Chapter 13 - Chapter 13 The Night Raid and the Mysterious Aid

After Jack and the city lord finished discussing the plan to confront the Blood Fiend Sect, they immediately began to deploy defenses. As the night deepened, the city lord's mansion was brightly lit. Guards, holding their weapons, patrolled the mansion with vigilant expressions. Jack, however, couldn't fall asleep. He had a strong premonition that something bad was about to happen. Holding his bronze sword, he paced back and forth in his room.​Sure enough, at midnight, a sharp whistle pierced the night sky. "Enemy attack! The people of the Blood Fiend Sect are here!" Shouts of the guards came from all directions. Jack rushed out of the room and saw countless dark shadows appear on the walls of the city lord's mansion. The disciples of the Blood Fiend Sect climbed over the walls like ghosts, their weapons glowing with an eerie blue light.​"Form the formation!" With a command from the city lord, the cultivators in the city quickly took up defensive positions. Jack brandished his bronze sword and charged into the enemy ranks. The Blood Fiend Sect came with full force this time and brought a strange formation. The black mist in the formation could weaken the spiritual power of the cultivators. Jack felt that every sword swing was several times more difficult than usual, and the wound on his arm ached faintly due to the obstruction of spiritual power.​In the heat of the battle, a dark shadow suddenly pounced towards the city lord. Jack was greatly alarmed. Ignoring his own safety, he flew towards them on his sword. "Heavenly Gang Sword Technique · Heaven's Annihilation!" A brilliant sword light shot towards the shadow. The shadow nimbly dodged, and Jack then saw clearly that the attacker was the protector of the Blood Fiend Sect, the same person who had stolen the jade tablet in the chamber of the fairy mountain.​"You little brat, you've ruined my plans. Today is your death day!" The protector 狞笑着. His blood - colored long whip lashed out like a snake. Jack dodged left and right, but the whip wrapped around his ankle. With a hard tug, he fell to the ground. Just as the whip was about to strike a fatal blow to Jack, a silver light flashed, and the whip was cut in half.​A veiled woman in white appeared beside Jack. The silver short sword in her hand exuded a mysterious aura. "Be careful. His cultivation method has traces of ancient evil arts," the woman said in a cold voice, but it warmed Jack's heart. The woman in white engaged the protector in battle. The short sword and the long whip clashed, creating dazzling sparks. Taking the opportunity, Jack got up and joined the battle again. Coordinating tacitly with the woman in white, they gradually gained the upper hand over the protector.​Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the Blood Fiend Sect brought out the "Blood Soul Banner." Countless blood - colored soul shadows flew out from the banner and pounced towards everyone. These soul shadows could not only devour spiritual power but also trap people in illusions. Jack saw an image of the fairy mountain being destroyed by the Blood Fiend Sect, and his heart ached. But he gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and kept reminding himself, "These are illusions, illusions!"​At the critical moment, the short sword in the woman in white's hand suddenly glowed brightly. She murmured incantations and 施展了一种神秘的术法. Wherever the light reached, the blood - colored soul shadows dissipated one after another. When the disciples of the Blood Fiend Sect saw their magic treasure 失效,their morale plummeted. Under the counterattack of the people in the city lord's mansion, they fled in disarray.​After the battle, Jack wanted to thank the woman in white, but she had already left quietly, leaving only a jade pendant engraved with strange runes on the ground. The city lord picked up the jade pendant, his face grave. "These runes seem to be related to the mysterious organization that is said to be able to restrain the power of the Chaos Orb. Could it be..."​Jack clenched his fists, looking at the runes on the jade pendant, his heart full of 疑惑. Although the attack of the Blood Fiend Sect was repelled this time, it made him realize the strength and mystery of the enemy. And what kind of stories and challenges would this suddenly - appeared and mysteriously - disappeared woman in white, and the forces behind her, bring to his subsequent training?
