The effect of the Forbidden Breaking Bead disappeared, the power of the "Nine-Sect Heavenly Demon Array" was partially restored, and the aura of the light red light curtain became a little brighter again.

"Rumble"

Each piece of magic weapon and magical power still falls on the light red light shield, and the formation still trembles slightly.

However, the waves on the light red mask are far less than before, which is far from the ideal effect.

In this case, it is almost impossible to break the formation and attack the city in a short time.

Realizing this situation, the faces of Guo Poyun, Zhuo Mengzhen and others also changed and became as dark as water.

At the same time, the other monks who were attacking the formation were doing the same.

"This formation is as immovable as a mountain. Can we really break through this formation before the reinforcements of the demon cultivators arrive?"

Thinking of this, many monks began to feel despair in their hearts.

They continued to attack in silence, but they didn't say a word, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

"It's really a bit difficult to handle."

"Are we really going to start a life of hiding?"

Liu Yu looked gloomy as this thought flashed through his mind.

Just as he was about to greet Zhuo Mengzhen, Guo Poyun and the others and continue to the next formation node, they suddenly heard several bells ringing in succession.

"Dong dong dong~"

Amidst the continuous roar of magic weapons and spells, several loud bells suddenly broke in, causing many monks who were constantly attacking to move.

According to the prior agreement, when this kind of bell rings, it has only one meaning - to retreat the troops.

Among the approximately one hundred and sixty Jindan monks, nearly one-third are close followers of the Zhang family, or have a close relationship with the Zhang family.

Hearing the sound of the bell, more than forty monks immediately stopped what they were doing and turned into escaping light and returned in the direction of the three spiritual ships.

"Every moment of delay increases the risk."

"Zhang Tao ordered Jin to withdraw his troops at this time. Could it be that he wanted to give up this operation?"

This thought flashed through the minds of many monks, and their faces immediately became extremely ugly.

Once this kind of thing starts, is there any way out?

However, the matter has come to this. Without the Zhang family as the main force, they would not be able to continue the operation at all.

Therefore, after a little hesitation, he turned into a escaping light and headed back towards the three spiritual ships.

Liu Yu was clearly aware of this, so he did not hesitate at all. The moment the bell rang, he changed direction and led the remaining six people in his team to fly towards the Dingnan.

"tread"

After an explosive flight, in just a few breaths, the seven people fell on the deck.

Then a number of Jindan monks landed on the deck one after another.

While waiting for Zhang Tao's explanation, he had already taken out the spirit stones to restore his mana. Although the time it took to attack the formation was only about two-quarters of an hour, the intense attack consumed a lot of mana.

In this situation, only by keeping the mana in the Dantian full at all times can we have greater confidence in surviving. All the monks did not waste this precious time.

"Tap tap tap"

The sound of footsteps hitting the ground sounded one after another.

After a while, the deck of the Dingnan was filled with people, and all the monks gathered here.

"Elder Tianling has not sent any more news. I wonder what the situation is over there? Are we at an advantage or at a disadvantage?"

"This "Nine Heavenly Demon Array" is indeed a bit tricky."

Looking at the light red screen in the distance, Zhang Tao's eyes flashed with worry, but his face showed a confident look.

As a commander-in-chief, he naturally cannot express his worries easily. If he showed lack of confidence, wouldn't the morale of the army be even more shaken?

"But judging from the fact that we have been attacking Lingwu City for so long and have not yet been affected by the fourth-order demon king, the elders at least have not fallen into a disadvantage."

This thought swirled in his mind.

Immediately, Zhang Tao turned his eyes, looked at the monks with different expressions on the deck, and said slowly:

"Fellow Taoists, don't worry. After all, the "Nine-Sect Heavenly Demon Formation" is a fourth-level mid-level specialized defense formation. How can it be a vain name?"

"Being able to achieve this level at present has already met Lao Cao's prior expectations."

"Fellow Taoists, please rest assured that the Zhang family has prepared several means specifically to restrain this formation."

"It's not convenient to say anything at this time, but I believe that my fellow Taoists will not be disappointed."

"Everything is still under control!"

The old and confident voice spread throughout the entire deck and reached every monk's ears clearly.

"Still under control?"

"So, the Zhang family still has some methods that they haven't used yet?"

Beside Liu Yu, a monk murmured.

Hearing that there was still hope, the monk who was already a little desperate, his eyes gradually regained some sparkle, and hope began to rise again in his heart.

The Jindan monks present were all imprisoned for various reasons and lived a life worse than that of ordinary mortals.

The long or short life of prisoners made these monks extremely sensitive, often easily worried about gains and losses, and easily affected by the situation and environment.

After all, the gap between freedom and death is too great, and not all monks can accept it calmly.

Drowning people always try their best to grab the life-saving straw.

At this time, they heard that the Zhang family still had some means that they had not yet resorted to. Although Zhang Tao did not elaborate, they were still willing to believe it instinctively.

If you don’t believe it, wouldn’t it be more despairing?!

"Fellow Taoists, don't worry, I'm old."

Seeing the reactions of many monks present, Zhang Tao immediately smiled and continued to boost morale.

Fei Hengfei drew "big cakes" for many monks present. He longed for freedom and focused on describing the beauty of freedom.

For example, after conquering Lingwu City and then going to freedom, you will have enough time to visit the great rivers and mountains of the Central Region and experience various exotic customs and beauties.

For the monks who are eager to take a step closer to the path, they solemnly express that the Zhang family's previous promises will never be reneged on or compromised in the slightest, and the promised spiritual objects will definitely be every bit as much.

Zhang Tao's tone was unpleasant and unpleasant, and his words were full of sincerity.

After some rhetoric, it did have a good effect, and many monks regained their fighting spirit.

The atmosphere in the venue was finally no longer as cold and depressing as before.

"Every monk who wants to continue to climb up will encounter difficulties every step of the way."

"To a certain extent, in this cruel and dark world of immortality, there is indeed a need for "big cake"."

Among the crowd, Liu Yu smiled slightly and looked at this familiar scene quietly.

After becoming an elder of the sect, he seemed to have said similar words to many of his disciples.

In just a dozen breaths, Zhang Tao said whatever these comrades wanted, which effectively boosted their morale.

Looking at the people who had regained their fighting spirit, he nodded secretly in his heart.

Immediately, Zhang Ziping and Kong Lingxiu reorganized their manpower into teams and made corresponding arrangements for the demon cultivator's current defense strategy.

Zhang Tao, on the other hand, met a famous monk in the cabin.

Watching some unknown and ordinary-looking monks enter the cabin and communicate with the Zhang family's "general manager", many monks had curiosity flashing in their eyes, but they didn't ask any more questions.

"Looking at this situation, it seems that Zhang Tao wants to "prescribe the right medicine"."

Liu Yu looked thoughtful as he watched the monks entering the cabin one after another to talk.

His keen spiritual sense allowed him to clearly sense that the invited monks were not simple. Although he had no reputation in the circle of Jindan monks and acted in a low-key manner, his strength was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary monks.

This kind of monk has a very clear understanding of his own strength and what he needs, so it is difficult to be moved by the "painting cake" rhetoric.

To a certain extent, Liu Yu is this kind of monk.

Since time is tight, we must not waste it too much.

Therefore, each communication did not last too long, usually lasting more than ten breaths.

Soon, a seemingly ordinary and low-key monk slowly walked out of the cabin.

"Fellow Taoist from the ancient city, please come in and have a chat!"

And in Liu Yu's ears, Zhang Tao's voice sounded as loud as a bell,

With a flash of consciousness, he nodded slightly towards Zhuo Mengzhen and Guo Poyun, and walked towards the cabin.

"tread"

Steady footsteps sounded, and under the gaze of more than a hundred pairs of eyes, Liu Yu strode towards the cabin, and her figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Anyone who can cultivate the golden elixir is certainly not a stupid person, and everyone is well aware of Zhang Tao's intention of inviting him to see him alone.
