Chapter 294 Lingshu Stone, the changing weather on the day

With some curiosity in their hearts, Chen An and Qin Tianxing stepped into the meeting hall in the Dayi City. Many Mahayana monks with profound cultivation gathered here, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Following the news brought by the Wood Clan cultivators, the entire hall seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze.

Although Mu Teng was in a dishevel, he kept talking incessantly, telling the monks present about the previous raid.

The Dark Cultivator did not attack the Sun City directly, but chose to attack the Wood Clan instead. This made many cultivators feel relieved but also a little uneasy.

"The monks from the underworld are very powerful, and the blood soul also participated in this attack!"

Mu Teng's voice was low and solemn: "We suffered heavy losses. If we had not retreated in time, I'm afraid we would have been wiped out."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar. The faces of the Mahayana monks all turned pale and they all demanded an immediate counterattack.

"Treat others in their own way!"

Someone shouted loudly, with the flame of revenge in his eyes: "The underworld has bullied us too much, we can't just sit there and wait for death, we should take the initiative to fight back!"

However, not everyone agrees with this approach.

Some cultivators believed that the most urgent task was to deal with the Xuanming spiritual energy and that no unnecessary complications should be created at this time.

"The most urgent task is to stabilize the Xuanming spiritual energy. We must not act rashly, so as not to fall into the trap of the underworld." A cultivator from the Jinwu clan said slowly.

Both sides held their own opinions and argued endlessly. The situation in the conference room was tense and a conflict was about to break out.

Chen An observed quietly from the side, secretly analyzing the differences between the two sides' positions.

He noticed that one side was led by the Wood Clan, who advocated counterattack.

Most of these monks are from groups that are directly threatened by the underworld. They are eager to solve the problem through force and wash away the shame.

The other side, represented by the Jinwu tribe, advocates forbearance.

They believe that the most important thing at the moment is to preserve strength and deal with more long-term threats. After all, it is not their people who died.

Just as the argument reached its climax, a majestic voice came from outside the door: "Enough!"

Everyone looked towards the door, only to see Jin Lieyang striding in with great momentum.

He swept his eyes across the entire room and shouted, "Have you forgotten who the enemy is? I just received accurate information that there has been another smuggling attempt from the underworld, with a large number of people sneaking into the world of immortal cultivation. Now many cultivators are missing."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar. This sudden news was like a bolt from the blue, causing the originally noisy hall to fall into dead silence in an instant.

The monks who were arguing at first all looked terrified, and the entire Sun City seemed to be shrouded in a haze.

Chen An and Qin Tianxing were also shocked. They didn't expect that the immortal cultivation world, which had just stabilized, would be in turmoil again.

Jin Lieyang suppressed his inner anxiety and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time for internal strife. We must act immediately to strengthen the defense of Sun City to prevent the underworld monks from attacking."

His words were so powerful that they gave people an inexplicable sense of trust.

Jin Lieyang then gave orders for all the cultivators to take action, each responsible for strengthening the city's formation.

Suddenly, the entire Sun City became busy. The monks acted separately according to their respective duties. As the orders were conveyed, the entire Sun City seemed to be injected with new vitality.

Jin Lieyang's order was like a breeze, blowing away the previous disputes.

He divided the Mahayana monks into several groups, each of which led a group of combined monks and was responsible for strengthening the defensive formations in different areas of the city.

Afterwards, a batch of formation-related resources were distributed, and the monks in the city took action.

Chen An and Qin Tianxing led dozens of combined cultivators and resources to the northeast corner of the city, which is an important part of the defense system of Yuri City.

After the two of them became familiar with the situation, they began to repair and strengthen the formation here.

The formation here consists of three main parts: spiritual power guidance, defense and neutralization, which is relatively simple and clear.

Each part has its unique function, and together they form a three-dimensional defensive array structure.

The spiritual power guiding part is mainly responsible for absorbing the spiritual energy of the Yuanshi of Heaven and Earth and converting it into the spiritual power required for defense. The defense part is used for the formation shield, so that it can withstand powerful attacks; and the neutralization part is to prevent the dark energy or evil energy from entering, thereby preventing the erosion of the interior.

In order to ensure the stability of the formation, they first checked the eye of the formation, which is the core part of the formation, and then reinforced each node.

The formation is composed of countless complex runes, which are distributed along the outline of the city to form a huge protective shield.

Chen An and Qin Tianxing had a clear division of labor. Qin Tianxing was responsible for directing the combined monks to repair the formation, while Chen An made adjustments to some key points based on his understanding of the formation.

Qin Tianxing looked around and nodded with satisfaction: "Fortunately, when I first came to Sun City, I got a lot of Fusion Souls, which allowed the human race to have a lot of Fusion cultivators, otherwise we wouldn't be short of manpower this time."

Chen An also nodded slightly to show his agreement. The soul and spirit merged into the ghost king's marrow fluid in the underworld, which was a spiritual object bred in the body of a sixth-level ghost king.

No matter whether one is a cultivator in the dark world or a cultivator in the immortal world, taking it will be of great benefit to breaking through the fusion.

Chen An was checking the situation of the formation. While he was busy, he observed his surroundings and suddenly noticed the figure of the Holy Emperor of the Sky.

At this time, the Holy Emperor was busy in a corner, but his face was still old, which surprised Chen An.

He vaguely remembered that the last time the Holy Emperor of the Sky had bought a thousand-year-old life-extending pill, which should have been able to restore some youth.

Chen An felt a little confused, but he didn't think too much about it. After all, the most important task at the moment was to complete the arrangement of the defensive formation.

At this moment, Qin Tianxing discovered a small node in the formation. This was a small formation node located between the two large formations. It was responsible for connecting and coordinating the flow of spiritual power between the two large formations, ensuring the integrity and coordination of the entire defense system.

"Huh? Why isn't anyone reinforcing this place?" Qin Tianxing asked in surprise.

Chen An frowned and said, "This seems to be the part that the demon tribe next door is in charge of."

The two of them looked at the formation structure around them, and combined it with the formation diagram, they found that it was indeed the part that the neighboring demon tribe was responsible for, so they did not take action immediately.

Just then, a Mahayana cultivator from the demon race walked over.

Chen An thought that he looked familiar. He seemed to be a cultivator from the demon clan named Chixu.

After a few pleasantries, the man explained the situation: "We are short of manpower. Can we give that small node to the human race for reinforcement?"

Qin Tianxing and Chen An thought it was no big deal, as they had enough staff, so they agreed.

After confirming the structure of the small node, Qin Tianxing took a careful look and found that the small node was somewhat similar to the structure that the Holy Emperor of the Sky was currently responsible for. Both were key points responsible for guiding the flow of spiritual power.

Therefore, Qin Tianxing asked the Holy Emperor of the Sky to be responsible for the small node: "After you finish your work, go and take charge of that small node."

The human race had enough manpower, so he didn't care too much about this little thing.

"Yes, Senior Qin!"

The Sky Saint Emperor bowed respectfully and accepted the task. After a busy period, Chen An quickly completed the reinforcement of the formation in the northeast corner of the city. Only a few finishing touches were left. Even if the Underworld Mahayana attacked at this moment, they were not afraid.

As for that small node, the Holy Emperor of the Sky not only accepted the task, but also worked hard to make the spiritual power guidance system of the entire small node more smooth and stable.

His skillful technique even made Chen An and Qin Tianxing nod in praise.

Just at this moment, Jin Lieyang's voice came from a distance, summoning all the Mahayana monks to the meeting hall. Apparently, there was another important matter to discuss.

Chen An and Qin Tianxing looked at each other, then gave a few instructions to the combined cultivators and left in a hurry.

Looking at the two people's receding backs, a barely perceptible light flashed in the eyes of the Holy Emperor of the Sky.

He lowered his head slightly, and gently stroked a spiritual material in his arms with his fingers. It was shining with white light and was roughly similar to the Lingshu Stone. It could adjust and balance the energy output of the entire formation and was a key spiritual material for reinforcing this small node.

This spiritual material looks ordinary, but a faint purple light can be seen flowing on its surface, which is slightly different from other spiritual stones.

After the Holy Emperor of the Sky processed the Lingshu Stone, he carefully placed it into the node. As the spiritual power flowed, the purple light disappeared without a trace.

After completing the replacement, the Holy Emperor of the Sky took a few steps back and examined his masterpiece with sharp eyes.

The spiritual light in the formation became even brighter and more dazzling, and there was no sign of anything abnormal.

Since I can't increase my lifespan, I'll just get it myself!

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and then after finishing the work here, his figure blended into the busy crowd.

On the other side, when Chen An and Qin Tianxing arrived at the meeting hall, Jin Lieyang had been waiting there for a long time.

Many Mahayana monks gathered in the hall. Everyone took their seats and the atmosphere was particularly depressing.

Jin Lieyang looked around and said, "My fellow Taoists, if the army of the underworld attacks, we must work together to resist the enemy."

Upon hearing this, all the monks looked solemn.

Jin Lieyang's eyes swept across every Mahayana cultivator present, and he slowly took out a wisp of Xuanming spiritual energy that was flickering with a faint light from his sleeve. With a slight thought, the spiritual energy fell into the hands of the cultivator closest to him.

"This is."

Mu Teng took over the Xuanming spiritual energy, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Jin Lieyang with some disbelief.

"Yes, it is the mysterious spiritual energy."

Jin Lieyang smiled slightly, "As long as you can hold on to the Sun City, there will be more Xuanming spiritual energy to be given to you in the future!"

Just as he finished speaking, dozens of Xuanming spiritual energy flew up in the hall and landed in the hands of every Mahayana cultivator. Everyone present got a ray of Xuanming spiritual energy!
Looking at the spiritual objects in their hands, everyone in the room was in an uproar, and expressed their willingness to defend Sun City with all their might.

Chen An stood in the crowd, looking at everything in front of him, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. This person was so generous, maybe there was a deeper meaning behind it.

Just as everyone was immersed in joy and prepared to disperse, suddenly, a ray of light flashed and a talisman flew into Jin Lieyang's hands.

He took the talisman into his hand and his expression instantly became solemn.

"The Mahayana monks from the underworld have approached Sun City. This time, they are coming with great force and are clearly well prepared."

Jin Lieyang's voice carried a hint of urgency.

"Prepare for battle immediately!" he ordered loudly.

Suddenly, the entire Sun City fell into a tense atmosphere.

Mu Teng of the Wood Tribe was the first to stand up and shouted angrily: "We want to avenge our fellow tribesmen!"

"revenge!"

The other monks also followed suit in the shouting, the sound was deafening, and everyone’s face was filled with excitement.

Chen An stood in the crowd, watching all this and sneered in his heart.

Those cultivators seemed to be filled with righteous indignation, but they were probably indignant more for the mysterious spiritual energy.

Chen An didn't say much, and immediately turned around and walked towards the northeast corner with Qin Tianxing.

That was the formation area that he and Qin Tianxing were responsible for, and they had to guard it well.

The two came to the northeast corner and saw that the originally calm formation had been activated at this moment, emitting a dazzling golden light.

This layer of light is like an extremely solid barrier, covering the entire Sun City.

"Is this the last line of defense of Daytime City?" Qin Tianxing looked at the layers of golden light, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Chen An nodded: "Yes, this is our last resort. Once the monks from the underworld break through this layer of defense, then..."

The words were not finished, but both of them knew what it meant.

"It seems that we have to prepare for the worst." Qin Tianxing said in a deep voice.

A few days passed quickly and everything in the Sun City was back to normal. Chen An and the others did not see any trace of the monks from the underworld.

"Could it be that Jin Lieyang's information is wrong?"

Just as the two were puzzled, the figures of two Mahayana monks from the underworld quietly appeared in the distance outside the city.

One of them had delicate features, a handsome face, long jet-black hair fluttering in the wind, and was dressed in a green gown. There was a sense of weirdness in his demeanor.

Yun Gan looked at the black-robed monk beside him. The latter was completely covered in a black robe, revealing only a pair of deep eyes with a cold look.

"Later, I will go up to attract the other party, and you will act according to the situation and break the formation." Yun Gan curled his lips into a sneer, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

The black-robed monk was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Can you fight one against two?"

Yun Gan answered confidently: "Don't worry, I have my own way to hold him back. If I'm lucky, I can even kill one of them."

After saying that, his hand flashed and he held an ancient jade flute. The flute was engraved with complicated runes and emitted a faint glow, as if it could devour all light.

The black-robed monk was filled with surprise. The flute was as black as ink, with neatly arranged holes. A faint green light was flowing, releasing a chilling chill.

Although it has not yet reached the level of the legendary Xuantian treasure, it is still one of the top works among Xuanbao. No wonder it is so confident.

Yun Gan said nothing, holding the Shadow Flute, and played a strange melody. After a dozen or so notes, the formation in the northeast corner actually dimmed a bit.

Seeing this, Chen An and Qin Tianxing naturally would not sit idly by and immediately stepped forward to intercept them. If they let it go, it would definitely affect the operation of the formation, so they could not remain indifferent.
