Chapter 657: Chapter 628: Making a Grand Entrance

Each time, the earth shook violently, causing Fire Cloud Immortal City to sway fiercely.

Luckily, the city’s protective array was not a shoddy construction; its quality was quite commendable.

Though the Demonic-wing Roc was fierce, it never managed to break the city’s protective Spirit Shield.

Seeing the demon bird return without success, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Three True Masters, Yun Hui and the others, all wielding Spiritual Artifacts and Flying Swords of True Flame, launched fierce attacks against the Demonic-wing Roc.

"Well, as long as there are no surprises, these demon birds won’t break through Fire Cloud Immortal City."

Shen Xuan watched for a while and made a judgment.

After all, it was the core Immortal City of Fire Cloud Sect, and its defense was commendable.

The joint attack by the three True Masters was indeed threatening to the Demonic-wing Roc.

The bird covered the sky and earth, beating its wings and launching sharp attacks around Fire Cloud Immortal City, but all in vain as it couldn’t break the city’s protective Spirit Shield.

At that moment, a strange gust of wind blew through.

Guang Xuan was taken aback.

Wind and clouds surged, and the spiritual environment of heaven and earth changed.

In the distance, at the peak of Fire Cloud Mountain, Spiritual Light soared into the sky.

It was as if something was voraciously absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

"This is..."

"Damn, condensing a Nascent Soul at this time!"

The protective Spirit Shield of Fire Cloud Immortal City gradually dimmed.

It wasn’t due to the attacks by the Demonic-wing Roc.

Rather, the Spirit Vein’s Spiritual Power was being drawn by the main vein of Fire Cloud Mountain.

Over there, a vortex tide formed of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, spreading out hundreds of miles and still expanding.

Meanwhile, here.

The Demonic-wing Roc clawed at the shield, making it wobble and sway.

"Not good! The city is about to break!"

Aware of this issue was not only Shen Xuan.

Many smart cultivators began flooding towards the city gates, trying to escape the city.

"Couldn’t have done it earlier or later, but choosing this time to shock and condense a Nascent Soul. True Master Primordial Fire, where do you place the lives of the city’s cultivators!"

Shen Xuan grumbled inwardly.

In truth, he vaguely suspected that True Master Primordial Fire might have been forced.

Some upheaval must have occurred within Fire Cloud Sect.

It was not an ideal time for Nascent Soul Formation amidst a demon bird siege.

True Master Primordial Fire faced the task of Fragmenting his Pill to Form a Nascent Soul, along with Celestial Tribulation Divine Thunder and Heart Demon tribulations.

The chances of success were already low.

Unstable external conditions made things even more difficult.

"Wretched beast!"

Three Spiritual Artifacts each unleashed True Flame Sword Light, roaring towards the Demonic-wing Roc.

"Boom!"

Just one glance and Shen Xuan knew Fire Cloud Sect’s three True Masters could not withstand the Demonic-wing Roc.

He took a deep breath.

Stepped forward.

He forcefully shattered an invisible barrier.

At this moment, chaos reigned within the Law Enforcement Hall.

Liu Chen rushed into the Red Willow House.

Just as Shen Xuan walked out casually.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you..."

"Oh, it’s Hall Master Liu. Please wait."

Shen Xuan glanced at the nine Red Willows before him.

"Tier Two Upper Grade Spirit Plants. The grade is ordinary, but they have some uses."

Grasping the Red Willow, Shen Xuan gently pulled, and uprooted the over ten-meter-tall Red Willow.

Then, he took out a Jade Box and touched it with his finger.

The Red Willow suddenly shrank to about a foot and was stored in the Jade Box.

Shen Xuan repeated this for all nine Red Willows.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, what are you doing?"

Liu Chen’s face turned pale and his voice trembled as he asked.

Only then did he realize that the Loose Cultivator named Shen Baiwan was definitely more than a mere newcomer to Foundation Establishment.

"Your Fire Cloud Sect, with no rhyme or reason, confined me for seven days. I’ve taken these nine Red Willows as compensation, which isn’t excessive, is it?"

Shen Xuan smiled brightly.

"No... not excessive."

Liu Chen replied, trembling.

"Alright. I’m leaving. Farewell until we meet again."

Shen Xuan wasn’t one to kill indiscriminately.

To ease the Celestial Tribulation Divine Thunder during future Nascent Soul Formation, Shen Xuan tried to control his emotions and refrain from killing.

Unless he was pushed to the brink.

He walked away leisurely from the Law Enforcement Hall.

On the way out, the few remaining guards dared not stop him.

Just as Shen Xuan stepped out, he saw Su Yajing hurrying over.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, they let you out? That’s great. I was just about to find you."

Su Yajing used Divine Soul communication: "Fellow Daoist Shen, Fire Cloud Immortal City cannot be preserved, I’ll leave with you. I will protect you."

Seeing Su Yajing’s determined and righteously indignant face, Shen Xuan was somewhat speechless.

"This..."

"What this. Come quickly, or you won’t be able to leave!"

Su Yajing transmitted with Divine Soul while walking.

"The captain of the city guard at the north gate has incurred quite a debt at the Ten Thousand Flowers House. This time, I’ve arranged with him. He’ll stealthily let us out of the city, writing off the debt."

"I’ve already sent Ling Yan ahead to prepare."

Shen Xuan chuckled lightly and followed Su Yajing.

Leaving from anywhere is still leaving.

No matter how it unfolds, Su Yajing’s care for him must be accepted.

...

At this moment, chaos prevailed within Fire Cloud Immortal City.

Everywhere, cultivators were in groups running together.

Everyone seemed hurried, and the atmosphere was heavy.

Su Yajing quickened her pace, holding a gleaming cold Magical Treasure Flying Sword.

It was her Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Frost Condensation Sword.

Shen Xuan followed behind, feeling something and turned to look at the city head.

The Demonic-wing Roc let out a wild cry, its iron wings flapping, scattering the three True Masters’ attacks, abandoning them to claw at the protective Spirit Shield.

This time, the commotion was even greater.

The Spiritual Light of the protective Spirit Shield grew increasingly dim.

Sensing hope in breaking the array, the Demonic-wing Roc roughly used its two wings to shield Fire Cloud Sect’s three True Masters’ attacks.

It did not use its golden claws.

Instead, stretched out its curved, sharp bird beak, casting golden light, aggressively pecking at the protective Spirit Shield.

Originally, the Spiritual Power of the Spirit Vein sustaining the protective Spirit Shield was gradually being drawn away by True Master Primordial Fire’s Nascent Soul formation.

At this moment, the protective Spirit Shield could not withstand the Demonic-wing Roc’s attack and shattered with a "bang."

Fire Cloud Immortal City has fallen!
