Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Li Family Li Chuanhuan
The Purple Wood Profound Heavenly Sword Formation might not be as offensive as the Tiangang Sword Formation, but in terms of trapping and distracting the enemy, it was even more effective.
For a moment, the Third-Rank late-stage Green Ox couldn't break through the sword array.
It only slammed into a myriad of vanishing purple lights, its True Yuan dissipated, but the formation swords continued to surge forth with unending True Yuan.
Countless sword qi continued to slash towards the Green Ox.
Meanwhile, Lin Xianzhi leaped forward, and with his Qinglian Sword, he directly slew the Green Ox Demonic Beast.
The terrifying strength of a sword cultivator also filled Lin Shiming with envy.
"Shiming, fight and retreat! We can't hold on any longer!" Lin Xianzhi's voice appeared in Lin Shiming's mind.
Lin Shiming nodded. Given the current situation, it was only a matter of time before the city would fall, so he also transmitted his voice to the remaining Qi Cultivators of his clan.
At the scene, not only the family's younger generation was retreating, but even the Sect disciples were gradually falling back.
The once towering walls had also been trampled into disrepair by the Demonic Beasts.
Everyone couldn't help but look towards the sky, hoping for a miracle to appear on the horizon.
However, at that moment, another Golden Core Demon King appeared in the sky.
A total of five Golden Core Demon Kings were fighting against three Golden Core True Persons from the Three Sects, and even the one from the Spirit Beast Sect had summoned a Fifth-Rank Spirit Beast, still putting them in a precarious situation!
And as soon as the Fifth-Rank Spirit Beast emerged, the five Demon Kings of the Qingyun Mountain Range seemed to feel a great humiliation and attacked even more fiercely.
The entire sky was occupied by sword lights and various spells intertwined.
The occasional release of Spirit Might could easily slay Purple Mansion cultivators or Fourth-Rank Great Demons.
Under Lin Shiming's command, the Lin Family members also moved closer to the Qingxuan Sect disciples; since Lin Xianzhi and Lin Shiming were both nominal disciples and had an unusual relationship with Xie An, the Qingxuan Sect disciples did not say anything, turning a blind eye.
Just then, to Lin Shiming's surprise, a system prompt appeared.
"Please carefully search among the city-defending cultivators, and you will discover remnants of the Li Family and a damaged Fifth-Rank Demon Banner Magical Treasure."
Lin Shiming was somewhat stunned. He had not expected that, in this battlefield, there would still be cultivators of the Li Family. He was puzzled; where did the Li Family get the courage to appear on the battlefield?
You should know that the Qingxuan Sect had already issued a wanted notice for the Li Family.
Not to mention being here, the Li Family probably didn't even dare to linger in Yunzhou.
Even Li Chuanhuan, the old ancestor of the Li Family, was only a Purple Mansion Middle Stage cultivator. In the current Qingyun City, where Golden Core True Persons existed, how could he dare to be present?

Lin Shiming's heart was pounding fiercely. If it were any other time, he would've let it go, pretending nothing had happened.
The appearance of a Fifth-Rank Demon Banner indicated that the person from the Li Family must be Li Chuanhuan.
He, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator who couldn't even beat a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, how could he dare to expose him at this time?
Still, he had no idea what Magical Treasure Li Chuanhuan was using that even the Divine Sense of a Golden Core True Person was unable to detect it.
But at the same time, he thought that if he didn't expose the situation and let Li Chuanhuan mingle in the crowd, who knows if once Li Chuanhuan left, he would come at him with a sword.
In the eyes of the Li Family, he, Lin Shiming, was not a small threat.
The presence of Li Chuanhuan at the East City gate was telling in itself.
For a Purple Mansion cultivator to assassinate a Foundation Establishment cultivator was indeed easy as pie, effortless.
Lin Shiming spread out his Divine Sense and meticulously searched each cultivator, feeling at this moment that anyone around him could be Li Chuanhuan.
But after one quarter of an hour, then two, Lin Shiming found no trace at all.
Not a hint of the Li Family was found.
"No, the Demon Banner!" Lin Shiming suddenly thought of the prompt, and another keyword.
He looked around again, but frustratingly, after searching all the Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion cultivators, he still didn't find anyone using a Demon Banner to attack.
"Be careful!" Suddenly Lin Xianzhi's voice rang in his mind, and at the same time, a huge Third Rank tiger demon lunged towards him.
The Sword Qi of the Qinglian Sword repelled the tiger demon, and Lin Shiming was instantly overjoyed. He took out the Tiangang Sword Formation and slashed at the tiger demon.
The tiger demon, just a Third Rank Early Stage Demonic Beast, could not withstand the assault of the one hundred and eight swords of Lin Shiming's Tiangang Sword Formation.
It was instantly chopped into pieces, but at that moment, he saw a wisp of spirit essence flee into the ground.
Lin Shiming was full of doubts. Only Purple Mansion cultivators could separate their spirits, so how could a Third Rank beast possess spirit essence?
Curious, Lin Shiming used his Divine Sense to follow it, only to discover countless spirit essences and the lingering souls of cultivators dazedly flying towards a spot deep underground.
Thinking of the Demon Banner, Lin Shiming once again concentrated his Divine Sense and followed.
The deeper he pursued, the more his heart sank, until a thousand meters underground, he found a palm-sized flag.
The small flag was inconspicuous, much like an ordinary piece of cloth, and when touched by Divine Sense, there were no fluctuations of Spiritual Power.
But Lin Shiming could feel that all the spirit essences and lingering souls were entering this small flag and then disappearing without a trace.
"This Demon Banner..." Lin Shiming was even more shocked. According to this pattern, it was clearly a Fifth Rank Demon Banner Magical Treasure, repairing itself through the souls and spirit essences.
Or it could be a Demon Cultivator cultivating the Magical Treasure.
But according to the system prompt, the former seemed much more likely.
As his Divine Sense covered the small flag, Lin Shiming suddenly shuddered.
Out of nowhere, a sword was already slashing towards him.
The sword moved too swiftly; by the time Lin Shiming could react, it was already upon him.
Boom!
A flash of golden light in the void, and two massive scythes slashed out from thin air.
It was the Golden Winged Mantis, bolstered by the Taoist robe.
Yet, the previously undefeated golden scythes were instantly shattered upon contact with the light sword.
Such was the might of the light sword.
Yet this slight pause had given Lin Shiming a moment's respite.
The Kuimu Shield opened, followed by various Spirit Talismans. Most importantly, at this moment, Lin Xianzhi had already drawn the Qinglian Sword to his side.
He executed the Ren Shui Geng Jian technique to its limit. His head full of white hair danced wildly,
and the skinless Sword Qi condensed into a Green Gold Sword Light.
Finally, with a thunderous blast, the incoming sword was blocked.
"Seventh Great Uncle, that man is Li Chuanhuan, the chief instigator of this incident. He must not be allowed to escape!" Lin Shiming shouted sharply.
Not far from them, the cultivator who was originally from a small family clan immediately stopped concealing his figure, transforming into a yellow Escape Light and zooming towards the ground.
"Beneath us is a Fifth Rank incomplete Magical Treasure collecting lingering souls!" Lin Shiming saw that many cultivators remained indifferent, and with Li Chuanhuan being a Purple Mansion Great Cultivator, no one dared to stop him.
Also, all the Purple Mansion cultivators from the Three Sects were being blocked by a Purple Mansion Great Demon.
But as Lin Shiming's voice rang out, the whole world boiled over.
Below was a Fifth Rank Magical Treasure.
That was something comparable to a Golden Core Cultivator's possession.
While this Fifth Rank Magical Treasure might not attract ordinary disciples, to the Cultivators of the Three Sects, it was the greatest treasure.
After all, their Golden Core ancestors were above, and securing the Fifth Rank Magical Treasure could surely earn them merit from the Golden Core True Persons.
