The wheels of the carriage rumbled. Tao Yu squeezed Fan Hongxi's palm and said to him, "Now that you have touched the threshold of the way of swordsmanship, just keep walking along that thread of understanding."

Hearing this, Fan Hongxi looked down at the right hand that Tao Yu was holding and playing with, thoughtfully.

Why do you want to use the sword in your hand?

For revenge, for protection.

No, there should be an answer that is closer to the essence of the heart...

Tao Yu and the others rushed to the northeast front to continue killing ghost soldiers, while Hua Yuntian came to Jiangyun City alone, a large city guarded only by foundation-building monks.There is a large dense forest outside Jiangyun City, which makes Jiangyun City more natural and hidden.

As soon as Hua Yuntian arrived, the entire Jiangyun City was extremely excited, and specially prepared a feast for Hua Yuntian in the front hall of the City Lord's Mansion.Now leading the defending monks in Jiangyun City is a nine-story foundation-building, muscular monk.

He raised his wine glass to respect Hua Yuntian, and thanked Hua Yuntian again and again: "Thank you, my lord, for being willing to come to Jiangyun City. After the city lord and a few golden core monks left, I have been worrying so much that I can't sleep or eat well... The banquet is rough, and I can't sleep. Please, Young Master Hua, don't take offense."

Hua Yuntian waved his hand: "It's okay, isn't this young master coming soon? Falling Cloud City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if it is threatened by a large army of ghost soldiers, this young master can block the attacking ghost soldiers alone."

The foundation-building cultivators guarding the city were overjoyed, toasted to Hua Yuntian again and again, and complimented him again and again.Hua Yuntian was too lazy to listen to these nonsense, he got up and said: "The matter of the ghost soldiers attacking the city is important, I'll go up to the city wall to have a look first."

As soon as the words fell, a long horn sounded suddenly on the city wall.The big Han monk's face changed, he put down his wine glass with a "snap", and said in a deep voice, "No, there are ghost soldiers coming!"

What?Did he encounter ghost soldiers attacking him just after he arrived?

Hua Yuntian's expression froze, and he immediately took out his gorgeous halberd, strode out of the city lord's mansion, and went straight to the city wall.

Although the foundation-building cultivators on the city wall were in a hurry, they were also in an orderly manner. Under the command, a series of magic symbols and magic weapons attacked the ghost soldiers rushing under the city wall.Hua Yuntian nodded with some satisfaction in his heart, and looked under the city wall, his originally tense mood suddenly relaxed.

Waving weapons under the city wall, there were no more than a hundred ghost soldiers pounced on, howling ghosts and howling wolves, and they fell flat under the tall and thick city wall, barely forming a wall of ghost soldiers.

Hua Yuntian snorted disdainfully, and leaped from the city wall holding the halberd, the halberd was covered with dazzling golden light, and slashed fiercely at the ghost soldiers under the city wall.

A long golden arc slammed down, the air wave rolled, and a ghost soldier was cut down in the blink of an eye.

This ghost soldier was nothing to Hua Yuntian who had fought in the ghost soldier besieged city, and was soon beheaded by him and the Foundation Establishment cultivators who attacked on the city wall.

"Great! This is the first time we have wiped out all the ghost soldiers in this period of time!"

"My lord is too powerful, it really is like the magic needle of Dinghai!"

After beheading all the ghost soldiers, the foundation cultivators of Jiangyun City held a feast in gratitude, but Hua Yuntian rejected the luxury inn courtyard they had prepared, and chose to guard the city wall day and night.

As the only Golden Core cultivator in Jiangyun City, he always felt a sense of urgency in his heart, and this sense of urgency could only be relieved a little when he looked at the sporadic ghost soldiers running outside the city.

More than 20 days passed in a blink of an eye. After Tao Yu and Fan Hongxi wiped out the besieging ghost soldiers in a village and town again, they returned to the city to recuperate in the sunset.

Gu Kui was obviously still excited, dancing in the surprised and fearful eyes of the people in the village and town, and said with a smile: "It's great, killing those ghost soldiers is like killing those disgusting ghosts in Soul Village. Bite off their heads first with bones, and then tear their limbs apart... How refreshing!"

Gu Kui spoke excitedly, and Fan Hongxi beside him murmured, "Qiong Guang, do you feel that the number of ghost soldiers attacking from the outskirts of the city seems to be decreasing..."

Tao Yu said casually: "Indeed, but normally, these cities have been unable to attack for a long time, so they will shift their targets."

Fan Hongxi's footsteps couldn't help but pause, because the ghost soldiers had always shown a lack of consciousness, so they all subconsciously thought that all ghost soldiers were like this.

But if there is really someone behind the scenes manipulating the influence...

He frowned, looked up to the back of the town, and said in a deep voice, "No, I'm afraid Falling Cloud City may be in danger."

For more than 20 days in a row, there were only sporadic ghost soldiers running in the forest outside Jiangyun City. Except for occasionally jumping out of the city to wipe out all the ghost soldiers, Hua Yuntian just sat on the city wall to practice or was in a daze.

And the so-called army of ghost soldiers that might threaten the city of descending clouds was nowhere to be seen.

In Jiangyun City, which was originally rejoiced by his arrival, another voice began to faintly appear.

"There are no ghost soldiers attacking Yunyun City at all, and there are only a few ghost soldiers coming and going... Isn't that young master Hua worrying too much?"

"Hey... Maybe I don't want to fight the enemy, so I found an excuse to hide here..."

"So I'm still afraid of death..."

Hua Yuntian put his hands behind his head and lay down on the hard and cold boulder of the city wall, looking up at the starry sky cut by three cliffs.

He knew all those private comments and contempt. Originally, he thought he would be furious, and thought that his dignity and pride as a Hua family child was absolutely unacceptable, but he was surprisingly calm about it.

Originally, he was still thinking about what could happen to prove his wisdom, but later he thought it would be better if nothing happened.The fact that Falling Cloud City might be in danger was originally his own speculation, and now that nothing happened, he felt relieved.

Hua Yuntian closed his eyes, and calmed down in the cool night wind and the sound of the wind blowing the mountains and forests.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, jumped up with a swish, and looked into the dark mountain forest at night while holding the city wall.

There are so many shadows in the dark mountain forest that it is impossible to see what is inside.Hua Yuntian squinted his eyes slightly, and tried his best to spread his consciousness towards the forest, but he only saw the translucent ghost soldiers wandering blankly in the forest.

... an illusion?

However, that trace of uneasiness still stabbed in his heart, Hua Yuntian frowned, his consciousness swept across the forest in front of Jiangyun City carefully again, and was suddenly startled.

No, the number of ghost soldiers wandering in the forest has increased!

The jade slip flashed across several villages and towns. Fan Hongxi swept the jade slip in his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiang and the others have also noticed that the number of ghost soldiers is decreasing. It seems that some ghost soldiers are wandering in other directions. ..."

The corner of Tao Yu's mouth curled up dangerously: "It seems that someone is indeed doing tricks behind the scenes... Or is it that the commander-in-chief has appeared?"

As soon as Fan Hongxi finished speaking, another jade slip flew in the air and landed in his hand.

He scanned the contents of the jade slip, and said calmly: "Fellow Daoist Hua asked us for help. Now that the number of ghost soldiers here is decreasing, other people can support us. Let's go to the City of Falling Clouds."

Outside Jiangyun City, a large group of ghost soldiers brandishing weapons and screaming gathered under the thick city wall, and more and more ghost soldiers came out of the forest and roared to join the ghost soldiers besieging the city.

But in a short period of time, a large group of densely packed ghost soldiers had already gathered under the city wall of Jiangyun City.

The monks defending the city of Yunyun City had never seen so many ghost soldiers besieging the city, and they all panicked. Talisman seals and magic weapon spiritual power attacks were thrown at the ghost soldiers below indiscriminately, but it had little effect.

Holding the long halberd in his hand, Hua Yuntian roared, "Calm down! Follow the command!"

The roar reverberated on the walls of Jiangyun City, and the panic-stricken monk also subconsciously looked at Hua Yuntian with a calm expression along with other monks.

Hua Yuntian continued to shout loudly: "My young master has already sent out a signal for help, as long as the supporters come to support! Falling Cloud City will be fine!"

Hearing his words, all the monks on the city wall couldn't help but feel hopeful.The big Han monk swallowed hard, tried to calm down, and commanded loudly: "The attack of the talisman is aimed at the layer of ghost soldiers closest to the city wall, and the rest of the attacks follow the talisman..."

The originally chaotic city wall barely restored order, but Hua Yuntian clenched the halberd tightly in his hand, but he was not optimistic about the supporters he said in his heart.

Falling Cloud City was originally located at the rear, and the powerful Jindan monks were basically concentrated on the northeast front. Even if they traveled day and night at the fastest speed, it would take five or six days to count the ghost soldiers blocking the road.And it will take a day or two for the rest of the city guard monks to come to the nearest town...

However, the increasingly depleted reserves of combat supplies in Jiangyun City may only last for a day at most...

Hua Yuntian gritted his teeth and forced himself not to continue thinking about it.

He shouted heavily: "Pay attention to saving spiritual power and talismans!"

After finishing speaking, he threw the wind spirit boat and flew over the heads of the ghost soldiers, holding up the halberd in his hand, and bright golden light continuously condensed on the halberd in his hand.

A moment later, a bright golden light crashed down, and a golden lotus burst into bloom where the golden light fell, spreading and blooming layer by layer, sweeping across countless ghost soldiers under the city wall.

A large area of ​​ghost soldiers was wiped out under the golden light, and a large open space was cleared in an instant.

"If you want to attack Jiangyun City, have you asked me Hua Yuntian!"

The situation in Falling Cloud City was urgent, so Qingsong and the others stayed in the frontline villages and towns to assist in defending the city for the time being, while Fan Hongxi and Gu Hua were led by Tao Yu, and quickly flew towards the direction of Falling Cloud City.

Gu Kui opened her arms, her bone ornaments rattled in the wind, her long hair and jet black skirt fluttered behind her.The rapidly passing scenery under her was blurred into patches of color, and she laughed loudly: "It's so fast!"

Fan Hongxi looked in the direction of Yunyun City calmly, and asked via voice transmission: "Qiong Guang, how long will it take us to reach Yuncheng?"

Tao Yu glanced in the direction of Falling Cloud City, and said, "About a day and a half."

Suddenly, he noticed a familiar person who was riding a somewhat illusory white eagle below and was rushing in the same direction as them.With a simple move, he took the man and the magic weapon up into the air, wrapped them in spiritual power, and flew to Yunyun City together.

Uncontrollably, Ji Youxue was engulfed by a huge spiritual force and flew into the air.She turned pale with shock, and the illusory eagle beneath her body was also twisted into pieces by the huge spiritual power.She looked up in horror, and suddenly said pleasantly: "Senior, Fellow Daoist Fan, it's you!"

Fan Hongxi smiled at her and said, "It will be faster for Qiongguang to take us to Falling Cloud City."

Along the way, Tao Yu picked up Xiang Xingyu and the others he had met, and managed to get them all together.

In Falling Cloud City, there was a chunky foundation-builder cultivator who rolled and crawled up the city wall, and shouted to the big Han cultivator in horror: "It's not good! Those ghost soldiers are attacking the city gate together!"
