My Fairy Growth System

Under the lead of more than two hundred Second Stage Major Demons, the demonic beasts forced the cultivator army inside the city.

The beast tide kept pounding at the Protective City Formation.

At the same time, four Third Stage Heavenly Demons also began to attack the Protective City Formation.

"Eagle ShatterVoid, Eagle StrikeVoid, Hu Juanshan, Hu Geshan."

In the city’s high skies, Ouyang Wenjian watched the four Heavenly Demons assaulting the Great Array, his brow furrowed.

Eagle ShatterVoid and Eagle StrikeVoid were the boss and second boss of Skyscraping Ridge, while Hu Juanshan and Hu Geshan were the second and third bosses of Shanjun Valley.

Eagle ShatterVoid was at the late phase of the Third Stage, Hu Juanshan was at the middle phase, while Eagle StrikeVoid and Hu Geshan were at the early phase.

Although Ouyang Wenjian did not fear these four Heavenly Demons, and their attacks couldn’t breach the Protective City Formation, the consumption of Spiritual Energy for the Great Array was immense, immense enough to make Ouyang Wenjian’s heart ache.

After pondering for a long while, Ouyang Wenjian said to Feng Zhongming and Ouyang Wuqing who weren’t far away, "This won’t do, I’ll draw those beasts away; the defense of the city will be left to you."

"City Lord, this..." Ouyang Wuqing wanted to dissuade him, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by a wave of Ouyang Wenjian’s hand.

"No need for more words!"

With that, he transformed into a beam of Escape Light and shot out of the city.

"Eagle ShatterVoid, Eagle StrikeVoid, Hu Juanshan, Hu Geshan, come and fight."

"Arrogant! Daring to leave the city to fight one against four, Ouyang Wenjian, today shall be your end," said Eagle ShatterVoid.

After speaking, with a piercing screech, it chased after Ouyang Wenjian.

The other three Heavenly Demons closely followed suit.

Inside the city, as Ouyang Wuqing watched the direction in which one man and four beasts disappeared, his face was filled with worry.

"Wuqing, there’s no need for concern, just a few Heavenly Demons. You must have confidence in your great-uncle’s strength," said Feng Zhongming, comforting Ouyang Wuqing. He knew a little about Ouyang Wenjian’s strength.

Though he appeared to be at the early phase of the Golden Core stage, if anyone truly regarded him as such, they would be a fool.

With the Heavenly Demons removed from pressing the fight, the cultivators inside the city led by numerous Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators charged outside once again.

After another day of fierce battling, as night fell, the demonic beasts retreated again.

Ouyang Wenjian also returned to the city.

"Eagle StrikeVoid and Hu Juanshan have been gravely injured by me," Ouyang Wenjian’s voice spread throughout the city.

"The City Lord is mighty," cheered the people within the city.

Eagle ShatterVoid and Hu Juanshan took the heavily injured Eagle StrikeVoid and Hu Geshan back to the group of demonic beasts, and the beasts retreated another ten miles.

Since the cultivators had retreated into the city in time, there were far fewer injured cultivators that day.

But Yu Qingtan and the others were not much relieved, as most of the casualties from the previous day were still under treatment and needed attention.

Yu Qingtan also demonstrated her rudimentary Rejuvenation Spell.

For the next three days, the demonic beasts only launched probing attacks.

Thus, Yu Qingtan and her companions were considerably less busy.

Many of the lightly wounded also returned to their respective teams, and news of Yu Qingtan’s presence in this courtyard spread far and wide.

"Qingtan, look at those rough men, they get injured and sent here, yet they come out smiling happily, saying things like ’Just to see Miss Qingtan, what’s this injury worth,’ tsk tsk tsk~"

During the noon break, Shen Wanning teased Yu Qingtan, imitating those injured men’s words and gestures precisely.

"Who can blame them? Our Qingtan is beautiful and kind-hearted and has done them a great favor," added Qi Yu.

"Qingtan, you are truly a role model for us all!" Zhao Yi said earnestly.

"Yes, and not only that, but your cultivation level is rising rapidly and your talent for learning spells is high. I think you should be the one to be our squad leader," Lin Qiushuang, always so reserved, couldn’t help but join in.

"You all flatter me," said Yu Qingtan, somewhat embarrassed by the praise.

As for her talent in learning spells, it was due to Yu Qingtan having exchanged another 1st-stage Spell Upgrade Card and used it on the Rejuvenation Spell.

Consequently, over these few days, Yu Qingtan had been using the Rejuvenation Spell with increasing skill, eliciting admiration even from Song Zhenkai.

However, it was Song Zhenkai who was truly the most exhausted, and both he and Xu Zhu and Xu He went to lie down and rest.

As for the five outer court disciples, they could never really integrate into the small circle of Yu Qingtan and the others, so they simply stopped bothering to try.

"When the beast tide is over..." Shen Wanning was about to suggest that Yu Qingtan invite everyone for a Spirit Meal afterward.

"Stop!" Yu Qingtan immediately interrupted her from making this kind of jinxing statement.

"Alright, everyone rest up well, we’ve still got more to handle later," said Yu Qingtan.

Everyone took her advice without objection and leaned back on their chairs to rest with their eyes closed.

Although Lin Qiushuang’s words were a jest, given her typically aloof and hands-off nature, Yu Qingtan had indeed become the core of their team.

And they had indeed been exhausted from the past couple of days, the stress of bloodshed and death pushed to the back of their minds.

Now that they had a rare moment of respite, they needed to seize the opportunity to rest.

Deep into the night, after completing her cultivation practice, Yu Qingtan had settled down to rest.

"Dong, dong, dong~" Three loud drum beats sounded.

Yu Qingtan immediately woke up, got dressed, and went outside.

Three drum beats signified an attack by the Cultivator Army.

The others quickly gathered in the front courtyard as well.

"We just received word that the demonic beasts have launched a surprise attack, but the cultivators within the city were prepared and have already gone to meet the battle. Let’s get ready quickly; the injured will soon be brought here," said Song Zhenkai hurriedly.

"Yes."

Actually, it was rather strange that the demonic beasts had not attacked at night over the past few days, considering that many preferred nocturnal activity.

Perhaps it was because the moonlight had been bright in the previous days, but tonight the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds.

However, the cultivators inside the city clearly hadn’t let down their guard.

True to expectations, a group of injured were soon brought over, and Yu Qingtan and the others busied themselves under the glow of the Moonlight Stones.

Half an hour later, the battle was at a stalemate, and even the City Lord Ouyang Wenjian went out of the city once again to fight alongside Ying Poxiao and Hu Juanshan.

Suddenly, chaos erupted in four or five areas within the city and quickly spread.

"Ah, how could demonic beasts be inside the city!"

"Help, help, please don’t eat me!"

"Ah, you monsters, I’ll fight you with all I’ve got!"

Above Suichuan Immortal City, Feng Zhongming looked down at the city now plunged into chaos with the sudden appearance of demonic beasts, his face ashen.

"Hall Master Feng, five nodes of the formation beneath the Immortal City have been sabotaged. Those demonic beasts entered the city through these formation nodes, and the Protective City Formation has greatly weakened as a result, making it hard to draw power to deal with the demonic beasts within without risking the entire formation being simultaneously attacked and breached from inside and outside," reported an Array Master from the City Lord’s Mansion to Feng Zhongming.

"Hall Master Feng, I have dispatched the elite of the Enforcement Team and the Cultivator Reserves to suppress them; we will surely retake control of the formation nodes," added Ouyang Wuqing, who stood nearby.

"Hmm, I need to oversee here in case the outside battlefield changes. You go personally, and call those old family heads within the city; we must quickly eliminate the demonic beasts within," ordered Feng Zhongming.

"Yes!"

...

Yu Qingtan and the others naturally heard the turmoil within the city, and upon inquiring, they learned of the situation.

"How can there be demonic beasts inside the city if the Protective City Formation is still active?" Zhao Yi asked in a panic.

The five outer court disciples also showed fear on their faces.

"Everyone, don’t panic, with the City Lord and the Protective City Formation, we’ll be fine!" Song Zhenkai said loudly.

The five Protecting Disciples, the four guards from the Song family, and some of the lightly injured also shouted, "Ladies, don’t panic, we will protect you!"

The group felt somewhat reassured and continued their healing work.

However, it wasn’t long before...

"Ahh~" With a scream, a Song family Qi Cultivation late-stage guard who was standing watch at the entrance of the courtyard had vanished.
