Chapter 902 The trapped beast in the cage

Yunzhou, Jingxiao City.

Different from the twelve newly built cities in Jiumingzhou, the nine cities in Yunzhou were directly built from some ancient cities.

Jingxiao City was originally named Jingbo City because it is adjacent to the Yunzhou Inland Sea and stands on a hundred-foot cliff. When the wind blows, the waves are turbulent and it gets its name.

Later it was renamed Jingxiao City, and the size of the city changed from a thousand feet long and wide to a huge city of ten thousand feet.

The number of people living in the city also increased from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

The Nascent Soul cultivator who guards this city comes from the Fuyou Palace. His Taoist name is Xiyun, and his cultivation level is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul.

Similar to the sect's order that Lingchu received, she was also asked by the head of the Fuyou Palace to guard Jingxiao City and not leave. The Nascent Soul cultivator from a middle-class family in Yunzhou who was guarding the city with her was sent to Bixiao City for support.

This departure also took away half of the cultivators in Jingxiao City.

After the reinforcements left, True Lord Xiyun, who stayed behind in Jingxiao City, fully activated the city defense formation. He sat alone on a high building every day, with his back to the deep sea and facing the outside of the city, not daring to relax at all.

Suddenly one day, the waves roared at the edge of the cliff, a dark cloud appeared in the clear sky, and faint thunder sounded among the clouds.

Looking up, I saw that the so-called thunder in the dark clouds was actually blood-red rays of light.

The demonic energy that rose into the sky came from far away and approached Jingxiao City in a moment.

Without saying a word, and without even giving the cultivators of Jingxiao City a chance to see the enemy clearly, overwhelming numbers of flying monsters were already charging towards the city defense formation of Jingxiao City.

The deep blue city defense formation was created with ripples under the impact of countless magical beasts. The overwhelming magical beasts blocked out the sky and the sun, covering the sky above Jingxiao City tightly. Not even the warm sunlight could penetrate at all.

People in Jingxiao City suddenly discovered that day and night in the city were reversed in an instant.

Zhenjun Xiyun, who was sitting cross-legged on a high building, suddenly stood up, and directed his spiritual awareness to the extreme. Wherever he looked, he saw dense armies of demons.

Looking around, even under the cliff and above the deep sea, there were armies of demons surrounding them. There was no place to escape, neither in heaven nor on earth.

  Jingxiao City has been surrounded by the demon army!

What frightened Master Xiyun the most was the five Nascent Soul auras in the demon army.

Five Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators!

  And at this moment in Jingxiao City, she is the only Nascent Soul cultivator!

Thinking about the cultivator who had just been transferred away, Master Xiyun's expression was as gloomy as water. This might be a strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west!

Without hesitation, Master Xiyun took out a palm-sized snow-white conch, injected spiritual power into it, and said anxiously into the conch mouth, "Bixiao City was attacked! Five Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators and tens of thousands of demon soldiers!"

After he finished speaking, the snow-white patterns on the conch's body slowly began to glow, but before the light could fully illuminate, it suddenly dimmed.

Zhenjun Xiyun's expression changed again. The sound-transmitting conch is a special magic weapon refined by the Floating Palace. If the light is on, it means that the sound transmission is successful, and what she said will be transmitted to the other conch. But if the light does not light up, it means that the sound transmission has been interrupted.

In order to cut off the communication magic weapon, the demons either have special magic weapons, or they have set up a large formation to block the void near Jingxiao City.

  If it is the latter... then the teleportation array will not be usable!

Zhenjun Xiyun's eyes darkened, and after a while, he sent news that made people feel depressed to the monks who were in charge of guarding the teleportation array in the city.

  The teleportation array was also intercepted!

Generally speaking, a teleportation array is difficult to intercept. Firstly, a large array that blocks the void is hard to find. Secondly, if one wants to intercept a teleportation array, the level of the large array must be higher than that of the teleportation array.

The teleportation array is already a high-level existence among the array formations.

The teleportation array in Jingxiao City is connected to the large arrays of several other cities in Yunzhou. The distance between cities is not too far, which is considered medium among teleportation arrays.

Further up are interstate teleportation arrays, intercontinental arrays, and even inter-border arrays. The levels of these teleportation arrays are much higher than those of city teleportation arrays. Inter-city arrays can still be intercepted, but these inter-continental and inter-border arrays are very difficult to block.

Otherwise, the East Land Immortal Sect would have directly blocked the void, preventing the West Land demons from teleporting in.

But blocking the void of the entire continent and blocking the void of a city are completely different levels of difficulty. Even if the immortal sects of East Land join forces, it would be difficult to do so.

As for Jingxiao City, which is blocked in the void at this moment, it is like a lone boat in the ocean, helpless and in danger.

The humans in the city and the monks guarding the city walls were also in a panic.

They didn't know yet that Jingxiao City had become an isolated island, but just looking at the endless demon army that covered the sky and the earth, they felt a chill in their hearts.

The last demon army was not even half as large as this one, but they had already suffered heavy casualties.

The current demon army is far larger than the last one, and half of the monks in the city have been transferred away. No matter how you look at it, they are in great danger and their chances of winning are slim.

As early as when they arrived at the front line to garrison, the monks had already prepared for sacrifice and they were not afraid of death.

But they were afraid, afraid that their sacrifice would be meaningless, and even more afraid of fighting a war without the slightest hope of winning.

Because it was like they were just going to die and there was no meaning at all.

For a while, the fighting spirit in Jingxiao City fell to the bottom.

There were even some cultivators with weak resolve who had retreated repeatedly, wanting the cultivators in the city to activate a teleportation array, abandon Jingxiao City, and leave quickly before the city defense array was broken!

Even the mortals were packing their belongings in large and small bags, wanting to run to where the immortals lived.

In their opinion, in this devastating scene, the only way to survive is to run to the immortals.

It only took a moment from the demon army's attack on the city to the chaos in Jingxiao City.

Beside Master Xiyun who was standing on the tall building, several Jindan cultivators appeared. They were all the remaining high-level cultivators in the city.

True Lord Xiyun looked at them one by one. Apart from her, there were only eight Jindan cultivators left in Jingxiao City. Among them, three Jindan cultivators were only staying in Jingxiao City temporarily, but now they had to share the same fate with Jingxiao City.

"Everyone, the demons are at the gates of the city, and the situation is critical. I will not hide the truth from you. The demons have blocked the void in Jingxiao City. The communication magic weapons and teleportation magic arrays are no longer effective."

"For now, we can only hold on to Jingxiao City until the other cities notice something is wrong and come to support us."

True Lord Xiyun spoke bitterly, and the faces of the Jindan cultivators changed drastically.

The teleportation array is only in the hands of the Nascent Soul cultivators guarding the city. They came to find True Lord Xiyun, originally wanting to discuss things with him. But now there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and they don't know how long the city defense array can hold. They all want to send some of the younger generation's fire seeds away through the teleportation array first.

In this way, they can fight the demon army without any scruples.

Unexpectedly, the teleportation array could not be used, and even the communication magic weapon could not contact the outside world.

Now that Bixiao City has been besieged by the demons, most of Yunzhou's attention has been drawn to it.

Jingxiao City, which is unable to send messages or transmit data and is located in a remote area, is like a beast trapped in a cage at this moment!
