A dense crowd of cultivators and mortals had already gathered beside the wall of Taotie Beast City. They looked outside the city with expressions of shock frozen on their faces.
Not long after, a long rainbow flew out of the Suzaku Tower and arrived at the wall of Taotie Beast City. The light of the long rainbow dissipated and turned into the figure of Grandma Suzaku.
As soon as she stopped, she looked outside and her expression immediately became gloomy.
However, a large number of monsters were seen attacking the Taotie Beast City from all directions. Among the monsters, there were six monsters with extremely powerful auras, which enveloped the sky above the Taotie Beast City, giving off a sense of oppression.
Those were six Nascent Soul stage monsters.
"City Lord!"
"Great, the city lord is here. As long as the city lord takes action, these monsters will be nothing to worry about!" The monks in the city were excited when they saw Grandma Suzaku appear.
In their memory, Grandma Suzaku had never been defeated in her life. She guarded the city alone and was an unrivaled strongman who dominated the area.
The cheers came one after another.
Grandma Suzaku's long skirt fluttered as she stood in the air. Although her face was gloomy, she exuded a charming aura.
Her name is Grandma Suzaku. In fact, she has only been practicing for more than 700 years, but she still looks young and has no signs of aging. This name is just used to suppress the ignorant and villain, so she was named like this.
"Why don't they attack immediately? What are they waiting for?" Grandma Suzaku glanced at the groups of monsters outside the city and found that although they were irritable and roared from time to time, they always stayed where they were and did not go crazy and attack the city walls.
So, Grandma Suzaku's gaze fell on the six Nascent Soul monsters.
Suddenly, a human figure appeared from above the head of a monster as broad as a whale, as if it had just stood up from sitting cross-legged, and walked out.
Seeing that man's appearance, Grandma Suzaku's pupils suddenly shrank, revealing a strong sense of shock: "It's him!!"
"Fellow Daoist, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you doing well?" Xue Kong smiled slightly and looked at Grandma Zhuque indifferently.
His appearance and the sound of his voice were extremely conspicuous on this battlefield.
At this moment, not only did Grandma Suzaku notice him, but the cultivators and mortals guarding the city wall were also drawn to him, with shock and confusion written on their faces.
"It's him! The Nascent Soul cultivator who fought the City Lord that night, he's still alive!"
"I heard from the City Lord that this person is only in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. How could he survive under the City Lord's Suzaku Fire? And now, what does he want to do!?"
"These monsters didn't attack him. He was even able to stand on top of the Nascent Soul monster. What is his relationship with these monsters?!"
The monks and mortals were all shocked, with horror in their eyes, unable to believe what they saw.
"I have witnessed your magic that night, and I have come here today to return the gift. I hope you like this generous gift from me, Xue." Xue Kong remained calm and smiled faintly.
As his voice fell, the monsters around him roared together, the sound shook the sky and echoed in all directions, making the people on the city wall feel numb.
At this moment, it seemed as if this group of monsters were obeying Xue Kong's orders.
"You are underestimating me by trying to break the Suzaku Formation with just these early and middle Nascent Soul stage monsters. I have guarded this city for hundreds of years, and the Suzaku Formation has never been breached."
Grandma Suzaku's gloomy expression faded slightly, and she sneered, "If you are sure, come and give it a try."
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly made hand seals with her hands. As one seal after another appeared, the Vermillion Bird Formation outside the Taotie Beast City began to rumble and form a fiery red light curtain that enveloped the Taotie Beast City.
Originally, when the Suzaku Formation was not fully activated, it only had a certain degree of defensive power. But now with her personally in charge, the power of the formation was fully displayed.
At the same time, a warm feeling emanated from the Suzaku formation, which seemed to heat the surrounding air.
Seeing this scene, the monks and mortals in the city cheered excitedly.
"With the Vermillion Bird Formation protecting us, there's no need to worry!"
"That's right, even if you are at the late Nascent Soul stage, it will take more than a day or two to break through this formation. It's impossible to break through with just these monsters."
"As long as I can't get out, I can watch these monsters in the array helpless and furious. Thinking about it this way, it's quite interesting."
"Alas, what a pity! This person, a Yuanying cultivator of our human race, colluded with the demon race and led the demon beasts to attack us. Such a traitor, I wish I could eat his flesh and drink his blood to relieve the anger in my heart."
There was an uproar. Some people were full of confidence in the Suzaku Formation, some were mocking Xue Kong and the monsters, and there was even more abuse and hatred towards Xue Kong, believing that he had betrayed the human race.
Xue Kong turned a deaf ear to all these things. He stared at the powerful Suzaku Formation. Even though he had copied it several times a few days ago, he still had not fully understood it.
It is indeed not easy to break through this formation.
But he didn't panic at all. He smiled slightly and murmured, "Today, I used all the humans in Taotie Beast City as bait to lure out these six Nascent Soul demon beasts, hundreds of Core Formation demon beasts, and countless small demons. How could they be stopped by this Vermillion Bird formation?"
"Fellow Daoist, look who this person is." Xue Kong spoke loudly, patted the beast-raising bag, and took out a human figure from it.
This person was weak and limp, and was held in Xue Kong's hands, whose appearance was revealed to everyone in Taotie Beast City.
"He Gui! Isn't that person He Gui?"
"No wonder I couldn't find him. It turns out he was captured by this guy!" The middle-aged man who had been scolded by Grandma Zhuque felt a pang in his heart and felt that something was wrong.
He raised his head and looked at Grandma Suzaku, and saw that her face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip out of it. She was forcibly suppressing her anger, and even her body was shaking uncontrollably.
He Gui was a child picked up by Grandma Zhuque from outside and raised by her personally. Even though he is not her biological son, he is like her biological son.
But now it fell into the hands of the cultivator outside, which made Grandma Zhuque lose her balance even though she had practiced for hundreds of years, and she couldn't help getting excited.
"What exactly do you want, sir?" Grandma Suzaku gritted her teeth and stared at Xue Kong with resentment.
"Fully open the Suzaku formation." Xue Kong said calmly.
"That's impossible!" Grandma Suzaku immediately refused.
Xue Kong's expression remained unchanged, and without further ado, he gently threw He Gui forward. Next to his ears came the sharp cry of Grandma Zhuque: "Junior! How dare you!"
But as soon as her voice rang in Xue Kong's ears, He Gui, who was limp all over, was thrown out and fell to the ground.
He Gui, whose cultivation level has dropped, would be smashed to pieces if he fell from such a height and hit the ground hard.
Grandma Suzaku's eyes immediately turned red, and she stepped out of the Suzaku formation and rushed to the rescue.
But the moment she stepped out of the Suzaku Formation, a demon beast in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul immediately moved and flew straight towards her.
A sharp scream echoed through the sky and in the blink of an eye it was approaching Grandma Suzaku, stopping her in her tracks.
"Evil beast, get out of here!" Grandma Suzaku waved her sleeves, and the Suzaku fire spread out.
