Invincible Kungfu Healer - Chapter 1068 - All-Out Attack on the City

After that fateful day, investigating Mo Wen’s identity had become one of the most critical tasks for Muhong City. This was a Tide Changing Realm cultivator of unknown origins who had suddenly arrived at Yingyun City, and he was a powerful adversary. So even the Muhong City Mayor was paying close attention to this.

“Not even the Sorcerer God Temple could find anything?” The Muhong City Mayor frowned. If even the Sorcerer God Temple could not find anything, there was more to this than met the eye. The friend from the Sorcerer God Temple he knew held the rank of a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator, and he had quite a high standing there. There was very little that friend of his could not find out about, at least within the Ziya Territorial Waters.

If that young man was from the Ziya Territorial Waters, then there were likely two possible scenarios. One was that he had kept to himself, quietly cultivating, and had only reappeared after he had reached this realm. The other was that he had come from a notably renowned background, one so impressive that even the Muhong City Mayor’s friend was kept in the dark.

The first situation was still a manageable one since there would be no reason for him to bother with a recluse. The other situation, on the other hand, was much trickier. Someone with a background his friend could not look into was not someone he could afford to anger.

However, this was an unlikely possibility. Within the Ziya Territorial Waters, those who were powerful were known far and wide by the masses. There, every high-level cultivator knew who they could or could not afford to offend, but no one knew anything about that mysterious young man, and he had never appeared in any of the gatherings with the higher-ups.

“Lord Mayor, do you think that young man is from the Ziya Territorial Waters?” Another subordinate asked after some thought.

“It’s possible. Cultivators from other territorial waters, or even faraway lands, often come here to the Ziya Territorial Waters.” The Muhong City Mayor nodded when he heard the words. Cultivators who traveled here from foreign land were rare, but they existed.

“Mayor, we don’t have to care so much about this. If that young man really comes from a notable background, it will come to light sooner or later. He can’t hide in Yingyun City forever,” a subordinate said. “Those who had connections could scare off their enemies with a single call home, so there was no reason he would be hiding in Yingyun City like a coward.”

“Hmm, it doesn’t matter what you think. I have to have Yingyun City,” the Muhong City Mayor said mildly. He had not been idling these past few days, and had spent quite some time gathering information about this young man, even asking all of his influential friends. Of the powerful ones he could not afford to offend, this youth was definitely not known to them. This eased his mind somewhat and allowed him to let go of the fears and suspicion that had seized his heart since his battled Mo Wen. He was now prepared to head out and attack Yingyun City.

It was not so much that the Muhong City Mayor was too cautious, but it was really that the young man had come across as ruthless. He was only a Tide Changing Realm cultivator, but he already possessed such strengths, and even his Primordial Soul cultivation was stronger than the mayor.

On their side, the Muhong City cultivators blew the horn, and a vast horde of cultivators flew towards Yingyun City. At the same time, a fleet of battleships had mobilized, and hundreds of thousands of spiritual power cannons were aimed at Yingyun City. A large-scale siege like this one could not be achieved by relying only on cultivators. The operation also involved a large train of siege weaponry.

The spiritual power cannon was an exceptionally formidable weapon focused solely on attacking. A high-level spiritual power cannon could even directly kill a Primordial Soul Realm cultivator. If there were enough of those weapons, not even a Tide Changing Realm cultivator could withstand the attacks. Theoretically speaking, the spiritual power cannon could blast a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator dead, but of course, neither Muhong City nor Yingyun City had a spiritual power cannon of this level.

“Mayor, we should be able to take the city down within half a month if we maintain this level of offense.”

An elder walked up to stand beside the Muhong City Mayor. He was the Vice Mayor of Muhong City, a Tide Changing Realm cultivator by the name of Ge Tai. His cultivation was somewhat advanced, and he was much more able than Elder Xue.

“Yingyun City has some high-level stratagems that will be difficult to destroy even if you wanted to. I’m afraid it’ll take more than a month,” the Muhong City Mayor nodded his head. He had been good friends with Wise Man Huai Guang, so he knew the ins and outs of Yingyun City exceptionally well. This was also why the mayor did not dare to storm the defenses of Yingyun City directly, electing to stick to such a strategy of whittling the city down bit by bit. Once Yingyun City’s resources were more or less depleted, he would then attack the city proper.

In Yingyun City, Huai Hongxiu had already been standing atop the city walls, personally directing the battle.

At this time, a looming, blue curtain of light enveloped the city entirely. Outside of it was an array of colors as spiritual light glimmered ceaselessly, and an endless stream of attacks was launched on their shields. Hundreds of thousands of cultivators struck out all at once, and the scene was one of unimaginable devastation and ruin. The entire Heaven and Earth had been filled with spiritual light of all kinds and colors, and everything within a ten thousand-mile radius had been damaged in varying degrees.

Cultivators from Muhong City mustered thousands of spiritual power cannon. Every time it was fired, the protective light shroud over Yingyun City shook and trembled violently, threatening to shatter.

There was a sizeable host of Muhong City cultivators outside the city, well over thousands of them.

Of course, Yingyun City had a lot of cultivators too. A large number of them appeared on the city walls and released their remarkable powers without pause. There were several thousand spiritual power cannons, carefully placed along the city walls, and all of them were aimed at the outside, firing incessantly.

The enormous light shroud protecting the city obviously could not keep guarding Yingyun City for too long, and it was eventually be brought down. The moment it was breached, large numbers of Muhong City cultivators surged into the city, and cultivators from both sides started fighting.

However, although Yingyun City suffered casualties, Muhong City had more dead cultivators. This was because the Yingyun City cultivators were protected by the stratagems within the city, and they benefited from the right timing and terrain advantages. In the few days they had been fighting with Muhong City, it seemed like the latter had suffered many more casualties.

“Hurry and call for His Excellency Mo Wen.”

Huai Hongxiu’s face was stern as she stood on the castle walls. She knew that the intense battle right before her eyes was only the prelude, and the higher level Muhong City cultivators had not appeared yet. The most terrifying part of this was not the hundreds and thousands of cultivators in front of her eyes, but the Muhong City Mayor himself.

Before this, she had relied on the stratagems of Yingyun City and several treasures, and even then, she had barely been holding her own against the Muhong City Mayor. After several bouts of battle, she had already been injured, and her body was starting to fail her. However, news of her injury had not spread.

The good thing was that she now had Mo Wen on her side. Even though he was not a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator, he could hold his own against one, and this would boost her own power significantly.

“There’s no need for that… I’m here.” A voice suddenly rang out from the city wall— who else could it be, if not Mo Wen? No one knew when he arrived, but a slender figure had suddenly appeared on the city wall.

An expression of shock showed in Huai Hongxiu’s eyes. How did this Mo Wen come to the city walls? He was indeed not as simple as he seems; she did not even notice him.

“Brother Mo Wen, I’m worried the mayor of Muhong City will fight his way to the city walls. Fight with me later to stop him,” Huai Hongxiu called out.

Here, she and Mo Wen were the only ones who could stop the Muhong City Mayor. Not even Elder Xue could manage this.

“There’s no need to wait until he fights his way up here to the city walls, I can just go out and meet him,” Mo Wen said impassively.

Hearing Mo Wen’s words, the cultivators in Yingyun City were taken aback. Mo Wen was still planning to fight his way out, even in this situation. Surely, there were better ways to seek death?
