It’s just cultivating immortality, who isn’t a favorite of heaven?

This time, it seemed that the monsters did not want to drag it out any longer and tried to break through the Bluestone City in one fell swoop by fighting in a round-robin manner.

Originally, extremely strong defensive formations were arranged at the gates of Qingshi City, and many monks were arranged to guard them in shifts. These monsters in the Qi training stage could not break through the defenses of Qingshi City at all.

However, two Foundation Establishment Stage monsters suddenly appeared in the monster camp. They evaded the layers of defense of the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators and quietly came to one of the formation centers in the outer city of Qingshi City.

This place is located near the center and was originally considered a relatively safe place among the array's eyes.

The monks' side is short of manpower, and the monks guarding here are the weakest teams among all the monks in the formation.

After the two monsters sneaked here, they suddenly launched an attack, leaving the cultivators no chance to react at all.

By the time the foundation-building monks left behind in the city reacted, those teams had been completely wiped out, and the center of the formation had been destroyed by the two monsters' self-detonation.

Once a key point in the formation was broken, the balance of the defensive formation was instantly shattered.

Seeing this, the monsters at the other centers of the formation attacked the other centers of the formation desperately.

"East Third Gate Lost!!! Everyone Evacuate Immediately!"

With the loud shout of a foundation-building cultivator, a gate of Qingshi City was declared lost.

The monks guarding that city gate retreated to other gates.

With this opening, the monsters' offensive became more and more fierce. Within just two hours, all the gates of the outer city were breached by the monsters' suicidal attacks, and everyone had no choice but to retreat to the inner city.

The Jindan cultivators were all fighting against monsters in the same Jindan stage, and the foundation-building cultivators also had their own opponents, so they had no one to come to support them at this moment.

In the inner city, everyone held out for a whole day and night. After the foundation-building cultivators in the city sent messages one after another, they finally waited for the people to come back to support them.

But at this time, Qingshi City was already riddled with holes. The outer city was completely lost, and the inner city was also in danger under the fierce attack of monsters.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

This was the only sentence Cheng Shuyan could think of.

The originally impregnable Qingshi City fell in such a short time simply because a formation in the outer city was breached.

The Jindan cultivators seemed to be entangled and had not returned until now. Only a few foundation-building cultivators were left in the city.

At this moment, several people gathered in the City Lord's Mansion to discuss their next plans.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, you have the highest cultivation level here, and you're from the City Lord's Mansion. So, give me your opinion. Should we continue to defend?"

A pockmarked monk loudly asked the foundation-building monk in the City Lord's Mansion.

The person he named was named Wu Wen, a subordinate of Master Wen Su. At this moment, he was sitting at the top with a tired look on his face, and could only remain silent in response to this person's questions.

Someone started the conversation, and the rest of the people started asking questions to Wu Wen.

After all, among all the people present, Wu Wen's identity is the most suitable to take the blame. No matter what decision he makes, if the final result is unsatisfactory, the only one who will be held accountable will be him, the person who gave the order.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Wu, the seniors haven't appeared yet, and no news has been sent back. I'm sure they won't be back for a while. We can't defend Qingshi City by ourselves."

"Fellow Daoist Wu, we can't defend this city even if we risk our lives! You better make a decision quickly."

Being roasted over the fire by these people, Wu Wen rubbed his eyebrows, his brows full of confusion.

He naturally understood what everyone was thinking. They just wanted him to order a retreat and take the blame for the fall of Qingshi City.

But Qingshi City is his home, and there are so many people in the city fighting for Qingshi City, fighting for the first line of defense of the world of immortal cultivation.

These people in front of me are only thinking about how to protect themselves. Now that they have not completely lost, they are starting to think about retreating.

He was very dissatisfied with these people, but at this time, these were the people with the highest cultivation in the city. If it really came to the last moment, these people would be needed to cover the retreat of others.

He had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart and patiently explained:

"Fellow Daoists, with our current strength, we can hold out for two days without any problem. Let's hold out for another day. If the seniors still don't hear from us after a day, we will retreat. What do you think?"

It seemed that he was asking for everyone's opinions, but in fact his tone was firm and did not allow anyone to question him.

After hearing this, although they were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to nod in agreement.

……

Outside the city, in the Yaoyue Mountains, Qiao Muyun and Chu Yi sat in front of a simple table and sipped tea.

Chu Yi was dressed in red, leaning casually on a bamboo chair, looking calm.

"Fellow Daoist Qiao, I didn't expect that you would get involved in the beast tide.

The situation is now too dire. I'm sure you're aware of our clan's resolve this time. If you're sensible, Fellow Daoist Qiao should persuade the Jindan cultivators on your side to retreat quickly."

Qiao Muyun picked up the teacup gracefully, took a sip, and then looked at Chu Yi.

"Fellow Daoist Chu must also know that I have invested quite a few spirit stones here.

If you guys breach the entire outer area of ​​Yaoyue Mountain Range, I will lose everything.

For the sake of my family fortune, even if I can't keep it, I have to try. This way I can give an explanation to those old men in the clan, right?"

"Hehe, when did you, Qiao Muyun, care about these few spirit stones?" Chu Yi sneered, his eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a dangerous aura.

"Qiao Muyun, that little girl is so popular right now. You cherish her so much that you let her stay alone in Qingshi City. Aren't you afraid..."

When Qiao Muyun heard this, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, leaving only a look of indifference.

"Chu Yi, if you want her to help you open the Dragon Burial Abyss, I have no objection, but if you dare to harm her life, I will not let you go!"

"Hahaha, Qiao Muyun, if someone didn't know, they would think you were attracted to that little girl!"

……

After guarding Qingshi City for another day and night, there was still no news from the Jindan cultivators, but a few foundation-building cultivators returned to the inner city.

Two gates in the inner city have been breached, and only 60% of the entire inner city of Qingshi City is still in the hands of the monks.

Cheng Shuyan and Tian Yiyi stood on the city wall of the North Second Gate to cover the evacuation of the monks from the North First Gate.

She looked at the many cultivators at the North Gate. Even though the city gate had been lost, they were still fearless and used their flesh and blood to block the monsters' attacking path, buying time for the people behind them to retreat.

She didn't understand why these people were so righteous. To be honest, if it were her, she would definitely protect herself first and only help others when she still had the strength to do so.

Tian Yiyi saw her confusion and laughed freely.

“For others, Qingshi City is just the first line of defense in the world of immortal cultivation.

But for the monks who were born and raised in Qingshi City, Qingshi City is their home.

Those monks who guard each other with their lives have their families behind them and their reasons for having to guard each other.

If one day, Master and Tian Er were behind me, I would use my own flesh and blood to fight for a way for them to escape."
