Chapter 685 - 685 671 Pressing on the City

Chapter 685: Chapter 671: Pressing on the City Chapter 685: Chapter 671: Pressing on the City “Quick, eat something my silly girl. Don’t overthink, everyone is delighted tonight. As long as they are exterminated, we can find Longhun tomorrow. Catch or even kill him directly, then it’s all over,” Xuan Hong said cheerfully.

But Xuan Si had a restless eyelid and shook her head in apparent confusion.

“Hey, what’s wrong? Isn’t our current situation good?”

“No, it just feels very eerie.”

At the third watch of the night, the Mitra Monk did lead people into the Lost Soul System. It was quite easy for them to enter, as on one side, Longhun pointed out the way, while on the other the members of the Xuan Clan, who were bumbling fools, led the way. Hence they faced hardly any obstacles.

The Mitra Monk saw Longhun, who was in a semi-conscious state.

“I’ve disturbed the young master,” the Mitra Monk said.

“It’s okay, I’ve almost had enough sleep. After dawn, the Xuan Clan people will find out. We must pass through before they do without any mishaps.” Longhun knew the urgency of the situation and didn’t want to delay anything.

Shi Xueqin also woke up.

“How is it on Mo Ku’s side?” asked Longhun.

The Mitra Monk replied, “Mo Ku has led the people from the Demon Palace and Immortal City into a canyon and trapped them there. He will try to detain them.”

It seems that Hu Nanyue was too careless.

Hu Nanyue and Mo Ku had fought twice, and each time, Mo Ku was repelled. The third time, Hu Nanyue wanted to wipe out this annoying group of people. He wanted them wrapped up like dumplings.

However, he never imagined that the third time they confronted them, it would not just be Mo Ku. The Slaughter Saint was there with more men than Mo Ku, setting a trap for them to fall into. So they fell into the trap as expected, trapped inside a canyon.

They are now having difficulty entering or exiting and are unlikely to break free anytime soon.

Longhun nodded approvingly, “Very good.”

“I bet they never dreamed that we would make our way out of the Lost Soul System so easily,” a subordinate from the back commented.

Shi Xueqin was gradually becoming more awake.

A subordinate from the back added, “Just as long as the Slaughter Saint keeps the Dragon Slaying Clan busy, if the time is sufficient, everything will be easy to handle.”

Noting the pitch-black sky, Shi Xueqin asked, “What time is it now?”

The Mitra Monk answered, “The third watch.”

“I’m still not fully awake,” Longhun chuckled.

“A bit groggy.”

The Xuan Clan people were unaware of what had happened. The huge bell atop the mountain, which hadn’t been rung in decades, suddenly rang out. This was a rallying signal, indicating danger.

Xuan Si appeared puzzled as she hurriedly got up. Without even putting on her shoes, she flew out of the yard.

She witnessed the flurry of fellow disciples outside, and immediately thought of the potential arrival of the Dragon Slaying Clan. A bad premonition surged, making her tense and frightened.

Meanwhile, Xuan Hong ran frantically towards her.

Xuan Si asked, “What happened, Xuan Hong?”

Xuan Hong replied, “The people of the Dragon Slaying Clan are here, right outside Demon Valley City.”

Upon hearing this, Xuan Si was as shocked as if she had been struck by lightning. “That’s impossible,” she panicked, “Just last night we had just wiped out the group led by Longhun. Longhun was busy running for his life. How could things change overnight? I can’t believe it.”

“It’s true. The Mitra Monk is also here, right below our city, with at least a thousand men.”

“How could this be?” Xuan Si was blank. She could hardly believe it.

“I won’t waste time explaining now. I’ll go ahead first. You should hurry over.”

Xuan Si sprinted inside to quickly put on her shoes.

In the temple, the Clan Chief was already there, as were Xuan Wen and Xuan Wu!

Xuan Wu kept his head down, like a child who made a mistake, not daring to speak.

The expression on Xuan Qian’s face wasn’t good, but now was not the time to get angry.

Xuan Si arrived quickly and could hardly believe that it wasn’t a dream. She asked, “How did the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan come so quickly? Uncle Xuan Wen, what exactly happened?” Last night, the Dragon Slaying Clan people were still trapped in the Lost Soul System. What happened this morning?

Xuan Wen said, “If my guess is correct, you guys have been compromised. Someone used you to find a safe passage through the Lost Soul System.”

After listening to Xuan Wen, Xuan Si was dumbfounded. She muttered, “So, what happened yesterday was just a setup?”

Xuan Wen listened and nodded, saying, “Yes, what happened yesterday was just a trap.”

“They just sacrificed eighty disciples as part of a trap!” Xuan Si was incredulous. No amount of conversation now could change anything.

Without their guidance, the Dragon Slaying Clan wouldn’t have been able to cross the Lost Soul System this quickly. Xuan Wu felt extremely guilty at this point, uncertain about what to do next.

Xuan Wen continued, “Now is not the time to discuss these things. We must immediately send a pigeon message to Guo Mingyu.” He was worried that the members of the Xuan Clan may not be able to withstand the Dragon Slaying Clan.

However, the Clan Chief just discovered that Guo Mingyu had been trapped in the canyon by another group of people. “They have fallen for the schemes of the Dragon Slaying Clan and are trapped within the canyon. I estimate that it’ll take them some time to escape.”

“We should still inform them that the Dragon Slaying Clan has crossed the Lost Soul System and is now at Demon Valley City. They need to hurry over here as quickly as possible.” Xuan Wen didn’t know if they could hold on, but they had to let Guo Mingyu know what was happening. Otherwise, the situation would become even more dangerous. If Guo Mingyu could arrive sooner, it would be even better.

The Clan Chief nodded and ordered that a pigeon message be sent to Guo Mingyu.

Xuan Si hung his head; the loss of eighty disciples was a terrible bait to lure them out and allow for a swift crossing through the Lost Soul System.

The Clan Chief looked forward and then behind, he knew what it meant if the Dragon Slaying Clan were to enter. He said, “Everyone, don’t just stand there. We’re obviously at our most dangerous point in Demon Valley. Countless people had to be buried here to deal with the Raging Wolf Clan in the past.

The reason we stayed here generation after generation was to fulfill a single task: to defend this place and prevent anyone from breaking its Seal. This is our only objective.

If the Seal is broken, all living beings will suffer. Even if we all die here, we cannot let the Dragon Slaying Clan succeed. We must defend this place.”

Those beneath him were speechless.

The Clan Chief continued, “We won’t go out to fight, just defend this place. Regardless of what methods they use, no one should leave. Whoever disobeys will be executed. There is no room for sentimentality.”

Everyone immediately fell silent; none dared to speak anymore.

The Clan Chief roared, “Has everyone understood my words clearly?” His eyes were already shifting towards Xuan Wu.

Xuan Wu felt bitter reluctance but also searing guilt. After all, it was his actions that had allowed the Dragon Slaying Clan to cross over so soon. He imagined they would still be lost within the Lost Soul System, buying them a few days at least. By then, people from the Demon Palace City would have arrived and the current situation wouldn’t have existed.

In a chorus, they all responded, “We understand.”

Xuan Wu’s voice was quiet, but the Clan Chief heard him and nodded.

The Clan Chief continued, “Xuan Wu will take charge of the left side, Xuan Lin the right, I will take the center, and Xuan Wen will be responsible for the inside of the city. No matter what happens, all of you, like nails, must hold your ground. Even if only one person remains, you must continue to defend.”

One by one, they all acknowledged his command.

The Clan Chief said, “All right, take your people and go.”

At this point, Xuan Si and Xuan Hong were still there.

Feeling guilty, Xuan Si said, “Father, let me help you.”

Xuan Qian replied, “In that case, you and Xuan Hong go to the back and assist Xuan Wen.”

Xuan Si knew that the front was the most dangerous, where they needed more people. She said, “I should stay at the front.”

Xuan Si, the only daughter of Clan Chief Xuan Qian, was not someone he was ready to lose under any circumstances. Furthermore, he didn’t know the abilities of the Dragon Slaying Clan, and said, “Si, you should go to the back and help your Uncle Xuan Wen. Winged Dragons might fly in at any moment, we can’t let them take advantage.”

Xuan Hong added, “Yes, there’s plenty to do in the back. If Winged Dragons are flying all over the sky, the Fireballs will be scattered everywhere.”

Xuan Si murmured, “Understood.” At a time like this, she knew she couldn’t worry her father any more than necessary; he needed to focus all of his energy on dealing with the Dragon Slaying Clan.

“There are enough people here with your father. Go to the back and help Uncle Xuan Wen; he needs your help more.”

Hearing this, Xuan Si went on her way.

The people from the Dragon Slaying Clan were right in front of them. The fog hadn’t completely lifted, and it wouldn’t until Longhun daybreak. The Clan Chief ordered his subordinates to rest well, preparing to launch their attack once the sun rose and the fog dispersed.

Staring at the Demon Valley nestled between two mountains, the bells from within continued to echo unceasingly in their ears.

Maitreya Monk said, “The Seal is between the two mountains, it should be within Demon Valley City.”

Longhun was squatting on a rock, staring straight ahead.

Maitreya Monk unfurled an ancient, yellowed map that had faded to the point of being nearly indecipherable.

That map had gone through several hundred years of existence; its colors had faded and the mountain ridges were blurry. Due to the dense trees of the Demon Valley, the entire mountain was thoroughly covered.

“Alright, go rest.”

Looking ahead, Xuan Qian was suddenly reminded of his ancestors. After they had settled down here, they built this city within the valley, generation after generation guarding it.

He never thought there would be a day when someone would discover the Demon Valley, and that his duty was to guard the Seal.

All of a sudden, he felt an immense weight on his shoulders. If the Seal were to be broken during his watch, he would fail his forefathers.
