Chapter 175 Strengthening the City Defense Formation
Lu Yi smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoists, please don't be polite. Just do it the same as before."
Wang Beifeng and the others had strange expressions when they heard this. Lu Yi said so, but how could they dare to do that? Everyone smiled, and Wang Beifeng said, "Thanks to Fellow Daoist Lu just now, otherwise, I'm afraid we would all die here."
"Yes, thank you, Brother Lu." The monks expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
Lu Yi smiled: "Since you are all traveling together, I will naturally not stand by and watch you die. I also hope to follow you to find the senior brothers and sisters of Baiyun Sect."
Hearing this, many monks smiled.
Wang Beifeng said, "Since Fellow Daoist Lu said so, shall we continue to look for the disciples of Baiyun Sect?"
Lu Yi shook his head and said, "I just found out some information from the Nascent Souls of those Black Water Dragons."
Lu Yi spread the news that the Black Water Dragon planned to secretly send strong men to attack Dongming City.
This made Wang Beifeng and others change their expressions.
"No wonder there are so many powerful sea clan members in this area. This place is close to the territory of the Eastern Region Allied Forces. It is unreasonable for so many Void Cultivators to appear here."
"I wonder if Dongming City has received the news? If not, it would be very dangerous if it is besieged by a large number of sea cultivators!"
Many monks were somewhat worried.
This is a major matter concerning the battlefield, and even they dare not be careless.
Lu Yi said, "So, I plan to take the news to Dongming City. If you fellow Taoists don't want to go, just leave on your own."
Hearing this, many cultivators fell silent. After looking at each other, Wang Beifeng said seriously, "Of course, it's with Fellow Daoist Lu!"
Lin Ming also had a serious expression on his face: "This matter concerns the territory of the Eastern Region, so I will go with Fellow Daoist Lu!"
Lu Yi glanced at Lin Ming. From the time he dealt with the four Nascent Soul Sea Creatures until now, Lu Yi discovered that Lin Ming was still a bit angry.
"We are also going to Dongming City with Fellow Daoist Lu. If we bring the information back now, it will be a great contribution if no other channels know this news!" Lin Yue's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
The other cultivators were originally a little hesitant. After all, according to Lu Yi's idea, Dongming City might become a battlefield, which would be somewhat dangerous.
After hearing Lin Yue's words, the other cultivators' eyes lit up and they all expressed their desire to go together.
Needless to say, Yun Xi would go wherever Lu Yi went.
"In that case, let's set off." Lu Yi smiled, then glanced at the mortal beside him who was in awe, and said, "It's a good opportunity to take them to the ancient city, which will be safer."
All the mortals hurriedly said in awe: "Thank you, Immortal Master!"
Lu Yi was not familiar with this area, and he was not very clear about the location of Dongming City. Fortunately, Wang Beifeng and others had some understanding of this place, and they took Lu Yi and Yun Xi and flew towards Dongming City.
Half a day later, Lu Yi and his group saw Dongming City.
It was a huge ancient city. Above the city there were mysterious formations, emitting an extremely strong pressure. There were many monks patrolling in the sky.
These monks are all soldiers of the Eastern Region Allied Forces.
There were also many monks coming in and out of the city gate.
Lu Yi and his group came in a large group, with quite a few people among them, some of whom were very eye-catching. Many people looked over and were puzzled.
Lu Yi and his group didn't take it seriously and soon arrived at the city gate.
Lu Yi discovered that there was a mirror hanging above the city gate. The mirror was flashing with a faint light, illuminating the monks coming in and out.
Lu Yi learned from Wang Beifeng's introduction on the road that this was a magic weapon for detecting the art of change, so as to prevent the sea cultivators from infiltrating.
However, this can only prevent the sea people. Some human cultivators may collude with the sea people and become traitors. Such cultivators are difficult to detect.
There are also teams of powerful allied forces guarding the city gates.
Lu Yi took a quick look and found that there were actually two Dongxu monks.
Monk Dongxu is the most powerful monk among all the powerful ones, and he is actually guarding the city gate here. It can be seen that Dongming City is still very important.
Lu Yi and his group walked into the city gate.
After entering the city, Lu Yi found that it was a bit solemn, but compared with other ancient cities, it was still extremely prosperous.
All the shops along the street were open, and monks and mortals were walking on the street, making it extremely lively.
However, the mortals were fine, but the expressions of the monks were mostly solemn. They came to the ancient city just to rest, as they had been fighting outside for a long time and were inevitably tired.
Lu Yi thought for a while, then took out some spirit stones and handed them to the old man who had been tortured by the sea cultivators.
Before, Yun Xi had used the power of nature to heal the old man's injuries.
"Take these spirit stones, exchange them for some silver and money, and live a good life in the city." Lu Yi said with a kind smile.
This made the eyes of all the mortals red, and the old man in the lead was trembling and wanted to kneel down to Lu Yi, but Lu Yi raised his hand to stop him.
"Just live a good life in the future." Lu Yi smiled.
"Good! Good! Thank you, Master!" The old man's eyes were filled with tears, and the other mortals also had red eyes.
They bowed deeply to Lu Yi, then bowed to Wang Beifeng and others before turning around and leaving.
Watching the mortals turn around and leave, Wang Beifeng and others glanced at Lu Yi.
Wang Beifeng smiled and said, "Daoyou Lu is so kind and righteous that he can't bear to give up even mortals."
Lu Yi smiled and said, "It's just a small favor. I'll help if I can."
For Lu Yi, it was not difficult to bring these mortals to Dongming City. Why should he watch them die outside? "Let's go and find the mayor of Dongming City and tell him about the news of the sea clan."
Hearing Lu Yi's words, Wang Beifeng and others nodded.
They asked for directions casually and soon found the City Lord's Mansion.
There were cultivators guarding outside the City Lord's Mansion. When they saw Lu Yi and his group, they immediately frowned and stopped them.
"Who are you? What are you doing in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Lu Yi took a look at the attire of the two monks and his expression looked a little strange. They were actually monks from Taiyi Holy Land.
The major node ancient cities and important strategic fortresses are all guarded by the holy places of the immortal sects in the Eastern Region, as well as the monks of various major sects with ancestors who have transcended the tribulation.
They are the main organizers and leaders of the Eastern Region Coalition.
Lu Yi was originally wondering who would be the person in charge of Dongming City, but he didn't expect that it was someone from Taiyi Holy Land.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "I am Lu Yi, and I have something important to discuss with the Lord of Dongming City."
Hearing this, the two monks were stunned and looked a little strange.
They looked at Lu Yi with astonishment on their faces: "Lu Yi? Lu Yi from Qingzhou?!"
Lu Yi was originally a genius in the art of formations, and his attainments in the art of formations were extremely astonishing. Even the powerful people in the Taiyi Holy Land were amazed and some even wanted to invite Lu Yi to join their sect.
It was a pity that Lu Yi did not join. Even so, the cultivators in Taiyi Holy Land had all heard of Lu Yi's name, and it could even be said that he was a household name.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "That's right."
The two monks were shocked. One of the young men said, "Although I have never seen Lu Yi in person, I have seen his video. Lu Yi is very handsome. He should not be like you, right?"
Lu Yi smiled, and then a mysterious formation appeared, causing the two cultivators from Taiyi Holy Land to open their eyes wide.
"This is... a combined formation?!"
"The Void Condensation Formation can actually create a combined formation so easily! Are you really Lu Yi?!"
The two cultivators from the Taiyi Holy Land exclaimed in amazement. Such attainments in the way of formations were rarely possessed by even the powerful cultivators from the Taiyi Holy Land. This dispelled most of the doubts the two cultivators had about Lu Yi.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Well, as for the appearance, it was just a little bit of a transformation."
Lu Yi's face changed, but soon returned to its original appearance.
After seeing Lu Yi's true appearance, the remaining doubts in the two monks' hearts almost disappeared.
"It's really Fellow Daoist Lu Yi. I didn't expect you to come to the Sea Clan battlefield. Do you have something to talk to the City Lord about? Come in with me. The City Lord is Elder Lin Yunfeng from my Taiyi Holy Land. He should be very happy to see you."
A disciple from Taiyi Holy Land was very happy and expressed his desire to take Lu Yi and his party into the City Lord's Mansion.
Wang Beifeng and others were surprised to see that even the disciples of the Immortal Sect were so enthusiastic towards Lu Yi. Lu Yi's reputation was even greater than they had imagined.
Afterwards, Lu Yi followed a disciple from Taiyi Holy Land into the City Lord's Mansion. The disciple asked Lu Yi and his party to wait in the hall and went to find the City Lord, Elder Lin Yunfeng.
Not long after, an old man with white hair and beard walked in. When he saw Lu Yi, a gentle smile appeared on his face: "I have heard that young friend Lu Yi has an extraordinary talent in formation, but I have never seen him. I didn't expect to see him here. Welcome, welcome."
A group of cultivators stood up, and Lu Yi bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Lin Yunfeng."
Wang Beifeng and the others also saluted nervously. This person was a great master in the Mahayana realm! "No need to be polite." Perhaps because of Lu Yi, Lin Yunfeng had a gentle expression and waved his hand.
He looked at Lu Yi and asked, "By the way, you said you had something important to talk to me about? What is it?"
"It's like this. We encountered a group of powerful sea clan warriors on the way here. After killing a few of them, we got the news that a team of sea clan cultivators were secretly approaching Dongming City and were planning to besiege Dongming City, so we rushed here to inform you." Lu Yi briefly explained what happened.
Hearing this, Lin Yunfeng's expression changed slightly, and he frowned and asked, "The sea clan cultivators are planning to attack Dongming City?"
"Yes, according to what I understand, the team is led by four great Mahayana masters, and there are many other strong men. I am not sure whether there is an ancestor who has transcended the tribulation behind them." This was the information Lu Yi obtained through soul searching.
Hearing this, Lin Yunfeng's face became a little solemn: "Four great Mahayana masters... they come with bad intentions."
"Can Dongming City hold on?" Lu Yi asked worriedly.
Lin Yunfeng thought for a moment and said, "Dongming City is an important stronghold in this area. The coalition spent a lot of resources to carve out the city defense formation. It can resist Mahayana cultivators... But we have been fighting with the sea tribe for decades, and the sea tribe is also very clear about the strength of the formation. Since they dare to come, it means that they may have a way to break the formation..."
These words made Lu Yi and his group a little worried.
"What if the formation is broken?" Yun Xi asked.
Lin Yunfeng glanced at Yun Xi and said solemnly, "The battle line in the Eastern Region is very long and the battlefield is huge. Even though the coalition forces are amazingly powerful and have many Mahayana cultivators, they still need to defend each stronghold. It is not enough to disperse. I am the only Mahayana cultivator in the entire Dongming City. If I face four Mahayana cultivators, I am afraid it will be difficult."
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and the expressions of Lu Yi and others changed slightly.
How many of those who can cultivate to the Mahayana realm are weak? They are all powerful beings who have mastered the domain. In the entire Tianming, they are all genius-level figures. They must have been influential figures in their youth.
When one reaches the Mahayana realm, the gap between each realm becomes more and more obvious, and it becomes extremely difficult to fight against opponents of higher levels.
Even though Lin Yunfeng is a formation cultivator who can set up a large formation in advance and engage in positional warfare, he may not be able to deal with four cultivators of the same level.
Lin Yunfeng's eyes flickered, and he said, "If I set up a formation in advance, I might be able to hold them back, but... they knew there was a formation to protect the city, but they still dared to come over. Maybe they have treasures that target the formation. If the formation I set up is also broken by then, the situation may not be optimistic."
After hearing this, Lu Yi and his group became even more silent.
Wang Beifeng and others' faces changed.
“In this case, wouldn’t Dongming City be very dangerous?!” Lin Yue said nervously.
Lin Yunfeng thought for a moment, then said, "Although the Mahayana cultivators in the coalition are stretched to the limit, I can also ask for help from a few friends. It just takes some time for them to come. I hope they can make it in time."
When Lin Yunfeng thought of this, he said urgently: "Friend Lu Yi, I need to go and see the situation of the sect protection formation. Your formation skills are very strong, come with me to take a look."
Lu Yi thought of something, and his expression changed slightly: "Senior, are you worried that there will be a traitor who will destroy the sect protection formation from within?"
Lin Yunfeng nodded with a gloomy expression: "I am indeed worried. Similar things have happened before."
Lu Yi also nodded in understanding: "Is it about Di Luanshan?"
Even Lu Yi had heard about the matter of Disuan Mountain when he was in Baiyun Sect before.
Like Dongming City, it was also a coalition stronghold. It was only breached because a traitor appeared among the human cultivators, who destroyed the mountain protection formation from within.
The battle was extremely brutal. Almost all the Eastern Region cultivators in Dishuan Mountain were wiped out. Even the great Mahayana masters who were guarding the area at that time could not escape. This caused a sensation in the entire Eastern Region.
This also allowed the Eastern Region Coalition to impose the most brutal punishment on traitors. Even so, people's hearts were always fickle, and various situations led to the traitors never being eradicated.
Lin Yunfeng nodded: "Yes."
Lu Yi thought about it and said, "No problem, I'll go with you."
Lin Yunfeng glanced at Wang Beifeng and others behind Lu Yi and said, "The city defense formation is very important, so they can't go."
Wang Beifeng and others quickly said, "Don't worry, senior, we won't get close."
"Well, the information sent this time is extremely valuable. You have made great contributions. When this matter is over, I will report it and reward you with military merits."
This made Wang Beifeng and others' eyes sparkle, and then their expressions became bitter.
The situation this time seems very bad and they may not be able to escape alive.
"Now, let me have someone take you to have some rest. You must be tired after coming all the way here to deliver the message." Lin Yunfeng said.
Wang Beifeng and others naturally had no objection.
Lu Yi sent a message to Yun Xi, asking her to go and rest with him.
After all, the identity of the immortal body is somewhat sensitive, so it is better not to expose it if possible.
Yun Xi naturally listened to Lu Yi and didn't say much.
Afterwards, Lin Yunfeng took Lu Yi to a secret room deep in the City Lord's Mansion.
There stands a huge stone containing mysterious starlight, with dense array patterns engraved on it, emitting an extremely strong and oppressive aura.
Next to the boulder, there were two old men sitting cross-legged.
The auras of these two old men are extremely profound, and they are both powerful beings in the fusion realm.
After seeing Lin Yunfeng, the two old men nodded slightly. When they saw Lu Yi, they were stunned and a little surprised.
Then an old man raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Young friend Lu Yi? I didn't expect you to come to Dongming City."
Lu Yi found the old man familiar, and then suddenly remembered where he seemed to have seen him before.
Back then, in the ruins of the Immortal Sword Sect, he was among the powerful men of the Taiyi Holy Land.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Senior, it's been a long time since we last met."
"Elder Lin, what's going on?" another great master asked with some confusion.
Lin Yunfeng had a serious expression and said, "Friend Lu Yi brought news that the sea tribe has made unusual moves and is planning to besiege Dongming City. Just in case, I came to see the center of the formation. Friend Lu Yi came with me."
When the two powerful beings in their combined form heard this, their expressions changed slightly and became serious.
"We must guard the core of the formation and never let anything go wrong!" The two powerful men nodded.
Lin Yunfeng also nodded slightly, then looked at Lu Yi and said, "Friend Lu Yi's formation realm was already very high back then. Now that so much time has passed, I'm afraid it has improved again. Come check with me to see if there is any problem with the formation."
Lu Yi nodded, looking at the dense array patterns on the array eye, and said in surprise: "Such a large starlight stone is really a big deal, and the array patterns are also quite profound..."
Lin Yunfeng smiled slightly: "This formation was personally carved by an ancestor of my sect who had transcended the tribulation."
Hearing this, Lu Yi was shocked, and then he suddenly realized that it was no wonder that even with his current level of formation, he felt that this formation was somewhat profound.
You know, Lu Yi can already deduce the great formation of the Mahayana realm by himself, and his attainments in the art of formation have almost reached the limit of the mortal world.
One can imagine how powerful this formation is.
If it was carved by the ancestor Dujie himself, then it would be normal.
Just think about the tribulation formation practitioners in Taiyi Holy Land and you will know how terrifying their attainments in the art of formations are.
Lu Yi walked around the Starlight Stone, examined it carefully, and then shook his head: "No problem."
Lin Yunfeng was also checking carefully. Hearing this, he nodded slightly and smiled: "I didn't find any problems either. It seems that there is no problem with the formation. In this case, let's leave."
At this time, Lu Yi said: "Senior, please wait a moment. I have a way to strengthen the city defense formation."
Hearing this, Lin Yunfeng and the two powerful ones were stunned, their eyes widened in astonishment.
