The middle-aged man waved his hand behind him and said, "Let's do it. I hope the surviving cultivators of Magic Cloud City are not stupid!"
By the time Ancestor Free Cloud rescued Ancestor White Cloud, the entire Magic Cloud City had already descended into chaos. The cultivators were like headless flies, each fighting their own battles.
Xian Yun Laozu quickly gathered his disciples to form a Tao Soldier Formation to stop Mara's attack. At the same time, he was trying to break out of the city.
However, Mara's army quickly found Xian Yun Laozu, who was trying to save and gather his disciples. Two Jade Shuras and one Jade Demon immediately came after him.
The Free Cloud Ancestor couldn't split himself into two. He didn't have the strength to take care of the disciples who had gathered behind him. Half of the disciples who had gathered together with great difficulty were devoured by the Devil Luo Army.
Two bolts of lightning came down from the sky, each with a Jade Shura at the center. The shockwaves spread dozens of feet around them, and a dozen Demon Shura were killed or injured. The two Jade Shuras were struck by the two bolts of lightning, and their heads were spinning.
Yuwen Ke and Yuwen Jinglei came from behind Xian Yun Laozu and blocked the attack of the two Jade Shuras. Behind them, there was no one from the Yuwen family.
The Free Cloud Great Ancestor stretched out his hand and pulled out a cloud. An obvious concave shape immediately appeared on the cloud. Then, the Second Tribulation Spirit Treasure in his hand struck the Jade Devil, who was hiding among the Devil Luos and launching a sneak attack. The Jade Devil, who was hiding among the Devil Luos, was forced to retreat in a sorry state.
"Thank you for your help, my friends from the Yuwen family. Magic Cloud City owes your family a favor!"
Yuwen Jinglei used three thunderbolts in a row, turning the area around him into a lightning field. All the Mara in the field were turned into ashes. He shouted, "Old man, you are so slow. If we don't work together, none of you will live!"
Xian Yun Laozu rushed to the left and right. Fortunately, the two Asuras that had appeared in Mara's army did not appear nearby. Apart from the two Jade Shuras that were stopped by the Yuwen brothers and the Jade Demon that he had beaten away, Xian Yun Laozu only encountered one Jade Shura when he was gathering the surviving practitioners. The rest of the Mara who dared to attack him were all bloody Mara.
Even so, when Mara's army discovered that the Magic Cloud City practitioners had gathered, they began to surround them. The Jade Demon that had been chased away by Xian Yun Laozu had joined the battle against the two Jade Shuras that were fighting against the Yuwen brothers. At the same time, in order not to cause too much of an impact on the Magic Cloud City practitioners who had just gathered, the Yuwen brothers also tried their best to stop the three Blood Shuras. Even though the two of them had the special thunderbolt magic to restrain Mara, and they were the best among the practitioners of the same level, they were still beaten to a pulp by several Mara.
Fortunately, Xian Yun Laozu had once again gathered two mid Dharma elders of Magic Cloud City. One of them was Mu Yun Laozu, who had been seriously injured. He also found two early Dharma second generation practitioners, which increased the strength of the surviving practitioners of Magic Cloud City.
However, the speed at which Mara's army gathered had increased, and their attacks on the crowd were becoming more and more intense.
At this moment, Yuwen Jinglei shouted again, "Are you done yet? If this goes on, none of you will survive!"
Xian Yun Laozu also knew that he could not wait any longer. Once the Asura realized what was happening here and rushed over, only one of them would be able to hold him back. Without the leadership of a great practitioner like him, out of the two hundred practitioners who had just gathered here, only twenty would be able to escape.
The sounds of fighting, shouting, and screaming could still be heard in Magic Cloud City. Xian Yun Laozu gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"
Mu Yun Laozu struggled to support his seriously injured body and said, "Brother, there are still disciples alive. There are still disciples alive!"
Xian Yun Laozu's face had already turned blood red. He suddenly widened his eyes and glared at Mu Yun Laozu, saying, "Let's go!"
Mu Yun Laozu still wanted to say something, but he felt someone beside him pulling his clothes. When he turned to look, he saw that it was Bai Yunyun Laozu, who had also been seriously injured by the formation's backlash.
Seeing that Mu Yun Laozu had turned around, Bai Yunyun Laozu shook his head silently. Mu Yun Laozu looked at the disciples of Magic Cloud City around him, but he saw that all of them had their heads lowered, not daring to look at Mu Yun Laozu in the eyes.
Mu Yun Laozu immediately felt as if someone had pulled something out of his heart. His body, which had been forcefully supporting itself, suddenly became weak, and he no longer had any spirit.
The Yuwen brothers fought and retreated at the same time, converging with the surviving cultivators of Magic Cloud City. Yuwen Ke said in a deep voice, "Senior Xian Yun, where are we going to break out of the encirclement?"
Xian Yun Laozu gritted his teeth and looked at the remaining two hundred or so cultivators of Magic Cloud City behind him. He said in a deep voice, "Head northwest towards the Lingyun Valley!"
A small commotion broke out among the surviving cultivators of Magic Cloud City behind him, but it soon quieted down. Only Mu Yun Laozu's expression became increasingly gloomy. He lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking.
When the Yuwen brothers heard that Xian Yun Laozu was actually going northwest, their expressions changed immediately. Yuwen Jinglei wanted to say something, but he was stopped by a look from Yuwen Ke.
The Dao soldier formation made up of more than two hundred people advanced in the northwest direction. Xian Yun Laozu took the lead, and on both sides were the mid Dharma adepts of Magic Cloud City, Cang Yun Laozu, and Yuwen brothers. The remaining two early Dharma adepts of Magic Cloud City led a few Core Forging adepts and stayed at the back of the Dao soldier formation. On the other side, Mara launched a sneak attack from the back.
After advancing for a few miles, they had already reached the edge of Magic Cloud City. Along the way, many Magic Cloud City cultivators, who were either trapped or hidden, joined in. However, from time to time, cultivators in the Dao soldier formation would fall under the siege of Mara, so the number of cultivators remained roughly the same.
However, just as they were about to make their way out of Magic Cloud City, a furious roar suddenly rang out before them. The cultivators from Magic Cloud City fell into a state of panic. Even Patriarch Idlecloud was at a loss for what to do.
An Asura had appeared in the direction where the Magic Cloud City cultivators were heading. Judging from the roar, the Asura seemed to have noticed what was happening here and was heading their way.
At that moment, Mara's army behind the Dao soldier formation had already surged forward. The Magic Cloud City cultivators had nowhere to retreat to. Just as everyone was in despair, a deafening roar suddenly came from the south. It seemed as though a large group of cultivators had charged into Mara's army from behind.
Xian Yun Laozu's eyes lit up. It was as though he had found a life-saving straw. He made a prompt decision and said, "Head south!"
The Dao soldier formation quickly turned south. However, the Asura seemed to have sensed something and immediately sped up. Soon, it rushed out from Mara's army and rushed towards the Dao soldier formation.
Xian Yun Laozu leaped up, wanting to block the Asura.
However, two Jade Asuras suddenly rushed out from Mara's army and blocked Xian Yun Laozu. The Asura then rushed over and hit Xian Yun Laozu, sending him flying.
Seeing that the Dao Soldier Formation was like a piece of paper in front of Asura, and the cultivators of Magic Cloud City were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, Free Cloud Old Ancestor, who was flying horizontally in mid-air, suddenly saw a figure flitting past him.
When Xian Yun Laozu looked over, his eyes widened. He shouted, "Junior Brother Mu Yun, come back!" The person who had rushed forward was Mu Yun Laozu, who had been seriously injured. His rush was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. He could not withstand the power of the Asura's finger. However, Mu Yun Laozu had come forward to seek death.
Bang!
Mu Yun Laozu's body exploded. He used his body's cultivation as a guide, and the huge spiritual power storm created by his self-destruction formed a powerful shockwave. The two Jade Asuras were caught off guard. One died, and the other was seriously injured. The Asura let out a deafening scream, and the other Mara's army suffered heavy casualties.
Xian Yun Laozu tried his best to stop the trembling in his throat. He said in a sad voice, "Go south! Go south!" Due to the influence of Mu Yun Laozu's self-destruction, the people of Magic Cloud City were suddenly united against a common enemy. They erupted with a huge amount of fighting power. The Mara's army that was coming toward them was instantly defeated.
The Asura might have been injured by Mu Yun Laozu's self-destruction, but he did not chase after them. Yuwen and Yuwen were relieved. The Magic Cloud City cultivators quickly met up with the cultivators who were attacking Mara's army in the south.
"Demon cultivators!"
"Peacock royalty?"
Xian Yun Laozu was stunned, while the Yuwen and Yuwen had a strange look on their faces.
"Hey, guys, look who this is. Isn't this Old Man Xian Yun of Magic Cloud City? Why does he look like a stray dog? It seems that your Magic Cloud City has been destroyed. Doesn't that mean that there will be a hole in your so-called defense line?"
A strange cry rang out from the demon cultivators who were besieging Mo Luo, followed by a burst of strange laughter. All the demon cultivators chimed in one after another, "There's indeed another hole, and it's so big and so deep!"
"You can't fill it up now, can you?"
Xian Yun Laozu snorted coldly. He led the hundreds of surviving disciples behind him and said, "Let's go!"
However, before the Magic Cloud City cultivators could leave, the strange voice came again. It said, "What? Are you going to leave now? Us attacking the Devil Luo Army here can more or less be considered as supporting your escape. But you guys are good. You jumped out of the encirclement and turned around to leave without saying a word. These humans are really ungrateful! "
Xian Yun Laozu suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. He shouted, "Yang Jiexi, what do you want?"
"Nothing!"
A middle-aged cultivator dressed in luxurious robes parted the crowd and stood in front of the Free Cloud Ancestor. He was also a late Dharma cultivator, and from the looks of it, the Free Cloud Ancestor was rather familiar with him.
Yang Jiexi said, "We are still killing Mara's army here. Your Magic Cloud City still has some combat power. Do you want us to avenge your Magic Cloud City?"
Yang Jiexi continued, "It seems that you human cultivators have always been like this. You say good things, but when it comes to actual action, you can't do anything."
He ordered Cangyun Laozu to lead the injured among the remaining hundred or so practitioners to the Lingyun Valley, but there were still more than a dozen people who were willing to stay. Although Xian Yun Laozu knew that Yang Jiexi was provoking them, the Magic Cloud Sect should not retreat.
At this time, Lu Ping and the other two had already run around the original road and reached the boundary between the middle and lower reaches of the Qing Ming River. It was also the place closest to the Magic Cloud City.
