Chapter 478 Siege of Jiangyin City!
Jiangyin City.

On a dark and windy night, countless monsters and beasts crossed the Yangtze River and climbed into Jiangyin City. The people of Jiangyin, who were asleep, were unaware of anything until a night watchman saw a wolf monster holding a person in its mouth and chewing it at the foot of the city. He let out a shrill warning cry, and then clang clang clang gongs were struck, which immediately startled many practitioners.

A cultivator scanned the city with his spiritual sense and found that countless monsters had invaded the city. He immediately roared, "How dare you, evil beast!"

But before he could do anything, a thick spider leg fell from the sky and cut him in half.

Just this roar had already spread throughout the city, waking up everyone in the city, and for a moment screams were heard everywhere.

A voice resounded throughout the city: "Children, our whereabouts have been exposed, so there is no need to hide. Tonight, Jiangyin City is our supply base. Eat as much as you can. After eating, there are more important things to do!"

For a moment, there were the howling of wolves, the roar of apes, the braying of wild boars, the rubbing of spiders' mouthparts, the roar of tigers, the cries of eagles... There were countless sounds of monsters everywhere, in the sky, on the ground, and on the river. What was even more terrifying was that it seemed that there were also roars coming from underground.

Jiangyin City seemed to have become a primitive jungle, where monsters and beasts were the mainstream and humans became supporting roles.

A cultivator cast a spell of illumination towards the sky. The light illuminated a corner of Jiangyin City. It was a terrifying discovery that there were monsters of all sizes everywhere in this corner. The monsters ran wildly, and the houses were like paper. The houses collapsed and the humans were like ants. The monsters picked them up and threw them into their mouths to chew them wildly, and a large amount of blood sprayed everywhere.

Some practitioners resisted in anger and launched spells to attack the monsters like rain. Some of them were able to kill some of the monsters, but there were too many of them, and some were ridiculously strong. There were even monsters in the Jindan realm who specifically hunted practitioners.

Jiangyin has its own local practice sect, named Qinhuang Sect. Its founder and disciples are all from Jiangyin City, and its practice center is located in Qinwang Mountain in Jiangyin.

Qinwang Mountain is 20 miles southwest of the county. Its original name was E'er Mountain. In the past, Emperor Qin Shihuang climbed the mountain and looked around, so it was named Qinwang Mountain.

When the Qinhuang Sect heard the alarm from Jiangyin City, they immediately came out in full force to help. Jiang Tao, the Sect Master of the Qinhuang Sect, led hundreds of disciples to the outside of Jiangyin City. Jiang Tao took a look and immediately said, "Elder Xu, Elder Yu, Elder Zhang, and Elder Qin, take your disciples and leave immediately, hide, and protect them as they grow!"

Elder Xu and others also saw the tragic situation inside Jiangyin City. They couldn't help but burst into tears and wanted to go in to fight to save their fellow villagers. However, they saw a spider that almost covered the moon to the east of Jiangyin City, a giant ape looking at this side with sharp eyes to the west, and a giant wolf as big as a mountain to the south. Although they could not see anything in the Yangtze River to the north, a trembling atmosphere was filled.

Jiang Tao's face was icy cold, and he said, "With the four great demons here, Jiangyin City is doomed to fail. Elders, take your disciples and leave as soon as possible."

Elder Xu trembled and said, "Master, don't go."

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "I was once a beggar in Jiangyin City, and grew up eating at hundreds of homes. Fortunately, my master accepted me as his disciple, which is how I am today. My master's kindness is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, but without the elders and folks of Jiangyin City, I would have died long ago. Now that they are in great trouble, how can I just stand by and watch?"

Elder Xu gritted his teeth and said, "In our Qinhuang Sect, everyone is from Jiangyin. If that's the case, how can we leave?"

Jiang Tao sighed and said, "Master handed the Qinhuang Sect to me, so there is no reason for me to let it fall. You go, I will go and repay the kindness of the Jiangyin folks."

"No! We won't leave either!"

Suddenly someone among the disciples shouted loudly. Jiang Tao got angry and looked over. It turned out to be his favorite disciple Xu Jin.

Jiang Tao said angrily: "Are you going to die if you don't leave?"

Xu Jin shouted, "We are all from Jiangyin. If all the people in Jiangyin are dead, what's the point of us living? Master, you can die, but why can't we die?"

Jiang Tao shook his head and said, "It's not that I can't die, but I want to leave a bloodline for the Qinhuang Sect. If you live, the Qinhuang Sect will still exist!"

Xu Jin said: "Master, I won't refute you, but I will definitely not leave today. I will follow behind you and die before you!"

Jiang Tao suddenly burst into tears, how could he not be moved by his disciple's filial piety? But once he entered the city today, he would be dead!

Jiang Tao exchanged glances with Elder Xu, and Elder Xu swung his palm knife at Xu Jin's neck, but Xu Jin was very alert and dodged with a leap.

Elder Xu asked in surprise, "Xu Jin, when did you break through the Dragon Gate Realm?"

Xu Jin said proudly: "With my talent, breaking through the Dragon Gate Realm shouldn't be an easy task, right?"

Jiang Tao was both relieved and sad, and said, "Xu Jin, take your fellow apprentices with you and help Master pass on the Qinhuang Sect."

Xu Jin said: "Second Junior Brother's talent is better than mine. He will help you, Master, pass on the legacy."

Jiang Tao asked: "Are you going to leave or not?"

Xu Jin shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving."

Jiang Tao said: "If you don't leave, I will kneel down for you."

Xu Jin was completely stunned, and then burst into tears. He suddenly knelt down and knocked his head against Jiang Tao several times, until his head bled. Then he stood up and shouted loudly: "Follow me!"

He then led the way and left. The other disciples hesitated for a moment, then kowtowed to Jiang Tao and the elders and followed Xu Jin.

Jiang Tao looked at the four elders and said with a smile: "You can go too."

Elder Xu looked at the other three elders and said, "I will accompany the Sect Master to the city, you go and protect the boys."

Elder Zhang said with a snort, "You go, I will accompany the Sect Master to the city."

Elder Yu smiled and said, "Don't argue. Let me go with the Sect Master. I have the lowest skills and the disciples still need your protection. Don't say any other nonsense. The Sect Master and I will go to die. You have to stay and pass on the legacy for the Qinhuang Sect Master!"

After saying that, Elder Yu took the lead and flew towards Jiangyin City.

Jiang Tao smiled and said, "Go ahead, don't let the disciples get lost. Qinhuang Sect, I'm counting on you."

As he spoke, Jiang Tao turned into a rainbow light and headed towards Jiangyin City.

Elder Xu and Elder Zhang were in tears. At this time, Elder Qin did not say a word, but turned into a rainbow light and headed towards Jiangyin City.

Elder Xu and Elder Zhang cursed loudly upon hearing this: "Qin Lang, you old dog! How can we protect our disciples if you die?"

Elder Qin's voice came slowly, saying: "My ex-girlfriend is in the city. Although she is already an old woman with chicken skin and white hair, I still have to meet her. Goodbye, Old Dog Xu and Old Dog Zhang."

Elder Xu and Elder Zhang looked at each other, then wiped their tears and chased in the direction of Xu Jin and other disciples.

Some people sacrificed themselves, while others cleaned up the aftermath. Living might be more difficult than dying.

Jiangyin City fell, and Jiangnan was shaken. Thirty years ago, the four great monsters surrounded Chuzhou, and Chuzhou was completely wiped out, which laid the seeds for a major change in the world. The major inheritances lost a generation of elites, especially Longhu Mountain, where a generation of young Taoist priests died in Chuzhou City, which led to the collapse of Longhu Mountain thirty years later because of the successor. Oh, yes, Longhu Mountain was also surrounded by the four great monsters, and the old Taoist priest died in battle.

Six years ago, four great demons surrounded Huajing, and the imperial city disappeared from the face of the earth. As a result, the human world fell into chaos as heroes fought for supremacy.

Today, the four great monsters surrounded Jiangyin City. Overnight, hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangyin died tragically.

Which city will the four demons target next?

There is basically a pattern behind the siege of the city by the four great demons, they all aim to dig up the roots of the human race, and they besiege Chuzhou in order to kill the elites of the younger generation of the major human races.

The siege of Huajing was intended to kill the royal family and plunge the world into chaos.

The siege of Mount Longhu caused Mount Longhu, the leader of the human cultivation world, to fall apart. Without Mount Longhu to suppress the cultivation world, all other inheritances were eager to try.

But what is the situation when the four demons surrounded Jiangyin City?
Jiangyin City is neither the human royal capital nor the Longhu Mountain headquarters of the cultivation world. In fact, there is only one small sect in Jiangyin, and few people even know the name of that small sect. The four great monsters surrounded Jiangyin City. Was it really to give the beast tide a full meal?
This issue is on the minds of everyone in Jiangnan, and everyone in Lingshan is also discussing it.

Fan Jie and others frowned and thought for a long time but could not come to a conclusion.

Only Xiao Feng and Xin Zhen looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Fan Jie saw the shock in the two people's eyes and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Xin Zhen said: "Jiangyin City may seem ordinary, but it is a strategic location. Jiangyin is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the river is only a mile and a half wide. Its strategic position is very important. It is known as the "navigation fortress" and the "strong pass on the river".

Jiangyin Fortress is not only the throat from the sea to the river, but also a key point of transportation between the north and the south. It has always been a place of contention for military strategists. "

Fan Jie frowned and said, "The wars between cultivators are all fought at high altitudes. Not to mention the Yangtze River, even the mountains and ridges cannot stop the cultivators. What good will it be for the four demons to take over Jiangyin?"

Xin Zhen said solemnly, "Of course, we can't stop the cultivators, but this is the throat where the sea flows into the river. What if the dragons want this fortress on the water?"

Fan Jie and others were shocked when they heard this.

Hei Baizi said: "The dragon race thrives on water. Although high-level dragons have already soared into the clouds, if the dragon race wants to rule the continent, they need to control the water veins. Other places are fine, but Jiangyin is too narrow. If human cultivators want to cut off the Yangtze River, this is the first choice.

The Dragon Clan has removed all the Dragon-Locking Wells and now has control over Jiangyin. The Dragon Clan has mastered all the passages leading into the inland.

Now the north is in chaos, and the south is also in disarray. If the dragons invade, the human race will be in danger!"

Fan Jie sighed, "It never rains but it pours. Many heroes are vying for supremacy, the Nether Well could erupt at any time, and now the Four Great Demons and the Dragon Clan have arrived... Hmm?"

Fan Jie was surprised and asked, "You mean that the four great demons have colluded with the dragon clan and want to subvert the human race?"

Xin Zhen said with a gloomy face: "I'm afraid it's not just that. It should be that the demon race wants to overthrow the human race!"

Fan Jie and the four friends of Meizhuang were all shocked.

Fan Jie asked anxiously, "What do you mean?"

Xin Zhen said: "The four great monsters helped the dragon clan to eliminate the threat to Jiangyin Fortress. It can be basically confirmed that the four great monsters and the dragon clan are wearing the same pants.

Looking at the events such as the siege of Chuzhou, the destruction of Huajing, and the fall of Longhu Mountain, they all targeted the vital points of the human race."

Huang Zhonggong frowned and said, "But this doesn't prove that other demon tribes are also involved."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "I heard that the siege of Chuzhou was extremely tragic. Although the masters of the older generation did not participate, the rising stars of the major forces basically participated, and even the Dao Lu Si participated in it. But it was that battle that caused the major inheritances of the Dahua Dynasty to lose almost a generation of elites. Is this something that the four great demons can do?"

Fan Jie was shocked and said, "It would be difficult to do it even with the help of the dragon clan!"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "In fact, the biggest doubt lies in the death of the imperial city. I can't imagine that the dragon clan and the four great monsters have the ability to wipe out the entire imperial city.

Huajing is the place where the human race's masters are most concentrated. I don't believe that there are no Yuanying old monsters guarding the imperial city. But in that one night, the imperial city was gone. Is this something that the dragon race can do?"

Fan Jie frowned and said, "This is indeed a big doubt."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "The old Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain is the best in the world in terms of cultivation, and he is the leader of the Four Supremes. Can the Four Great Demons and the Dragon Clan do anything to him? I still don't believe it."

Fan Jie seemed to have thought of something, and asked in surprise, "Are you saying that the guy from Qingqiu also took action?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

In today's world, there are four so-called top masters, namely a monk, a Taoist priest, a demon and a swordsman.

The monk is Master Hongfa from Mount Yuntai, the swordsman is Xin Shiyi Niang from Jianlu, the Taoist is of course the old Heavenly Master from Mount Longhu, and the one from Qingqiu that Fan Jie mentioned is naturally the monster here, the Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox!

These four were masters who had surpassed the Nascent Soul stage. If the Nine-tailed Fox of Qingqiu had taken action, then the death of the old Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain and the destruction of the imperial city could be explained.

If that's the case, then things are serious.

The Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox is basically the common leader among the monster clan. Of course, the status of the dragon clan is also extremely high among the monster clan, but the dragon clan has been in the system for too long, so people don’t actually regard the dragon clan as monsters.

If the Qingqiu fox were to get mixed up with the dragon clan, then basically all the demon clans in the world would be merged.

The demon race has achieved unity, while the human race is fighting for a dynasty. This situation is much more serious than any foreign invasion in history.

After all, alien races invaded from outside, and the demon race was not only spread all over the human heartland, but even around the humans there were all kinds of demon slaves. The demon race probably knew much more about the human race than the humans themselves.

Once the demon race raises the banner of resistance against humans, the large number of demon slaves within the human race may become the most terrifying blow to the human race.

Since the human race gained the dominant position, the brutal suppression of the demon race has caused deep hatred between the two races. Once the demon race gains the upper hand, it will inevitably launch an even more brutal revenge on humans!

By then, the human race may face the crisis of genocide!
