Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 124 Battle of Cangyun City

As soon as the secret talisman was sent out, the entire city was covered by a green barrier. "We must find Gu Lan and the others as soon as possible and find out the current actual situation!"

So he went straight to the City Lord's Mansion and stopped asking for news about Cangyun City. After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, he directly broke into the main hall. Several people with high cultivation detected the aura of a strong man, "Who dares to trespass into my City Lord's Mansion!!"

As soon as the voice fell, several people launched attacks one after another. Mu Huayan floated in the air and defeated all the attacks with just one finger. "Mu Huayan, a disciple of Shenyang Tianzong, has been ordered by the master to help Cangyun City resist the enemy!"

"Is this how City Lord Gu treats his guests?" Mu Huayan retracted his magical powers and waved his hand, knocking several cultivators back one after another.

At this time, a woman outside the hall recognized the person coming and ran into the hall and shouted, "Everyone, stop it! This immortal is here to help us fight the enemy!"

Then he ran to the middle of the two parties and apologized to Mu Huayan first, "Fairy sister, they are the city protectors of my Cangyun City. I apologize for offending them just now."

Hearing this, several people clasped their fists and said, "Forgive us for our poor eyesight and for any offense we may have caused you just now! Please forgive me, Immortal Lord!"

After Gu Lan got the news, he hurried over from outside the palace, "Gu Lan greets the Immortal Lord."

Mu Huayan turned around and nodded, thinking to herself, "This person's aura is indeed different from the one who came to the sect to seek help that day."

"Then let me try you. If you still don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being ruthless."

So Mu Huayan asked tentatively, "This city is not in danger as City Lord Gu said before, but seems very peaceful."

"Your Majesty is wrong. Some time ago, the demons attacked our city wantonly, but they have been killed by our people. But..." When he said this, a look of sadness appeared on Gu Lan's face.

Song Qianqian, the guardian of Cangyun City, stepped forward and continued, "But not long after we left the city to seek help, the city was gradually conquered by the monsters, and more than half of the people died under the claws of the monsters. Until the next day, the dead people in Cangyun City were resurrected!"

Then her pupils revealed a look of fear. "Rather than saying it was a resurrection, it's better to say it was replaced by the demons. Right now, only the area within the City Lord's Mansion is safe, but we can't be absolutely sure that there are no demons mixed in here..."

One of the old venerables looked helpless and frightened, and sighed heavily, "We live in fear every day, fearing that we will be killed by the people around us one day!"

Mu Huayan thought to herself, "No wonder when I used my spiritual sense to spy just now, more than half of the people in the city were transformed monsters!"

"But why does this Gu Lan have a familiar aura?"

"Since I'm here now, what are your plans?" Mu Huayan said.

Gu Lan replied, "Does the Immortal Lord have a way to expel or kill all the monsters in the city?"

"I'm very curious about this. Your cultivation strength is not low, and there are no less than a hundred cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion. How come you can't even take down a mere monster that just transformed?"

Gu Lan was slightly startled when he heard this, frowned slightly, and then smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, you are joking. There are tens of thousands of monsters in Cangyun City. Even if we fight to the death, it will be difficult to kill them all."

Mu Huayan showed a hint of murderous intent in her eyes as she slowly walked towards Gu Lan, "And it seems that the cultivators in your Cangyun City are all very idle, so idle that they can kill each other!"

As soon as the words came out, Gu Lan would be lying if he said he wasn't panicking, but he quickly adjusted his state and showed a questioning look on his face, "What does the Immortal Lord mean by this?"

"Gu Lan, you are really cunning. I wonder how long you can keep pretending!"

"It's no wonder that City Lord Gu can't manage the city properly. After all, the entire Cangyun City is in danger right now, and the most urgent task is naturally to kill the monster."

Several venerables heard the hidden meaning, and one of the young male venerables stepped forward and said, "How dare you speak to the city lord like this!"

Mu Huayan gave the man a look and he backed away in fear. Gu Lan smiled and continued Mu Huayan's words, "You must not be rude to the Immortal Lord. It is indeed because I, Gu Lan, have not managed those restless cultivators well enough on a daily basis."

But he did not mention a word about those casual cultivators who hurt her. Gu Lan also knew that Mu Huayan was testing him. Mu Huayan thought to herself, "Hmph, Gu Lan, you will reveal your true colors sooner or later. It's best not to let me catch you!"

"We must eliminate the demons in Cangyun City as soon as possible. The longer we delay, the more likely something unexpected will happen!"

Mu Huayan came up with a plan, so she said, "Then please trouble City Lord Gu to hand over the command of the City Lord's Mansion to me."

Everyone: “What!”

"You are just an outsider, why?!"

Gu Lan's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, but he soon smiled and said, "Everything is up to the Immortal Lord, as long as we can kill the monsters in Cangyun City."

"City Lord! How could you!?"

"I've made up my mind."

"Then you should take a rest today, and we will continue tomorrow..."

"No need! Let's start planning now."

"Can you please give me a list of all the cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion, including the structural diagram of the city?"

Gu Lan waved his hand and a lot of golden characters appeared in the air. Mu Huayan took them all in. Then, streams of information poured into her mind and she digested the words in just a few breaths.

Then Gu Lan called all the monks into the hall and briefly explained the details and the whole story to them.

"There are four breakthrough points in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest of Cangyun City. Each breakthrough point will be guarded by a venerable with 20 monks. The rest of the monks will follow me!"

"But remember, this is not to kill all the monsters in one fell swoop. Your mission is to delay and kill as many monsters in the area as possible."

"Leave the demons in the city center to me!"

While assigning the task, Mu Huayan secretly threw a magic weapon into the air. It was a magic weapon called Lan Hucao that could make monsters faint upon smelling it.

Then everyone went to their own mission points. There was nothing unusual at the beginning, and almost half of the people passed smoothly.

Suddenly, four monks fainted on the ground one after another. Other monks stopped to watch, "What happened to these people?"

"Don't stop at all, get to your position quickly!" said Mu Huayan.

Three more monks fell down one after another, and Song Qianqian was about to go forward to check, "Why did they faint?!"

Seeing this, Mu Huayan waved at the fallen people, and the seven people turned into seven monsters. Gu Lan and the others were so frightened that they stepped back one after another, "Sixteenth-level monster! There really is a monster hidden in this mansion!"

Mu Huayan urged the sword in his hand to kill the monster in an instant without a trace of foul air, and then urged the magic weapon to cover the entire City Lord's Mansion, and used her spiritual sense to kill all the other monsters in the mansion!

Mu Huayan also took the opportunity to peek at the entire City Lord's Mansion and found nothing unusual. Then she led other cultivators to the center of the city to deal with the monster, but she still kept her eyes open and sent a clone out to follow Gu Lan.

Good news came from the four breakthrough points: the monsters were basically killed, and only a few monks were lost on our side.

In the center of the city, Mu Huayan killed all the high-level monsters with just a few moves. Only two eighteenth-level monster leaders were not dead, so they joined forces to fight a desperate battle with her.

The fight between the two sides was difficult to be caught by the people around. In order to avoid being implicated in the attack, the people who were originally watching the show around retreated to a distance.

At this time, Mu Huayan had fully demonstrated her strength, and everyone was shocked. "What! She is actually a quasi-immortal king!"

The two sides fought for several breaths in a ball of fire. The two monsters were naturally at a disadvantage. Half of the body of one of the monsters had been chopped off, but a new body grew out soon after. The other monster had lost most of its power and was now just struggling in its death throes.

During the third fight, Mu Huayan vaguely realized that the spiritual power she had left on Han Qixi had been dissipated. Her first instinct was, "We must fight quickly, Han Qixi and the others are in danger!"

The two demons noticed that she was distracted at the moment, so they teased, "If you get distracted during a fight, you'll die."

"The Wuji Liuguang Sword Technique, the second move, Han Chan!" As soon as the words fell, Mu Huayan was already behind the two monsters.

When the two demons came back to their senses, they were already frozen. "Second move, break the cocoon!"

As Mu Huayan flew out of the city, she launched a second attack. Countless black needles formed from her own spiritual power attacked them. Amid cheers, the two monsters were killed silently.
