Chen Dabing looked around but didn't see the beautiful girl.
"Nan Huanuo went back to Piaomiao City. He's been gone for several days. Although the journey was long, he's almost back."
Before he finished speaking, Nan Huanuo's voice was heard outside the door.
"Sir, it's bad. Our Piaomiao City has been attacked, and our master and fellow apprentice sisters are all missing." The voice came before the Nanhuanuo people arrived.
Then a fragrant breeze blew into the air, and a beautiful girl appeared before his eyes, her face full of anxiety.
Chen Dabing raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is so bold as to attack my city and touch my women?"
Nan Huanuo said, "It's the Prince of Donglin County. I heard the news on my way back. It said that after the Prince of Donglin County suffered a loss in Yuexi County, he turned around and went to Anxi County, formed a sworn brotherhood with the Prince of Anxi County, and then launched a civil war in Zhao, attacking the nine cities of Yuexi County on multiple fronts."
"It seems that the Emperor's Crisis has broken out. The three million spirit stones from Prince Yuexi were not given away for nothing. The days of leisure are coming to an end."
Chen Dadan asked, "Did you witness the capture of Piaomiao City with your own eyes?"
Nan Huanuo said, "I didn't catch up with the battle. When I returned to Piaomiao City, I saw that the flag on the city wall had changed. I sneaked into the city and found that the City Lord's Mansion was heavily guarded. There were people everywhere I didn't recognize. I didn't dare to act rashly. I asked a beggar and he said that Piaomiao City had been captured the day before, the Red Clothes Sect living in the City Lord's Mansion had been dispersed, and the Fairy Nishang was nowhere to be found. Then I came back to tell you the news."
Chen Dabing touched her forehead and said, "You know not to act rashly at this time. You deserve praise."
Nan Huanuo said, "I'm not stupid. I only dare to act recklessly when the master is by my side, because I know that the master is a banished immortal who has come down to earth and is invincible in the world."
Chen Dabing chuckled and said, "It's been several days of traveling back and forth. You must be exhausted! Let's rest for a while, and then we'll go back and take back Piaomiao City."
Nan Huanuo was indeed exhausted. She sat next to Chen Dadan, snuggled in his arms, and said, "I'm worried about Master and my senior and junior sisters."
Chen Dadan hugged her and said, "Since the news you received is that they are missing, not killed or captured, then they are safe. I promise you that if your master and your sisters and brothers are hurt in the slightest, I will repay the Duke of Donglin tenfold."
Nan Huanuo's mood calmed down a lot, and he said, "As long as you are here, I don't worry about anything."
Chen Dabing pinched her nose and said, "Take a rest and have some sleep. We'll set off when you wake up."
Nan Huanuo said: "Then you have to hold me while sleeping."
Chen Dadan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll hold you while you sleep. I'll sing you a lullaby. Go to sleep quickly, little darling..."
…
Immortal cultivators generally don't need to sleep, but for some reason, Nan Huanuo slept until dawn. When she woke up, she found that her husband was still holding her. He was also asleep, with a pair of big hands placed dishonestly in places where they shouldn't be.
Her face turned red and she gently took the big hand away.
However, those big hands seemed to be spring-loaded; as soon as they were removed, they would return to their original position. This made her feel embarrassed and annoyed, but she couldn't blame her husband; he was still sleeping! All her actions were unconscious.
I looked up and saw that the gentleman's eyes were indeed closed, but his hands were moving, winding and wandering. Could he be sleepwalking?
Suddenly, Chen Dadan's eyes opened and he said one word in English: "Good morning, you."
Nan Huanuo said sternly, "Sir, I don't allow you to call yourself a dog."
Chen Dabing was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and smiled, "Goodmo, I'm not being touched by a dog, it's my pronunciation that's not standard. Have you had a good sleep? Let's go, we'll set off immediately."
The two flew into the air with their swords, and suddenly a voice came from the Tianya Haijiao City: "Level 1 wartime alert, the city defense formation is activated, fellow Taoists, please do not directly collide."
The farmhouse where they were staying was located outside the city. Tianya Haijiao City was originally open, but now it was facing a great enemy and even the city defense formation was activated.
Chen Dadan said, "It seems that the Emperor's Crisis has even affected Qi. The seven human nations will be in turmoil."
Nan Huanuo said, "I don't care what turmoil happens. I just want my master and my sisters and brothers to be safe."
Chen Dadan nodded and said, "Yes, no matter how turbulent the world is, I just want to protect the people around me."
The flight to Piaomiao City took several days. We passed many cities along the way, all of which were on level one alert. We even witnessed with our own eyes how cities were attacked in this world.
The city walls are of no use at all, and cultivators can easily fly over them. The city defense formation is the city defense facility. Once activated, an egg-shaped light curtain will appear to cover the city. This light curtain has extremely strong defense, and people can leave but not enter.
The light curtain not only prevents foreign enemies from entering, but also resists magical attacks, while the defenders inside are not restricted from casting spells. This makes it easy to defend and difficult to attack. The attackers must first break the city defense formation before they can fight with the defenders.
What Chen Dabing saw was a group of people outside the city madly attacking the light curtain, while the defenders inside let go and attacked this group of people with all their strength, causing casualties.
Whether or not the city can be captured depends on whether the attackers can withstand casualties and be the first to break the city defense formation.
Chen Dabing and Nan Huanuo watched from a distance for a long time. Chen Dabing saw something and said, "Why don't the attackers build some catapults? Or maybe some cannonballs to attack the city from a distance?"
Nan Huanuo said: "Ordinary siege equipment cannot cause damage to the light curtain."
Chen Dabing slapped his forehead, thinking that his modern knowledge could guide the war. It seems that he thought too much. This was a war between cultivators, and many settings were not based on physics.
In this world, physics does not exist.
Because they were in a hurry to get on with their journey, the two of them didn't continue watching. They didn't know who would win or lose in this siege. Chen Dadan said, "It seems that retaking Piaomiao City is not an easy task."
Nan Huanuo said, "Prince Yuexi will not sit idly by. She has a personal guard of 500 Foundation Establishment masters under her command. The county city also has a city defense army composed of tens of thousands of Qi training cultivators stationed there. This army may be on its way to Piaomiao City."
Chen Dabao said, "It seems that being a prince is not that easy. I have to work hard just to feed thirteen little mouths, but she feeds more than ten thousand people."
…
There was no conversation along the way. When they arrived at Piaomiao City, they found that it was heavily guarded. The royal flag of Donglin County was placed on the top of the city wall, and there were many foundation-building masters patrolling.
"Stop, this city is under martial law, no immortal cultivators are allowed to enter." A group of people flew out of Piaomiao City and intercepted the two men.
