The city lord Zheng Baoyuan was gathering with the three innate monks he had recruited to discuss matters.
Several people had a somewhat worried look on their faces.
"Now the city defense formation is seriously damaged, and its power is no longer 60-70% of what it was at its peak. If it cannot be repaired in time, the next time a beast wave attacks the city, our Xinghua City may be lost."
"Even if we can defend it, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties."
"City Lord, we must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible."
The three Xiantian monks said something to you and me, all looking at Zheng Baoyuan.
Zheng Baoyuan shook his head and sighed.
Of course it is impossible for him to have any countermeasures!
If you want to keep Xinghua Castle, you must restore the city's defense.
Seeing that Zheng Baoyuan didn't say anything, one of the old men with white beard couldn't help but asked: "City Lord, has there been any reply from Shangzong?"
"Well, there should be news soon.
I have promised a lot of benefits this time, and the Immortal Master of the Sect will definitely come."
Zheng Baoyuan said.
When the three casual cultivators heard this, they cursed in their hearts.
This is what Zheng Baoyuan has said in the past few months, but after waiting for so long, the immortal master of the Shangzong has not come even once.
"City Lord, the situation is critical this time! If possible, I hope you can offer some more benefits to the Immortal Master of the Sect..." the white-bearded old man reminded.
The other two casual cultivators also nodded repeatedly.
They all know very well that this Zheng Baoyuan is good at everything, but he is not grand enough.
Xinghua City, among the many auxiliary cities of Shangzong, is located in a remote area. Most immortal masters of Shangzong are not willing to accept the task of repairing the city protection formation here.
After all, the distance is too far, and it would be very dangerous to cross the wild land where monsters are rampant.
If there are not enough benefits, who would be willing to come here.
A few months ago, an immortal master from the Shangzong came over to repair the city-protecting array and asked for a large amount of additional supplies from Zheng Baoyuan. Zheng Baoyuan was reluctant and only willing to give a small part of what the other party asked for. As a result, he became angry with the other party.
Therefore, in the past few months, there has been no immortal master from the Shang Sect, and it may also be because of the immortal master from last time.
"Don't worry, everyone, I know how powerful it is, so when I sent the letter to Shang Zong this time, I made it clear that no matter which immortal master comes to repair the city protection array, I will take out 30% of the materials in the treasury as extra reward.
."
Zheng Baoyuan said.
When the three casual cultivators heard this, they felt helpless in their hearts.
Although the 30% of the supplies in the treasury is a large amount, it would be enough to repair the city defense formation in normal times.
But now, the city-protecting array has withstood the impact of beast tides attacking the city several times. It is severely damaged and is extremely difficult to repair. If you want to attract the Immortal Master of the Sect, 30% of the supplies will not be enough.
At this moment, it is really disappointing to still be so fussy about Sosou.
The white-bearded old man sighed and said: "City Lord, we have something to say before you.
If the Shangzong Immortal Master hadn’t come over to repair the city defense formation this time, the possibility of Xinghua City being lost would be too great, and we wouldn’t stay to defend the city.”
The other two casual cultivators also spoke out as if they had already discussed it.
"Yes, although we were hired by you to serve your guests, we have also assisted you in defending the city against beasts over the years, so we can be considered worthy of you."
"We will wait another ten days. If the immortal master from Shangzong has not come to repair the city protection array, we will leave Xinghua City and go to other cities to settle."
People like them who have entered the Xiantian Realm, no matter which city they go to, will be very popular and treated as honored guests. Naturally, they will not stay and coexist with Xinghua City.
Hearing this, Zheng Baoyuan showed a hint of shock and anger on his face, but then he nodded helplessly and said: "This city lord can also understand the choices of the three of you.
If there is still no Immortal Master from the Shangzong within ten days, the three of you can just do what you want."
At this moment, the guard captain hurried to the front of the hall and shouted loudly: "City Lord, I have something big to report for my humble position!"
Zheng Baoyuan frowned and scolded: "There are no rules. I am discussing important matters with several priests. How can you be so polite outside shouting and screaming!"
The guard captain did not bother to apologize and quickly explained: "City Lord, a casual cultivator has come from outside the city. He is proficient in formations and says he can repair our Xinghua City's city defense formation!"
"What did you say!!!"
Zheng Baoyuan and the three casual cultivators all changed their expressions.
"Rogue cultivator?
Proficient in the art of formation?"
"This is impossible!"
"How can casual cultivators have access to the inherited knowledge of the formation?"
The three casual cultivators all looked disbelieving.
Zheng Baoyuan also looked suspicious.
After all, even in Shangzong, there are only a very small number of immortal masters who are involved in formations.
"It's true. The casual cultivator also repaired some of the missing and damaged formation patterns, and asked the city lord to check it out for yourself."
The guard captain promised emphatically.
The three casual cultivators were surprised and happy. The old man with a white beard said: "It would be great if there is a channel for casual cultivators who are proficient in formations. Not only can it solve this urgent need, but if the city lord can win over this person, we will be able to win over him in the future."
Then Huacheng will be safe."
Zheng Baoyuan did not show any joy, he frowned and said: "It's hard to tell whether it's true or not. Let's go over and see how the other party's repaired array pattern looks like."
After saying that, he moved quickly, grabbed the guard captain, and flew away outside the city.
Three casual cultivators followed immediately behind.
Soon, they flew outside the city gate.
"City Lord, this is Immortal Master Su Yunsu. The missing and damaged formations at the gate of the city were the ones he had repaired before."
As soon as the guard captain was put down by Zheng Baoyuan, he immediately took the initiative to introduce Su Yun.
Zheng Baoyuan and the three casual cultivators did not exchange polite greetings with Su Yun. Instead, they immediately looked at the repaired formations at the city gate.
In the past few monster waves, they had fought against the monsters at the top of the city. Naturally, they knew that the array patterns in those areas were missing and damaged.
At this moment, with a quick glance, he immediately locked onto the repaired area.
"It's completely natural!"
"I see no signs of patching at all."
"City Lord, please use the City Lord's order to mobilize the formation in this area and check it out."
The three casual cultivators saw no problem in worshiping themselves, so for the sake of safety, they asked Zheng Baoyuan to mobilize the formation and conduct verification.
Zheng Baoyuan remained silent and took out a red gold token from his body.
As he injected spiritual power to activate the gold medal, the formation in the small area that had been repaired at the city gate quickly moved into action.
A barrier like a water curtain appeared and attached to the surface of the wall.
This layer of barrier seems simple, but it can greatly reduce the attacks of monsters.
"No problem! There is no problem with the formation pattern repaired by this fellow Taoist."
Three casual cultivators worship the Xingxing Tao.
Seeing this, Su Yun said: "Since it has been verified that there is no problem, then we can talk about the remuneration.
As long as you, the city lord, can give me enough training materials, I can repair the entire city's formation for you."
The three old men with white beards all winked at Zheng Baoyuan, telling him not to be stingy and spend a lot of money to win over Su Yun.
However, Zheng Baoyuan turned a deaf ear and after pondering for a while, he said with a smile: "The reward is easy to talk about. As long as you can repair the entire protective circle in Xinghua City, the city lord is willing to use 10% of the supplies in the treasury.
