A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

"Damn it, how could such a large swarm of serpents attack the city? This shouldn't be happening!"

Inside the city lord's mansion, doubt and anxiety flickered in the eyes of the city lord, Baili Wei.

Such a large-scale siege was unprecedented for Baichi City.

What's most terrifying is that such a terrifyingly large swarm of swarms gathered without anyone noticing anything unusual beforehand.

Is there something that attracts these swarms? Or is there another reason?

Bai Liwei was extremely puzzled.

Although the worm is a very unique creature, there are still patterns to follow when it comes to sieges.

The size of the swarm in small cities is usually not too outrageous.
However, the current swarm of swarms far exceeds the usual number, leading Bailiwei to suspect that something within Baichi City is attracting them.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why there would be such a large-scale gathering of venomous swarms.

However, now is clearly not the time to consider these things. After requesting help, Bailiwei rushed to the nearest city wall.

As the city lord and one of the most powerful cultivators in the city, he naturally had an inescapable responsibility to fight on the front lines.

Following closely behind were the powerful figures from the city's three major families who also stepped onto the city walls to face the horde.

The appearance of Bailiwei and the powerful figures from the three major families boosted morale considerably.

Before long, the vanguard of the swarm had approached the four city walls and launched an attack.

The cultivators within the city also launched a counterattack.

Thanks to the protective advantage of the city's magic array, they didn't suffer too much loss for the time being.

However, everyone knew in their hearts that this was only temporary, and once the power of the magic array was exhausted, the city would basically fall.

Lin Yang, sensing the dense, seemingly endless swarm of swarms outside the city, also felt a chill run down his spine.

"If I had known, I should have refrained from selling the remaining magic arrays. Keeping one more might have increased the chances of survival in this situation."

Lin Yang sighed inwardly.

Of course, he was just expressing his feelings.

After all, no one can see ahead or behind, and no one could have known that the attack from the swarm would come so suddenly.

"With my current strength, combined with the Venerable-level Dao Weapon and the Flower in the Realm, I have no problem dealing with ordinary early-stage Dao Fire Realm cultivators."

Lin Yang thought:

"If we use the power of the 'Boundary' to amplify it further, we might even be able to fight against a mid-stage Dao Fire Realm cultivator. In particular, the 'Boundary' has a certain suppressive effect on the Nen. However, it is not advisable to be too exaggerated right now. We should just attack ordinary Nen like other Dao Realm cultivators."

He has now reached the eighth level of cultivation above the Dao.

With his full strength, dealing with the mid-stage Dao Fire Realm cultivator, Nian, would be no problem at all. However, there were people all around, and Lin Yang didn't want to stand out.

The main issue is that the swarm is too large. Whether they can survive this time will likely depend on whether reinforcements arrive in time.

An individual's strength is very limited.

Lin Yang maintained his attack level at the eighth level of the Dao Realm, and together with the others around him, he attacked the enemy horde, managing to hold on for a while.

However, the serpents outside the city seemed inexhaustible; no matter how many were killed, their numbers did not seem to decrease at all.

Furthermore, the serpent seemed to have no idea what fear or terror was; it simply kept bombarding them relentlessly.

Brave and not afraid of death!

The power of the city's protective formation was rapidly depleted.

after a while.

The protective array's power was exhausted to its limit, and the protective shield began to disappear at a visible speed.

The swarm's attacks became even more ferocious.

Finally, the protective shield disappeared completely.

Everyone, confront the hordes of people!
"Ah...ah..."

In an instant, the cultivators on the outermost edge of the city wall were killed one after another by the swarm of demons.

Screams came and went.

Large numbers of swarms of swarms squeezed into the city through any available gaps.

Soon, most of the ordinary cultivators on the city wall were killed or wounded, and a new batch of cultivators took their place.

But in the end, some people couldn't overcome their fear and began to back down.

The moment one person began to retreat, it had the potential to trigger a chain reaction, causing fear to grip the crowd and prompting them to retreat as well. Seeing this, Bailiwei's voice once again resounded throughout the city.

"Retreat! Everyone, retreat towards the City Lord's Mansion!"

He wanted to gather the cultivators, abandon most of the city area, and establish a new defensive line.

There is also a smaller magic array inside the city lord's mansion that can be used.

Lin Yang followed the others in their retreat and was also somewhat tired.

The pressure from the vegetative state is too great.

People are dying around me every moment.

However, the number of vesicles does not seem to have decreased much.

It's hard not to feel a sense of despair.

Soon, the city lord's mansion came into view.

They could also see City Lord Baili Wei and the powerful members of the three major families slaughtering the swarms of serpents, covering everyone's retreat.

Among the swarm of serpents, there were indeed powerful ones, but for some reason, those powerful serpents did not make a move directly. It seemed that they wanted to use ordinary serpents to wear down Baili Wei and the others first.

"Do the 'nei' (聠) also possess wisdom and understand human wave tactics?"

Lin Yang was somewhat surprised to witness this scene.

Before long, they retreated safely to the vicinity of the city lord's mansion.

Some magic array masters have already temporarily set up some magic arrays here.

Although they couldn't withstand the onslaught of the swarm for long, it did give everyone a chance to catch their breath.

With a whoosh, the power of a magic array also rose up within the city lord's mansion, enveloping everyone.

City Lord Bailiwei manipulated the magic array in the City Lord's Mansion to protect as many people as possible.

It must be said that he was a competent city lord.

A newly built defensive line surrounds the city lord's mansion area, protecting everyone.

However, the situation remains far from optimistic.

The swarm didn't consider their own consumption at all, but the people in the city would need a long time to recover after their internal energy was depleted.

This is a huge disadvantage.

Ultimately, under the leadership of the three major families and City Lord Bailiwei, the three major families themselves, the City Lord's Mansion, and some shops each contributed some pills and other items to restore Dao power and gave them to everyone free of charge.

The situation then improved slightly.

But it only got a little better.

The reserves of elixirs could not keep up with the rate at which people were consuming them.

Eventually, some alchemists entered the city lord's mansion and began refining pills on the spot.

The materials were provided by the city lord's mansion.

Are there any more advanced array masters?

The city lord's mansion began mobilizing magic array masters again.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yang accepted the summons and entered the city lord's mansion to set up a magic array.

Compared to his personal combat strength, setting up more magic arrays would be more effective in the current situation.

Even if he's incredibly skilled in combat, he can only handle one or two Dao Fire Realm cultivators.

However, the magic array can delay many ordinary monsters at once.

Although we can't kill them, as long as we can stall for time until rescue arrives, that's fine.

Clearly, the city lord and others were aware of this, which is why they called on the magic array masters to set up more magic arrays.

Although fewer people will be involved in the direct combat, the results will be better.

Therefore, alchemists and magic array masters received the best protection.

Lin Yang was even given a private room to refine magic arrays.

With his life at stake, Lin Yang also began to refine with all his might.

Suddenly, his communication jade slip vibrated. (End of Chapter)
