Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system

A group of men and women, wearing dark black robes with hoods covering half of their faces, were observing the lively Cherry City with cold expressions.

"Tsk, look how lively the city is, even though they know we could attack at any time. It seems the previous attacks weren't ferocious enough," said a woman, her face mostly hidden.

"Hehe, let's see if they can still enjoy themselves after our attack," said a man with an evil chuckle.

"I can't wait to capture a few men and make them my toys," said the beautiful woman, Cai Zhi, who was in charge of the opening attack. Licking her lips, she was one of the few women from the mountain clan who hadn't been killed by the leader due to her viciousness.

"Hmm, why don't we spend some time together and have some fun?" suggested a man, eyeing her up and down.

"Maybe after the mission is over, I could use you to relieve some stress. But you'll have to treat me to a luxurious dinner," Cai Zhi replied, eyeing the man with boredom. The man, who asked, beamed with joy at the thought of spending the night with her and nodded eagerly.

"Alright, enough chit-chat. Let's begin. Get your flying mounts and ride towards the city," Cai Zhi ordered the others.

The residents of Cherry City were having an ordinary day like any other normal day, and the streets were filled with more people than in the past few days, as they had somewhat relaxed, not having faced any recent attacks by the mountain clans. They were, of course, a bit tense, but they still had to attend to their day-to-day duties to put food on the table.

Young people were roaming the streets and shops, buying things and gossiping in their groups.

Ring Ring

Suddenly, the atmosphere was shattered when the city's warning bells began ringing, signaling an incoming attack.

"Damn, are the mountain clans attacking again?" someone said in a nervous voice as he looked ahead.

"Who else would it be? I thought they had given up since they hadn't attacked for some time," said another person in a bitter and angry tone but was helpless as he was just a mortal.

"I hope the damage isn't as severe as last time," said someone in a grim tone, recalling the devastation caused by the mountain clans in previous attacks.

Everyone quickly looked toward the entrance. Some non-cultivators even put their ears to the ground, trying to hear the sounds of approaching beasts but heard nothing.

"Look up!" someone shouted loudly. Everyone raised their heads, and their eyes constricted violently as their bodies began to shake in fear.

"H-Heavens," someone muttered as they fell on their butt, looking at the sky in sheer terror. The others wore similar expressions, and the cultivators who could sense spiritual energy turned deathly pale.

Hundreds of corrupted beasts with wings were flying toward the city with killing intent, with bandits riding on them. What terrified the cultivators was that they could sense all of them were radiating Core Formation Realm auras.

"T-This is a disaster. How are they controlling them?" stuttered a guard near the bell.

"They must have figured out a way to control them," said another guard beside him in a grim tone as he looked at the incoming flock from the sky.

What the guard speculated was indeed true. The mountain clans had used beasts they couldn't control in previous attacks, but some of the beasts that still had some rationality were difficultly controlled and prepared for today's attack.

"Do you think we have a chance?" whispered a guard to the second guard, thinking their chances of survival were almost zero.

"No, I'm sure they must have Golden Core beasts as well which they will release later, but I'm still going to stay even the chance of survival is low. I'd rather die than abandon my home. I'll fight to the last breath; that will buy time for the mortals, the elderly, and the children to escape," said the guard in a firm tone.

His determination influenced the others, and the same sentiments of nervousness and resolve could be seen in the other cultivators of the city.

"Damn, did they bring all the beasts? Have they decided to destroy the city?" Mu Zihan had a grim look on his face as he watched the mountain clan members riding on the backs of the beasts, narrowing the distance between them and the city.

"Quickly, activate the array!" shouted Mu Zihan, as the guards in their armor quickly moved to activate the array.

"City Lord, where is the disciple who came from the sect to aid us?" asked a guard standing beside him.

"I sent him somewhere. I didn't expect them to attack so suddenly. If I had known, I wouldn't have sent him out," Mu Zihan said in a regretful tone. At least if Wang Ming were here, they could have resisted and might have pushed them back, even if it meant heavy losses.

"I'm not sure even multiple elders could handle them, let alone a disciple, City Lord. Maybe the sect leader could manage such a situation," said the guard beside him, sweat dripping from his forehead. Mu Zihan glanced at the guard. He had seen the power of Wang Ming's technique, which was at the ancient rank.

While he didn't know the full extent of its power, he hoped that Wang Ming's participation would at least make the mountain clans halt their attacks, giving him time to contact the sect leader, even if it meant paying a high price. He also wondered where Wang Ming was at that moment.

'Did something happen there?' Mu Zihan thought to himself, wondering if something had happened to Wang Ming while he was searching for their hideout, but he quickly shook his head and turned his attention back to the incoming beasts. He decided if the situation turned too dire, he would take his wife and daughter and escape

Outside the City Walls

"Alright, everyone, divide into small troops, spread out, and begin destroying the city. Sack it of everything. I will head toward the City Lord's mansion. Maybe I can capture his wife and daughter, whom I'm sure he's kept there for safety," Cai Zhi said with an evil look.

"Let's go sack the city!" the others shouted as they divided.

"Hehe, time to begin," she grinned as she flew toward the City Lord's mansion.
