C19 Mi Lin
The frenzied spirit beasts in the maze are not only entrenched in the maze, but they are beginning to attack the outside. If it wasn't for the timely arrival of the cultivators outside of the town, the Baili family wouldn't have been able to defend against all of them. After the attack of the spirit beasts, all the cultivators in Qinghe Town had realized the severity of the situation.
Bad news came one after another. After the two tree kings were demonized, another tree king and its maze was corroded by the darkness. It lived in the center of every maze forest outside Qinghe Town. Both of them were at the peak of the Qi Condensation Stage. After being demonized, their cultivation base was at the peak of the Qi Condensation Stage. Their strength had been greatly enhanced. In just a day's time, the three Qi Condensation Stage tree kings had broken through to the Pulse Cutting Stage.
After organizing two sneak attacks on the three tree kings, but to no avail, the Baili family issued an emergency order to Liuyan City. This was the power that all families and sects possessed when a great disaster occurred in the Liuyan County. Liuyan City attached great importance to this emergency order that couldn't be used easily. This was because the emergency command was enough to affect the life and death of the entire Liuyan County.
Devil Tree King, who was originally just a few Pulse Cutting Stage, wouldn't be able to make the Baili family lose their composure like this. The most important thing was the eight tree kings in the Prison Forest. They weren't Qi Condensation Stage warriors, but peak Pulse Cutting Stage warriors. Eight peak Pulse Cutting Stage warriors might not be scary. However, if they were eight Core Transformation Stage Devil Tree King, that might not be the case.
Besides, there was also a terrifying devil in the dark and bottomless cave. Initially, the Baili family wanted to hide this matter, but now... If they didn't have the support of the entire Liuyan County, they would only be digging their own graves. The current Qinghe Town wouldn't be able to hold on for more than a month, and it would be destroyed.
No one would be able to escape, including the Tree King in the forest. There were a total of twenty-three Tree Kings in the Qinghe Town, and fifteen of them were Qi Condensation Stage. Out of the eight Pulse Cutting Stage warriors, there were only two paths to enter and exit the Qinghe Town. One was to pass through the prison forest, and the other was to pass through several mysterious forests.
These two paths could no longer be considered safe. When the Baili family was unable to resist the erosion of the source, the cultivators of Qinghe Town could only watch as the forests were eroded day by day. One by one, the tree kings were transformed into Devil Tree King. Not long after, these hungry and thirsty Devil Tree King would bring along countless wild and violent spirit beasts. He would charge into the Qinghe Town and seize a large amount of flesh and blood to satisfy his own greed.
At the same time, the pure Spiritual Force contained within a cultivator's body was also one of their goals. Therefore, many cultivators in the Qinghe Town were hunted by Devil Tree King and the wild spirit beasts when they were out. That's right, they were hunted. The cultivators who thought they were hunters... At this moment, they had become the prey in Devil Tree King's eyes.
Because of the suppression of the dark cave, the dozens of tree kings in Qinghe Town were restricted from advancing their cultivation base. From thousands of years until now, not a single tree king had broken through to the Core Transformation Stage. However, this didn't mean that they weren't strong. In fact, every tree king in the ___ who had thousands of years of Spiritual Force essence in their body... Ordinary cultivators would not even be able to injure them.
There was once a Pulse Cutting Stage warrior in Qinghe Town who had fought with a Devil Tree King, who was at the sixth level of the Pulse Cutting. When faced with a Devil Tree King who had just broken through not long ago, the result was that the warrior was beaten until he ran away like a rat. There was no way to seriously injure him. Each of his techniques was used with all his strength. They could only leave a shallow mark on Devil Tree King's huge body. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
Devil Tree King's powerful strength and the number that was increasing every day... It made everyone feel despair. They no longer had the arrogant and unreasonable feeling they had before. Currently, most of the people in Qinghe Town had placed their hopes on the three overlords of Liuyan County.
The rain was misty in the morning forest, and the drizzle was fluttering in the breeze. The leaves on the branches were wet, and the soil and leaves on the ground were wet. With a squeaking sound, a head popped out from the dense forest. After looking around for a while, he stuck his body out. It was a young man whose cultivation was not very high. As he walked towards the small path in the forest, he thought to himself. At the same time, he was paying attention to his surroundings.
Just last night, the four Devil Tree King had once again charged into the Qinghe Town with countless wild and violent spirit beasts. This time, the battle lasted until dawn. Nearly a hundred cultivators had died. If it wasn't for his good luck, the young man would have pretended to be dead and hid in a corner. Then he definitely wouldn't have been able to see today's sun. After careful consideration, the youth decided to escape Qinghe Town. If Devil Tree King attacked the city a few more times, his luck might not be enough to guarantee his survival.
The young man carefully climbed up a big tree and used the branches and leaves on the treetops to hide his figure. He jumped on the branches at a moderate speed. Just now... He saw a silvery-white wolf lying on a small path in the distance. As if he was taking a nap, he did not dare to let his guard down. He could only move forward in a different way. Fortunately, this place was already considered the outermost part of the maze forest, and it wouldn't take more than a few hours. The youth could walk out of the Mi Forest.
This Mi Forest was located at the eastern exit of the Qinghe Town. Compared to the numerous dangers in the Mi Forest, the berserk spirit beasts were basically wandering around in the Mi Forest. It was rare for them to leave. For some reason, they didn't know. Some people guessed that there was a huge formation in the basin where the Qinghe Town was located, which bound the spirit beasts and the tree king in the Mi Forest.
Only under very few circumstances would they be able to leave the maze forest and attack humans. It seemed that this was the right way to describe it. Because recently, the more frequent Devil Tree King attacked the city, the more he verified this statement. Originally, there was only one attack after half a month. Until now, there was a siege that happened once every two days. This kind of change was not without a pattern.
Under the suggestion of everyone, the supreme elder of Baili family once again arrived at the dead land in the Prison Forest. He discovered that a good portion of the originally intact formation had been corroded. It seemed that it wouldn't take long before the thing in the dark cave broke through the formation and came out. At that time, if the three overlords of the Liuyan County hadn't sent anyone over... The Baili family and Qinghe Town would certainly be in danger. In fact... Such a disaster would implicate the entire Liuyan County.
The cultivators in the Qinghe Town were burning with anxiety, and their escape route was blocked by the maze forest. The speed at which the message could be conveyed through talismans was too slow. It had been a few days since the emergency order was sent out. However, they had never received a reply. This made the people of Baili family feel oppressed.
In Qinghe Town, a large number of cultivators had gathered in front of the central square, looking forward to the reply of the emergency order and the reinforcement of Liuyan County.
"Was the emergency order not able to break through the blockade of the maze forest and was intercepted halfway?"
After a long silence, someone finally raised their doubts, which caused a commotion among the crowd. Now that they wanted to walk out of the maze forest and become an extravagant hope, the emergency order was the life-saving straw in everyone's heart. But if even this life-saving straw was unable to work, then they had no other choice but to wait for death.
