Wang Li, always prepared, was immediately alerted to the attack. He quickly assembled his forces, and together with Yue Wuxin, they prepared to meet the enemy head-on.
"Defenders, to your positions!" Wang Li's voice rang out, calm but commanding. "Do not let them breach the barriers!"
The warriors of the Holy Devil Dragon Sect and the Silver Moon Palace sect moved with precision and discipline, each one taking up their assigned roles in the defense. The barriers that had been erected glowed with a brilliant light, standing as the first line of defense against the oncoming horde.
The devil sects' forces slammed into the barriers with all their might, dark energies clashing against the radiant light of the defenses. For a moment, it seemed as though the barriers might hold, but then cracks began to appear, the sheer power of the assault threatening to overwhelm them.
