The system is the proficiency panel

Just as the two were discussing, a burst of hurried footsteps were heard from outside the door, followed by Luo Youran's voice.

"My dear husband, it's bad! News has come from the Abyss that the Rift City has suffered an unprecedented large-scale attack. The situation is extremely critical!"

Lin Ji and Dao Yan looked at each other, their eyes full of solemnity. They were originally discussing how to deal with the potential crisis of the abyss, but they didn't expect the crisis to come so soon. Lin Ji made a prompt decision and said.

"Daoyan, let's go to the Rift City first, and then discuss the countermeasures in detail on the way. Youran, notify Xiao Ningxue immediately and ask Tianshu City to prepare support. We will set off immediately!"

Luo Youran nodded in agreement and quickly went to arrange the relevant matters. Lin Ji and Dao Yan rushed towards the Rift City. Along the way, the wind was howling and the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if foreshadowing that a shocking war was about to break out.

……

When Lin Ji and Dao Yan arrived at the Rift City, the sight before them made their pupils shrink. Under the dark red sky, demons surged like a black tide, so dense that there was no end in sight.

They roared and growled, their scarlet eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, and their sharp fangs and claws exuded a chilling chill.

On the city wall, the plasma cannon of the Silver Thunder mecha continuously spewed out blue energy torrents, blasting out gorgeous flowers of death among the demons; the spiritual power turrets also continued to launch deadly attacks, blasting large groups of demons into pieces.

However, the number of demons was too great. In each wave of attacks, the fallen demons were instantly replaced by the demons behind. The piles of demon corpses under the city wall were soon trampled into pulp by the new demons.

"kill!"

Lin Ji shouted loudly, and the spiritual power around him surged like a tide. The long sword in his hand shone brightly, and he rushed into the group of demons like lightning, fighting side by side with other realm foundation builders.

Every time he swung his sword, hundreds of mid-level demons were killed. Wherever the sword flashed, the demons' limbs and arms flew all over the sky. Blood fell like raindrops, staining his clothes red, but it did not affect his movements at all.

Although Daoyan's strength was not as good as Lin Ji's, she was not willing to be outdone. She clasped her hands together and the shadows of the Eight Trigrams appeared around her.

"Leaving Fire, Burning Heaven!"

With a cry from her, flames gushed out from her fingertips, transforming into a huge fire dragon that rushed towards the demons. Wherever the fire dragon passed, the demons screamed miserably and were burned to ashes. Her foresight played a huge role at this time, and she was always able to avoid the demons' attacks in advance and give them a fatal blow.

With the long-range assistance of Garnier, the firepower of the Rift City worked closely with hundreds of Silver Thunder Mechas, and other realm foundation-building monks also defended the city walls and tried their best to resist the demons' attacks.

For a moment, the battlefield was filled with energy, and the sounds of explosions, roars, and swords clashing intertwined to form a tragic war symphony. Tens of thousands of demons were killed every minute, but the number of demons did not decrease, and instead tended to increase.

But fortunately, demons are inherently chaotic and evil, and there will often be battles in the front and civil strife in the back.

Some demons even killed each other on the battlefield in order to fight for flesh and souls. This relieved the pressure on the Rift City to a certain extent, otherwise, the city would have suffered even greater losses.

The cultivators relied on the great formation of the Rift City, and with the chaotic and evil nature of the demons, they fought for three days and three nights despite the difference in numbers of several hundred times.

During these three days, all the cultivators had not rested, and many cultivators' physical and spiritual strength had been exhausted to the limit, and mecha pilots died of fatigue. But they still gritted their teeth and persisted, never stopping wielding their weapons.

Finally, the demons in the rear seemed to have received some orders and began to retreat. They roared unwillingly and slowly retreated into the abyss.

When the last demon disappeared in the dark red horizon, Lin Ji wiped the setting sun in his hand and put it into the savings ring. At this time, his body was covered with the blood of the demon, and the strong smell of blood enveloped him.

He looked at the devastated battlefield, his heart filled with fatigue and emotion. In this tragic battle, countless lives were lost.

At this time, Pu Jianxing also defeated a demon lord and returned from a distance, landing beside Lin Ji. His robes were torn and his face was still stained with blood, but his eyes were still as sharp as a sword.

"Michiko, long time no see."

Pu Jianxing bowed slightly, his voice a little hoarse.

"Long time no see, Master Pu."

Lin Ji returned the greeting, his brows furrowed.

"What happened here? It's been peaceful for a few months, with only small-scale demon attacks. Why did it suddenly become like this?"

Pu Jianxing sighed and responded helplessly.

"It started with a Jindan Zhenren Wan Junfei who killed a group of eye demons in a certain layer of the abyss and rescued an alien from them."

"Alien?"

Lin Ji's eyes fixed.

"Yes."

Pu Jianxing nodded.

"He looks very similar to us, except for his ears. He has been in a coma since being brought back by Wan Junfei. Before we had the chance to ask him about his origins, an eye demon who called himself Gezemnide tracked us down."

Pu Jianxing paused, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

"The Eye Demon was so powerful that even Master Geng Qing had to fight him personally. In order to avoid affecting the Rift City, Master Geng Qing fought with the opponent at a very far distance. Seeing this, the nearby demon lords took the opportunity to gather a large number of demons to attack us. Wan Junfei and I led the defense, which led to the tragic situation just now."

Lin Ji was silent for a moment and asked.

"Now that the demons have retreated, does this mean that the battle on Master Geng Qing's side is over?"

Pu Jianxing nodded.

"It should be. The demons have retreated, which means that Gezemnide has been repelled or killed. True Lord Geng Qing will be back soon."

After knowing the general situation, Lin Ji nodded and asked again.

"Where is the alien now?"

Pu Jianxing responded.

"She was placed in the safest inner city area of ​​Fissure City and is personally guarded by the formation master of Tianyan Sect."

After Lin Ji nodded to indicate that he understood, he and Pu Jianxing joined other Taoist disciples and Jindan Zhenren to start dealing with the problems left over from the war. After the seven of them had made preliminary plans in the conference room for treating the wounded, repairing the city walls, and allocating resources, Zhenjun Geng Qing suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

His robe was torn and there were several obvious scars on his body. Although there was no bleeding, it was obvious that the battle was fierce.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly saluted. Geng Qing waved his hand to indicate that there was no need for courtesy. His eyes fell on Wan Junfei, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly.

"Wan Junfei, you caused quite a bit of trouble this time, but it made me very happy, not bad."

Wan Junfei's Adam's apple moved when he was named. He couldn't tell whether the True Lord was angry or not, so he had to bite the bullet and step forward to admit his mistake.

"Please forgive me, my Lord. It is my fault that I did not do my job well and brought a great enemy to Kaiyang Star."

Geng Qing smiled indifferently.

"I don't blame you. You didn't do anything wrong this time. Saving an alien race can lead to a demon with the strength of a female infant. This shows that the alien race is very important."

He paused, looking around at everyone.

"Take me to see him."

Wan Junfei breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully led the way. Seeing that the Master had no intention of asking them to avoid suspicion, Lin Ji and the others followed him and left together.
