Chapter 270: Beast Tide Attacks the City
Underground, Ning Daoran burrowed madly into the mud. His body turned into a shadow in the mud, and he could cover several miles in a flash.
Balls of flames exploded in the air, and thousands of fire-eating ants attacked the ancestor of the Xu family one after another. These fire-eating ants had evolved extremely strong wings, which gathered into wisps of residual flames, forcing the ancestor of the Xu family to be on guard.
If he allowed these fire-eating ants to gnaw at him, their protective aura would be eaten up in a blink of an eye. Moreover, once the fire-eating ants burrowed into his skin and flesh, it would be extremely troublesome. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would suffer a great loss.
The ancestor of the Xu family waved his palms and smashed the fire ants into pieces without any hesitation.
In addition, those Grade A and Grade B paper figures that came to attack were not worth mentioning. In front of the Nascent Soul cultivators, they were just a spiritual pressure and a wisp of magic power to push them away. However, the large number of these paper figures still delayed the ancestor of the Xu family a lot of time.
Dozens of breaths later, when the ancestor of the Xu family took off into the air again, he could no longer sense Ning Daoran's breath, and he was immediately filled with hatred. This boy had a very strong way of concealing his breath, and as long as he kept a distance of dozens of miles, he could cut off the spiritual sense detection of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
At this time, the soul-seeking insects that the Xu family's ancestor had carefully cultivated for many years were all killed by the fire-eating ants. Without the help of the soul-seeking insects, finding Ning Daoran's whereabouts would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Jianjia Sanren..."
The ancestor of the Xu family stood in the wind, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness.
This time, he ignored Shen Luoyan's opposition and attacked Jianjia Sanren again, which would inevitably anger the owner of the Xianshi Tower. Although the Xianshi Tower did not have an explicit order prohibiting members from killing each other, everyone who joined the Xianshi Tower knew it tacitly. Once they joined the Xianshi Tower, all grudges would be settled, and generally, even if there were grudges, they would eventually be settled.
Now that Ning Daoran has escaped without a trace, this makes the ancestor of the Xu family feel a little uneasy. However, he is not too worried. Now that he is the real master of the White Dragon Immortal City, the Immortal Killing Tower in Yizhou has to rely on the resources of the White Dragon Immortal City. Even if the owner of the tower knows about it, he will be cautious and will not make things difficult for him.
Thinking of this, the ancestor of the Xu family snorted coldly and left with a wave of his sleeves.
…
Thousands of miles away, in the lush forest.
Ning Daoran used the Wood Escape technique in the old vine and operated the Acalanatha magic to its peak, restraining the aura of his whole body without a trace. At this time, the thousands of fire-eating ants in his soul's perception no longer had any resonance, and it was obvious that they had all fallen victim to the murderous hands of the ancestor of the Xu family.
What a pity for those thousands of mini warriors.
In addition, the released Grade A and Grade B paper figures were basically wiped out, resulting in heavy losses in this battle.
Fortunately, the Green Water Turtle was put into the spirit beast bag early, so it was not damaged. However, the flags and array plates of the Flowing Fire Demon God Formation had been repeatedly pushed by the Nascent Soul magic power, and had already shown signs of cracks and damage. It would probably cost a lot of materials to refine them again.
At this time, he was more convinced that a third-order formation could not do anything to a Yuanying cultivator. If he wanted to use a formation to kill a Yuanying cultivator, he would have to start with a fourth-order formation! Unfortunately, the world was vast, and any fourth-order formation was the top existence in this world of immortal cultivation, and they were all things that could only be encountered by chance.
Ning Daoran frowned, and after checking the losses, he released another first-class paper figure. This first-class paper figure transformed into the appearance of a patrolling monk that Ning Daoran had seen before, and his cultivation was suppressed to the initial stage of foundation building.
After a glance, the Grade A paper figure floated away.
His mission was to sneak into the White Dragon Immortal City and inform Dabenlu, Xiaobai, Xiaoheizi and others not to leave the cave. As long as they stayed in the White Dragon Immortal City, the Xu family's ancestor would not make things difficult for them.
After all, the person that the Xu ancestor wanted to kill was Jianjia Sanren, not Ning Daoran.
According to the information provided by Shen Luoyan, not many people know that Jianjia Sanren is Ning Daoran. In the entire Shixian Tower, probably only the two masters, Shen Luoyan and Long Xingtian, know about it.
As for the ancestor of the Xu family, he was unable to see through the disguise of the aura of the Acalanatha Divine Art.
However, even so, Ning Daoran still decided to stay outside the city for a while to avoid the limelight.
Ahead, a dark mountain range stood between heaven and earth.
Qingli Mountain is a wilderness mountain range located more than a thousand miles away from Bailong Immortal City. It has deep forests and very little flat land, making it unsuitable for living. Therefore, it is seldom visited by people. Even the spiritual energy here is scarce, and even immortal cultivators rarely come here.
Therefore, Ning Daoran opened up a simple cave in the mountain of Qingli Mountain, completely covered the cave with the White Feather Flowing Sound Formation, and then continued to practice in the cave with the Green Water Turtle.
Several months passed in the blink of an eye.
The Flowing Fire Demon God Formation was refined and repaired. It consumed a lot of materials from third-level monsters and about ten thousand spirit stones, which was still acceptable. After all, this formation saved his life.
It's a pity that Lingpu Cave Heaven stayed with the big stupid deer, so it is impossible to collect the sap of the Tianshuang Liuli Tree to make paper figures. But there is no rush, there is plenty of time to do it later.
A few days later, a first-class paper man used the earth escape technique to sneak underground and entered the cave.
With their souls connected, Ning Daoran could immediately understand the information that the paper man had found out.
In the past few months, something big happened in Bailong Immortal City! Probably a few days after the ancestor of the Xu family left the city to go to Zhufeng Lake to hunt him down, a beast tide that should not be underestimated appeared outside Bailong Immortal City, led by a third-stage middle-stage demon beast. The beast tide attacked Bailong Immortal City fiercely, causing a lot of casualties to the cultivators in the city.
In addition, word spread in the city that there was an even more powerful monster behind this wave of beasts, and that the ancestor of the Xu family had already left the city and headed for the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range thousands of miles away to try to kill the monster single-handedly.
Therefore, the White Dragon Immortal City was quite empty at this time, with only the city lord Xu Yuan, who was in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, in charge.
It's time!
Ning Daoran took a deep breath, put away the paper man, took the Green Water Turtle, removed his disguise, and returned to White Dragon Fairy City in his original appearance.
…
In the afternoon, the autumn air was clear and the scent of osmanthus wafted from the city gate.
Ning Daoran came floating in, holding the jade talisman of his identity in Bailong Immortal City.
"It turns out to be Senior Ning!"
One of the monks guarding the city looked very familiar. It was Chen Wen whom I had met before. "Recently, the beast tide has repeatedly attacked the city. Senior Ning actually ran away. It's really too dangerous."
"I'm working on a formation that lacks several materials that can't be bought in the city, so I'm going out to try my luck."
Ning Daoran asked, "The beast tide is attacking the city. Is the defense of the Immortal City still okay?"
“No problem at this time.”
Chen Wen said worriedly, "This wave of beasts seems to be a tentative attack. They retreat after a short attack each time. Even the city defense formation has not been activated yet."
"That's best."
Ning Daoran walked into the city and said, "White Dragon Fairy City is the most popular fairy city in Yizhou. I believe the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range must have some concerns."
"That's right."
Chen Wen smiled and bowed: "Farewell, Senior Ning!"
The other many cultivators also bowed one by one, showing full respect to the third-rank formation master and the early Jindan senior.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
…
Inside the city, in the cave.
"Young Master!"
The moment Ning Daoran stepped into the cave, a girl in a white dress fluttered over, her face full of worry: "Young Master was attacked by the Xu family's ancestor outside, how is he, are you injured?"
"The heart was slightly damaged, but it has healed."
Ning Daoran took the Lingpu Cave Heaven from Xiaobai and said, "Lao Lu, Xiao Heizi, Xiaobai, pack the things in the cave into the Lingpu Cave Heaven. Once you are done, we will leave Bailong Immortal City. It is not suitable to stay here for long."
"Um!"
Everyone was busy. They had lived in the cave for so many years and had bought a lot of decorations. Now they all had to be moved into the Lingpu Cave. Fortunately, Big Stupid Deer and Little Blackie were hardworking and it wasn't a big deal for them.
The next day, early morning.
Just as Ning Daoran tied the Lingpu Dongtian around his waist and prepared to leave Bailong Immortal City with his family, there was a sudden "hum" sound, and the entire Bailong Immortal City shook. Then the city defense formation soared into the air, covering the entire Bailong Immortal City from top to bottom.
"What's going on?"
Ning Daoran looked up and asked.
A cultivator from the Immortal City in the air frowned and said, "Master Ning, a fierce beast tide suddenly attacked the city this morning. The city lord ordered the formation to be activated to resist the beast tide, and ordered us to comfort the cultivators in the city. If there is no important matter, there is no need to go out. It is even more dangerous outside now."
I can't get out.
Ning Daoran frowned and nodded at the man.
In the sky, more and more cultivators from the Immortal City were coming and going. Even some Nascent Soul Realm warriors who had a close relationship with Long Zhuojun flew towards the outside of the city on the wind, probably to resist the beast tide.
There is no choice but to stay in the city for a while longer.
…
A few days later.
Loud noises continued to be heard from the south of the city. The entire White Dragon Immortal City was shaking "buzzingly", as if a giant beast was pushing the city up. For a moment, the people in the city were in a panic. Although the monks guarding the city said that everything was fine, everyone could see that the White Dragon Immortal City was really in trouble this time.
The beast tide attacking the Immortal City seemed to be unprecedentedly powerful, enough to shake the third-order intermediate-grade Purple Lightning and Green Frost Formation that protected the Immortal City.
Ning Daoran looked up at the sky.
Almost imperceptible cracks had appeared on the purple and green light curtain covering the sky. It was difficult for ordinary cultivators to see clearly, but Ning Daoran was a third-level formation master and could easily sense that the Purple Lightning and Green Frost Formation had been damaged. If the situation continued, it would probably be broken by the beast tide within two days.
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed and the noise outside the city became louder and louder.
Finally, the people in the city were in panic. Countless monks hid in caves to protect themselves, while the mortals were like ants on a hot pan, wanting to escape. Unfortunately, the fairy city had been closed and no one could get out.
In the afternoon, two foundation-building monks came to the outside of the cave.
"Master Ning, the beast tide continues to attack the city. The defenders in the city have suffered heavy losses. The south wall has been damaged in many places. Even the city defense formation is in danger. The city lord has issued a call for conscription. All human cultivators in the city have an obligation to do so. The two of us have been ordered by the city lord to invite Master Ning to go to the south wall to defend against the enemy and protect our White Dragon Immortal City together!"
Ning Daoran sighed, what was supposed to come finally came.
He stood up and walked out of the cave. Although he had a life-and-death feud with the Xu family, as an immortal cultivator, he could not bear to see the people in the city being devoured by the tide of beasts.
