Chapter 216: Visit from the Dao Alliance
His original plan was to use the monsters of the reactionary forces to launch attacks from multiple defense lines of Tushan at the same time, so as to disperse Tushan's defense forces, and then concentrate superior forces to break through Tushan's defenses in one fell swoop. However, the current situation is obviously beyond his expectations.
"Could it be... Could it be that Tushan still has some hidden card that we don't know about?"
Xiao Tianyou pondered secretly, and a bad feeling came over him. He knew that Tushan's strength should not be underestimated, but he did not expect it to be so difficult.
In the head-on confrontation, Tushan Yaya's coldness became increasingly difficult to resist, almost freezing his entire body.
Xiao Tianyou gritted his teeth, trying to resist the chill that penetrated his bones, while thinking of countermeasures in his mind. He knew that if he continued to fight hard, more of his men would die, and he might not be able to escape.
"Hmph, Tushan Fox Demon, don't be too proud too soon! Even if I lose today, Tushan has already become the target of public criticism!"
Xiao Tianyou roared, trying to use words to cover up his inner fear and unwillingness.
However, Tushan Yaya just smiled coldly, as if she had seen through his thoughts. "Whoever dares to offend me, Tushan, will pay the price!"
After that, Tushan Yaya's nine fox tails fully unfolded, and the surrounding cold air instantly condensed into countless icicles, like sharp arrows, shooting towards Xiao Tianyou and his men. Seeing this, Xiao Tianyou quickly cast a spell to resist, but still felt a sharp pain, obviously he was hurt.
"Retreat!" Xiao Tianyou knew that the situation was hopeless and that it would be futile to continue, so he decisively issued an order to retreat. His men also evacuated the battlefield, leaving behind only a mess and corpses on the ground.
Tushan Yaya looked at their fleeing figures in a panic, but there was no sign of relief on her face. She knew very well that this battle was not a victory at all, and Tushan's real crisis had just begun.
"Increase vigilance and ensure the safety of Tushan."
She gave orders to the guards around her. Although her voice was soft, it was full of unquestionable majesty. Then, she turned around and rushed towards Ximen Tianyu with all her strength...
"how is he?"
When everything was over, it was already early morning. Tushan Yaya looked at the unconscious Ximen Tianyu and asked Cui Yuling who was still examining him.
When Tushan Yaya rushed over, Ximen Tianyu had already fainted outside the city wall. Fortunately, the demon forces that attacked Tushan had been repelled, otherwise he would probably have died.
Even so, Ximen Tianyu's situation was still not optimistic. He had injuries all over his body, especially the deep claw marks on his chest, which penetrated his skin. Blood continued to seep out, staining his clothes red.
Cui Yuling frowned, and while treating the wound quickly and carefully, she replied: "His injuries are extremely serious, but that's not the problem. The problem is that he forcibly overdrew his spiritual power, causing the meridians in his body to almost break, his spiritual power to become disordered, and he fell into a deep coma.
"In this state, his body's ability to repair itself is greatly reduced. If he is not treated in time, it may affect his future cultivation."
Tushan Yaya's face darkened when she heard this, and an indescribable anger and worry surged in her heart. If it weren't for protecting Tushan, Ximen Tianyu would never fight so desperately.
"No matter what the cost, we must cure him!"
Tushan Yaya's voice was firm and powerful, revealing an unquestionable determination. Cui Yuling nodded, showing her understanding. She knew how important Ximen Tianyu was to them, and she also understood Tushan Yaya's feelings at the moment.
Therefore, she devoted herself more fully to the treatment, using her superb medical skills and profound spiritual power to try to stabilize Ximen Tianyu's injuries and guide the spiritual power in his body back on track.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the three of them stayed by Ximen Tianyu's side, not leaving his side for a moment, until a guard broke into the house.
"Two masters, a group of human Taoists have gathered at the border of Tushan. They said they are from the Taoist Alliance and want to take someone away from our Tushan."
Tushan Yaya heard this, and a fierce look flashed across her brows. She slowly stood up, her eyes revealing an unquestionable determination. "Daoist Alliance? How dare they come to Tushan? And they want to take people away from me?"
Tushan Rongrong, who was standing aside, looked at Tushan Yaya with a trace of worry in her eyes. "Sister, the Dao Alliance is very powerful, and we should not directly conflict with them."
"Why don't you come with me to the border to meet the people from the Dao League? As for Sister Cuiyu, I'll trouble you to continue to treat Tianyu by yourself."
Tushan Yaya was silent for a moment, but the coldness in her eyes could not be concealed. She knew the power of the alliance very well, and she also knew that it was not wise to directly become an enemy of it, but the stubbornness in her heart and her determination to protect Tushan made it difficult for her to give in.
"Okay, I'll go with you to meet the people from the Dao League." Tushan Yaya finally decided, with an unquestionable firmness in her tone. She looked at Cui Yuling, hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Sister Cui Yu, he is in your hands. No matter what, you must make sure he wakes up safely."
Cui Yuling nodded, with tenderness in her eyes: "Don't worry, I will do my best."
Afterwards, Tushan Yaya and Tushan Rongrong went to the Tushan border together. Along the way, they had their own thoughts in their minds, but their pace was very fast, and they arrived at their destination in a short while.
On the border, the Taoist Alliance's troops were on high alert, led by an old man in Taoist robes and holding a sword. His brows revealed an aura of majesty without even being angry.
However, he was not like the Xiao family, who would fight as soon as they met. After seeing Tushan Yaya and Tushan Rongrong, he bowed instead.
"Is the head of Tushan Honghong not here? I am Zhang Fang, the deputy leader of the Taoist Alliance. I came here this time to discuss important matters with you."
Zhang Fang's voice was steady and powerful, revealing a majesty that should not be underestimated.
Tushan Yaya looked at him coldly, her voice as cold as ice: "What is the important matter that requires you to bring so many people to my Tushan border? I'm afraid your actions today are a bit excessive."
Zhang Fang's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure. He slowly said, "Master Tushan's words make sense, but this matter concerns the balance between the human and demon worlds, as well as the safety of an important person, so we have to treat it with caution."
"Oh? An important person?" Tushan Rongrong raised her eyebrows, speculating secretly in her heart, and spoke before Tushan Yaya, "If the Dao Alliance is really sincere, why don't they explain their intentions first and then make plans?"
"Recently, our Taoist Alliance received news that there is a young human Taoist priest in Tushan who can use pure Yangyan. This person is extremely important to our Taoist Alliance and the entire human world."
