The three arrowheads began draining the 6th-stage elder's Qi, Essence, and elemental Qi, directing them toward the archer on the tower. River of various energy flowed toward Fang Meirong, creating colorful aurora, connecting the wall and the pylon tower.

  "Imbecile demon wench!"

  The transformed elder roared in anger. Despite having tree roots as his legs, he jumped 1000 feet and extended the tree branches toward Fang Meirong.

  But he had forgotten someone within the light pillar.

  One of Zhao Bao's hands directed the muzzle of a cannon and fired a round at the jumping tree.

  BOOM

  A DU element shell shattered the massive trunk, cutting the tree in half!

  The 6th-stage elder was forcefully reverted back to his human form, but his body was severed in half as well.

  His upper torso and his lower stomach were disconnected! Innards, intestines, and blood splattered everywhere.

  Zhao Bao glanced at the intruders inside his pillar of light and complained.

  "Lady Ju, could you please do something about the pests? They're in our city now."

  …


  Ju Shoufen, Wei Yuan, and all yin slaves, except for Fang Meirong, had been observing the fight from the Yin Slave Manor's rooftop.

  It was not like they were slacking. However, it was Ma Moxi's request that he wanted to use this opportunity to let his men experience a real combat environment. It also served as a drill for the townsmen and non-combat beastmen to learn how to react during a crisis.

  "Is that it? Just letting his men shoot a bullet and retreat while he will take care of the rest?"

  Ma Xingjuan couldn't understand what her nephew had been trying to achieve by having his men doing something so simple. She took out a loudspeaker which she had bought from Mountain Goose City long ago. Then, she shouted while using it to enhance her voice.

  "MA MOXI, WE WILL START SHOOTING! LOOK OUT FOR THE STRAY BULLETS!!"

  A couple of seconds later, Ma Moxi snapped the neck of a 5th-stage cultivator and shouted back.

  "EVERYTHING IS A PART OF THE PLAN!! NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!!"

  As soon as Ma Moxi finished speaking, all surviving intruders already got inside the city and placed weird essence cores on the ground.

  Even though they had lost so many colleagues in this fight, none of them showed a hint of sorrow or anger as if none of them had actually died.

  They sneered at the women and Zhao Bao as if they had won.

  The surviving 6th-stage elder of Mount Hua Sect injected all his Qi into the inscribed essence cores. The other 5th-stage disciples did the same as well.

  RUMBLE

  A red dome was erected next to the eastern city wall, from the city and outside the city. Then, several tentacles of green vines emerged from the ground, and they began devouring the life essence and light element Qi in the air to grow larger!
