In the eyes of these Purple Mansion Demon Beast, as long as they eventually breach the Human Race city, any number of low-level Demon Beast killed or wounded would be a worthwhile deal.
The attack by the Demon Beast army lasted for more than half a month, with the Purple Mansion Demon Beast constantly driving low-level Demon Beast to attack Yuyang Market.
The Spirit Spring in Yuyang Market couldn't last long, so everyone had no choice but to expend their Law Power and have thousands of low-level cultivators take turns activating the formation.
Fortunately, with over five thousand cultivators taking turns providing spiritual energy, and Purple Mansion cultivator personally leading the formation, the Heavenly Sword Demon-Slaying Formation displayed astonishing power, managing to hold on for a while.
In the midst of a frenzied attack lasting half a month, the Demon Beast were repelled dozens of times by the Heavenly Sword Demon-Slaying Formation. Nearly half of the 30,000 Demon Beast perished, and even dozens of Foundation Establishment Demon Beast were killed.
In the end, the low-level Demon Beast were so terrified that they dared not attack no matter how the Purple Mansion Demon Beast tried to command them.
Left with no other choice, the four Purple Mansion Demon Beast gave up trying to drive them away and instead surrounded Yuyang Market, seemingly waiting for the best opportunity to strike.
"They've finally stopped attacking."
Seeing that the Demon Beast army had stopped attacking, everyone in Yuyang Market breathed a sigh of relief.
After activating the grand formation for half a month in a row, the low-level cultivators in the city have exhausted their Law Power multiple times and are mentally exhausted from the high-intensity battles.
If the Demon Beast continue their attack, the City-Protecting Array will soon cease to function, leaving everyone with either the option of using their Spirit Stone reserves or the necessity of personally engaging the Demon Beast in a desperate fight.
The Yuyang Market has stockpiled 100,000 Spirit Stone this time, mainly to guard against high-level Purple Mansion like the Purple-Spotted Wolf King. Since the Purple-Spotted Wolf King has not yet been seen, they dare not rashly exhaust their Spirit Stone.
Without utilizing their Spirit Stone reserves, engaging in direct combat with Demon Beast would be extremely brutal, regardless of the outcome; many would perish in the calamity.
"Take this time to adjust your mindset, replenish your Law Power, and restore your cultivation."
Seeing that the Demon Beast had ceased fighting, Patriarch Yang immediately ordered everyone to seize the time to restore their fighting strength.
The Demon Beast began to surround the area without attacking, and in the blink of an eye, another month had passed. Then one day, a shocking message arrived.
"Has the Purple-Spotted Wolf King arrived in Feng Commandery?"
Inside the main hall of Yuyang Market, dozens of cultivators gathered together, all revealing expressions of shock.
Not long ago, a terrifying message came from Feng Commandery: the Purple-Spotted Wolf King, leading 30,000 Demon Beast, had bypassed the Heavenly Fate Mountain Range and directly invaded Feng Commandery.
Feng Commandery was suddenly attacked. Caught off guard, several Second-Order Spirit Vein were breached, and more than a dozen Qi Refining realm Immortals and one Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan were slaughtered overnight. More than 100,000 mortals became food for the Demon Beast.
Now, the Purple-Spotted Wolf King's army has even reached Fengyang Market and surrounded the Marketplace.
"How can it be possible!"
"How could the Purple-Spotted Wolf King have bypassed the Heavenly Fate Mountain Range and arrived in Feng Commandery in such a short time?"
Among the crowd, Liu Jueyan spoke incredulously, a hint of panic in her eyes.
This time, the Purple-Spotted Wolf King ambushed and attacked from tens of thousands of miles away, Liu Immortal Clan suffered a great misfortune. The Lineage's mountain gate and dojo were attacked by the Demon Beast, and almost all the cultivators who remained were killed or wounded.
Fortunately, their mortal city was relatively far from their Lineage's dojo, and the Purple-Spotted Wolf King was in a hurry to attack Fengyang Market, so he didn't pay attention to them for the time being. Their Human Race base had not yet been attacked.
However, once the Demon Beast breach Fengyang Market, the Liu Clan will have no chance of survival; their mortal city will surely be destroyed by the Demon Beast.
Thinking of this, Liu Jueyan could no longer sit still. She stood up and said loudly, "Everyone, Feng Commandery is currently under attack. As a cultivator from Feng Commandery, I cannot stand idly by."
"We hope that the two seniors will allow us to return to the war effort and provide support."
In fact, not only her, but also the five Foundation Establishment cultivators who came from Feng Commandery showed anxious expressions, clearly having no intention of staying any longer.
Even Xu Daoyuan couldn't sit still. As the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan Xu Immortal Clan Feng Commandery, if Feng Commandery were to be breached, the first to suffer would probably be the millions of mortals in the Xu Clan.
Thinking of this, he looked at Patriarch Yang and said urgently.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, the calamity in Feng Commandery is no small matter."
"Having survived several Beast Turmoil, if you have any solutions, please make a decision quickly."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Patriarch Yang.
Looking at the gazes of the crowd, the over 350-year-old Patriarch Yang couldn't help but smile wryly as he spoke.
"In previous years, when the Beast Turmoil, the Azure Sun Sect would send four or five Purple Mansion Ancestors to the Border Province to lend us a hand."
"Now that the Earth Lion Ridge is so powerful, the Azure Sun Sect is already struggling to protect itself, and they are even unwilling to send a single Purple Mansion over."
"If it weren't for Patriarch Jiang's early intervention, which allowed him to breach Demon Wolf Mountain decades ago and kill two Purple Mansion Demon Wolf and two Purple Mansion Demon Roc, we would probably be in an even more difficult situation now."
