"Boom boom boom"
Explosions filled the sky outside the Thunder City. The Demonic Souls, which had been attacking non-stop for a day, were still maintaining the intensity of their attacks. Even the Demonic Souls below had formed an area and were launching various long-range attacks.
However, the barrier in front of them couldn't be seen any different from before. It was as if these attacks didn't even hurt the inside.
"Senior Soul, has the enemy already failed?"
One of Lord Hun's trusted subordinates asked doubtfully.
"It's not a complete failure. At first, we thought we could easily take them down. However, that was only our final thought. Clearly, after such a long time, Soul Alliance hasn't lost their initial vigilance. There are still people who noticed something wrong. In fact, I'm sure there aren't just a few people inside. I'm afraid the rest of Soul Alliance's subordinates are gathered inside." Senior Soul looked forward with the same calm expression as before, as if everything was under his control.
"How is that possible? We've surrounded this place from all sides. How can the enemy enter? "The subordinate was shocked and didn't seem to be sure of Senior Soul's guess.
"Of course you don't know. I know some information. There are measures left behind by the first generation Alliance Master that can deal with this situation. However, it's been too long, so it's normal that you don't know."
Zhu Hun obviously wouldn't tell them. Most of the information was given to him by City Lord Luo. Unfortunately, Thunder Sound City had a defensive measure that was always on. Without Soul Alliance's approval of human soul and above, once they entered, their strength would be greatly weakened. Most of them could only delay Soul Alliance's higher ups outside.
Otherwise, Soul Alliance wouldn't be so relaxed outside. If Demon Soul experts dared to sneak in, they would all die.
"However, the enemy's reaction is too fast. It's as if they already knew we were coming. It's strange that the information we gathered before wasn't leaked." Zhu Hun said regretfully, "That's right, what about the matter I asked you to investigate?"
"That Elder Hui from the Illusion Clan has completely disappeared. However, before she disappeared, she went out with two other groups of people. One of them was Gai Jin. She took most of her subordinates with her and disappeared together with them," the subordinate quickly replied.
"Disappeared. I'm afraid she's already dead. I told her to stop investigating. She really died for nothing. We even lost an Illusion Species elder." Zhu Hun said that he didn't care, but he still sighed. After all, it was useless to die there. He might as well die here. At least he could drag a few people down with him.
"Continue to instruct everyone to take turns attacking for three days. From the fourth day onwards, we will implement the new plan. When the time comes, I will naturally notify everyone."
"Yes, Lord Soul!"
Zhu Hun sneered in his heart as he watched his subordinate leave in a hurry. He then looked at the huge Thunder City.
"Do you think you can sit back and relax just like that? Let's waste some of your strength first. "
"And that adorable City Lord Luo, if you can't complete your mission, then don't blame us for being ruthless. Of course, we will do what we should do."
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. For everyone, there was not much difference between three days and one day. There was no other progress on either side. There was no difference from the beginning.
"Sir, there are a total of eleven cities outside that are empty. According to the people inside, they were all teleported away by the statues in the middle. Two of them were stopped by our people and damaged the statues, but we also lost some people."
When the day was about to end, Zhu Hun finally got the news he wanted.
"Looks like they're pretty fast. It's about time. Just as I expected, the first floor has been destroyed. If that's the case, victory will definitely belong to us." Zhu Hun smiled and turned his head to look at the beast-like Thunder City.
He was well aware of Thunder Echo City's counterattack, perhaps even more so than Madam Xue. He had always been on guard against the other side's attacks, but there had been no attacks in the past three days. Clearly, City Lord Luo was still somewhat reliable.
If Thunder City had really fallen into the hands of the other party, Zhu Hun was prepared to fight a long war. He would spend a thousand years to trap the other party here. Then, he would destroy the other party's foundation and continue to surround the other party.
However, there was no need to go through so much trouble. Even if there was no follow-up help, it would be enough. It was just a matter of time and losses. Unfortunately, he didn't lack either.
"When the first team starts to rush in from the two entrances, the second team gets ready. The third team continues to defend against the other party's attacks."
Following Zhu Hun's order, the originally motionless team started to split up. It was obvious that many puppet subordinates started to move in front. Beside them, there were a few Yao Spirits who were directing the other party's actions.
The gap left by their departure was quickly filled by the other teams. Everyone was squeezed together. At most, they were not separated by more than a palm's distance.
As for the shield in the air, as long as it could defend against external attacks, they wouldn't be squeezed to death as long as they didn't use their spiritual power.
Soon, a few swollen puppets, whose walking speed was twice as fast as the others, took the lead and walked in.
The original two entrances were now sealed by heavy stone doors. There was also a strong formation outside. Even if they used their spiritual power, it would take a long time to break through.
However, when the swollen puppets staggered to the entrance, their bodies swelled up again. They looked like they were about to explode.
"Not good. The door can't be defended."
Madam Xue couldn't help but exclaim when she saw the scene outside.
"Can we launch an attack to disrupt the other party? I can go first," another City Lord hurriedly asked.
"This is the price of having a spy. The other party knows everything about us. Those mechanisms can't be activated without Thief Luo's seal that represents the Alliance Master. We can only pay with our lives," another City Lord said angrily with clenched fists.
"We can launch an attack, but the other party is clearly prepared. It might not be very effective," Madam Xue said as she looked outside at the people hidden in the crowd.
They had noticed the other party's vigilance from the beginning. This was also the reason why they hadn't made a move yet.
"The other party's formation is a little chaotic now. Let me do it. No matter what, we can't let them enter so easily," City Lord Niu said decisively.
Without waiting for the others to object, he went to the other side and stood in the middle of the formation. He began to inject his spiritual power.
"That's right. No matter what, we have to stop them. In a moment, everyone will go up once and then come back down. This won't affect anyone. I'm afraid it won't be long before we have to work hard," Madam Xue said to everyone.
She glanced to the side and saw a child sleeping soundly in a tight formation. Three days ago, she had gone back to bring him back. However, she had no time to take care of him now. She could only let him sleep at the side.
"Look, they're about to explode!"
Boom boom boom!
There were several huge explosions in succession. Along with the earthquake, the rocks around the entrance were blasted into pieces. Even the runes on the door became dim.
"At most three rounds, we'll be able to open a gap. The other party won't be able to stop us on the first floor. Be prepared to go to the second floor."
Without those ferocious attacks, they could easily approach. At least City Lord Luo was still useful.
"Prepare your defenses. The other party's counterattack is coming."
Suddenly, Zhu Hun's voice rumbled like thunder in the air. All the nearby Yao Souls heard him clearly.
Some of the Goblin Souls that had already received instructions began to activate the spells that they had prepared beforehand. They opened up a huge layer of protection, covering all the Goblin Souls. Even the surface of the ground was covered in a layer of sparkling light.
In this way, no matter if it was in the sky or on the ground, they were all heavily protected. There were also people on the side who were constantly replenishing them.
After the people below reacted, a black fog appeared in the sky above Thunder Sound City. It condensed a huge biting cold aura. It looked even more shocking than the previous attacks.
As soon as the black fog appeared, countless Qi forces shot out in all directions from above. Although they were not accurate, for the people gathered below, the chances of them missing were very slim.
As the black fog rose from the surface of the crowd, the energy waves were blocked by the defenses. They exploded and dissipated in the air.
Despite the defenses, the Yao Souls and puppets underground were still somewhat affected. Some of them couldn't stand steadily. Other than that, no harm fell on them.
Even so, the Yao Souls below were somewhat surprised. They didn't expect the other party's counterattack to be so powerful. If Lord Zhu Hun hadn't taken precautions, they would have suffered heavy casualties.
The energy waves on the other side didn't seem strong, but if they were carefully calculated, they were at least at the late stage of Jin Xian's attack. With so many of them attacking like rain, even if Jin Xian was at his peak, he might be injured or killed.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Lord Hun, their eyes filled with admiration. At the same time, they put away their pride. They originally thought that it would be easy to take down the other party with their huge strength.
"Hurry up and blow up the entrance. Only then can we make the other party stop for a while." The resident didn't seem to care about the surrounding gazes and continued to give orders.
However, the second explosion had already been completed. Looking at the situation of the other party's door, it was obvious that one more explosion would create a hole. At that time, they would be able to drive straight in.
At this time, the black fog above gradually dissipated in the air. Its only function was to make them take the other party more seriously.
However, just as the black fog dissipated, a white fog reappeared in the air after a few breaths. As the surrounding temperature dropped, the second round of attacks descended.
In the white fog, countless snowflakes with six water chestnut petals danced gracefully in the air, spinning and floating in all directions. However, when the snowflakes appeared in the air, there was also an ear-piercing screech. One could feel the power of the snowflakes. It wasn't just a matter of appreciation, but also a matter of life and death.
The surrounding Yao Souls weren't affected at all. Instead, they looked at the scenery above with great interest. This made the people inside angry and annoyed, but there was nothing they could do.
The snowflakes fell on the shield like pebbles falling into a pool, splashing countless ripples in the air.
Seeing this, the City Lord who was controlling the snowflakes inside suddenly increased the amount of magic power he injected. The originally light snowflakes were surrounded by blue crystal dots. Then, the entire snowflakes turned into large pieces of hailstones, covering the sky and the earth as they smashed down.
This time, the shields continued to protect them. However, as large pieces of hailstones continued to fall, the shields became dangerous. The power of the hailstones was more than half of the previous ones.
Soon, the shield couldn't hold on anymore. Just as it was about to break, another shield suddenly rose from below and continued to block the hailstones. This was taken over by another elder who was on standby.
The hailstones only lasted for a while before gradually disappearing. It seemed that there was no new fog in the air. It was as if the other party had given up.
At this time, the two tunnels below also exploded with a bang after the last explosion. The Yao Soul Puppets in front began to move in.
"Again? Pass down the order. People are to protect the top and bottom at all times. Without my order, no one can withdraw. "
Zhu Hun looked at the front and revealed a smile. Then, he frowned and issued a new order.
At this time, the Yao Soul Puppets suddenly felt the ground shake. At the same time, the fluorescent light protecting the ground began to flicker as if something was underground. However, it still couldn't break through the defense.
"No, the other party's defense is too strong. We can't hurt them at all."
The third City Lord came out and shook his head regretfully.
"The other party knows all of our attack methods. It's not the first time they've appeared so suddenly. Naturally, they'll be prepared. However, we can prevent them from being so presumptuous. Go and hold them back. Don't use too much force. They can come in at any time," Madam Xue said from the side.
"Let me take over from here. It won't be easy for the other party to defend against my attacks," City Lord Xing said as he walked forward.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll go ahead with General Ruochen to make arrangements. If there's anything else, I'll send someone back. If there's any news about City Lord Liu and the others, send it back as soon as possible," Madam Xue said to everyone.
She didn't bring Pan Xuan with her because General Niu and the others were enough to protect her. They also had to prevent the other party from using other methods to sneak in. Once this place was destroyed, the stronghold would be nothing but an empty shell.
"Don't worry. Leave it to us."
Madam Xue and the others then left and hurried forward. They weren't just there to supervise the battle, but also to activate the enhancement formations.
There were many entrances to come up, so they decided to give up on the first floor. Their subordinates were scattered in front of the residential area, acting as a defensive line. The first defensive line was in front of the residential area. There was a spacious area, which was also the only way to get here. Thousands of subordinates were already waiting for their arrival.
Of course, this area, including the residential area, was less than a third of Leiyin City. The other areas had their own uses, but they couldn't go there to take control and kill the other party. After all, this was the real core. With so many people squeezed in here, it was indeed a little congested and unsuitable for battle.
However, they had no other choice. They couldn't even close the useless passages. They could only wait here for the other party to come.
After Madam Xue arrived, although everyone was waiting in an orderly manner, in her eyes, there were still many loopholes. She began to give orders. Ruochen and General Niu went to Thief Luo's side to activate the array. As for the people inside, they had already been killed.
Every city lord had subordinates, but they had all received orders from their respective city lords. They were very cooperative with Madam Xue's orders. Soon, Madam Xue finished setting up.
At this time, streaks of hidden bright lines lit up above their heads. They connected to the people below. Because of their previous orders, they didn't dodge. They obediently reached out and grabbed the lines. A wave of power was transmitted to everyone.
Everyone could feel the difference in their bodies. It seemed that everyone's strength had been increased by about ten percent. It was enough to last for half a day. It seemed that Madam Xue was prepared to fight the other party.
Because the other party had many people, but the range of fighting here wasn't large. There were only so many people who could fight at once.
"Let's wait. The other party will take a while to get here. When that time comes, we won't have time to rest," Madam Xue said tiredly.
Although she wasn't a completely ordinary person, this long journey made her a little tired.
"Rest for a while. Leave it to us," Ruo Cheng said to Madam Xue when he came back from afar.
"Okay. When the other party comes, please wake me up. I don't want to be their prisoner when I wake up." Madam Xue didn't insist. She joked.
"Don't worry. That won't happen!" Ruo Chen saw Madam Xue leaning against a wall to rest. He put a barrier around her so that the outside world wouldn't disturb her.
Looking at her spirited subordinates, she didn't know how many people they would lose in the end. But no matter what, they had to stop the other party.
Once the spirit beasts captured them, they would probably refine them to help their race revive.
Even if City Lord Luo joined them, only a few of the upper echelons would survive. The spirit beasts wouldn't keep these traitors alive. Even if they were used as puppets, they wouldn't be as obedient as their puppets.
While everything was settled here, City Lord Liu was still looking for traces of the other party in another part of Thunder Sound City.
"The other party is still in the mood to leave fake clues. How despicable."
City Lord Liu couldn't help but yell in anger when he finally found a dead end following a fake clue. There wasn't even any trace of the other party.
For the past three days, they had been circling the huge space outside, trying to find traces of the other party. But they didn't expect that the other party had purposely left them behind and even jumped into the trap.
Those traps were very effective against Jin Xian's people. But to this group, they were only used to annoy them. After a few times, even City Lord Liu, who had better self-control, was cursing.
After all, from the earlier commotion, it seemed that the other party had already broken through the door. Some of the Demonic Souls had probably already entered. If they waited any longer, they would have no choice but to retreat and guard the true center.
"City Lord Liu, we didn't find anything either. If I'm not wrong, I've already found the other party's hiding place."
Right at this moment, Gu Zheng suddenly spoke.
"Really? Then there's no time to lose. Let's find them now, "City Lord Liu said happily.
