Chapter 200 Emergency Rescue for the Family Crisis
Sunlight streamed into the exit of the ancient ruins. Zhang Peng and the others had just escaped a thrilling battle and hadn't even had time to savor the joy of seeing the light of day again when a streak of light streaked across the sky like lightning. It was a clan disciple, wielding a spirit sword that emitted a ghostly glow. His spiritual energy surged, and his robes fluttered wildly in the wind. In the blink of an eye, he was before them.
He landed nimbly, knelt on one knee, and said urgently, "Patriarch, something terrible has happened! The dark forces have gathered a large number of experts and are approaching our Qingyun Sect's base. The situation is extremely critical!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Peng's expression changed drastically, his previously weary face instantly replaced by solemnity. He knew that the dark forces' return was definitely well-prepared, and the crisis facing his family this time was likely far beyond his imagination.
"Return to the sect immediately!" Zhang Peng gave the order decisively, his voice firm and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority.
As if sensing its master's urgency, the Golden-Winged Roc let out a long cry, its wings spreading wide enough to blot out the sky. Zhang Peng, Lin Wan'er, and Xia Lijuan quickly leaped onto the roc's back, and the Golden-Winged Roc took flight, like a golden lightning bolt piercing the sky, speeding towards the direction of the Qingyun Sect.
Along the way, the wind howled, making everyone's clothes flutter loudly. Zhang Peng frowned, silently pondering a countermeasure. He knew that since the dark forces dared to invade again, they must be fearless, and the Qingyun Sect had also suffered losses in the previous battles. Defending the sect would be no easy task.
"Zhang Peng, what do you think we should do?" Lin Wan'er asked softly, her eyes full of worry.
Zhang Peng frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The dark forces are coming with great force this time, and we cannot rashly confront them. After returning to the sect, we should immediately activate the sect's defensive array and summon all disciples to prepare for battle. I will also contact Elder Xuanfeng to see if the Qingfeng Sect can provide support."
Xia Lijuan nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, we can also use the magical treasures and cultivation techniques obtained from the ruins to enhance the strength of the sect's disciples."
As they spoke, the Qingyun Sect's headquarters came into view in the distance. However, the scene before them instantly plunged everyone's hearts into despair. Outside the sect, the army of dark forces surged like a tide, their black banners fluttering in the wind, exuding a chilling aura.
"So many people have come..." Lin Wan'er's voice trembled slightly, her eyes filled with fear.
Zhang Peng's expression was solemn. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, "Don't panic, everyone. We will definitely be able to protect the sect!"
After circling once above the sect, the golden-winged roc slowly descended. As soon as Zhang Peng and the others landed, a group of disciples surrounded them.
"Master, you're finally back!" a disciple said anxiously. "The dark forces have surrounded us. Their offensive is fierce, and our defensive formation probably won't hold for much longer!"
Zhang Peng nodded and said, "I understand. Everyone, don't panic. Immediately activate the defensive array according to the previous plan and strengthen the defense!"
As he spoke, he walked towards the core area of the sect. There stood an ancient tower, the key to controlling the defensive array.
Zhang Peng arrived in front of the tower, swiftly forming hand seals and channeling spiritual energy into it. In an instant, the entire sect shone brightly, and a transparent spiritual energy barrier slowly rose, enveloping the entire sect.
"Activate the defensive formation!" Zhang Peng shouted, his voice echoing across the sect.
At his command, the disciples of the sect sprang into action. Some cast spells, infusing the defensive array with spiritual power; others picked up weapons, stood on the city walls, and stood ready for battle.
The leader of the dark forces' expression changed slightly upon seeing the defensive array activated. He sneered and said, "Hmph, you think this little defensive array can stop us? Attack!"
At his command, the army of dark forces surged towards the Qingyun Sect like a tidal wave. Black magical light rained down, striking the defensive array and creating ripples.
Zhang Peng stood atop the tower, his gaze fixed intently on the battlefield. He knew that while the defensive array was powerful, it couldn't hold out indefinitely. They had to find a way to repel the dark forces, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
Just then, Zhang Peng suddenly sensed a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from afar. He was overjoyed; could it be Elder Xuanfeng arriving?
