Lihua reacted quickly and immediately ordered the elimination of the disciples of the five Lianchuan sects who were separated in the formation. Then she started to look for the reason for the appearance of the new defensive formation.

Then she saw teams of solemn and dignified True Immortal Realm monks wearing golden armor and helmets and uniform equipment climbing up the walls of Shilongsai.

Lihua and the surrounding Cangqiu demons stared blankly at these cultivators as they all climbed up the city wall and formed a line.

"Who is Lihua, the demon general of the Shilong Pass of the Cangqiu demon clan?" You Keji shouted loudly immediately after he climbed up the city wall.

Lihua snapped back to her senses, her pupils trembling violently. Five hundred True Immortal cultivators! When did such a massive force emerge within the clan?

At this time, You Keji called out again, and Lihua came forward to You Keji, bowed and said: "I am the demon general guarding Shilong Pass, Lihua."

You Keji looked at the haggard Lihua before him, then took out the elder's talisman and handed it to Lihua, saying, "My name is You Keji. I'm here by the order of General Tang Yutian to assist you in defending the Stone Dragon Pass. This is the elder's talisman of your Cangqiu demon clan."

Lihua was startled when she heard this, then quickly took the elder's talisman and took a look. After confirming that it was correct, she immediately bowed again and asked, "Aren't you from my Cangqiu demon clan?"

You Keji said, "Fellow Daoist, there is no need to ask who we are. Just know that we are here to help you defend the Stone Dragon Pass."

Hearing this, Lihua nodded, then cheered up. After returning the talisman to the elder, she said, "Excellent! With your joining us, Shilong Pass will never fall so easily."

Just as Lihua finished her words, she heard a deafening cry of killing coming from outside Shilong Pass. She quickly turned around and saw that the five sects of Lianchuan had also reacted at this moment and sent out disciples from their sect to attack the new defensive formation again.

"Not good, quickly garrison the main formation." Lihua said subconsciously, but Lihua's deputy general beside him said with embarrassment: "General, we have no more robbery jade."

But You Keji said: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist, our formation does not need the robbery jade to maintain it."

"What? If it doesn't need the Robbery Jade to maintain it, then what is used to maintain the formation? Mana power?" Lihua said in surprise.

You Keji smiled proudly, then raised his hand and pointed at the large formation in front of him that was flashing with ochre light. He said, "This is the 'Rock Formation'. It doesn't require robbery jade or mana to maintain it. It is based on the earth veins. As long as the earth veins are inexhaustible, it will be as solid as a rock."

"Earth veins?!" Lihua was stunned when she heard the word. Then she looked down and asked, "Are there veins under the earth?"

Yu Keji looked at Lihua in surprise. He didn't even know about the earth veins? It seemed that although this Biantian World was on the same level as the Yanfu World, the creatures here felt a bit naive and unsophisticated.

However, at this moment, Lihua's attention has been focused on the rock formation again, but she found that the rock formation did not move at all under the tide-like attack of the five sects of Lianchuan.

"It's like countless ants trying to push down a mountain." said the deputy general beside Lihua.

After a long and fruitless attack, the high-level cultivators from the five sects of Lianchuan finally could not sit still anymore. More than ten True Immortal Realm cultivators joined in the attack on the formation.

However, the Rock Formation remained motionless. Lihua and the surrounding demon cultivators opened their mouths wide. Although the defensive formation they had previously set up could withstand the attacks of more than ten True Immortals, it would cause severe vibrations and impacts on everything around it because it was unable to quickly dissipate the huge force.

However, this rock formation did not experience such a situation at all. This meant that the attacks of the dozen or so True Immortals were absorbed by the power of the rock formation the moment they hit it.

After an unknown amount of time, the five sects of Lianchuan withdrew all their True Immortal cultivators and disciples and suspended their offensive against the Rock Formation.

As the monks from the five sects of Lianchuan retreated like a tide, You Keji said, "They are exhausted and we are full. It is a good time to fight and dampen their fighting spirit."

"What?" Lihua was shocked when she heard this. She looked at You Keji in disbelief and quickly advised, "General You, no! The enemy is powerful and there are Celestial Immortal Realm cultivators here. We just need to hold the formation and don't rush into battle."

You Keji smiled at Lihua and said, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I know what to do."

After saying this, You Keji said loudly: "Who is willing to challenge and dampen the enemy's spirit?"

The surrounding heavenly soldiers were immediately excited and shouted, "I'll go!"

“I’ll go!”

"I can challenge three True Immortals!"

"I can challenge Xuanxian!"

"Then I will challenge the Celestial Immortal!"

Listening to the celestial soldiers around her calling for battle, Lihua was stunned. What were they doing? You're just True Immortals. Where do you get the confidence to challenge Xuan and Celestial Immortals? Are these people all crazy?

But You Keji pointed directly at the celestial soldier who wanted to challenge the celestial immortal and said, "Okay, then go ahead! Challenge the enemy celestial immortal cultivator!"

The soldier who was called out was immediately overjoyed. He quickly took off the Huaguang treasure gun from his back and held it in his hand. Then he bowed to You Keji with excitement and said, "I will obey your orders!"

The heavenly soldiers around him sighed and looked listless, and could only look enviously at the heavenly soldier who had already flown out of the rock formation.
