Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

Disperse the firepower!

The reason why headquarters agreed to send so many flying boats over is to disperse the attacks from the demonic cultivators, allowing the people stationed in the branch to escape in the chaos!

But, is the cost too high?

The cost of a flying boat is not low!

Could there be another purpose?

As thoughts circulated, the other officials present began to discuss.

Although they were also surprised, they did not reject Wu Yuanyu's approach.

Being able to take as many people as possible to escape is not a bad thing for them and even for the branch.

At least...

The probability of surviving and going to Zhongzhou is much higher.

In this way, with the discussion of the crowd, the matter of the flying boats came to an end.

Ji Boying directly entered the second topic.

"Now that the demonic cultivators have decided to launch a large-scale attack on the Canglong Immortal City."

"The outer city will not be able to hold on for long."

"At that time... many cultivators will gather in the inner city."

"Instead of passively accepting it when that time comes, it is better to actively bring the outer city cultivators into the inner city."

"What do you all think?"

Ji Boying looked at the crowd.

"Mr. Ji is right."

As soon as the words fell, an elder immediately spoke in support:

"The outer city area of Canglong Immortal City is too large and too scattered, which is not conducive to defense."

"If we can gather all the outer city cultivators in the inner city, it will not only be easier to defend, but also more conducive to consolidating our strength!"

"I think it's inappropriate."

Another official said:

"Let's not talk about it. The outer city is the first line of defense. If we abandon it rashly, it will only accelerate the invasion of the demonic cultivators."

"Just the scattered cultivators in the outer city alone will consume a lot of our energy!"

"Now Canglong Immortal City is already in disarray, and people's hearts have long been scattered. Bringing the outer city cultivators in rashly may cause internal strife!"

"That's right!"

"It's too risky to go all-in on the inner city. If we are besieged and there are defectors who surrender to the demonic cultivators, what should we do?"

After the official who opposed spoke, others immediately echoed, but soon there were voices of opposition.

"I don't think so!"

"If we don't concentrate all our forces in the inner city, when the outer city is breached, it will only be more chaotic! Even those defectors who have already joined the demonic cultivators may be among them!"

"At that time, we will definitely be caught in a dilemma."

"This is not good, that is not good, then what do you suggest?"

Everyone had their own opinions, and soon they fell into a deadlock.

Yang Qingshan and Wu Yuanyu glanced at each other, then both turned their gaze to Ji Boying.

When the other officials and elders who were arguing saw that the two people in the lead did not speak, they also stopped arguing and turned their gaze to Ji Boying.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? I'm just giving a direction!"

Facing the gaze of the crowd, Ji Boying sighed helplessly in his heart.

"What you all said makes sense."

"However, compared to the demonic cultivators outside, what Ji cares more about is people's hearts!"

He looked around at everyone, paused, and continued:

"The flying boats from Fufeng Main Hall will take another month to reach Canglong Immortal City."

"In other words, we still have to defend here for at least a month!"

"But... have you all considered that with the current scattered people's hearts in Canglong Immortal City, we can't even hold on for half a month, let alone a month."

"People's hearts are already scattered, even if we gather everyone together, it may not be able to be consolidated."

Someone said softly.

"I never intended to win over the hearts of the people."

Ji Boying said indifferently,

"I just want everyone in the inner city to know that there are no survivors under a collapsed nest. If we're going to die, we'll die together. No one can survive alone!"

"That's enough."

Upon hearing this, everyone was initially stunned.

Including Wu Yuanyu and Yang Qingshan, a hint of confusion appeared on their faces.

But soon,

They understood Ji Boying's intention.

No matter how they defended the city this time, they couldn't hold on.

If they could unite all the cultivators and fight together, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

However... as the officials and elders had previously said, gathering all the cultivators in one place couldn't guarantee that there would be no traitors or internal conflicts. Any slight mistake would accelerate their demise.

But the premise for this was that those cultivators still held a glimmer of hope for survival.

If they were told now that everyone would undoubtedly die in this disaster, even if they betrayed, they would only be struggling to survive and would eventually die!

According to Ji Boying's speculation, betrayal was indeed a very likely dead end.

The demonic cultivators already harbored extreme hatred towards righteous cultivators. Those aristocratic families who had defected were most likely to be used as cannon fodder and then turn against each other.

When these cultivators knew that they were undoubtedly going to die, the only remaining trace of hope in their hearts would instantly vanish, leaving only hatred and anger.

At this point, all it took was a little stimulation to make their hatred and anger explode!

And the best target for their outburst would be the demonic cultivators!

Thinking of this, Wu Yuanyu couldn't help but breathe faster, and his gaze towards Ji Boying also showed a lot of admiration.

Ding--

Just at this moment,

A bell suddenly rang.

Everyone's expressions changed.

Wu Yuanyu was the first to stand up and said in a deep voice,

"If nothing unexpected happens, the demonic cultivators have started attacking the city again!"

"In that case, let's end the meeting here today!"

Ji Boying also stood up and immediately threw out several stacks of talismans from his storage ring, bowing to everyone,

"All I can do is provide support with talismans. As for killing the enemy... we still have to rely on all of you!"

"That's only natural!"

Wu Yuanyu didn't hesitate and took the talismans, distributing them to everyone present, then led them out.

There was no objection from the crowd regarding Ji Boying not joining the battle.

In fact... in their eyes, Ji Boying staying behind to make talismans was much more beneficial than him joining the battle.

If Ji Boying joined the battle, although he could kill many enemies with the talismans in his hand, it would be extremely difficult to kill cultivators at the Nascent Soul level.

If they encountered several Nascent Soul cultivators attacking together, there might even be a danger of falling.

But if Ji Boying could hand over the talismans he refined to Wu Yuanyu and the other Nascent Soul realm experts,

Then...

With these talismans, they not only gained the confidence to kill Nascent Soul realm experts, but also had a means of self-preservation!

After all, the small Five Thunder Talisman refined by Ji Boying was already comparable to a full-powered strike from a peak Nascent Soul cultivator.

So, even if it was just for the sake of self-preservation, they didn't want Ji Boying to join the battle.

Of course...

All of this was based on their knowledge that Ji Boying was a Gold Core talisman cultivator. They didn't know that Ji Boying's sword cultivation had already reached the mid-stage of the Momentum Realm, and he even had his own sword heart!

Combined with his bloodline, talisman cultivation, and other Divine Ability secret techniques, even if a Soul Formation cultivator came, he had the power to fight!

As for Nascent Soul cultivators?

Easily killable!

However, even so, Ji Boying didn't want to join the battle right now.

Firstly, it was unnecessary. According to Wu Yuanyu, the demonic cultivators currently attacking were mostly at the Gold Core level, and there weren't many Nascent Soul cultivators.

Furthermore... all of his thoughts were focused on exchanging spiritual power, and he had reached a critical stage.

He really didn't want to stagnate at this point and break his train of thought...
