After the flying boat flew forward for about two hours, the surrounding mountains gradually flattened out. Following a burst of unusual spiritual energy fluctuations, a dark cyan castle that was built in the valley appeared in everyone's field of vision.
The castle's style was simple and unadorned, covering an area of several thousand acres. The castle itself was a small town, and the city walls were built with a kind of wood-attribute spirit energy. After countless years of grinding, the surface of the boulder was quite smooth.
At this moment, the castle was surrounded by countless stemborers of various sizes. They were attacking the castle like a tidal wave.
The entire castle was covered in a greenish-purple barrier. Under the attacks of the stemborers, the barrier would occasionally shoot out bolts of lightning and fire.
The yellow flying vessel suddenly stopped in mid-air. With a flash of yellow light, it quickly shrank and returned to Kun Yu's hand. Liu Ming and the rest of the group swayed and floated in mid-air.
"That castle in front is the Ye Castle. I didn't expect the stemborers to attack already." Kun Yu did not show much surprise on her face. It was as if she already knew. She mumbled to herself, but she did not immediately go over to help.
Liu Ming slowly flew to the front of the group and stood side by side with Kun Yu. He looked at the castle in the distance and spread his Divine Sense to cover a radius of a few hundred miles.
"There are about three to four thousand stemborers attacking the Ye Castle. Most of them are low-level stemborers below the Crystal Level. There are five stemborers of the Jin Dan Level," Liu Ming said after scanning the area.
"These stemborers are not strong enough. Let's go with the original plan." Kun Yu nodded. She had clearly scanned the area with her Divine Sense. She looked at the people behind her and raised her arm with a serious expression …
The Ye Castle did not stand out from afar. However, the interior of the castle was rather large. There were hundreds of tall, ancient buildings.
As a subsidiary family of the Taiqing Gate of the Four Founding Sects, the Ye Clan had been guarding the mines for generations. In the past thousand years, they had been growing stronger. Now, they were comparable to some medium-sized sects in the continent. Even some ten-thousand-year-old sects treated them with respect. This was enough to show their status in the continent.
However, at this moment, the Ye Castle was in a state of chaos. Groups of Ye Clan cultivators were flying around in the air. They were in groups in the east and in groups in the west. They were holding various types of spiritual weapons in their hands and shooting beams of light into the purplish-green light screen above the castle, reinforcing the protective formation of the castle.
Outside the purplish-green light screen, countless ugly stemborers roared. Green slime and various beams of light with a putrid smell filled the sky and continuously attacked the purplish-green light screen.
In the sky above the Ye Castle, a middle-aged man dressed in a green robe stood out of thin air. Five green-armored guards stood around him.
The middle-aged man exuded a heavy spiritual pressure; he was a Real Pellet State cultivator. He was holding a big flag flashing with purple lightning in his right hand. His eyes were always watching the movement of the stemborers outside the array. He waved the big flag in his hand from time to time. Wherever the big flag pointed, a thick purple and green lightning fire would appear on the purple and green light curtain. After a loud roar, more than 10 or even dozens of low rank stemborers would be burnt into gravel.
However, to the thousands of stemborers surrounding the castle, this was only a drop in the ocean.
Although the Ye Clan cultivators tried their best to maintain the formation, the light screen outside the castle gradually dimmed under the attack of the countless stemborers.
"Master, the Qingsang Thunderfire Formation is about to collapse." At this moment, a grey-haired old man flew over from afar. He stopped in front of the green-robed middle-aged man and said anxiously.
The green-robed man glanced at the gray-haired elder and frowned. The large flag in his hand paused for a moment.
He was at the center of the Great Barrier Formation. He knew the situation outside the castle better than anyone else.
Two days ago, the stemborers around the Qingsang Mountains suddenly attacked the Ye Castle. Fortunately, when the Ye Clan found out about the stemborers, they gathered everyone in the castle and guarded it day and night. They activated the Qingsang Thunderfire Formation at the first sign of trouble. It was thanks to this formation that the Ye Clan managed to resist the stemborers' attack.
But at this moment, under the continuous bombardment, the formation was finally on the verge of collapsing.
"Master, we have no choice but to retreat!" The gray-haired elder said in a low voice.
"Fifth Brother, this castle is the foundation that our Ye Clan has spent thousands of years and countless blood, sweat, and tears to build. Is it going to be destroyed in my hands?" The green-robed middle-aged man said gloomily. His right hand that was holding the flag trembled slightly.
"The castle can be built later. The first thing is to preserve the vitality of the clan. As long as there is life, there is hope." The gray-haired elder glanced around and said hurriedly.
"Old Five, we were entrusted by the Taiqing Gate to guard the mineral vein here. If we lose this place and anger the Taiqing Gate, how can we establish ourselves in the Middle Sky Continent in the future? In addition, the Ye Clan is not the only clan near the Qingsang Mountains. Other clans have long coveted our position. If we flee without fighting, the Taiqing Gate will definitely support another clan to control the mineral vein here … "The green-robed man said sadly.
The gray-haired elder was speechless when he heard this.
The green-robed man's expression changed for a while. After a while, he gritted his teeth and ordered:
"Old Five, gather the old, weak, women, children, and the young elite disciples in the castle to the hidden castle. We will hold on for a while. If we can't hold on, let them evacuate through the hidden castle. We must defend until the last moment. Even if we fail, the Taiqing Gate will not pursue it. "
"Yes." The gray-haired elder agreed and immediately flew down.
"Pass the order, open the 4 thunder fire towers in the castle and install all the thunder source crystal stones. We have to hold on for half a day no matter what." The green-robed middle-aged man said in a deep voice to several guards in green armor beside him.
These people agreed, turned around, and flew off in four different directions.
The green-robed middle-aged man glanced around, opened his mouth, and spat out a pure breath on the big flag in his hand.
Dazzling arcs of azure and purple lightning immediately appeared on the purple flag. With a wave, several thick purple lightning snakes shot out from the tip of the flag, fusing into the purplish-azure light barrier in a flash.
The dim light curtain brightened obviously, and dense thunder and fire arcs appeared on the surface.
A loud crackling sound rang out!
The low-rank stemborers close to the light curtain were like being electrocuted. Many stemborers who didn't evacuate in time were suddenly submerged in the thunder and fire arcs. Seeing this, the rest of the stemborers flew away from the light curtain with a hiss and temporarily stopped attacking.
The original flashing green-purple light curtain temporarily stabilized after getting this respite.
"Roar!"
Just then, there was a commotion in the swarm of stemborers. Suddenly, a green stemborer that was more than 30 meters long appeared behind the swarm. It looked like a giant longhorn beetle. It had an ugly human face and emanated spiritual pressure that was no less than that of a Jin Dan cultivator. It let out a low growl.
The surrounding stemborers heard the growl and immediately followed it up with a hiss. Then, they began to attack the purple-green light curtain without any regard for their lives.
The green stemborer's large eyes looked at the House of Ye on the light curtain and a cold glint flashed in its eyes. The pair of green-white antennae on its head suddenly straightened and formed two blinding green lights that were about to be released at the light curtain.
Right at this moment, the space behind it tremored, and a humanoid figure with black Qi revolving around his body emerged in a wraith-like manner. A black fist blurred through the air before striking the stemborer's back at an incredible speed.
"Kacha!"
The green stemborer's seemingly sturdy shell was like a piece of paper in front of the black fist, and it caved in with just one hit.
Before the stemborer could react, countless fist shadows the size of millstones rained down on it!
The green stemborer's huge body was smashed from mid-air by a tremendous force and smashed into the ground. There was a millstone-sized hole in the stemborer's body and green liquid spilled out.
The green stemborer also spat out a mouthful of green blood and was unable to get up for a while.
At that moment, the shadow of a green bull flew down from the blurry figure in mid-air and swallowed the stemborer with its mouth glowing with green light. With a loud crack, the bull bit off half of the green stemborer's head.
The stemborer struggled a few more times before becoming completely motionless.
From the moment the figure appeared to the moment the Jin Dan Realm green stemborer was killed, only a few breaths had passed.
Only then did the surrounding low-grade stemborers come to their senses, and many of them immediately pounced toward the blurry humanoid figure in the air.
The figure let out a cold snort. He waved his hand and a purple sword light flew out. It blurred and turned into dozens of huge purple sword lights that circled around his body.
Hundreds of stemborers were sliced into pieces by the purple sword rays, and their mutilated bodies rained down from mid-air.
Inside the Thunderfire Barrier, the Ye Clan cultivators, including the Ye Clan Leader, saw this scene with their mouths agape. Their faces were filled with disbelief.
"Rumble!" At the same time the blurry figure appeared, dozens of other figures suddenly appeared outside the Thunderfire Barrier.
Powerful attacks were launched from these people and landed on the stemborers, causing blood to splatter everywhere. The stemborer army was immediately thrown into chaos and gave up on attacking the greenish-purple barrier below to attack these people instead.
The people who stood at the front all exuded the immense spiritual pressure of the Jin Dan Realm. Every attack they launched seemed to be able to kill at least a dozen low-level stemborers.
With these people in the lead, more than a dozen cultivators charged into the stemborer army. Other than a few stemborers in the later stage of the Crystal Level and above, the low-level stemborers could not even stand a chance.
Wherever they went, the stemborers would be routed and scattered.
