Only a moment later, Yan Yun and others appeared at a certain gate of Tianxing City.
At this time, the power of wind and fire above the giant island was constantly impacting the light blue protective shield from all directions.
Even under the protection of the protective shield, the deafening and continuous thunder still made the mortals and low-level casual cultivators in the city feel extremely frightened and uneasy.
After all, everyone knows that although the protective shield seems to be indestructible, if it continues to withstand such attacks, it will only be a matter of time before it is breached by the force of wind and fire outside.
Yan Yun was standing at a corner of the city gate, looking towards the island in the distance.
There was nothing special about the scene outside the protective shield. It was just like when he first entered, his eyes were filled with blue-red light. Even with his magical powers, he couldn't clearly see the scenery further away.
He glanced at the city again and saw that more than two thousand low-level monks had gathered in a secret corner near the city gate.
They were either sitting cross-legged in meditation, wiping magic weapons, or sorting out talismans. They were obviously making final preparations for war.
The old man surnamed Zhao and the big man in purple robes also left the beast cart one after another, discussing something seriously with several other elders.
"Brother Yan, I have a request for you. I wonder if Brother Yan can agree to it?"
There were footsteps behind him, and before Yan Yun could turn around, a pleasant voice came first.
"What's the matter?" Yan Yun turned around, with no surprise on his face.
Ling Yuling was wearing a light green palace dress. Her expression was gloomy and her eyebrows were knitted together. It seemed that she had the courage to say what she just said after careful consideration.
"The next battle will determine the fate of my star palace. However, to be honest, the Counter Star Alliance has indeed recruited many masters who used to practice in seclusion in recent years."
"Even with the help of Brother Yan, our chances of winning are only 50-50. If we can win this battle, everything will be easy to say, and there is no need to trouble Brother Yan."
"However, if unfortunately we encounter a disastrous defeat, I hope that once Brother Yan is out of trouble, he can take away these people recorded in the jade slips and provide appropriate care."
Ling Yuling bit her teeth lightly, turned her jade hand over, and a light blue jade slip appeared in her palm. She looked at Yan Yun expectantly and said.
"Actually, it's nothing serious. They're just people with whom I have a deep family relationship."
"Although I firmly believe that very few people know the relationship between this person and me, once the war begins and the Counter Star Alliance intends to destroy them, I cannot guarantee whether they will be safe and sound."
"It would be better to ask this fellow monk to help us and send them safely away from here. I believe that you have other ways to deal with the various difficulties encountered in crossing the vast sea of stars."
Ling Yuling was filled with Tuogu's temperament at this moment.
Yan Yun stared into this woman's eyes and couldn't help feeling a little helpless.
However, his silence was not interpreted as rejection by her. Instead, she smiled and continued:
"Of course, I will not let you return empty-handed. I still remember clearly that my father had reached an agreement with you three times to provide assistance."
"Now that you are helping me fight against Wan Tianming, you have fulfilled one of the agreements."
"If you are willing to take on this task, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, do you really need to take action personally?"
"I will regard you as having fulfilled your second agreement. I wonder if this condition can satisfy you?"
"Fellow Daoist Ling, you must think carefully. I once promised your father that when your life is threatened, I will rescue you three times."
"For you to consume an opportunity so easily, I'm afraid it is not in line with the original intention of the Twin Saints."
Yan Yun pondered for a moment and said with twinkling eyes.
"Of course I understand this!"
"However, since I have become the Lord of the Star Palace, if this war really fails, then the thousands of years of inheritance of the Star Palace will be destroyed. What is the meaning of the remaining two rescue opportunities?"
"It's better to make sure my relatives are safe first."
"As for myself, with the strength of the mid-stage Nascent Soul, it should be enough to protect myself under normal circumstances."
The woman sighed softly.
Yan Yun looked at the sadness in her eyes. After a long time, he replied expressionlessly:
"Okay, since Fellow Daoist Ling is so insistent, I can accept this deal. If you lose this time, I will try my best to take them away from the Star Sea."
"With Brother Yan's words, Yu Ling no longer has any worries. I believe that with your great monk's cultivation, even if this battle is lost, it will be easy to escape unscathed."
Ling Yuling's face was filled with a smile, charming and charming.
Yan Yun just smiled slightly, turned his head and looked outside the city again.
After receiving the promise, Ling Yuling wisely stopped disturbing Yan Yun and left quietly alone.
A few hours later, after confirming that everyone was ready through telephony, the gates of Tianxing City opened in unison.
Tens of thousands of monks filed out of various city gates, quickly passed through the light blue light curtain, and disappeared into the green-red glow composed of the power of wind and fire.
This move by Xing Gong immediately attracted the attention of the cultivators from the Counter Star Alliance.
The Counter Star Alliance quickly dispatched a large number of monks to meet the enemy, while the remaining personnel used all their strength to drive the entire formation to reach its maximum power.
Although this array does not have much impact on monks above the level of pill formation, it is still extremely lethal to monks in the foundation building stage.
Therefore, when each wind and fire giant pillar in the array was activated, the originally calm blue-red glow suddenly violently surged, and each blue-red light ball gradually condensed into shape, and then exploded on its own.
Inside the formation, light was shining and roaring sounds were endless.
If an ordinary monk stepped into this magic circle unprepared, he would probably be swallowed up by the power of wind and fire in an instant.
In this huge and fierce battle, Star Palace has obviously made careful planning and preparations.
When the power of the magic circle was fully revealed, a colorful protective mask appeared on almost every monk.
These light shields blocked the fierce attack of the power of wind and fire. Although they failed to cause much damage to the low-level monks in the Star Palace, they undoubtedly played a vital protective role.
At this critical moment, the Counter-Star Alliance monks who launched attacks from around the giant pillars encountered opponents from the Star Palace.
The two sides soon started fighting fiercely inside the formation, and the shouts were deafening.
Almost at the same time, at a certain position on the edge of the formation, the top of a wind and fire pillar with a height of three hundred feet and a diameter as small as a small mountain appeared.
Several monks stood proudly, their eyes slightly closed and looking into the distance.
The leader was a middle-aged man wearing purple clothes, a jade belt around his waist, a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes.
With his hands behind his back, he was none other than Wan Tianming, whom Yan Yun had seen many times in Xutian Palace.
At this time, his expression was far calmer and calmer than before.
Not far behind him, there were also standing a pale old man and an elderly woman wearing bright red and green clothes.
The two men were also watching the battle in the magic circle, with serious expressions on their faces. "It seems that this time the Star Palace is out in force. They are actually willing to consume so many mid-level talismans at once. This is probably enough to bankrupt an ordinary sect."
The pale old man whispered to himself.
He was the monk named Long who fled in a hurry when Yan Yun broke into the magic circle.
"What the other party does is nothing more than sinking the boat."
"Perhaps it has something to do with the person who broke into Star City that day!"
Wan Tianming, however, looked calm and spoke in a gentle tone.
"From my perspective, it looks more like a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry!"
"However, Fellow Daoist Long! The monk who killed Fellow Daoist Hua is indeed unusually powerful. Even you and your companions can't resist it together."
The old woman's eyes flashed with green light, and she suddenly spoke to the old man. She turned out to be a strong person with middle Nascent Soul cultivation level.
When Yan Yun was mentioned, the face of the old man surnamed Long became more and more livid. He gently stroked the new arm that had just been transplanted through the secret technique. He was silent for a long time before answering with a wry smile:
"It's more than just powerful. Fellow Taoist Hua's strength is pretty good, but in front of that person, he couldn't even sustain a single move."
"If I hadn't used my secret technique to escape in time, I might have been lying there like fellow Taoist Hua."
"This guy's real strength is definitely not just a mid-stage Nascent Soul monk, but most likely a late-stage great monk."
"Later-stage great monk... Fellow Daoist Long, you may be too scared and have hallucinations. Apart from fellow Taoist Wan, which late-stage monks are there in the inner sea at present?"
"Otherwise, Star Palace had already taken the initiative to seek cooperation, so why would it have had to endure for so long, being gradually cannibalized by our Counter Star Alliance."
There was a trace of ridicule on the old woman's face, and she retorted mercilessly.
After hearing this, the face of the old man surnamed Long suddenly became extremely ugly.
"This is not necessarily true. In fact, after seeing the image provided to us by Taoist Fellow Daoist Long, I felt that it looked familiar."
"After careful consideration these days, I think I have guessed who this mysterious figure is."
"In fact, Mrs. Qiu should also know something about this."
Wan Tianming smiled slightly and actually said this.
"Oh, Brother Wan, can you explain it in detail?" The old woman couldn't help being surprised when she heard this.
"Do you, Fellow Daoist Qiu, still remember the rumors about the birth of the Xutian Cauldron hundreds of years ago?"
"And our Counter Star Alliance once issued a strangulation order to hunt down a monk named Yan Yun?"
Wan Tianming said leisurely.
"Xu Tian Cauldron? Yan Yun? Is this the monk who broke into the magic circle? Oh, it is true that the two of them look very similar."
"But this is really unbelievable. That young man was just a monk in the alchemy stage!"
The old woman reacted quickly, and after just a moment's thought, she suddenly understood, but she still kept shaking her head with a shocked expression on her face.
You don't need to be surprised by this.
More than a hundred years ago, before the Twin Saints of Heaven and Star fell, I had already obtained a piece of top-secret information.
It was learned that this person, Yan Yun, had quietly appeared in the area near Huangshamen as a monk at the Nascent Soul stage. Soon thereafter, he used the teleportation array of the Star Palace to personally set foot in overseas areas.
It was during this period that the two senior elders in the Star Palace seemed to have tried to recruit this person, but in the end they failed to do so.
"In addition, I am deeply concerned about the mysterious disappearance of Miao He and other Nascent Soul stage elders of our alliance, and believe that this matter may be closely related to Yan Yun."
Wan Tianming stared at the formation in front of him expressionlessly and spoke in a calm tone.
Elder Miaohe and Elder Huang Kun from Lilong Island, didn't they die after being attacked by monsters on Biling Island in the outer sea?
Upon hearing this, the white-haired old woman was stunned.
"This is just public information. In fact, according to the alliance monks who successfully escaped from Biling Island, the two elders did not return to Biling Island when the monsters invaded that day."
"However, according to our personnel, someone has witnessed the appearance of someone like Yanyun on Lei Kong Island where Elder Miaohe is located."
"And it was at this time that Elder Miaohe and Taoist Fellow Huang Kun mysteriously disappeared, and the soul lamps they left in the alliance also went out on their own."
"As for the invasion of Biling Island by monsters, it became a later incident."
Wan Tianming sneered and explained slowly.
"Even so, is it too hasty to conclude that the two Taoist friends Miaohe were unfortunately killed at the hands of others based on these circumstances alone?"
The old woman was silent for a moment and then asked a question hesitantly.
"Admittedly, we do lack conclusive evidence to point out that Yan Yun did it."
"However, if the person who broke into the formation is indeed this Yan Yun, and has the magical power of a great monk, then this speculation is probably not far from the truth."
Wan Tianming's eyes flashed coldly, and his tone suddenly became gloomy.
"If this person has successfully been promoted to the later stage, plus he holds the Void Sky Cauldron in his hand, and Brother Wan has just been promoted to a great monk, then wouldn't it"
When the old man surnamed Long heard this, he couldn't help showing worry.
"Haha, since I already know the existence of this person, how can I not have corresponding countermeasures?"
"Don't worry, everyone. It's okay if he doesn't come. If he dares to show up, just leave it to me to deal with it."
"Although there is no guarantee that he can be completely eliminated, Wan is still confident that he can be successfully defeated."
Wan Tianming smiled slightly, and his expression seemed unconcerned.
The old woman and the old man surnamed Long looked at each other with surprise on their faces, but then their moods gradually calmed down.
Based on their mutual understanding of the Master of Ten Thousand Sects, since he has made such a promise, it is probably true and trustworthy.
"Since fellow Taoist Wan has made such a statement, I can relax. As for the others, fellow Taoist Long and I will be responsible for dealing with them."
The old woman also responded with a sinister smile.
"For ordinary harassment, I will entrust the formation to two Taoist friends, and Wan will naturally feel at ease." (End of Chapter)
