The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Wan Nian stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes indifferent, and no one could tell that he was bluffing.

The moment Zhong Tu looked over, Wan Nian almost cried. He didn't know how Xiao Xun would react in this situation.

He could only mimic Ying Ren's expression and give a bloodthirsty, threatening look.

But that was enough; the witch who had been looking at him withdrew her gaze.

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Wan Nian would have wanted to run up to Shen Huaichuan and Yun Yici to ask for praise.

Seeing that Yun Yici did not need help, Shen Huaichuan stood next to Wannian.

With Shen Huaichuan around, Wan Nian felt much more at ease. He kept a straight face and dared not show any fear.

Zhong Tu, having withdrawn his gaze, was pondering: Why did Xiao Xun's gaze just now resemble that of a castrated monster?

There's something fishy going on; there must be something fishy going on.

The fighting outside was raging, and she didn't want to become the focus of attention for all the demons.

Zhong Tu was determined to stay put, while Tao Jiang, blinded by lust, was oblivious, staring longingly at the dazzling white-clad female swordswoman on the city wall.

Shen Huaichuan frowned slightly and immediately put his hand on Yun Yici, who was already aiming at Tao Jiang: "You also need to rest for a while. If they attack the vicinity of the city wall later, it will be very dangerous if you run out of spiritual energy."

Yun Yici was full of energy, but upon hearing Shen Huaichuan's words, she still reluctantly handed over the Demon-Slaying Bow to the cultivator who took over her position.

Yun Yici said, "When I first shot an arrow, I realized that arrows and spirit swords are two different methods."

Yun Yici actually quite likes archery; bows and arrows are for ranged combat, while spirit swords are for melee.

However, she had never seen an archer. Could it be that this type of cultivator was not suitable for close combat and was only suitable for sneak attacks, so there were very few archers?

Shen Huaichuan subtly pulled her behind him before speaking to her.

Tao Jiang, who was below the city, was furious to see the beautiful girl he had his eye on being hidden away by a stinky man.

He sneered and ordered the demon army, "Demon generals, listen to my command! Attack the city! Once inside, you can do whatever you want!"

Tao Jiang's orders gave the demon army, which had been suppressed by human cultivators, a new backbone.

Since the start of the war, the human cultivators have been unharmed, while the human cultivators have suffered heavy casualties.

The demon army's offensive formation instantly changed, with the demons and warriors who were initially at the forefront immediately retreating.

Several demon generals, leading demonic beasts clad in sturdy armor, cleared a bloody path through the enemy.

Arrows made from sealing stones are at a disadvantage when facing high-level demons and defensive magical beasts.

Qingwei remained remarkably calm: "Arrow formation, retreat! Fellow cultivators of talismans! Please lend your support to our Immortal Absolute City!"

In an instant, half of the cultivators with bows and arrows retreated to the back to continue shooting arrows, while the other half began to help the talisman cultivators activate the talismans.

The talisman cultivators stood at the front, each holding a spirit brush. The spirit brushes were of various styles, but what they all had in common was the speed at which they wrote with great speed!

Unlike the bows and arrows of the past, which could be used by everyone, talisman cultivators focused on drawing talismans, while a cultivator was assigned to create the talismans.

Because talisman cultivators risk ruining their talismans, most talismans are either kept in stock by Juexian City or rely on talisman cultivators.

Xiao Xun knew that once Juexian City was breached, everyone would die, so he disregarded the cost of this battle.

Seeing that the defense on the city wall was struggling, Yun Yici even had Meng Sui come up to help draw talismans.

Feeling she still had some energy left, she stood next to Meng Sui and took charge of helping to activate the talisman.

Meng Sui was covered in sweat. He and Pei Heng had grown up in a sheltered environment and had never had the experience of drawing talismans in the face of life and death.

He was both nervous and anxious, and his hands trembled so much that he ruined two talismans in a row.

Fortunately, Meng Sui quickly got the hang of it.

On the contrary, the rogue cultivators on the side were very steady, and countless explosive talismans came out of their hands one after another.

At this moment, all the fancy talismans are useless; they desperately need to break through the monster's defenses!

Under the continuous bombardment of explosive tokens, even the invincible monsters showed weaknesses.

The archer monks hidden behind them immediately seized the opportunity and rained down arrows, defeating one demonic beast after another.

However, the Demon Lord, stepping over the corpses of demonic beasts, will soon besiege the city.

Qingwei took a deep breath; reinforcements wouldn't arrive anytime soon.

There are still two demon lords outside who haven't made a move yet!

Upon seeing this, Tao Jiang burst into laughter: "Xiao Xun, if you open the city gates now and let us in, at least the women in your city can save their lives."

Wan Nian noticed Tao Jiang's malicious gaze. He raised his chin and said coldly, "Those who offend my Jue Xian City shall die!"

His tone was cold yet firm, which brought tears to Qingwei's eyes, even though she knew he was a fake.

Not to mention the cultivators who held their ground on the city walls, and the city dwellers who placed their hopes on Xiao Xun.

Tao Jiang's expression showed interest when he heard that Xiao Xun was so stubborn.

"Alright! I'll take you on!"

Tao Jiang extended black wings composed of demonic mist from behind her, took to the air, and thrust her halberd directly at Wan Nian.

Wan Nian's pupils contracted, and he was about to take out the magic staff that Yun Yici had given him, but Yun Yici blocked Tao Jiang's demonic halberd with a sword.

Tao Jiang smiled with interest: "It's you."

Yun Yici looked up and said, "No, it's your father."

She tossed a wind-blown bead from her fingertip, and a massive whirlwind appeared out of nowhere, engulfing countless demons and demon warriors.

The storm was so strong that even the carriage of Zhong Tu, which had only made it halfway there, was overturned.

Zhong Tu: ......

Even so, it allowed her to clearly see the face of the instigator.

It's that female cultivator again.

Zhong Tu thought about his suspicion that there was a powerful figure helping him in Juexian City. Could it be this female cultivator?

She observed that the female cultivator appeared to be of a young age, yet seemed quite unlike her.

Zhong Tu's deep thoughts were misunderstood by Tao Jiang as her also having taken a liking to Yun Yici, and he hurriedly said, "Old ghost Zhong Tu, this is the person I have my eye on."

"You're not allowed to try and take it from me."

Zhong Tu: Listen to me, thank you.

She had originally planned to slack off and then go back to report, but Tao Jiang's words gave her the perfect opportunity to slack off openly.

Zhong Tu's eyes darted around, and he deliberately provoked, "The person you've set your sights on? Have you forgotten the imperial edict?"

Anyway, even if we steal it, it'll just benefit the imperial edict.

Zhong Tu's implied meaning immediately enraged Tao Jiang: "I told you not to mention that thieving bird!"

Yun Yici blocked the demonic halberd with Huai Chuan's sword, which dissipated into a wisp of black smoke, then instantly solidified and was grasped back into Tao Jiang's hand.

Tao Jiang licked her lips: "What a pity. I was planning to play with you for a bit, but I'll find you again after the city falls."

He originally intended to capture the beautiful female cultivator, but after being provoked by Zhong Tu, his desire to win the battle to conquer the city ultimately overwhelmed his lust.

Tao Jiang laughed loudly, and as he swung the demonic halberd in his hand, it grew hundreds of times larger, heading straight for the sky above Juexian City.

The oppressive feeling of seeing the Immortal City about to be split in two goes without saying.

Qingwei finally drew her sword and roared, "Form the formation!"

Countless spirit swords, carrying sword intent, soared into the sky and hovered above the Immortal City. With their blades only a few inches long, they forcefully blocked the terrifying demonic halberd!
