Chapter 704: Chapter 724: I Won’t Leave! _1

The City Lord’s Mansion had collected six million spirit stones, and Lin Chen and Situ Xiu had contributed an additional twenty-five million spirit stones. In the previous six days, they had already burned through twenty-two million of the thirty-one million spirit stones.

On the first day, they used up five million, and on average, they spent three million and six hundred thousand daily, which was much less than previously estimated.

From the fourth day, after Feng Jixin’s departure, the daily consumption of spirit stones decreased rapidly. However, this also made everyone a little uneasy.

Where did Feng Jixin go?

It was impossible for him to leave without a good reason; if he had given up on the operation, there would be no point for the others to stay here.

He would definitely come back, maybe with assistance or maybe with a secret weapon.

Worries aside, they still had to defend the city.

Lin Chen accepted the spirit stones brought by Su Mubai and finally said, "You look very tired. Go and get some rest. Take a break during the night and leave early before daybreak tomorrow."

Su Mubai shook his head: "I’m not leaving."

Lin Chen frowned, "It’s very dangerous here. If Feng Jixin reappears, there might be accidents. You might be in danger if you stay."

Su Mubai smiled and said, "Don’t worry. If there’s real danger, I’ll run. Besides, I’m from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. I haven’t made a move yet, so Feng Jixin won’t do anything to me."

Hearing Su Mubai’s words, Lin Chen felt it was reasonable and did not force her to leave.

Although the Shenghuo Sect was powerful, they wouldn’t want to make enemies for no reason. Su Mubai was a representative of the younger generation of disciples in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and her ancestral master was among the higher-ups of the sect. Before she made a move against the Shenghuo Sect, they would not interfere with her to avoid provoking the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

"Alright, you can stay, but you have to promise me that you won’t help."

Lin Chen added, "To be honest, if we can’t hold on, you, a Golden Core Stage cultivator, can’t do anything other than putting yourself in danger."

Su Mubai grinned, "I understand. If there’s a problem, just run! Don’t worry about me; I won’t take action, and I won’t be in any danger."

"Deal."

On the seventh day, nothing happened.

On the eighth day, nothing happened.

On the ninth day, after having breakfast, Lin Chen went to visit his senior sister Qiao Wei again.

Qiao Wei’s condition had improved a lot. Although she was still unconscious, the Divine Fairy Intoxication poison in her body had almost dissipated, and it seemed that she would wake up today or tomorrow.

Su Mubai looked at Lin Chen coming out and asked, "How is she?"

"The poison is almost gone, and she’s about to wake up."

Su Mubai smiled, "I hope she wakes up soon, and then this crisis will be over."

Lin Chen nodded in agreement, but his mood was not very bright. The disappearance of Feng Jixin always weighed heavily on his heart.

The attacks of Nascent Soul cultivators in the sky had become insignificant. After all, they knew Qiao Wei was about to wake up.

If Feng Jixin didn’t come back and they lost here, when Qiao Wei woke up and attacked them, wouldn’t they be waiting for death?

Aside from Feng Jixin, who could stop Qiao Wei?

At noon, under the bright sun, Lin Chen was sitting cross-legged on the high platform when he suddenly noticed something and turned his head sharply.

A black dot appeared in the distant sky, rapidly flying toward them and quickly reached the sky above Bai Tao City. It was none other than Feng Jixin, who had been missing for several days.

Lin Chen’s heart sank. As expected, this guy had returned.

Gu Yuanjie appeared in front of Lin Chen with a solemn expression and whispered, "If the spiritual energy shield is broken, you should run right away. Don’t hesitate."

Lin Chen replied in a low voice, "If the city is really breached, he will definitely come for me first. Bai Tao City is no match for the Water and Fire Mirror, and I have humiliated him so much; he must catch me to avenge his disgrace. At that time, you all need to take advantage of those people still not coming down and quickly run..."

Qingling clenched her fists nervously, "The city defense Array Formation is not so easy to break, right?"

Lin Chen whispered, "Let’s wait and see."

High in the sky, Feng Jixin looked at the group of people below and said coldly, "I will blast open the light curtain, then I will enter. When the shield disperses, you all enter and kill all the cultivators!"

Zhao Yutian, who had lost an arm, said resentfully, "We must catch Lin Chen. I will tear him into thousands of pieces."

Feng Jixin smiled slightly, "Don’t worry, after I enter, my first task will be to catch him. I will leave him alive for you."

Zhao Yutian showed a ferocious smile, "I will peel him off piece by piece, making him regret coming into this world!"

Feng Jixin nodded, his eyes filled with coldness.

He only needed to snatch the Water and Fire Mirror; as for Lin Chen, he could let Zhao Yutian kill him. If Lin Chen was really Shi Changsheng’s disciple, when Shi Changsheng sought revenge, Zhao Yutian, the murderer, could help to take the blame.

Feng Jixin waved his hand, summoning a spherical magical treasure about one meter in diameter. As he slapped the magical treasure with his palm, it suddenly emitted a blinding radiance and fell rapidly toward Bai Tao City’s spiritual energy shield.

In the blink of an eye, the spherical magical treasure descended several thousand meters and directly hit the top of Bai Tao City’s Spirit Qi Shield.

"Boom!"

Like a nuclear bomb exploding, the whole world shook violently. A gigantic hole with a diameter of several thousand meters was torn at the top of the city’s protective shield.
