Chapter 1935: Convergence

~15 min read 2,823 words

In these two brilliant rainbows, the astonishing spiritual pressure that only Body Integration stage cultivators possessed pressed down toward the two Demon Race Venerables with great momentum. They were actually an early-stage and a mid-stage Body Integration existence.

The Demon Venerable giant saw this scene, his face changed slightly, and after looking at the escape light in the distance twice, he gloomily said "go" to the icy youth.

As soon as the words fell, he raised his hand, and a pitch-black battle chariot several zhang long shot out of his hand. With a flicker of his figure, he stood on it.

That icy youth had no expression at all, but his figure became blurred, and he disappeared in place with a flash.

The next moment, the white-robed youth's phantom appeared several hundred zhang away, and with a stride of his fluttering clothes, his figure disappeared strangely again.

This demon actually seemed to have transformed into a formless body, and within a few strides, he arrived at the edge of the sky.

As for the Demon Venerable giant, with a wild laugh, the black battle chariot beneath his feet flashed, actually transforming into a black lightning bolt with a thunderclap, shooting out. After a few flashes, it transformed into a tiny black dot and disappeared into the distant sky along with the youth.

Seeing this, Han Li's eyes flickered, but he had no intention of chasing.

The Silver Light Immortal on the side, shocked by the astonishing divine abilities of the Demon Venerable giant, also stood in place with an ugly face, not moving at all.

The strength of the leader commanding these Demon Race elites was somewhat beyond this woman's expectations, and it was very likely that there were other Demon Race Venerables among this batch of elite Demon Race members.

If this were truly the case, even with the help of her and the other, it would be very difficult for Yitian City to hold on.

Han Li's face quickly returned to normal, and after looking carefully at the two long rainbows shooting over, a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

The escape light converged, and the brilliant rainbows flying from the direction of Yitian City stopped and scattered not far from the two, revealing a man and a woman.

The man was about forty years old, with a square and dignified face, wearing a yellow Confucian robe, holding a thick white jade book, and actually having a pair of thick golden and silver brushes crisscrossed behind his back.

The woman was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with an oval face, quite extraordinary appearance, wearing a dark green palace dress, and carrying a purple flower basket in one hand.

"Sister Lin, are you alright? This time, I have come to support your sect under orders." The Silver Light Immortal saw the dark green palace-dressed woman, joy flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she immediately greeted her loudly.

"It is actually Silver Light sister who has come to support this city. This is truly great. It seems your city has received the help-seeking letter sent by this sect. But this fellow daoist is very unfamiliar, I wonder who he is?" The dark green palace-dressed woman saw the Silver Light Immortal clearly, and also revealed a look of surprise and joy, but when her gaze fell on Han Li, she was slightly stunned.

"Hehe, this is Fellow Daoist Han Li. In the past at Nine Immortals Mountain, I, Qing, have met Fellow Daoist Han a few times." That yellow-robed Confucian scholar scanned Han Li, but instead of waiting for the Silver Light Immortal to introduce him, he smiled slightly and said.

This person actually seemed to recognize Han Li.

"So it is the Green Dragon Venerable of the Nine Stars Sect. Han greets you." Han Li originally felt the Confucian scholar's face was somewhat familiar, and upon hearing this, after pondering for a moment, he recalled the other's origin and bowed lightly with a smile.

This Green Dragon Venerable of the Nine Stars Sect was exactly a Body Integration cultivator he had seen two or three times when he participated in the Nine Immortals Mountain exchange conference, but he hadn't made much acquaintance with him.

"The last time we met, I saw Brother Han was only at the early-stage cultivation base. Now, after several hundred years, he has actually advanced to a mid-stage cultivator. This is truly a joyous and congratulatory matter!" The Confucian scholar saw that the other remembered him, and a smile appeared on his face, but after his divine sense scanned Han Li's current cultivation base, he couldn't help but reveal a look of horror.

"I just had some opportunities in these years, so I was lucky enough to advance." Han Li naturally used a cliché excuse to lightly brush off the matter of his astonishing cultivation advancement, and instead turned the topic to the other palace-dressed woman.

"So it is Fellow Daoist Han Li, who has recently become famous. Brother Han is right. I am Lin Luan. This time, I must thank you and Silver Light sister for your help. If no fellow daoists of the same rank had come to help, Yitian City probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for another two months." This Great Elder of the Heavenly Emperor Sect opened her mouth, and the voice was unexpectedly pleasant, and her words also revealed great gratitude.

"Sister Lin, what do you mean by this? Earlier, Brother Han and I saw the scene of the Demon Race attacking the city from afar. Although those Myriad Elephant Demonic Cavalry are very troublesome, your city did not let the opponent take any advantage."

The Silver Light Immortal heard this, her eyes narrowed, and she asked with some solemnity:

"You two don't know, what appeared just now was only a small part of the Demon Race army. The true main army is stationed in the Middle Sword Mountain Range tens of thousands of miles away. And these Demon Race elites dare not attack this city with all their might, just waiting for a certain day to arrive." Lin Luan smiled bitterly and said.

"Waiting for a certain day?" The Silver Light Immortal was somewhat shocked.

"This day naturally refers to the day of the Five Suns Transforming into the Moon two months later. This day is exactly the day when the town-city array that this city relies on becomes ineffective." Lin Luan's beautiful face dimmed, and she said somewhat helplessly.

"Five Suns Transforming into the Moon! Calculating the time, it should indeed be the day of this strange scene once every hundred years. But how could this matter be related to the town-city array of your city?" The Silver Light Immortal's eyes flickered, somewhat surprised.

"The day of the Five Suns Transforming into the Moon, the Heaven and Earth Scorching Sun power will be lacking by more than half. Could it be that your city's array is greatly related to this Heaven and Earth Sun power!" Han Li himself was proficient in array dao, and asked with some realization.

"Fellow Daoist Han is right. We Four Great Sects have set up a Nine Suns Gang Sun magic array in Yitian City. The more Heaven and Earth Sun power this magic array absorbs, the more astonishing its power becomes! It can even kill Demon Venerables if all its power is mobilized. Relying on this array, this city has been able to force the Demon Race army not to dare to attack the city with all their might. But this magic array not only must be set up in a desperate place with nine places of Earth Fire power, consuming materials almost exhausting all of our Four Great Sects, but it also has a disadvantage, which is that it needs to absorb a large amount of Heaven and Earth Sun power at all times to stimulate it to fight the enemy. If it were normal, there would naturally be no problem, but if it encounters the day of the Five Suns Transforming into the Moon, the Heaven and Earth Sun power is greatly lacking, and it cannot take effect at all." Lin Luan explained with a smile, her words filled with pride.

"Nine Suns Gang Sun Great Array? With such great power, but how could the name be so unfamiliar? I have never heard of it." The Silver Light Immortal's shock still hadn't disappeared, and she asked somewhat strangely.

"It is not strange that Silver Light sister doesn't know. This magic array was researched by our Four Great Sects concentrating over a dozen array masters, spending over a thousand years before and after, but its power is absolutely no less than those legendary ancient desperate arrays." Lin Luan explained with a smile, her words filled with pride.

Han Li heard this, although his face was as usual, he was truly somewhat shocked in his heart. But to be able to forcefully create such a terrifying new desperate array, it was estimated that only these large forces could concentrate so much manpower and material resources to do this.

It seems these Four Great Sects are also not to be underestimated, having prepared for this demonic calamity long ago.

Not only did they gather four Body Integration existences, but they also possessed such a strange array as a reliance.

But Han Li thought about it, and suddenly smiled:

"Fellow Daoists, although the power of the Nine Suns Gang Sun Great Array is not small, since they are Demon Race elites, and there are four Demon Venerables commanding, I am afraid that relying on this magic array alone would not make the Demon Race army so fearful."

"That is true, the power of the magic array is indeed astonishing, but it is too slow to mobilize, and it is indeed somewhat reluctant to deal with four Demon Venerables. Moreover, these high-level Demon Race elites have late-stage completion Demon Venerables, which is probably even less something that a single magic array can force them to stop." The Silver Light Immortal pondered for a moment, and also asked with some strange look.

"Apart from the Nine Suns Gang Sun Great Array, this city indeed had some powerful means to threaten Demon Venerables in the past. However, these means also have great limitations and usage counts, and now the ones that can still be mobilized are also very few. Those Demon Race Venerables attack this city every few days, also with the intention of consuming these trump cards of this city. The specific details, they will explain to you two fellow daoists later." Qing Long Shang Ren heard this, but smiled bitterly and said.

"It seems that the situation of this city is indeed not very good. Then Han will listen to the accounts of these few fellow daoists first." Han Li said peacefully.

"Hmm, it is good to understand first." The Silver Light Immortal, seeing that her friend did not hide anything from her, felt much better, and agreed.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, you should first explain the general situation of Yitian City to the two fellow daoists." Qing Long Shang Ren heard this, nodded without hesitation, and immediately ordered to the side.

"Yes, Great Elder!" A gray-robed old man who was named stood out respectfully.

After bowing to Han Li and the other again, he introduced solemnly:

"Reporting to the two seniors, the situation of our Yitian City is indeed not very good. The ten thousand fortresses originally built to assist this city were all leveled by the Demon Race several months ago. The thirteen layers of city-protecting barriers set up by this city have been destroyed by five layers in these days of Demon Race attacks. If these barriers are to be repaired, it will take at least a month of buffer time. The bronze puppet army, which is the greatest help for defending the city, has also decreased sharply from the full number of one hundred thousand before the battle to the current seventy thousand. And these remaining puppets are already scarred and need a large amount of repair and re-nourishment. Otherwise, the number of reductions will increase at a faster rate. The most fatal thing is that the treasures used as array eyes for several city-protecting magic arrays were destroyed when some Jialun Battle Demons accidentally broke into the magic array not long ago. In this way, the defensive ability of this city immediately dropped by three points. The spirit beasts cultivated by Yitian Sect and Heavenly Emperor Sect..." The gray-robed old man had not finished speaking, and the Silver Light Immortal's face was already somewhat ugly again.

Han Li also frowned tightly, and after listening for a while, suddenly interjected:

"How come all I hear are some extremely bad things, and there are no slightly better news?"

"Reporting to Senior Han, there are naturally some good news! The manpower of this city has not truly lost much in these days of attacks, whether it is mid-low level cultivators or ordinary warriors, they have only lost one-tenth. Even after such a long time of continuous fighting and the blow of the fall of the other two seniors, the morale is not very good. In addition, the spirit stones and various materials stored in this city are extremely sufficient, and it will be absolutely no problem to persist for several decades..." The gray-robed old man changed his tone, and truly said some things that could inspire people.

"Hmm, since there is no problem with materials and manpower, and with our help, it should be very possible to hold Yitian City." The Silver Light Immortal let out a long breath, somewhat relieved.

"Qing Long and I also think so. With the help of you two fellow daoists, even if those Demon Venerables make a move again, we four don't have to fear their joint efforts. As for those Myriad Elephant Demonic Cavalry and Jialun Battle Demons, although they are equally troublesome, there are always ways to deal with them. As long as we can show one or two strengths not inferior to the opponent's high-level ones, the recovery of morale is also a matter of time." Qing Long Shang Ren said with joy on his face.

"It is indeed so. If those Demon Venerables make a move again, we four just need to find a way to entangle those Demon Venerables, and then find a way to mobilize the power of the Nine Suns Gang Sun Great Array, it is not impossible to truly severely injure one or two Demon Venerables." Lin Luan also said softly with a moved expression.

"I am afraid it will not be so simple to succeed. Those two Demon Venerables have already seen you two enter Yitian City. If they lead the team to attack the city again, how could they not guard against you two doing this? It is very likely that they will prepare some means to contend against the Nine Suns Great Array, or simply stop the fighting, and wait until the day of the Five Suns Transforming into the Moon when the array becomes ineffective, before attacking Yitian City with all their might." Han Li shook his head and said.

"Hmm, these Demon Venerables may indeed do so, but in this way, this city has also gained a breathing space. As long as the ineffective barriers of this city are restored to their original state during this time, and the bronze puppet army is repaired, and several powerful means prepared by this city are mobilized, even if the Nine Suns Gang Sun Great Array becomes ineffective, it is not necessarily true that we cannot hold Yitian City. However, at that time, we will still need the great help of you two fellow daoists." Qing Long Shang Ren flashed with essence light, but said with a cold sneer.

"Hmm, it seems we can only do this first. As long as those few Demon Venerables truly make a move, Han will naturally do his best to help you two fellow daoists." Han Li pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly and replied.

"Sister Lin, rest assured, since I have arrived here, I have the intention to help you overcome this difficulty." The Silver Light Immortal also smiled and said.

"This concubine thanks you two." Lin Luan saw that the two formally expressed their stance, and thanked them with joy.

Qing Long Shang Ren on the side also thanked them repeatedly with great joy.

In the following time, Han Li and the Silver Light Immortal asked several other Transformation Deity cultivators about more detailed information regarding the defense of Yitian City. After getting satisfactory answers, they were led by two maids outside the hall to rest first.

After all, after such a long journey, the two of them indeed needed to rest well first to deal with the great battle that could break out at any time.
