Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

"Eh?"

"Have you heard? Little Ling King is going to rebel!"

"Which little spirit king?"

"It's the one from West City, His Highness Qi Wei!"

"Ah?...Didn't he just get demoted to West City..."

"That's right. I heard a long time ago that he and the royal family are at odds. I'm afraid they're going to fall out now!"

……

In teahouses, taverns, streets and alleys, everyone was whispering to each other with worried looks on their faces.

Panic spread.

The news spread throughout Daqin like wildfire.

Especially in the west city, people brought their families and horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts to block the roads.

"Go, go, go!"

"When a war breaks out, we will be the first to suffer!"

"How could His Majesty the Spirit King..."

Some people don't believe it, but they can't stop the crowds of people fleeing.

City Lord's Mansion.

Lu Yuguan quickly found Qi Wei.

"What's with the rumors out there?"

His brows furrowed, "Is it Prince Qin's doing?"

Qi Wei stood at the window, looking at the chaotic scene on the street with a calm tone.

"not him."

"it's me."

Lu Yuguan was stunned: "What?"

Zhao Zimo had just walked in and happened to hear this, and was also stunned.

Qi Wei turned around.

"The demon cultivators will come sooner or later."

"It's only a matter of time before I contradict the King of Qin."

He glanced at several people.

"Getting the news out will allow innocent people to leave sooner, so as to avoid being affected."

Lu Yuguan opened his mouth and finally sighed.

"You've thought it through."

at this time.

Li Chonglin came back from outside, exhausted and with a serious expression.

"News has come from the Anti-Qin Alliance," he said in a deep voice, "The King of Qin has mobilized a hundred thousand troops and is heading straight for West City!"

The air solidified instantly.

One hundred thousand troops!

In West City, there are less than 5,000 people who can fight. Could it be that... 20 big men are really going to fight against one old man?

"It came so quickly."

Zhao Zimo said coldly.

Lu Yuguan took a deep breath and his eyes became sharp.

"Why are you panicking?"

"there is always a solution to a problem!"

He walked to the table and pointed his finger at the map of West City.

"Qi Wei, Li Chonglin, you two guard the South Gate!"

Li Zhonglin frowned: "Why me and him?"

Qi Wei raised an eyebrow: "Why? Is Li Shengzi afraid that he and I won't cooperate well?"

Lu Yuguan ignored their bickering: "Zimo, the North Gate is in your hands."

Zhao Zimo nodded: "Okay."

"Sister Xiaoya!"

Zi Xiaoya stood up while holding Xiao Zhima: "Here!"

"You will lead the soldiers to guard the west gate!"

Zi Xiaoya grinned and said, "Don't worry, I guarantee not even a fly can get in!"

Shangguan Qi came over and puffed out his chest: "Well... well, what about me?"

Lu Yuguan looked at him and was silent for a moment.

"Just protect yourself."

Shangguan Qi: “…”

At last.

Lu Yuguan's fingers landed heavily on the east gate.

"I'll guard the East Gate."

As soon as the words fell, the room fell silent.

"no!"

Li Chonglin was the first to object.

The East Gate faces the main official road from the royal capital, which must be the enemy's main attack direction and the most dangerous place!

"Too dangerous!"

Zhao Zimo also frowned: "Yuguan, the East Gate has the greatest pressure. How can you hold on alone?"

Qi Wei's eyes were deep: "Why don't I do it——"

"Stop fighting!"

Lu Yuguan interrupted them.

The aura around him changed, and the pressure of a half-step Nascent Soul was faintly revealed.

"My cultivation level is the highest here, and I also have the Vast Sea Treasure Mirror to maintain it."

"East Gate."

"It has to be me."

Seeing the worried looks in the three people's eyes, Lu Yuguan slowed down his tone.

"Trust me, I can hold on."

*

Three days later.

dawn.

The sky was turning pale on the horizon.

There was dead silence outside the east gate of West City.

Lu Yuguan stood alone in front of the tall city gate tower.

A Yanlong robe rustled in the morning breeze.

Behind him was West City shrouded in a light blue halo, and the power of the Vast Sea Mirror had quietly been activated.

Rumble…

far away.

A rumble like thunder came from the horizon.

It was subtle at first, then grew louder and closer until the ground began to shake.

Immediately afterwards, a black tide spread from the horizon!

Flags like a forest!

Swords and guns are like reeds!

The black armor reflected the rising sunlight, cold and dazzling.

The 100,000 Qin troops, like a silent steel torrent, slowly approached with the power to crush everything.

The sounds of footsteps, horse hooves, and armor clashing... merged into a suffocating wave of sound, hitting the lonely city wall.

【Ding! ——】

[Trigger the main quest of [Bath of Fire Secret Realm]]

[Mission: Defend West City, kill the demon cultivators, and escape from the secret realm!]

The system prompt sounds.

"So... this is the main battlefield of the secret realm?" Lu Yuguan took a deep breath, his eyes sharp.

【Host, come on!】

[When you leave the secret realm, this system has prepared a great gift for you]

The system encouraged thoughtfully.

"Oh?"

Lu Yuguan chuckled, "Looks like we have to be prepared to fight to the death!"

hum...

The trumpets sounded and the drums of war rose to the sky.

The army formation came to an abrupt halt just within an arrow's reach of the city wall, and a murderous atmosphere rose into the sky.

The leading general's pupils sunken, his cold gaze passed across the wilderness and fell on the thin figure in front of the city gate.

"The Spirit King is rebelling!"

"Open the city gates and surrender!"

"Otherwise, when the city is broken, no one will be left alive!"

Lu Yuguan slowly raised his head, without any fear on his face. He patted his robe lightly and took a step forward.

The clear voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by every soldier. "If you want to fight, then fight. Why all the nonsense!?"

The Qin general sneered, "You ignorant child, how arrogant! I'll teach you a lesson about the power of our followers!"

Holy religion?

Lu Yuguan narrowed his eyes.

It seems that these are not ordinary soldiers, but monks who have been transformed by magic and forcibly given cultivation!

"In that case, there's no need to hold back..."

Lu Yuguan took a step forward, and the furnace and cauldron mental method started to operate on its own, and the spiritual energy in his body surged like a tide.

The Qin general waved his hands and shouted: "Attack the city!——"

All of a sudden.

The war drums beat, and the dark army came like a tide!

Lu Yuguan was unhurried, forming seals with his hands. "I haven't exercised for a long time. Let me serve you some appetizers, the Ten Thousand Trees and Thorns—"

boom! ——

With a loud bang, the ground suddenly cracked open, and countless thick thorns broke out of the ground, wrapping around the Qin army like living snakes!

"what!"

"What's this!?"

The soldiers in the front row were caught up by the thorns and thrown into the air, screaming in agony.

The Qin general's expression changed slightly: "Shoot!"

For a moment, arrows rained down like locusts, covering the sky and the sun.

"The beginning of spring breeze!"

As soon as Lu Yuguan finished speaking, his whole body functions suddenly increased, and he shuttled through the rain of arrows like a cunning rabbit!

How can it be! ?

The general's eyes widened.

Even a flying bird could not survive a rain of arrows, let alone a living creature walking on the ground.

But now.

But someone broke his cognition!

Seeing that Lu Yuguan was about to get close, the general hurriedly called on the surrounding soldiers to resist: "Quick...quickly, push forward! Don't let him get close!"

After saying that, several cavalrymen, relying on the blessing of the Holy Pill, rushed forward with guns!

Lu Yuguan did not dodge or evade.

"Hahahaha!"

"Your death is coming, little bastard!"

The general had a ferocious expression and shouted loudly.

However, just as the tip of the gun hit Lu Yuguan's throat, the hardwood armor instantly opened, and the ink-blue armor covered his entire body!

Click——

The iron spears broke one after another!

"This is impossible!!!"

The Qin generals instantly became dispirited.

Lu Yuguan patted his shoulder calmly and said, "Hurry up and let the guys behind me fight. As for you... you are not qualified."
