Chapter 254

Fire Persimmon Mountain is erupting!

The earth shook violently, red flames burned like heavenly pillars, and endless magma erupted crazily.

The scorching magma drew dazzling flame arcs in mid-air, like golden-red fire dragons soaring into the sky, and then landed suddenly.

The majestic and surging magma rushed downwards with a pouring momentum, wanting to burn everything!

And Fire Persimmon Immortal City, located on Fire Persimmon Mountain, bore the brunt.

"We are... finished!"

"Why, why is there still such a violent eruption on Fire Persimmon Mountain?!"

"Run, run quickly!!"

The entire Fire Persimmon Immortal City fell into great shock and chaos.

The crowd was like ants, rushing without a path.

Chi Dun and Fei Si both appeared, hovering high in the sky, personally sitting in command, doing their best to stabilize the situation and people's hearts.

The night retreated step by step in the firelight, and the sulfur smell in the air was unprecedentedly pungent, making people suffocate!

Facing such power of heaven and earth, even the strong Jin Dan-level Chi Dun and Fei Si could not help but feel their own weakness and insignificance.

Under such circumstances, the mere Jin Dan level was of no help at all; wanting to turn the tide? It was just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

The only thing they could rely on was Nascent Soul!

Mountain peak.

Meng Kui's face was reflected by a bright firelight; he could no longer sit quietly, his face full of severity.

At this critical moment, as the City Lord of Fire Persimmon Immortal City, he had to step forward.

"Fire Persimmon Immortal City protection array, open for me!"

Meng Kui gave a sharp shout, and immediately countless emerald array patterns appeared in the sky, on the city walls, and on the ground.

Some of these array patterns were slender, some were wide and thick, crisscrossing each other, with a magnificent bearing.

This was the characteristic of the city-protecting array of Fire Persimmon Immortal City being fully mobilized. The usually hidden array patterns could only be seen by the naked eye at this moment.

Walls formed by countless array patterns blocked the magma tide rushing down.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle...

The magma rolled, hitting the array pattern walls, the momentum stopped, and rolling white smoke emerged.

The molten lava could not move forward and could only accumulate in place, the height constantly accumulating, gradually becoming a high slope.

And under the intense temperature, the emerald array pattern walls also quickly showed cracks.

When countless cracks accumulated to a certain extent, these array pattern walls finally reached their limit and collapsed.

However, the walls of array patterns were one after another, endless. Even if the foremost array pattern wall collapsed, there were still ones behind to top it up.

In this way, relying on the city-protecting array to hold on hard, it finally slowed down the impact speed of the magma, winning precious time for the citizens in the immortal city.

"Listen to me, everyone don't panic!"

"Lord City Lord has taken action; he is a Nascent Soul-level cultivator, we are inevitably safe."

"There will be no casualties tonight."

Fei Si's voice resounded throughout the city; his face was like iron, his voice cold, doing his best to appease people's hearts.

After saying these words, he immediately mobilized the City Guard Army.

The City Guard Army of Fire Persimmon Immortal City was carefully selected, possessing a large number of Foundation Establishment-level cultivators, and was very good at group fighting.

It was time to test Fei Si's foundation!

He had to make a judgment quickly on how many troops to send out to be appropriate.

Fei Si thought rapidly in his mind, gritted his teeth, and sent out 60% of the City Guard Army, leaving only 40% to guard Fire Persimmon Immortal City and maintain stability in the immortal city.

Chi Dun rushed over, wanting to command this batch of sent-out City Guard Army to go to the front line to contend with the surging magma.

Fei Si cursed angrily: "Brute, what's the use of you, a mere body cultivator, running to the front of the array?"

"You have to stay and guard Fire Persimmon Immortal City. The situation is chaotic now; once demon cultivators take advantage of the fire to rob, making us unstable, finally leading to a collapse, that would be the worst."

After Fei Si explained simply, he directly ordered Chi Dun to suppress the entire Fire Persimmon Immortal City. Once any bad signs appeared, he should take action directly without asking, killing all suspicious people on the spot.

Although Chi Dun and Fei Si didn't get along well usually, at such a critical moment, he put down past grievances and accepted the order solemnly.

Fei Si frowned, worried, his heart feeling like it was pressed by a huge stone.

Fei Si estimated secretly: Fire Persimmon Mountain erupted, with such terrifying power, relying solely on Meng Kui and the city-protecting array, even if they could block it, it would be a tragic victory.

Fire Persimmon Immortal City was bound to suffer impact; at that time, it was likely that more than half of the immortal city would be swallowed by magma.

To avoid this situation, only by fully mobilizing the manpower in the city could they turn the tide.

Fei Si didn't hesitate, urgently contacting Zhu Xuanji, as well as the three major cultivation families: the Zhou family, the Zheng family, and the Ning family.

All along, the City Lord's Mansion had been trying to maintain the relationship between their side and the three families. Even if it was just surface work, they had put in thought and energy.

Although recently, with the emergence of the Molten Immortal Palace, the rift between the two sides had increased and the contradictions had deepened.

Zhu Xuanji's appearance made the three families actively attach themselves and stand on the opposite side of the Meng family.

But at this very moment, the entire Fire Persimmon Immortal City was in serious crisis, and the interests of the Meng family and the three major cultivation families were consistent; they needed to tide over the difficulties together.

Hearing Fei Si's request for help, whether it was Zhu Xuanji or the three major cultivation families, they all responded immediately.

Six Jin Dan cultivators soon gathered by Fei Si's side.

Fei Si said: "The situation is urgent, I don't need to say much. Everyone, next we need to borrow your power to stop the magma from continuing to spread."

"These military tokens are all for you to take; wear them on your body, and you can be free from the suppression of the city-protecting immortal array."

Having said that, Fei Si took out five military tokens and handed them directly to the Jin Dan cultivators of the three families.

Only Zhu Xuanji was left without one, because Zhu Xuanji himself was born in the royal family, and the array of Fire Persimmon Immortal City was naturally useless to him.

The Jin Dan of the three families immediately flew out of Fire Persimmon Immortal City and came to the front line.

They carried military tokens and cast spells, free from suppression, and their power directly soared more than ten times compared to when they were fighting in the city before.

Ning Jiufan was in a white robe, and with a wave of his hand, frost and cold snow poured down, sprinkling on the magma, instantly steaming up large patches of water vapor, making the magma surface solidify quickly, with excellent results.

The two Jin Dan cultivators of the Zheng family, Zheng Danlian and Zheng Shuangou, both used their skillful spells to directly control the magma, making it constantly flow back and counter-impact.

As a major cultivation family mainly engaged in refining tools, the Zheng family had a lot of experience in controlling fire.

The performance of the two Jin Dan ancestors of the Zhou family was not as bright as the Ning family and the Zheng family.

Mainly because they were both good at setting up arrays, but this battlefield was already spanned by the city-protecting immortal array, and there was no space at all for them to exert their strengths.

Even so, the two Jin Dan went all out, and without the suppression of the array, various spells were released, still curbing the trend of magma spreading quite significantly.

Behind them were large batches of City Guard Army.

Many heads of the City Guard Army directly accepted Fei Si's sound transmission, accurately falling into position, occupying the array feet of the city-protecting array.

In these array feet, the spell-casting ability of the City Guard Army heads was greatly improved. At the same time, they were more handy in commanding their subordinates.

Fei Si commanded calmly, and seeing that the City Guard Army had all taken their positions, he issued orders uniformly.

The first round released the Earth Wall Technique.

The second round was the Torrent Technique.

The third round cast the Mud Swamp Technique.

The order of spell release was very particular, and they could cooperate with each other to maximize the effect of the previous spells.

Countless spells poured down like a rainstorm, covering the magma, sizzling.

And in Fire Persimmon Immortal City, the vast number of citizens were also mobilized. Many cultivators, in order to defend their homes, took the initiative to contribute and exert their full strength.

Fei Si did not arrange for them to go to the front line, but uniformly opened some array feet of the city-protecting array, allowing them to cast spells out of thin air here.

After these spells were released, they were immediately transferred by the city-protecting array and gathered to the front line.

Fei Si showed extremely strong ability, assessing the situation and commanding the whole city.

At this moment, the entire Fire Persimmon Immortal City was united in hatred against the enemy, closely united in one place!

Although the natural disaster was terrifying, all the cultivators in the immortal city believed that human power could overcome heaven.

Under the joint spell-casting of countless cultivators, the originally terrifying and majestic magma slowed down more and more.

People saw hope, and morale rose higher and higher.

Some cultivators' magic power was exhausted and dried up after continuous spell-casting, and they were helped to withdraw from the array feet.

The subsequent people had already lined up and followed closely to take over the vacant positions.

And those who were replaced sat on the ground, picked up pills and poured them into their mouths, racing against time to restore their magic power.

Such scenes fell into the eyes of those who cared, stimulating their feelings.

"Although Fire Persimmon Immortal City is a newly built city, these citizens are generally well-trained, and they all have basic tactical literacy."

"The previous City Lords of Fire Persimmon Immortal City, although they did not repair the city-protecting array, organized military exercises for the citizens every year."

"Everything now is the result of military exercises."

Such military exercise policies were not unique to Fire Persimmon Immortal City, but existed widely throughout the cultivation world.

The cultivation world had developed to this day, with abundant spiritual energy, countless excellent spiritual root possessors, and geniuses with talent emerging one after another.

The hundred arts of cultivation were like a hundred flowers blooming, and many techniques were extremely mature, and the utilization of cultivation resources had reached the extreme.

The fighting between countless families, sects, and alliances continued to rise in intensity, and the methods were constantly updated and optimized, finally catalyzing countless large and small cultivation kingdoms.

The active military preparations between cultivation kingdoms had been going on for nearly a hundred years.

The content of this military preparation, of course, was not just the accumulation of cultivation materials; the cultivation of cultivators also included the military training of the vast number of bottom-level cultivators.

It can be said that everyone in Fire Persimmon Immortal City was a soldier!

Now that Fire Persimmon Immortal City was facing a disaster, all the cultivators in the city immediately set out, and according to the previous military exercises, everyone was active and took the initiative to contribute their own strength.

Even a group of ants, when gathered together, can overturn the sea!
