For thousands of years, although there have often been frictions between the human and demon realms, both sides have left buffer zones for each other, keeping all the fighting at the border between humans and demons.
This is the first time the demons have gone to such lengths to try and cross the boundary marker.
At the boundary between humans and demons, before and after the boundary marker, the colors of the two realms are clearly distinct.
Although the land of the human realm is desolate and uninhabited due to its proximity to the demon realm, with yellow earth covering the ground, it is occasionally lush with new greenery.
On the other side of the boundary marker, there was only pure, endless blackness.
Suddenly, dust billowed up from the black border in the distance, which represented the demon realm.
The earth trembled more and more violently, and deafening howls and roars were close at hand. A huge and ferocious demon army came into view of the cultivators on the scouting mission.
Following behind the demon army were four demonic beasts, as fierce as tigers and leopards with sharp teeth and claws, dragging two noble and supreme chariots.
Sitting inside were Zhong Tu and Tao Jiang.
Seeing the demon army about to cross the boundary marker in the distance, the cultivators sent out by Juexian City to scout the area felt a chill run down their spines and hurriedly returned to their camp to relay the message back to the city before they were discovered.
Yun Yici immediately informed Xiao Xun of the demon army's movements, and Juexian City had already entered a state of war preparedness.
The cultivators recruited to clear out the demons at the border between humans and demons were all recalled to the city.
At this moment, Juexian City was on high alert, with its gates closed, and it was no longer accepting any visitors except for reinforcements from nearby cities.
The number of guards above the city gate has increased several times, and there are also several Nascent Soul cultivators stationed at the city gate.
Yun Yici was also on the city gate, with Shen Huaichuan by her side.
Wan Nian, disguised as Xiao Xun, kept a straight face and tried his best not to hide behind Yun Yici and the other two.
Xiao Xun was still recovering from his serious injuries when he fought with Fu Chen again, and his wounds reopened.
Therefore, he temporarily disguised himself as Xiao Xun and patrolled the city gate to stabilize the hearts of the people in the city.
Under the admiring and respectful gazes of the cultivators, Wan Nian felt a great responsibility, but apart from nodding and saying "uh-huh," he knew nothing else.
Fortunately, Qingwei was there to help, so Wannian didn't give himself away.
After Qingwei "accompanied" Wannian on a tour of the city gates, she returned to Yun Yici and Shen Huaichuan's side.
The four people stood close together, with no one else nearby.
Qingwei breathed a sigh of relief and thanked them, saying, "Thank you so much."
Xiao Xunyuan deeply abhorred this kind of deceitful trick.
However, he, as the commander-in-chief, was seriously injured before the battle even began.
His appearance on the battlefield in such a weakened state would be detrimental to morale, so they agreed to let Wan Nian temporarily transform into his likeness to boost morale.
Xiao Xun was standing below the city gate, with Pei Heng and Meng Sui by his side, and Pei Heng treating him.
If anything changes at the city gate, Xiao Xun will come immediately.
Qingwei only hoped that nothing unexpected would happen in this battle.
Wan Nian mimicked Xiao Xun's tone and said, "Fellow Daoist Qingwei, you're too kind."
Wan Nian's imitation was so convincing that Qing Wei was stunned for a moment before laughing, "I almost didn't realize it."
The next moment, Qingwei's smile froze, and Yun Yici's expression also became extremely solemn.
Everyone saw the approaching, surging demonic army and the heavily armored, roaring monsters.
Not to mention those two riding in the Great Demon's chariot.
Qingwei roared, "All cultivators, advance into battle!! Do not be careless!!"
With Qingwei's command, a huge golden magic array rose in the sky above the entire Juexian City, with the city gate as the boundary.
Yun Yici recognized the array as a kind of land-enclosing and protective formation.
Above the city gate, the fully equipped cultivators of Juexian City stood at the forefront. Regardless of their cultivation path, they all held bows and arrows with sealing magic arrays drawn on them.
Qingwei had explained to her before that the bow and arrows were specially made, and the arrows were also specially made, using spirit stones as rare as those used in the Demon Sealing Cage.
In close combat with the main force of the demon realm, human cultivators with mortal bodies are at a disadvantage compared to demon cultivators who are immortal due to their demonic cores.
Once demonic energy invades their bodies, their minds will be briefly controlled, and then they will be directly devoured and torn apart by the demon army.
On the battlefield, a single misjudgment can cost a life.
Therefore, ranged weapons are the most practical weapons for low-level cultivators in Juexian City to fight against the demon race.
Yun Yici also received a Demon-Slaying Bow, and Shen Huaichuan gave her some temporary training.
She can control the wind speed and direction, so accuracy is not a concern.
The white-clad girl carrying Huai Chuan fluttered in the wind, her longbow fully drawn.
Her eyes were sharp as a falcon's; she infused the arrow with spiritual power and set her sights on a proud magical beast pulling its mount.
The moment Yun Yici released her grip, an invisible arrow shot out like lightning, cutting through the wind.
Before the demons could react, the arrow pierced directly into the beast's blood-red eye!
The monster's howl caused it to kick its hooves wildly.
The carriage pulled by the two beasts immediately overturned and became unstable, and Tao Jiang inside jumped up in a fit of rage.
He blasted the magnificent vehicle into pieces with his demonic energy, and the first thing Tao Jiang did upon appearing was to remove the head of the demonic beast that Yun Yici had shot with his bare hands.
The blood of the monsters gushed down from the sky, instantly agitating all the monsters that smelled the blood.
Yun Yici's arrow also awakened the fighting spirit of all cultivators. After the wind arrow, countless spirit arrows carrying light representing different spiritual powers covered the sky above Juexian City!
For a time, the screams of low-level demons and warriors filled the air.
However, with all the demons gathered this time, these demon-sealing arrows would only be effective if they hit the demons' heads.
If it cannot penetrate the magic core of a demon warrior or a high-level demon cultivator, and instead hits their physical body, it will only temporarily seal their magic power.
Moreover, these demon-sealing arrows have a drawback: they require a large amount of spiritual energy to be injected when used.
Ordinary Qi Refining cultivators can only manage three energy boosts at most, while Foundation Establishment cultivators can only manage ten before needing to replenish their spiritual power.
Fortunately, Xiao Xun had anticipated this and divided his forces into several groups. When a cultivator was exhausted and needed rest, a new cultivator would immediately take his place.
Only through such rotations could they barely stop the demon army from reaching the walls of Juexian City.
Yun Yici has had many fortuitous encounters since he began his cultivation. He has mastered the exquisite techniques of the Lingwei Sect, which has expanded his sea of consciousness and meridians several times over, making his spiritual power more abundant than that of ordinary cultivators.
The cultivators on the city wall changed twice, but she remained energetic and could even fire three or four demon-sealing arrows at once.
Moreover, with the help of the wind, her arrows never missed, and almost every arrow reaped the lives of the demon soldiers.
Such a special and outstanding person naturally caught the attention of Zhong Tu and Tao Jiang.
Tao Jiang immediately recognized her as the female cultivator who had blinded his mount. He couldn't help but drool over Yun Yici's stunning beauty.
The stronger a woman is, the more she can ignite his desire to conquer her.
Zhong Tu remained seated as steady as a mountain. When he glanced up and saw Tao Jiang's anxious expression, he knew that the other party had fallen back into his old habits.
She sneered inwardly, but her gaze fell on "Xiao Xun" beside the female cultivator.
Zhong Tu's eyes were burning. On the day Fu Chen and Fu Ying were captured, they received news that Xiao Xun was seriously injured. How come he is acting as if nothing happened today?
