Chapter 863: Chapter 422: Mu Sinan, A Perfect Combination of Strength, Beauty, and Intelligence_2
The City Protection Array enshrouded the entirety of Flying Swallow City and, under his control as the only cultivator at the True Spirit Realm, annihilating these individuals was a simple task.
Such thunderous measures quickly intimidated the others, completely suppressing the chaos within the city.
Bloodshed is the best method to end chaos.
“Everyone, no matter which faction you belong to or how powerful your backing might be, at this critical moment, whoever dares to create conflict or assault the City Protection Array will be considered an enemy of the Purple Cloud Sect.
I will show no mercy in quelling enemies, and the ten or so people before are a prime example.”
At this moment, Cao Huanhua could no longer concern himself with other matters—if the chaos continued, Flying Swallow City would collapse without external attack, and he would not be able to save his own life.
If death was inevitable either way, why should he care about so much?
Mu Sinan’s spirit was calm.
She was waiting for the decision of those within Flying Swallow City.
She believed that within half an hour, the cultivators in the city would surely take action to their satisfaction if they did not wish to be caught up in the turmoil.
Indeed, as she had predicted, chaos swiftly erupted within the city.
However, she did not anticipate that the True Spirit Realm defender of the Purple Cloud Sect would act so decisively, forcefully maneuvering the City Protection Array to suppress the unrest.
What surprised her even more was the cowardice of those cultivators within the city.
“We can’t wait any longer. Junior Brothers and Sisters, follow me to break the Array.”
Cao Huanhua used ruthless tactics, immediately deterring everyone and crushing the chaos within the city, feeling a surge of pleasure at his strong and decisive actions.
Yet, before he could revel in his satisfaction, the City Protection Array started to rumble ominously, and even the entirety of Flying Swallow City was affected, with streets cracking and buildings collapsing.
“Elder Cao, the Green Flame Palace has launched an attack,” two Stewards responsible for maintaining the Array reported urgently.
“You must hold on at all costs,” Cao Huanhua instructed, then turned his gaze to the restive factions below, saying, “Now that Green Flame Palace has begun its assault on the city, if the Array breaks, all of you will be collateral damage. If you don’t want to die, you’d better come and help defend the city.”
No sooner had his voice fallen than Mu Sinan, who was attacking the city, threatened, “Listen well, those inside—if you don’t wish to become enemies of the Green Flame Palace, stay far away from me; otherwise, after the city falls, no quarter will be given.”
Upon hearing this, Cao Huanhua gritted his teeth; he knew that his plans had been foiled again.
However, at least the chaos had been quelled.
With a precedent now set, these people did not dare to cause unchecked chaos within the city, effectively eliminating a significant threat.
“Elder Cao, can we really hold on with just our power?” a disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect asked worriedly.
Upon hearing this, Cao Huanhua’s expression turned ice-cold: “Now, do we have any other choice? At this moment, it’s already good if they don’t stab us in the back within the city.
Next, we can only rely on the advantage of the Array to resist Green Flame Palace’s attack until reinforcements from our Sect arrive.”
The disciples present fell silent upon hearing this.
They no longer had a choice.
They quickly took up their respective duties, responsible for maintaining the Array and defending the city walls.
“Brother Cheng, what should we do next?” asked a Unity Realm seventh-layer cultivator in the city.
Standing in front of the crowd was a red-faced, burly man, the strongest individual in Flying Swallow City besides those from the Purple Cloud Sect. His name was Cheng Xiang, a cultivator at the ninth layer of the Unity Realm.
His gaze flickering, he watched the continuous assaults bombarding the Array above and pondered,
“Our current situation is difficult whether we advance or retreat. The only thing we can do is distance ourselves from these Purple Cloud Sect people, lest we are mistaken for enemies and slain by the Green Flame Palace once the city falls.”
Ever since Green Flame Palace began its siege, they had lost their best opportunity to leave Flying Swallow City.
The battle between the two forces had already erupted, and even if they were to open the Array from within, they would encounter indiscriminate attacks from Green Flame Palace.
Moreover, the Purple Cloud Sect—now on guard—wouldn’t afford them that chance.
The might of the City Protection Array, as well as the fate of those at the ten or so gates earlier, was still fresh in their memory.
As for helping the Purple Cloud Sect defend Flying Swallow City, that was even more improbable.
Given the strength of the Green Flame Palace’s current assault, the City Protection Array was unlikely to hold out for long.
All they could do now was stand by and keep a distance from the conflict.
As for what would happen after the city fell, whether they would be plundered,
What a joke—if they could survive, what did it matter if all their possessions were looted?@@novelbin@@
After all, one only has one life.
“To avoid being mistaken for remnants of the Purple Cloud Sect, let’s temporarily leave this place and find a safe corner.”
…
Five layers of Arrays hovered over Flying Swallow City, each one formidable.
With the combined efforts of squads of a hundred men, they rapidly broke through the first two layers of Arrays, but the third layer was much more robust and took nearly half an hour to breach.
For the fourth layer, Mu Sinan resorted to using one of her trump cards to break through it.
“Damn it, why hasn’t the Sect’s reinforcement arrived yet?” Cheng Xiang’s expression was extremely grim; they had held out for nearly two hours, but there was still no sign of reinforcements from the Sect.
Actually, he had a suspicion that both the Sect and the nearby cities were under attack, unable to tend to their own affairs, hence unable to support Flying Swallow City.
Boom—a beam of light reaching to the heavens fell, and the final Array violently shook.
What do you think?
