The original repairer

Stepping into the teleportation array, with a flash of light, the three of them were teleported to the fairy city closer to the front line.

After the transmission, the three of them appeared in an unfamiliar fairy city.

The atmosphere here is also tense and busy, obviously because it is close to the front line.

"Excuse me, are you Master Shi Chen?" a Jindan cultivator in front of the teleportation array asked respectfully.

Shi Chen looked up, feeling confused. He had just arrived and hadn't notified anyone, not even his Taoist partner. How could anyone know of his coming?

"I'm Shi Chen. Is there anything wrong?" Shi Chen said calmly, with a hint of doubt in his voice.

"It's like this. The city lord received the news that you were teleported to this city and wanted to invite you to the city lord's mansion. I wonder if you have time to go?" The Jindan cultivator said respectfully with a sincere tone.

"Who is the mayor of this city? Did he tell me what he wants to ask me for?" Shi Chen already had an idea in his mind. It must be Lian Daoyang's doing to notify the mayor of this city.

"Master, the mayor of this city is the mayor of Youcheng. As for the purpose, I don't know. I just came here to invite you." The Jindan cultivator answered respectfully with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"You Cheng? General Peng's deputy? You need me for something, pills? Or something?" Shi Chen pondered and muttered to himself.

"Senior, what should we do? Should we go to the City Lord's Mansion?" Han Xiao asked softly.

Shi Chen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Originally, if the city lord had invited me, I would have gone if I had nothing else to do, but I have important matters to attend to, and I can't afford to waste time.

I can only decline City Lord You's invitation for now. Tell him that I appreciate his hospitality, but I have urgent matters to attend to and will visit him again when I have the chance."

The Jindan cultivator looked embarrassed, but he did not dare to disobey Shi Chen's wishes, so he had to respond respectfully: "Yes, Master. I will report to the city lord right away." After that, the Jindan cultivator turned and left.

Shi Chen looked at his back, feeling somewhat helpless. He took a deep breath and walked towards the flying boat dock with Han Xiao and Shi.

Three days later, Shi Chen arrived at the front-line command camp, where the atmosphere was even more solemn.

It can be said that there was a guard post every ten feet and a sentry post every five feet around the camp.

Shi Chen took Han Xiao and Shi Di and slowly walked towards the entrance of the camp.

The guards saw them approaching and immediately became alert, shouting, "Who are you? This is the front-line command camp, no one is allowed to trespass!"

Shi Chen bowed slightly and said, "Please inform Commander Peng that Shi Chen wishes to see you."

The guards looked at each other and found that the leader's cultivation level was unclear and they could not sense his realm. One of them quickly ran to report.

After a while, the guard returned and said respectfully, "General Peng invites you. Please follow me."

Shi Chen and the others followed the guards into the camp. They saw that the camp was well-organized, with the monks coming and going with serious expressions, busy carrying out various tasks.

They came to a spacious tent and the guard motioned for them to wait there.

A moment later, the tent curtain opened, and General Peng saw Shi Chen. A smile appeared on his face, and he walked forward and said, "Master Shi, long time no see!"

Shi Chen clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "General Peng, how are you?"

Peng Xuanbo extended his left hand into the tent and said, "Master Shi, please come in and talk."

Shi Chen nodded slightly and walked into the big tent with Han Xiao and Shi Di.

The interior of the tent was simple yet solemn, with a huge map in the middle, marked with various military signs and terrain features.

Peng Xuanbo walked to the commander's seat, turned around, motioned the three to sit down, and then sat down on the commander's seat.

When the three men saw General Peng sitting down, they bowed and then sat aside.

"The conditions for marching and fighting are poor, so we cannot entertain you, master. Please forgive me!" Peng Xuanbo looked at Shi Chen and said with a gentle smile on his face, with a hint of apology in his eyes.

Shi Chen waved his hand slightly and said calmly: "General Peng, you are too polite. The war is important now. There is no need to care about these empty formalities." He didn't mind the simple environment around him at all.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. I wonder if Master Shi can find the origin of the realm?" Peng Xuanbo asked with a hint of curiosity and anticipation.

"I have been to those strange places, and I have not found the origin of the realm. This time I came here to find General Peng, one is to understand the situation on the front line, and the other is to inquire about the news of Master and the strange places." Shi Chen's face was solemn, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Peng Xuanbo frowned slightly, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Although the battle situation on the front lines is relatively stable, the sea monsters are still fierce, so we must not take it lightly. As for the place of strange phenomena, many sect disciples have explored the continents and states, but have not found any."

Shi Chen pondered, his eyes becoming penetrating. "It seems that finding the place of the vision is not easy. Commander Peng, if you need my help, please let me know."

Peng Xuanbo nodded, a look of relief on his face, and said with a smile, "Master, I feel relieved with your words. If you can help me at this critical moment, that would be great."

Shi Chen clasped his hands together and said seriously, "It is my duty."

"Oh!" Peng Xuanbo suddenly sighed, his face full of distress.

"General Peng?" Shi Chen heard a sigh and noticed that Peng Xuanbo's face looked strange, so he asked in confusion.

"In the past six months, the sea monsters have shrunk their front lines and have all taken refuge in the Immortal City, using the city's defensive formations to resist. Our human coalition has made no progress." Peng Xuanbo's eyes were filled with anxiety and helplessness.

"These immortal cities were once owned by the human race. The defensive formations inside were also set up by the human race. It shouldn't be difficult to break them. How could they become an obstacle?" Shi Chen frowned and said, tapping his knees with his fingers.

Peng Xuanbo shook his head slightly, "Master, you don't know that over the past few years, the coalition forces have been attacking Dayu Continent. From the construction of temporary flying boat docks along the coast, to gaining a firm foothold, they began to steadily advance in all directions.

The first three years were very smooth. We conquered every city we encountered and captured every stronghold we encountered. It was a smooth sailing.

A year ago, the tide suddenly turned. The sirens knew how to rely on the defense of the fairy city and also mastered many of the fairy city's protective formations, causing our coalition forces to suffer setbacks everywhere. Now both sides occupy half of the continent, and they are fighting back and forth.

As long as the coalition forces show signs of joining forces to attack a city, the sirens will also gather their demon soldiers, either to attack the fairy city with weak manpower, or to increase the number of demon soldiers of the coalition forces attacking the fairy city.

In the past six months or so, the coalition forces have not recaptured a single city."

Shi Chen listened to Peng Xuanbo's words and thought to himself.

This siren is not only brave and reckless, but also knows how to make tactical plans.

The protective formations of these immortal cities were originally set up by humans, but now they are being used by sea monsters to resist the coalition forces, which is really tricky.

This means that there may be people among the sirens who are proficient in formations, or they may have received guidance from some formation masters.

If we want to break the current deadlock, we must first solve the problem of the fairy city's protective formation.

Is there a spy among the human race? A spy!

Yes, it must be, but it should be difficult to find out.

"General Peng, after so many years, is there any news about Li Tianfeng?" Shi Chen asked with his eyes slightly narrowed and his voice turned cold.

"Li Tianfeng?" Peng Xuanbo was slightly taken aback, then said warily, "Ever since he hunted you, there has been no news of him. I don't know where he is hiding. Are you saying there are spies among the human race, communicating with the Siren Clan?"

"I'm just guessing. It's up to you, Commander-in-Chief, to plan and find that person. As for breaking the Immortal City formation, I should be able to help." Shi Chen clenched his fists and said softly.

"You?" Peng Xuanbo's eyes widened in surprise and he asked in disbelief, "Master Shi, are you kidding? Are you using elixirs to attack the formation?"

Hearing this, the expressions of the two people behind Shi Chen changed.

Shi Di opened his mouth slightly, with a hint of laughter in his eyes, but then he quickly restrained himself.

Han Xiao pursed his lips, trying hard not to laugh, but his eyes revealed a hint that he found General Peng's words a little funny.

However, they also agreed with Senior Shi's confidence because they had personally experienced Shi Chen's attainments in formation.

Shi Chen shook his head slightly and said solemnly, "General Peng has misunderstood. I am proficient in the art of alchemy and have also studied the art of formations. Although I can't say I am proficient in it, I am still capable of breaking this immortal city's protective formation."

After saying this, confidence shone in Shi Chen's eyes.

"Are you serious?" Peng Xuanbo stood up in shock and said, "Can you really break the Immortal City's protective formation?"

"General Peng," Han Xiao behind him couldn't help but say, "Senior Shi's array decree is second to none among the array masters I've met. No one can claim to be first."

Peng Xuanbo glanced at the two people behind Shi Chen and found that they were only Jindan stage cultivators, and he was very suspicious.

Squinting his eyes, he pondered: The highest formation masters that a Jindan cultivator would see were only at level three or four. The defense formations of the Immortal City were all composite formations of level four or above. Shi Chen was already one of the best in the field of alchemy, so could formations also be...
