Chapter 313: Night Attack On Yunxiao City

Chapter 313: Night Attack On Yunxiao City

It was like being teased by his friends about his exam scores when he suddenly topped the charts. Chu Ge sat there, feeling somewhat dazed and overwhelmed, shaking his head while reflecting on the mixed emotions.

In the past, he would’ve felt uncomfortable with this kind of off-site ‘boost’ in his rankings, thinking it wasn’t his work’s accomplishment. But now, after multiple similar incidents occurred one after another, he became somewhat numb to it. His ultimate goal was to expand his control over his world, and he was willing to use whatever means necessary. He wasn’t deliberately orchestrating these events, so why bother about it?

This kind of honor from topping the charts was real.

Who among those who write hasn’t had such a dream?

Dreams just like that unexpectedly turned into reality.

At this moment, Chu Ge’s mind was filled with fleeting thoughts – his literary dreams in his youth, working just to make ends meet after entering the industry, the hardships of part-time writing, the determination to quit his job. They said part-time work couldn’t be handled, and choices had to be made, and in the end, he chose writing over work, reflecting his love for this profession.

Then years passed, and he lived from paycheck to paycheck. He and Zhang Qiren worked tirelessly, even to the point of getting sick.

He absentmindedly leaned back in his chair for a moment, as if habitually massaging his lower back. Slowly, he closed the webpage and opened a document.

Writing – why was he even doing it?

This kind of fervor was fleeting, meaningless, and fundamentally represented nothing. The only thing it could touch was his own hidden emotions.

Honestly completing this world is the proper way to go. Everything else is secondary.

It was quite coincidental, as his real life encounter with a foreign enemy aligned with the plot of overseas invasion and war.

Due to Chu Tiange’s early warning and Xie Jiuxiao’s observations, the situation was under control on their side, and they were not caught off guard by the large-scale foreign invasion. Thanks to Qiu Wuji’s central coordination, a situation resembling “closing the door to catch the thieves” had formed.

Disciples of the Cloud Horizon Sect advanced, blocking the eastern sea, while Qiu Wuji personally set up a massive sword formation in the distant seas.

The influx of enemy forces was temporarily interrupted, and breaking through Qiu Wuji’s restricted area wasn’t something that could be accomplished quickly.

Meanwhile, the overseas experts who had entered earlier were merging with the demonic forces, attempting to launch a two-pronged attack from the inside and outside, seeking to overthrow the world.

The demonic forces had remained hidden in various places since their defeat in the battle between Yan Qianli and Qiu Wuji. Their essence and life force had been severely damaged, and they went into hiding, waiting for the right moment. Now was their chance, and they emerged once more, causing chaos in the world of cultivation.

This was the basic backdrop, not too cliche but not entirely original. Xianxia stories generally fall into a few templates, and ensemble cast dramas often involve various factions. The key was how it was executed specifically.

“Xie Jiuxiao was on his way back from the Cloud Horizon Sect, less than a thousand miles from the city when he sensed the disturbance. His expression changed, and he hastened his return.”

“However, a one-eyed giant slowly materialized in front of him, smiling and saying, ‘Lord Xie, this path is blocked.'”

“Xie Jiuxiao, on the other hand, remained calm and said, ‘With just you?'”

“‘I need not defeat Lord Xie, I only need to delay for a while, and that will be enough.'”

“Xie Jiuxiao burst into laughter, looking to the sky, ‘You’re welcome to try!'”

“The one-eyed giant suddenly turned around, only to witness a brilliant flash of swords within the city. Those were not the swords of Yunxiao City, but the swords that severed the ends of the earth and seized the vastness of heaven and earth.”

“Chu Tiange.”

End of excerpt.

This excerpt was purely instinctual because at this moment, Chu Ge’s consciousness was observing within the book.

Only in a true life-and-death battle can one observe if there are any variables.

Chu Tiange was currently in a fierce battle with the Nine-Headed Serpent.

He had only reached the Divine Transformation realm, whereas the Nine-Headed Serpent was a Crossing Tribulation realm powerhouse, someone who could stand on equal footing with Yan Qianli. This was a battle across realms, a typical life-and-death struggle.

In fact, Chu Tiange had encountered the Nine-Headed Serpent in a previous encounter overseas, during which he had barely escaped with his life. However, this time there was no escape; he had to protect the countless disciples within Yunxiao City, including Xie Yun’er.

The advantage was that he wasn’t fighting alone. Yunxiao City didn’t solely rely on Xie Jiuxiao; there were many Divine Transformation stage powerhouses within the city, and the city itself was a formidable treasure. With the home-field advantage, after Chu Tiange withstood the initial attack, Yunxiao City quickly organized and, in cooperation with him, faced the Nine-Headed Serpent.

Can a group of Divine Transformation cultivators take on a Crossing Tribulation powerhouse?

It depends.

When there’s a main character among this group of Divine Transformation cultivators, then yes...

But what if the father Heavenly Dao intentionally observes and doesn’t directly write the outcome?
