Chapter 1683
Escape
"boom!"
A deafening explosion rang out, and with thousands of cultivators attacking simultaneously, the light barrier that had claimed the lives of many cultivators finally shattered!
The enormous light screen transformed into countless specks of light, raining down on all sides, but then completely dissipated in mid-air.
This seemingly beautiful scene was, not long ago, a dangerous situation that terrified all cultivators.
"Run away!"
It's unclear which cultivator shouted this, but all the cultivators reacted instantly, fleeing towards the outside of the immortal city at their fastest speed.
Only a small number of cultivators did not flee out of the city, but instead rushed back into the city; most of them owned businesses in the Immortal City.
Similarly, a very small number of cultivators harbored ill intentions and planned to take advantage of the chaos in the immortal city to steal spiritual items.
The incident happened suddenly, and with a life-or-death crisis looming, everyone was focused on how to survive, so although it was dangerous, there was no chaos.
Now that the danger has been averted, the greed in the hearts of some cultivators has erupted.
Li Zhirui certainly wouldn't be like these cultivators, thinking about acquiring spiritual items; after all, he wasn't safe at the moment!
As the one who led and organized the cultivators to fight back, that Golden Immortal monster must have hated him to the bone, since it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he ruined its scheme.
Moreover, his background as an extraterrestrial being might have already revealed some clues, arousing the suspicion of that Golden Immortal cultivator.
However, he was currently focused on dealing with the monster, which was why he hadn't done anything to Li Zhirui.
But once the battle is over, they might very well take action against him.
In other words, both of these Golden Immortals have their eyes on him!
In this situation, this is his only chance to escape; if he doesn't leave now, he might not be able to leave at all.
Therefore, Li Zhirui did not hesitate at all and immediately flew towards the outside world at top speed.
A flash of emerald green light appeared in everyone's sight and disappeared instantly.
His departure immediately caught the attention of the two Golden Immortals, but unfortunately, neither of them could stop him and could only watch him leave.
"You are lucky enough to have escaped this calamity, but next time, things may not be so simple!"
Knowing that it was no match for the Golden Immortal monster, and that continuing the fight would only result in it suffering losses, the monster simply uttered a harsh word to the cultivators before leaving the battlefield and disappearing into thin air!
"Ok?"
Upon witnessing this, Yunlong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his expression turning serious. He thought to himself, 'Does the opponent possess spatial techniques?'
But the next moment, he secretly rejected this guess, because if the other party really had mastered the spatial technique, it was impossible that he would not have used it at all during the previous battle.
'Then it must be some kind of spatial spirit?'
Yunlong couldn't figure out the answer in the short term, so he could only remember these details and make a plan after returning to the mountain gate.
In addition, he also thought of the Xuanxian cultivator who was the first to step forward!
Although there was a light barrier blocking his view, he still sensed something was amiss from the aura emanating from this person.
That's not the aura of the Myriad Profound Realms!
The other party is very likely the extraterrestrial beings that previously invaded the Myriad Profound Realms but have never been found.
Many cultivators thought he was hiding in some secluded, dark place, afraid to show his face. But who would have thought that he was openly and openly in the outside world?
Moreover, in this situation, the Immortal Alliance spent a lot of time and energy, but still couldn't find any clues about the other party.
For a moment, Yunlong didn't know whether this person was incredibly audacious and skillful, or whether the Immortal Alliance cultivators were simply too stupid.
Unfortunately, when he realized the other party's identity, the person reacted extremely quickly and fled the place in an instant. In addition, he had to concentrate his efforts on dealing with the monster and was unable to stop him.
As a result, he can't find the whereabouts of that extraterrestrial being at all, and doesn't even have a clue.
boom--
The next instant, as Yunlong regained his senses, a powerful Golden Immortal aura erupted, enveloping the few cultivators who couldn't see the situation clearly and were blinded by greed, and directly suppressing them.
"Imprison them and reduce them to slavery!"
With just one sentence, their future fate was sealed.
It can only be said that these cultivators were extremely foolish to do such a thing.
Those cultivators who hadn't yet escaped felt a sense of relief, but also a slight chill ran through them. They were glad they hadn't made a move, or they would have ended up in the same situation.
"Take stock of the losses to the Immortal City; identify the deceased cultivators and prepare appropriate compensation."
The fall of the Immortal City and the resulting deaths of many cultivators would greatly damage the reputation of the Pure Pure Sect, so he had to do everything he could to make amends.
However, the biggest impact will be that some cultivators will feel unsafe and thus leave the territory of the Pure Land Sect.
This may not be the biggest blow to the Pure Land School, but it is definitely the most profound!
Because its influence is likely to persist for decades, or even centuries.
However, this matter is of great importance and cannot be decided by him alone; it can only be resolved with the help of the sect.
Yunlong's mind was in turmoil, but he showed no reaction to the tragic fate of those cultivators. He simply said in a calm tone, "Until the academy's headmaster arrives, I will be in charge of Tianshi Immortal City!"
really!
Everyone suddenly understood.
The previous news that the Qingjing Sect would send a Golden Immortal to establish a Taoist temple was false; the real head of the temple was only a Mystic Immortal.
Prior to this, the Pure Land School had already discovered some information and clues, which is why they spread rumors.
The purpose of spreading this message was to warn certain malicious beings and forces not to take action against Tian Shi Immortal City.
Unfortunately, the other party completely disregarded the warning from the Pure Land School and did not change their original mind.
With a powerful Golden Immortal presiding over it, the safety of Tian Shi Immortal City is beyond doubt, but cultivators are still constantly leaving.
Moreover, as they traveled to other markets and immortal cities, they carried this news with them, allowing more and more cultivators to learn about the situation in Tian Shi Immortal City, which quickly caused a wave of panic and unease.
This situation is even more serious among lower-level cultivators!
After all, if an attack on the Immortal City were to actually occur, given their strength, they would definitely be among the first to suffer, and would have no ability to protect themselves.
As a result, a large number of low-level cultivators left various parts of the Pure Land sect.
Moreover, the situation escalated and soon spread to all the immortal cities and markets.
Faced with the panic and anxiety of the masses, the Pure Land School's response was very simple and brutal: to demonstrate its strength!
To this end, the Qingjing Sect even specially invited a Taiyi Golden Immortal to appear, using his immense power to crush all dangers. This method of the Qingjing Sect did have some effect, stopping many cultivators from leaving. However, the large number of cultivators who had already left are now difficult to recover. They can only wait and use other methods to attract cultivators from all over the world, slowly restoring the sect's former prosperity.
And this is not something that can be seen in a short period of time.
If things continue to develop this way, the matter will be forgotten over time, and the Pure Land School will gradually recover.
But just when things were starting to look up, another accident happened!
Another monster of unknown origin attacked the immortal city within the territory of the Qingjing Sect. Moreover, this time, it did not only attack one immortal city, but launched an attack on several places at the same time!
Faced with these sudden and powerful monsters, many cultivators were no match for them. Moreover, their appearance was so sudden that they were impossible to guard against and their defenses were easily breached.
"Help!"
"Help me, I don't want to die!"
The cultivators living there encountered an extremely terrifying danger. Many of the weaker cultivators could not withstand it for long, so they all asked other cultivators for help.
But at this point, everyone is struggling to survive, so how can they possibly lend a helping hand to others?
Now, all they can do is either follow Li Zhirui and the others and work together to break the secret technique that is trapping them, or struggle on and wait for the Qingjing Sect to send people to their rescue.
This time, however, the Pure Land Sect did not receive any prior notice, so it was unable to send Golden Immortals to organize the operation in advance, unlike the Heavenly Stone Immortal City.
Although they received the news shortly after the incident broke out and rushed to the scene as quickly as possible to prevent the situation from escalating further.
But it was still too slow!
By the time they arrived, the monsters had completely breached the immortal city and slaughtered all the cultivators living inside, leaving no survivors!
Such serious and important news could not possibly be concealed.
So, within just a few hours, news of the monsters' rampage through the market and the immortal city spread throughout the territory of the Qingjing Sect!
A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.
This attack caused many cultivators to flee, afraid to stay any longer, lest monsters suddenly appear in their area.
at the same time.
Inside the Qingjing Sect's mountain gate.
With a bang, everything on the table jumped.
Seated at the head of the table, the sect leader, his expression as gloomy as the sky before a hurricane, roared, "What exactly is going on? Can someone tell me? Why are those monsters coming to Lichou Prefecture to target us?"
The hall was completely silent; no cultivator dared to step forward and answer at this moment, as they themselves only had a superficial understanding of the matter.
The sect leader knew that his request was a bit excessive, since everyone had been staying in the sect recently and had only just found out, so he did not ask them any further questions.
"What should we do next? Will those damned monsters strike again and launch another attack?" he asked a very serious question.
That is, if these monsters attack again, how should they respond in order to minimize the losses?
At the same time, they also need a resounding victory to prove themselves and the Pure Land School, only in this way can it continue.
Otherwise, even if the Pure Land School itself had not been attacked, it would have gradually declined due to successive defeats, the casualties of a large number of cultivators, and other reasons.
Not only would it cause a great loss of face, but more importantly, it would leave other cultivators with a dangerous impression, making them even more reluctant to come.
"The enemy is in the shadows, we are in the light!"
An elder said, "We must be on guard to prevent this from happening again. We can arrange for a large number of disciples to be stationed in various markets and immortal cities."
"I think we can try to lure them out and then wipe them all out in one fell swoop, so we won't have to worry about this problem anymore."
……
After heated discussion, the first suggestion was ultimately chosen.
There was no other way; the Qingjing Sect could not afford any more setbacks. They had to ensure absolute safety, and even if this method was extremely costly, they had no other choice.
"Everyone must be careful!" the sect leader concluded.
As for the markets and immortal cities destroyed in the second destruction, and the cultivators who perished, there's not much to discuss.
Because there is nothing left, nothing exists anymore!
Before long, countless spiritual lights flew out from the Qingjing Sect's mountain gate, heading towards various markets and immortal cities.
But what they didn't know was that deep underground, not far from their own mountain gate, was hiding the monster that made them grit their teeth and caused all of this.
No one would have guessed that they would be so audacious as to hide here.
"They've taken the bait and sent out a large number of cultivators to guard the area. However, the strength inside the mountain gate is still formidable, so it's best not to attempt an attack. In any case, we've already achieved our objective, so let's leave as soon as possible."
A being shrouded in black robes said in a deep voice, "No matter what, the Qingjing Sect is a first-rate force with Taiyi Golden Immortals. It is not an existence that we can provoke."
"Yes, we have already exceeded our mission objectives. There is no need to add anything unnecessary or cause further trouble."
The other creatures nodded in agreement; none of them insisted on being different.
The reason these mysterious beings are targeting the Qingjing Sect is simple: their recent development has been too rapid and too successful.
They not only gave birth to a Taiyi Golden Immortal, but also discovered the Xuanxian Realm secret realm, which can be described as a great harvest.
Under these circumstances, other forces in the surrounding area naturally did not want to see the Pure Land Sect grow stronger, so they joined forces, disguised themselves as monsters, and wreaked havoc throughout Lichou Prefecture.
Then, the group seemed to merge into the earth and disappear without a trace.
……
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
Meanwhile, in a secluded corner of the Myriad Realms, where no one paid any attention.
A figure slowly emerged from the forest; it was none other than Li Zhirui!
After he appeared, he looked around and then randomly chose a direction and flew away quickly.
But his expression was quite unpleasant.
The reason is simple: he was being followed!
Li Zhirui's biggest worry was being tracked by that Golden Immortal Realm monster, but on second thought, he felt it was unlikely.
If it really is that Golden Immortal monster, then the other party doesn't need to hide at all; they can just attack it directly.
Therefore, it's highly likely that a being of similar strength to him has its eye on him! (End of Chapter)
