?With the decision firmly etched in his mind, Argon invoked the teleportation ability and found himself instantly transported to the resting floor. As he materialized, his eyes widened at the sight of a colossal and ornate city gate that loomed before him.
The gate, a majestic fusion of the four basic elements, stood as a testament to the harmony of earth, water, fire, air, and ether. Carved from enchanted stones, it emanated an ethereal glow that shifted in hues, reflecting the essence of each element. Intricate patterns of swirling winds, crackling flames, cascading water, solid earth, and shimmering aether adorned its surface, creating a mesmerizing tapestry of elemental energy.
Argon, standing before this monumental entrance, couldn't help but express his satisfaction. "This is just the gate of the city," he remarked with a satisfied smirk, "but I can tell that my soul coins are well spent."

As the demons continued their march towards Skyhaven City, leaving the desolation of Jowood City in their wake, the air in Skyhaven City hummed with an uneasy tension. In the heart of the city, Kaelar and Althea, having successfully rescued Wei Lin, arrived at the gates of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Kaelar, with a stern expression, spoke to Althea, "We need to bolster the defenses. The demons are approaching, and the sect must be prepared."
Althea nodded, her gaze steely with determination, "Agreed. The Skyhaven City cannot fall, especially now that we have a seven-star array master on our side. We'll need everyone at their posts."
Just as their words hung in the air, the elders of Althea's sect and Kaelar's sect, along with representatives from various other powers, descended upon the scene. Their arrival was a testament to the gravity of the situation.
Grand Elder Anorien, with a countenance marked by wisdom etched through years of cultivation, approached Kaelar and Althea. "Sect Master Kaelar and Sect Master Althea, you got the array master?" he inquired, his voice resonating with authority.
Kaelar, wasting no time, briefed him on the encounter with the demons and the imminent threat to Skyhaven City. Althea added, "Master Wei Lin needs urgent healing. We must attend to him swiftly."
Grand Elder Anorien's eyes flickered with concern, and without hesitation, he turned to the assembled elders. "Prepare the healing pills of the sect," he commanded. "Master Wei Lin's recovery is of paramount importance."
As the elders hurried to fulfill the Grand Elder's instructions, representatives from different sects and powers gathered, their faces reflecting the severity of the impending clash. Among them stood Kaelar, projecting an air of authority as he addressed the gathering.
"Prepare your forces," Kaelar commanded, his voice cutting through the tension. "The demons are approaching, and we must stand united to defend Skyhaven City."
The leaders of the gathered powers exchanged determined glances, acknowledging the gravity of the situation. A leader from a prominent sect stepped forward, "We are ready to lend our strength to the defense of Skyhaven City. Together, we shall repel the demonic threat."
As the assembly dispersed to fulfill their respective tasks, a sense of urgency filled the air. The Heavenly Sword Sect's disciples mobilized with purpose, distributing defensive arrays and reinforcing barriers. The distant echoes of forging echoed as the blacksmiths worked tirelessly to prepare weapons infused with spiritual energy.
In the healing chambers, Master Wei Lin unconscious lay on a jade bed, surrounded by a group of skilled cultivators administering healing techniques. Althea supervised, her focus unwavering as she guided the flow of restorative energy.
