Chapter 349: Chapter 348 They Are All Too Weak, Just Survive

Discerning individuals had already noticed that those attacking the city were several Divinity Transformation cultivators, but no one had imagined that these people were so ruthless and insane that they actually intended to annihilate the city.

Upon counting, there were seven Divinity Transformation cultivators.

Even though Yunmu City was a small city, it still had a population of over a million residents.

To slaughter the entire city – were they not worried about the karma?

Someone asked in shock, "Who wants to destroy Yunmu City?"

"They’re all concealing their identities." Such a situation was very rare in the Cultivation World.

Especially for Divinity Transformation experts, who carry an air of arrogance.

Generally, they do not act in secrecy.

The fact that there were seven acting in secrecy this time was extraordinary, and even the Divinity Transformation cultivator standing on Yunmu City’s side had concealed their true face. Some suspected that this person was the Divinity Transformation cultivator from the Xie Family.

There had long been rumors that the Xie Family possessed a Divinity Transformation cultivator.

At this time, there was a fierce battle at the North City Gate, with three Divinity Transformation cultivators watching the fight. In addition, at each of the city gates to the east, south, and west, a Divinity Transformation cultivator stood guard, ensuring no one could escape.

The current situation was extremely critical.

The Xie Clan Leader was leading eight juniors from the clan, including Xie Yue among them.

In addition were Xie Shen and his wife.

Xie Shen and Mo Lan had not intended to leave.

They wanted to give up their spots for the juniors, but if they stayed, Pulang would not be able to fight with peace of mind against others. As he said, if the Xie Family’s calamity was inevitable, he would take Xie Shen and Mo Lan away first.

Pulang was going to enter the battle.

It was Xie Shen’s request, not to seek victory, but to hope for some delay.

At this moment, the faces of the juniors were all filled with panic.

The oldest, Xie Yue, the youngest just six years old.

"This Transmission Array was left by our ancestors," the Xie Clan Leader said, masking the concern in his eyes.

The fact that it was left by the Xie Family ancestors indicated its ancient origin.

As for the exact destination of the transmission, that was uncertain.

According to the family records, those who had been transmitted away through this array in the past, some perished not long after, while others managed to survive.

After explaining the situation, he directed the ten people to step onto the transmission platform.

Xie Shen choked up, "Father, take care."

"Clan Leader, take care, we will do our best to survive," Xie Yue said with red eyes, as today’s parting might be forever.

A child said while shedding tears, "I will also live well, to bring glory to our family."

The other children all cried.

"Good, for the sake of the family, you must strive to live!"

The Xie Clan Leader felt a sting in his eyes but did not utter the words for them to seek revenge for the family.

They were all too weak; it was enough for them to merely survive.

Boom!

Boom boom!

Bang!

Apart from the North City Gate, the Divinity Transformation cultivators at the other three gates started to attack the ancient protective array simultaneously.

The forbidden area of the City Lord Residence was located underground.

The few clan elders guarding the core of the Formation turned pale.

The attacks of the Divinity Transformation cultivators were too powerful, each strike depleting the array’s strength. If they had stronger Cultivation Bases, they could perhaps hold on a bit longer, but it was known that they only had two at the early Nascent Soul stage.

The rest were at the Golden Core stage.

At this rate, it wouldn’t last much longer.

If it weren’t for dire necessity, the Xie Clan Leader wouldn’t activate this final escape route, because even he didn’t know where the Transmission Array would send people.

Who could guarantee that the other side of the Transmission Array wasn’t just as dangerous?

Clan Leader Xie clenched his teeth, activated the Transmission Array, and advised loudly, "Shen’er, survive!"

Survive with the hope of the family, survive!

...

At this moment.

A city between the Tianxu Sect and Yunmu City.

In the largest inn, some guests were chatting idly in the main hall.

Someone raised a question, "Why are families like the Nalan protecting the Xie Family? There’s never been talk of them interacting with the Xie Family."

"I know this."

"Come on, spit it out and enlighten everyone."

"So about this Nalan, they’re famous in the Southern Region, with seven members at the Divinity Transformation stage—impressive, right? They rightfully earn their title as the strongest aristocratic family in the Southern Region. To put it broadly, they are one of the strongest families in the entire Cultivation World."

"I’m saying, can you give us the juicy details? Who here doesn’t know that? No need for you to blabber on here."

"What’s the hurry? Doesn’t the Xie Family have a youngster who became Lord Chaoyan’s disciple? Lord Chaoyan hails from the Nalan aristocratic family in the Southern Region. With that connection, what’s wrong with protecting the Xie Family? Besides, the ancestors of the Xie Family have made remarkable achievements; some people would remember that act of kindness..."

In a city on the way back to Yunmu City.

Xie Jiuniang sat alone in a private room of an inn, ordering a table full of dishes, and brightly listened to all sorts of gossip from the main hall.

Upon learning that Chaoyan was from the Nalan aristocratic family, Xie Jiuniang was initially very surprised. This ancient family, which she had heard about in her previous life, had a long heritage, formidable strength, and were known to be fiercely protective.

It had always been greatly feared.

Before her death in her previous life, something happened to the Nalan family, and she heard that suddenly three members at the Divinity Transformation stage had perished, causing a significant stir in the Cultivation World. At that time, Chaoyan wasn’t her master, and she didn’t know much about him.

In this life, in fact, she knew barely more.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have just found out about her master’s origins with the Nalan family at this time.

It wasn’t that she was inattentive; it was merely that she was too busy with her matters to spare time to concern herself with her master’s private affairs.

"Could it be that my master asked the Nalan family to do this?" Xie Jiuniang felt a warm feeling in her heart.

"It’s possible."

Jian Lingyan wasn’t sure, "Out there, some people say it’s the few remaining ancient families empathizing with each other, banding together for warmth."

"Rather than banding together for warmth, I believe it’s more about not wanting to suffer if one’s neighbor collapses."

Families of equal strength are the ones that band together.

When there’s a disparity in strength, it’s about one side offering help to the needy.

After eating all the dishes on the table, Xie Jiuniang settled the bill and left, heading straight towards the city gates with the appearance of someone in a hurry to travel.

As soon as she left the city, she threw out the Broken Sword to fly.

Just that flamboyantly.

The Broken Sword flew forward at the speed of a sixth-layer Golden Core.

Just half a quarter-hour away from the city, Xie Jiuniang suddenly had a heart-pounding premonition.

As if something bad was about to happen!

Xie Jiuniang immediately transmitted her voice to Jian Lingyan, asking, "You wretched thing, is there any danger around us?"

"No, there isn’t. Lord Shaluo and a female cultivator are still following," Jian Lingyan initially trembled when he learned of his master’s plan.

For the first time, he felt that his master was courting death.

Previously his master had been cowardly and frightened of death, yet now, knowing she was being plotted against, she suggested using herself as bait and actively engaging in the scheme.

Xie Jiuniang suddenly stopped, "You wretched thing, I’m suddenly feeling uneasy, as if something bad has happened."

"I’ll check again."

Jian Lingyan thoroughly searched the surroundings once more, "There’s no ambush. Didn’t you say that in your premonitions, they gang up on you with more than ten Divinity Transformation individuals to share the backlash each time they kill you? There are only two now..."

Xie Jiuniang signaled to the Broken Sword, landed on the ground.

Then she threw out a small palace and instantly entered it.

This kind of feeling was rare for cultivators—it either meant that danger loomed over oneself, or that a blood relative was in trouble...
