Chapter 118 The Great Wall has been breached and is in imminent danger!
Beyond the Ninth Great Wall lies the Wangduan Mountain mining camp.
This is the only cave-heaven mine still owned by the Free and Unfettered Academy. It is heavily guarded by the Free and Unfettered Academy's troops all year round, so it has always been relatively safe.
After learning that Su Wanzhi and the others had gone missing, Song Feiyan led thousands of cultivators from the Xiaoyao Academy to search for them deep within the cave.
However, after learning that the mine had been attacked, she had no choice but to lead the cultivators of Xiaoyao Academy back to Wangduan Mountain to provide assistance.
But as soon as they arrived at the mine, they discovered that the army of the Golden Horned Rhinoceros of the Fierce Clan had suddenly pressed in!
Although the mine is now filled with the main force of the Xiaoyao Academy, with tens of thousands of cultivators, the Golden Horned Rhinoceros Clan has mobilized an army of 100,000 ferocious beasts to surround the entire mine like an iron barrel, making it impenetrable!
Left with no other choice, Song Feiyan and the master of Xiaoyao Academy could only order the lighting of the beacon fire to request reinforcements from Xiaoyao City and the surrounding ancient cities.
This mine is rich in raw stones and spirit stones, and is the main energy source for the Great Wall formation in Xiaoyao City and its jurisdiction. It must not be lost!
"Damn it! Senior sister, has that old golden rhinoceros gone mad? Why did it suddenly send out its entire force to besiege my Wangduan Mountain mine?"
Looking at the Lord of Freedom whose armor was covered in bloodstains, Song Feiyan couldn't help but ask angrily.
"It's indeed strange. Wangduan Mountain isn't far from the Ninth Great Wall. He sent out his entire army. Isn't he afraid of burying them all here?!"
The only female palace master among the four great academies of the Free and Unfettered Academy, she stood atop the mine, sword in hand, gazing at the seemingly endless army of ferocious beasts.
The Wangduan Mountain mine is protected by a magic array and has tens of thousands of cultivators. Her cultivation has also reached the Refining Void Realm. Although she is not as powerful as the Golden Rhinoceros Lord, she is strong enough to hold out until reinforcements arrive.
Moreover, since the opening of Wangduan Mountain, it has never been attacked, which does not benefit the Golden Rhinoceros Clan at all.
"The Lord of the Golden Rhinoceros is an old rival; he's not that stupid." The Lord of Freedom took a deep breath.
"Then why don't we take advantage of the fact that all the Shen family's experts are in Xiaoyao City and severely damage them in one fell swoop, thus avenging our previous humiliation!"
Song Feiyan was somewhat agitated. In recent years, half of the members of their Xiaoyao Academy had died at the hands of the Golden Rhinoceros Clan!
This hatred had been building up in her heart for a long time.
"Feiyan, your talent was indeed stronger than mine in the Free and Unfettered Academy, but do you know why Master passed the position of Palace Master to me?" The Palace Master of the Free and Unfettered Academy suddenly asked.
Song Feiyan frowned and shook her head, saying, "I hadn't thought about it..."
"Junior sister, you still need more experience..."
The Palace Master of Xiaoyao Palace smiled, then frowned and said, "What I find strange now is that although we have lit the beacon fires, it will still take time for the Shen family's experts to come to our aid. If the Golden Rhinoceros Clan launches a strong attack now, it will be difficult for us to resist."
"But they surrounded them without attacking..."
"Is that so strange? The Golden Rhinoceros Clan certainly isn't confident." Song Feiyan spread her hands.
Buzz!
At that moment, the sky cracked open, and thousands of streams of light descended from the sky, breaking through the air.
However, the leader was not Shen Chuan, but an elderly man with white hair who looked even older than Shen Chuan.
The old man leaned on a withered wooden cane, his body hunched over, and he looked like a worldly old scholar.
"What's going on? There's no war?" But as the old man landed, the wrinkles on his face suddenly deepened.
"Ancestor, this situation seems quite unusual!"
Shen Chuan quickly noticed something amiss.
Why do you all say that?
This made Song Feiyan wonder, "Could it be that this fierce clan has some kind of trick up its sleeve?!"
"This is indeed a trap set by the Golden Rhinoceros Clan!"
Just then, Li Biluo emerged from the void and appeared in front of everyone in a few flashes.
Her cultivation has now reached the peak of the Cave Heaven realm, and her combat power is definitely no less than that of the Palace Master of the Carefree Palace.
"Li Biluo, under Gu Jiancheng's command, has come specifically to inform you all."
Panting, Li Biluo ignored everyone's astonishment and quickly told them about the mysterious beast army after a brief self-introduction.
"But it seems I'm still a step too late!"
But in the end, seeing that the Shen family's expert had already arrived, Li Biluo still sighed.
"What did you say?! The Golden Rhinoceros Clan has another mysterious army heading towards Xiaoyao City?!"
But Li Biluo's news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for everyone.
The Palace Master of Xiaoyao Palace turned deathly pale in an instant. At this moment, she finally understood why the Golden Rhinoceros Clan army only surrounded the city and did not attack. They wanted to trap all the powerful figures in Xiaoyao City here. Their real purpose was to break Xiaoyao City!
The city of Xiaoyao is now completely empty; how can it possibly withstand the attack?!
Song Feiyan soared into the sky, gazing at the entire army of ferocious beasts, her face turning ashen.
"Senior sister, we really didn't see any of the old golden rhinoceros's cubs in this army. We might have really been deceived!"
After falling, Song Feiyan felt extremely guilty.
It was her suggestion to burn red smoke signals; she didn't think much about it at the time.
"Hmph, I'll just go back now."
The old patriarch of the Shen family snorted coldly, and then his long robe billowed as he soared into the sky, preparing to return to Xiaoyao City.
As long as he returns to Xiaoyao City in time, even if the Golden Rhinoceros Clan sends a surprise attack, there is nothing to fear!
"Hahaha, Old Monster Shen, now that you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
But at that moment, a cold laugh suddenly rang out from the sky.
hum!
Immediately afterwards, a golden blade of light suddenly slashed down from the sky, its ferocious aura surging, instantly tearing through the void.
The patriarch of the Shen family raised his hand and swung his withered wooden cane to meet the attack.
Click!
But the next moment, with a loud bang, the sharp edges of the two Refinement Realm experts clashed together. The aftershocks were like a tidal wave, shattering large areas of the void. The impact even leveled the mountain outside the mine formation in an instant!
To the astonishment of Shen Chuan and the others, the Shen family patriarch was actually knocked down by the impact!
Even the powerful Second Patriarch of the Shen family was at a disadvantage?
"Damn it, that old bastard has broken through his cultivation level and is now in the late stage of the Refining Void Realm!"
The patriarch of the Shen family descended and let out a muffled groan.
Late stage of the Refinement Realm?!
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank.
The current patriarch of the Shen family is only at the peak of the mid-stage of the Refinement Realm, yet the Golden Rhinoceros Lord's cultivation is even higher?!
Therefore, even if they join forces, they can only contend with the Lord of the Golden Rhinoceros.
The Palace Master of Xiaoyao Palace directly summoned a teleportation talisman, hoping to escape the encirclement of the fierce race.
"Palace Master Xiaoyao, I advise you not to use talismans, otherwise, my 100,000 Golden Rhinoceros Clan army and I will spare no effort to slaughter all the cultivators in your mine!"
"If you don't believe me, you can leave now!"
But at this moment, the Golden Rhinoceros Lord, whose entire body was shrouded in golden heavy armor, descended upon the mine with his jet-black wings shaking the clouds, looking down at all the cultivators below.
Thus, the Palace Master of Xiaoyao Palace was still unable to crush the talisman.
She really couldn't leave; the tens of thousands of cultivators here were just as important as the City of Leisure...
In this way, they were all trapped inside the mine.
The two sides were evenly matched, and neither dared to make a move rashly.
"Perhaps we don't need to be so pessimistic. The magic array on the Ninth Great Wall is not so easy to break. If it's just a small number of ferocious beasts, they might not be able to get in." At this moment, Song Feiyan tried to comfort her.
"No, junior sister, didn't you see that the Golden Rhinoceros Clan's actions this time are completely unlike the Fierce Clan's style? There must be human help behind them. The Ninth Great Wall is practically useless!" But the Palace Master of Xiaoyao Palace was extremely pessimistic.
"What!? Do you mean that there are traitors in my Xiaoyao City and Xiaoyao Academy?" Song Feiyan was stunned upon hearing this.
This was a bolt from the blue.
“It might not be our people. The Great Wall formations in the five regions are constructed in the same way. It wouldn’t be difficult for the Golden Rhinoceros Clan to break through the Great Wall.” The Palace Master of Xiaoyao Palace took a deep breath.
This may be the most difficult moment that Xiaoyao City has ever encountered.
"There's no need to be so pessimistic." But at this moment, Shen Chuan suddenly spoke up.
He looked at Li Biluo and said in a deep voice, "Didn't Miss Li say that Jian Cheng and the others knew in advance that such a surprise force was going to Xiaoyao City? Therefore, Xiaoyao City is not unguarded."
“Gu Jiancheng? My academy’s newly accepted disciple? But he is only a junior…” The Palace Master of Xiaoyao Palace frowned slightly.
She hadn't even met this so-called number one prodigy of the Eight Prefectures, who was the subject of so much discussion.
"Hehe, there are differences among the younger generation. We just need to wait for news." Shen Chuan looked confident.
Of all the people, only he had witnessed Gu Jiancheng's first move in the cave, and how terrifying it was!
As Shen Chuan said, Gu Jiancheng and the others had indeed returned to the Ninth Great Wall at top speed.
But they were shocked to discover that a huge gap had been breached in the Ninth Great Wall, and the ground was covered with traces of trampling, with the corpses of human cultivators along the way!
The mysterious army of the Golden Rhinoceros Clan has already breached the Great Wall and entered; it seems they were a step too late!
