"What can we do?!"
Yun Qinghong stared into the distance, his face heavy with deep helplessness: “Do you still remember what the fourth generation Demon King spent half his life’s hard work to leave behind for the Demon King City?”
"Master, are you talking about... the city defense formation?" The great elder Yun Waitian said immediately.
There is a large city defense formation under the Demon King City. Almost no one knows about this nowadays. It is not a secret that cannot be known to outsiders, but it has long been gradually forgotten by history.
But among the Twelve Guardian Families, many people know of its existence.
"In the chronicles of my Illusory Demon Realm, it is indeed recorded that the Fourth Demon King spent hundreds of years and efforts to build a huge protective formation under the Demon King City in order to prevent the disaster from coming one day. However..." Mu Feiyan shook her head: "This city protection formation has been completely silent since the Fifth Demon King, and has never been used in the thousands of years since then. The power in the formation must have dissipated long ago, and now it is a complete death formation... Qinghong, you should understand this point."
“Yes, the city defense formation is indeed a dead formation.” Yun Qinghong said solemnly: “But even though the formation is dead, the formation base still exists and is intact. I have confirmed this with the Little Demon Queen half a year ago... At that time, I was just ordered to go there, and I didn’t expect that I would be forced to this point suddenly.”
“Master Yun, do you mean… to forcibly awaken the city defense formation to resist Xuanyuan Wentian?” A county prince opened his mouth wide in disbelief. The others were also dumbfounded… If Yun Qinghong nodded at this moment, they would definitely think he was crazy.
“That’s it!” Yun Qinghong didn’t hesitate at all. His voice suddenly became heavier and his eyes became extremely sharp. “Everyone, I believe you all have an idea of how much power is needed to awaken this city defense formation. And we only have less than half an hour! Within this half an hour, we must use all the available power… all! Including all the disciples and all the Xuanjing resources! Don’t hide anything!”
The word "all" is extremely heavy.
Everyone looked at Yun Qinghong in shock, and the Yun family disciples below were also in a daze... They simply couldn't believe their ears.
"Master Yun, use all your strength... all your accumulation to forcibly awaken the city defense formation... this, this, this..." A county prince shook his head, totally unable to understand. This is more than an exaggeration, it is simply ridiculous.
If this had not come from Yun Qinghong's mouth, they would have regarded it as the most ridiculous joke they had ever heard in their lives.
“I’m not kidding.” Yun Qinghong exhaled heavily and looked at everyone with a steady gaze: “Xuanyuan Wentian deserves our efforts… and we have no choice but to do so! Think carefully about how powerful the Little Demon Queen’s profound strength is. And Xuanyuan Wentian is someone who can defeat the Little Demon Queen!”
“Although the other party is only one person, he has brought the greatest disaster in the history of Monster King City! If the Huai Wang Rebellion succeeds, it will only be a change of royal power. However, if Xuanyuan Wentian breaks into the city, the consequence will be that the whole city will be stained with blood! Perhaps by this time tomorrow, Monster King City will have turned into ruins and no longer exist!”
"Do you wish to be slaughtered, or do you choose to devote all your efforts to this only resistance that may buy you a brief chance of survival?"
Yun Qinghong’s words were like a wake-up call, causing their expressions to change drastically… Perhaps it was not until this moment that they truly realized how terrifying this disaster was.
Although there is only one person...but his power surpasses that of the Little Demon Queen!!
This is a force that is completely enough to destroy the entire Demon King City! !
"Brother Yun, I understand." Su Xiangnan nodded heavily: "If I remember correctly, this city defense formation has a total of eight array areas, each with six array points. You are the one who gives the orders on what to do!"
"Yes, there is still no news about the Little Demon Empress, so Patriarch Yun is the most suitable person to take charge of the overall situation. Patriarch Yun, please rest assured, this matter concerns the life and death of Demon King City. All forces of Prince Zheng's Mansion will be dispatched, and all the accumulated Mysterious Crystals will be used without fail!"
"Master Yun, please give the order!!"
None of the guardian patriarchs, elders, and princes present showed any hesitation, and some were even shaking with nervousness.
“If Xuanyuan Wentian cannot attack from one position, he will definitely change his position, so all eight formation areas must be defended! And it is best to distribute the forces evenly, and not leave any weak areas. Otherwise, once a gap is opened, it will be a disaster for the Demon King City. As for how to arrange the layout, I will inform you later. Please go back to the clan quickly to gather all the disciples, bring all the Xuan crystals, and mobilize all the Xuan practitioners in the city as much as possible... Everything must be prepared in the shortest time possible, and then prepare to awaken the city defense formation.”
After saying that, Yun Qinghong turned around abruptly without waiting for their response and said sternly: "All disciples of the Yun family, listen up. I give you two hundred breaths to prepare and gather here again after two hundred breaths. Yun Ye, Yun Qiuyue, Yun Yanzhi, Yun Fanjian, quickly go to the medicine pavilion and take away all the black crystals and elixirs. Don't leave any behind!!"
Yun Qinghong issued the most tragic order since he became the patriarch of the Yun family. The other guardian families and kings also turned back as quickly as possible. Disaster had come, and the Demon King City was already in turmoil.
"Qibao... hurry! Immediately leave Demon King City and head south. The farther you go, the better. Don't look back!"
The only one who did not leave was Tianxia Xiongtu, who rushed to Tianxia Qishi and said anxiously, If he had not been concerned about her nine-month pregnancy, he would have wanted to push her away with a palm.
“No…” Number Seven Under Heaven shook his head stubbornly: “I want to be with Brother Yun.”
"Then you two should leave together!" Tianxia Xiongtu grabbed Xiao Yun and growled, "Take my daughter away immediately! Even if you don't leave for my daughter, you should do it for your wife and the child who is about to be born... If you don't leave now, it will be too late."
"I..." Xiao Yun panicked. He glanced at Number Seven Under Heaven and shook his head firmly: "How can I selfishly run away at this time... If I live like this, I won't even have the face to welcome the birth of my child. Seventh Sister, you..."
“Brother Yun, please stop talking.” Number Seven Under Heaven leaned against him gently and smiled, “Whether we live or die, our family will be together and no one will be alone.”
“You you you you…you two…” Tianxia Xiongtu stomped his feet in anger.
“Brother Tianxia, don’t worry.” Yun Qinghong smiled and said, “I won’t allow them to die before me. Moreover, even if Xuanyuan Wentian is so powerful, he won’t be able to break through the city defense formation that has gathered all our strength.”
"Ah!" Tianxia Xiongtu sighed heavily, soared into the air, and flew towards the family like crazy.
The air in the Demon King City suddenly began to become turbulent, and the Yun family was in turmoil. Only Yun Qinghong was still floating there quietly. He looked up at the sky, closed his eyes, and sighed softly: This method is undoubtedly drinking poison to quench thirst. Even if it temporarily stops Xuanyuan Wentian, it will seriously overdraw the power and foundation of the Demon King City, and it will definitely not be able to resist a second time.
However, Xuanyuan Wentian would arrive in half an hour, so there was no other choice.
Perhaps, the only thing we can expect is a miracle.
The news of the impending disaster spread throughout the entire Demon King City. All the citizens quickly got the news. The air was filled with heavy fear and turmoil. The streets were filled with countless people. Among these people were mortals and mystics, all of them desperately ran out of the city. However, nearly half of them stayed.
Led by the Yun family, with the twelve clans and the various royal palaces as the core, they quickly arranged and integrated the power of all the clans, sects, and forces in the city. Soon, the power of the eight formations was distributed, and the power released by countless mysterious people merged into a storm of mysterious power that was enough to shake the world. The power light released by the piled-up mountains of mysterious crystals even turned the sky purple.
Such a scene has never been seen before in the history of Illusory Demons. As Yun Qinghong had expected, under such power, the city defense formation that had been dormant for thousands of years was quickly awakened.
Rays of mysterious light shot up into the sky from below the Demon King City. Huge translucent light curtains slowly formed in the sky, connected, and then enveloped the entire Demon King City.
As the city defense formation was completed, the sky in the north suddenly darkened.
“The one in black… is Xuanyuan Wentian!!” Number One Under Heaven exclaimed in shock!
The Yun Family and the Tianxia Family were stationed in the northern region of the Guardian City. The Yun Family had dozens of elders and 20,000 disciples, and the Tianxia Family had 16,000 elves. If one went back to the Yun Family and the Tianxia Family at this time, one would find that the two large families were empty.
The real desperate situation!!
The same is true for other guardian families.
Led by the two guardian families, there are 300,000 mysterious practitioners from ordinary sects in the rear. Although their power level is far lower than that of the guardian families, the power of 300,000 mysterious practitioners cannot be underestimated.
The other seven array areas are also garrisoned by guard forces of similar strength.
Thick darkness spread rapidly from the north towards the direction of the Demon King City. This gloom was completely different from ordinary dark clouds. Just a glance at it made the whole body cold and the heart beat wildly, as if falling into the abyss of an icy prison. Many of the weaker profound practitioners in the back even broke out in cold sweat and shivered.
“Is this what you guys are talking about…Xuanyuan Wentian’s extremely strange black profound power?”
Even someone as strong as Yun Qinghong felt extremely uncomfortable all over under the dark aura that hadn't even approached him yet.
The dark aura that was getting closer and closer was far more terrifying than expected. Standing at the front, Tianxia Xiongtu looked at the dark sky in the north, his face becoming increasingly heavy. At this moment, he could clearly feel that Yun Qinghong's words were not exaggerated at all.
Because, that was a pressure that was even heavier and more terrifying than that of the Little Demon Queen!
"All disciples in the world listen up... get ready for battle! If you don't want to die, use all your strength!!" Tianxia Xiongtu roared.
“You can exit the city defense formation but not enter. Remember not to enter the formation by mistake.” Yun Qinghong said in a deep voice. He raised his hands, and purple lightning flashed in his palms. Dozens of thunder spirits surrounded his body.
“I didn’t expect that Xuanyuan Wentian’s strength would be so strong. He is nearly twice as strong as the Little Demon Queen!” The terrifying aura coming from the north made Yun Qinghong’s chest feel heavy and his face became even heavier.
“Ah? No… that’s not the case.” Xiao Yun’s entire body was filled with profound energy, and he was trembling with nervousness. “Although Xuanyuan Wentian defeated the Little Demon Queen at that time, he himself was also in a very bad state and was seriously injured. He could hardly stand. Even if he defeated the Little Demon Queen, he shouldn’t have won by too much.”
Yun Qinghong: “…”
“No,” Number One Under Heaven shook his head. “Xuanyuan Wentian’s aura has changed. It is much stronger than when he was in Profound Sky Continent three months ago. This aura alone is nearly twice as strong as the Little Demon Queen’s. It’s no exaggeration!”
"What...what!" Xiao Yun was shocked. He quickly concentrated his mind to feel the breath coming from the north. His face gradually turned pale, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead: "How...how could this happen..."
