Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 354: Chapter 296: Chaos in the City

At the moment the fireworks rose, all the hidden arrangements in Nanling City suddenly sprang into action.

The first to arrive were the cultivators of Nanli Sword Studio, who were originally patrolling nearby in several teams, numbering about a hundred.

No sooner had they arrived than they saw this bizarre scene, where fishermen, common folk, and palace guards were all mixed together, and the ground was strewn with dried limbs, giving rise to a sense of eerie bewilderment.

Especially the shadows under the crowd’s feet, which were constantly twisting and transforming.

Suddenly, the shadows elongated. No, it wasn’t the shadows extending; it was clusters of black liquid crawling along the ground.

Swish, swish!

In a leap, several dozen clumps of liquid rushed towards them.

”Pear Blossoms!”

The cultivator quickly wielded his palm, causing pear blossoms to bloom and explode, rapidly evaporating the liquid.

”Watch out!”

A junior brother behind him cried out in alarm and quickly stepped in, blocking with a long sword shining with cold light in front of his senior brother.

A thread-like black object was just blocked by the sword, crawling tirelessly along the blade.

What kind of ghostly object is this!

The cultivators were filled with horror, astounded by the resilient life force of such strange creatures.

”Be on guard!”

The cultivator shouted, swiftly ascending into the air with a group of junior brothers.

By now, more cultivators had been drawn by the transmitted signals, and considerable numbers of them had emerged from various places, reaching a scale of about five to six hundred. A part were dressed in black Guardian Bureau cultivator robes and green Inspectorate cultivator uniforms.

This group of cultivators immediately implemented a strict blockade upon arrival, sectioning off some out-of-control crowds, while another group and arriving palace guards ascended into the air to curb scattered fishermen elsewhere.

When the Nanling Guardian rushed to the scene and saw the ground full of dried limbs, and the crowds of hundreds out of control, he felt as if the sky was falling.

It’s true that what you fear the most often happens. Although the Fifth Tower gave him the duty of safeguarding the city’s populace, overnight, it was exactly the area he was responsible for that ran into trouble.

A stream of light came from afar; after receiving the transmitted message from his junior brother, You Li rushed over immediately.

The present scene was already fully visible to him, and the cultivator pointed to the crowd below, speaking up.

”Every person in this crowd has monsters hidden inside their bodies, and the monsters possess terrifying resilience, able to continue living even if only a bit of the remains are left.”

At that moment, suddenly a fisherman with stiff limbs came forward, his body rapidly shriveling as though air-dried, and a blob of black liquid spurted from his mouth, splashing into the air.

”That’s the thing!”

The cultivator quickly shouted.

You Li furrowed his brow, beckoned with his hand, and the Palm Sword swiftly flew out, entangling with the liquid, slashing tirelessly, slicing it into pieces in a blink.

”They won’t die like this.”

The cultivator quickly reminded, and indeed, as he said, the pieces twisted again in the air, each forming a tiny individual entity, continuing their assault unabated towards them.

”Rainstorm!”

”Pear Blossoms!”

Golden raindrops swept over the blobs of liquid like a gale, accompanied by blooming pear blossoms all around.

Amidst the huge commotion, these ghostly things were finally completely obliterated.

”Nanli Sword Studio in action, all outside cultivators residing in the city must leave Nanling City.”

Faced with such tricky monsters, You Li dared not be careless and quickly issued an order.

At the same time, the two bureaus spoke simultaneously.

”Inspectorate in action, outside cultivators temporarily leave the city.”

”Guardian Bureau in action, unrelated personnel retreat!”

Today is the day of the list announcement, and some cultivators have stayed in the city, but the current situation cannot allow these outside cultivators to stay here and create chaos.

These people cannot be relied upon for help; more worrisome is that ill-intentioned individuals may sneak in.

Watching some obediently leaving the city, yet there were those who still refused to move despite the warning.

You Li was too impatient to argue, directly launching a pear blossom.

With a loud explosion, even among sight-level realms, the Great Perfection Cultivator clearly held the upper hand.

A group was forcibly driven several meters away.

”I’m not causing trouble, why are you driving me away?”

Someone spoke in indignant protest.

”Because I’m the first disciple of Nanli Sword Studio, I am sealing Nanling City.”

You Li spoke coldly.

”What a joke, it’s not like Nanling City belongs to your Nanli Sword Studio. You may be one of the Nine Sects, but you can’t be so domineering.”

Someone couldn’t help but speak disdainfully.

Such a spectacle; the earlier group didn’t dare to watch, but they wanted to see it.

But before they could finish enjoying, suddenly a shadow rose abruptly, bypassing their backs, and by the time they discovered it, it was too late; the shadow exploded, radiating thread-like strands.

”Quickly attack.”

The cultivator who insisted on staying shouted, drawing his sword while feigning to strike, yet suddenly retreating, though several fools actually rushed forward to attack.

Swords and Magical Artifacts flew out in the air in a whirl, cutting some of the strands, but there were too many densely packed strands to cut them all off.

”Don’t use Magical Artifacts, use True Essence attacks with a wider range.”

A cultivator from Nanli Sword Studio kindly advised, as these monsters were too peculiar. While the Magical Artifact had strong killing power, its scope was too narrow, better relying on the broader reach of True Essence attacks.

Unfortunately, few listened. Under chaotic and disorganized strikes, the black strands not only weren’t reduced but increased.

”Argh!”

Suddenly came a sharp sound from beneath, momentarily disorienting the group, catching even You Li’s side.

Upon regaining focus, most of those hundred or so outside cultivators had already fallen.

Those who fell stumbled upward, but their faces showed no vitality, their eyes dull, their movements robotic as they raised their heads to the sky, and simultaneously emitted a series of sounds...

Bai Xiangdong flew all the way to the city, his speed quickly, yet his embarrassing posture kept his head down, avoiding raising it.

Arriving at the city gate, a group of cultivators was flying out.

”Who doesn’t recognize you in this world, I’m the charming Bai Xiaosheng. Fellow Taoists, why are you fleeing the city so hastily at midnight?”

Bai Xiangdong persisted with the White Crane Spreads Wings posture, asking despite the shame.

”Monsters appeared in Nanling City.”

A cultivator briefly depicted the situation inside the city, making Bai Xiangdong frown tightly. Fishermen? Appeared in the city!

And turned into monsters.

His Celestial Pride List was already close to being ruined, and now this?

Grinding his teeth for a moment, Bai Xiangdong transformed into a meteor and flew directly into Nanling City.

After he left, the group finally grasped.

”What did he just say?”

A cultivator reacted and asked those beside him.

”Who doesn’t recognize you in this world?”

”No, the next line.”

”In this world, I’m the charming Bai Xiaosheng... Damn, that guy is Bai Xiaosheng!”
