This question was actually within Lin Guang's expectations.

"How about adding this?"

Lin Guang raised his hand, and a ball of crimson flame rose in his palm, instantly purifying the putrid demonic qi in the air as if snow had melted in hot soup.

Samadhi True Fire, along with the Four-Star [Demon Refining] Spirit Pattern.

A perfect counter against the Demon Race and demonic qi.

"This is the flame from the treatment just now... it really can restrain this outer-world evil qi!"

For the first time, a trace of amazement appeared on City Lord Tie's face: "If this fire could be added to the Infinite Array, there might indeed be a chance to slay the leader."

"Unfortunately, if it were possible, I would very much like to add it to Beishan City's defensive grand array."

Lin Guang shook his head and sighed: "But ultimately, no matter how much it restrains evil qi, it still cannot outpace its consumption."

— Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, once polluted by demonic qi, becomes energy ordinary life forms find hard to absorb.

If Lin Guang's [Demon Refining] Spirit Pattern could reach the level of Six-Star or Seven-Star, or if his skills were higher, it might indeed purify demonic qi while absorbing external spiritual mechanism to maintain a self-cycle and even produce surplus spiritual qi.

But currently... he really was powerless.

"No, it's already enough, at least there's hope worth trying!"

After the excitement, City Lord Tie took a deep breath, staring into Lin Guang's eyes: "Fellow Daoist Lin, are you so urgent because you are leaving?"

"..."

Lin Guang glanced at the countdown for the end of the trial and nodded.

"Yes, fellow Daoist, as a disciple of the Supreme Immortal Sect, encountering such a drastic change upon leaving seclusion, I indeed need to return to the sect."

City Lord Tie exhaled a long breath, shook his head: "With the city defense array losing its function, the situation in battle will become tense immediately. I must go now to hold the overall situation."

"When you have dealt with everything, immediately have your son contact me, and we will depart as quickly as possible."

"Rest assured, as long as you successfully modify the array, no matter what, the cultivators of Beishan City will open a path for you."

Being a decisive person, after handing over the Black and White Compass for activating the array to Lin Guang, City Lord Tie turned into a stream of light and left.

Surrounding this square stele, Lin Guang observed for a long time, even having Lisa hold him up with Spiritual Power to view the spirit patterns on top of the cube, and then observing the ocean of spirit patterns displayed by the Inheritance Compass, before finally returning to his senses with a knowing expression.

"What do you say?"

Seeing this, Vishdair couldn't help but ask.

"This time, we really have to rely on you."

Lin Guang looked at Vishdair.

The silver-haired girl was slightly taken aback: "Me?"

Lin Guang's expression was serious as he transmitted words using his Spiritual Power: "Actually, there's one thing I lied to City Lord Tie about, which is that even after modifying this array, it can only gather power but cannot integrate it into a single strike."

"The offensive array patterns of the city defense simply can't convert such a massive amount of energy at once."

"But I'm not familiar with the arrays in the compass and wouldn't be able to confidently call upon them—even I am not a professional Miracle Master setting up spirit rune arrays."

"In this regard, we have to rely on ourselves."

"So this time... it should be an unprecedented huge explosion."

"Vishdair, it's up to you."

Vishdair slightly opened her mouth.

She looked at Lin Guang, then at the square stele, then turned around, looking towards the direction where the flesh mountain was, understanding something.

Only to see the two red antennae on the girl's originally drooping forehead perk up visibly.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"

The girl's delicate, pretty face showed a nearly unbearable look of excitement, she pounced onto Lin Guang, wrapping her arms and legs tightly around his waist and neck, hanging onto him directly, and eagerly exclaimed: "What are we waiting for? Come on, come on, come on—"

......…

The defense grand array of Beishan City lost its function.

Presumably noticing this, the Demon Race's assault became increasingly ferocious, even with many Tier Four demons joining, seemingly wanting to quickly destroy Beishan City.

Several Golden Core cultivators and City Lord Tie launched another attack.

But solely relying on their power, faced with the ever-surging demons, the situation started to become unfavorable.

An hour later, the east side of Beishan City reported an emergency, with the front lines pushed to less than a hundred meters from the city walls, prompting Chelina to make a decisive move, her sword light sweeping across the battlefield without impediment.

Even as she endeavored to conserve Ether as much as possible per Lin Guang's request, her prowess remained astonishing, significantly slowing the Demon's offensive pace.

Two hours later, the west side similarly reported an emergency, forcing Lisa to cease her aid to Lin Guang and head to the battlefield.

Incidentally, although the two partners had ostensibly traveled far to the battlefield, "far away" from Lin Guang.

With 10% inheritance core authority, Lin Guang could already sense that it was merely the Illusion Realm changing.

In reality, the straight-line distance between both sides never exceeded a hundred meters.

Lin Guang could feel it through contracts, and also grant them Talent Blessing.

Only Vishdair remained with Lin Guang, familiarizing herself with the grand array that began undergoing modifications and adjustments.

Even if she didn't understand array principles, the True Intent Inheritance of [Red Dragon Devouring Demon Refinement], gifted by True Man Tianmu, originated from an array map of a spirit rune array, and having accepted this True Intent Inheritance with Lin Guang, she naturally could contribute.

After consuming the third packet of Spirit Strength Scattering Powder, Lin Guang finally completed the modification and adjustment of the array, placing the spiritual materials at crucial nodes.

He exhaled a long breath, allowing the youth to notify City Lord Tie with a Communication Spiritual Artifact.

Soon, several streams of light descended on the plaza, the other cultivators familiar with arrays responsible for maintaining array nodes usually.

Without hesitation, Lin Guang injected his Spiritual Power into the Black and White Compass.

Buzz——

Soon, the intricate spirit patterns on the square stele emitted a faint glow, without a trace of backlash or explosion signs — clearly indicating the grand array resuming normal operation.

But this time it was reverse.

The power from arrays dormant throughout the inner city began being drawn and converged like a whale sucking water, surging towards the square stele.

After a round of examination, the cultivators' faces showed expressions of surprise and excitement: "Young City Lord, this senior has really successfully modified the array!"

"The City Lord has already set off with several commanders, beginning to open a path for Senior!"

"You can prepare to act now!"

However, seeing this scene, the young man's face showed little joy.

Lin Guang noticed that his hand had somehow already gripped the City Lord's Seal which his father had placed in it.

Merely a few days of blood and fire, yet this young man named Tie Ruonan seemed to have suddenly grown up, changing much.

He looked at Lin Guang, speaking softly: "Senior... it's all up to you now."

"Alright."

With the signal coming from the Jade Pendant, Lin Guang extended his hand to Vishdair.

"Let's go up."

In the next moment, Vishdair held Lin Guang tightly, then with one leap, they jumped atop the square stele.

Here, already higher than the city walls, they could see the specific battlefield scenes.

Across the battlefield outside the city, were dozens of escape lights streaking through.

A most brilliant iron-gray escape light, with five lesser ones beside it, and dozens more dim ones.

These multi-colored streams of light shot skyward in all directions, like meteors flying in reverse flight together with several flying ships.
