　　Tianhai Town.
　　“The monsters are attacking the city. All households, the young and strong put on armor and gather at the city wall. The women, children, and the elderly go to the cellar.”
　　“Don’t go out of the city, don’t go out of the city. There are monsters ambushing outside the city.”
　　“Flying with the wind or controlling objects is also not allowed！”
　　Today was originally the Lantern Festival in Tianhai Town, but with the old general Zhang Kaitai’s old but majestic voice sounding above the city, the festive atmosphere on the street stopped abruptly.
　　The roars of the demons that followed only added to the momentary panic among the common folk on the street.
　　Fortunately, the appearance of the Crimson Armored Cavalry from the Zhenhai Tower restored order to the originally chaotic street.
　　In the face of the demons, the people of Tianhai Town were much calmer than those in other places.
　　And within the flow of people hurrying back on the street, a young man and a monk, leading a pair of young boys and girls, were moving ‘against the current’.
　　Naturally, these people were Xu Taiping and his group.
　　The destination of their trip was the town yamen located at the end of the street, which was also the camp of the Crimson Armored Cavalry of the Zhenhai Tower.
　　”Master Xuanzhi, why are you in Tianhai Town？”
　　While struggling to push through the crowd, Xu Taiping transmitted his voice to ask Master Xuanzhi.
Just now, because they were in a hurry to go. the two of them only exchanged a few words of greeting and did not have a detailed conversation.
　　”Brother Xu, you don’t know. After parting ways with you six years ago, this little monk was ordered by my master to beg for alms and build a temple in Tianhai Town. I’ve been here for six years.”
　　A bitter smile appeared on the face of Master Xuanzhi, who was walking with his back facing them.
　　After hearing this, Xu Taiping suddenly understood.
　　”Originally, this little monk planned to go to the Twilight Rain Forest to pick up Brother Xu in half a year. I didn’t expect Brother Xu to come out half a year earlier. Could something have gone wrong there？”
　　Xuanzhi then asked Xu Taiping again.
　　“There’s no problem. The opening time of the Trapped Dragon Tower is originally between six and seven years, and the time is not fixed.”
　　Xu　Taiping　replied.
　　“That’s good.”
　　Little monk Xuanzhi put his hands together and let out a sigh of relief.
　　“By the way, why did Brother Xu come to this Tianhai Town？ I remember you were going to the capital of Southern Chu to participate in the Golden Scale Meeting.”
　　He then asked Xu Taiping curiously.
　　“When I came out of the tower, I met the magic monk Zhenwu of Huoyun Temple. He used a strange magical power to send me here and said he wanted to put me to death.”
　　Xu Taiping truthfully replied to Monk Xuanzhi.
　　Monk Xuanzhi knew something about the grudge between him and the magic monk Zhenwu, so he didn’t bother to hide it.
　　“Could it be that the magic monk Zhenwu already knew in advance about the siege of the town by the magic creatures today？”
　　Monk Xuanzhi said in surprise.
　　“It seems so now.”
　　Xu　Taiping　nodded.
　　“To be honest with Brother Xu, six years ago, my master also told me that Tianhai Town would have a disaster six years later, so he asked me to come to Tianhai Town to beg for alms and build a temple.”
　　The tone of Monk Xuanzhi suddenly became serious.
　　“Master Xuanzhi, this great disaster in Tianhai Town is unusual. Isn’t your master afraid that you will die here？”
　　Xu Taiping asked with a frown.
　　“Brother Xu, you should know that for us ascetics, this is the best practice. The day of our death is the day we obtain the fruit position.”
　　The monk Xuanzhi smiled and replied via voice transmission.
　　Xu Taiping shook his head. He really didn’t understand these ascetics.
　　“You all stay here！”
　　Just as the few people were about to reach the yamen, two Red Armored Cavalry suddenly blocked Xu Taiping and the siblings Azhu and Ahu.
　　Regarding this, Xu Taiping had long been prepared.
　　“We are here to see the old general.”
　　He took out Zhang Xiaoman’s Red Armored Cavalry waist token.
　　……
　　A　moment　later.
　　On the city wall of Tianhai Pass.
　　The siblings Azhu and Ahu were taken by the Red Armored Cavalry to see the old general Zhang Kaitai.
　　Xu Taiping and the monk Xuanzhi, because they were not the common people of Tianhai Town, were arranged to wait on the city wall, and there were also several Red Armored Cavalry guarding them on the side.
　　After all, it was a special period, and Xu Taiping understood this very well.
　　“There are more and more monsters…”
　　Looking at the deep-sea monsters gathering more and more below the city wall, even Xu Taiping, who considered himself to have seen a lot, couldn’t help but feel a burst of shock.
　　“Boom！… ”
Just then, a group of shark demons tried to come ashore from the water, but as soon as their feet stepped on the shore, they would be wrapped by a pillar of fire suddenly gushing out from the ground, and they screamed again and again.
　　“This is the Sea-Burning Array of the Sea-Holding Tower. Once it is activated, any sea monster that comes ashore will be burned by the underground fire.”
　　“And the closer to the Tianhai Pass, the stronger the underground fire that erupts from the ground.”
　　The monk Xuanzhi explained to Xu Taiping.
　　He had lived near Tianhai Town for five or six years and knew these things much better than Xu Taiping.
　　“In that case, with this Sea-Burning Array, it should be no problem to defend the Tianhai Pass for ten days and a half months, right？”
　　Xu Taiping asked with some confusion.
　　“Little brother, you think too simply.”
　　A Red Armor Cavalry who had been listening to the conversation between Xu Taiping and Xuanzhi suddenly interrupted.
　　“If they were ordinary shallow-sea monsters, it would be fine. But the deep-sea monsters have all cultivated the True Demon Body. The Sea-Burning Array can at most suppress some of their cultivation and has no way to kill them.”
　　The Red Armor Cavalry sighed and continued to explain.
　　And just as he said this, the monster that was previously burned by the underground fire suddenly grew taller, and its demonic energy dispersed all the flames on its body.
　　Immediately after, some of the monsters behind it began to follow suit one by one, using their True Demon Bodies to resist the underground fire and slowly walking towards the city gate.
　　In just a moment, hundreds of deep-sea monsters came ashore and quickly flew towards the city wall.
　　Moreover, among them, several deep-sea monsters with fleshy wings even flew up from the ground.
　　“Because the spiritual power that the great formation can mobilize is limited, the earth fire will only burn the same monster three times. If it can’t be burned to death in three times, it will not waste spiritual power anymore and needs to be cleared by our Red Armored Cavalry.”
　　The Red Armored Cavalry said while picking up the bow in his hand and quickly nocking an arrow and drawing the bow.
