As the Linghe Chamber of Commerce and various forces busily prepared to defend against the extraterrestrial demonic shadows, the abnormal phenomena around the Lingxu Market became increasingly frequent and intense. At night, eerie black streaks of light frequently streaked across the sky, accompanied by chilling howls, as if countless wronged souls were wailing in the darkness. Some cultivators' dwellings near the mountains began to show signs of inexplicable dark aura erosion; plants and trees withered instantly, leaving only a deathly silence.
Lin Yang sensed the growing urgency of the situation and accelerated his preparations. However, at that moment, the intelligence gathering team brought shocking news: the extraterrestrial demons seemed to have detected the defenses of the various forces in the Spirit Ruins Market. They had changed their strategy of stealthy infiltration and were now gathering their forces to launch a large-scale surprise attack.
Lin Yang immediately convened another meeting with representatives from various factions. The atmosphere inside the meeting room was extremely tense, with a grave expression on everyone's face. Lin Yang said solemnly, "Gentlemen, according to reliable intelligence, the extraterrestrial demons are about to launch a large-scale attack. Although our preparations have made some progress, we still need to race against time to perfect the details."
Zhao Wanbao, the head of Wanbaoge Pavilion, frowned and said, "Time is so tight. Our defensive formations are not yet fully set up, and we haven't distributed enough detection magic items. What should we do?"
The elder of the Spirit Sword Sect gripped his sword hilt and said in a deep voice, "Panic will not help at this time. We must deal with this calmly. First, we should concentrate our efforts on completing the defensive formations in the key areas, and prioritize supplying magical treasures to the joint defense team."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and then reported on their current preparations and the difficulties they faced. Lin Yang listened attentively and quickly made a decision: "The weapon refiners shall suspend the forging of other magical artifacts and focus all their efforts on producing detection artifacts, prioritizing the needs of the defense teams and key defensive points. The alchemists shall continue to refine pills to counteract the dark forces, while also concocting some emergency pills that can quickly enhance combat power. Each faction shall strengthen the defense of its own territory and ensure close coordination with the joint defense system."
After the meeting, representatives from various factions hurriedly returned to convey the spirit of the meeting and intensify preparations. Inside the Linghe Chamber of Commerce, the weapon refiners worked tirelessly, their furnaces burning day and night, striving to create detection artifacts. Meanwhile, the alchemists, their foreheads beaded with sweat, nervously operated their furnaces in the smoke-filled alchemy rooms. The joint defense team's training became even more rigorous; they constantly honed their skills in simulated combat, striving for optimal synergy.
However, the pressure wasn't just from the urgency of preparations. As news of the impending arrival of the demonic shadow spread, ordinary cultivators in the Spirit Ruins Market began to panic. Some timid cultivators even considered packing their bags and leaving, causing some disruption to the market's order. Lin Yang realized that calming people's hearts was equally important. He arranged for members of the merchant guild to circulate throughout the market, reassuring everyone and informing them that all forces were making full preparations and had sufficient capability to resist the extraterrestrial demonic shadow. At the same time, he also set up a temporary command post in the center of the market, demonstrating the power of defensive magical artifacts and elixirs to the cultivators and boost their confidence.
Lin Yang knew that the great battle against the extraterrestrial demons was imminent, and the fate of the Lingxu Market hung by a thread. Not only did he need to complete defensive preparations within the limited time, but he also needed to stabilize market order and unite all forces. With unwavering faith and outstanding leadership, he led the Linghe Chamber of Commerce and various factions to persevere in this turbulent situation, striving to weather the impending storm.
