It was obvious that it would be difficult for them to leave the city in a short period of time, let alone go to Ling Shan County City.
They had no choice but to stay in Eastern Pass City and wait until the Eastern Pass City repelled the Demonic Cultivators. Then, they would find a chance to go to Ling Shan County City.
After arranging accommodations for Xiao Chen and Xiao Chen, Qin Heng and several Sky Sword Peak disciples took the initiative to visit them when Xiao Chen arrived at his residence.
They were arranged to stay in East Pass City. In order to prepare for an all-out war with the demonic cultivators, the seven overlords had sent a large number of disciples to guard the four pass cities. Of course, heaven's prides like Xiao Chen were not included in this list. Unless it was absolutely necessary, the seven overlords obviously did not want to see heaven's prides fall.
Everyone was naturally happy to meet an old friend in a foreign land. As they chatted, Xiao Chen asked about the current situation in the Eastern Sun Region, especially about the Xiao Family and the East Sword Pavilion.
After learning that the East Sword Pavilion and the Xiao Family had not been attacked by the Demonic Cultivators, Xiao Chen felt relieved.
The current situation in the Eastern Sun Region was basically the Heavenly Chen Continent constantly wiping out the Demonic Cultivators. Occasionally, the Demonic Cultivators would choose to launch sneak attacks, causing the Heavenly Chen Continent to be exhausted. The two sides fought back and forth, so it was difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time.
In terms of overall strength, the Heavenly Chen Continent absolutely crushed the Demonic Cultivators. After all, the Demonic Cultivators on the Heavenly Chen Continent were only the remnants of the battle three thousand years ago. Naturally, they could not be compared to the Heavenly Chen Continent.
However, these Demonic Cultivators were extremely good at hiding, so it was extremely difficult to catch all of them in one fell swoop.
Just as everyone was chatting, the sound of war drums suddenly rang out. Hearing the earth-shaking war drums, Qin Heng and the others stood up abruptly and said with a gloomy expression, "The Demonic Cultivators are attacking."
The war drums were actually an early warning, which meant that the Demonic Cultivators were attacking Eastern Pass City. All the warriors stationed in Eastern Pass City had to immediately enter a state of combat readiness.
For Qin Heng and the others, they had gradually become accustomed to war. Although they had not been stationed in East Pass City for a long time, they had already experienced eight or nine big and small battles.
He stood up and said his goodbyes. After Qin Heng and the others left, Xiao Chen looked at the drunk Dao Master Danyun and guessed what Xiao Chen was thinking. Dao Master Danyun said indifferently, "If you want to go, then go. But remember not to leave the city."
Knowing that Xiao Chen wanted to see the war with his own eyes, Dao Master Pill Cloud didn't stop him. Although Xiao Chen was a proud monarch, he wasn't a flower in a greenhouse. Personally experiencing the baptism of war was a good thing for Xiao Chen.
With Dao Master Danyun's permission, Xiao Chen smiled and quickly left for the city wall.
Along the way, with the sound of the war drums, the entire Eastern Pass City seemed to have turned into a huge war machine, operating quickly and methodically.
Starting from the highest level, which was the Heavenly Pill Ruler and the Heavenly Wood Ruler, everyone was busy preparing for the upcoming war.
Warriors of the Dao Querying Realm and above swept across the sky and went straight to the city wall. On the main road below the city wall, many warriors of the Celestial Realm and the Earth Mirror Realm gathered and formed a square formation.
In an instant, the entire Eastern Pass City was shrouded in a dense murderous aura. In such an environment, Xiao Chen was also affected. He murmured softly, "Is this war?"
After thousands of years of peace, with the appearance of the Demonic Cultivators, the flames of war in the Heavenly Chen Continent were once again ignited. Stepping on the city wall, many people knew Xiao Chen's identity, but no one said anything. Now, everyone's attention was on the upcoming war.
Standing on top of the tall city walls, the entire Eastern Pass City was built in a valley. On both sides were towering cliffs that reached into the clouds. The Eastern Pass City completely blocked off the valley. It was located between the cliffs on both sides, blocking the way forward.
The valley was very wide, at least ten kilometers wide. At a glance, it looked like a huge dragon that stretched straight into the Eastern Sun Region.
Just as Xiao Chen looked along the valley, a dark cloud of darkness was rapidly approaching from afar.
It was not a dark cloud, but an army of Demonic Cultivators. In the sky and on the ground, there were Demonic Cultivators in black robes everywhere. There were definitely more than 200,000 of them.
"Was the information wrong? This army of Demonic Cultivators is definitely more than 200,000 … "Seeing this scene, someone couldn't help but say.
"Who cares how many they have? Our Eastern Pass City has five hundred thousand people guarding it. Furthermore, it's a natural stronghold. Even if they have five hundred thousand demonic cultivators, it's impossible for them to breach the city," said another person beside that person after hearing that person's words.
Occupying the Eastern Pass City as a natural stronghold filled everyone's hearts with confidence. However, no one knew how long this confidence would last.
In the camp of the Demonic Cultivators, there were a total of 10 super experts in the Tao Master realm. They stood in the middle of the army and looked at Dongguan City standing in the valley from afar. One of the Tao Master realm experts sneered.
"This time, Lord Demon Envoy secretly mobilized an army to attack the Eastern Pass City. It's funny that these idiots thought this attack was just a small scale battle, haha."
"This time, Lord Demon Envoy has gathered a million soldiers. As long as we take down the Eastern Pass City, the Heavenly Chen Continent will definitely be in chaos. This way, we can buy more time for the key to completely awaken," another Dao Master said.
This time, it was not an ordinary attack like before. The Demonic Cultivators were prepared to take down the Eastern Pass City in one go, thus plunging the Heavenly Chen Continent into complete chaos. For this reason, the Demon Envoy specially mobilized hundreds of thousands of people from the other three regions.
They were unaware that the Demonic Cultivators' operation was not limited to ordinary attacks, but to take down the Eastern Pass City in one go.
Hearing the words of the Dao Masters, a feminine young man beside them sneered. "I wonder if the Ten Proud Kings are in the Eastern Pass City. I've long wanted to meet the Ten Proud Kings of the Heavenly Chen Continent."
He was only at the Initial Earth Mirror Realm, but he was able to travel with a group of super experts in the Dao Master Realm. Moreover, it seemed that these experts were vaguely protecting the young man in the middle, which showed that the young man's status was not low.
Indeed, this young man was the son of a Demon Envoy and had a high status among the Demonic Cultivators.
Hearing the young man's words, a Dao Sovereign expert laughed and said, "Master, the Ten Proud Kings are not participating in the war. Perhaps the Heavenly Chen Continent wants to protect them. Therefore, I'm afraid you won't be able to meet them this time."
