Immortal Palace Longevity

Chapter 777: Cruel Decision

In other words, once the Haoyue Immortal City falls, the impact will be very significant.

At that time, within a radius of 20,000 miles, all the gathering places of immortal cultivators, big and small, will become "isolated islands" and may be swallowed up by the demons.

The demons will not give the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World the opportunity to re-establish its core.

A radius of 20,000 miles is almost equivalent to two Qingzhous, and is half the size of the Chu State. It must not be easily abandoned.

Haoyue Immortal City is only 200,000 miles away from the center of the Seven Nations Alliance.

Otherwise, if a city is lost today and another place is lost tomorrow, it won't take long for the demons to reach the Five Elements Pass!

Once an accident occurs at the Five Elements Pass, most of the territory of the Seven Nations Alliance will fall, and there will be a chain reaction like the collapse of dominoes.

By then, the entire Seven Nations Alliance will be powerless to save the situation.

Because of the importance of such a serious matter, Haoyue Immortal City is guarded by three True Lords all year round, and they rotate every fifteen years.

But, that was only before.

With the arrival of Mo Mei, the lineup guarding this city is unprecedentedly luxurious, reaching a level that many stationed True Lords envy!

...

Two days later.

On a certain section of the city wall of Haoyue Immortal City, four figures stood quietly, looking far into the north.

It was Liu Yu, Mo Mei, Kong Zhao, and Huang Mei.

Behind the four people, more than a dozen Jindan stood respectfully, talking about some information around the Immortal City from time to time.

The setting sun shone down, falling on sections of the city wall and the faces of the cultivators, and the tragic and murderous aura seemed to fade a little.

"The "Four Symbols Rotating Formation" of this city has both offensive and defensive capabilities, and its grade is as high as the fourth-level middle grade. Even if the fourth-level late-stage Great Demon King comes in person, it can still hold on for a while."

"This formation..."

A city-guarding elder in the late Jindan stage described the situation of the city defense formation in detail.

Two days later, the group successfully completed the handover and officially settled in Haoyue Immortal City, familiar with the basic situation of this immortal city and its surroundings.

The mist filled the mountains, and the sun struggled tenaciously on the distant horizon. The blood-red glow, with a hint of warmth, shone on Liu Yu's burly body.

Bathing in the sunset, he listened carefully to the reports of the Jindan monks, but his eyes were looking at the monks coming and going from all directions of the fairy city.

Night was about to fall, and a series of escape lights kept flying in all directions, landing five or six miles away from the Haoyue Fairy City, revealing the figures of monks.

The expressions of these monks were different. Some had a lot of harvests and were happy, some lost their companions and were depressed, and some were very cautious.

The vast majority of monks had unusually active mana fluctuations.

Obviously, they had experienced life-and-death battles not long ago, and some people still had shocking wounds on their bodies.

They either formed groups of large and small groups to complete the task: or they were alone for various reasons, traveling alone in the unknown wilderness.

In order to show their strength and deter the villains, some monks did not even put the corpses of the monsters into storage bags, but carried them on their backs.

But in general, there are obviously more small groups than "lone wolves" acting alone.

Under the background of emphasizing "unity", the three alliances encourage low-level monks to form teams to complete various tasks assigned by the alliance.

After all, human energy is always limited, and it is impossible to be proficient in everything.

However, when several monks join together, it is possible to make up for their respective shortcomings, so that attack, defense, movement and other aspects can be taken into account.

When facing low-level monsters, it is undoubtedly a great advantage.

On the other hand, although most of those who choose this method have enough confidence in their own strength, there are countless examples of failure.

Because even if the strength is strong, it is impossible to have no shortcomings in all aspects.

Once an unexpected situation occurs, the ability to resist the accident is far lower than that of a team composed of several people.

In this case, the monks acting alone can only try to make up for the shortcomings in all aspects, and cannot leave obvious shortcomings. One person should be equivalent to a team.

But there are very few monks who can achieve this level.

On a battlefield full of waves and sand, a person who can survive five years on the front line alone is already an outstanding person of the same level, and his potential and strength are not comparable to ordinary cultivators.

Under the huge immortal city, there are several teams lined up at the city gate, and only a few cultivators act alone.

They often carry a fierce murderous aura. Even if the cultivator team has an advantage in numbers, they look at the front with fear.

Standing on the city wall more than 30 feet high, Liu Yu took in this scene and silently watched the low-level cultivators.

Once upon a time, he was also one of them.

But since the opening of the immortal mansion, after two or three hundred years of ups and downs, he finally had the full power of choice.

After the opening of the immortal mansion, not only Liu Yu's fate changed, but also the fate of the cultivators he had contacted deviated from the original trajectory. ..

For example, the dead souls of his subordinates, such as concubines.

Liu Yu is like a "black hole" that can distort everything. The fate of all living beings who have come into contact with him will be distorted and deviated.

"Although I was once one of them, now that I am a True Lord, everything is completely different."

"A True Lord like me no longer has the patience to listen to the wishes of tiny ants..."

Thinking like this, Liu Yu withdrew his thoughts.

At this moment, the True Lord who was talking freely on the city wall formed a sharp contrast with the various low-level cultivators under the city wall.

Although they were all in the human camp, because of their different levels, it seemed as if they were in two completely different worlds.

……

"Within a radius of 20,000 miles, there are eight large gathering places and ninety-six small and medium-sized gathering places, all under the jurisdiction of Haoyue Xiancheng."

"As for the strongholds of individual cultivation families or small sects, it is difficult to count."

"The strength of the various departments of the demon clan is too strong, and the demon beasts are fearless under the drive of demon cultivators."

"Although their offensive enthusiasm is showing a slowly declining trend, the current situation is still very grim."

"Within the radiation range of this city, the defensive pressure of the gathering places is amazing, and more than half of them have sent messages requesting reinforcements."

"Junior dare not act on his own, please ask Senior Mo Mei to take charge of the overall situation."

The person in charge of coordinating all parties in Haoyue Xiancheng is a white-haired Jindan male cultivator who is very old. He quickly repeated the basic information and respectfully asked for instructions.

Although he is the nominal "city lord" and can decide many things, he has no right to decide some really important matters, such as sending cultivators to reinforce various gathering places.

This person is old and has no potential for further advancement, so he was sent to the front line by his forces and became a de facto "abandoned child".

He just wants to spend his old age in peace and will not make decisions casually.

As soon as the voice fell, all the cultivators focused on Mo Mei Zhenjun.

After all, guarding Haoyue Xiancheng is this woman's mission. According to the agreement, Liu Yu and the other two are just to protect her safety.

As for other miscellaneous matters, there is no obligation or interest to manage.

Originally, in addition to Mo Mei, there were two other Zhenjuns who carried out this mission together.

But because of the push of Xuanbing Palace, Mo Mei did not trust these two people by nature and suspected that they were "Nangongtian"'s people.

So they just met to maintain superficial peace, and there was not much communication in fact.

Relying on the four Zhenjuns on her side, she firmly held the control of Haoyue Xiancheng in her hands and did not give the two people the opportunity to decide major matters.

Facing the powerful Liu Yu and others, the two Zhenjuns were also very sensible and did not intend to forcibly interfere in the affairs of the Xiancheng.

"Request reinforcement?"

Hearing this, Master Mo Mei's eyes flashed, and then he lowered his head to think, without speaking immediately.

She looked at the low-level cultivators coming in and out of the city gate with a faint look of hesitation.

But this hesitation was eventually replaced by indifference.

After seven or eight breaths, Master Mo Mei said indifferently:

"Don't act rashly. I have my own arrangements for reinforcements."

"Without my order, the cultivators guarding Haoyue City cannot transfer anyone out privately!"

After a brief hesitation, she was left with indifference and calmness.

Obviously, she had made her decision.

If a low-level cultivator rashly intervenes in a high-level fight, it is almost the same as seeking death, and the impact is also very limited.

But it is useless for attacking, but it is still useful for defense.

Relying on the formation to defend the city can also enhance the defense of the fairy city and ensure the safety of the fairy city to the greatest extent.

In this case, the more monks defending the city, the better.

"This..."

"Please let Senior Mo Mei know that the battles in the major gathering places are in a stalemate, and the situation is extremely urgent."

"If reinforcements are not provided in time, the consequences..."

Hearing this, the Jindan City Lord reacted very quickly and immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words.

But after a change of mind, he still said with difficulty.

The Jindan City Lord has no right to send reinforcements directly, but has the responsibility to make things clear.

If it is not made clear, the gathering place will fall, and he will bear a large part of the responsibility.

So this person's heart is not much fluctuating, but he still behaves like a "loyal old minister".

"Hmm?"

Without waiting for this person to finish speaking, Mo Mei Zhenjun snorted and directly released part of the Nascent Soul spiritual pressure.

The atmosphere on the city wall instantly became depressed.

"Boom!

!"

The powerful spiritual pressure and might descended, and the Jindan City Lord trembled, and the voice immediately became smaller, until it finally disappeared.

After fulfilling his duty, he walked down the steps, not really for the public good.

When the other Jindan managers saw this scene, how could they not understand what Master Momei meant?

Several of the Jindan did feel a little reluctant, but they moved their lips and finally did not dare to refute.

Such a decision ignored the fellows in the major gathering places who were in dire straits.

Many of the cultivators present instinctively felt that it was wrong.

It can be foreseen that the gathering places that have not received reinforcements for a long time will have a terrible final result under the surging waves of beasts.

It's just... the immortal way is private.

Although many cultivators instinctively felt uncomfortable and wrong, after all, it was none of their business and did not really harm their own interests.

Under the majestic gaze of Master Yuanying, they still did not force themselves to step forward.

After all, they are all Jindan Zhenren. Even if there are descendants in the major gathering places, it is too easy to take them away. There is no need to offend a Zhenjun for this.

Otherwise, in the front line where the True Lord can decide anything, Mo Mei can immediately arrange the mission of sending people to die legally.

A higher realm can really crush people to death. It is too easy for high-level cultivators to deal with low-level cultivators, and it will not change at any time.

Several Jindan True Lords felt cold in their hearts, but faced with Mo Mei's unreasonable decision, they kept silent at the same time.

"Retreat."

Seeing this scene, Mo Mei was secretly satisfied, and then turned to look to the north and said calmly.

How could she not know that sending elite cultivators to reinforce the gathering place was indeed the most correct choice, which was in line with the righteousness of the Tiannan Xiuxian World.

It was just that the interests of the Tiannan Xiuxian World were not the same as Mo Mei's own interests.

She just wanted to stay there for fifteen years in peace, no matter what happened, as long as Haoyue Xiancheng was fine.

Once the fifteen years were up, she would immediately return to Danding Sect.

Between Tiannan and herself, Mo Mei had already made a choice.

"Junior, I'm leaving."

Hearing this, several Jindan managers immediately bowed and left as if they had been pardoned.

Beside Mo Mei, Liu Yu, Huang Mei, and Kong Zhao witnessed the entire decision-making process from beginning to end,

but the three of them looked indifferent, and had no intention of intervening.

After practicing to their current level, they had at least hundreds of years of experience, and had seen too many dirty things in the Xiuxian World, and similar things had long been commonplace.

The passion had long cooled down.

Except for a few exceptions, most of the True Lords only have the obsession of climbing the immortal path and pursuing the truth, and their beliefs will not be shaken by the so-called "righteousness".

Compared with low-level cultivators and mortals, the life essence of Yuanying True Lord is much higher.

Except for the appearance of being human, the life essence is completely different, and it can even be said to be a different species.

According to the different cultivation methods, both the body and the mind have undergone many transformations and sublimation, and have gone very far in a certain direction.

In this case, the recognition of the concept of "human" may not be so strong.

How can they care about the life and death of low-level cultivators and mortals?

Moreover, seriously speaking, for Yuanying True Lord, the body is just a shell, and the "Yuanying" is the real self.

Even if they abandon the body, they can use spiritual objects to shape the body, or even directly seize the body of a demon beast with excellent bloodline, and they can still continue to practice.

At that time, "I" is still "I".

Low-level cultivators defending the city can indeed strengthen the defense of Haoyue Immortal City, but the effect may not be very great.

As all true lords, the three of them could change Mo Mei's decision without paying any price if they just spoke up.

But they looked at things from different perspectives. The life and death of thousands of cultivators were insignificant in the eyes of Yuanying cultivators, and the three of them had no intention of speaking up.

Even the old monk Kongzhao folded his hands and looked out of the city, as if he didn't hear anything around him.

"The heart of a cultivator is filled with the corruption of the whole world."

Shaking his head secretly in his heart, Liu Yu turned his eyes and continued to appreciate the beautiful scenery outside the city.

He did not comment on Mo Mei's decision.

If sacrificing the lives of thousands of cultivators can help themselves, I believe that most Yuanying old monsters will not hesitate.

"Absolute freedom~"

"This world is so cruel, but... it is beautiful because of it."

With his hands behind his back, Liu Yu, dressed in a black robe, looked into the distance leisurely.

"There is no need to care about the life and death of others."

"But I have to take care of the safety of the sect's disciples. It seems not good to turn a blind eye."

"After all, the interests of the sect are, to some extent, also my own interests."

This thought flashed through his mind.

Without any intention of hiding it, Liu Yu immediately raised his hand and sent out a communication talisman, which turned into a white light and flew away at high speed.
