The alliance has now been formalized.
Purgatory City: The Avici Purgatory, the Blue Heaven and Yellow Springs Hall.
Nebula City: A group of independent Rogue Cultivator led by Yuezheng Chi.
Demon King City: Ye Qiubai, Xiao Hei, Lin Zhinan Mu Fusheng, Gu Xi, Su Muyou, Immortal Ape Village, Chi Bing.
It appears that Ye Qiubai's allied team has the advantage.
Both in terms of numbers and apparent strength.
Then there is the Rogue Cultivator Alliance represented by Yuezheng Chi, whose strength is not bad, and the individual strength of each person is comparable to the geniuses of those top forces!
The Purgatory City has the fewest inhabitants.
On the way.
Lin Zhinan then thought of this question, stroking his chin thoughtfully, "How exactly will they compensate for their numerical disadvantage?"
"In a city battle, where the difference in strength is not too great, the advantage of numbers will become extremely apparent!"
When there are too many people, they have a natural advantage whether they are flanking, launching a direct frontal attack, or conducting a multi-pronged defense.
Ye Qiubai was also pondering this question, "The rules stated that there was no limit to the number of people in each city. So, if everyone happens to choose to be in the same city, wouldn't that mean victory without a fight, and everyone could get the rewards?"
Mu Fusheng shook his head and said, "That's the strangest thing. According to others, Severed Soul City is an extremely dangerous place, as can be seen from the previous two trials."
"Then this final step will definitely not be easy either."
"Could it be...?"
Suddenly, Lin Zhinan and Mu Fusheng said simultaneously, "If we both choose one city, Severed Soul City will definitely not let us pass the test so easily. There will definitely be other options in the other two cities!"
Ye Qiubai nodded. "So, the side with fewer people might receive supplies from Severed Soul City?"
Upon hearing this...
Everyone looked on in realization.
Only this explanation can account for what is stated in the rules.
There was nothing particularly special about the scenery along the way.
Beyond the woods lies a rugged desert.
Finally, they arrived at a plain filled with black demonic energy.
Even the soil was completely black.
And when we arrived at this point...
Ye Qiubai and the others could already see the outline of a small city.
After entering...
The city was nothing special.
However, in the center there are three stone pillars that reach from the sky to the earth!
It is filled with the power of sealing and suppression.
The sealing and suppressing power here is many times stronger than the suppressing power on the outside.
The entire city is square in shape.
The city walls surrounded it on all sides.
There is a city gate in every direction.
When Ye Qiubai and the others reached the north gate, the gate opened automatically.
"Go in."
Ye Qiubai and the others stepped through the city gate.
The moment they stepped through the city gate, they discovered that the skull outline on the back of their hands was filled with the character "demon" in the center.
Obviously.
This mark is a symbol used to record the city to which one belongs.
At this moment, Lin Zhinan said, "There are some things we should discuss beforehand."
Everyone turned to look at Lin Zhinan.
Lin Zhinan explained, "If it's a city battle, then we must choose a lord and an army. Without a leader, if everyone fights independently, it will be a disorganized mess, making it easy for the enemy to find weaknesses and defeat us one by one!"
Su Muyou glanced at him sideways and asked, "You want to be the team leader?"
"No, no, no," Lin Zhinan quickly waved his hand and laughed, "Miss Su, don't make me sound like I'm trying to fight for power."
"Then who will do it?"
Lin Zhinan smiled and looked at Ye Qiubai, saying, " Brother Ye, how was your arrival?"
This is not a case of praising someone to death.
Lin Zhinan explained, " Brother Ye is the senior brother of Brother Xiao Hei and Brother Mu, and you two have also defeated us before."
"Our strength is recognized by all of us."
"So, what are your thoughts, Brother Ye?"
Ye Qiubai looked at the others.
Everyone else turned their attention to themselves.
There was not a hint of objection.
Seeing this, Ye Qiubai nodded and said, "In that case, I will temporarily take over as team leader. If you feel there is anything inappropriate, please feel free to bring it up."
Lin Zhinan smiled and said, "Alright, Brother Ye, you can start assigning tasks now."
Ye Qiubai thought for a moment, then began to speak, " Lin Zhinan, you will serve as the strategist."
" Mu Fusheng, as the rear support, you will inscribe talismans and first construct the city's defenses."
Mu Fusheng and Lin Zhinan both nodded.
These are all areas where they excel.
" Su Muyou, lead some men to inspect the east gate."
" Xiao Hei, you..."
When Ye Qiubai looked at Xiao Hei.
But they found that Xiao Hei was staring intently at the three stone pillars in the center, completely absorbed.
Seeing this, Ye Qiubai said, " Xiao Hei, if you have anything you want, go and take a look first."
Xiao Hei didn't refuse and immediately headed in that direction.
Under the suppression of those three stone pillars.
He could sense that what he needed was below!
It was as if it were pulling at his soul!
As you move forward, the closer you get, the more you can feel fragments of memories flashing wildly through your mind!
Very likely.
One of the fragments of a soul.
Right at the very center, beneath the three stone pillars that suppress it!
Xiao Hei urgently needs to figure out the truth of the matter.
Ye Qiubai, on the other hand, was assigning tasks.
First, we need to fully understand the structure of the Demon King City.
After all, they didn't yet understand the structure of the Demon King City.
The structure of a single city is not even fully understood.
How can we defend then?
If the enemy discovers a weakness and launches a full-scale attack, wouldn't we all be finished?
Mu Fusheng then found a quiet residence.
Prepare to carve the talisman.
The location chosen must be one that can provide timely coverage of the city walls in all four directions: east, west, south, and north.
All tasks are now progressing steadily.
On the other side.
Xiao Hei had already arrived at the foot of the three stone pillars.
Here, there is a huge grotto!
Outside the grotto.
Three stone pillars simultaneously suppressed the entrance to the grotto!
Xiao Hei could see it clearly.
Wisps of black demonic energy continuously seeped out from the grotto.
Despite being suppressed by the stone pillar.
The demonic energy couldn't be completely released, but some of it still seeped out.
Xiao Hei could sense a shared origin from the same source from just a brief contact.
This aura can make your blood boil!
This made Xiao Hei even more certain.
Beneath the grotto.
It was suppressing another fragment of its own soul!
But.
However, they are still unable to break the seal on the stone pillar.
Ye Qiubai walked over and asked, "Is what you're looking for down here?"
Xiao Hei nodded.
"Don't worry, once the other two cities are breached, the seal here will naturally dissipate."
