Pursuing Longevity With an Immortal Mansion

Chapter 305: Life and death (three in one chapter)

Since the Chu monks are determined to take action, it means that there is no room for maneuver in this matter.

Master Ziyun stopped talking and jumped off the tower immediately, trying his best to maintain the stability of the formation.

"Bang bang bang"

Flying swords, spears, silver-ringed jade butterflies and other magic weapons, with shining aura and powerful power, fell on the city defense formation, making waves of roars.

Even the third-level formation is no longer reliable when faced with attacks from dozens of Golden Core cultivators.

After just a few breaths and several rounds of attacks, the formation seemed to be on the verge of collapse. If this trend continued, I'm afraid it wouldn't last long before it collapsed.

"Oops, the Yimu Evergreen Formation won't last long, so now we have no choice but to leave first."

Ziyun Laodao's rich experience accurately judged the situation, and when he saw that there was nothing he could do, he suddenly felt like retreating.

He rolled his eyes and quickly descended from the city wall, holding the formation plate to control the formation while quickly flying towards the Teleportation Hall.

This person received the news in advance and immediately made corresponding arrangements. He first notified Baiyun Temple, and then arranged manpower to maintain order in the ancient city.

The elite disciples of Baiyunguan have been arranged by him to be near the teleportation array, and they can retreat through the teleportation array at any time.

On the five spiritual ships, the monks from the five major sects of the Chu Kingdom looked at the scene in front of them. They were also shocked at this moment.

Is this the magical power of Master Jin Dan?

This thought flashed across many monks' minds, and Liu Yu was no exception.

At such a close range, he was greatly shocked by the powerful power of each strike of the magic weapon as he watched dozens of Golden Elixir monks take action.

He also became more aware of the huge gap between foundation-building monks and golden elixir monks.

Under the sharp edge of the magic weapon, if Liu Yu chooses to fight head-on, even if he uses his full strength to activate the thick earth holding umbrella, his defense will not be much better than the performance of paper.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg for the Golden elixir monks.

"Rumble"

Dozens of Jindan cultivators, headed by the five great masters, showed no intention of stopping their attack. The formation shook violently amidst loud noises.

Even the seven green light pillars that serve as the foundation show signs of shrinking and collapsing, and the prohibition runes on the city wall are dimming rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On the bronze-colored wall, new wounds, large and small, appeared, and there were even sword marks about half a foot long.

Each step entered three points, causing a restriction to collapse directly.

Although the top leaders of the four major sects in the Yan Kingdom have reached a consensus and have turned to the Righteous Alliance.

But although each of them has their own sect's interests, they may not be of the same mind.

If you want to mobilize the power of the four major sects to jointly resist the attacks of Chu and Qi, it will take a long time. No matter how fast it is, it will take three to five days to coordinate.

And reinforcements came infrequently, and it was no different than sending someone to death.

“Save people and lose land, and everyone and land will survive. Save land and lose people, and everyone and land will be lost.”

That's why Old Taoist Ziyun never thought about holding on to Guque City. The first thing he thought about was pretending to be false, hoping to delay the sect's response.

At this moment, he gave an order, and the elite monks and monks from Baiyun Temple continued to board the teleportation array and were teleported to the hinterland of Youzhou.

The news of Chu's attack from Guque City spread throughout Yan.

At the same time, news of the fall of Tianluo City in the west and Qi's attack from the west also spread throughout Yan.

For a time, there was a storm and a roar of wind, and it seemed that the Yan Kingdom was about to overthrow at any time.

…

"Ding", "click" and "bang"

Under the relentless attack of dozens of magic weapons, the third-order Yimu Evergreen Formation, which was arranged according to the topography and mountains of the ancient city, looked crumbling.

But this is a genuine third-level formation after all, and it has the blessing of a favorable location.

With this appearance, he persisted for only half an hour.

This is due to Ziyun Lao Tao's correct decision-making. When he sees something, he can't give up the attack and defend with all his strength.

There are also many "City Guards" who are desperately trying to maintain and repair the formation, hoping to show themselves in front of the real people in Baiyun Temple, hoping to be accepted into the family, or given rewards to achieve success.

It is not surprising that this situation occurs. Just like the Chu State, the rule of the four major sects of the Yan State has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Although the situation was not good for a while, no monk thought that Baiyun Temple would be defeated.

Many monks have not really understood the situation and are still in the dark. At this time, they are still "acting bravely" in the hope of winning the favor of the ruler.

Little did they know, they had become abandoned children.

Except for a few elite disciples, all the monks in the city who have connections with Baiyun Temple, including the unimportant inner and outer disciples of their sect, have been effectively abandoned.

They, without knowing anything, are about to face disaster.

The formation was about to be shattered. As the teleportation light dimmed, the last elite disciple also left through the teleportation formation. There was an emptiness and silence in the hall, and the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.

Old Taoist Ziyun took one last deep look at the outside world, and his spiritual consciousness let go and scanned the believers and monks all over the city, and then without looking back he activated the teleportation formation and stepped forward.

"Is it really right for Guanzhong to make such a decision?"

This thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and then he shook his head and put it down, feeling a little ashamed that he had questioned Guan Zhong's decision.

"It has been three hundred years since I came here when my cultivation was in the middle stage of the Golden Core."

"I didn't expect that it would be lost in my hands now."

"That's all, that's all, my foundation is in the sect after all."

"As long as the sect is still there, we may not be able to recapture the ancient palace one day!"

Accompanied by a complicated and unintelligible sigh, the figure of Ziyun Lao Dao disappeared in the dazzling brilliance.

There was only one sigh left, echoing in the empty and silent teleportation hall.

"Crack!"

Just two breaths after Ziyun Lao Dao disappeared, with a huge roar, the Yimu Evergreen Formation finally couldn't hold on and officially broke.

The light curtain covering the huge city suddenly disappeared, the flashing spiritual light on the city wall suddenly dimmed, and the restrictions engraved on it almost collapsed.

In the awed eyes of the monks in the city, dozens of escaping lights flew directly into the city and flew towards the Teleportation Hall.

At this moment, some of the monks realized that "heaven" had changed.

Normally, only Golden Core monks can fly in Guque City, but now that the formation is broken and the monks flying in the air are undoubtedly at the Golden Core stage, the monks still in the city cannot even think of resisting.

I wonder what the other party’s attitude is? What to do with them?

Many monks were uneasy because of this, especially the monks who were closely connected with Baiyun Temple.

The old rules have been broken, and the new rules may not have taken effect yet. Perhaps, what can be done now?

A monk in the city rolled his eyes, thought of the key point, and immediately looked at the shop that usually made a lot of money and was rich in resources, with greed in his eyes.

There are also monks who just want to save their lives and stay out of the incident. After the golden elixirs leave, they immediately control the magic weapon to rise into the sky and fly towards the outside of the city.

Unfortunately, before they could fly very far, they were killed by a magic weapon, and their bodies were torn apart with a scream.

The range of the Jindan monk's spiritual consciousness is tens or even hundreds of miles, and it is not a problem to cover the entire ancient city. Wherever the spiritual consciousness goes, there is a magic weapon.

After seeing the tragic situation of the latter, many monks had a look of fear in their eyes and gave up the same idea.

But seeing that the monks who took the opportunity to "get rich" were still safe and sound, some monks couldn't help but join in, causing the entire ancient city to gradually fall into chaos.

"All disciples obey the order and seal the four gates. Anyone who wants to take advantage of the opportunity to leave."

"Kill without mercy!!!"

The sudden change occurred in just a few breaths. Liu Yuzheng looked at it carefully and suddenly received a few spiritual messages in his ears, so he took action immediately.

Turning to look at Jiang Qiushui and the other disciples, he saw some changes in their expressions, and knew that they had also received the order.

So there were one hundred and fifty escaping lights on the spot, flying down from the Cangwu Spirit Ship and landing outside the east gate of Ancient Que City.

Since no news of the elders' entry was received, the monks did not make any decisions to enter the city at this time. According to Liu Yu's observation, the same was true for the foundation-building monks of other sects.

Standing at the city gate, with the spiritual consciousness of a foundation-building monk, one can easily observe part of the situation in the ancient city.

At this time, the city has fallen into preliminary chaos, and some daring people are doing things they usually want to do but dare not do.

Burning, killing, looting, and plundering all kinds of evil acts are being performed in the city one by one.

In the chaos, the true nature of many monks was released.

If there is no tomorrow, what is there to fear? Why not indulge before you die!

Of course, this is only a small group of monks after all. Most monks still protect themselves and passively accept all kinds of changes.

But it is foreseeable that if it is not stopped, the chaos will further intensify.

Standing at the east gate of the ancient city, with the strength of Liu Yu's consciousness, he could clearly scan the situation in the east city.

The scenes that came into his consciousness made his eyes flash, and he couldn't help but feel slightly moved.

As the victorious party, of course it has some "privileges". Can it use this to seek some benefits that are not available on ordinary days?

After all, many shops in the city were only recognized by Baiyunguan. Of course, they have lost their effectiveness now and no longer have legitimacy.

These monks or families who own shops have absolutely extremely rich resources, far beyond what ordinary monks can match.

In particular, its unique inheritance of alchemy, weapon refining, and talisman making skills are things that you can't usually buy even if you want to.

"Is it possible to take advantage of this opportunity to get some of these precious inheritances and skills?"

Liu Yu's ideas changed at this time, and all kinds of bold ideas that he didn't usually have flashed through.

The pupils under his eyelashes were as dark as ink, and his eyes were cold and ruthless!

As for the monks who are unwilling to cooperate and hand over their inheritance and skills, what is there to say? They are definitely the "remnants" of Baiyun Temple, and of course they must be eliminated quickly.

But no matter what the monks of the five sects thought, they did not take a step beyond the thunder pool before receiving instructions from Elder Jindan.

Jindan of Chu State is searching for Ziyun Lao Dao, but he has already escaped through the teleportation array, so nothing is found.

After seeing the teleportation array destroyed by the other end, they instantly understood the cause and effect, and after searching for a while, they had to give up.

Before a monk reaches an extremely high level, he cannot block the space at all, and therefore cannot prevent the operation of the teleportation array, unless it is a treasure with spatial attributes that can block the space.

None of the monks present had this kind of cultivation, nor did they have space treasures. There was really no good way to deal with the enemy cultivators who had teleported away.

The main goal this time is to capture the ancient city and provide a foothold in the Yan Kingdom for the subsequent arrival of monks. Killing the enemy is only secondary.

Seeing this, Jindan of Chu State immediately made some arrangements.

Immediately sent a message back to Chu State, asking it to send follow-up monks to arrive.

Then most of the foundation-building monks were arranged to enter the city to maintain order, while a small number of monks stayed at the four city gates and were still not allowed to enter or leave.

Liu Yu, Jiang Qiushui, and Yan Kai were assigned to the monks who went into the city to maintain order, while Cui Liang was assigned to the monks who stayed behind at the four gates.

"I really envy you, Junior Brother Liu. There are a lot of benefits that can be gained in the city at this time."

Cui Liang looked envious and said sourly, with a hint of sourness in his words.

"Luck, luck, we all follow the instructions of the elders."

The corner of Liu Yu's mouth moved and she said with a smile.

The monks who then performed the mission rushed straight into the city with their magic weapons, and fell into the light of escape in the East City, stopping on the ground in front of an auction house.

They didn't know the game between the Jindan monks, but judging from the fact that Yuanyang Sect "maintained order" in the most prosperous Dongshi, they would not be at a disadvantage.

The elders were arranged to work in teams of three so that they could take care of each other in case of an attack or accident.

As for more specific matters, they were left to Zhao Wuji and Qin Qing among the Three Heroes and Four Elites, while the other top foundation-building monks were arranged at the city gate.

The Yuanyang Sect's foundation-building monks followed the elder's order and formed thirty teams of three people.

A dozen fellow disciples who were relatively withdrawn and liked to live alone were also forcibly brought together by Qin Qing to form three teams.

Liu Yu, Jiang Qiushui and Yan Kai reported to Qin Qing in a low-key manner, and then watched the whole process without saying a word.

Zhao Wuji was dressed in dark purple clothes, and his face had no eyebrows or stars.

As the number one among the Three Heroes and Four Heroes, his arrogance was even greater than that of Zhou Zhuofeng, whom Liu Yu had come into contact with.

Qin Qing was doing all the things arranged by the elder, while he stood aside aloofly. Occasionally, his fellow disciples who wanted to get close would be defeated by his cold eyes.

In the same prosperous Dongshi, the oil and water in different streets are naturally different. Some street sections can be harvested more, and some sections can be harvested less. There is a lot of knowledge in this.

If you are not careful, it may cause discord between fellow students.

But Red Lotus Fairy Qin Qing, with a smile as bright as a flower, quickly arranged everything, and generally satisfied most of the monks. Since everyone had something to gain, many of his fellow disciples were full of praise.

Liu Yu is also relatively satisfied with his arrangements. His "patrol range" includes several bustling streets.

"Being able to be assigned such a good location probably comes from the reputation of the elders and disciples."

"The Li family has a lot of say in the team that is traveling to the Yan Kingdom."

If Liu Yudong watched fire, he knew exactly why he was able to get fat.

The Yuanyang Sect monks quickly divided the "patrol range", and he took Jiang Qiushui and Yan Kai to the assigned positions and began the patrol trip.

"Senior Brother Liu, if we encounter a monk who is bold and takes advantage of the situation, how should we deal with it?"

"Do I need to warn him first? Or should I kill him directly?"

Thinking of the possibility of fighting with other monks at any time and being attacked by the monks of Baiyun Temple at any time, Jiang Qiushui felt anxious and asked Liu Yu in a low voice.

As she spoke, she moved closer, as if she could find some sense of security in this way.

Yan Kai was not surprised by this, as if he had no idea at all. He had long noticed that the relationship between Jiang Qiushui and Liu Yu was unusual, so he naturally would not ruin the atmosphere at this time.

"That's right, just do it directly!"

"First kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and frighten the monks in the ancient city."

"At this time, some truths do not make sense. Only by showing strong strength can these monks be clear-headed and obedient."

"In this way, we can also increase our spiritual stone income."

Liu Yu's face remained as usual, and her tone was as calm as ever.

But the two people who heard the words felt a deep chill from these words.

"I'm just going to follow my senior brother's lead!"

"Whatever Senior Brother Yan Guozhi says here, I will do it."

Yan Kai knew that he was weak and it was too dangerous to act alone, so he had already made up his mind to rely on Liu Yu, and immediately made a vow.

The same goes for Jiang Qiu Shui, who only said that it all depends on his orders.

"Why are you so polite? Liu will naturally not forget Junior Sister Jiang and Junior Brother Yan."

"With the benefits, your share will never be missing."

Liu Yu responded with a smile on his face, and immediately made a promise, almost swearing to God.

But only you know how true or false these guarantees and oaths are.

As they spoke, the three of them walked quickly, two or three feet at a time, and soon they were close to the "patrol range".

Since the spiritual pressure has not been restrained, other monks can sense the cultivation level, so naturally no monks who are short-sighted will collide with him.

The cultivation level in the foundation building stage can already travel everywhere in today's world of immortal cultivation.

…

"ding ding" "bang"

Seven monks with ugly faces and ferocious faces, who were in the middle and late stages of Qi refining, were using magic weapons, releasing spells, or commanding spiritual beasts to attack a small shop selling elixirs.

They had evil smiles on their faces, and their eyes were full of greed and obscenity.

As for the elixir shop, which could only rely on the power of the formation to support itself, it was about to be breached. Several female cultivators inside had frightened faces.

There were many monks in the nearby shops and in every corner of the street, no less than a hundred in number, but they chose to watch with cold eyes, and some were even gloating about the misfortune.

Liu Yu and the others had just approached the designated patrol range when they saw such a scene.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, Jiang Qiushui frowned and was about to take action, but Liu Yu waved her hand to stop him.

Such a good opportunity to harvest fuel cannot be let go in vain!

Liu Yu moved his palms, and the Qingyang Demonic Fire emerged from his palms. Then he put his palms to his mouth and blew gently, and wisps of flames rushed towards the seven ferocious-looking monks.

The wisps of flames looked extremely fragile, as if they were about to go out at any moment.

But after half a breath, all the flames suddenly swelled up and turned into blue fireballs the size of goose eggs, carrying a dangerous aura.

"Several seniors..."

Before one of the monks finished speaking, he saw Liu Yu take action. The power of the green fireball made him change his face, and he hurriedly activated his magic weapon to stop it.

But all the efforts are in vain.

From the moment they entered Liu Yu's sight, they could no longer escape the fate of being turned into fuel, unless a miracle happened.

"Uh-huh"

Under the ferocious power of the Qingyang Demonic Fire, all the magical weapons they took out were turned into scrap metal, and then the demonic fire was thrown on their bodies. They only had time to let out a short scream before it stopped abruptly.

Even its spirit beasts were no exception, and all turned into a ball of black ashes.

"Junior sister Jiang, these monks' storage bags will be handed over to you for safekeeping first, and we will distribute them later."

"is that OK?"

Liu Yu said lightly, and the last sentence was addressed to Yan Kai.

"Senior Brother Liu's arrangement is very reasonable. I have no objection."

Yan Kai nodded, his attitude was very correct.

While talking, Jiang Qiushui had already put away the storage bag.

Neither of them felt that the Qingyang Demonic Fire was cruel or bloody. The methods of the monks practicing demonic techniques in the sect were much more bloody and cruel than this.

They even detained the prototypes of monks' souls and refined them into ghosts to use against the enemy.

In comparison, Liu Yu's Qingyang Demonic Fire seemed much more normal.

"Thank you for your help, senior!"

A woman, a girl, and two female monks came out to salute and thank them.

But at this time, Liu Yu and the others had already turned around and left, continuing to patrol their area.

The elixir shop is very small, and its owner's cultivation level is not high. From these two points of view, there is not much profit to be made, and it is not worth going to war.

As for the inheritance of alchemy, there is basically no need to think about it. Even if there is an inheritance, it will probably only last until the Qi refining stage, and will be of no use to Liu Yu at all.

So he turned and left without any hesitation.

There are only a few monks who take advantage of the situation to rob, kill, and loot, but considering the tens of thousands of monks in the ancient city, such monks are not that few.

Basically, every time Liu Yu and the others walked a certain distance, they would encounter some such monks, and without exception, they all turned into the fuel of the Qingyang Demonic Fire, causing the power of the Demonic Fire to slowly grow.

Along the way, half a hundred monks turned into fuel for the demonic fire.

The three of them "patrolled" all the way, solemnly announcing to all the monks that Guque City had been taken over by the Chu State, and all monks in the city must abide by the new order.

Liu Yu did not have that much energy or interest to distinguish who was at fault on both sides of the fight, and who caused the chaos.

But as long as they encountered monks who were fighting or causing chaos, they would all be killed. The efficiency of the "patrol" was surprisingly high.

In just about two-quarters of an hour, all but the busiest streets were patrolled.

In addition to the gains from killing monks who created chaos, burned, killed, and looted, there were also many "sensible" shop owners who also offered a lot of benefits in an attempt to get closer to each other.

Because the current shop is purchased or rented from Baiyunguan, but when it comes to the new owner of Gucheng City, the previous contract may not be valid.

Therefore, many shop owners and shopkeepers have begun to think about getting closer to Liu Yu and testing the attitude of the Chu monks.

Even if the old spiritual stone was wasted, it would be better to buy it again, right?

No matter what, life has to be lived, after all, many monks among them have their roots here.

Of course, Liu Yu accepted all the benefits that came to his doorstep and accepted them all with a smile.

After walking around in this big circle, the harvest is very impressive. When the various incomes are added up, it is converted into spiritual stones, which is as much as eight or nine thousand yuan.
