624. City lockdown
Unlike Xiao Yan, who constantly encountered powerful Spirit Clan members as he ascended, the others on the other side had a very smooth journey out of the Pill Tower. Among them were seven Dou Zun experts, and the scattered Spirit Clan members were no match for this group. In fact, because Xiao Yan had ventured into the Pill Tower alone, everyone was filled with resentment, and they hunted down and killed any lone Spirit Clan Dou Zun experts.
They also rescued many powerful members of the Pill Tower, but none of this alleviated the pressure in their hearts. Judging from the current situation, the Spirit Clan's target is definitely not just Xiao Yan; the Spirit Clan is aiming for the entire Pill Tower this time, and their schemes are so grand that it's too much to bear.
This also means that Xiao Yan, who has entered the top floor of the Pill Tower, and Xuan Yi, who was already there, are now in even greater danger.
Everyone remained silent throughout the journey. Even Wei Jiangyuan, who was usually playful, lost interest in saying anything when he saw Yao Qingyu and Little Fairy Doctor's completely serious demeanor.
The first thing everyone did after arriving at the Pill Tower was to look at the top of the tower. This magnificent building had been able to withstand attacks from the Dou Sheng level since its creation, so at this moment, no one could see anything from the outside in.
When they saw Saint Pill City at this moment, they were extremely shocked: more than fifty Spirit Race Battle Venerables stood in mid-air, forming a huge circle that surrounded Saint Pill City at the center.
What Little Fairy Doctor and the others couldn't see at this moment was that more than fifty Dou Zun of the Spirit Clan each held an ancient array plate. The bronze array plates they held in their hands gleamed with the mottled green of time, and the dark gold patterns engraved on the surface of the plates were shining brightly as Dou Qi was poured in—those were the unique bloodline runes of the Spirit Clan, which flowed like living things, enveloping the entire city in an invisible spatial cage.
The moment the array disc hummed, the entire world seemed to be filled with viscous amber. The previously freely flowing spatial fluctuations suddenly froze, and visible transparent ripples appeared on the edge of Saint Dan City, as if the entire city was sealed in an independent crystal ball.
The Spirit Race Battle Venerables, suspended high in the sky, operated in sync like precise gears, with spiderweb-like silver lines extending from beneath their feet to connect with other array plates.
No aura, especially spatial aura, can break through the spatial defenses they have set up. The confinement they have released at this moment has already surrounded the entire Holy Pill City.
Such a large number of Dou Zun were extremely rare, even in Zhongzhou, so countless people were trapped in Shengdan City at the moment.
The number of spectators attending the Dan Conference in Saint Dan City was astronomical, so many people wanted to take the initiative to leave after seeing this situation.
As soon as they touch the almost transparent Spirit Clan protection, the fifty array plates will instantly sense it.
Then, an invisible spatial force quietly arrived, and that attack, which was close to that of a Dou Zun powerhouse, would break free from the great formation.
An attack of this intensity would instantly kill anyone below the Dou Huang level, and would also severely injure most Dou Zong levels. Only those at the Dou Zun level could survive the counterattack from such a defense.
At the same time, even a Dou Zun expert would be unable to break through the combined battle aura of more than fifty powerful members of the Spirit Clan.
"When did the Spirit Clan set up such a magnificent formation?" Wei Jiangyuan was also somewhat unsure.
"When they first started their attack," Qinglin, the strongest among them, replied.
"Senior brothers, did you feel it too?" Venerable Mingshui asked proactively. As a Dou Zun-level expert, he knew that Wei Jiangyuan was referring to the strange sense of restriction that appeared shortly after the Spirit Clan's attack began.
"It's too obvious, no one can fail to notice it," Lei Jingxiao said.
"To seal off the entire city in an instant—only a Dou Sheng could pull off something like that."
"The Spirit Clan's plan is far too ambitious!" Tang Zhen exclaimed. As the head of Burning Flame Valley, he was already well aware of the terrifying nature of the Spirit Clan's actions tonight.
The Spirit Race's current stance further demonstrates that they are well aware that tonight's commotion will be significant, so they are proactively using methods to isolate themselves to avoid causing too much disturbance and attracting unforeseen complications.
If the Spirit Race eventually gains complete control of the Pill Tower, then they can do whatever they want with tonight's events.
At this moment, the most important thing for everyone is that the power of space has been completely sealed off.
Mu Qingluan was worried about Xiao Yan's safety, so she took the initiative to suggest, "We must break through this defense so that the Ancestor can receive the message and come here."
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen's heart stirred, and he exchanged a brief glance with his daughter, Tang Huo'er. Clearly, they also had their own thoughts.
"Ancestor Tianluan, it might still be a bit insufficient. Junior brother, take out the spatial jade that connects you to the old man; it's time to use it," Wei Jiangyuan said generously.
At this moment, everyone knew very well that the "old man" Wei Jiangyuan was talking about was his teacher, the ninth-grade alchemist Shennong Laoren.
Almost everyone was filled with anticipation. After all, a ninth-grade alchemist was no less powerful than a Dou Sheng. If Shennong could come, the Spirit Clan would definitely not be in control of everything in Saint Pill City.
Only one person looked at Wei Jiangyuan with a strange gaze; it was Venerable Mingshui, another disciple of Shennong: "Our teacher has always doted on you the most. Didn't he give you the space jade?"
"I haven't even seen him, how can he give it to me?"
Wei Jiangyuan was clearly genuinely surprised by this situation: "That time you went to see him specifically, and he didn't give it to you?"
Venerable Mingshui spread his hands with a somewhat helpless expression and said, "Of course not, I've delivered all of my teacher's instructions to you."
"Hiss hiss hiss—" Wei Jiangyuan also seemed furious: "This old guy really isn't afraid of having no one to take care of him in his old age!"
"Lei Zi, it's up to you!" Wei Jiangyuan seemed to remember something: "Do you have any means to summon powerful experts from the Lei Clan? If you send seven or eight Dou Sheng level experts, today's problem will be solved!"
"And your help to Danta is undoubtedly a great achievement!"
Lei Jingxiao simply shook his head: "Don't even think about it, Aunt Yan didn't leave me anything."
"Your status in Thunder Clan doesn't even have a powerful protector?!"
Lei Jingxiao also said nonchalantly, "Without a powerful expert, the Spirit Clan wouldn't dare to touch me. Didn't you hear what Ling Zhuo said before?"
At this moment, Lei Jingxiao even felt a little proud, but Wei Jiangyuan immediately reminded him, "You're safe, but what about us!"
Upon hearing this, Lei Jingxiao also began to struggle. Clearly, he had no way to ensure everyone's safety from the Spirit Clan. After all, tonight, the Spirit Clan probably wouldn't dare to do anything except kill him.
"It's alright." Cao Ying from Danta also stepped forward: "As long as everyone works together to break through this defense, someone can resolve the dangerous situation in Danta tonight."
