Chapter 149: Remove the firewood from under the cauldron and close the door to catch the thief
The Infant Transformation Pill has been successfully refined, and it is time to go to Yuehe Fairy City.
After being certified as a fifth-grade alchemist, there are still ten days left before the three-month study of alchemy formulas.
Shi Chen, in a good mood, took his two wives and walked out of Linyang Fairy City without taking the teleportation array. He controlled the flying boat and flew towards Yuehe Fairy City at a leisurely pace, enjoying the mountains and rivers along the way and taking a leisurely time.
When they were still two thousand miles away from Yuehe Immortal City, a loud noise came from behind the three of them, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.
"Husband, did something happen in Linyang Fairy City?" Liang Ruyan asked worriedly after the sound of heaven and earth ended.
"I don't know if something big has happened. I think we should hurry to Yuehe Immortal City to see if anything big has happened." Shi Chen said, sending a message to Senior Brother An, asking about the cause of the loud noise in Linyang Immortal City.
The three of them took turns driving the flying boat and rushed to Yuehe Fairy City at the fastest speed.
When they were about 500 miles away from Yuehe Fairy City, Shi Chen was the first to discover the traces of sirens, and there were a lot of them.
At this time, the communication symbol also received the message.
It was a reply from Senior Brother An, saying that suddenly yesterday, the demon clan launched an all-out attack, and all the fairy cities on the second front of Dongzhizhou were surrounded by sea monsters, and the total number of sea monsters exceeded five million.
Currently, monks who are out cannot return to the city normally. The teleportation array has suspended all transmissions except for transmitting messages.
The sudden siege of the sea monsters caught the human race off guard, and the defenses of several immortal cities were already in jeopardy.
According to Senior Brother An, Linyang Immortal City is the most dangerous. There are no less than a million sea monsters besieging the city, and there are six combined sea monsters who are constantly attacking the protective formation, looking for flaws in the defense of the immortal city. As long as there is a chance, they will capture the immortal city.
There are seven human fusion cultivators in Linyang Immortal City, but they dare not leave the city to declare war, because the highest cultivation level of the seven fusion cultivators is only the sixth level of fusion, and the five fusion sirens on the siren clan are all in the late stage of fusion.
There is a huge gap in combat power between the two sides. The demons are desperately trying to break through the defense formation of the fairy city, while the human race is making concessions and does not want to be the vanguard in fighting against the sea monsters.
Senior Brother An told Shi Chen that if Linyang Immortal City was breached, their Yuehe Immortal City might give up and retreat to the Immortal City on the third front. Since Shi Chen was unable to enter the Immortal City, he could go to the third-front Immortal City in the rear first.
Shi Chen didn't think too much about it, and turned around with his Taoist partner and headed towards the third front line fairy city in the rear.
When they were a thousand miles away from Yuehe Immortal City, there were no more sea monsters. The three of them were not in a hurry to continue their journey. They took turns to control the flying boat and headed for Jilong Immortal City, which was the closest to Yuehe Immortal City, at a normal speed.
When they were about a thousand miles away from Jilong Fairy City, Shi Chen stopped the flying boat.
He was keenly aware of the danger and had already detected traces of the formation in his spiritual sense.
They ran into a large formation.
Shi Chen's spiritual sense could already cover a hundred miles, but after entering the formation, his spiritual sense could only sweep out fifteen feet, limiting the distance.
If it was Shi Chen a few years ago, because his formation decree was not of high level, he might be helpless against this formation.
Now, Shi Chen has been studying formations for several years. If he goes to be certified as a formation master, he can already qualify as a sixth-grade formation master.
After seeing Shi Chen call for a halt, Liang Ruyan and Xu Qianying jumped off the flying boat and sat cross-legged on the ground, throwing out formation flags from time to time and calculating continuously.
Even the most obtuse person knew what Shi Chen was doing, so the two of them had no choice but to stand behind Shi Chen and not disturb him.
An hour later, Shi Chen put away a yellow formation flag, let out a long sigh, and stood up.
"We have entered a large formation, a fifth-order mixed formation. Now everything is fine. As long as we are within three meters of this formation flag, we will not be restricted by the formation. In such a large formation, even a cultivator in the combined state will be in a mess when trying to escape, and a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation stage will also die if he is not careful. Cultivators below the Spirit Transformation stage cannot withstand the stranglehold of the mixed formation." Shi Chen said.
"Fortunately, my husband discovered it in time, otherwise we would have rushed in and died without knowing how." Xu Qianying said, patting her chest.
"Such a large formation covers fifty miles. I think it's not just here, there may be many more large formations nearby. It should be the backup plan of the Siren Clan. They know that the human race will retreat, so they set up the formation on the main roads about a thousand miles away from the fairy city in the rear. When they think it is safe and the defense is the weakest, the human cultivators will enter the formation and be strangled to death. In this way, the human race will be seriously injured, leading to the fall of Dongzhizhou. This move of cutting off the source of funds and closing the door to catch the thief is really cruel." Shi Chen's anger rose in his heart.
"The Sirens are so vicious that they can even play tricks. If such a formation is set up behind every second-line fairy city, it doesn't take many, just three or four connected together, then the number of our human cultivators may be reduced by nearly half. By then, the Sirens will be able to unify Dongzhizhou and eliminate some combined cultivators, then it will only be a matter of time before Dayu Continent is occupied." Liang Ruyan said worriedly. With many years of experience in the reconnaissance team, she has seen the seriousness of the matter.
"Yes, perhaps our human race will lose a continent. Unfortunately, our human race is like a pile of loose sand, alas!" Shi Chen said angrily.
"We are weak and cannot influence the war. We don't even have a say in the Human Alliance. I'm really unwilling to see the front line collapse like this. Husband, why don't we destroy these formations, so that we can save many human cultivators." Xu Qianying said dejectedly.
"It's not difficult to destroy this formation, but I estimate that this fifth-order compound formation will be guarded by a sea monster in the Spirit Severing stage. He should have a formation control flag in his hand. I can't destroy the formation silently. As long as the formation is destroyed, he will be able to sense us, and then we will be doomed. Forget it, we can't control the war, but we can save many human beings. I will send a message to Master and Senior Brother An first, explain the situation here to them clearly, and then the disciples of our sect will be able to leave alive." Shi Chen took out the communication symbol, quickly repeated the situation here, and taught them the method of breaking the formation, leaving a mark for breaking the formation, then took the two people's hands and drove away in the flying boat.
He believed that as long as his master received his message and came here, he would destroy the formation, kill the sea monster that controlled the formation, and save his fellow disciples who evacuated here together and the human cultivators who followed.
Shi Chen was worried that the siren clan would organize a combined sirens to snipe his master. If anything happened to his master, the remaining brothers and retreating monks would be wiped out by the siren army.
Shi Chen could only express his concerns at the end of the communication. If they had to evacuate, he hoped that his master could go with other combined cultivators, so as to at least reduce the risk of being sniped and beheaded.
It is not certain whether Master and Senior Brother An can receive the message. The Immortal City is under siege, the formation is activated, and everything is sealed by the formation. The communication talisman is valid for about a month. I don’t know whether the human race can reach a consensus and give up the second front by then.
