Chapter 159 - 156: Devil Attacks the City
Taihe City.
This was not the city closest to Jiangzhou State within Star State, but it was the nearest to the Yunqi Mountain Range.
Of course, unlike the Yunqi Mountain Range in Jiangzhou State, the mountains within Star State were not steep, and due to geological reasons, the vegetation was not lush, resulting in a smaller number of devils residing in this mountain range.
On the other hand, in Jiangzhou State, the mountain terrain was rugged, and ravines were everywhere, complemented by towering ancient trees that blocked out the sun, suitable for hiding tracks.
Moreover, as the Yunqi Mountain Range stretched deep into the heart of Jiangzhou State, it facilitated devils leaving the mountains to wreak havoc, thus most devils were active within the Yunqi Mountain Range eastward into Jiangzhou State.
For this reason, Jiangzhou Longque Mountain Villa had to construct fortified cities along the Yunqi Mountain Range and invited the Venerable Daoist and many Divinity Transformation Great Cultivators to preside over them, defending against devils.
However today, Taihe City, which was seldom afflicted by devil attacks, was in complete disarray.
In a thundering roar, thousands and thousands of devils were driving even more fierce beasts out of the Yunqi Mountain Range, forming a massive horde that headed straight for Taihe City, the closest target.
Zhao Qian, who was in charge of Taihe City, had intended to lead everyone in defending the city, but upon sensing the terrifying creatures in the beast tide that had bodies larger than ten meters, his face instantly turned pale.
Without any regard for the lives of Taihe City’s citizens, he immediately gathered all the elite of the Purgatory Sect and retreated towards Baihe City at top speed.
