Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

"Two paths."

Wan Yangxiu slightly moved his finger, and a virtual divination map appeared in the empty space in front of him.

"The first path is to continue attacking Yuyang City, and we must go all out, at any cost, to completely capture Yuyang City within three days!"

He pointed to Yuyang City and analyzed, "In this battle, Wandao Trading Company is not much better than us. Che Yang himself is injured, but with Elder Qi and me, we are enough to restrain him."

"As for the other Soul Formation realm cultivators, although they have the assistance of the Qishan Temple formation masters, they no longer have the numerical advantage compared to us."

"Our formation may not be as good as Wandao Trading Company's, but we can still launch a strong attack and overwhelm them with our numerical advantage."

"A formation composed of Nascent Soul realm cultivators can also join in, and dealing with Wandao Trading Company's Soul Formation realm cultivators will not be a problem."

Upon hearing this, the elders' faces couldn't help but darken.

Wan Yangxiu's strategy could definitely capture Yuyang City within two days at most, but the losses for them would be unimaginably heavy!

If it were the dynasty system of tens of thousands of years ago, where the army consisted of unrelated soldiers, this would undoubtedly be the best choice.

After all, in war, achieving the goal is always the top priority, and how much is sacrificed and gained in the process is not as important.

But they were a sect, and the ones fighting alongside them were their own disciples and bloodline descendants.

How could their hearts not be moved?

Watching their juniors and disciples pave the way with mountains of corpses and seas of blood was even more painful than killing them.

"What about the second option?"

Qi Yuan clearly didn't want to see this outcome either.

Even if he absolutely believed that this path might be the right choice.

After hearing Qi Yuanming's words, Wan Yangxiu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Indeed, it wouldn't work.

"Abandon Yuyang City and go directly to the Fallen God Valley!"

"As long as we attack the Fallen God Valley, the people from Wandao Trading Company will naturally collapse without being attacked. Then we can meet with Elder Gong and head south to attack Yuyang City. With the help of three Return to Void realm experts, we will definitely be able to completely capture Yuyang City before the Heavenly Demon Temple arrives. The current dilemma will naturally be resolved."

Qi Yuanming didn't even think about it and directly rejected Wan Yangxiu's suggestion, saying in a deep voice, "This method won't work."

"From Yuyang City to the Fallen God Valley, it will take at least three days, and a round trip will take six days. Before we attack Yuyang City, the Heavenly Demon Temple will have already arrived."

"I didn't say that everyone should evacuate."

Wan Yangxiu said in a firm voice, "The key to this battle is no longer how many people each side has, but whether the Return to Void realm can be balanced."

"You and I only need to send one person to the Fallen God Valley, and the current balance will be broken."

"And Elder Gong will also be able to break free."

"Before returning, you only need to forcefully break the trapped formation, and then you can return to Yuyang City without worrying about the others in the sect."

"Although Che Yang is strong, with the three of us working together, he will undoubtedly be defeated!"

Qi Yuanming didn't speak, but fell into a brief silence.

If only he or Wan Yangxiu went to support the Fallen God Valley, it would be enough with full speed, half a day would be sufficient.

And with one more Return to Void realm cultivator, Gong Jingci would be able to break free immediately.

Considering the time for the round trip, it would take at most one and a half days to return to Yuyang City.

However...

If one Return to Void realm cultivator left, the balance would be broken as well.

Only when he and Wan Yangxiu worked together could they barely balance Che Yang. But if one person left...

He looked at Wan Yangxiu, who smiled softly.

"I know what Elder Qi is worried about. We will fight and retreat."

"And, Wandao Trading Company may not be willing to fight us again."

Qi Yuanming nodded.

"In that case, I will stay in Yuyang City."

"Elder Qi..."

Wan Yangxiu wanted to say something more, but Qi Yuanming waved his hand and interrupted him directly.

"It's settled then. My ability to capture and kill is stronger than yours. I will stay, and I am more suitable than you."

Che Yang has mastered the rules of killing, and his strength is unquestionable.

Whoever stays in Yuyang City will be in more danger.

Wan Yangxiu's strength is not as good as his, and he cannot let Wan Yangxiu stay in Yuyang City.

Seeing that Qi Yuanming has made up his mind, Wan Yangxiu doesn't say anything else.

He stands up directly, slightly bows to everyone, and says in a solemn voice,

"I entrust Yuyang City to all of you."

"If Wan Dao Trading Company refuses to give up, remember, fight and retreat, don't be reckless!"

After finishing his instructions, Wan Yangxiu doesn't hesitate anymore and his whole figure disappears into the void.

At the same time, inside Yuyang City...

In the brightly lit Lord's Mansion.

Chen Hui sits upright in front of the desk, staring at the Feng Shui map in front of him, tapping the table with his fingers, making crisp sounds.

"Chen Lao!"

At this moment...

A young man in black robes walks quickly into the hall.

"The news from the Sinan Guard has arrived. Wan Yangxiu, an elder of the Qinghua Divine Sect, has already left Yuyang City a quarter of an hour ago!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hui, although he had already expected it, still felt ripples in his heart after hearing this news.

He takes a deep breath and says in a solemn voice,

"Immediately gather all the elders and masters in the city and come to the hall for a meeting!"

With the eldest brother Ji Boying restraining Gong Jingci, Ji Boying continues to draw spirit patterns in the Five Elements Trapped Immortal Formation, while hunting down the few women who are good at hiding and concealing.

Although their combat power is not high, their hiding and assassination skills are unmatched, especially their hiding skills. No one in the trading company can find their whereabouts.

Fortunately... Ji Boying has the Insightful Eye, otherwise, with these women, the Qinghua Divine Sect would be able to gradually dismantle the trading company's formation.

In this way...

From the start of the battle between the two sides until now, a full seven hours have passed.

Both the Qinghua Divine Sect and the Wan Dao Trading Company are exhausted from the continuous fighting.

Even the Soul Formation stage cultivators are the same.

The only ones who are relatively better off are the physical cultivators in the Qishan and Xuanyin main halls.

After all, among all the cultivators, only the physical cultivators focus on Body Refining, while the others, no matter what kind of cultivators they are, focus on tempering their Primordial Spirit. Therefore... in terms of endurance, they are naturally not as good as the crude and violent physical cultivators.

As for Ji Boying, it's even more so.

Ji Boying himself is a Divine Power stage cultivator, and unless there are special circumstances, he works hard and teaches every day.

Don't be fooled by the low cultivation levels of Xiao Ninger and Ye Qingqing, who only have Gold Core cultivation. The only one with a higher cultivation level, Li Yueyao, is only at the Nascent Soul stage.

But the high-intensity exchanges day after day are not something that everyone can withstand.

At least, pure spell cultivators, under such high-frequency output, would probably be depleted of their qi and blood in less than half a month.

But Ji Boying, every time he exchanges, he teaches everything he knows and then replenishes his qi and blood, waiting for the next round of exchanges.

Under such repeated exchanges...

His qi and blood and his own recovery ability have been well tempered.

At least...

After these few hours of continuous fighting, he still retains more than 80% of his strength, while other spell cultivators, no matter how well they preserve their strength, only have about 30% left. The physical cultivators in the Qishan and Xuanyin main halls may be slightly better, still having about 60-70% left, but they are still far behind Ji Boying.

Ji Boying quickly shuttles through the formation, sending out mass-boosting spirit patterns, as well as various barriers, prohibitions, and interfering runes, and finally completes the drawing.

Of course, if he only draws mass-boosting spirit patterns, Ji Boying can finish it in just an hour, but considering that the battlefield is too chaotic and he needs to ensure that the mass-boosting spirit patterns can be used repeatedly, protection mechanisms such as barriers, prohibitions, and interference are necessary.

Therefore, naturally, it takes much longer than normal.

He glanced at Gong Jingci, who was still confronting the eldest brother, and silently took out a stack of talismans from his storage ring.

But...

Just as he was about to take action...

A deafening sonic boom suddenly came from the distant sky!
