Countless demons appeared in the wilderness on the edge of the northern city.
The moon that emerged from the clouds cast a clear light, revealing a dark mass of demons, which was extremely shocking.
The monks of the Huanling Sect, who were supposed to be fighting against the demons and were irreconcilable with them, were now standing silently on both sides of the city gate, like guards welcoming the return of the king, respectful and fanatical.
So many demons entered from the north gate, and yet there was no sound.
But the number of demons was too large and the situation was too huge, so it was impossible to hide it from everyone.
Not long after, a monk from Longcheng Pass who happened to pass by the north city discovered this scene.
He was shocked and frightened, and even rubbed his eyes for the first time, suspecting that he was dreaming.
Then he took another careful look and the monk from Longchengguan was horrified to find that the demon army had spread from the street to the north gate, and then from the north gate to the outside of the wilderness, and he could not see the end at all.
The next moment, he opened his mouth wide, as if he was about to scream.
whoosh!
At this moment, a silver light streaked across the long night and shot straight into the monk's forehead.
His open lips trembled suddenly, then closed weakly, his eyes turned deathly white, and the whites covered the black pupils.
Then, his body trembled, and he fell backwards weakly, falling straight to the ground.
The person who attacked was a demon with strange silver lines all over his face.
He looked at the monk from Longcheng Pass who was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud. There was no burning murderous intent, no disdain, no sarcasm in his dark golden eyes, only indifference that was cold to the bone.
He touched the silver lines on his face, raised his head, looked towards the interior of Longcheng Pass, which stood on the border and kept the demons out for 20,000 years, and sneered.
Most people believe that if the demons want to break through the human race’s large city gates and enter the human domain, they will have to fight for at least a thousand years and pay an unimaginable price.
Even the demons have the same consensus.
Except for their inner demon clan...
They never think like that.
The strongest city gates are often breached from the inside.
So they have been planning for so many years and have finally achieved today's victory over the city without bloodshed.
However...breaking into the city is just the beginning.
He glanced at the distant building again, and there was no change in expression on his face covered with silver lines. He just waved back.
"Demon Lord Dongqi." The cultivator from Huanling Sect who was standing quietly nearby took out a map of the interior of Longcheng Pass and presented it.
The demon cultivator known as the Demon Lord Dongqi looked carefully at the layout and defense measures of Longcheng Pass drawn on the map, remaining silent.
The reason why they were able to enter Longcheng Pass so smoothly without encountering any obstruction was naturally due to the Huanling Sect.
However, there is not only the Huanling Sect within Longcheng Pass, there are also cultivators from other major sects in the Zhongling Domain, and even some independent cultivators.
If they don't kill these people, the demons won't be able to truly control Longcheng Pass, they won't be able to march their army into the Central Spirit Realm, and they won't be able to seize souls.
Demon Lord Dongqi frowned slightly, thinking of the bloody massacre in Chang'an not long ago, the Zhishou Tower that was taken over by the master of Shuiyue Temple, and the many cultivators from the underworld who were caught.
If it weren't for these things, they were confident that they could be more thoroughly prepared and make this "soul-stealing" battle more perfect.
However, victory will eventually belong to them, and no one can stop them.
After completely killing all other cultivators in Longcheng Pass tonight, this pass, which has blocked the demon race for ten thousand years and is regarded as a barrier by the human race, will become a bridgehead for their inner demon clan to conquer the Central Spirit Realm.
What's there to be dissatisfied about?
Demon Lord Dongqi looked at Longcheng Pass, which was shrouded in the shadows by the night, and at the scattered buildings under the moonlight. He then looked back at the large number of demon cultivators he brought with him and the cultivators of Huanling Sect who were waiting for his orders. The corners of his lips curled up slightly in a satisfied smile.
Finally, he thought it through and gave the order.
Soon, the demon cultivators quickly dispersed along the scattered streets and went in all directions of Longcheng Pass.
…
Southeast of Longcheng Pass is where several top sects are headquartered.
The Huanling Sect is powerful and is the Taoist sect in the Central Spiritual Realm, so there is only one sect, guarding the north and west city walls.
In addition, the east wall of Longcheng Pass is jointly guarded by the four top sects in Zhonglingyu.
As for the last southern city wall, it faces the central spiritual realm.
It is impossible for the enemy to come from the Central Spirit Realm, so there is obviously no need to spend too much manpower here.
Therefore, there is only one sect guarding the southern city wall, namely the strongest sword-cultivating sect in the Central Spiritual Realm, the Southern Sword Pavilion.
During this period, because the Heart Demon Clan was so active, even on the south city wall, there were many figures.
Chang Gu Jianzhu, the deputy leader of Nanjian Pavilion, stood on the city wall.
He glanced in the direction of the north city wall, whose outline he could not see, and rubbed his brows. He felt extremely depressed, and his eyelids were twitching, as if something ominous was about to happen.
…
In the most central location of Longcheng Pass, there are four palaces that are shrouded in mist all year round.
The four palaces are named after four spirits: Suzaku Palace, Xuanwu Palace, Qinglong Palace and Baihu Palace.
The masters of the palace are four monks at the Venerable Realm from the Huanling Sect.
At this moment, three of the four monks in the Venerable Realm were gathered in the Qinglong Palace.
The three of them all put their hands behind their backs, staring at the map of the Central Spiritual Realm that was made of mist and was constantly floating in front of them. Their eyes were solemn and focused, as if they were thinking about something.
The three monks at the Venerable Realm were all wearing golden Huanling Sect clothing, but the patterns embroidered on their clothes were different.
The old man on the left has his robe embroidered with the image of the Vermillion Bird burning the sky.
The middle-aged male cultivator in the middle has his robe embroidered with the image of a black tortoise holding up the sky.
The one on the far right is also an old man, and the pattern embroidered on his robe is a roaring white tiger.
The Red Bird dominates, the Black Tortoise dominates, and the White Tiger dominates.
These are the titles of these three monks in the realm of honor.
After a long time, the eyes of the Suzaku Lord finally showed a slight change. Without turning his head, he said calmly: "Dongqi came in?"
The Xuanwu Lord beside him smiled and said, "Here I come."
"Now they are ready and are just waiting for the final order." The Xuanwu Lord said again.
"The longer the night, the more trouble there is. Let's act as soon as possible," said the Lord of Vermillion Bird. "As for the other three monks in the Honored Title Realm, they will be handed over to us."
"After all, they are monks at the Venerable Realm. Even if we crush them, I don't think we will be able to defeat them without bloodshed."
"The initial sacrifice is always inevitable." The White Tiger Lord said indifferently.
"Then notify everyone and get started." The Xuanwu Lord nodded.
Soon after his voice fell, a ferocious monster , circled high into the sky, and let out a sharp cry.
The sound was so harsh that it instantly spread throughout the vast Longcheng Pass, and all the cultivators in Longcheng Pass could hear it.
The moment the monks from Longcheng Pass heard the shrill cry, they subconsciously raised their heads and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Then, a shadow that kept growing larger was reflected in their eyes.
That is... the demon clan!
…
The guarding formation of Longcheng Pass is named Mingyue.
This formation was set up by Xia Daozu in the past. It is the ultimate formation in the world and its power is boundless.
Even the powerful demons could not easily break through the Mingyue Formation presided over by human cultivators.
However, there is no unbreakable formation in the world, nor is there a defense without weaknesses.
The Mingyue Formation is controlled by humans, which is its most obvious weakness.
Therefore, once something goes wrong with a person, the formation will also have problems.
Such an important formation is naturally under the control of the most powerful sect in Longcheng Pass.
The Bright Moon Formation is controlled by the Huanling Sect.
As a result, this great formation that was supposed to help the human race resist the demons has turned against them today and is aimed directly at the monks of Longcheng Pass.
The moonlight illuminates the night sky and the bright moon hangs high in the sky.
Demon Lord Dongqi stood not far from the east city wall, and behind him was a large group of demon cultivators.
He looked up at the second "bright moon" that suddenly appeared in the sky, his expression calm, the corners of his lips curled up a little higher, and he ordered softly: "Kill, no mercy!"
…
The moonlight illuminates Longcheng Pass, giving it a cold and sad look.
Almost at the same time, the entire Longcheng Pass was filled with sounds of fighting, screams, and blood splattering and spilling.
Various spells and magical instruments were flying in the moonlight.
The whole city began to shake and the ground began to tremble.
"Demons!"
"It's the demons!"
"How could there be demons in Longcheng Pass?!"
After seeing the dark shadow could not help but exclaim in surprise.
However, the demon cultivators ignored the exclamations and maintained their set speed. With a terrifying and ferocious momentum, they charged towards the human cultivators. Wherever they passed, the wind whistled.
At this moment, a bright moon suddenly appeared high in the sky, casting its moonlight, illuminating the figures and faces of these demon cultivators extremely clearly.
In the moonlight, the extremely panicked and nervous monk Long Chengguan looked a little more relaxed.
Because they recognized the bright moon.
This is the sign that their Dragon City Pass formation, the Bright Moon formation, has been activated.
The bright moon of the past is still there today.
It is precisely because of the Mingyue Formation that Longcheng Pass was able to force the demons to retreat.
Although no one knows what happened that allowed the demons to enter Longcheng Pass, as long as the Mingyue Formation is still there, these demons will be wiped out.
However, something happened that no human cultivator could have imagined.
The bright moon sheds brilliant light.
The light turned into moon swords, which moved like a rainbow and fell from the sky.
However, these moon swords are not aimed at the demons.
...They are coming for the human race!
boom!
One palace after another collapsed, causing huge clouds of smoke and dust, with countless wood chips and dust rising up.
Then these moon swords slashed across the bodies of the monks one by one.
Wherever the Moon Sword passed, the bodies, magic weapons, and everything else of the human cultivators disappeared at this moment.
Death shocked everyone around.
Not only was the death shocking, but also the betrayal of the Mingyue Formation, which was supposed to protect Longcheng Pass.
"General attack, kill all the human cultivators in Longcheng Pass, leave no one alive, kill them all!" A shocking voice spread throughout the city.
As the human cultivators were shocked, the surging demons did not hesitate and rushed towards the human race at an even faster speed, as if helped by the strong wind.
The sky and earth rumble, and the wind and clouds are endless.
Within tens of thousands of miles around Longcheng Pass, numerous spells caused a large amount of fluctuations, leading to a riot of the spiritual power of heaven and earth. The earth was shattered, and buildings were overturned, as if this place had become the end of the world.
An unknown number of demon cultivators rushed out madly.
The monks from Longcheng Pass were surrounded by layers of enemies and were still in a confused state. Although they did not understand the specific situation and had to face the attack of the Mingyue Formation, they still roared and chose to fight to the death.
Because, behind them is the Central Spiritual Realm, their homeland, their sect, and the place where millions of their compatriots live.
They have no way out.
In this case, I have no choice but to risk my life and kill him.
In the chaotic Longcheng Pass, more monsters suddenly appeared and also rushed towards the human monks.
That is... the army of monsters controlled by the monks of Huanling Sect!
One by one, the human monks fell heavily from the sky to the ground, and their bodies collided with the hard ground, making a dull sound.
The corpses of some physical cultivators even blew a deep pit in the ground.
Blood flowed from their bodies and they fainted.
Buildings collapsed from time to time.
This was a long-planned massacre.
But it's not just the demons who are massacring the human race.
Rather, it was a massacre of the human race by the demons, monsters, a part of the "human race" and the Mingyue Formation.
Battles broke out in various places in Longcheng Pass. The human race suffered a severe blow, but they still rushed towards the demons fearlessly.
…
Southwest of Longcheng Pass.
"Why? Why?" A seventh-level cultivator from the Huanling Sect looked at the human cultivator standing at the front of the demon camp opposite him and asked with reluctance, confusion, and anger.
Because, those human cultivators were precisely the high-level cultivators of their Huanling Sect.
He didn't get an answer.
The high-ranking monks of Huanling Sect seemed not to have heard his question and did not even look at him.
Finally, this seventh-level cultivator of the Huanling Sect, with anger for being betrayed, grief for the imminent fall of Longcheng Pass, and confusion about the future, controlled his pet beast, performed escape techniques, and launched a charge towards the demons that were pouring in like a tide.
He wanted to rush to the powerful monks of his own sect and ask them in person what was going on.
Ask them why the demons entered Longcheng Pass, ask them why they stood in the demon camp, and ask them why the Mingyue Formation controlled by Huanling Sect launched an attack on the human race...
However, he was only at the seventh level of cultivation, and just as he leaped a few feet, he was cut across by a flash of moon sword in the air. His body was instantly split in two , and blood spurted out.
"Woo woo!" His pet beast let out a painful howl and continued to charge towards the demons fearlessly.
Even animals are loyal to their masters.
Why would anyone betray his fellow man?
This question exists in the minds of all the cultivators in Longcheng Pass.
…
South city wall.
Changgu Sword Master looked at the sect's sword cultivators who kept falling beside him, his face gradually became solemn, and his voice was colder than the edge of his sword, "Kill them all, and Longcheng Pass will be secured."
Nanjiange guards the southern city wall.
This was originally the most idle and easiest task.
But now, it has become the most important and difficult task.
——Longcheng Pass has fallen into dire straits, and all areas have fallen.
Then, the southern city wall became the last line of defense for the human race in Longcheng Pass.
Once the southern city wall falls, the demons will be able to march straight into the Central Spiritual Realm.
The demons came in like a tide, and it seemed that they could not be killed no matter what.
But there are no enemies in the world that cannot be killed.
As long as we kill all the people in front of us, Longcheng Pass will naturally be defended.
All the sword practitioners in Nanjian Pavilion adhere to this belief.
