On the third morning of Zhao Hai's return to Sealed Sword City, Zhao Hai had just finished his morning ritual and was about to have his breakfast when he suddenly heard a commotion outside. A lot of people were running around and shouting. However, it didn't take long before the commotion calmed down. Then Zhao Hai saw a few cultivators on flying swords flying over the city. As they flew, they shouted, "People of Sealed Sword City, listen up! A large number of beasts have appeared outside the city. They might attack the city in the near future. People of Sealed Sword City must not panic, don't make a ruckus." Then the cultivators were sent away.
Zhao Hai looked at the cultivators who flew away. Seeing the strange sword that looked like a tree branch, Zhao Hai knew that they were from the Sealed Sword Sect. It seems like the beasts were really going to attack the city. Otherwise, the people from the Sealed Sword Sect wouldn't have come out to warn them.
At this time, a monk came to Zhao Hai's side and bowed to Zhao Hai, "Master Jing Hai, Master Yuan Jing is looking for you. He wants to discuss the matter of the gathering of monks."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Let's go." After he said that, he turned around and walked towards the second courtyard. Now, the second courtyard had almost become the territory of the monks. Although the monks didn't chase anyone away, and the food was served in the second courtyard, the monks who didn't join the monks would still consciously leave the second courtyard. After all, the second courtyard was filled with monks, and they weren't used to it.
When Zhao Hai entered the courtyard, he found that there was a meal being served in the courtyard. Yuan Jing and the others each received a bowl of rice, and they were eating while chatting.
Zhao Hai took out his own bowl and also received a bowl of rice. Then he walked towards Yuan Jing and the others. When Yuan Jing and the others saw Zhao Hai, they all gave him a one-handed salute. Zhao Hai directly sat down on the ground and looked at Yuan Jing and the others, "Master Yuan Jing, why did you call me over?"
Yuan Jing replied, "You should have heard about the Sealed Sword Sect's announcement. Tell me, what do you think? "
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "I don't have any ideas. This day will come sooner or later. But for us, this is an opportunity. We can use this opportunity to bring more people into the Monk Assembly. Naturally, I'm talking about the Monks, not other people." Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "That day will come sooner or later.
Yuan Jing nodded and said, "I also think so. I also want to bring more people into the Gathering of Monks. This is indeed an opportunity. But what do you think about the demon beasts attacking the city?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "We don't have any opinions, we don't need any opinions. This is Sealed Sword City, the Sealed Sword Sect is in charge here. If you don't go, then you'll die. But if you go, then you might be able to obtain great benefits." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I don't have any opinions.
Yuan Jing said, "We're not thinking about not going. In fact, we're already planning to take the initiative to go. This way, we'll leave our name in the Sealed Sword Sect. This will be very beneficial for us in the future."
Zhao Hai didn't think that Yuan Jing would be able to think of this point. It seems like Yuan Jing was a very good person. So he nodded and said, "This is a good idea. But how do you plan to go down this path? If you want to go, you can't just go to the Sealed Sword Sect and tell them that you want to participate. I'm afraid that they won't agree. "
Yuan Jing smiled faintly and said, "Of course we can't go. But there's someone who can. Master Hui De has been in charge of the monastery for many years. He's the most suitable person for this matter. What do you think?"
Zhao Hai stared, then he nodded and said, "Amitabha. Master Hui De is a suitable person. He's the person who was appointed by the Sealed Sword Sect to manage the monastery. He's the most suitable person for this matter. I think it's feasible."
Yuan Jing nodded, "Alright, it's good that you agree. How about this, after eating, I'll go look for Master Hui De and ask him to talk to the Sealed Sword Sect. Let's see what kind of reaction the Sealed Sword Sect has. No matter what, we've already passed on the message. This should leave an impression on the Sealed Sword Sect."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, Master Yuan Jing will be the one to handle this matter. You're now our Sect Leader. Since everyone has agreed to this decision, then we can only have you communicate with the people from the Sealed Sword Sect."
Yuan Jing chanted Buddha's name and said, "Amitabha, this is what this Poor Monk should do."
Everyone chanted Buddha's name as well. Then they lowered their heads and ate. After eating, Yuan Jing went to look for Hui De. At the same time, Zhao Hai didn't return to his room. Instead, he sat in the courtyard and chanted while waiting for Yuan Jing's news.
An hour later, Yuan Jing returned to the courtyard. His face was filled with excitement, but at the same time, he was also a little nervous. He stood in the courtyard and looked at all the monks in the courtyard. These monks were all gathered by the monks, and they were all waiting for Yuan Jing's news.
Yuan Jing looked at everyone, then he clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha. Masters, the Sealed Sword Sect has agreed to let us help defend the city. We'll set out now and head to the northern part of the city. We'll be guarding the northern part of the city."
Everyone chanted Buddha's name as well. Then they returned to their rooms. Some went to prepare while others went to pack up their things. Before long, everyone arrived at the courtyard. Yuan Jing was already prepared. Zhao Hai was also prepared. In fact, every time he left his room, he would take his things with him. Because of this, he didn't need to pack up anything.
Yuan Jing glanced at the people who were ready and said in a deep voice, "Amitabha, let's go." After saying that, Yuan Jing turned around and led the people out of the temple.
When the other monks in the monastery saw this, they couldn't help but stare blankly. They didn't know what was going on with the monks today. Weren't they supposed to be very low-key? Why did they go out this time? What did they want to do?
It didn't take long for them to find out what the monks were going to do. When they heard that the monks took the initiative to help defend the city, many people laughed at them for being silly. However, there was another monk who had a thoughtful expression on his face. Then he immediately chased after them.
These monks who chased after Yuan Jing weren't members of the Buddhist community. But after they caught up with Yuan Jing, they all asked to join the monks and defend the city.
Naturally, Yuan Jing didn't object. This caused the number of monks to increase. Zhao Hai was standing behind Yuan Jing. He didn't say anything. The development of the Buddhist community wasn't within his consideration. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so indifferent about it.
Before long, the group arrived at the northern part of the city. At this time, there were almost no people in the city. The streets were empty, so they were able to walk very quickly.
When they arrived at the northern part of the city, a group of people from the Sealed Sword Sect came to greet them. The leader of this group was a Spirit-Refining Cultivator. He looked at Yuan Jing and the others before he clasped his hands and bowed. Then he looked at Yuan Jing and said, "Is this Yuan Jing's Master?"
Yuan Jing quickly replied, "This poor monk is indeed Yuan Jing. These are all the monks of the Buddhist community. We volunteered to help defend the city. Sir, please assign us."
The man nodded and said to Yuan Jing, "Please come with me. I have received a notice from above. All of you will be assigned to defend a section of the city wall that is one mile long. Now that the demonic beasts have arrived outside the city, it is up to you all to defend it."
Yuan Jing quickly responded and led everyone up the city wall. The city wall was very wide, the top of the wall was about ten meters wide. Now the city wall was filled with people. These people were all from the Sealed Sword Sect. They were all carrying swords that looked like tree branches as they quietly stood on top of the city wall.
When Yuan Jing and the others arrived, they also attracted the attention of these people. The people from the Sealed Sword Sect looked at Yuan Jing and the others curiously. However, from their expressions, they didn't seem to be nervous at all.
After arriving at the city wall, Zhao Hai looked outside the city. Although there were some beasts wandering around, their numbers were very small. It was obvious that they wouldn't attack the city. However, these beasts still dared to wander outside the city, this in itself was enough to explain the situation.
Before long, Zhao Hai and the others were brought to the section of the city walls that they were supposed to defend. Then the leader of the Sealed Sword Sect said a few words before he turned around and left.
Yuan Jing waited for the leader of the Sealed Sword Sect to leave before he turned his head to look outside the city. The area outside the city was still the same, there were only two or three people. Yuan Jing didn't know why the people from the Sealed Sword Sect didn't deal with the beasts, they were just waiting inside the city. However, this wasn't something that Yuan Jing cared about. He turned his head to the monks and saw that they were nervous. Only Zhao Hai wasn't nervous. He just stood there with his eyes closed, it seems like he didn't care about the situation outside the city.
The one that Yuan Jing was most relieved about was Zhao Hai. He was very clear that among them, the one who had the highest chance of surviving would be Zhao Hai. Because of Zhao Hai's strength, his performance was very normal. However, the others couldn't do the same. Although they were Rogue Cultivators, they would also do missions and take risks. However, they had never encountered a beast attack like this before. Because of this, they were naturally very nervous.
Yuan Jing chanted Buddha's name and said, "Amitabha. Everyone, this is the first time that we're going to act as a group. It's also an opportunity for us to show our strength. I hope that everyone won't be nervous. After all, we still have the Sealed Sword Sect behind us. Everyone, just treat this as an ordinary mission."
Zhao Hai quietly listened to Yuan Jing. To be honest, Yuan Jing didn't have any experience in this matter. His words were also indifferent. However, Zhao Hai didn't say anything. Yuan Jing was now the Gang Leader. Zhao Hai wouldn't do something that should be done by Yuan Jing. Otherwise, Yuan Jing would be afraid of him.
Sure enough, Yuan Jing's words didn't make everyone relax. Everyone was still nervous. This couldn't be helped. Although they were Cultivators, they weren't soldiers. Now that they were standing here, it can be said that they were new recruits. It was inevitable for them to be nervous.
Zhao Hai's face was calm. He stood on the battlements, motionless. His eyes were drooping as if he was sleeping. Naturally, no one thought that he was sleeping, everyone knew that he was resting. Slowly, the people around Zhao Hai also calmed down. Just like Zhao Hai, they stood there and looked outside the city.
Yuan Jing also felt the change in the surroundings. He didn't say anything. No matter what, this was a good thing. He also stood there and looked outside the city.
There weren't many demonic beasts outside the city, it could even be said that there weren't any. Yuan Jing also relaxed a bit. At this time, a huge black tide suddenly appeared on the horizon. This tide was heading straight for Sealed Sword City. At the same time, it was accompanied by dust that blotted out the sky. Yuan Jing's heart tightened, he even forgot to breathe for a moment.
Although Yuan Jing had also killed demonic beasts and experienced life and death situations, this was the first time he had seen such a situation. He felt as if he couldn't breathe. His body was stiff, and he could only stand there quietly and watch the tide of demonic beasts getting closer and closer to them.
"Everyone, pay attention. The demonic beasts are coming. Get ready to fight!" Yuan Jing woke up and started to breathe. However, he was still frightened as he looked outside the city. The demonic beasts were getting closer and closer. At the same time, the demonic beasts seemed to have no end as they kept coming out. The people on the city walls couldn't help but feel frightened.
"Amitabha!" A loud Buddhist chant was heard. This chant seemed to have a very strange magical power. It made Yuan Jing's heart calm down. The monks around him also calmed down. At the same time, they took out their weapons and looked outside the city. Only Yuan Jing looked at Zhao Hai. He knew that the Buddhist chant just now came from Zhao Hai. If it wasn't for Zhao Hai, then they wouldn't have recovered so quickly.
At this time, the people of the Sealed Sword Sect also took out their branch-like swords. Everyone focused on the demonic beasts outside the city. They watched as the demonic beasts got closer and closer. Ten li, eight li, five li, three li … Finally, they were one li away from the city.
At this time, a voice was heard, "Everyone, listen up. Release your flying swords. Attack!" Along with this voice, the people of the Sealed Sword Sect on the city walls all made sword seals. Then the swords in their hands flew out and slashed towards the demonic beasts. The scene of ten thousand flying swords made Yuan Jing and the others feel that it was very spectacular. At the same time, the flying swords also shot towards the demonic beasts. A large number of them were directly killed. However, the demonic beasts didn't stop. They were still rushing towards the city walls.
At this time, another voice was heard, "Flying swords, release!" Along with this command, a large number of flying swords flew towards the demonic beasts. A large number of demonic beasts died. However, at this time, the demonic beasts had already reached the city walls. They were ready to attack!
