Chapter 223: Chapter 223 – Fighting

“Which fellow Daoist would like to deal with the two Spirit Refining Level 5 cultivators?” the Nine Peaks City Lord asked with a sincere look.

It was a pity that in response, everyone present remained silent.

Their expressions were all very serious, as if they were thinking of something.
However, no one spoke.

To them, Spirit Refining Level 5 was not weak at all.

Nine Peaks City was just a remote little place, and Spirit Refining Level 5 was near the peak.
Apart from a few people, most people would not be a match for them at all.

This was even more so given that the enemies were demonic cultivators.

Among those of the same cultivation, demonic cultivators’ battle power would usually be stronger.

This was because those of the demonic path focused on battle power as opposed to cultivation.

Their principles were that the strong devoured the weak, and they all walked bloody routes.

Compared to ordinary cultivators, their environments were quite poor, but their battle power was not something that ordinary people could compare to.

Compared to them, ordinary cultivators were not a match for them at all.

In terms of mortals, this was the difference between someone who focused on gaining knowledge and someone who fought in battles all day.

Spirit Refining Level 5 cultivation was quite dangerous, and if one was not careful, one might fall.

Everyone fell silent, and only after a while did someone speak.

“If the City Lord does not mind, this old man is willing to tie down one of them,” an elder spoke.

Hearing this, everyone looked over.

Among the group, this person looked quite old—it was the Zhang family’s clan leader, Zhang Chong.

“So it’s the Zhang clan’s clan leader…”

Looking at Zhang Chong, the Nine Peaks City Lord had a look of realization on his face and let out a breath of relief.

No matter what, it was good that someone was willing.

“This old man is getting frail and can only deal with one person.
I will have to trouble another fellow Daoist to deal with the other,” Zhang Chong said seriously.

“Don’t worry, elder Zhang,” the Nine Peaks City Lord nodded.

It was not just him, everyone here understood.

Even though the Zhang clan leader had Spirit Refining Level 6 cultivation, he was incredibly old and could not fully use his power anymore.

Adding on the fact that demonic cultivators were quite strong, it was possible that Zhang Chong might be at a disadvantage.

For him to be able to tie down one of them was already quite good.

Naturally, no one would complain.

“Then this old one will take care of the other person,” another person spoke softly.

Everyone looked over and saw that it was the clan leader of another prosperous clan.
His cultivation was also at Spirit Refining Level 6, and it would be no problem for him to tie down a Spirit Refining Level 5 demonic cultivator.

“That is good.”

Hearing that person speak, the Nine Peaks City Lord’s expression became better and he said, “In that case, I will lead everyone else to deal with that Spirit Refining Level 9 demonic cultivator.”

As the Nine Peaks City Lord, his cultivation naturally was not weak, and he was the most powerful one here.
He had reached Spirit Refining Level 8 and was only one level below Level 9.

With everyone else supporting him, together with Nine Peaks City’s Great Formation, it would be enough.

Even if they could not defeat him, they could at least defend against him.

Thinking to there, everyone inwardly let out sighs of relief.

When they had suddenly heard about demonic cultivators attacking, they had been greatly shocked and panicked.

Now, hearing the Nine Peaks City Lord’s arrangements, they were able to calm down.

These demonic cultivators’ strength did not seem to be as great as they had expected.

Indeed, the Demon Sect had been able to heavily wound the Yue Kingdom’s five sects in just one night; this was quite shocking.

However, because they had done this, their strength was limited, and there were not as many people they could send out.

The Yue Kingdom was not too small, and there were many cities within it.

If the demonic cultivators wanted to take down each one, they had to split up their forces.

Given that the Nine Peaks City was so remote, the demonic cultivators would not send too many of their forces here.

When the time came, they just needed to resist and force those demonic cultivators away.

When the demonic cultivators left the Yue Kingdom, their foundation would still be here, and things would return to the past.

Thinking to there, everyone let out sighs of relief and felt much more relaxed.

A few days later, bad news continuously came.

The demonic cultivators had suddenly attacked and taken over a lot of land.

From the strength that they had displayed, it seemed that it was not three of them but five of them.

Moreover, one of them was at Foundation Building.

This was something that completely reigned above Spirit Refining realm cultivators.

Even a Spirit Refining Level 9 cultivator would not be able to face a Foundation Building cultivator at all.

Once they heard of this news, Nine Peaks City was sent into an uproar.

By now, no one dared to think of resisting, and everyone began to think of ways to leave.

However, by now, it was a bit late.

“So it’s here?” a withered elder dressed in black robes came to the spirit garden.

The elder looked ahead and sensed the spirit qi before nodding.

He could sense that the spirit qi in this area was exceptionally vigorous.

Spirit qi rippled in all directions but was bound by the Spirit Gathering Formation, unable to leave the region.

The spirit qi was incredibly dense, and the aroma of spirit grasses wafted over from the distance.

Sensing all of this, the elder could not help but smile.

“Shang Shi has already headed to the city and should be enough to suppress them.
According to the information, this spirit garden has a nameless manager,” the elder chuckled as a cold light glinted in his eyes and he became excited.

Ordinarily speaking, the cultivators managing spirit gardens did not have very high cultivations, and this was even more so for a spirit garden in such a remote place.
Having Spirit Refining Level 4 cultivation would be the absolute maximum.

With their group’s strength, taking over this place would be like taking candy from a baby.

As long as they killed that manager, this spirit garden would be theirs.

Thinking to there, the elder grinned and slowly walked up, preparing to enter.

Within the spirit garden, a young girl was staring dumbly.

“Demonic qi… demonic cultivator…”

Hou Juan looked at those people walking over, her expression changing.

By now, she was a true Spirit Refining realm cultivator, and she was no longer a mortal.

With her senses, she could clearly sense the terrifying demonic qi from that elder.

This was not something that a proper cultivator should have.

Demonic qi was incredibly unique.
Only those who cultivated demonic techniques and killed living creatures could create it.

This was the symbol of high-level demonic cultivators, and only demonic cultivators of at least Spirit Refining Level 4 or Level 5 would have it.

This was not something she could deal with.

Thinking to there, her expression changed and she turned to leave so that she could tell Chen Heng.

However, just as she moved, the demonic cultivator’s voice sounded out.

“There’s someone there?”

His voice sounded somewhat surprised as he looked in Hou Juan’s direction, “Cultivation is low, but the concealment is not bad.”

He spoke softly before waving his hand.

Demonic qi gathered as a black demonic blade slashed out towards Hou Juan, about to cleave her in half.

Hou Juan’s eyes widened.

However, right before the demonic blade could reach Hou Juan, it directly disappeared.

“Oh?”

Seeing this, the elder felt quite surprised.

“Someone actually came,” ahead, a voice sounded out.

An elderly figure appeared—he wore robes and had a simple appearance, looking like an ordinary farmer.

Walking over from the distance and looking at the demonic cultivator, he looked somewhat surprised, “Just like sir said, one cannot let down their guard here.”

It was Huang Nong.

“Who are you?” the demonic cultivator narrowed his eyes as he looked at Huang Nong, “Are you the manager of this place?”

He secretly made preparations to leave at any moment.

For that person to easily dispel his attack, his strength was not weak.

He might not be able to defeat this person.

Rather than fight with him, it was better to retreat and get rid of him after Shang Shi came over.

The demonic cultivator stood there and thought to himself.

“Me?”

Hearing the demonic cultivator’s words, Huang Nong smiled, “I’m not the manager here.
However, I should be enough to kill you.”

After he spoke, he walked forwards and swung his hand down.

A massive pressure swept out.

Just as the demonic cultivator wanted to retreat, his body froze and was unable to move.

In the next moment, a massive hand pressed down, slamming his head into the ground.

Bang!

Red blood spurted out, and in an instant, a Spirit Refining Level 6 demonic cultivator died.

Elsewhere.

“How lively,” Chen Heng was walking about in the city.

The surroundings were quite dark.

Nine Peaks City was quite remote, but that was only to cultivators.

To mortals, this place was quite good, and they felt that it was quite prosperous.

However, right now, the streets seemed quite bleak.

Large amounts of blood stained the surroundings.

“Looks like I came in time.”

Currently, the battle was still going on in the city.

Sensing the ripples of magic energy, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head and slowly walked forwards.

The Nine Peaks City Lord and the others were here, and many people had been injured or killed.

A Foundation Building demonic cultivator suddenly descended and began to fight with them, resulting in many deaths and injuries.

The Nine Peaks City Lord was quite resilient, but Zhang Chong and some others had already fallen.

Compared to the others, Zhang Chong had performed quite well.

He was currently sitting on the ground, covered with blood and dust.
His mental state seemed alright, but his face was quite pale.

It seemed that he had not been seriously injured.

The reason was not because he was strong but because of a treasure he had on him.

Sitting on the ground, Zhang Chong stared at a jade in his hands.

The jade was white and looked like an ordinary jade.
However, just then, when the Foundation Building demonic cultivator had charged over, this jade had blocked an attack from that demonic cultivator.

This was why Zhang Chong was still alright and had not been injured by that demonic cultivator.

This jade had been given to him by Chen Heng.

“Hao’Er…”

Looking at this jade, Zhang Chong seemed to think of something and his expression slightly changed.

Ahead, the Nine Peaks City Lord was still fighting.

What was surprising was that the Nine Peaks City Lord had actually hidden his strength.

From his performance, it seemed that he was not at Spirit Refining Level 8 but was actually close to Foundation Building.

Despite having such great cultivation, he did not show it and instead hid it.

This was why he was able to keep fighting with the Foundation Building demonic cultivator until now.
Otherwise, he would have long since been like Zhang Chong and the others, silently lying there.
