Pursuing Longevity With an Immortal Mansion

Chapter 779 Cruel Decision

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

By then, the gathering places for immortal cultivators of all sizes within a radius of 20,000 miles will be reduced to "isolated islands", or will face the situation of being swallowed up by the demon clan.

As for the demon clan, they will not give the Tiannan Immortal Realm a chance to re-establish its core.

With a radius of 20,000 miles, it is almost equivalent to two Qingzhous and half the size of Chu State. It must not be given up easily.

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

Otherwise, if we lose a city today and a place tomorrow, it won’t take long for the demon clan 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 be lost, and there will be a chain reaction like the collapse of dominoes.

By then, the entire Seven Nations Alliance will be helpless.

Because the relationship is so important, Haoyue Immortal City is guarded by three true kings all year round, rotating 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 is envied by many of the garrisoned true kings!

…

Two days later.

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

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

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

The setting sun shone down, falling on sections of city walls and on the face of a monk, and the tragic and chilling aura seemed to fade a bit because of this.

"This city's "Four Elephant Rotating Formation" is both offensive and defensive, and its grade is as high as the fourth-level mid-level. Even if the big demon king comes in person at the late fourth-level, it can still hold on for a while."

"This formation."

A city-defending elder in the late Golden Core stage spoke in detail about the city-defending formation.

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

Mist filled the mountains and fields, 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.

Basking in the setting sun, he listened carefully to the reports of the Jindan monks, but looked at the monks coming and going from all directions in the fairy city.

Night was about to fall, and escaping lights continued to fly in all directions, landing five or six miles away from Haoyue Immortal City, and a monk appeared.

The expressions of these monks are different. Some are happy when they have gained a lot, some are depressed after losing their companions, and some are very cautious.

Most monks have extremely active mana fluctuations.

Apparently they had experienced life-and-death fights not long ago, and some of them had shocking wounds.

They may work in groups, forming large or small groups to complete tasks; or they may be alone for various reasons, traveling alone in the unknown wilderness.

In order to show their strength and intimidate Xiao Xiao, some monks did not even put the corpse of the monster into a storage bag, but carried it on their bodies generously.

But overall, there are obviously more teams than lone wolves.

Under the background of emphasizing "unity", the three major 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.

But if several monks join together, it is possible to make up for their respective shortcomings and take into account attack, defense, movement, etc.

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

On the other hand, when acting alone, although most people who choose this method are confident enough in their own strength, there are countless examples of capsizing in the gutter.

Because even if you are strong, you cannot be without flaws in all aspects.

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

In this case, the monk who acts alone can only try to make up for the deficiencies in all aspects without leaving any obvious shortcomings. One person is equivalent to a team.

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

On the battlefield with huge waves and sand, a single person can survive on the front line for five years. He is already considered an outstanding person at the same level. No matter the potential and strength, he is not comparable to ordinary monks.

Under the huge fairy city, there were several teams lined up at the city gate, and there were only a handful of monks acting alone.

They often carry a biting evil aura, and even if the monk team has the upper hand, they still look at the former with fear in their eyes.

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

Once upon a time, he was one of them.

But since opening the Immortal Mansion, after two or three hundred years of ups and downs, I finally began to have the power to choose.

After the Immortal Mansion was opened, not only Liu Yu's fate changed, but also the fates of the monks he came into contact with also deviated from their original trajectory.

For example, the souls of those who died under his command, such as a famous concubine.

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

"Although I was once one of them, now that you are the True Lord, everything is completely different."

"A true king like me no longer has the patience to listen to the wishes of insignificant ants."

Thinking like this, Liu Yu took back her thoughts.

At this moment, the real person Zhenjun chatting on the city wall formed a sharp contrast with the various low-level monks under the city wall.

Although they are both in the human camp, because they are at different levels, they seem to be 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 Immortal City."

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

"The demon clan's various tribes are too powerful, and the demon beasts are not afraid of death under the drive of the demon cultivators."

"Although its offensive enthusiasm shows a slowly declining trend, the current situation is still very unoptimistic."

"The defensive pressure on the gathering areas within the radiation range of this city is astonishing, and more than half of them have sent messages requesting reinforcements."

"Juniors don't dare to make their own decisions. Please ask senior Mo Mei to take charge of the overall situation."

The person in charge of coordinating all parties in Haoyue Immortal City was a white-haired golden elixir male cultivator who showed his age. He quickly explained the basic information and asked for instructions respectfully.

Although he is the nominal "city lord" and can decide many things, he does not have the right to decide some real major matters, such as sending monks to reinforce various gathering places.

This person is old and has no further potential, so he was sent to the front line by his own force and became a de facto "abandoned son".

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

After the words fell, all the monks' attention was focused on True Lord Mo Mei.

After all, it is this woman's mission to guard Haoyue Immortal City. According to the agreement, Liu Yu and the others only want to protect her safety.

As for other chores, I have no obligation or interest to take care of them.

Originally, in addition to Mo Mei, there were two other true kings who performed this mission together.

However, because of Xuan Binggong's push, Mo Mei inherently distrusted these two people and suspected that they were from "Nangong Tian".

So we just met each other to maintain superficial peace, but didn't actually communicate much.

Relying on the fact that she had four True Lords on her side, she firmly held the control of Haoyue Immortal City in her hands and did not give those two people the chance to decide on important matters.

Facing the powerful Liu Yu and others, the two true monarchs were also very sensible and had no intention of forcibly intervening in the affairs of the fairy city.

"Requesting reinforcements?"

Hearing this, True Lord Mo Mei's eyes flashed, and he immediately lowered his head and pondered, but did not speak immediately.

She looked at the low-level monks coming in and out of the city gate with a faint look, and there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

But this hesitation was eventually replaced by indifference.

After seven or eight breaths, True Lord Mo Mei said calmly:

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

"Without my order, the monks guarding Haoyue City cannot transfer one person to the outside without permission!"

After a brief hesitation, only indifference and calm remained on her face.

Obviously, she has made her decision.

If a low-level person arbitrarily intervenes in a high-level fight, it is almost the same as seeking death, and the impact will be very limited.

But the offense was of no use, but the defense was of some use.

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

Under such circumstances, the more monks guarding the city, the better.

"this"

"Senior Mo Mei, please know that the fighting situation in the major gathering places is stalemate, and the situation has become extremely urgent."

"If reinforcements are not received in time, there will be consequences."

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

But as soon as his thoughts changed, he still had a troubled look on his face.

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

If you don't make it clear, you will bear a large part of the responsibility for the collapse of the gathering place.

Therefore, this person did not have much fluctuation in his heart, but he still behaved like a "loyal veteran".

"Um?"

Before the person could finish speaking, True Lord Mo Mei hummed and directly released part of his Nascent Soul spiritual pressure.

The atmosphere on the city wall instantly became depressing.

"boom!!!"

The powerful spiritual pressure and power came, and the Jindan City Lord trembled, and his voice immediately became quieter until he finally disappeared.

After fulfilling his duty, he just walked down the steps, not really serving the public.

When other Jindan managers saw this scene, how could they not understand what True Lord Mo Mei meant?

Several of the golden elixirs did feel a little bit intolerable in their hearts, but they moved their lips and finally did not dare to speak out to refute.

Such a decision ignores those comrades in various gathering places who are in dire straits.

Many of the monks present instinctively felt that something was wrong.

It is foreseeable that in each gathering place that has not received reinforcements for a long time, under the surging waves of beasts, the final results will be disastrous.

It's just a matter of immortality and nobility.

Although many monks instinctively feel uncomfortable and wrong, after all, the matter has nothing to do with themselves and does not really harm their own interests.

Under the majestic gaze of True Lord Nascent Soul, they still did not force themselves to come forward.

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

Otherwise, on the front line where Zhenjun can decide anything, Mo Mei can immediately legally arrange the death mission.

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

Several Jindan masters were filled with chills in their hearts, but in the face of Mo Mei's unreasonable decision, they unanimously remained silent.

"Back off."

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

How could she not understand that sending elite monks to reinforce the gathering place was indeed the most correct choice and was in line with the great interests of the Tiannan Cultivation World.

It's just that the interests of the Tiannan Immortal World are not equal to Mo Mei's own interests.

She just wants to stay in An'an for fifteen years, no matter what happens, as long as nothing happens to Haoyue Fairy City.

Once the fifteen years are up, he immediately returns to the Danding Sect.

Between Tiannan and herself, Mo Mei has made a choice.

"Junior, please take your leave."

Upon hearing this, several Jindan stewards immediately bowed and left as if they had been granted amnesty.

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 cultivating to the current level, they have at least hundreds of years of experience. They have seen too much filth in this world of immortality, and similar things have long been commonplace.

The hot blood has long since cooled down.

Except for a few exceptions, most true kings only have the obsession to climb the immortal path and pursue the truth in their hearts, and will not be shaken by the so-called "righteousness" at all.

Compared with low-level monks and mortals, the life essence of Nascent Soul Lord is far beyond that.

In addition to their humanoid appearance, their life essences are completely different. They can even be said to be different species.

Depending on the exercises practiced, both the physical body and the mind have undergone many transformations and sublimations, and have gone very far in a certain direction.

In this case, the identification with the concept of "people" may not be very strong.

How could he care about the life and death of low-level monks and mortals?

Moreover, seriously speaking, to the True Lord Yuanying, the physical body is just a shell, and the "Nascent Soul" is the true self.

Even if they abandon their physical bodies, they can still shape their bodies with spiritual objects, and even directly take away monsters with excellent bloodlines, and still continue to practice.

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

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

As true kings, as long as the three of them speak, they may be able to change Mo Mei's decision without paying any price.

But they looked at things from different angles. The lives and deaths of thousands of monks were insignificant in the eyes of the Yuanying monks, and none of the three of them had any intention of speaking.

Even the old monk Kongzhao clasped his hands and looked outside the city, as if he had not heard anything around him.

"The hearts of immortal cultivators contain the corruption of the entire world."

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

He declined to comment on Mo Mei’s decision.

If sacrificing the lives of thousands of monks can help oneself, I believe most Yuanying old monsters will not hesitate.

"Absolute freedom~"

“The world is so cruel, but it’s beautiful because of it.”

With her hands behind her back, Liu Yu was wearing a black robe and looking into the distance.

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

"But I have to take care of the safety of the sect disciples. It doesn't seem good to turn a blind eye."

"After all, the interests of the sect are, to a certain extent, also our own interests."

The thought crossed his mind.

Without any intention of being secretive, Liu Yu immediately raised his hand and sent out a messenger talisman, which turned into a white light and flew into the distance at high speed.
