Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

Zhan Chen was sparring with an inner court disciple of the Sword peak when Yang Yukong returned. He had not returned alone as Fu Deming was also with him.

"Greetings senior", the elders were the first to kneel down after seeing Fu Deming. The disciples also followed suit but there were curiousity in their eyes.

Many of them were unaware about Fu Deming's identity. Thus, they were curious to know about the person who commanded such respect from their elders.

"Everyone, prepare for the battle.

There is not much time left. The situation of the Yellow stone city is first deteriorating as we speak", Fu Deming announced. There was a solemn look on his face as he looked towards the sword peak's elders and disciples.

"Senior, we are already prepared. We will leave for the Yellow stone city as soon as we receive your permission", an elder replied.

"Good, let us meet at the main entrance in an hour. I will personally lead our Xuantian sect for the battle", Fu Deming spoke.

He didn't stay any further after finishing his speech. He spread his essence energy towards Zhan Chen and Zhan Chen started to leviate in the air. Together, both of them left the Sword peak with a breathtaking speed.

"Senior, thank you for bringing me to my mountain", Zhan Chen bowed towards Fu Deming after he brought him to his mountain.

"Zhan Chen, no need to act formal. Let's come to the important matter. Do you really want to join the battle in the Yellow stone city?", Fu Deming looked towards Zhan Chen. He had a serious expression on his face contrary to his usual easygoing demeanor.

"Senior, I think I have to participate. Many of my women are participating. Moreover, I never have an experience of fighting with devils. So, I want to gain experience", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Okay, I will inform Wu Li about your wish. Hopefully, she will let you go", Fu Deming replied.

"Senior, thank you for your help", Zhan Chen spoke. He knew his ancestor, Zhan Wu Li would never favour his idea. So, it is upto Fu Deming 's effort to make her agree. So, he sincerely showed his gratitude to Fu Deming.

"Be prepared. If she agrees, we will leave exactly one hour later", Fu Deming spoke. His figure disappeared into thin air after he finished his conversation with Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen walked back to the cave complex after bading farewell to Fu Deming. He spread his soul consciousness and found Hui Ling in a nearby room. She was sitting on a stone bed with an absentminded look on her face.

-----------------

As the sun rose over the Yellow stone city, its rays casted a warm, golden light across the streets and buildings. It was a beautiful sight, but it was not enough to calm the palpable sense of panic that hung in the air.

People were running frantically through the streets, their faces etched with fear and desperation. Some were clutching their loved ones tightly, while others clung to their belongings as they were looking for an good opportunity to escape the city.

The sky above was a deep shade of blue, but there were cracks in it, like rips in a sheet of paper. Through these fissures, one could see dark greyish sky and the outlines of numerous grotesque, demonic figures.

Beyond the city walls, the devils were emerging one by one. They seemed like an unending stream as they walked out of the space crack.

Standing on the city wall, a frown appeared on Lan Yueyue's face. She was the city lord of the Hundred blossom city. Thus, even without an impressive cultivation base, her position demanded respect from all the present cultivators.

"Is the Xuantian sect not here yet?", she looked towards one of her own subordinates.

"No, young miss. They are yet to arrive. But we can still expect them before it is too late", her subordinate replied cautiously. He was worried that her anger would flare up if he gave any untactical answer.

"Forget about those Xuantian sect turtles. Is the imperial army here yet?", Lan Yueyue asked again. There was an urgency in her voice as she looked towards her subordinate.

"Young miss, there is no news yet regarding their arrival. I will inform you as long I hear anything about them", her subordinate spoke. There was a line of sweat on his forehead as he replied to his young miss.

"Everyone has their godamn game to play. An ancient city is going to be ruined, that is none of their concern!", Lan Yueyue cursed out loudly.

'Prepare our soldiers! We will be the first to attack if the devils aim their spear towards the Yellow stone city", she commanded with a clear melodious voice.

"City lord, my Yu family is with you"

"My Han family will also participate"

"My Cui clan will participate as well...", few people came to express their support. Many of them were from the Yellow stone city but some of them were from the Hundred blossom city as well.

Every cultivator in the Yellow stone city had seen their coward of a city lord who ran away as soon as he got the winds of devils emerging. But the city lord of the Hundred blossom city was different. They had witnessed how she had not flinched even once after seeing the unending stream of devils.

She had been rallying everyone under her banner since the beginning. And many clans and independent cultivators had joined her after seeing her courageous and righteous personality.

"Everyone, thank you for your support. We must ensure that we protect this ancient city as much as possible. All of your contribution will be written down. I promise, everyone will get their share of due if we somehow survive this dangerous situation", Lan Yueyue spoke.

"City lord, your words are enough. We are not here for some rewards to risk our lives", a middle aged man spoke. Lan Yueyue wanted to say something but suddenly her attention went towards the crowd of devils.

There were some unusual movement in the crowd of the devils. They were actually completely unruly but somehow they had calmed down completely.

They started to arrange themselves in an orderly manner and looked towards the biggest space crack with fervour and respect in their eyes.

Devils continued to come out from the space cracks but their numbers started to dwindle. Finally, some odd looking devils come out who had similar physical features like ordinary human beings.
