Atop the walls of Jinxiu City.

The Rooster stood there quietly, with only Miao Yi Niang and Shen Xingxue accompanying him.

"Elder Rooster, how is it? Are they about to launch the fourth attack?" Shen Xingxue asked the Rooster, her face tinged with a faint worry.

The Rooster glanced at Shen Xingxue, then turned his head to look at Miao Yi Niang, "What are you two worried about? Are you worried that Lord Rooster can't handle them? Fear not! Since Lord Rooster has said that he can hold this city for at least a year, it will be a year. Without a drop of doubt! You two just go back and cultivate, you don't need to worry about these matters! A year should be plenty for you to break through to the Primordial Infant stage. By then, even if we can't hold the city, Lord Rooster will have a way to get you out of here."

As the Rooster spoke, he glanced toward the distant north and whispered, "If Lord Rooster's guess isn't wrong, Chu Mo should have already succeeded! Hmph, all these damned sects and families, they have all sent people to investigate the north. As soon as they confirm that the old turtle is truly dead, they will definitely choose to retreat at the first chance! Then we will be safe."

Miao Yi Niang looked at the Rooster and gave a wry smile, "Elder speaks lightly. With the enemy before us, how can we have the heart to cultivate? Do you really think Chu Mo can succeed?"

The Rooster nodded, "Of course. Although you two have spent much more time with this lad than I have, there are things about him that you don't understand as well as I do. This lad has a big ace up his sleeve! The destructive disturbance that came from the north before, that must have been him using his ace. Hey... it's terrifying, with a little more time, I fear the entire Spirit Realm might have been destroyed. Such a level of battle should not occur in the Spirit Realm. Even in the Immortal Realm... it should not happen!"

Miao Yi Niang and Shen Xingxue's faces both showed deep worry. Both women wondered, if Chu Mo was safe and sound, then why... had he not contacted them yet?

Chu Mo did have a messaging stone on him, but they didn't dare to contact him first, fearing they might disturb him. Many days had passed since the upheaval in the north, yet there had been no news from him.

Last night, Miao Yi Niang finally couldn't restrain herself and tried contacting Chu Mo with the messaging stone, but there was no response.

This weighed heavily on Miao Yi Niang's heart, but she did not speak of it, fearing it would disturb the morale.

The Rooster looked at the two women and said, "Alright, go back. Look at the activity over there, if the fourth attack doesn't come tonight, it will surely come early tomorrow. Lord Rooster has prepared a big surprise for them this time!"

"Are you sure it's no problem? I see that their numbers... have already surpassed ten thousand!" Shen Xingxue's eyes couldn't help but flash with worry, "Those aren't ten thousand ordinary soldiers, those are ten thousand powerful cultivators!"

Miao Yi Niang also looked worriedly at the Rooster.

"Does having more people necessarily make them formidable? No such rule! No matter how large a flock of sheep is, when it encounters wolves, it still has to desperately run. Most of the injuries and deaths might not even be caused by the wolves, but rather by them trampling each other," the Rooster said cheerfully, then chuckled, "Rest assured, Lord Rooster promised that lad, I will protect you. Go back."

In the end, Miao Yi Niang and Shen Xingxue were persuaded by the Rooster to return, stabilizing everyone's emotions at the City Lord's Mansion.

With Chu Mo absent, they were the reassurance for everyone in Jinxiu City!

As long as they did not show any signs of panic, Jinxiu City would not descend into chaos.

Subsequently, Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong rushed over to meet with the Rooster.

After numerous terrifying battles between life and death, both men were injured and had not fully recovered.

Even though they were cultivators almost reaching the realm of Spirit Refining, they couldn't withstand the enemy's furious attacks. After all, the enemy also had masters of half-step Spirit Refining.

Fortunately, their mental states were slightly different. Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong were fighting with their backs against the wall, they had no retreat and no thoughts of retreating. Thus, every battle for them was a fight to the death!

Two cultivators, determined to fight to the death, would strike fear in anyone.

In contrast, the mentality on the side of the allied forces was far less resolute.

After all, they came for gains, not to throw away their lives!

These large sects and families had already lost many lives. Those who were still alive did not want to remain here.

Therefore, although Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong struggled in battle, they were still able to hold on.

Xiao Wanjun looked at the rooster, "Senior, do we really not take the lead in this fight?"

Li Fangzhong earnestly said, "Senior, we two old immortals owe a huge debt of gratitude to our master, who rescued us from that dark and sunless prison. Dying for our master is the least we can do!"

"Don't worry, I don't need you two. Otherwise, when that lad comes back and sees you both dead, wouldn't he fight me desperately?" The rooster laughed and said, "Since the lad was willing to take you in, it shows that he still wants to continue training you. So, you can't fall here."

"But senior, you are alone..." Xiao Wanjun frowned.

"Once they attack, you'll understand, and I, Elder Rooster, will show you what a real master looks like!" the rooster said confidently.

"Alright then, we'll support Senior from behind!" Li Fangzhong said.

Late at night.

All of Jinxiu City had fallen into silence.

Because of this battle, the residents of Jinxiu City were extremely anxious. Almost no one sought entertainment at night. The usually lively brothels and taverns had closed their doors early today.

The rooster quietly stood on the city wall, gazing into the distance.

The darkness of the night could not block the rooster's vision.

Suddenly!

A large group of figures, taking advantage of the cover of night, came speeding toward Jinxiu City!

In an instant, they moved like streaks of lightning, a dark mass... like a flock of birds descending from the sky. The aura bursting forth from this group was overwhelming, capable of crushing anyone alive!

Boom!

From within Jinxiu City, a majestic aura burst forth from the City Lord's Mansion, extending towards the distant horizon.

This time, the Fire Dragon was truly enraged. This group of people had attacked Jinxiu City time and again, blatantly disregarding it. How could such a proud dragon tolerate this? If it weren't sealed within the cup, unable to unleash its true strength, it would have blown these ants away in one breath!

A dragon finds itself mocked by shrimps in shallow waters!

But the dignity of a dragon is still inviolable!

The group had not expected today's dragon's prestige to be much stronger than before.

Some cultivators with weaker cultivation had just touched this dragon's prestige and felt a stifling sensation, struggling to breathe. Moving forward a bit further, the power within their bodies started to ignite. There were even signs of Dao Conversion!

"Those who can't withstand it, retreat! That dragon is definitely sealed! It can't exert all its power! Those who can withstand it, don't be afraid, charge in! Slaughter that dragon along with them!" someone among the crowd shouted loudly.

---------------

The eighth update, with only one hour left, brothers, up to now... I really have no strength left. My fingers are numb. As for tendonitis... does that even matter? I've had it long ago!

I can't write anymore, I'll just quietly watch you all here.

Indeed, there are no regrets in victory or defeat, for I have already given my all.
