The celebrations in the whole city continued. Mu Xingqiu summoned the Taoist priests to the study room in the backyard of the city guard's mansion, and also invited the talisman master Liu Ding and veteran Mr. Pan San.

Yang Qingyin lay on the table and slept soundly. Xiao Qingtao and her sat on a chair, giggling silly. Chen Hao forced himself to calm down, but his cheeks were flushed and his body was shaking. Obviously, he had drunk a lot of wine. Other Taoists were similar to this, either sitting or standing, pretending to flipping through books, but they couldn't read a word.

Xin Youtao, who drank the most, was the least drunk. He stood up and put a book back on the bookshelf. "Chen Zhiwei also knows how to be polite. There are quite a lot of books about talismans and Taoism here, but he seems to have never read a single one, all of them are new."

Talisman Liu Ding pushed the door and came in. He had just found a place to vomit for a while, and his mind was much clearer. "Are you going to prepare for a fight again?"

Mr. Pan arrived soon, nodded to everyone, sat quietly in the corner, willing to be a veteran who was not noticeable.

Mu Xingqiu coughed, and Yang Qingyin immediately sat up, looking serious, as if he had a fight with someone in his dream, and his face was completely drunk, which scared everyone.

"I just talked to Zuo Liuying," said Mu Xingqiu.

"Isn't the head of the house... unable to speak?" Xiao Qingtao asked in confusion.

"He is a Shintoshi. If he wants to speak, there are a hundred ways to do it." Yang Qingyin snorted, as if he was very disdainful of the ability of the head of the Ban Secret Department.

"Has the Ancestor Pagoda finally been repaired?" Xin Youtao looked happy.

"Then you need to ask? It must have been not repaired." Yang Qingyin snorted again, "Zuo Liuying made a decision to me. Once the Ancestor Tower is repaired, she would have given orders directly so that she would not discuss with anyone. He talked to Mu Xingqiu, just to ask us to continue to work hard." She looked at Mu Xingqiu, "Tell me, Zuo Liuying will at least give us some help. For example, sending Lanqizhang out, Qin Lingshuang can do it too."

Mu Xingqiu did get "a little help".

At that time, Zuo Liuying's illusion pressed his forehead and inputted a magic power, which was even stronger than the entire magic power of the Taoist priest. With this, Mu Xingqiu entered the extreme state again, like a horse bound by a rein. Although he stood still, his speed had already existed in every muscle in his body.

"A little bit of clarity." said the Illusion, continuing to lose more mana. "I can't help you reach a higher level, but if you are already in it but are unconscious, I can let you see the truth."

Mu Xingqiu's whole body felt as if it was falling apart, and she felt sweaty. I don't know how long it had passed, but she sat on the ground and looked up again. Zuo Liuying and the young demon were gone.

He stood up and slowly punched a set of boxing techniques. It became slower and slower, and then he realized that he had indeed entered the first level of the illusion.

Zuo Liuying was right. Thoughts and boxing techniques are just means, but the direction is just the opposite. Thoughts are quiet. The inner alchemy that is spawned is the most rotating movement that keeps rotating; the illusion that is strong and the illusion that is strengthened is almost stagnant. Mu Xingqiu had reached that state briefly when fighting with Yin Yu, and everything in front of him moved extremely slowly.

The first level of the illusion can present nine arms. Of course, it is impossible for each one to be real, but they are not ordinary tricks. The trick is deception, and it looks like there are nine arms. In fact, the power is still the same as the two arms. The illusion is both true and false. Although the nine arms are not real, the power is actually increased by nine times.

Boxing is just a means. Mu Xingqiu practiced boxing slowly and did not show nine arms, but his strength was still enhanced. He could feel it and control it freely.

Mu Xingqiu was full of curiosity and confusion about the illusion of Nianxin. He knew that only by continuing to practice and as the illusion improved could he understand more mysteries.

This is the little help and all that he got from Zuo Liuying.

Mu Xingqiu did not answer Yang Qingyin's doubts, "Duanliu City needs to recruit more soldiers, and also request reinforcements from all possible places."

The people in the study were speechless for a while, Xin Youtao spoke first: "We have tried it. Dongjieguo and the Holy Fu Dynasty refused to send troops, and the various Taoist dynasties have also clearly expressed their rejection."

"Then try again and tell everyone that this is no longer Duanliu City. The war between Pangshan Daotong and the demon clan, the demon clan army will come. This time the scale will be even larger. If Duanliu City is lost, the demon clan army will never retreat, but will attack Dongjieguo and the Holy Talisman Dynasty to open up another battlefield. Tell the Nine Daotong that no one helps Pangshan today. The so-called "universal spirits and connections" is just a nonsense. In the future, each Taoist dynasty will protect each other and guard against each other."

"Everyone understands these principles." Shen Hao shook his head, "If you don't want to do it, it's useless to ask for more."

"Maybe a little useful." Mr. Pan San in the corner spoke, "In the past, asking for help was useless, because Duanliu City was too weak. When they came, they were not helping, but they were here to be the main force, defending the small city of Xijie. They suffered too much loss, so of course they would not come. But now Duanliu City has proven to have the strength to defeat the demon soldiers. Now let's ask for real reinforcements, and someone may come. And the princess has been asking for help everywhere, so it should be a little effective at this time."

"I have written a letter to my sister, more than a dozen letters, and I have sent them everywhere, and one letter can be delivered to her." As a prince, Xin Youtao was thinking about how to fight the next group of demon troops. "I will cross the river at dawn and go to see King Dongjie in person. I have to borrow an army. Can Mr. Pan San go with me?"

The veteran nodded.

Liu Ding also came over, "The talismans in Duanliu City have almost been used up, and I also want to write letters to the Longbin Association of various countries. The talisman master may not necessarily be consistent with the emperor. As long as there are no clear bans in various countries, there will still be people who are willing to help. The talisman masters are not all cowards."

Yang Qing stood up in an instant, "What are you waiting for? I will go to Wandi Mountain now, I will arrive in three days, and then I will ask all the disciples of Taoism through the instant platform for help. The master and the heads are unwilling to help, so it's okay to inhale Taoist priests. If no one comes, I will tie a few relatives over here."

Xiao Qingtao also stood up, his face turned redder, "I... I'm looking for people from Furong Mountain, and even if I'm not a demon, I should join the war."

Shen Hao and others were all ordinary disciples, and they had no reinforcements to find. They voluntarily went out of the city to patrol and monitor the movements of the demon clan.

"We do what we can do, don't think about whether Duanliu City can be defended. It depends on whether we try our best." Mu Xingqiu was happy about the atmosphere in the study. "The war cannot be carried out according to the plan of the demon clan. They want to attack the Holy Talisman Dynasty from the southwest. We must cause some trouble in the southeast so that Qi Wushang knows that Pangshan has not fallen and Xijie Kingdom has not yet perished, and the human world is not so easy to conquer."

A Taoist priest asked: "What if the Patriarch Tower was repaired within a few days?"

"At that time, Zuo Liuying would make his decision. I don't know what it is, but I will stay. I want to protect the people who believe in Duanliu City and Taoist Priest Pangshan."

The Taoists looked at each other and said, "I'll stay."

The sky was slightly bright and the discussion ended. Mu Xingqiu stayed in the city. The others performed their duties. When Xin Youtao left, he whispered to Mu Xingqiu: "The illusion has made progress again."

Mu Xingqiu smiled and did not explain again that his current level of illusion is still ineffective for Taoist priests.

He summoned civil and military officials who had not yet escaped in the city and called on the refugees throughout the city to join the war.

The joy of victory has not yet dissipated, and Duanliu City is about to prepare for the next more arduous war.

This time, the soldiers were replenished very quickly. In less than three days, the Xuan Talisman Army increased to more than 700 people. The shortage was the military armor, and the bone helmets and bone armor left by the demon soldiers on the field were also used. Among the refugees, there were several talisman masters who hid, but they did not leave during the last battle. At this time, they were also summoned to stand up. There were five people in total. Although they were not many and they were all low-level talisman masters, they carried the talismans of the city with them. It did greatly relieve Liu Ding's pressure.

"The stock of that old turtle Chen Zhiwei is better than that, and the most powerful one is just ten talismans." Liu Ding said after checking it, "Fortunately, there are many people, so we write more paper talismans. Cooperating with each other should be able to make up for the shortcomings of the grade."

Shen Hao and others brought back news every day. The unclean aura that crisscrossed on the territory of Xijie Kingdom stopped moving forward about 200 miles away from Duanliu City. However, the smoke gradually spread and there was already a trend of fusion. The final result was that Xijie Kingdom would become a part of the land of demons, and Taoist priests with inner alchemy could no longer gallop freely inside and had to be careful step by step.

The Taoist priests in front did not see the army of demons, but the refugees who came from afar brought some news. The main force of the demon army led by Qi Wushang had broken through the first line of defense of the Holy Talisman Dynasty and continued to march southwest. The mountain of Demon Fire, which had been paused for many days, also moved again, but the speed was very slow, and it crossed half of Xijie City and followed the footsteps of the demon army.

Qi Wushang's strategy became clear from this. He wanted to meet with the siege demon who was besieging the chaotic Jingshan Mountain to completely solve his worries.

The decision of the Grandmaster Pangshan Ning Qiwei to defend Lujing Mountain to the death seems to be quite reasonable now, but the Taoist priests of Pangshan in Duanliu City are still suspicious and do not believe that the Grandmaster is so indifferent to the Grandmaster Tower, and even a high-level Taoist priest is unwilling to send him here.

The demon army seemed to have no time to take care of Duanliu City for a while, which made many people happy, but the beautiful wish lasted only three days, and refugees immediately brought new news. The demon clan divided a powerful army with indetails and was heading southeast day and night. He no longer conquered the city and plundered the land on the way. The target was directed to Duanliu City. At their speed, they could arrive in at most ten days.

Panic once again enveloped Duanliu City, but few people crossed the river to Dongjieguo. Instead, many people came back from the other side of the river. Everyone rumored that the miracles created by General Mu, General Pan, Taoist Magistrate Pang Shan and Xuan Fu Army were created. I believe they could win again.

Mu Xingqiu knew very well that if there were no powerful reinforcements, Duanliu City would undoubtedly be defeated this time. Zuo Liuying helped him reach the first level of the illusion, but it had little impact on the entire situation.

Yang Qingyin and Xin Youtao have never replied, the princess has no news, and no one even knows her whereabouts. Xiao Qingtao has not found her family in Furong Mountain, and the letters for help sent by Liu Ding with the flying talisman are all sank to the sea.

But Duanliu City was not completely isolated and helpless. The first supporter arrived quite suddenly, and it was someone Mu Xingqiu could never have imagined. Chen Hao even suspected that these people were spies sent by the demon clan.

On a cold evening, Hong Futian, who believed in the ancient divine religion, brought a group of casual cultivators to Duanliu City.
