The Ape King of the Black Wind Cave and the Netherworld Ancestor of the Yin Wind Valley jointly declared war on the Silver Immortal City!
The letter of challenge was nailed directly onto the city gate by the flying sword, causing an uproar in the entire city.
If it was just one of the two, the Silver Immortal City would definitely be able to suppress them firmly, but if the other party united, they would be able to suppress them in return.
For a time, people in the city were in panic, and many monks began to leave, preferring to hide in the wild to survive rather than fight with those evil monks.
However, what puzzled Chen Lin was that the Silver Fairy did not react at all. She continued to stay indoors in her City Lord's Mansion, even leading many cultivators in the city to believe that she had secretly left.
"Owner, what are you going to do?"
Inside the shop, the old shopkeeper looked at Chen Lin helplessly and asked for countermeasures.
The two female servants in the Qi training stage also looked frightened and lacked their usual agility.
With their strength, there is no way they could survive outside the city. Moreover, they had finally gotten this job and had a stable living environment, which they really didn't want to be destroyed. They were even more afraid that Chen Lin would abandon them.
Chen Lin also frowned, and had no good solution for the moment.
Leaving the city and hiding in the wild is actually not a good solution. Although he has left some backup plans outside, he is not very willing to use them.
He even thought of going back to Island No. 9 via the teleportation array, but that was the territory of the Cang Ape King. He had luckily escaped from the three bears last time, and if he went there again and was discovered, he might not be so lucky.
He is on the wanted list now. Others may not recognize him, but Big Bear will definitely recognize him. It is better not to go if you can.
"If it doesn't work, just hide. I have a place outside. You guys go first. I'll observe for a while and then make a decision."
As he spoke, Chen Lin took out a simple map and pointed to one of the several backup hiding places he had prepared to the old shopkeeper.
"This place is relatively secluded, and the underground cave I opened is large enough, and I have also set up an isolation array, so it should be no problem to hide here for a while. If you have family members, you can bring them over, but be careful not to be discovered."
Chen Lin took out another formation token and handed it to the old shopkeeper along with the map.
These three people used it very easily. If the Silver Immortal City can hold on, they will have to continue using it in the future, so they still have to protect it.
The three of them immediately showed excitement. The old shopkeeper took it with trembling hands and said with concern: "Boss, you should come with us. If you are called up late, it will be difficult to get out."
Chen Lin waved his hand, "It's okay, I have my own rules, you don't have to worry about me, just go!"
Hearing what Chen Lin said, the old shopkeeper no longer insisted, gave Chen Lin a big bow, and then left the shop with two assistants.
After the three men left, Chen Lin closed the shop and came to his private room at the back. He pressed a button somewhere in the corner, and a mechanism sounded, and a hole that could only accommodate one person appeared.
He did not rush in, but took out the crow puppet and put it in to explore before jumping down.
The sound of the mechanism was heard again, and the hole closed again.
How could Chen Lin not have made any preparations for such a long time? Every night after the old shopkeeper and others left, he would dig a tunnel. In order to prevent the horizontal excavation from being discovered, he directly dug a vertical well with water in it!
Enter the water and go down. When you reach the bottom of the water, there is a small magic circle next to it that isolates the water. After passing through it, there is still a vertical hole below, which leads to a very deep place, and finally there is a space the size of an ordinary house.
There is actually a short figure wearing soft armor here!
"Hi, Fat Tiger!"
Chen Lin greeted the figure, but the figure did not say anything. He just turned around and looked at him with two pale eyes.
"You're not spiritual enough, buddy. It looks like there's still room for improvement."
Chen Lin shook his head and touched the figure's round head.
This is a spiritual puppet of the foundation-building level that he refined. It took him a lot of effort to make it. Due to poor craftsmanship, its appearance is short and bloated, with a round head like a big cat, so he named it Fat Tiger.
However, I don't know if it's because the demon soul I used was not good, or because the spiritual seal I got from Zhao Hetang was not good. It was successful, but the spirituality was much worse than expected.
Although he can fight the enemy on his own without any control, he has basically no flexibility. He just mechanically uses those few pre-set spells and can simply control magic tools. He is totally incomparable to a real foundation-building cultivator.
In addition, this item consumes more spirit stones. Fortunately, like the Mo Yin Lingzhou, it has three spirit stone slots, otherwise I can’t even afford to exchange spirit stones.
Even though it has many flaws, it is after all a psychic puppet that can fight on its own and is in the foundation-building stage. Its value is immeasurable. After Chen Lin made it, he kept it here to guard this escape passage for him.
There are several small formations and mechanical devices here. When opened, there is a tunnel leading out of the city, with several branch roads along the way.
After checking with the crow puppet and making sure there was no problem, Chen Lin returned to the shop.
He still felt that the Silver Fairy would not really run away. If Silver City won, it would be difficult for her to come back if she left the city now, especially for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him who had lived here for a long time and was also a shop owner.
So he decided to wait and see for a while.
There is an underground passage, so you can attack or defend, and evacuate at any time.
If there is no problem with the Immortal City, he will be able to win favor from the Silver City Lord, and when the teleportation array is restored in the future, it will be easier to request its use.
For several days, there was no movement in the City Lord's Mansion.
Outside the city, the coalition forces of the Black Wind Cave and the Yin Wind Valley had already approached. Many monks who had escaped from the city were found out. They were either killed or eaten alive by the alienated demon-based monks. Some of their souls even fell into the hands of the Yin-based monks and were cruelly devoured.
When Chen Lin heard the news, he felt a chill in his heart.
These evil monks are indeed no longer pure human beings, but half human and half monster. As their cultivation level increases, their alienation becomes more serious.
If you can maintain your sanity, it's fine. If you can't, you will eventually become a monster.
After practicing for a long time, you have cultivated away your original self. This is not just a crooked way, it is a dead end.
Originally, Chen Lin had thought that if there was really no way forward, he could try some unorthodox practice, but now he had completely given up the idea. In this state, even immortality would be meaningless.
After a few more days of confrontation, there was still no sign of the Silver Fairy. The coalition forces outside finally lost their patience and began to attack the city.
The city defense formation had already been opened and was controlled by another early Jindan cultivator in the city. There were also several late foundation building cultivators guarding various key nodes.
Once the formation was activated, nothing in the sky or on the ground could break through. Even Chen Lin's vertical tunnel was built with a small boundary-breaking formation talisman that he bought at a high price and placed in the passage in advance to ensure that it would not be blocked by the radiation energy of the formation.
“Hahaha, Silver-haired Witch, I think you should not let your disciples come out to die. Hurry up and come out and follow me to be my wife. With my physique, I guarantee that I can make you ascend to heaven any day!”
"Hahaha… "
A golden giant ape stood in the air above the city, looking at the defense shield below and teasing wantonly.
On the other side, a gray-robed old man who looked like a zombie also stood in the air and laughed strangely, "You can't take all this advantage. The body belongs to you, but the soul belongs to me. I will let her have a taste of what it means to be terrified!"
Chen Lin has been recruited. Standing on the city wall and looking at the two left-wing giants, he feels the pressure as heavy as a mountain.
The auras of these two guys are stronger than Li Xuanming's at the beginning. The defensive formation will definitely not be able to stop them. The Silver Fairy has not appeared yet. It is absolutely impossible for a Jindan early stage cultivator to defeat them.
"It's time to retreat."
Chen Lin muttered to himself and quietly slipped towards his shop.
However, at this moment, a voice with a strange charm suddenly sounded, "Why, you two guys who are neither monsters nor ghosts, are you so anxious to reincarnate?"
