Zhang Lei nodded vigorously, his expression filled with urgency.
"Yes! Xuan Yuan Rou has indeed brought her army here! The City Lord's Mansion is in a state of panic. We need to prepare ourselves quickly!"
Cheng Fudi's face darkened as he felt the gravity of the situation.
"Gather everyone! We must set up the City Defense Formation immediately and prepare for battle!"
Zhang Lei hurriedly ran to relay the orders, while Cheng Fudi stood there, contemplating the dire circumstances.
Meanwhile, in the distance, the imposing figure of Xuan Yuan Rou could be seen approaching with her troops. The aura surrounding her was fierce, and the soldiers behind her were equally intimidating.
Cheng Fudi knew that this was not just an ordinary attack; Xuan Yuan Rou's strength was on a different level and could not be underestimated.
He took a deep breath, his mind racing as he strategized the best course of action.
"Looks like we need to call for backup from the great experts nearby. If we’re going to face Xuan Yuan Rou, we can't do it alone."
Just as he was about to send out the message, a sudden burst of light erupted from the direction of the city gates.
The City Defense Light Barrier activated, casting a protective shield around the city.
"Good! At least we have some time to prepare," Cheng Fudi thought as he rallied the remaining defenders.
As the tension in the air thickened, the citizens of the city watched in fear and anticipation, knowing that a fierce battle was about to unfold.
In the heart of the city, the elders gathered in the Pavilion of Ascending to the Heavens, discussing their next move.
"We must not falter in the face of this threat. The honor of our city is at stake!" one elder declared with determination.
Cheng Fudi joined them, urgency in his voice.
"Xuan Yuan Rou won't back down easily. We need to come up with a solid plan. Our defenses must hold strong!"
The elders nodded in agreement, their expressions serious as they began to strategize.
Outside, Xuan Yuan Rou’s forces continued to advance, their battle cries echoing through the trees and filling the air with a sense of impending doom.
Cheng Fudi could feel the heat of the battle approaching, and he steeled himself for what was to come.
"What the hell is this?" Cheng Fudi frowned, "I'm not worried about their attack. We have the City Defense Formation set up by the chief overseer; even an emperor realm expert can't break through it."
"What I'm worried about is how Xuan Yuan Rou and the others escaped from my big brother and Ye Wuji's grasp and appeared in our Qing Tian Immortal City?"
"Could it be that my big brother and Ye Wuji are in trouble?"
"Impossible! My big brother is a great expert in the first stage of the emperor sovereign realm, and Ye Wuji is a great expert in the second stage. How could Xuan Yuan Rou, no matter how powerful she is, be their opponent?"
"Could it be a cunning plan to cut off the source?"
With doubts in mind, Cheng Fudi led Zhang Lei and hurried through the teleportation array of the Deputy City Lord's Mansion, arriving at the city gate.
Looking through the faint purple light of the City Defense Formation, Cheng Fudi was shocked by the scene outside the city!
Behind Xuan Yuan Rou, Tan Yun, Shen Subing, and others stood a grand army of billions of immortals, ready for battle!
However, in the next moment, Cheng Fudi laughed, "Xuan Yuan Rou, I am just a high-level immortal in the eleventh stage of the emperor realm."
"I admit that without my big brother present, I am not your opponent."
"But I also know that with your strength, you are not a match for my big brother and Ye Wuji at all."
"Let me guess, your plan is to cut off the source, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuan Rou responded coldly, "So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"
"Your big brother and Ye Wuji probably still don't know that I, the City Lord, have besieged Qing Tian Immortal City!"
"When he breaks through the formation over at Xuan Yuan Immortal City, he won't realize that his lair has already been taken by me."
