Immortal Palace Longevity

"I know it."

"From now on, you will be the "General Manager" of Nancheng."

Liu Yu said with a half-smile.

In his opinion, Yan Kai is a man of great luck, a "lucky general", and has some friendship with him, so he is the best candidate to be in charge of Nancheng.

Although there are several among the Foundation Establishment monks who are at the peak of Foundation Establishment, their strength and experience are better than Yan Kai, so logically they are more suitable.

But the most important thing is that they are not familiar with themselves!

Liu Yu has never concealed her "nepotism" style.

As a subordinate, the most important thing is "loyalty". Even if it is a little bit worse in other aspects, it doesn't matter as long as it is not too bad.

His own strength is enough to suppress any dissatisfaction!

Greatness belongs to oneself, and all status comes from one's own strength. Why should you care about the opinions of others?

Under normal circumstances in this world, the drama of "promoting virtuous people and avoiding relatives" is not a thing.

"Thank you for your respect, Uncle Qingyang. Yan Kai will definitely live up to his high expectations,"

Yan Kai bowed in public and expressed his loyalty by thanking him repeatedly.

If it weren't for being in public, I'm afraid this guy could have said even more exaggerated things, but he has already restrained himself.

I have to say that even though he has encountered many adventures, he has changed a lot.

If he was still as young as before, even if he had all kinds of adventures, he probably wouldn't be able to reach this point.

"Um."

Seeing that the other party was interested, Liu Yu was quite satisfied, but she didn't show it.

Now that I am Elder Jindan, I still have to pay attention to my image sometimes.

After a pause, Liu Yu looked around, glanced at the dozen or so foundation-building monks with eager eyes, and began to make arrangements again.

After some exchanges, he already had an idea of ​​how to arrange it.

In some key positions, he unceremoniously arranged monks he was familiar with to strengthen his control over the Yuanyang Sect's power in Jinge City.

"You may have any objections to this arrangement."

After telling him his arrangement, Liu Yu asked with a dull look in his eyes.

With a good position, not only is the risk of resisting the beast tide much smaller, but the rewards for performing tasks are also high. It can be said that there is a real stake in the relationship.

After some arrangements, some people were happy and some were sad.

However, these foundation-building monks in front of them are not novices in the world of immortality. They rarely show emotions or anger. Even if they are angry in their hearts, they will immediately reply verbally:

"I will obey the elder's order. The disciples have no objection!"

In the Yuanyang Sect in Jinge City, Liu Yu is the only one who has the cultivation level of Jindan. All matters can be settled with one word. You only need to tell the sect afterwards.

Besides Leng Tou Qing, who else dares to have an opinion?

Of course, if Liu Yu has better suggestions, it's not that he can't listen to them, as long as they don't slap him in the face in public to prevent him from stepping down.

"In that case, let's arrange it this way."

"I hope that all the apprentices and nephews will work together to help the sect and overcome this difficulty."

Liu Yu said calmly, and then walked down the stairs to the tower.

Although there are obvious signs of placing cronies, he did not go too far. He took all the lucrative positions and left some behind.

Hmm... about seventy-three points.

"Elder Qingyang's majesty seems to be getting deeper and deeper."

On the spot, Yan Kai and other foundation-building monks looked at each other with deep awe in their eyes, feeling that it was difficult to fathom the thoughts of "Uncle Qingyangzi".

…

According to the address on the transmission note, Liu Yu quickly found his residence.

It was an antique attic.

With lakes, lawns and pavilions, the environment is impeccable.

The training room, the alchemy room, the weapon refining room, the spirit animal room, all the rooms with different purposes are fully equipped.

The maid Wen Caiyi had already arrived here first and organized the cave.

"good."

After wandering around and checking the environment and layout of the cave, Liu Yu nodded slightly.

"As long as the master is satisfied."

Hearing this, Wen Caiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

After chatting for a few words, Liu Yu waved the woman to leave, and checked the cave again alone.

Closing his eyes, seventy-five miles of powerful spiritual consciousness spread out, and he carefully scanned every corner of the cave according to the special technique of "The Mystical Method of Preserving the Divine".

When walking in the world of cultivating immortals, it is better to be careful and be on guard against others.

Once something goes wrong, it can be life-threatening!

Taoist Cangyun and Zhuo Mengzhen arrived in the city first. The relationship between the two sects and the Yuanyang Sect was average, especially that of Hehuan Sect Zhuo Mengzhen, so this was something that must be guarded against.

"No hands or feet found."

Shenshizi scanned it carefully several times and found no problems. Liu Yu opened his eyes.

Afterwards, he briefly observed the spiritual energy nodes around the cave, took out a set of formations and flags, and began to arrange defensive formations.

This set of carefully selected third-level mid-level formations is called the "Disillusionment Three-Yuan Formation".

Although the name is a bit fancy, it is actually a formation based on earth attributes, and its defensive performance is extraordinary.

A mid-stage golden elixir monk can persist for a long time even if he attacks with all his strength. Even an attack by a top golden elixir can last for about half a quarter of an hour.

By then, the formation master will be able to deal with it calmly.

In order to get a satisfactory set of formations so that he could practice with peace of mind while walking around, Liu Yu spent a lot of money and specially asked "Liu Hui", the master of casual cultivation formations, to create it.

One set costs a full 80,000 spirit stones, which can be used to purchase a magic weapon.

Of course, you get what you pay for, and Liu Yu was also very satisfied with the power of the "Triple Array of Disillusionment".

No matter what treasure, from the second level to the third level, it is a huge leap, and the value increases tenfold or even dozens of times in an instant.

This can be seen from the pills.

The second-level pills are generally around hundreds of spirit stones, but the third-level spirit pills are basically calculated in thousands.

Some spirit pills with special effects even cost thousands or even tens of thousands!

It is precisely because of the huge cost of creating the "Illusionary Three Elements Array" that Liu Yu has been hovering around 100,000 spirit stones in his storage ring for so many years.

There is no way, he earns a lot of spirit stones, but the cost is also high!

Training dead soldiers, purchasing spirit materials, ripening spirit herbs, etc., each of which is a huge expense, requiring a steady stream of spirit stones.

However, spirit stones can be transformed into strength, and Liu Yu does not regret it at all.

With the completion of the refining of the "Sunset Golden Rainbow Spear", the pit of consuming spirit stones has finally been reduced.

"Start"

Burying the array plate and array flag into the spiritual energy node, Liu Yu stood in the pavilion, pinched his hands and shouted.

After a few breaths, the formation started to work!

A gray light curtain rose from the ground, accompanied by a hazy white mist, forming a gray shield that enveloped the entire cave.

"Not bad"

After releasing a few third-level spells at random, Liu Yu found it difficult to shake the formation at once, and he was very satisfied.

Eighty thousand spirit stones, finally not in vain.

How could ordinary Jindan cultivators be willing to spend eighty thousand spirit stones on the investment of guarding the cave?

The spirit stones they usually use to buy elixirs for cultivation are probably not enough.

After a few more experiments, Liu Yu made some fine-tuning to the formation, controlled the disappearance of the "Illusionary Three Elements Formation", and turned to walk into the attic.

Of course, his "layman" formation could not exert the maximum power of the formation, but it was enough for now.

After all, it was too difficult for Liu Yu to find the most suitable ground vein nodes and spiritual energy nodes.

In this regard, he did not pursue perfection, as long as it was enough.

After being promoted to the Golden Core, although the life span is as long as 700 to 800 years, more time is needed for cultivation.

Refining Qi, refining the body, refining the spirit, refining the elixir, nurturing the magic weapon, comprehending the technique...

All kinds of daily cultivation take a lot of time. Liu Yu has no intention of practicing the formation at the same time. At most, he can take time to learn a little bit.

At the Golden Core Realm, if you choose to enjoy life, you can indeed live a comfortable life.

But in that case, it is inevitable that he will turn into a handful of yellow earth after 700 to 800 years. Naturally, he will not do so.

It is indeed very hard to rush to Jinge City in a dusty way, but compared with the abundant energy of the Golden Core cultivator, it is nothing.

Entering the clean practice room, Liu Yu took out the special cushion that he had used for decades and began to meditate and practice.

A "Peking Yuan Pill" entered his stomach, and the pure spiritual power and medicinal properties immediately dissolved in his abdomen. The "Qingyang Gong" started to work, greedily refining every bit of spiritual power and medicinal properties.

With the help of the pill, his cultivation finally improved significantly.

But compared to the "Da Jiang" in the Jindan period, the improvement brought by a Pei Yuan Pill is just a drop in the bucket, and it still seems insignificant.

Only when it is taken as a unit of several decades, from the perspective of the immortal, can the obvious improvement be felt.

It took three hours to run the technique eighteen times to refine the medicinal power of the cultivation pill to complete the "refining qi" practice.

After a short rest, Liu Yu ran the third level of the "conservation of spirit magic method" and began to practice "refining spirit".

The practice of refining spirit is the most painful. As the spirit consciousness soared to seventy-five miles, the "nourishing spirit pill" also lost its effect.

But the spiritual objects of the spirit consciousness are the rarest, and so are the pills. After two or three years of searching, Liu Yu still has not found a substitute for the nourishing spirit pill.

"Uh uh~~!"

As the technique was running, Liu Yu's face was distorted by pain, and his whole body was sweating profusely, as if he had been fished out of the water.

But in the painful groans, he still insisted on running the technique!

The way of cultivating immortals is countless times more cruel than thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Even with the help of the Immortal Palace, one still cannot be careless.

Two hours later, the painful groaning disappeared, and the spiritual practice was completed.

Then, Liu Yu took out the water drop pendant, activated the "Star True Body", and began to absorb the power of the "Sun Power".

"Shhh"

His clothes were torn, and the moment he activated the "Star True Body", his body size returned to about 33 feet.

But restoring the true body state was a rare time for Liu Yu to relax.

With the improvement of the practice in the scorching sun stage, the red line on the outer circle of the circular pattern on the chest became more and more intense.

The power of the magical power "Star Eye" was also slowly increasing.

The practice of refining the body also took two hours, and it took a full seven hours before and after, and the daily practice was completed.

"How much energy does this ray of sun power contain?"

Looking at the ray of red light in the water drop pendant, Liu Yu muttered to himself.

After each practice, the "sun power" brought out from the Immortal Palace was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

It was just that the color was a little dim compared to the beginning.

Shaking his head, Liu Yu put the water drop pendant into the storage bag and began to cultivate the "Sunset Golden Rainbow Spear" with his mana.

With the help of the "Peking Yuan Pill", he would have a lot of medicinal properties left every time he practiced.

These medicinal properties would not dissipate within a few days, and the next practice could still speed up the practice. If used to cultivate the life magic weapon, it would not lead to a slowdown in the growth of cultivation.

Liu Yu can shorten the time of taking the elixir, for example, change it from once every seven days to once every five days.

In this way, he can have the best of both worlds.

…

When Liu Yu was practicing, the arrangements he had made before had been firmly implemented under the implementation of Yan Kai and others.

After a small adjustment, Nancheng quickly returned to peace.

The news of Elder Qingyang's arrival and some targeted arrangements were also conveyed to Satellite City No. 3 a hundred miles away.

Time passed in a flash, and several months passed. The newly released "Monster Hunting Support" of Jin Ge City was also conveyed to the ears of casual cultivators through various channels.

Some casual cultivators sneered, saw through the calculations of the three major sects, and disdained to work for the three major sects.

Even persuaded familiar fellows not to work for the three major sects.

There was no other reason. The opposition between casual cultivators, immortal cultivation families, and immortal cultivation sects had been long-standing, and deep grudges had long been accumulated, which could not be eliminated in a short time.

The immortal sects controlled most of the resource points, making it difficult for most of the independent cultivators to live. They had to run around for cultivation resources every day, and even risked their lives.

Without power, they would honestly give up the resource points they got. This opposition could not be changed at all.

If independent cultivators wanted to obtain resources, they could only "beg" from the big sects. In this process, many independent cultivators had already felt resentment.

However, resentment was resentment. If they wanted to get one step closer to immortality, they still had to work hard for the big sects to obtain resources.

Some independent cultivators spoke sweet words, but their bodies were very honest. As soon as they heard the news, they set off for Jinge City.

Exempting the city entry fee, providing monster news, and every time a monster was killed, they could get a spiritual stone subsidy depending on the monster's grade.

This was a big temptation for most independent cultivators in difficult situations.

Some independent cultivators who claimed to be extraordinary regarded this beast tide as an opportunity, actively contacted fellows to go into the mountains to hunt monsters, and seized the time to earn spiritual stones.

There were also some casual cultivators who had a negative attitude, but when they heard the news of the exemption of the city entrance fee, they still rushed to Jinge City.

After all, the fairy city was built on the spiritual vein, and the spiritual energy was much better than the secular world.

If the fee was really waived, they could stay in the city all the time, so the speed of cultivation would naturally be much faster than the secular world.

These casual cultivators did not really have the courage to hunt monsters, and the reason they rushed to Jinge City was purely to get the spiritual energy of the fairy city for free.

"Report~"

After the announcement, Yan Kai walked in quickly with a hint of joy on his face.

Seeing Liu Yu looking over, he bowed and said quickly:

"Uncle Liu, a large number of independent cultivators have already poured into Jinge City, and many independent cultivators have also gone to the four satellite cities to prepare to go into the mountains to hunt monsters."

"Uncle Liu, this plan is very good, and the effect seems to be immediate."

Hearing this, Liu Yu nodded slightly without commenting, and just ordered:

"No matter how good the plan is, it must be implemented firmly."

"The "monster hunting support" promised in advance must be distributed in full, which is the key to the success of this plan."

"When the first batch of independent cultivators rush over, they will get the monster hunting support, which will definitely attract independent cultivators to come."

"Junior Brother Yan, you must manage the disciples in charge of this matter well. This seat does not want to see the situation of embezzlement or even withholding spirit stones."

"Once discovered, you will be the only one to blame!"

He spoke slowly and steadily, and he was obviously serious at the end, and it was obviously not a joke.

Liu Yu knew the nature of the sect disciples too well.

If the supervision is not in place, they will dare to embezzle 90,000 out of 100,000 spirit stones, and it would be good if only one tenth of them can be truly implemented.

A disciple who seems to be loyal to the sect may be a "big corrupt official" behind the scenes, eating up the upper and lower families, such as Yan Kai.

So in order to prevent the undesirable situation from happening, Liu Yu specially arranged several foundation-building dead men to monitor the situation at the forefront of the No. 3 satellite city, and keep a close eye on the distribution of "monster hunting support".

The leader is the dead man code-named "White Tiger".

Feeling Liu Yu's attitude, Yan Kai's heart shuddered, and he quickly assured:

"Disciple understands, and we must send reliable disciples to follow up on this matter throughout the process to prevent corruption and deductions from happening."

He admitted that he did have some small thoughts. After all, as the "general manager", he had too much room to operate in this matter.

But the gap between ideal and reality is too big. Yan Kai did not expect Liu Yu to send another confidant to keep an eye on this matter throughout the process, and personally issued a warning, which immediately extinguished his previous small thoughts.

Based on his understanding of Uncle Liu, if he said severe punishment, he would really mean it. He would have to kill chickens to scare monkeys several times, and he didn't want to be the "chicken".

"In addition, we must pay close attention to the situation of Hehuan Sect, Qingxu Sect, and Sima Family."

"Our sect cannot become a victim and be kept in the dark."

"Okay, go down and make arrangements."

After knocking a few words, Liu Yu ordered.

Let's be clear. If Yan Kai still makes mistakes, he may have to "kill his relatives for the sake of justice."

After all, he proposed this strategy, and he can't ruin his own place.

And if nothing is done, when the beast tide comes, something will really happen!

"Yes, Uncle."

Yan Kai said respectfully, and left quietly after saluting.

The funds for the implementation of "monster hunting support" are shared by the four forces in Jinge City, and each force contributes 100,000 spirit stones.

In order to prevent private embezzlement, each party will issue it separately and supervise each other.

After the four forces made an example of each other several times, everyone from the foundation-building deacons to the Qi-refining minor cultivators understood the determination of the Jindan Zhenren.

The incidents of embezzlement and deduction suddenly dropped to the lowest point.

Most of the casual cultivators attracted by the "monster hunting support" received the spiritual stones they deserved, and the enthusiasm for hunting monsters in the mountains continued to rise.

But on the eve of the outbreak of the beast tide, the monster beasts are rioting more and more frequently now, and the risk of hunting monsters in the mountains has increased by more than a little? !

Some casual cultivator teams never came out after entering the mountains.

It is unknown whether they became blood food for monster beasts or died at the hands of evil-minded cultivators.

There are also some casual cultivator groups that are indeed unique. They hunted enough monster beasts at the risk of a lot of "monster hunting support", and since then their cultivation has entered the fast lane of rapid growth.

Time flies, and another three years have passed.

With thousands of independent cultivators of different levels hunting one after another, even the increasingly frequent monster riots have a tendency to be quelled.

The beast tide has not erupted yet, and all cultivators have gradually relaxed their vigilance. More and more independent cultivators have come here, and a rough estimate has exceeded 10,000.

Most of them are Qi-refining cultivators, but there are also "experts" in foundation building.

...

Jin Ge Xiancheng,

Satellite City No. 3, 20 miles away.

A team of seven independent cultivators just came out of the branch, and this time they went into the mountains and gained a lot.

"Brother, we have gained a lot in the past two years and have accumulated a lot of spiritual stones."

"After this time, should we take a rest for a while, purchase magic tools and elixirs, and improve our strength and cultivation?"

A young man in tight clothes said with a heavy breath.

He looks handsome, but at this time he is dusty and exhausted, and his eyes can't hide his fatigue.

His tight clothes have been damaged in many places and look ragged.

Through the several large holes in the suit, several shocking bloodstains can be seen on the skin. This person is obviously seriously injured.

However, for a casual cultivator who goes through life and death to hunt monsters, this injury is really nothing. The young man in the suit did not even frown, obviously he was used to it.

The casual cultivator called "big brother" by the young man in the suit is a man who looks to be in his thirties, with a face full of vicissitudes of life.

This person has a very resolute look, and his eyes looking at the surrounding mountains and forests are full of deep vigilance.

The most eye-catching thing is that this person's right face is completely disfigured, as if it was doused with strong sulfuric acid, and the right ear is missing.

"It's not completely out of danger at this time. Xiaoliu's suggestion just now should be discussed after entering the city."

"I lost my right ear because of carelessness, and I don't want to repeat the same mistake."

"Although I have left the branch, this place is far from safe."

Looking around vigilantly, the one-eared male cultivator said in a rough voice without turning his head.

The seven of them were good friends who had cultivated together. They were close friends, and they were not brothers but they were brothers. Therefore, they had long been sworn brothers and sisters.

Because they worked together and made concerted efforts, and their cultivation was not low, the seven of them had a great reputation among the Qi-refining casual cultivators in Jinge City, and were called the "Seven Friends of Black Mountain".

"Brother, what you said makes sense."

"But after two years of hunting monsters in the mountains, we are indeed close to our limit. It's time to replenish the consumables such as talismans."

A beautiful female cultivator with the charm of a young woman took over.

"Brother, you see, I'm not the only one who thinks so. My fourth sister also thinks so."

Hearing that someone supported him, the young man in tight clothes suddenly became energetic and continued.

Although he had to work hard to cultivate immortals, he did think that cultivating immortals also required a combination of work and rest.

Once he entered the mountains, he had been in fear for several months, and the young man in tight clothes was already a little disgusted.

"Okay."

Seeing that everyone wanted to rest, the one-eared male cultivator had to agree.

He was about to say something else, but suddenly felt a slight vibration from the ground, which quickly became stronger.

"Could it be...?"

The one-eared male cultivator seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly changed. He looked behind him suddenly.

At the end of his sight, a black line composed of countless black dots appeared, and it was still moving forward.

Smoke and dust filled the sky, and countless black shadows flashed, as if millions of cavalry were charging together, and the earth was shaking!

But where are these cavalry?

A closer look showed that it was a tide composed of countless monsters!

A first-level monster two-headed wolf with two heads, extremely ugly, and drooling mouth corners; a black-blooded pig with a body of five or six feet, dark skin, and two long and white fangs; a second-level monster white marsh rhino with a huge body, thick skin and flesh, and a single horn shining with spiritual light.

In the sky farther away, there were overlapping black shadows, which were groups of flying monsters!

In an instant, the seven friends of Black Mountain recognized the identities of many monsters, and a chill rose from their hearts!

Just like a bucket of ice water from melting black ice, pouring directly from the top of their heads, the seven people felt the bone-chilling cold, and forgot to speak for a moment!

Under the overwhelming beast tide, his heart was trembling slightly!

"Beast... beast tide?!"

"The beast tide broke out?!"

The young man in tight clothes who had been shouting for a rest said tremblingly.

At this moment, he only felt cold hands and feet!

"What are you still doing? Run away!"

After coming to his senses, the one-eared male cultivator moved very quickly, took out the magic weapon and injected mana while roaring.

Looking at the rapidly approaching beast tide, this person was very anxious.

At this time, they could not care about keeping a low profile and some minor dangers, and they were going to use their magic tools to return to the satellite city.

"Yes, yes."

After being reminded, the other six people came back to their senses and used their magic tools in a panic.

After a few breaths, seven escape lights rose one after another.

The seven friends of Black Mountain desperately mobilized their magic power and rushed to the third satellite city. Along the way, they used the sound magic to remind the scattered cultivators who had not yet discovered the coming of the beast tide.

After more than ten breaths, the sky was full of scattered escape lights. One by one, the scattered cultivators rushed to the four satellite cities desperately.

The escape speed of most cultivators is not as fast as that of flying monsters.

In addition, the magic power of cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage cannot support long-distance flights. If they escape alone, they will only be chased and killed by monster birds.

Therefore, returning to the satellite city and defending the city is the most correct choice.

……

In the dim sky, more than a dozen escape lights fell in succession.

Put away the magic weapon, walk into the city, a set of movements are smooth and flowing, without any pause.

Fortunately, they found it in time, and the seven friends of Black Mountain hurried and finally returned to Satellite City No. 3 in time.

"Hurry up and open the formation!"

"The beast tide is coming, and the army will be at the gates of the city!"

After entering the city, more than a dozen casual cultivators reminded the city guards and shouted anxiously.

Before they entered the city, they did not dare to remind them, fearing that these big sects would directly open the formation and trap themselves outside.

Although there is "monster hunting support", most casual cultivators still have no good feelings for the four major forces in Jinge City, let alone trust.

"What?!"

Hearing the news, the city guards were horrified, looked at each other, and quickly opened the formation.

Reporting such false news will cost lives, and no casual cultivator dares to talk nonsense.

Therefore, although there are some doubts, the city guards did not hesitate much.

"Boom boom"

The second-level top-grade formation was activated, and wisps of red spiritual light quickly took shape, covering the entire fairy city.

From afar, it can be seen that almost at the same time, the other three satellite cities dozens of miles away also lit up with various spiritual lights.

Two or three breaths later, the ground of Satellite City No. 3 shook slightly.

The city guard looked in the direction of the Jin Ge branch, and a look of shock flashed across his face.

A black line had appeared on the distant horizon, and there were also overlapping black shadows in the sky.

With the eyesight of the immortal cultivators, they were monsters of different types and grades!

Although shocked and even horrified, the four forces had already prepared for this day in advance, so the city guards did not panic too much.

The formation was activated, and teams of Qi-refining cultivators quickly rushed to the tower, and the foundation-building cultivators gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Even if there were many casual cultivators in the city who were still in a confused state, they were sent to recruit them and organized into teams.

Low-level monsters have very low intelligence and cannot distinguish the camps of human cultivators, so all the cultivators in the satellite city are on the same front at this time.

"This day has finally come."

Shen Shan... No, now codenamed Baihu, Baihu stood on the tower, looking at the surging tide of monsters, and his heart was also moved.

However, the "good" training made his performance much calmer than that of ordinary cultivators.

Before climbing the tower, a special sound transmission talisman had been sent.

Baihu, as Liu Yu's confidant, was sent to the third satellite city to be the director of "monster hunting support".

Of course, there is another deep meaning in this, that is, when the beast tide really comes, Liu Yu can be notified directly.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, you can contact Elder Qingyang directly, do you know when the reinforcements will arrive?!"

A cultivator who was in the late stage of foundation building, wearing a Taoist robe, with a white face and no beard, and looked a little old asked.

Looking at the overwhelming beast tide that seemed unstoppable, this person, although the head of Satellite City No. 3, still felt uneasy.

He knew that Baihu was a confidant of Elder Qingyang and could contact him directly, so he asked this question.

"The sound transmission note has just been sent out, and I don't know when the support will arrive."

"But with the enemy at hand, we can't lose our composure, otherwise there is only one way to go!"

"Friend Yan, let's arrange the defense of the four walls first."

"As for when the reinforcements from Jinge City will arrive, it is not something we can control, we can only hold on and wait for help."

Baihu suppressed his uneasiness and said calmly.

"Yes, yes, what Friend Bai said makes sense."

Without getting the answer he wanted, Yan's face froze and his smile was very forced.

His name is Yan Chaosheng, and he is from the same family as Yan Qun'er, but he is not a direct descendant.

So after building the foundation, he can't get much support from the family.

At the age of 152, he had cultivated to the late stage of foundation building with great difficulty, and there was still a glimmer of hope to break through the bottleneck of Jindan.

This person was unwilling to be mediocre, so he volunteered to guard the No. 3 satellite city.

For the sake of the Yan family, Liu Yu agreed to his request and sent him to this city three years ago.

High risk, high return!

Yan Chaosheng thought he could face it calmly, but looking at the ruthless and endless surging tide of monsters, his face almost turned pale unconsciously.

How long can a satellite city last under the beast tide?

After a while, more than a dozen foundation building cultivators arrived, and their faces were very ugly when they saw the beast tide approaching from a distance.

"Attack!"

When the beast tide entered the attack range, the four satellite cities launched attacks almost at the same time.

Fireball, wind blade, thunder ball, golden sword...

After rehearsals many times, the organizational ability of the four satellite cities is very strong, and they organized the scattered cultivators in a short time.

Thousands of cultivators attacked together, and the spells of various grades were also spectacular!

Under the dim sky, the brilliance of various spells was dazzling, crossing a long distance and falling on the vanguard of the beast tide.

Thousands of spells of different grades fell, but the beast tide had no intention of stopping. Countless monsters had red eyes and did not dodge, and they endured this wave of spell bombardment head-on.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom"

The power of the spells bloomed, and dozens of them died directly in an instant, and hundreds of them were scalped and torn.

But the vanguard of the beast tide only took a breath, and then continued to surge towards the four satellite cities.

The death of dozens of monsters is not even a drop in the ocean compared to the entire beast tide!

"Damn it!"

Seeing this scene, the faces of the foundation-building monks in the four satellite cities were very ugly.

"Use the divine crystal cannon!"

Yan Chaosheng looked ugly and shouted in a low voice.

"Yes!"

A foundation-building monk took the order and quickly passed through the defense nodes one by one, waving his hand to take out a piece of strange-shaped magic weapon from the storage bag.

This "divine crystal cannon" is similar in shape to the cannon in Liu Yu's previous life, but it is made of expensive magic weapon materials and can only be driven by spirit stones.

Each attack is equivalent to a second-level medium-grade spell, which can be controlled in the Qi Refining Period without offering sacrifices and recognizing the master.

But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it consumes too much spirit stones. A piece of medium-grade spirit stone can only launch a few attacks, and the attack frequency is relatively long.

"Crack"

The divine crystal cannon quickly loaded the spirit stone, and the muzzle flashed with various colors of spiritual light.

According to the different properties of the loaded spirit stone, the color of the spiritual light shining at the muzzle is also different, and it can obviously launch attacks with different properties.

"Bang!!"

After a roar, a magic ball the size of a soccer ball was ejected from the muzzle and quickly expanded to a diameter of half a meter.

This ball is like an optimized and enlarged version of the "fireball spell", full of fiery breath, but more stable and with a longer attack distance.

Ice attribute, thunder attribute, wind attribute...

Amid the roar of the seven divine crystal cannons, magic balls of various attributes shot out, and all expanded to a diameter of half a meter in an instant, falling towards the approaching monster tide.

"Boom!!!"

"Zizz"

The magic ball of ice attribute exploded on the ground, instantly freezing more than a dozen first-level monsters, and slowing down the movements of monsters within a certain range.

"Swish"

The magic ball of wind attribute exploded in the air, splitting into dozens of smaller wind balls, instantly killing a group of low-level monsters.

"Aww~"

Moaning, howling, blood and limbs scattered all over the ground.

"Buzz~"

The ball of thunder attribute spell also exploded in the air, splitting into hundreds of blue lightning, paralyzing dozens of monsters, and then being trampled into blood mud by the monsters that lost their minds.

The attack of the divine crystal cannon played a good effect, with a crushing advantage against the first-level monsters, and achieved good results.

But!

The faces of Yan Chaosheng, Baihu and others became even paler.

Because the results of the battle were only a tiny microcosm of the entire battlefield, the scope of influence was really limited.

Most of the monsters were not affected and still surged in!

Smoke filled the sky, and the earth trembled!

However, the monks in the four satellite cities gradually felt despair in their hearts!

Looking at the densely packed monsters under the city, although they were high above, they felt insignificant.

"Boom boom boom"

Thousands of spells fell, but still could not stop the beast tide.

Finally, the vanguard of the beast tide entered within fifty feet!

As if receiving some orders, various colors of spiritual light began to shine in the mouths of countless monsters.

This is a sign of the activation of the innate spell!

Seeing this scene, some cultivators with poor psychological quality seemed to have their hearts squeezed by an invisible hand, and their breathing stagnated!

At this moment, many people made mistakes in releasing spells.

And above the sky, a large area of ​​dense shadows gradually enveloped the four satellite cities.

In the senses of many Qi-refining cultivators, the sky was completely dark, as if it had lost all light.

…

Jinge City,

Nancheng Cave.

Under the dim sky, a stream of fiery red came from afar, passed through the formation and went straight into the cave.

"Hmm?"

Sensing the movement, Liu Yu looked up and saw a special sound transmission talisman, which stayed not far in front of him.

"This is the special communication talisman I gave to Baihu. It will not be used unless it is an emergency."

His eyes condensed, looking at the fiery red communication talisman, and several thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

Then he took it in his hand and probed it with a ray of consciousness.

"Sure enough, the beast tide broke out."

Liu Yu took a deep breath, his face changing and his expression was extremely solemn.

But before he sat down, the same emergency communication symbol entered the hall again.

As expected, this communication symbol was sent by Baihu again, detailing the situation facing Satellite City No. 3. The situation was extremely bad and there was a risk of failure at any time.

The end of the information... rescue is not recommended!

Because of the influence of "Liuli Bewitching Mind Technique", these dead men regard Liu Yu's interests as the most important, even more than their own lives.

"Rescue is not recommended, which means that the possibility of the satellite city being able to defend is extremely small."

"Even when I received the transmission talisman, the city was already broken!"

Liu Yu let out a breath and came to this conclusion based on the prior discussion.

He was not an indecisive person. He made a decision quickly and immediately took out a dozen communication talismans and used them within a few breaths.

Some of these transmission notes were used to notify Taoist Cangyun, Sima Yong, and Zhuo Mengzhen, and some were also sent to Baihu and Yan Chaosheng.

In the communication talisman sent to Satellite City No. 3, Liu Yu explained that there would be no rescue, and asked Yan Chaosheng, Bai Hu and others to abandon the satellite city and retreat to Jin Gexian City.

The satellite city is too close to the branch, and the risk of rescue is too great, so we cannot take this risk.

But in this situation, every monk is precious, and Liu Yu is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to adapt.

Therefore, the monks from the satellite city were asked to try to return to Jin Ge and not be held accountable for the crime of losing the city.

"Disciple Yan Kai, I have urgent matters, please see Master Liu!"

After issuing the communication talisman, Yan Kai's voice sounded outside the cave before he thought about it for long.

"Come in."

Liu Yu said lightly.

The formation rumbled and a gap opened.

Yan Kai, together with several foundation-building deacons, hurried into the hall, saluted and said eagerly:

"Uncle Qi, the beast wave broke out about half a quarter of an hour ago!"

It can be seen that several people were very stressed after receiving the news of the outbreak of the beast tide, and sweat appeared on their faces.

"I already know about this matter."

Liu Yu said calmly, picked up the spirit tea and took a sip.

Yan Kai and others were stunned for a moment, but they didn't think much and said anxiously:

"In this case, please tell me, Uncle Master, should we send monks to rescue immediately?"

"The satellite city is in danger and may be in danger of overturning at any time!"

There were many Qingzhou monks and dozens of sect disciples in Satellite City No. 3, so they did not think of giving up directly.

Maybe...someone has thought of it, but didn't dare to say it in public.

Liu Yu heard this, but there was no movement on his face. He said without sadness or joy:

"Rescue? How to rescue?"

"Could it be possible to rescue people from the tidal wave of beasts by sending dozens of foundation-building monks?"

When several people heard this, they were obviously stunned and speechless.

Yan Kai's eyes widened slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, feeling a bone-chilling chill!

In the past, he only knew that Liu Yu was cruel to enemy cultivators, but he did not expect that he would be so ruthless to his fellow disciples!

"Such a callous decision was made in such a short period of time."

"Uncle Liu, have you really seriously considered the lives of your fellow disciples?"

"Still only care about your own interests!"

Yan Kaixin thought with some indignation, but he was silent, not daring to tell his true thoughts.
