Chapter 893 Attacking Xianliu City
"A few days ago, only one of the five teams of monks sent by the City Lord's Mansion to the Ghost Desert to gather information returned, and that person died of serious injuries shortly after returning to the city. Before his death, he left a message that the demon cultivators were summoning thousands of insects in the Black Prison Mountain."
Li Zhou looked at the depths of the Ghost Desert with a serious expression.
Ye Zhou was shocked: "The demon cultivators are going to launch an insect tide to attack Xianliu City?!"
Li Zhou nodded.
This makes sense. Why did the spirit insects in the Ghost Desert riot a few months ago, why did the spirit insects living in the inner area suddenly flee to the outer area, and why did the demon cultivators capture the monks in the Ghost Desert.
All this is not because there are powerful spirit insects in the inner area occupying the territory, but because the demon cultivators are summoning spirit insects in the Black Prison Mountain in the inner area.
At the beginning, the demon cultivators may have used the wrong method to summon the spirit insects, which led to the spirit insects escaping from the inner area, attracting the city lord's mansion monks to explore the Ghost Desert. Later, after finding the correct method, they began to capture the monks and go to the Black Prison Mountain.
If Ye Zhou had not told Qi Rongyin about the place called "Black Prison Mountain", perhaps the cultivators sent by the City Lord's Mansion would still be searching for a needle in a haystack in the Ghost Desert, and would not be able to discover the conspiracy of the Demon Cultivators before they launched the insect tide.
Ye Zhou's reminder gave the City Lord's Mansion time to deal with the conspiracy of the Demon Cultivators, but the cultivators sent by the City Lord's Mansion had already alerted the enemy, and the Demon Cultivators would definitely launch the insect tide as soon as possible.
No wonder the City Lord's Mansion was facing a great enemy this time and forcibly restricted the cultivators from leaving Xianliu City.
After a long time, Li Zhou turned his head and looked at Ye Zhou beside him and said solemnly: "I hope that the senior will not tell other cultivators about this matter to avoid causing unnecessary panic."
Ye Zhou nodded.
Li Zhou added: "Since we have climbed the city wall, we will live and die with Xianliu City. Only by repelling the demon cultivators can we survive. If we tell other cultivators about this now, they will panic and face more casualties when facing the demon cultivators."
Li Zhou looked at the cultivators patrolling back and forth on the city wall in the distance and said: "I hope that after this battle, as many cultivators as possible will survive."
Ye Zhou's eyes followed Li Zhou's eyes and looked at the city wall that stretched for hundreds of miles. He saw countless cultivators patrolling the city wall seriously.
Ye Zhou's heart seemed to be touched.
After so many years of cultivating immortals, he was used to seeing lives being worthless and fighting for life and death. He had long looked at the life and death of others with cold eyes. He originally thought that all cultivators in the world of cultivating immortals were like this, but he didn't expect that there would be cultivators like Li Zhou.
Just as the two were looking into the distance, there was a roar behind them, followed by a dazzling golden light. This golden light actually penetrated several protective formations of Xianliu City and shot into the depths of the Guijue Desert.
The movement behind him attracted the attention of countless monks on the city wall, and everyone looked at the location where the golden light came from.
A golden eyeball shadow as big as a house was floating in the air in the center of Xianliu City, and the golden light came from the pupil of the golden giant eye.
The golden giant eye was like a living thing, with many golden blood vessels as thick as human arms distributed on the eyeball, and a constant flow of golden liquid was injected into the pupil.
The pupil absorbed a large amount of golden liquid, and the golden light emitted was even stronger, as if it was going to penetrate the entire Guijue Desert.
"What is this?"
Many monks on the city wall asked, and Ye Zhou's eyes were full of curiosity.
He noticed that the place where the golden eyeball shadow appeared was exactly where the city lord's mansion was located.
