In Qingyun Marketplace, Lin Xianzhi and Lin Shiming walked along the streets, beholding the towering city walls dotted with fully ard cultivators.
A sense of solemnity rose within them spontaneously!
In just a few short days, what had been a small marketplace had now transford into a fortress-like city of war.
The city walls, previously rely ten ters high, had grown to a hundred ters, reinforced with protective runes.
Atop the city walls stood the sword from beyond the heavens; Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi couldn't help but look over, and in the next mont, they felt overwheld by the dazzling sword light.
"This is the sword of True Person of the Heavenly Sword!" The two of them were greatly shocked, but at the sa ti, they recognized the resoluteness of True Person of the Heavenly Sword.
It was precisely because of this, faced with the intensifying power of the incoming Demonic Beast Tide, that all the cultivators were fearless!
That was a genuine Fifth Rank Magical Treasure!
Commanding atop the walls was Xie An. As the head of the Heavenly Sword Peak of the Qingxuan Sect, both Zi Xuan Hermit and Xie An among others would naturally suppress the beast tide.
The two imdiately proceeded to answer the call to duty, and along the way, Lin Shiming also saw many familiar faces, including mbers of the Tian Qian Family, Cheng Family from the north, Bamboo Ye Family...
However, unlike before when he had been seen as a junior, this ti not only was he a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, but he was also the Lin Family Head and one of the leaders of the team.
Those cultivators were also very dynamic; although surprised, they did not look down on him in the least, but instead were full of flattering gestures. Find more chapters on mvl
With the beast tide approaching, everyone in Yunzhou felt endangered. During such tis, having an extra friend naturally ant an extra layer of security.
Especially the Qian Family. This ti not only had Qian Bosheng co, but also the old ancestor of the Qian Family, Qian Yongfu.
Despite both families being extrely wary of each other internally, they appeared harmonious on the surface, even engaging in discussions about matrimonial alliances.
With the Li Family stepping out, the power structure of Yunzhou would inevitably be rewritten, but all hinged on surviving the beast tide.
"All Foundation Establishnt families, quickly assemble in the council hall!"
Suddenly, a voice transmission echoed through the sky, and a group of Foundation Establishnt cultivators imdiately headed towards the council hall.
This council hall was, in fact, the forr auction house of Qingyun Marketplace. Now, it served as an ideal eting place.
The hall was spacious, but there weren't many Foundation Establishnt cultivators present—nearly a hundred. One must understand that this was nearly the entirety of Yunzhou's Foundation Establishnt cultivators, including those who road the Qingyun Mountains, and so from Qingzhou and Xuzhou who specially ca to aid.
Xie An maintained order, and soon after, in ca Zi Xuan Hermit, clad in a purple robe.
"We pay our respects to Senior Zi Xuan!" Amidst the greetings of the multitude of Foundation Establishnt cultivators, Zi Xuan Hermit waved his hand for silence before speaking gravely:
"I am Zi Xuan of the Qingxuan Sect's Heavenly Sword Peak. First, I wish to thank everyone for braving the danger to defend our city!"
"This beast tide at Qingyun Mountain is a disaster unseen in hundreds of years, and I hope everyone will do their utmost to repel the Demonic Beasts. Our hos lie just behind us; we have nowhere to retreat!"
"Hereby, I announce that the Foundation Establishnt cultivators will be divided into four groups to defend the four gates of Qingyun City. Each gate will be assigned a Commandant and a Deputy Commandant..."
Zi Xuan kept making appointnts, and to no one's surprise, all four commandants were Direct Disciples of the Qingxuan Sect. As for the four deputy commandants, they were selected from major families, including Lin Xianzhi and Qian Yongfu who all obtained seats as deputy commandants.
However, there was not a trace of joy within the Lin Family. On their way here, Lin Xianzhi had learned from Xie An that this ti, there would likely be four Demon Kings appearing!
The Great Sects would only dispatch three Golden Core cultivators, for on the border frontier with Zhao Kingdom, the Mage Sect of Chu Country had already begun to stir.
The Three Sects dared not commit all their Golden Core cultivators to stop the beast tide. Having three here already amounted to shouldering a trendous pressure.
At the sa ti, the Demonic Race had even more Purple Mansion cultivators, but as of this mont, only about a dozen had confird they would defend the city!
Fortunately, the four gates were each fortified by a war treasure boat. In critical monts, these boats could bombard the Demonic Beasts—a force equivalent to Purple Mansion strength.

The four city gates were distributed without any complaints, after all, both the supre commanders and deputy commanders were at least at the late stage of Foundation Establishnt.
At the final mont, Qingxuan Sect also distributed Healing Pills, Third Rank Inferior Grade Spirit Talismans, and even Third Rank standard Flying Swords.
The Lin Family was assigned to the North City gate, which was directly facing the Qingyun Mountain range.
The beast tide didn't take long to arrive. On the second day of the Foundation Establishnt conference, a terrifying roar erupted from within the Qingyun Mountains!
Then, like a lit fuse, countless Demonic Beasts surged out like a tidal wave.
Second Rank and Third Rank Demonic Beasts which were rarely seen on normal days were erging one after another in the beast tide, practically ubiquitous.
Flying creatures, land beasts, and even those that could burrow through the earth, covering thousands of ters in a single move!
The roars of the beasts echoed between heaven and earth, deafening, accompanied by rolling clouds of dust.
Shiming also saw many familiar Demonic Beasts: the Red-haired Demon Monkey, Green Winged Mantis, Sabretooth Tiger, Thunder Leopard, Golden Luan Eagle, and more...
"Everyone get ready. Control the flying Demonic Birds with Flying Swords. Use Spirit Talismans and spell-type thods for large-scale coverage of the land beasts!" Xie An commanded as the supre commander, issuing orders as the commander of the North City gate in a battlefield without Purple Mansion cultivators.
Shiming also addressed those behind him including Lin Houyong and others:
"Everyone, be careful not to be overly aggressive!"
He was indeed very worried about the Qi Cultivators behind him.
Of course, there was no ti for him to worry too much at this mont, as so flying Demonic Beasts had already approached, with wind blades and Thunder Techniques bombarding the Formation of Qingyun City.
And from the whole North City, over a hundred Third Rank Flying Swords flew out!
Each Foundation Establishnt Cultivator controlled two to three Third Rank Flying Swords.
Shiming was also deploying the mother and child swords. All Flying Swords covered the skies, descending upon the Demonic Birds.
At this mont, no one spared a second thought for the Second Rank Demonic Beasts, only focusing on killing more, in the most convenient way, with the least expenditure of True Yuan.
Otherwise, the flying creatures were the ones that could threaten the Formation the most.
After a wave of Flying Swords, countless Demonic Beasts' corpses were reduced to chunks of flesh and blood, plumting down, but at the sa ti, a large number of Demonic Beasts crashed onto the Spirit Shield of Qingyun City.
The Fourth Rank Supre Grade Formation remained undamaged, but imdiately after, a horrifying number of Demonic Birds surged once again, and not much later, the land beasts also reached the city walls, beginning a frenzied assault.
"Let's charge out and collect so of the Demonic Beast corpses as well!"
The pile of Demonic Beast corpses in front of the city walls grew taller, with so beasts being rather large-bodied. To prevent the piled-up corpses from turning into a mountain and losing the advantage of the city walls, Xie An issued another command.
Upon this command, many Cultivators also surged outward. The slain Demonic Birds and beasts harbored a lot of valuable materials, which could fetch a good amount of Spirit Stones when sold.
Normally, they had neither the opportunity nor the courage to indulge in such a slaughter within the Qingyun Mountains.
There were even quite a few fierce Cultivators who had already charged into the beast tide, aiming to ambush specific required Demonic Beasts.
In the next mont, Shiming's eyes glead fiercely, as he saw a Golden-haired Mighty Ape, a Third Rank Demonic Beast, charging frantically towards him from a hundred ters away.
Just as he anticipated the surge in strength that the Golden Winged Mantis experienced upon advancing to the Third Rank, Shiming likewise hoped the Red-haired Demon Monkey would also break through to the Third Rank.
And at this mont, there certainly was a great opportunity!
With plenty of Demonic Beasts and nurous monkeys, obtaining a Third Rank inner core from a monkey-type Demonic Beast would give the Red-haired Demon Monkey a complete chance to advance to the Third Rank!
