A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 595: Chapter 478: Nocturnal City in Chaos (Part 3)

Ye Xiao swung his leg, shattering a large section of the Ice Mirror, but Mi Mengyin flickered out from another mirror, launching a pitch-black Ice Lotus towards Ye Xiao.

In mid-air, a tremendous roar erupted as the two Golden Core Masters clashed fiercely, blending ice crystals and Earth Spirit Qi into a chaotic swirl.

A sudden chaos erupted in Nocturnal City, as many cultivators, unknowingly entranced, looked up enthusiastically, pointing and discussing with excitement, forgetting the peril they faced from the aftermath of a Golden Core battle. Some even began to place live bets.

Hai Shuangyao stamped her foot in anger: ”Just a little longer, a little longer, wait until midnight, and then we’ll see who spanks whom.”

Lin Le and Jiang Baitao watched the sky intently, and within this short span, Ye Xiao had already shown signs of defeat!

Her tall figure was already partially covered in black ice crystals, her movements slowing down, while the Earth Spirit Essence Qi was frozen into large hails the size of human heads, plummeting down with loud thuds.

Unprepared cultivators in the city were suddenly battered, their heads bloodied, but the reactions within the crowd were starkly different. Some deployed defensive measures, fleeing in all directions, others stood dazed and unmoving, while some laughed loudly and immediately began looting the fallen cultivators...

In the air, Ye Xiao struggled against Mi Mengyin’s offensive, resorting to using the Tri-Color Ruyi Divine Sand, but it was clear she couldn’t hold on for much longer.

Just then, a shine of starlight suddenly lit up the city!

A crescent of starlight, over ten zhang long, surged skyward, slashing towards Mi Mengyin. The latter snorted coldly, waving her hand to dissipate the starlight, and looked down to see over a hundred Inner Sect disciples of Yun Mountain aligned in a tidy formation, akin to over a hundred stars lighting up.

The Vast Sea Star Battle Array.

Wang Yu, Wu Yan, and Jiang Qingfeng stood within the Battle Array. Ye Xiao was an ally of Yunshan, and Nocturnal City was the sect’s property; they couldn’t sit idly by and watch as the city was destroyed by this enigmatic Golden Core.

Mi Mengyin raised her eyebrows in surprise: ”A rural place, yet it has a Battle Array inheritance?”

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Xiao launched a fierce attack, finally catching her breath.

Meanwhile, the chaos in the city intensified further. The majority of the cultivators steeped in this place were not virtuous; having been bled dry by Nocturnal City, now the chaos ignited the fire in their hearts, expanding the turmoil rapidly into a full-blown riot.

The Law Enforcement Team ran about extinguishing fires, but they were overwhelmed, ultimately drowning in the tide of cultivators.

The number of rioters grew, directly brandishing weapons and starting to burn, kill, and loot, attacking those nearby, those with past grievances, those who appeared wealthy, and the officials of Nocturnal City alike!

In the depths of Mud Alley, three people began to sense something was wrong.

More and more oddly-shaped, fierce-looking cultivators with vicious and greedy eyes emerged from both sides of the houses, encircling the trio tightly.

They remained silent, yet they were like waves poised mid-air, ready to crash down at any moment!

Lin Le was already sweating on his forehead. He reiterated his identity as a True Inheritance of Yunshan while loudly reprimanding these people to step back.

Jiang Baitao swallowed, now surrounded by hundreds of Qi Cultivators!

”Shuangyao, no, senior, please muster some spiritual power.” Jiang Baitao urged, ”Just a breath from you could wipe them all out.”

”No, I can’t.” Hai Shuangyao shook her head vigorously, ”Just a little longer, just half a cup of tea’s time, I’m about to meet my goal, complete a mortal’s day, I can’t fail now!”

”Baitao, Lin Le, you just need to hold on for half a cup of tea!”

”Help me achieve my goal, and I’ll thank you properly!”

Baitao gritted his teeth, and a Silver Thread Array Map rose from his arms, a Spirit Crystal placed on the map. A set of five Command Banners representing Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth whirled around, the Five Elements Grand Array’s Array Realm spread open, shielding the three.

Lin Le also activated his spiritual power, a Flying Sword deftly spun in the air, moving around the trio with agility.

Jiang Baitao was slightly delighted, never expecting Lin Le, having just stepped into Mid-Stage Qi Cultivation, stabilized his scattered Divine Sense, and started wielding Magical Artifacts, to wield this Flying Sword with such fluidity, it was truly unexpected.

Yet in the current situation, another Flying Sword might only last a few more breaths.

Before he could think further, Hai Shuangyao curiously remarked: ”Your sect is interesting, sending the one without Consciousness Collection to learn arrays, and the one with it to wield Flying Swords, what’s the logic in that?”
