After the drums sounded, the mortals in the city hurriedly shut their doors and windows, each one in a state of panic.
They all knew that the Demon Sect wouldn’t spare mortals but would massacre for a blood sacrifice!
At the sa ti, the cultivators in the city also began to gather and mobilize.
Soon, a force of about three hundred cultivators was assembled.
The leader was naturally Shao Wenmin, and besides him, there were ten or so Foundation Establishnt Cultivators.
The rest were Qi Refining Cultivators...
At this mont, these cultivators did not look well.
So of the more timid ones were even trembling...
Lin Chen stood not far away, observing all of this silently, thinking to himself:
"Quite a number of people, but unfortunately just a rabble..."
Three hundred cultivators sounded like a lot.
But as Lin Chen scanned with his Divine Sense, less than a hundred of these three hundred cultivators were combat-capable.
The remaining two hundred were all in the early stage of Qi Refining, with most being just at the first and second layers, hardly different from mortals.
Moreover, most of these cultivators were from a loose cultivation background, far inferior in technique and cultivation compared to sect and family disciples.
"I wonder, how strong are those Demon Sect cultivators?"
Lin Chen felt a slight stir in his heart and transford into an Escape Light, landing atop the city wall.
He saw, a few miles away, a densely packed group of cultivators, numbering no less than three hundred.
With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Lin Chen raised an eyebrow.
"Compared to the Righteous Alliance cultivators, these Demonic cultivators are quite intriguing..."
With the sa three hundred cultivators, the quality of those Demonic cultivators was significantly higher.
No less than thirty Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, many of whom were in the late stage.
The remaining cultivators were all mid-stage Qi Refining and above, exuding a murderous aura, clearly experienced in battle.
The leader of those cultivators was a Fake Pill cultivator.
"Tsk tsk, if I hadn’t co...these three hundred cultivators outside could indeed slaughter this Xinliang City clean..."
Lin Chen thought to himself.
Though not as terrifying as the Ghost-Eyed Old Monster leading the team in Jade Belt City back then, these cultivators were passable.
Shao Wenmin led the three hundred cultivators to the city wall, looking down at the Demonic cultivators in the distance.
"Why haven’t you retreated quickly! I’ve already reported for reinforcents, and the Righteous Alliance’s army will arrive soon!" Shao Wenmin shouted from the city wall.
But the Demonic cultivators below were indifferent, wasting no words, directly attacking the city gate with their Magical Treasures.
With just a single encounter, the city gate several feet high was smashed down.
A large opening was also made in the city wall, and three hundred Demonic cultivators poured in, rushing into the city.
Shao Wenmin’s face turned ashen at this, quickly commanding his cultivators to counterattack.
Fireballs, water dragons, vines, swords, and spears...
In an instant, it was a dazzling explosion of Magical Treasures and Techniques everywhere.
But after a few rounds, it was clear the Demonic cultivators had the upper hand.
Whether in Magical Treasures or the cultivators’ cultivation, the two sides were not on the sa level.
Lin Chen stood at a corner of the city wall, activating his Protective True Essence.
He didn’t rush to make a move and continued observing the Demonic cultivators below.
"In this group of Demonic cultivators, hopefully, there’s no hidden Core Formation Old Monster?"
Lin Chen muttered to himself.
Although with his strength, ordinary Core Formation Cultivators were no longer a threat.
But caution is the parent of safety, Lin Chen had no ties to this Xinliang City or the Righteous Alliance.
Helping out appropriately for a reward was fine, but risking his life was out of the question...
A mont later, half of the three hundred Righteous Alliance cultivators were killed or injured.
The bodies of over a hundred cultivators lay scattered on the city wall.
The remaining cultivators were still fighting back, but many were trembling, clearly having lost their spirit.
On the other hand, the Demonic side had about fifty or sixty casualties.
But the rest were all fierce and brave, with over ten Foundation Establishnt Cultivators storming the city wall, about to take Xinliang City.
"Senior!"
In the distance, Shao Wenmin shouted anxiously.
He knew the situation was dood, and his only hope lay with Lin Chen.
"Hmm, it seems there’s no Golden Core Old Monster lurking in the shadows..."
Lin Chen thought to himself.
Then his figure flickered, instantly crossing a distance of a hundred feet to appear behind the Fake Pill Demonic cultivator.
The Fake Pill Demonic cultivator sensed the aura behind, his face changed drastically, ready to counterattack.
Yet Lin Chen rely punched out.
The Protective True Essence shattered on contact...
The force hit the Fake Pill cultivator’s chest, shattering his internal organs.
"Pfft~"
"You..."
The Fake Pill Demonic cultivator spat out blood, eyes wide open, slowly losing all signs of life.
After finishing off this Demonic cultivator, Lin Chen glanced around, mumbling:
"It seems there really are no other Golden Core Old Monsters lurking in the shadows..."
He felt a slight movent in his heart, taking the Storage Bag from the Fake Pill Demon Cultivator.
Then he turned to look at the other Demonic cultivators.
Over two hundred people, all staring in Lin Chen’s direction.
Their eyes widened, faces filled with disbelief.
"Elder..."
They couldn’t believe that such a terrifying existence was hidden within Xinliang City.
In a re confrontation, their Fake Pill Elder was killed...
Even Shao Wenmin on the distant city wall was stunned.
"This... Wasn’t that, that person a Fake Pill cultivator?"
Shao Wenmin swallowed hard.
He knew there was indeed a gap between Fake Pill and Golden Core.
But surely it wouldn’t be so vast as to not withstand a single move?
Lin Chen looked at the dumbfounded Shao Wenmin and the Demonic cultivators scattering in all directions, and transmitted a ssage:
"What are you still standing there for?"
Shao Wenmin imdiately reacted, shouting:
"All Righteous Alliance mbers, heed my command! Hunt down the Demonic cultivators in the city..."
Over a hundred Righteous Alliance cultivators heard this and instantly seed invigorated, furiously hurling Techniques at the Demonic cultivators below the city wall.
So cultivators, driven by emotion, continuously shouted vocally:
