The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 718 The troops are approaching the city
Lin Chen was eating breakfast when a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

He seemed slightly flustered.

Lin Chen stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth, quickly went out the door, and leaped onto the roof of the city lord's mansion.

Standing on the eaves, Lin Chen looked around, and his gaze instantly froze.

It was a beautiful day; the sky was clear and cloudless early in the morning, which allowed Lin Chen to see the large group of people standing in the sky more clearly.

This group of about twenty people floated in the sky. Some rode on swords, while others stood in mid-air with their robes fluttering. They looked down at Baitao City below, pointing and gesturing arrogantly.

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the silver-haired old man at the head of the group. The others stood behind him, looking at him with considerable respect.

Feng Jixin, mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Holy Fire Sect?

Lin Chen roughly counted them, feeling slightly heavy-hearted; the invading enemy was very strong.

If the silver-haired old man is indeed Feng Jixin, then besides him, there are seven other people standing in mid-air. In other words, besides Feng Jixin, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, there are seven Nascent Soul cultivators and more than ten Golden Core or Foundation Establishment cultivators!
Seven Nascent Soul cultivators?
Gu Yuanjie once said that he was the most powerful person in the entire Baitao City, but he was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. There were two other Nascent Soul cultivators, meaning there were only three Nascent Soul cultivators in total.

Compared to this, the difference seems to be more than just a little bit.

The enemy is at the city gates!
Just then, someone in the sky shouted: "Cultivators of White Wave City, listen up! We do not want to cause you unnecessary casualties. Please give up your futile resistance immediately, or you will bear the consequences."

The sound drifted leisurely through the air, spreading throughout the entire city of Baitao.

In Baitao City, figures moved about, and many people flew into the sky, approaching the city lord's mansion.

Many ordinary people also came out of their homes, looked at the sky, and their faces were quite tense.

As ordinary citizens, they didn't really care about the ownership of the city; in their eyes, they were all the same.

Does it matter who rules?

Their only concern was that once this fierce and successful siege began, they would be caught in the crossfire of a frenzied, volcanic attack.

Gu Yuanjie leaped up from the city lord's mansion and said in a deep voice, "The Holy Fire Sect is a renowned sect in the cultivation world, yet you resort to such despicable means as poisoning our city lord. Aren't you afraid of becoming a laughingstock?"

The silver-haired old man laughed heartily: "It's just some divine intoxication. Let her sleep for ten days or so. I'm doing this to avoid hurting our relationship. What, your city lord is dizzy, do you think you can stop me?"

Gu Yuanjie sneered, "No one in Baitao City surrenders without a fight!"

The silver-haired elder sneered, "Ignorant! You think you can stop a Nascent Soul cultivator like me with a mere magic array? You're dreaming." Gu Yuanjie said in a deep voice, "Try it then!"

Feng Jixin laughed loudly: "Alright, let's see what you can use to stop me!"

As Feng Jixin spoke, he descended from the sky, stood above the spiritual energy shield, raised his hand, and suddenly threw a punch.

A vast amount of spiritual energy gathered from between heaven and earth, instantly forming an extremely violent surge of spiritual energy that directly struck the surface of the spiritual energy shield.

The spiritual energy shield trembled violently, its color fading instantly. But in that instant, every array beneath the shield that spewed spiritual energy towards the sky suddenly became blazing brightly, and pillars of spiritual energy surged wildly towards the heavens.

As the pillar of spiritual energy surged forth, a large amount of spiritual energy entered the spiritual energy shield, instantly repairing the weakened shield.

The aura shield trembled, then returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Feng Jixin's face immediately darkened. His gaze swept over the array below, which was surging with spiritual energy, and he said coldly, "You really spare no expense, setting up so many spiritual light arrays!"

Gu Yuanjie replied in a clear and resonant voice, "The purpose of setting up the spirit light array is to protect the residents of Baitao City from demonic beasts and foreign invasions. Naturally, we cannot cut corners; we must set up as many arrays as possible!"

Feng Jixin sneered and swung his fist again, repeatedly pounding the spiritual energy shield below.

Under the formation, the spirit stones turned into powder, but the spiritual energy within them surged wildly into the sky, constantly repairing the spiritual energy shield.

The entire sky seemed to tremble, and the spiritual energy shield swayed, but it remained stable under Feng Jixin's attacks, showing no signs of collapse.

Seeing this, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

The spirit light array is really well-constructed!

Even a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert couldn't break through it, that's incredibly reliable!

After a barrage of attacks, Feng Jixin's face darkened. He had attacked with such full force that even a towering peak would have been destroyed, but the spiritual shield in front of him remained stable, showing no signs of collapse.

Feng Jixin was losing face and said loudly, "Fine, your formation is indeed well-made, but maintaining this formation requires a lot of spirit stones. I want to see how many spirit stones you poor folks have to squander!"

After finishing his drink, Feng Jixin turned around and said, "Everyone, attack with all your might and blast it open!"
