Chapter 845 Sixteen Mortal Cities Ling Wansheng (2400 words, please subscribe)

The heart of Yan State.

Deep in the Lingxiao Mountains.

In the north of the Ling clan, there is an open space with a huge city covering thousands of feet.

The city is full of houses, where mortals with ragged clothes and no spiritual energy live, and the streets are very lively.

In the north of the city, there is a large field where many mortals work.

In the depths, there is an area covered by clouds and mist. It is the most mysterious city lord's mansion in the whole city. It is rumored that there are cultivators here.

If you pass through the layer of clouds and mist, you can enter it, and the spiritual energy there is very rich. It is a second-level middle-grade spiritual land.

But now this spiritual land is very quiet, and there are very few people.

Only a young man wearing Ling's Taoist robes and exuding the aura of the initial stage of foundation building sat cross-legged under a pine tree.

In front of him, there is also a formation plate on the ground, as if this thing is extremely precious.

On the four walls of this huge city, however, there was a completely different scene.

Thirty monks wearing Ling's Taoist robes, each controlling a demon corpse or a spirit beast, were distributed on the four walls of the city, looking out in all directions, without a trace of slackness, as if the bustle in the city had nothing to do with them.

At this moment, the copper bells erected in the center of the four walls suddenly trembled.

A huge copper bell sound suddenly came out, resounding in all directions.

The next moment, countless array patterns emerged from all parts of the city and merged into a huge array that enveloped the entire city.

From the outside, this city was like a huge yellow bowl turned upside down.

"Enemy attack!"

"The city defense formation sensed that three foundation-building demon cultivators and three hundred Qi-training demon cultivators broke into the city within three thousand feet."

"Follow me to the north wall to defend the city."

A young voice suddenly came from the city lord's mansion, which was covered by clouds and full of spiritual energy in the depths of the city.

Then, the young man in the city lord's mansion controlled the famous late Qi-training fairy crane of the Ling family and landed on the north wall.

The Ling family cultivators who were patrolling on the other three walls around heard the signal and gathered around the young man in the early foundation-building stage at this moment.

They looked solemn and stared at the north of the city.

After waiting for a while, a second-level medium-sized flying boat of several dozen feet in size suddenly appeared in front of them a thousand feet away.

With just a glance, the Ling family cultivators in the city detected the number of cultivators in it, which was indeed as detected by the formation.

However, when the Ling family cultivator in the early stage of foundation building saw the uniform Taoist robes worn by the demon cultivators on the flying boat, he immediately showed some anger between his brows and frowned.

"The demon cultivators of Xuanshi Sect? They seem to be so arrogant. They entered our territory without hiding their identities and were so open and aboveboard. Do they really think that our Ling family is easy to bully?"

Thinking of this, he slapped the storage bag on his waist, took out a second-level mother-child token from it and crushed it.

Then, he greeted the fellow tribesmen around him.

"The attacker is a demon cultivator from the Xuanshi Sect. The demon cultivators of this sect are best at the demon corpse path. They are the top existences in the entire Northern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World. Don't underestimate the enemy."

"I have asked for help from the clan members stationed in the surrounding cities and the clan territory. As long as we delay for a while, we will probably be able to wait for support."

This young man in the early stage of foundation building belongs to the Wan generation among the six generations of the Ling family, "Yun, Xiao, Peng, Cheng, Wan, Li". His name is Ling Wansheng. His parents are both cultivators of the Ling family, so he can be considered a member of the Ling family.

However, his aptitude is not good, only four spiritual roots.

Fortunately, his parents are both cultivators, and his cultivation has his parents' support. In addition, he is good at magic and is a powerful magic cultivator. The family also tilts resources towards him. Later, he was given the Lingxiao Continued Fate Technique by the family, which can improve the best years for breaking through the great realm. He also successfully entered the foundation building realm at the age of 63 last year.

Because he had just entered the foundation building stage and was relatively weak, he was arranged by the family to stay here during the monster beast rebellion, with thirty Ling family cultivators and more than thirty spirit beasts and demon corpses to guard this mortal city.

And this mortal city was one of the sixteen mortal cities that the Ling family built before the monster beast rebellion in order to gather the 1.6 to 1.7 million people under its command.

There are fifteen more mortal cities like this in the Ling family mountain area.

Moreover, these sixteen mortal cities are all built around the second-level medium-grade or above spiritual veins near the Ling family's clan land, so that each of the quasi-third-level defense formations can have enough spiritual energy to open.

If these mortal cities are in danger, the Ling family cultivators stationed in the Ling family's clan land can also arrive in time.

In addition, the Ling family made such arrangements, and also wanted to use these sixteen cities as outposts to alert all directions and improve the safety of the clan land.

As for the city defense formations in those cities, they were arranged by Ling Penglin, the only third-level formation master of the Ling family, who worked day and night before the monster rebellion.

However, just as the foundation-building cultivator Ling Wansheng finished speaking, a bright light flashed in his storage bag. When he took out the moving object, he saw that it was a mother-and-child token, but it was a different set from the mother-and-child token he crushed before.

This mother-and-child token was used to receive messages.

At this time, the mother-and-child token was flashing with a bright light.

Ling Wansheng quickly pinched his fingers and entered a spell into it, and saw that the token pointed to the south of the city.

There was also a mortal city in that area.

However, the token did not stop, and then pointed to fifteen directions in a row.

And those fifteen directions were the directions of the remaining fourteen mortal cities and the Ling clan.

"All the sixteen mortal cities and clan lands are in danger and asking for help. Could it be that our clan is... invaded by the Xuanshi Sect?"

Ling Wansheng's body trembled, and the solemnity on his face became more intense. He even had a lot of sweat on his forehead.

The other Ling clan cultivators around also saw the situation of the mother-child token, and they even had some fear on their faces.

However, an old late-stage Qi training cultivator of the Peng generation who had never spoken and ranked very high in the family generation saw the expressions of the crowd at this time, and a nameless anger appeared in his heart. He quickly scolded.

"You bunch of bastards, you are afraid of fighting before the war and don't want to live, right?"

"Even if our clan is in danger now, we have nothing to fear. We are in the formation at home, and the enemy needs to attack the city. We will not encounter any big trouble for the time being."

"Besides, even if the Xuanshi Sect really sent demon cultivators to attack our clan, the number must not be too many, otherwise there would not be only this many demon cultivators attacking this time."

"Wake up, everyone. If anyone dares to escape from the battlefield, I will kill the escaper with my old bones."

"My Ling family does not need people who are afraid of death."

After saying that, the old clan member of the Peng generation looked at Ling Wansheng meaningfully and said something.

"Not every cultivator with four spiritual roots can enter the foundation building stage. Don't forget who helped you enter the foundation building stage."

"If you get benefits, you must pay a price."

Ling Wansheng did not dare to have any opinion on the scolding of the old cultivator of the Peng generation.

Although the old cultivator had only completed his Qi training, he was a very kind person. When he was young and working outside, he helped many clan members. In addition, he was very senior in the family and was of the same seniority as Ling Pengyun, the ancestor of the Ling family.

On weekdays, even some young cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building in the clan would give him some face.

His face turned red because of this. When he thought of his family, his eyes suddenly became firm, and he also said solemnly to the old clan member.

"Grandpa, don't worry. As long as I am still alive, I will not let the demon cultivators from the outside world enter."

Then, he called on the cultivators present to take out their magic tools, and he himself kept pinching the spells to perform magic in advance, waiting for the arrival of the demon cultivators.
