You should know that the Demon Lord is not a simple Nascent Soul cultivator. He himself comes from the Tianji Academy and is proficient in the way of formations. Although the dense formations are complex, they cannot really stop the Demon Lord.

As long as the Demon King chooses one of the flaws, attacks with all his strength, and uses a certain restraining method, he can easily break the defensive formation of Chu Yue City.

According to Yan Jie's speculation, with the Demon Lord's methods, it would not take long to break the formation.

But the reality is that Chu Yue City is still in Shen Mi's hands. Not only has it not been compromised, it has a strong momentum.

You know, the Demon Lord has been besieging the city for more than a month, and he has also launched several attacks during this period. But Chu Yue City has not been taken down so far, so there is only one explanation: the Demon Lord himself did not take action personally.

If this is true, it would be a bit unreasonable. You should know that when Yan Jie guarded Linshan City, the attack of the black owl was as strong as a wave. He started to fight in person in less than three days, and did not give Yan Jie a chance to breathe. If Yan Jie had not been well prepared, I was afraid that Linshan City would have broken through the city in a storm-like offensive.

When Yan Jie thought of this, he asked in confusion: "By the way, Li Ting, have you ever seen the Demon Lord during the days when Chu Yue City was surrounded?"

"No, the Demon Lord has never appeared..." Li Ting shook his head and said, "To be honest, although the Demon Lord is an evil figure, he is also a famous Nascent Soul Cultivator in Qiongzhou. I also want to see such a person and see the style of the Nascent Soul Cultivator. But it's strange. From the start of the war to the present, the Demon Lord has only sent a blood Taoist to host every time he attacked the city, but he has never appeared in person... Later, he drew Lin Xu from Linshan City, and the person who presided over the siege was replaced by Lin Xu. The Demon Lord and the Blood Taoist have never appeared again."

"The Demon Lord hasn't appeared yet?" Yan Jie thought for a while and suddenly asked, "You guys say, is this a trick to hit the world? The Demon Lord is not on Chu Yuecheng at all?"

Li Ting shook his head and said, "Senior Chen Mi has also suspected this and has tried to test it. However, it turns out that the Demon Lord is indeed near Chu Yue City, but he has never been able to hide it and does not know what he has planned..."

Yan Jie suddenly became curious and guessed: If he was in Shen Mi's position, what would he use to test the position of the Demon Lord?

However, this question was obviously not what Qian Jue was concerned about. She asked in confusion: "The Demon Lord has not appeared yet. What are his plans?"

"This is just a speculation from Senior Chen Mi. No one knows the truth..."

Li Ting shook his head and said, "Senior Chen Mi said that the Demon Lord has been very cautious since he defected to the portal. In fact, since his debut, the Demon Lord has been the hands of his disciples and rarely shows up in person. However, the cities he used to attack were mostly mortals, and there was no counterattack. It was enough to dispatch a Jindan monk. Unexpectedly, the Demon Lord did not show up when dealing with Chu Yue City this time, which was a bit too arrogant..."

"Wouldn't he be better if he doesn't show up?" Zhang Shijie patted the armrest of the chair and said, "We are in Chuyue City, and the situation is already dangerous enough. If the Demon Lord takes action personally, wouldn't it be a disaster? You two really don't know how to live or die. You want to meet the Nascent Soul Cultivator. If you have the chance in the Tianji Sect in the future, why do you want to find the Demon Lord?"

Li Ting shook his head and said, "The development of things has its own rules and will not be varied by our will. Since the Demon Lord has made up his mind to deal with Chu Yuecheng, he will not give up. According to the current situation, when his Jindan disciples are helpless in the defense of Chu Yuecheng, he will inevitably take action himself... This is an inevitable thing. Even if we avoid talking about it, we cannot stop the occurrence of things."

Yan Jie had already guessed the purpose of the Demon Lord, but this matter should not be spoken in front of Emperor Dingkang. Yan Jie thought about it and turned to Emperor Dingkang and said, "Your Majesty, I have just come to Nanyue Kingdom and have never seen the atmosphere of the capital of Nanyue Kingdom! Since I am in a dragon boat, I want to go to the deck to see the scenery of Chuyue City. I wonder if Your Majesty can agree?"

Emperor Dingkang nodded and said, "The Taoist Master just cares about his own will, and I have no objection to it!"

In fact, Emperor Dingkang came here to meet Yan Jie and the other two, and responded to Chen Mi's request. At this moment, he also had many words to say to his daughter. Yan Jie proposed to go outside at this time, which was exactly what he wanted.

Seeing Yan Jie like this, Li Ting and the other two also understood and said goodbye to Emperor Dingkang, but Emperor Dingkang agreed.

So, the four of them led by the palace maid to the deck of the dragon boat. Yan Jie stood on the side of the boat, holding the wooden railing, and looking into the distance.

Chuyue City is very large in scale, which is very different from Linshan City. Due to its huge size, the materials consumed by Chuyue City every day are astronomical and need to be mobilized from the whole country to replenish supplies. Because of this, the water transportation in Chuyue City has been very extensive, and it has reached the point where the ditches are dense.

According to Li Ting, more than a dozen main waterways were specially divided into Chuyue City, dividing the entire city into dozens of areas. These areas are connected by waterways and can be communicated through 6 channels, with a very high capacity.

At this time, the battle was about to end, but the chaos in the city was far from over.

The people were treated and injured, and those who died were carried away and cremated. The streets were filled with the wailings of the injured and the cryings of the families of the deceased, which made Yan Jie very reluctant to see.

However, after the dragon boat continued to move forward for a while, the scenes on both sides were very different.

At this time, not only were the streets on both sides of the waterway clean, but people were also coming and going, and there was no sign of a war. The houses in these areas were much more grand than what we had seen before. Not only were they neatly arranged, but they were also similar in shape, which was obviously carefully planned.

Yan Jie thought to himself: It seems that the dense "blood transformation array" is not targeted at everyone in the city. The first one to be sacrificed was the civilians with the lowest status. He also thought: It is said that the level of the cultivation world is very strict, but isn't the same in the secular world? These people living in wealthy areas are not only not affected by the "blood transformation array", but are protected by the magic array of the city protection array. Perhaps their mentality of those civilians is the same as the mentality of monks who treat mortals, they are all superior!

Li Ting was meticulous. He realized that Yan Jie was not very interested, so he changed the subject and said to Yan Jie: "Yan Jie, the river channel of Chu Yue City was personally planned by Senior Chen Mi, which is very different from other places. If you take a closer look, can you see what you can see?"

Yan Jie knew that these concepts of the world had been deeply rooted for tens of thousands of years and could not be changed overnight.

He calmed down and said, "If you don't say it, I'm going to ask, why there is no bridge on these waterways? How do people from different areas communicate with each other?"
