The Path of the Sage

Chapter 667: Battle of the Deserted City

Views:

Suddenly, an orange light burst out from the holy temple on the island, like a fountain rushing straight towards the moon tree.

The Moon Tree was hovering high in the sky, emitting only a faint blood-red moonlight at first. The blood-red moonlight became thicker and thicker, and finally formed a blood-red beam of light that enveloped the entire Hunting Island.

In that blood-red beam of light, the orange talent of the holy temple stood still.

The two forces were at a stalemate with no clear winner.

The entire Hunting Island is completely isolated from the outside world. People on the island are not only unable to send messages to the outside, but also unable to receive messages.

The only thing that can be connected to Hunting Ground Island is Wenbang.

Unless the power of the Holy Temple is completely suppressed, the connection between the Literature List and the Hunting Ground will not be interrupted.

The holy temple lost its power, and all the books in the surrounding area were cut off.

The only thing connected to the Hunting Ground Island is the Holy Academy’s list of literary figures.

As long as the light of the holy temple remains, the connection between Wenbang and the hunting ground will not be interrupted.

Inside the holy temple, three drops of holy blood transformed into three translucent semi-holy incarnations. The three incarnations attempted to rush out of the gate of the holy temple, but were blocked by the blood-colored moonlight.

Only the power of a saint can interrupt the Spring Hunt. If the three semi-saint incarnations cannot get out, the Spring Hunt for Jinshi cannot be stopped.

In the side hall of the holy temple, ten great scholars in purple robes were sitting there, each of them with his eyes closed, thinking.

The blood-colored moonlight also trapped them inside the holy temple.

While the Hunting Ground Island was shrouded in the light of the Moon Tree, tens of millions of monsters were marching rapidly towards the Spring Hunting Island.

All the human beings in the 101st and 102nd Deserted Cities abandoned their cities and headed for the Spring Hunting Island, both to escape and to seek reinforcements.

After the human race evacuated, the university scholars and great scholars of the two cities followed behind, flying slowly towards the Hunting Ground Island, but they were facing the army of monsters in the distance.

Liang Sili, the great scholar and guardian of the 101st Deserted City, had his right hand behind his back, but his left hand was flat in front of him, holding a small statue of a holy temple. The surface of the statue of the holy temple radiated a faint orange light, and its shape was tiny, but its meaning was as heavy as a mountain.

Liang Sili's left hand had several tiny cuts, and the blood from the cuts gathered in one place on his palm and dripped slowly.

A university scholar said, "Look at those monsters. Some are still underage, and some are very old. It seems that all the monsters in the nearby wild city have come out in full force."

"Alas, when I saw these armies, I also doubted whether they were targeting Fang Xusheng. Hunting Ground Island is easy to defend but difficult to attack. No matter how many demons and barbarians attack, it will be useless. Logically speaking, if Fang Xusheng is to be killed, it should be the barbarian saint Niu Han who should do it. But... the demons and barbarians can think of the barbarian saint to come forward, so the saints will not be unprepared. It seems that the demon world has lost many semi-saints in succession, and they have learned a lesson from their mistakes. It seems that they are not going to use the barbarian saint Niu Han this time. Lord Liang, am I right?"

The other university scholars looked at the great scholar Liang Sili.

Rise slowly and steadily to the top.

After a moment of silence, Liang Sili said, "Years ago, the Holy Court sent a secret order. We knew that the demon world would not let this Jinshi Spring Hunt go. We expected that the Barbarian Saint Niu Han would go to the Hunting Island and prepare a counterattack. But we never expected that the demon barbarians would use the Moon Tree clone to directly destroy Fang Xusheng and the human race on the Hunting Island. Fortunately, the Hunting Island is very important, and the holy temple is not afraid of the Moon Tree clone, otherwise, the human race on the island would have been completely killed!"

"The Barbarian Saint is not coming out, which means that the demon world is only planning to let these demons attack the Hunting Ground Island. Our three cities are united, and even if we are weak, we can easily resist for several years. What is the purpose of the demons doing this? Are they going to trap Fang Yun on the Hunting Ground Island for life?"

Liang Sili remained silent.

Seeing that Liang Sili didn't say anything, the four grand secretaries didn't dare to mention it anymore and just looked down silently.

Unlike the human race’s big cities that are often inhabited by hundreds of thousands of people, the population of the ancient deserted city is not large, with a maximum of more than 100,000 people in one city.

In addition to being responsible for the plants and minerals unique to the ancient land of the deserted city, all the needs and supplies here are provided by the Holy Yuan Continent, and almost everyone is a soldier.

The ancient people were desperately trying to increase their births. They would receive a sum of money for each child they gave birth to, and would also cover all the expenses of food, clothing, housing, and transportation until the child was 16 years old. However, the death rate in the ancient land was too high, and the ratio of men to women was seriously unbalanced. Many women even served as military men.

In fact, every five years, the Holy Academy would recruit a number of people from the Holy Yuan Continent to go to the ancient deserted city to replenish the population.

The team moved forward quickly. After half an hour, a huge roar suddenly came from the ground a mile ahead. Then, the ground cracked, and ten big demon kings and thirty demon kings flew out from the cracks.

The energy and blood power in front was so strong that it caused local changes. Strong winds suddenly blew up in the surrounding area, with flying sand and rocks, forcing everyone to shield their faces with their arms.

"Hahaha... I've been lurking here for nearly a month, and finally I've waited for you!" A tiger demon king laughed.

Tens of thousands of human beings were in panic, and all the scholars and soldiers adjusted their formations at an extremely fast speed.

The gun points at the demon king.

The hearts of those soldiers and young scholars were trembling, but their hands were extremely steady and their eyes were even more determined.

The demon kings didn't say any more nonsense and attacked together. A powerful ancestral spirit appeared behind each demon king. The body of each demon king suddenly grew larger and various strange phenomena appeared one after another.

Some people with weak wills were influenced by invisible forces and fell into endless fear just by looking at those great demon kings.

"Kill!" A Hanlin general leading the troops suddenly shouted with a thunderous voice.

"kill!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers roared desperately.

The great scholar Liang Sili led the university scholars to stand in front of the people, and began to write or recite war poems with the scholars below.

Various strange phenomena appeared around all the grand secretaries, demonstrating the power of the Wen Tai.

A star appeared above the head of the great scholar Liang Sicheng, and two satellites were slowly rotating around the edge of the star.

Everyone joined forces to attack, and the powerful force formed by various war poems killed the demon kings, but the demon kings didn't even need to use their full strength. The combined attack released a powerful torrent of blood and energy, forming an overwhelming blood wave.

The human race has only one great scholar and four university scholars, and they will surely die under such an attack.

What's more, the great scholar Liang Sili was holding up the statue of the holy temple with his left hand. Once he attacked with all his strength, the statue of the holy temple would surely be shattered.

Suddenly, a cloth belt flew out from the fleeing crowd, expanded instantly, and then turned into a circular wall with a radius of two miles, surrounding everyone.

All the demons were horrified, while all the humans were extremely surprised.

"Holding on to conventions! Reversal of inside and outside! There is actually a great Mohist scholar hiding in the team!" A scholar said excitedly in a low voice.

Ten sharp swords flew out from the crowd, and ten pieces of rising clouds carried ten people in coarse cloth clothes. There was a divine pen floating beside each of them, writing war poems on paper. Around each of them, there was a vision of a writing desk, and stars hung high above each of their heads.

Li Wenying, the poet of Wind and Rain Sword, is on the list, as is Ye Hongyu, the great scholar who listened to thunder, and Nangong Leng, the great scholar of Wu State...

The situation between the two sides has reversed!

The demon kings were stunned for a moment, and the tiger demon king in the lead roared: "If you flee, you will die, but if you fight, you will have a chance of survival!"

The retreating team from the 102nd Deserted City was also ambushed, and there were also ten great scholars in the crowd.

There was a storm outside the Jinshi Hunting Ground, but the 330 Jinshi inside were completely unaware of it.

"Friends of the ten countries, we in Kongcheng will not compete with you. Goodbye!" The thirty scholars from Kongcheng left first, not wanting to make enemies with any country, nor to side with any country. (To be continued...)
