Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 545 – Siege

At the southernmost Southern Viewing County of the Pure County, Yang Junshan arrived at this county after jumping over the Coldjade mountain range. Now, he planned to leave the Liang Zhou and cross over the Coldjade mountain range to enter the Yuzhou.

Yang Junshan went down south. When he entered the borders of Southern Viewing County, and just as he landed on the ground from mid-air, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The nine man true energy that he had cultivated was abnormally sensitive to the earth. Adding on the clematis and other abilities that he had learned, the moment his feet landed on the ground, he immediately felt a slight vibration coming from the ground far away.

Was this an earthquake, or a volcanic eruption, or was there a Great Divine Cultivator fighting spirit?

However, one thing was certain, the place of the explosion must have been thousands of miles away, and that place should have been deep within the Coldjade mountain range.

Yang Junshan headed towards the south at a moderate pace, and after about five hundred kilometers, intense spirit energy turmoil suddenly came from a few hundred kilometers away in the south.

Yang Junshan’s expression changed. He estimated from the distance that his spirit energy was fluctuating that he was almost in the direction of the Southern Viewing City.

From a geographical point of view, the Southern Viewing County was indeed located in the center of the Southern Viewing County. However, because there were countless wild beasts and savage beasts threatening the entire Liang Yu mountain range, the center of gravity of the entire county shifted to the north, while the southern region near the Liang Yu mountain range was sparsely populated. This led to the entire Southern Viewing County becoming a bridgehead fortress facing the Liang Yu mountain range.

Thinking of the possibility of an earthquake from the depths of the Liangyu Mountain Range, could it be that the Southern Viewing City was being attacked by a beast tide?

Perhaps it was because of this, but they might have already rushed out of the Cold Jade Mountain Range before the earthquake happened. If this was the case, then there waossibility that they might have formed a beast tide that would attack the county.

Just as Yang Junshan was rushing towards the Southern Viewing County, Adept Jing Chen, who was in charge of all the matters in Nan Wang County, was listening to the reports of the sect disciples on top of the city walls.

A wave of beasts surged out from the Liang Yu mountain range. There were roughly ten thousand beasts in the NanWang County, and about two-thirds of them headed towards the Southern Viewing City.

The Adept Jing Chen sealed the city gates in time and activated the great defensive array, blocking the first attack of the beast tide.

Senior Brother, out of the ten outposts located at the southern border of the county, six of them have already lost contact. The remaining four outposts and eight disciples of our sect have been injured as well, and are currently avoiding the pursuit of wild beasts. From the information they have received, it should be a large earthquake in the Coldjade mountain range, causing the beasts there to swarm out.

Adept Jing Chen raised his head to look at the sky, and next to him, a fellow disciple at the Great Perfection Stage followed Adept Jing Chen’s gaze to look at the sky, but discovered that other than the surging clouds, there was nothing in the sky.

Adept Jing Chen asked: “Junior brother Lin, do you know if the beast tide has occurred in the surrounding counties, and if the news of the beast tide attack has already spread to the sects?”

Lin nodded and said, “The news has already been sent back to the sect, but there has yet to be any feedback from the surrounding counties.”

Adept Jing Chen’s gaze was still on the sky. He did not even bother to look at the crowd of beasts that had gathered outside the city, and asked again: “Did you send a message to the Zhou and Cai families? What did they say?”

Lin Lin’s expression did not look too good as he said: “The Zhou and Cai Family replied that there was also a monster tide roaming outside their family’s manor. Heh, they said that they would rush to the county town to assist once all the surrounding beasts have been cleared.”

The Adept Jing Chen sneered, then said: “Since the two families do not know what’s good for them, then there’s no need for Master to take care of them, and tell them that they have to rush to the county city within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, if not, once the county city is destroyed, the two families will no longer have any need to exist in Nan Wang County, what is going to happen to them?”

Lin Jing nodded his head and said, “It should be so. These family forces want to value their own interests more than anything else. If it were not for the protection of the sect, this Nanwan County would have been plowed by the beast tide countless times already!”

Lin Fan paused for a moment before continuing, “However, Senior Brother, although this beast tide is not small, there are no dire beasts leading it. That Zhou and Cai family may be hateful, but aren’t they making a big fuss over nothing?”

Adept Jing Chen finally turned around and expressionlessly looked at Jing Lin. He said in a heavy voice, “I’m afraid this matter is even more complicated than you think!”

Just as Adept Jing Chen’s voice fell, a cold cry suddenly sounded out from above them, the clouds in the sky immediately churned, and a pair of giant golden claws suddenly stretched out from within the clouds. As the gigantic claws descended, the entire cloud layer started to sink, and then abruptly burst outwards, a gigantic body suddenly swooped down from the clouds, witair of wings as wide as fifteen meters.

“White-headed Eagle, it’s the dire beast, White-headed Eagle!” Lin Lin exclaimed.

While speaking, the giant hawk had already swooped down, and the big formation protecting the entire county city was immediately ripped apart by a pair of huge claws, causing exclamations and screams to immediately resound from the county. Quite a few courageous Martial Realm Cultivator all sent their respective sacred arts to the giant eagle, but were unable to harm it at all.

“Evil creature, how dare you!”

Adept Jing Chen suddenly roared out and rushed towards the giant hawk’s stomach. While he was still in mid air, he had already turned into a giant ice spike.

The giant eagle instantly felt the threat and flapped its wings. Violent winds rose into the air, and dust and dust rose from the ground at a distance of over ten Zhang, as its entire body shot up high into the sky.

“Chi chi.” Although the icicle pierced through the air, the cold air seemed to carry a sticky substance as it pulled a few feathers off the eagle’s tail feathers.

Adept Jing Chen was able to repel the notorious White-headed Giant Hawk in the Colored Jade Mountain Range in a single move, causing the defending cultivators to immediately cheer.

Moo!

But right after, an earth-shattering roar of cattle drowned out the cheers, causing the smiles on everyone’s faces to freeze on them.

The sound of heavy footsteps suddenly came from the wilderness outside the county, and the sound was getting faster and closer. Even the ground began to shake, and ripples began to appear on the surface of the water in the tank.

A huge bull over seven feet long and five feet tall came running over. The beasts that had been trying to avoid it along the way were either stomped or knocked into the ground. Its pair of sharp curved horns was more than two feet long, and it looked even more terrifying than a pair of scimitars.

The Mountain Crash Bull, the one that had grown into a dire beast, truly had the power to crash into a mountain!

Seeing that the huge cow was about to collide into the protective shield of the protective array, Adept Jing Chen knew very well that even if the array could withstand it this time, if the huge cow were to come again two or three times, the entire protective array would probably crumble as well.

Adept Jing Chen formed a seal with his hands and shouted: “Firm!”

An ice wall instantly formed in front of the protective array, but immediately after, it was turned intile of crushed ice by the Mountain Colossal Bull. However, this ice wall eventually slowed down the Mountain Bull’s charge, and when it finally slammed into the protective array, its speed was clearly greatly reduced.

Even so, the light barrier of the defensive array had already caved in due to the impact from the giant bull. It was aware that the giant ox had slammed into the wall of the county.

The entire city wall shook along with it, and countless shards of sand and bricks fell from the city wall with a “hualala” sound. Many early stage martial arts realm cultivators fell from side to side, and when they looked at the mountain bulls, their eyes were filled with fear.

“Two dire beasts!”

He immediately shut his mouth, and heard the Adept Jing Chen ask: “If it was from a sect, how long would it take?”

Lin Lin didn’t know how to respond, when a long howl came from the distance. There, on a small hill about three to five miles away from the county, a giant, silver-gray wolf was squatting and howling towards the sky.

More than ten giant wolves, each over five feet tall, appeared one after another behind the small hill, each with the strength of a savage beast. The wolves looked towards the direction of the city from afar, and as the Silver Grayhead Wolves suddenly jumped off the hill, the ten giant wolves hurriedly followed. A wolf with only a dozen or so heads, unexpectedly, gave off a domineering aura as it ran, and along the way, the giant beasts all retreated to either side to make way for them.

“Wild Wolf!” He immediately understood the reason why Adept Jing Chen had asked him about the arrival of reinforcements from the sect. It was already difficult for Adept Jing Chen to fend off two dire beasts by himself, but if the three dire beasts attacked the county city at the same time, he could only choose to escape.

Fortunately, at this time, another two streams of light came from behind the city wall, one of them was a middle-aged cultivator with a face full of white hair, and the other one was a muscular man with a curly beard.

“Haha, Fellow Daoist Pure Dust, there’s no need to panic. I’m here with Fellow Daoist Cai!”

The burly, bearded man laughed as he spoke. He swept a glance at the situation in the city, then turned to the middle-aged cultivator with the white beard and said: “Fellow Daoist Cai, it seems that we came at the right time. If we had been any later, Fellow Daoist Pure Dust might have been able to fight against the three beasts by himself.”

Taoist Cai also laughed and said, “As the saying goes, ‘better come than better come by coincidence!'”

Adept Jing Chen’s gaze flashed with ridicule, and then looked towards the gathering of more and more beasts below the city, and muttered: “Coincidentally, it really is, if you guys were a little later, I’m afraid that you would have been scared to the point of not daring to come anymore!”

“Phew! Phew! Phew!” A giant pig suddenly lowered its head to sniff the ground as it moved towards Southern Gaze County. Along the way, all the other beasts were knocked over by the giant pig.
