Chapter 1038: Fierce Battle Again

Outside the Golden Light City, it was already surrounded by densely packed ghosts and yin beasts.

All the ghost pawns made a loud roar while impacting the Golden Light Array.

Because the Golden Light Army had abandoned many outlying fortresses before, and a large number of garrisoned disciples had withdrawn to the city, a very strong military force had gathered in the Golden Light City at this moment.

Above the outer city wall, squads of nervous garrison disciples had already formed solid defensive formations under the coordination of the garrison captains.

The command was given!

Crossbow bolts, crimson red balls, and light beams of various colors flew out from the city wall, drawing arcs in mid-air and hitting the surrounding ghost army! Light clusters and blast wind splashed around!

For a while, roars and screams were mixed!

Although the ghost army had been attacking at all costs, the well-prepared Golden Light City was rock solid. Instead, under the city walls, more and more corpses of ghost creatures and yin beasts were accumulating.

The noise outside the city shook the sky, but in a closed room in the main tower of the city, it was silent.

The old man surnamed Yao and the gray-haired middle-aged man stood side by side in the corner of an array with a solemn expression.

In the space opposite, there were 3 green light walls. The Celestial State powerhouses of the other 3 legions gathered here, but no one spoke for a while.

After a long while, the old man surnamed Yao coughed lightly and said first,

“Everyone must have received the report from the Taitian Fortress. These ghost army forced us to shrink the defense line, then they took the opportunity to attack Taitian Fortress. The situation is very bad at this moment. Once Taitian Fortress falls, our four major cities will be completely isolated.”

Hearing this, everyone present looked a little embarrassed.

When the ghost army attacked the outer fortresses of the 4 major cities, most of them advocated shrinking the defense line, which caused the current passive situation.

“It’s useless to say this now. The 4 cities where we are located are now under siege by a large number of ghost army. I’m afraid we won’t be able to send reinforcements to Taitian Fortress.” The middle-aged beautiful woman of Demon Mystic Sect said in a deep voice.

“As you can see below, most of the ghost army besieging our cities are some low rank ghosts and yin beasts. It seems that the ghost army has concentrated its main force in Taitian Fortress. Should we consider sending some elite disciples to help the Taitian Fortress?” It was the handsome man from Haoran Academy. There was another man in white robe beside him, whose face was blurred, but her graceful figure could be seen through the robe.

“This move is a bit risky. Although there are only low rank ghost creatures besieging our city, there are too many and their strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, the ghost army has come prepared this time. They may have high rank ghost creatures waiting for a chance to ambush. We can fall into their trap and lose people for nothing.” The middle-aged man with white hair in Nature Work Sect shook his head and said.

The handsome man of Haoran Academy did not speak anymore.

“Although the situation is not good for us, we shouldn’t be too worried. The Taitian Fortress has 4 Celestial State cultivators. We have also dispatched some elite disciples to assist. In a short time, the ghost army should not be able to capture the Taitian Fortress.” The Demon Mystic Sect’s beautiful middle-aged woman comforted when seeing the depressing atmosphere.

“In my opinion, since the ghost army is besieging our four major cities and Taitian Fortress at the same time, their troops must be weak and cannot last for too long. We should try to organize a counterattack and clear the ghost army besieging the cities as soon as possible. Once there is a chance, we will help Taitian Fortress. Everyone, this may also be an excellent opportunity to wipe out the main force of the ghost army under the Taitian Fortress.” The old man surnamed Yao suggested with a stern look in his eyes.

“Brother Yao is right, let’s do this. There is no other good way anyway.” The white-haired man in from the Nature Work Sect nodded.

Most of the others nodded. At this moment, the beautiful middle-aged woman from the Demon Mystic Sect suddenly said aloud.

“I heard that fellow Mr. Yao has sent your army’s array master, Nephew Disciple Cao to the Taitian Fortress to preside over the Golden Light Array a few days ago. Could it be that you had already anticipated the current situation?”

“How can I be so good. I transferred Cao Changhe there just in case the situation turns bad. I didn’t expect it to really play a role.” The old man surnamed Yao said.

“Keke, we really can’t compare with your far vision.” The middle-aged beautiful woman said with giggles to Yao Tianfu.

Others looked at the old man surnamed Yao with different expressions.

After a few people discussed the current situation at random, they ended the communication and started to act separately.

After the old man surnamed Yao and the gray-haired middle-aged man walked out of the secret room, they appeared in the circular corridor of the tower. From here, they could clearly see the dense ghost army on all sides of Golden Light City.

After the old man surnamed Yao looked around, there was a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

“Brother Yao, what’s wrong?” The gray-haired middle-aged man noticed the change in the old man surnamed Yao and asked.

“It’s nothing. I just feel a little strange that the ghost army is able to split into 5 directions and surround our 4 major cities and Taitian Fortress at the same time. This force is really beyond our expectations.” The old man Surnamed Yao said.

“This is not the time to think about this. The most urgent task is to come up with a way to deal with the ghost army outside the city. When necessary, you and I will also take action.” The gray-haired middle-aged man looked outside the city and said lightly.

“You’re right.” The old man surnamed Yao nodded.

“Under the current circumstances, should we inform Master’s Junior Huo Ye of the situation here?” The gray-haired middle-aged man thought of something sudddenly.

“Let’s wait for a while. Although the situation is critical now, there is no need for Master’s Junior Huo Ye to take action…” The old man surnamed Yao said after thinking about it.

The gray-haired middle-aged man was silent for a while, then he nodded.

After that, they left here quickly.

…

Over Taitian Fortress, the giant mountain phantasm, which covers the sky and the sun, is less than 20cm, but it is still majestic and majestic, so that the ghost pawns in all directions can only stop and look far away, but they dare not easily take another step across the thunder pool.

Around the fortress, the corpses of ghost pawns were piled up like a mountain, and the rolling gray ghost mist was still lingering, making the entire Taitian Fortress appear and disappear like a cloud and mist.

After another half day, the giant mountain phantasm above the fortress finally began to become blurred and slowly dissipated.

This made the four major legions’ disciples, who were in their position on the city walls, tense.

Everyone had a solemn expression. They all knew what the disappearance of the giant peak phantasm meant!

Almost the moment the giant peak disappeared completely, the screams of ghost creatures immediately came from the rolling ghost mist in all directions!

The fierce battle broke out once again. Countless black ghost pawns attacked Taitian Fortress like a tide from all directions.

Fortunately, after a short period of repair, the silver light curtain protecting the entire fortress became a lot more solid, which made all the garrison disciples feel more confident.

On the central square of the fortress, countless golden light beams shot out from the fortune bowl on the middle tower again. After being refracted by the 6 surrounding towers, the golden lights swept out and eliminated countless ghost creatures in an instant.

However, sitting on the high platform at this moment was not the cultivators of the Real Pellet State and Pseudo Pellet State such as Liu Ming, but the 36 ordinary Crystallization Period disciples temporarily recruited by Cao Changhe from the Golden Light Army and the Haoqi Army.

Even the Golden Light Array’s power was not as powerful as before, it could still exert half of its power under the control of Cao Changhe.

After all, there had just been a war, which had lost many puppets and disciples. At this moment, the battle strength in the city was lacking. Liu Ming and other powerful people had long been scattered on the 4 sides of the city wall to resist the ghost creatures with other disciples.

Liu Ming and Xiao Wu, and a few others were still in charge of the north wall.

Standing on the city wall, he glanced at the 8 wolf-shaped yin beasts in front of the city wall. He waved and released the Bitter Wheel Sword. The sword light flashed, and countless purple light arcs burst out like a big net.

The sharp whistles sounded!

The 8 wolf-shaped yin beasts were beheaded by the crisscrossed purple sword lights. Their large bodies fell below the city wall.

While channeling the Bitter Wheel Sword to turn around, Liu Ming flew toward the ghost pawn phalanx on the other side. He frowned after looking at the situation.

From the very beginning of the war, he had discovered that there were many different kinds of yin beasts in this ghost army.

Moreover, although the number of ghost creatures in this siege was much larger, there were very few high rank ones. Almost none of the ghost captains of the Real Pellet State were seen.

On a tower near the north city wall of Taitian Fortress, the 4 Celestial State cultivators were standing here.

“The situation seems to be a little off. There are a lot of ghost creatures attacking this time, but there are very few high rank ghost creatures.” The old man surnamed Fang from the Nature Work Sect said.

“What is the ghost army trying to do? With these low rank ghost creatures, no matter how many they are, it is impossible to conquer this fortress.” The black burly man of the Demon Mystic Sect, who was carrying a huge rock, said slowly.

“Could it be… some kind of plan?” Taiqing Sect, the old man with a bottle nose also frowned.

Hearing this, everyone fell into contemplation.

From the beginning of this once-in-a-century war, the ghost army had uncharacteristically continued to use various tricks. This siege was obviously not as simple as it seemed.

“Anyway, before the reinforcements arrive, it can’t go wrong with defending the city first.” Demon Mystic Sect’s burly man said.

The other three nodded again and again.
