The next day.
Outside Zhenlian City.
Kilian Mountain.
This is a mountain range spanning hundreds of miles, with many mountains and undulating mountains.
Legend has it that five hundred years ago, a male monk planted 10,000 lotus flowers on the mountain just to beg his beloved woman to agree to marry him.
This mountain is therefore named "Qilian Mountain".
Qilian Mountain is several times wider than Yunling Mountain, and there are tens of thousands of monsters in the mountain. Normally, these low-level monsters do not pose much of a threat, and many of them have become pets of monks.
But after the beast tide broke out, three sixth-level beast kings appeared on Qilian Mountain. Those low-level monsters all turned violent and became an army to attack Zhenlian City.
Fortunately, Zhenlian City is protected by a sixth-grade formation, and there are several Jindan realm monks in the city, so there is no danger for the time being.
It's just that the three sixth-grade monsters were very cunning and no longer attacked forcefully. They just ordered the monster army to surround the entire Zhenlian City, as if they wanted to slowly consume it.
In this way, people in the city could not get out, and monsters outside the city could not get in. The situation was in a stalemate.
At this moment, the city lord Xu Jiangxing stood at the top of the city, looking at the gloomy atmosphere on Kilian Mountain not far away, his face full of worry.
"Fifteen days."
Zhenlian City has been besieged for fifteen days. Although the foundation-building monks do not need to eat every day, most of the elixir for healing injuries and the spiritual marrow for replenishing spiritual power have been consumed.
There are more monks below the foundation level in the city. They need food, and the remaining food in the city is less than half a year.
If this continues, the monsters will no longer need to forcefully attack the city. It will only take half a year for Zhenlian City to be destroyed.
Standing next to General Xu were more than ten people, all heads of large families in the city, as well as several Jindan realm monks.
They are the core people guarding Zhenlian City, but at this time, everyone's face is full of sadness.
Three sixth-grade monsters are equivalent to three Jindan realm monks. This is just their cultivation. If we talk about the real combat power of the monsters, they may reach the late stage or peak of Jindan.
At the same time, there are tens of thousands of low-level monsters that have been turned into violent rages, and the human monks are unable to resist the raging tide of monsters.
Xu Jiangxing was worried, but he had no other choice but to wait for Zhenyang Sect's rescue.
"Don't worry, City Lord. Elder Zheng should be on his way here. As soon as he arrives, it will be easy to kill those three sixth-grade beasts, and then the siege of Zhenlian City will be solved."
A handsome middle-aged man in white clothes said to Xu Jiangxing.
His appearance is somewhat similar to Zhou Ling'er. He is the head of the Zhou family, the largest family in Zhenlian City, Zhou Shineng.
The Zhou family has been in Zhenlian City for three hundred years and is very powerful. Zhou Shineng's status is almost as good as that of the city lord.
However, Zhou Shineng had no ambitions and got along quite well with Xu Jiangxing. The two worked closely together, which allowed Zhenlian City to be developed into the second largest city under Zhenyang Sect in just over ten years.
But with the tide of beasts, Zhenlian City no longer has its former prosperity, and Zhou Shineng is as heartbroken as Xu Jiangxing.
After hearing Zhou Shineng's words, several masters nearby also agreed:
"Yes, Elder Zheng has advanced cultivation. He will be safe as soon as he arrives at Zongmen Zhenlian City."
Xu Jiangxing nodded slightly, but he was still a little worried.
The situation in Zhenlian City was tight, and he had been sending letters to Zhenyang Sect to urge him, hoping to send an elder as soon as possible.
Among the six elders of the Zhenyang Sect, except for Ye Xiyue who was seriously injured in the battle of Tianlu Mountain and her cultivation level plummeted, the other five elders are all in the Nascent Soul realm.
Just one person is enough.
A few days ago, the sect finally replied and sent the leader of Wangyou Peak, Zheng Shengmo, to come in person.
Zheng Shengmo was in the late Nascent Soul stage, so it was easy to deal with three sixth-grade monsters. Xu Jiangxing breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the reply.
After waiting for several days, Zheng Shengmo never arrived. According to Yuanying monk's journey, even if he rushed from Beihuang, he would arrive in three days.
Today is already the fifth day, but Zheng Shengmo has yet to be seen.
Did something happen midway?
Or are the rumors about this Zhenyang Sect elder actually true?
Looking at the billowing clouds on Kilian Mountain outside the city, Xu Jiangxing sighed:
"Caihe, please don't come back."
Kilian Mountain, on a small mountain peak.
Xu Caihe squatted behind a huge stone and said to Wei Wan behind him:
"Senior Sister Wei, over there is Zhenlian City. You could see the city from here before, but now the entire Qilian Mountain is covered by clouds and you can't see it anymore."
At this time, in addition to Wei Wan, there were dozens of Zhenyang Sect disciples behind her, including Qin Gengyun, Qiu Zhihe and others.
Since entering Qilian Mountain, everyone has encountered several groups of monsters. Fortunately, Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling'er were familiar with the terrain and led everyone to avoid them in advance every time.
However, they could only reach the mountain peak at their feet, and further ahead was where a large number of monsters gathered. Wei Wan could even feel the aura of sixth-grade monsters.
With the strength of this group of people now, naturally they dare not go any further.
Zhou Ling'er was a little anxious: "Senior sister, what should we do now?"
Zhenlian City being besieged like this is not a long-term solution after all. No one can say when the monsters will attack the city in a large scale.
At this time, there was a tremor in Wei Wan's arms. She took out a messenger talisman with a slight smile on her face:
"Senior Sister and the others are here!"
After burning an incense stick, I was in a forest below this mountain peak.
Ye Xiyue and Chun Ningzhi led dozens of Zhenyang Sect disciples to arrive, and Wei Wan led everyone forward to salute:
"I've met Master Ye, I've met Senior Brother Chun."
Everyone’s faces were filled with joy and excitement. The group of Ye Xiyue and Chun Ningzhi were the strongest. One of them was the peak master and the other was the senior brother of Huashen Peak. Their leaders were all inner disciples. Among them, There are also several early-stage golden elixirs.
This kind of strength is enough to be used as an arrow to break through the blockade of Zhenlian City by monsters.
In the respectful and admiring eyes of all the disciples, Ye Xiyue looked cold and nodded slightly, while Chun Ningzhi said to Wei Wan with a smile:
"Junior Sister Wei, I heard that you killed a sixth-grade monster in Yunling Town and rescued thousands of townspeople. What a great merit!"
Wei Wan cupped his hands and said, "Ashamed. Senior Brother Chun and Senior Sister saved two big towns in a row. You are the role models for all the disciples."
Chun Ningzhi waved his hands repeatedly: "It's all thanks to Junior Sister Ye. If she hadn't killed two sixth-grade monsters in a row, we wouldn't have been able to rush to Zhenlian City so quickly."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Caihe and others looked at Ye Xiyue in surprise, their eyes full of admiration.
"As expected of Senior Sister, even though she has not recovered from her serious injuries and her cultivation has not recovered, she is still so brave!"
"Senior Sister is so strong!"
Looking at Ye Xiyue's cold and frosty appearance, like a fairy from the Nine Heavens, the faces of the male disciples were full of admiration.
"Senior Sister is the real fairy in my mind!"
In the eyes of countless adoring eyes, Ye Xiyue said calmly: "It's getting late, let's all repair for the night. Tomorrow, we will go into the city!"
Her voice was cold, but it carried unparalleled power. Everyone shouted in unison:
"Follow Senior Sister, kill the monsters, and enter Zhenlian City!"
At the same time, Qin Gengyun's ears heard a charming and mean voice:
"Master, I miss you so much. You have to wait for me to take care of you tonight!"
