Within the frontline, Citadel Thirteen.
Commander Mao Yue of Dachen arrived immediately, guarded at the side.
In less than 100 breaths, Vice Marshal Tang Tao, Military Lord of the Golden Elephant Army Lu Zhi, Military Lord of the Red Falcon Army He Hao, Military Lord of the White Tiger Army Yian Tu, Military Lord of the Mystic Tiger Army Chai Ce, and two other eighth-tier officers arrived, guarding all sides of Citadel Thirteen.
At the same time, Elder Peng and Xu Jin also ceased their cultivation and went out to guard.
Elder Peng guarded openly.
Xu Jin simply went invisible and slipped into the city, then waited quietly.
Xu Jin actually felt a bit excited, even anticipatory.
If a ninth-tier like Tianyang Star Lord truly came and desperately tried to stop the State Preceptor from breaking through, with so many eighth-tier, there might be a chance.
Needless to say, Elder Peng and Commander Mao Yue should be able to hold off a ninth-tier for a few dozen breaths without issue.
