Mortal Seeking Immortal

When Li Zhou and his companions arrived, they gathered all the scattered monks together. The old man in Taoist robes came forward, and a breath of great perfection of Jindan was released from him.

The old man in Taoist robes glanced at Ye Zhou and his companions, and ordered in a cold voice: "Count the number of people."

Li Zhou and his companions stepped forward holding the list and began to count the monks under their respective jurisdiction.

In just a quarter of an hour, the number of people had been counted. Li Zhou and his companions made some marks on the list and reported the final result to the old man in Taoist robes.

The old man in Taoist robes looked gloomy: "The total number should be 30 to 10 people. Only 20 to 20 people gathered here today. Where are the remaining 90 people?"

Li Zhou and his companions looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and said, "Old Xu, these monks have registered their respective residences in the city on the list. In my opinion, why not send someone to check?"

The old man in Taoist robes snorted coldly and said, "Now time is tight, sending people to check will only waste our time. Our first task is to send people to defend the city."

When Ye Zhou heard this, he knew that what Zhuang Yu said just now was true. This time they were summoned here to really let them go to the city tower for defense.

Ye Zhou's eyes sank slightly.

The other monks beside him also heard what the old man in Taoist robes said, and began to discuss in a low voice, as if they were thinking of a solution. Some monks' eyes flickered, and they looked around from time to time, as if they were looking for a way out.

He went forward to report to the man and asked, "Then according to Master Xu, we don't need to care about the remaining people who didn't come?"

The old man in Taoist robes had a murderous intent in his eyes: "The Lord of the City has ordered that those who flee in battle will be killed!"

"Give orders, once people find the traces of these ninety people in the city, they will be killed."

As soon as these words came out, the discussion of the monks present stopped, and they looked at the old man in Taoist robes with some fear in their eyes. The monks who had just looked around frequently to find a way out now quickly retracted their gazes and dared not think about it anymore.

The old man in Taoist robes did not care what these monks thought. He looked deeply at the city wall, which was covered with a layer of colorful array light. The monks on the city wall were all covered by this layer of light, and their expressions were unknown.

The old man in Taoist robe quickly assigned Li Zhou and his men their respective positions to defend the city, and then asked Li Zhou and his men to take their monks to the tower for defense.

Before leaving, the old man in Taoist robe coldly said to Li Zhou and his men: "Remember, anyone who goes down the tower without orders will be killed without mercy!"

This was a warning to Ye Zhou and his group of monks not to think about it, and also a reminder to Li Zhou and his men that if they went down the tower without orders, they would also die.

Li Zhou and his men looked solemn, and headed up the city wall with their monks.

Before going up the city wall, Ye Zhou inadvertently looked back at the position of the old man in Taoist robe, only to see that he did not leave, but turned and entered a temporary house under the city wall, and it seemed that he was going to stay there.

Not long after, Ye Zhou and more than 40 people climbed up the city wall under the leadership of Li Zhou.

As soon as we climbed the city wall, the view in front of us instantly widened a lot. In the distance was the endless Guijue Desert. Far away from the city wall, there were several figures standing. They were looking in the direction of Xianliu City. They should be the monks who had just escaped under the city wall.

As Li Zhou and his group climbed the tower, the monks from the City Lord's Mansion who were originally guarding the city wall put away their magic weapons and turned to walk down the city wall. It seemed that they were only sent to guard the city wall temporarily.
