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

Chapter 47 Monster Siege 2
"You're welcome." After saying that, Lin Yan delivered medicine to the other cultivators who were maintaining the barrier in the same way.

She wasn't familiar with the barrier around Lishan City, so she didn't join in maintaining it, fearing her power might clash with it. She'd leave that to the professionals; her job was simply to deliver medicine and not interfere with the guards.

——Crack!
A crack appeared in the barrier! Demonic beasts surged in. She quickly summoned the Frostwind Sword to shield the cultivator closest to the breach who was maintaining the barrier from the attack. "You just focus on repairing it, I'll hold off these monstrous creatures!"

The cultivator's expression was solemn as he rapidly formed hand seals. Golden array light appeared before him, flying towards the barrier and gradually piecing together the shattered gaps.

—Hooray!
A fourth-tier saber-toothed tiger suddenly leaped out, roaring as it fiercely pounced on the cultivator who was repairing the barrier. Lin Yan immediately threw out a third-grade binding talisman, binding the tiger, which had jumped halfway, to the ground.

The control spell was only effective for a short time. Before the saber-toothed tiger could break free of the spell, she thrust her sword down hard at its head. The tiger quickly blocked with its claws, the claws colliding and rubbing against the sword, making a piercing sound.

A fifth-tier magic sword isn't as useful as a heavenly-grade spirit sword. It got stuck here by the claws. If it were a spirit sword, it would have already cut it off and pierced through the claws.

A second before the binding talisman expired, Lin Yan kicked the tiger beast away with great force, switched the sword in her hand, and with the sword blade wrapped in spiritual power, flung it directly at the tiger beast.

--boom!

The spirit sword pierced straight through the tiger-beast's belly. She used her spiritual power to control the sword and slashed upwards, cleaving it in two. With a thought, a storage bottle appeared in her hand, which she used to collect the tiger-beast's corpse.

The Guanhai Sword flew back into her hand automatically, and the two swords switched places in an instant. A completely black bird tried to ambush her, but Lin Yan reacted extremely quickly, raising her hand to instantly condense a fireball and blast it away, causing the black bird to stagger.

"Yay!" The bird and beast let out an angry scream, flapping its wings to unleash incredibly sharp wind blades that whistled through the air.

She quickly rose to her feet to dodge, several talismans appearing in her other hand. Her Cold Wind Sword unleashed a gust of cold wind, striking towards the black bird's wing. As it dodged, its movement was anticipated, and it was struck by a third-grade weight-bearing talisman, increasing its weight. Unable to bear the weight, the black bird fell to the ground.

The birds and beasts that landed were like free-range chickens, their attack power far less formidable than when flying. As it tried to take flight, a fireball came hurtling towards it, striking its head. "Caw caw!" the black bird cried out twice, then its neck was slashed by a sword.

—Pfft!
Blood spurted out, staining Lin Yan's robes. The Cold Wind Sword in her hand remained stuck against the black bird's neck.

Good news, the big black bird has been killed; bad news, the sword is stuck in the bird's neck.

The cultivator who had repaired the gap in the barrier turned around and saw this scene. He felt a chill run down his spine and awkwardly turned back.

She forcibly drew the Cold Wind Sword, snapping the bird's neck with a "crack," a gruesome sight. With a wave of her hand, her robes were spotless, the discomfort of the bloodstains vanishing without a trace.

The corpses of birds and beasts were stored in a storage bottle, and Lin Yan drew her sword to help the others kill the monsters that squeezed in through the gap.

—Click, click!

The sound of cracking could be clearly heard, and the guarding cultivator cried out, "Oh no! The barrier can't hold!"

The newly repaired breach couldn't withstand the growing damage to the barrier, which crumbled under the relentless attacks of the demonic beasts.

boom!
The barrier couldn't withstand the force and shattered. The aftershocks knocked down the front-line monsters, giving the guards time to retreat.

A deafening roar from the Xuan-level evil dragon, carrying terrifying power, instantly destroyed the city wall. The cultivators below turned pale, their expressions grave. The breach of the barrier meant the last line of defense for Lishan City had been destroyed. With a large influx of demonic beasts and an evil dragon comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator wreaking havoc, Lishan City was destined for annihilation.

At this critical moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in the sky, and Lishan City re-erected a semi-circular barrier from top to bottom, keeping most of the ferocious monsters outside the city.

The barrier exuded the majesty of the Nascent Soul Realm, suppressing all demonic beasts below the fifth rank, rendering them trembling and unable to continue their attack, thus giving the cultivators in the city a chance to catch their breath.

A female cultivator suddenly appeared in the air, hovering there, exuding an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura.

The female cultivator wore a pale gold robe embroidered with array patterns in dark red silk thread, exuding a hidden power. Her face was aloof, her eyes frosty and icy, giving her an aura that kept strangers at bay; even the falling rain seemed to grow colder because of her.

"You beast, how dare you invade!" A majestic voice spread from mid-air. With a wave of his elegant robe, a giant mechanical bird appeared out of nowhere and attacked the evil dragon.

"It's...it's Venerable Duan Yi! We...we're saved!" The cultivators in the city were overjoyed and hopeful. They took pills and quickly dealt with the demonic beasts that had entered the city.

Lin Yan was also stunned by this earth-shattering power. This earth-shattering force, this ability to reverse the course of events, instantly turned the situation from one of utter despair to one of ultimate defeat. She longed to be such a powerful cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist Qing, it's been a century since we last met, and you're still as decisive as ever!" Another man in white appeared in mid-air, also hovering, his robes fluttering. Despite the torrential rain failing to reach him, he still held an umbrella to shield himself. The umbrella was painted with landscape ink paintings, perfectly complementing his demeanor.

In his other hand, he held a jade flute, its body warm and translucent, gleaming with a soft luster, as if it contained the power of heaven and earth.

The cultivators in the city exclaimed again, "It's Venerable Mo Jue! That's wonderful, wonderful..." Their voices were filled with the joy of survival, and they fought even harder to kill the monsters in the city!

Outside the barrier, with Nascent Soul cultivators fighting the evil dragon, Lishan City was not in danger of destruction. Although the lower-level cultivators in the city were unable to fight against fourth- or fifth-tier demonic beasts, they did not continue to hide but instead came out to help care for the wounded.

The guild provided the wounded with medicinal pills free of charge. Faced with such a disaster, the city's cultivators unexpectedly united.

Lin Yan was deeply shocked by the earth-shattering power it possessed and seemed to have gained some insight. In a fierce battle with the demonic beast, she broke through her shackles and advanced to the second stage of the Golden Core realm.

Soon, all the demonic beasts in the city were slain. She collected the corpses of the demonic beasts she had killed into a bottle, while she gave away the corpses of the demonic beasts she had killed in cooperation with other cultivators, without participating in the distribution.

Five Nascent Soul cultivators gathered outside the city to fight against the evil dragon and high-level demonic beasts. Demonic beasts below the fifth rank were being resisted by Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators working together. After clearing out the demonic beasts within the city, the cultivators inside immediately left to join the battle.

Having just finished the battle, Lin Yan quickly replenished her spiritual energy with spirit stones. Knowing she still had to fight outside the city, she didn't waste her spiritual energy cleaning the beast blood that had stained her robes again.

She took a step, about to follow the other cultivators out of the city, when suddenly her wrist was grabbed.

"You... how did you get off the airship? You're injured, let me heal you!" Upon seeing the familiar figure, Mo Yu disregarded his own disheveled state and quickly stepped forward to grab the person.
