At that moment, even the clouds in the sky seemed to stop moving.

Then someone knelt down and shouted:

"I want to be the striker!"

"Master Xuan Ge is willing to risk his life, so how can we retreat?!"

"Saint King Xu Konglie is here, swearing to slay the demon!"

"I, Li Junming, will not retreat and will fight to the death!"

"I would rather die than bow my head!!"

One after another, like rolling thunder!

Xuan Ge did not look back, but slowly inserted the red halberd into the bluestone ground under his feet and said in a deep voice:

"I'm not the leader of a sect, nor am I a high-ranking official in a holy land."

"I'm just a... city guard."

"But I know that once I retreat, Luoxing Mansion... will be completely lost."

"So, let me wait together--"

"Blood will spill across the sky, and we will fight to the death!!"

boom! !

This statement came true.

It seemed to have caused a resonance between heaven and earth!

The walls are echoing and the earth is shaking!

The monks lowered their heads with tears in their eyes, their blood boiling, and they no longer feared life or death!

And in this solemn and boiling atmosphere.

Jiang Chen, Feng Qingli and Ling Junze stood there quietly without saying a word.

But they all had the same emotion in their eyes.

Admiration...Shock...

This is the real great sage.

Not only is he strong in his cultivation, he is also stronger in his responsibility!

Before this battle even begins, we are determined to share life and death together!

.........

The next moment, a light screen appeared before the three people's eyes:

[Reminder: Luoyan City Defense Mission: Phase 1 Opens]

[Estimated enemy arrival time: one hour later]

[All challengers please take your positions immediately and prepare to fight]

Looking at the prompt, the three of them looked at each other, and then looked at the tall figure in front of the city.

They all understand:

If the local monks charged forward in this battle while these contestants retreated to the rear, even if they survived, how could they have the face to call themselves monks?

What's more, if you want to reach the top of the mission score, you must kill the enemy, defend the position, and make meritorious deeds yourself!

Thinking of this, Ling Junze suddenly stepped forward, bowed and spoke in a firm tone:

"My Lord City Lord, although my cultivation level is only that of a Saint, I am not afraid of life or death."

"I only wish to stand shoulder to shoulder with all the defenders to defend Luoyan!"

"If you think I'm not strong enough—then why not... let me try!"

As soon as the words fell, the scene was as silent as death.

Many local cultivators were slightly stunned.

They had thought these three were just “chosen queue-jumpers,” but they hadn’t expected one of them to be willing to do just that!

A meaningful light flashed in Feng Qingli's eyes, but Jiang Chen just looked at him quietly without commenting.

Xuan Ge turned around and looked at him in silence for a moment.

His gaze was majestic without anger, like an old god looking down on all living beings.

After a long while, he nodded slowly, and finally a trace of relief appeared on his face:

"It's great that you have such aspirations."

"Unfortunately... a real battlefield can never be entered with just passion and slogans."

"You are a hero among men. I can see that at a glance."

"But if we die in the first wave of the offensive, wouldn't that mean we lose all hope for the future?"

"After this battle, if there's any hope left in the Eastern Region... it will depend on you."

"You will first join the army to defend the second line of defense. Once the battle situation becomes clear, we will make further arrangements."

Obviously, he still didn't want the young monk to die first.

But Ling Junze's expression remained unchanged, and he bowed again:

"Please help me, City Lord!"

"Although Ling is not overestimating his own abilities, he is unwilling to be a spectator who just sits by and watches!"

"Even if I have to use all my strength to stop the enemy for a moment, that is my original wish!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a strange look flashed in the eyes of several Luoyan veterans.

Xuan Ge stared for a long time, and finally shook his head:

"That's all."

He walked down the stairs slowly, and when he was three feet away from Ling Junze, he suddenly shouted:

"Then let me try you myself."

"If you can withstand my casual blow, I will allow you to join the front line."
