"Lord Yan, I've come to this city to resupply, and you have no say in whether I allow it or not!"
If you know what's good for you, you'll let us in obediently; otherwise, I'll just fight my way in myself.
Chen Mu flew to the top of the spaceship, facing Yan Beihai from afar. He released his powerful Dharma Power, and his aura was in no way inferior to Yan Beihai's.
"Who are you? What a boastful tone!"
Yan Beihai sensed that Chen Mu's condition was extremely strange.
Although Chen Mu's cultivation level was only at the Early Stage of the Core Formation Realm, his ability to draw upon the Spiritual Power of the surrounding world was no less than his own, and the Spiritual Power was extremely condensed. It was unknown which school of cultivation he was practicing.
"My name is Chen Mu. The Yin Lineage moved to this Wilderness to seek refuge with me. So, may we go in now?"
" Chen Mu?"
Yan Beihai searched his memory. He only had a rough understanding of the situation in the south, but the name Chen Mu was very common. He had never heard of any powerful leader named Chen Mu.
"Alright, then I'll test your skills!"
He muttered incantations, opened his palm, and a golden seal condensed in his hand.
" Earth Level martial skill, Heaven-Overturning Seal!"
He was cunning and suspicious. He pretended to be indifferent to Chen Mu, but when he made a move, he used his strongest attack technique.
The golden seal swelled in the wind, and with a flick of his hand, it pressed down on Chen Mu's head.
boom!!
Above Chen Mu's head, a strong, angry-looking giant swung his fist upwards, sending the Heaven-Overturning Seal flying backwards.
"Town!"
Yan Beihai's expression was solemn. He waved his hands in a magic seal and regained control of the flying Heaven-Overturning Seal. The Heaven-Overturning Seal flipped over and rushed towards Chen Mu again.
Thump! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the Heaven-Overturning Seal and the giant collided more than a dozen times. The giant was unharmed, but cracks gradually appeared on the Heaven-Overturning Seal.
"Okay! I admit you're very strong."
But it's no use, I won't let you into my Falling Rosy Clouds City, so give up!
After Yan Beihai finished speaking, he did not continue to fight Chen Mu. He turned around and flew back to Falling Rosy Clouds City in a few breaths.
Yan Beihai was much stronger than Wang Yu was back then. Chen Mu knew that killing him wouldn't be easy, so he turned around and flew back to the deck.
"Young Master Chen Mu, what do we do now?"
Yin Guang was secretly worried; he hadn't expected Chen Mu's method to be so radical.
Although Chen Mu defeated Yan Beihai, it did not greatly help the fleet's resupply in the city.
A prefecture-level city like Falling Rosy Clouds City typically has a population of over 100 million, with nearly a million being regular troops. If the city lord doesn't allow the Yin Lineage's fleet to enter, it's impossible for a few Core Formation Realm cultivators to persuade Yan Beihai to compromise.
Even the strongest Core Formation Realm cultivator has limited Spiritual Power. Theoretically speaking, a Early Stage of the Core Formation Realm cultivator is already quite capable of killing around a thousand regular soldiers in one go.
Otherwise, if their Spiritual Power is depleted and they are unable to fly away from the battlefield, they may be killed by lower-level cultivators.
After the Core Formation Realm cultivator's Spiritual Power is depleted, it takes a long time to recover if they don't take any pills. Therefore, it's impossible for just a few or even dozens of the Core Formation Realm to conquer a prefecture city.
In war, the main role of the Core Formation Realm cultivators is to intimidate and restrain the opposing experts; they are rarely used as the main force on the battlefield.
"It's alright! Patriarch Yin Lineage, just take a good look at the power of my modified weapon system."
Chen Mu revealed a mysterious smile, looked up and waved to Chen Ju in the control room above.
Chen Ju immediately understood; she, Chen Duo, and Zheng Fengdao had already made preparations.
"Sister Duo, Brother Zheng, let's go!"
After Chen Ju gave the order, three spaceships equipped with Intelligent Weapon System separated from the fleet and headed towards Falling Rosy Clouds City.
"Hmph! You dare to come here? Do you really think I'm made of clay?"
Falling Rosy Clouds City, Yan Beihai stared at the three spaceships that were constantly approaching in the sky, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
He didn't want to offend Chen Mu; in their brief exchange, he had felt immense pressure from Chen Mu.
Chen Mu is obviously still very young, and it's hard to say how far he will go in the future. If he offends him too much, he may face retaliation in the future.
On the other hand, if Chen Mu were to actually enter Falling Rosy Clouds City, not only would he offend Ma Hongxian, but the Yin Lineage's wealth would likely attract the covetous eyes of other forces. If other forces were to fight the Yin Lineage in Falling Rosy Clouds City, that would be a huge problem.
"Air defense forces, stop those three spaceships for me."
After much deliberation, he finally decided to intercept the three spaceships first.
It's hard to say whether there will be retaliation in the future, but if the Yin Lineage is allowed in now, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
"Yes!"
Upon receiving the order, the air defense commander immediately deployed his men to intercept the airships with all their might.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh...!
On the city wall, more than a hundred powerful crossbows fired simultaneously, sending huge crossbow bolts, two or three meters long, soaring into the sky and hurtling towards the three airships.
The air defense commander grinned maliciously. In his eyes, the Yin Lineage's ships were just transport vessels, and this salvo should be enough to destroy most of the defensive arrays on the ships.
Boom! Rat-a-tat-tat...!
A moment later, a dense patch of sparks lit up the surface of the three spaceships. Before the crossbow bolts could even touch the spaceships' protective shields, they had all been shot down.
The air defense commander was dumbfounded; he almost thought he was seeing things.
He had seen many ways to deal with crossbow bolts, but he had never seen a situation where all the bolts were shot down before they even reached the enemy.
"Use the Cloud-Blasting Cannon! Activate all Cloud-Blasting Cannon and attack!"
He had a bad feeling and, disregarding the loss of Spirit Stone, ordered his men to activate all ten of the only Cloud-Blasting Cannon on the city wall.
The Cloud-Blasting Cannon is one of the most renowned anti-aircraft weapons of the imperial court. It is fast, has a high rate of fire, and is powerful. Its biggest drawback is that it consumes a lot of Spirit Stone, so the air defense forces are reluctant to use it unless absolutely necessary.
If Falling Rosy Clouds City weren't a major commercial center with abundant funds, it wouldn't be able to equip itself with ten Cloud-Blasting Cannon.
Pfft! Bang bang bang...!
"Huh?"
As soon as the Cloud-Blasting Cannon of Falling Rosy Clouds City was fired, Chen Mu, who was sitting on the deck, sensed something was amiss.
"Its power is considerable!"
He sighed inwardly. Although his intelligent weapon system had many advantages over the traditional rune weapon system, Falling Rosy Clouds City was, after all, a large city with a long history. It was unlikely that he could crush them with just three spaceships that he had made simple modifications.
Boom boom boom...!
Most of the ten Cloud-Blasting Shell were intercepted by the Intelligent Weapon System during their flight, but two of them still struck the spaceship where Chen Mu was, causing it to shake violently.
"Target locked! Cloud-Blasting Cannon, fire!"
Chen Ju could have opened fire much earlier, but they wanted to test the firepower of Falling Rosy Clouds City first, so they allowed the Falling Rosy Clouds City air defense forces to fire first.
Having completed her probing, she no longer hesitated and launched a fierce counterattack.
