Deputy City Lord Xiao personally flew to Yu Shu's side and said, "Fellow Daoist, I see that you have superb swordsmanship. I wonder if you can handle a fourth-stage early-stage demon beast. If you can kill it, then kill it. If not, then hold it back and wait for other Nascent Soul cultivators to come to your aid. After the beast tide ends, the Luoyun City Lord's Mansion will surely reward you handsomely."

Yu Shu looked up at the seven huge figures in the rain in the distance, each of them had an aura equivalent to that of a human Yuanying.

Looking at the human side, there were six Nascent Soul cultivators in total. Besides Deputy City Lord Liu, all three Nascent Soul cultivators from the City Lord's Mansion had arrived. There was also an early Nascent Soul cultivator from the Li family of Luoyun City. The other two were from the Seven Leaf Sect and the Southern Territory.

The Chu family has at least one God Transformation cultivator and two Nascent Soul cultivators, but they hid their strength. No high-level cultivators came, and they only sent people in the Foundation Establishment stage.

A comparison between the two sides shows that the situation on the human side is now serious. Yu Shu cannot guarantee that he can kill the fourth-level monster, but he can still delay it.

So he nodded and said, "I will do my best to hold back a fourth-level monster."

Deputy City Lord Xiao clapped his hands and laughed, "Good, good. This way, there's still hope for our human race. Fellow Daoist, please rest and conserve your strength. When the fourth-level monsters begin to attack, that's when we'll take action."

"May I ask your name, fellow Taoist?"

"Yushu."

Deputy City Lord Xiao turned to the people behind him and said, "Take Fellow Daoist Yushu to the quiet room to rest."

Yu Shu thanked him and left the front line with the guards, while Deputy City Lord Xiao continued to stay here and observe the battlefield at all times.

The residence of the talisman master.

The guards would come to collect the talismans every half a day.

The guard who collected the talismans in the morning came again to collect them. When he walked to Ran Changle's desk, he was shocked to see that there were hundreds of talismans on her desk again.

He didn't quite believe that Ran Changle could draw so much in half a day, so he deliberately stayed to watch for a while.

When he saw that Ran Changle could really draw a talisman in just a few breaths, and that the talismans she drew were better than those drawn by others, he felt ashamed of his previous misunderstanding of her.

He walked up to Ran Changle and bowed deeply: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have misunderstood you. You are the most powerful talisman master I have ever seen!"

Ran Changle was confused. She didn't seem to know him, so how could he apologize?

"Are you selling your talismans?"

This time the guard's tone was much more polite.

"Sell."

After taking Ran Changle's talisman, the guard went to the next talisman master.

The guards walked around, and the talisman master who was familiar with him mentioned how fast Ran Changle was at drawing talismans and how effective he was. Before long, all the talisman masters in the talisman master's base knew about the existence of such a talisman master.

Some people didn't believe it and came to see it for themselves.

They found that Ran Changle's speed in drawing talismans was exactly as the guards said, and she was actually only a five or six-year-old child. Many people felt competitive and sped up their work.

For a time, the output of talismans increased by nearly 10%.

More talismans were sent to the front line, which increased the chances of survival for those fighting on the front line.

The war raged on for a while, and both human cultivators and monsters suffered casualties.

Just when everyone thought that this would continue until the beast tide ended, a fourth-order mid-stage monster appeared among the monsters, and it also brought with it a large number of low-level monsters.

The balance was broken, the human race became weak, and more and more monks died.

Ran Changle even heard the news that a disciple of Lingxiao Sect had died. He had no time to be sad, so he could only turn his sadness into motivation and draw more talismans.

Three months have passed. According to previous practice, the monsters would slowly retreat at this time, but this time, not only did the monsters not retreat, but their numbers increased.

Moreover, the fourth-level monster neither approached nor left the Hengduan Mountains, as if it was waiting for something.

A depressing and gloomy atmosphere spread among the human race. Some people even tried to escape but were killed by the guards of the City Lord's Mansion.

Not long after, good news came that the Qiye Sect and Lingxiao Sect respectively sent Nascent Soul cultivators to help in the battle.

The morale of the human race rose again, and a new balance was formed with the monsters.

Everyone knows that this is just a sign of the coming storm. The monsters are waiting for the arrival of more powerful monsters, and the human race is also waiting for more support.

On this day, Ran Changle suddenly received news from Yu Shu that his spiritual roots began to retaliate again.

Only a few spiritual objects can cure the backlash of Yu Shu's spiritual roots. Spiritual objects are hard to find. Now only Ran Changle's healing skills can still work.

The war is about to break out at this time, and Yu Shu is considered a high-end combat force of the human race, so nothing can happen at this time.

Ran Changle quickly rushed to Yu Shu's residence.

He saw that his residence was already covered by a thin layer of ice crystals, which was spreading outwards.

Ran Changle didn't care about anything else and rushed into the house, put his hand on Yu Shu's hand and performed healing magic.

As Yu Shu's cultivation level increased, his ice spiritual roots became stronger. After just staying by his side for a short while, Ran Changle was shivering from the cold.

Fortunately, her cultivation has reached the early stage of Golden Core, and the effect of her healing technique has been greatly improved compared to before.

An hour later, Yu Shu's spiritual roots stabilized and he slowly retracted the cold air around him.

This stability is only temporary, and the spiritual roots will backfire in the next few days.

Ran Changle stayed and was ready to treat him at any time.

On this day, Deputy City Lord Xiao summoned all the Nascent Soul cultivators to discuss matters, and Yu Shu was also going to go. At this time, Ran Changle was treating Yu Shu.

"It's okay. I'm very skilled at performing healing spells now. I can just hold your hand. It won't interfere with other things."

Ran Changle saw that Yu Shu was a little embarrassed and said.

When the two of them walked into the conference room hand in hand, the others glanced at their hands indifferently, and then they understood, and did not drive Ran Changle out.

The Nascent Soul cultivator who came to support Lingxiao Sect this time was Ran Changle's master Yi Ling, but Ran Changle's figure, appearance and aura had changed, so he did not recognize Ran Changle.

After everyone arrived, Deputy City Lord Xiao was the first to speak: "The number of monsters is still increasing. The human race is in a precarious situation. We can only hold out for another half a month at most."

"Do you have any monks who can be recruited?"

Yi Ling said, "Level 5 monsters have appeared in Luoye City, and there are more Level 4 monsters than here. Most of our sect members have already gone to support Luoye City."

The Nascent Soul cultivator of the Seven Leaf Sect also said, "The situation in Luoye City is indeed more serious than here. Most of our sect members have also gone to Luoye City."

"These fourth-level monsters are slow to attack, probably because they are waiting for the arrival of fifth-level monsters. Now the city lord's injuries have not healed, and we don't have a spirit-transforming cultivator to fight against them. This is the biggest disaster." Captain Feng said in a serious tone.

"Can the Divine Transformation cultivators from Lingxiao Sect and Qiye Sect come to help?"

Deputy City Lord Xiao looked at Yi Ling and the Nascent Soul of the Qiye Sect.

The two shook their heads.

"Something happened in Tianyuan City. Qingyu Sword Master went to Tianyuan City. Now our sect only has the sect master in charge." Yi Ling said.

"The same is true for my sect."
