Two days later, the people of the Profound Yin Church finally appeared at Wei City's west gate.
Grand Elder Wang Chengcai walked up to the gate and shouted, "City Lord of Wei City, hear me! Open the gates and surrender at once, and perhaps your lives will be spared. If you refuse, do not blame me for showing no mercy!"
"Grand Elder Wang, is it? I am Xu Qingtong, City Lord of Wei City. Take my advice and go back where you came from! Once we come to blows, ruining our friendly relations will be the least of it. Losing your lives would be rather unfortunate!"
Wang Chengcai's face flushed red, then turned pale. His lips trembling, he pointed at Wei City's gate and shouted angrily, "Attack!"
The other four Nascent Soul cultivators each summoned their treasures and attacked the city's defensive formation.
Seeing this, Xu Qingtong did not hesitate either. He took out the Yuanrong Crossbow, loaded ten Yuanrong Bolts, and aimed it at the Grand Elder.
Ever since he had successfully planted demonized garden balsam inside the Seven-Star Bracelet, Xu Qingtong had harvested some of its fruit every year. The Yuanrong Demonic Bolts refined from these fruits were more powerful than Yuanrong Spiritual Bolts, but no one other than Xu Qingtong could use them.
The others had no demonic power to activate the Yuanrong Demonic Bolts, nor did they possess the demonic treasure, the Yuanrong Crossbow.
Over more than ten years, Xu Qingtong had accumulated seven or eight hundred Yuanrong Demonic Bolts.
Thus, after summoning the Yuanrong Crossbow, Xu Qingtong loaded it to capacity with Yuanrong Bolts. He believed that with ten bolts fired in succession, not only the Grand Elder of the Profound Yin Church, but even Wei Qifeng himself might not escape unscathed from his hands!
