In the distance, dozens of giant dragons could often be seen circling and flying, their golden scales reflecting dazzling light under the sunlight.
The dragon roar was clear and melodious, faintly sounding, majestic and solemn, enveloping the entire Cloud Immortal City with a powerful protective aura.
The townspeople have long been accustomed to this scene.
They could see dragons flying high when they looked up, and often heard their roars. Instead of being afraid, they are actually proud of it.
With the mighty Heavenly Dragon Clan protecting it and a peerless expert like David in charge, Yunxian City was like heaven in this chaotic world, peaceful and serene. Who dares to attack?
But today.
This long-standing calm has been completely destroyed.
An aura of destruction swept over from the distant horizon.
Yunxian city walls.
Long Zhan, the elder of the Tianlong clan, stood with his hands behind his back, his posture straight as a pine tree.
He wore a long robe with a golden dragon motif, had a firm face, and eyes like stars. He always exudes calm and majesty.
But right now, his forehead was deeply furrowed, and his eyes were filled with seriousness and anxiety.
His gaze was fixed on the distant horizon.
There, a dazzling golden light slowly appeared.
At first, it was just a faint light, but in an instant, the light grew closer and brighter, like a golden tsunami, sweeping across the sky and spreading wildly, instantly dyeing half the sky a dazzling golden color and blocking out the sunlight.
Between heaven and earth, it was as if only this magnificent expanse of gold remained.
Amidst the golden light, countless figures descended from the air, crowding and stretching as far as the eye could see.
At the very front was a huge golden warship.
The warship was hundreds of feet long and stretched across the sky. The ship was made entirely of rare heavenly gold, making it heavy and majestic. The ship’s hull was covered with dense, mysterious, and complicated divine runes, each of which shimmered with spiritual light and emanated a terrifying and oppressive aura.
On both sides of the battleship, hundreds of elite warriors from the temple, wearing uniform golden divine armor, stood in neat rows.
Each of them exuded a sharp aura, with cold eyes and steady yet powerful spiritual energy fluctuations around them. The lowest level among them is the seventh rank of the Upper Immortal Realm. Their expressions were serious and filled with killing intent, like iron-blooded warriors emerging from a pile of corpses and a sea of blood. They didn’t say a word, but they had an intimidating aura.
Behind the golden battleship, there were even more temple disciples crowded together.
At a glance, it could be seen that there were at least a thousand people, spread across the sky like a golden wave, covering the entire space.
They flew in perfect formation, their spiritual energy linked together, faintly forming a huge military array, their imposing aura like a towering mountain, bearing down on Yunxian City.
And right at the forefront of this huge army, at the center of the warship’s bow.
A figure stood there.
It was the divine power of the temple head.
He was still wearing that golden dragon-patterned divine robe, the hem fluttering in the wind. He wore a purple-gold crown, his face was cold and stern, and his eyes radiated golden light when they opened and closed, exuding an aura of supreme majesty and domineering power.
The terrifying pressure of a peak second level True Immortal Realm was released without hesitation.
An oppressive force, like the collapse of the sky and the overturning of mountains and seas, suppressed Yunxian City fiercely from the sky.
On the city wall.
Long Zhan’s expression suddenly changed, his pupils narrowed, and a storm was brewing in his heart.
“Those temples are the temple troops!”
Behind him, a Heavenly Dragon Clan elder’s face turned pale, his voice trembling uncontrollably, filled with unbearable horror: “Clan leader, is the Temple going to use all its forces to attack our Cloud Immortal City?! How dare they, how dare they launch such a large scale attack!”
Long Zhan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock and anxiety in his heart. His dragon aura increased slightly as he calmed himself down. He knew that the more critical the situation, the less he could afford to panic.
He was the patriarch of the Heavenly Dragon Clan and the guardian of the Immortal City of the Clouds. If he acted disorderly, everything would collapse.
“fast!”
“Yes!”
The mighty Heavenly Dragon Clan members behind them reacted in unison, not daring to delay in the slightest, and immediately turned around and acted.
“Waaaah—!”
A deep, urgent, and heavy trumpet sound resounded over Yunxian City.
One sound after another pierced the sky and echoed in every corner of the city.
This is a warning trumpet, a war trumpet!
People in town were still going about their activities, merchants were selling their wares, pedestrians were coming and going, and children were playing—the atmosphere was peaceful.
But when the trumpet sounded, and when they instinctively looked up to the sky, everyone froze, completely rooted to the spot.
