After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Chapter 46: Monster Siege 1
The premonition was correct. Not long after, roars of demonic beasts echoed from Lishan. Then, a demonic beast resembling a Western dragon flew towards Lishan City, followed by a group of other demonic beasts.

Everyone says that a secret realm entrance has appeared in Lishan. She thinks it's a monster's lair! The fact that these monsters can fly all the way to Lishan City means that the cultivators stationed near Lishan are in grave danger.

Hearing the commotion, Mo Yu came downstairs and immediately went to her side, saying with a serious expression, "The demonic beasts have come out of the Lishan Secret Realm, and Lishan City is in danger of falling."

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow and asked, "And then?" Of course she knew it was dangerous. But with monsters attacking the city, leaving now wouldn't be a wise move.

Mo Yu frowned. "The cultivators from the major families in the city are preparing to defend the city together and await reinforcements. You..." He wanted the other person to stay on the flying boat, as the demonic beasts outside were not something a Qi Refining stage cultivator could withstand.

"Oh." Lin Yan didn't take his words to heart at all. "You don't need to worry about me. I have my own plans and I have the ability to protect myself."

Alarm bells rang throughout the city, and the barrier shifted, sealing off the city. One group of cultivators guarded the city from above the barrier, while another group maintained it to prevent demonic beasts from breaching it.

The cultivators with lower cultivation levels have already retreated to their homes, avoiding wandering out and causing trouble for the guards.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu felt a chill run down his spine. But this was not the time to play the victim. He remained silent, took a group of guards from the flying boat, and left without looking back.

The demonic beasts quickly surrounded Lishan City from Lishan. The leading evil dragon confronted the guards above the barrier and spewed two puffs of air from its nostrils.

Even with her Golden Core cultivation, Lin Yan couldn't discern the beast's rank. She was utterly horrified when she saw the evil dragon slap down the peak Golden Core guards in a few swift movements, devouring all five of them like candy.

The demon beast spoke in human language, treating the guarding cultivators as ants and as its food reserves.

A demon beast that can speak human language is at least a Xuan-level demon beast, comparable to a Nascent Soul peak stage cultivator. No wonder it could defeat five Golden Core cultivators in just a few moves without any ability to resist.

Those five Golden Core cultivators were the main force defending the city. Their loss forced the other guards to retreat and hold the barrier. As long as the demonic beasts couldn't break through the barrier, the rest of the city was still safe.

Lin Yan released her divine sense to observe, and found that apart from the Xuan-level demonic beast, the demonic beasts that had followed her to attack the city were all between the fourth and seventh ranks. They obeyed the Xuan-level demonic beast's commands, swarming forward and frantically attacking the barrier.

The evil dragon opened its ferocious maw, and bolts of violent lightning slammed into the barrier. The powerful force crashed against the barrier, bursting forth with dazzling light.

However, no one was in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. The cultivators in Lishan City were all solemn and tense, as if facing a formidable enemy. The guards were doing their utmost to strengthen the barrier's defenses and channel energy to prevent it from being breached.

She stood atop the flying boat, terrified at the sight of the evil dragon. That was a dragon capable of taking down a Golden Core cultivator in one bite! If she charged at it and attempted a sliding tackle, wouldn't she be swallowed whole?

I don't have the heart of a hero, and I won't rush in to my death.

With such a commotion caused in the Lishan Secret Realm, it's impossible that those reclusive patriarchs didn't sense it. If they hold on a little longer, the Nascent Soul patriarchs will arrive.

Unexpected circumstances arose.

Tao Zhizhi flew towards Lishan City on her sword with Gu Zhu, followed closely by a group of demonic beasts.

Tao Zhizhi looked disheveled, her light blue robe wrinkled and torn. While flying on her sword, she glanced back at the pursuing demonic beasts. "Third Senior Brother, we're almost at Lishan City! Lishan City has a protective barrier; we'll be fine!"

Demonic beasts were also attacking the barrier around Lishan City. A large number of demonic beasts, obeying the evil dragon's command, gathered in one place and attacked one spot. Tao Zhizhi flew to the side of the barrier where there were no demonic beasts attacking and shouted loudly, asking the cultivators guarding the barrier to open a gap so that she could enter.

Lin Yan, observing the battle, naturally noticed Tao Zhizhi's actions, and a huge question mark appeared above her head. If the female lead was able to escape from Lishan, why didn't she just fly back to Xuantian Sect on her sword?

Although Xuantian Sect is far from Lishan, it is far safer than Lishan City in the current situation. Their arrival was bad enough, but they also attracted a group of demonic beasts, making the situation in Lishan City even worse.

The guarding cultivators naturally cannot open a gap in the barrier. What if they open a gap at a critical moment and the evil dragon charges in? If the barrier shatters then, it will be a devastating blow to Lishan City.

"No way," the city-guarding cultivator refused outright.

"How can you do this? Are you going to just stand by and watch me die?" Seeing the demonic beasts getting closer and closer, Tao Zhizhi cried out anxiously, "I am a direct disciple of the Xuantian Sect! If I die here because of you, my master will definitely hold you accountable!"

Lin Yan's attention was on the female lead, and she frowned upon hearing these words. At such a critical moment, using one's status to pressure others instead of quickly leading their injured companions away was truly foolish.

Summoned by the evil dragon, the pursuing demonic beasts joined the attack on the barrier. The female protagonist hadn't been attacked yet; wouldn't it have been better to quickly fly away on her sword to a safe place? Why did she have to go into Lishan City?
Do you think Lishan City is very safe?

"My third senior brother is seriously injured. If you don't want to let us in, you can at least throw out some healing pills. I beg you." Tao Zhizhi pleaded with the cultivator in charge of guarding a corner of the barrier in a pitiful tone.

The barrier trembled violently, and the cultivator's face turned deathly pale. He shook his head helplessly, but still kindly advised, "Right now, the demonic beasts are mainly attacking Lishan City. You can take your third senior brother to another safe place to seek medicine. Fly south for a few dozen miles, and there's a small town."

"My senior brother is seriously injured, how can he possibly continue to travel dozens of miles? Your behavior is tantamount to abandoning him to his death! I'll remember this, and I will definitely settle this score with you one day!"

Tao Zhizhi helped her senior brother onto his flying sword and left. In their haste, her sachet accidentally fell off.

Some of the demonic beasts suddenly moved to the location where the female protagonist had just been and launched a fierce attack! The cultivator was already on the verge of collapse, and now the area around his barrier was under a violent attack. He coughed up blood and begged his companions for help.

——Click, click.

Listen to the sound of the barrier cracking!
Lin Yan flew over, channeled some spiritual energy into the cultivator, took out a pill bottle from her storage bag, poured out a pill, and said, "Open your mouth!"

Seeing that the person had transferred spiritual energy to him and taken out a pill, the cultivator chose to believe them and opened his mouth.

She used her spiritual power to wrap the pill and tossed it into his mouth.

After taking the healing pills, the cultivator's complexion improved slightly. He looked grateful and said, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist."

Hehe~ Please give me some recommendation votes~ *crying*
