Chapter 3827 Abandoned Child
Red Mountain Immortal City!

This is an ancient immortal city that has existed for countless years. This immortal city lies across the land like a giant beast lying down, its heavy and abyss-like aura suppressing all directions.

Inside the Immortal City.

Numerous large armies were stationed there.

In one of the immortal abodes, a young man with a face somewhat similar to Qin Xiaoxuan sat cross-legged, looking inward at the Heavenly Dao token in his sea of ​​consciousness, a smile playing on his lips.

"The Heavenly Dao Fortune granted by the Immortal City Dao Stele is somewhat meager, but it is stable and safe. I only hope that this Heavenly Dao Battlefield can last longer, so that I can also obtain more Heavenly Dao Fortune!"

Qin Xiaohe was very satisfied with the current situation. Although he was also a prince of the Immortal Qin Dynasty, he was well aware that the position of crown prince and the lofty position of Heavenly Emperor were out of his reach.

after all.

Both were princes.

Qin Xiaohe's background is far inferior to that of princes like Qin Xiaoxuan.

If someone were to vie for the position of crown prince without authorization, they might face a calamity and die a violent death at any time.

Therefore.

Qin Xiaohe has always had a clear understanding of his own position.

If he hadn't been chosen by Heaven, he wouldn't have even considered stepping into the Heavenly Dao battlefield.

Each family knows its own situation.

Limited qualifications.

It would be extremely fortunate to reach the Immortal Emperor realm in this lifetime; the possibility of breaking through to the Half-Saint realm and attaining immortality is extremely slim.

It was precisely because of Qin Xiaohe's thoughts that, after entering the Heavenly Dao Battlefield, Qin Xiaoxuan directly assigned him to guard the Crimson Mountain Immortal City, which could be considered as out of sight, out of mind.

In this regard.

Qin Xiaohe naturally agreed.

For him, guarding Chishan Immortal City was much safer than going out to fight.

No matter what, the Immortal Qin Dynasty is a top power in the Xuandu Immortal Domain, and normally not many forces would dare to directly send troops to attack it.

In Qin Xiaohe's view, guarding Chishan Immortal City was equivalent to having a stable channel to obtain the blessings of the Heavenly Dao, so how could he refuse?

Battlefield of Heavenly Dao.

Killing other cultivators can bring one the blessings of Heaven; this is the mainstream approach.

However, there is no other way to obtain the blessings of Heaven than through slaughter.

In the ancient immortal realm, in all the immortal states and immortal domains, there are Dao stelae formed by the power of the Heavenly Dao in every ancient immortal city. Whoever can leave a mark on the Dao stelae can have the Dao stelae continuously replenish the creation of the Heavenly Dao.

Although the blessings from Heaven that come in return are few, they are safe enough.

and.

As long as the Heavenly Dao Battlefield lasts long enough, theoretically, the Heavenly Dao's blessings that the Dao Stele can provide are quite considerable.

Safe enough!

Moreover, there is a continuous supply of divine creation!

Qin Xiaohe had no reason to be dissatisfied with this.

"A hundred years' worth of Heavenly Creation!"

"According to the records of the Imperial Dynasty, if a cultivator at the Immortal Emperor realm can break through five digits in the Heavenly Dao's fortune, then there is a high probability that he will be able to obtain a Heavenly Dao opportunity."

Qin Xiaohe's eyes held a hint of anticipation.

Ten thousand points of Heavenly Dao Creation may seem like a lot, but given the situation in Crimson Mountain Immortal City, it would only take a million years at most.

The Heavenly Battlefield has existed for a period of time ranging from three to five million years to tens of millions of years.

Theoretically speaking, as long as one safely guards the Crimson Mountain Immortal City, there is a high probability that one will have the opportunity to obtain a Heavenly Dao opportunity.

but--

Not long after Qin Xiaohe's thought was uttered, a thunderous sound came from the clear sky. Then, the sky suddenly cracked open, and terrifying gales raged endlessly. At the same time, thirteen immortal ships crashed through the void and appeared.

This sudden turn of events caused Qin Xiaohe's expression to change instantly.

"not good!"

With his years of experience, Qin Xiaohe activated the formation of Chishan Immortal City in an instant, and the immortal light of the Great Dao soared into the sky, covering the entire immortal city in a flash.

As the formation rose, his heart also settled down.

Followed by.

Qin Xiaohe immediately sent messages to all sides, and in an instant, the vast Chishan Immortal City was under martial law.

At this moment, a cultivator hurried over and respectfully bowed to Qin Xiaohe: "Your Highness, a mysterious force has appeared. The strength of the opponent is unknown. I believe we should report this to the court immediately, just in case!"

"Immediately inform the Second Prince of this news. Furthermore, without my order, no one is to leave the city!"

Qin Xiaohe gave the order in a deep voice.

In his view, the formation of Chishan Immortal City was extraordinary, a top-tier Immortal Emperor formation that could not be broken without the help of a long-lived immortal.

As long as we stay focused on defending the city and don't venture out, the enemy may not be able to do anything to us.

Once the news reaches the imperial court, the second prince will surely send reinforcements, and the crisis will be resolved.

As for whether Qin Xiaoxuan would send troops, Qin Xiaohe had no worries at all.

Both logically and emotionally.

The other side cannot stand idly by.

after all.

If I were to die here, it would do no good for my second brother; on the contrary, he would be branded as a fratricidal traitor.

Therefore, Qin Xiaohe was naturally not worried about this issue.

As for whether the sudden force was an enemy army, Qin Xiaohe had no doubt whatsoever.

At times like this.

A mysterious force has made a grand appearance around Chishan Immortal City. It's obvious that they have ill intentions.

Upon hearing Qin Xiaohe's order, the cultivator obeyed and withdrew.

……

"Red Mountain Immortal City!"

On the Void Divine Ship, Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the ancient immortal city below, while information about the Crimson Mountain Immortal City appeared in his mind.

According to information gathered from the Xingdao Alliance and the Qixuan Dao Sect, the strength of Chishan Immortal City is not too strong, and the one in charge of guarding the city is Qin Xiaohe, the seventy-third prince of the Immortal Qin Dynasty.

The other party was not outstanding among the princes, and his cultivation was only at the Immortal Emperor realm.

When deciding to take action against the Immortal Qin Dynasty, Shen Changqing already had a target in mind.

Chishan Immortal City.

That's the key to opening the gap.

Even if it means breaking ties with the Immortal Qin Dynasty, killing one of its princes in this battle can boost morale.

As for the current Red Mountain Immortal City's grand formation, which appears unshakeable, Shen Changqing didn't take it seriously at all.

"Pass down the order: attack the city immediately! Leave no one alive in Crimson Mountain Immortal City!"

Shen Changqing spoke slowly, and the instant he finished speaking, he casually threw a punch, causing the sky to collapse and shatter instantly. It was as if the heavens and earth had a shocking gap, and terrifying power poured down from the nine heavens, slamming into the city's protective formation.

"boom!!!"

With a deafening roar, the formation, powerful enough to withstand even a top-tier Immortal Emperor, was instantly reduced to ashes by the force of that punch.

Upon seeing this, Qin Xiaohe's calm expression vanished, replaced by utter horror.

"A demigod—"

He gasped in shock.

This moment.

All of Qin Xiaohe's confidence vanished completely.

If not a demigod!

How could one punch break the formation!
A powerhouse of this caliber is definitely not someone that Chishan Immortal City can handle.

Even though Chishan Immortal City now has a million-strong garrison, Qin Xiaohe believes that they are still no match for a half-saint level expert.

That instant.

What do you mean by holding firm and not coming out!
What, waiting for reinforcements!
All of these were completely forgotten by Qin Xiaohe.

With the invasion of the Half-Saints, staying in Chishan Immortal City would be a dead end; only by breaking out could they have a chance of survival.

Understanding this, Qin Xiaohe's eyes flashed subtly. He then secretly sent a message, and soon a personal guard arrived.

"Your Highness!"

"You shall take my imperial token and issue orders to all the armies, informing them that foreign enemies have invaded and that they shall do their utmost to resist them. Also, tell them that the imperial reinforcements are on their way and will arrive soon."

Anyone who dares to desert in the face of battle will have their entire family, including nine generations of their relatives, executed!

"Your subordinate obeys!"

The guard accepted Qin Xiaohe's token with both hands and then respectfully withdrew.

After the guards left, the coldness on Qin Xiaohe's face disappeared. He looked up at the sky and then quietly left the immortal mansion to lie low.

Once the two sides start fighting, Qin Xiaohe will take this opportunity to leave Chishan Immortal City directly.

From the moment he realized that a half-saint was coming, he had already regarded the cultivators of Red Mountain Immortal City as expendable pawns.

For him, it didn't matter how many other cultivators died, as long as he could survive.

With a half-saint in front of you, it's not easy to escape normally. But if there's a large army blocking your way and confusing the situation, then your chances of leaving will increase significantly.

After all, once war breaks out and the situation becomes chaotic, who would notice a mere prince like myself?

make up one's mind.

Qin Xiaohe naturally kept a low profile.

Moreover, to reassure the other soldiers, his personal guards, who had followed him for many years, became sacrifices at this moment.

……

As Qin Xiaohe left the Immortal Abode, Shen Changqing broke through the great formation, and the cultivators of the twelve peaks of the Seven Profound Dao Sect also completely stormed into the Crimson Mountain Immortal City.

The two sides met face to face and, without exchanging any words, immediately began to kill each other.

In terms of the number of cultivators and powerful figures, the Immortal Qin Dynasty was not much weaker than the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Although Chishan Immortal City is just one of many immortal cities, Qin Xiaohe's status as the seventy-third prince means that the strength of the garrison is naturally not too bad.

In a normal battle, even if the Seven Profound Dao Sect wins, it will pay a heavy price.

But things are different now.

Shen Changqing personally took action, and even the Celestial Emperor was no match for him.

He casually killed some top-tier Immortal Emperors, while others were crippled, leaving their heads for the other Immortal Emperors of the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

In a short period of time, Chishan Immortal City had been completely defeated.

Inside the Immortal City.

Qin Xiaohe was greatly alarmed upon seeing this scene.

"We cannot defeat them by force!"

He was now incredibly grateful that he hadn't considered fighting to the death with the other party, otherwise he would have just lost his life in vain.

Seeing the Immortal Qin Dynasty on one side crumble, Qin Xiaohe immediately left the battlefield and fled towards the outside world.

Now that Chishan Immortal City has suffered a crushing defeat with a significant number of defeated soldiers, Qin Xiaohe is confident that the enemy will not be able to detect his whereabouts.

however--

Just as Qin Xiaohe left Chishan Immortal City, Shen Changqing, who was killing other Immortal Emperors, paused, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"Got you!"

He reached out and grabbed from afar, and the power of the Great Dao's rules suppressed him. Qin Xiaohe felt a terrifying pressure fall on him, making his body feel as if it were stuck in a swamp, unable to move an inch.

Finally, as he watched the descending hand, the seventy-third prince of the Immortal Qin Dynasty showed despair on his face.

"Do not--"
