My Optimized Immortal Life

Although Chen Qing had not seen it with his own eyes, even if the passerby's description was a bit exaggerated, the actual situation might be much different.

After all, he is a cultivator in the late Jindan stage. Whether in cultivation, methods, or knowledge, he is far superior to Chen Qing. No matter how you estimate him, it is not an exaggeration until he reaches that level.

Chen Qing thought to himself.

The lower-level monks of the Sanhe Gang were also talking and arguing.

This is a great cultivator in the late Jindan stage, and also the leader of a sect. Such a big figure is simply out of reach for small cultivators like them. But when they think that he will appear in Wanren City, which they are very familiar with, they feel a sense of excitement.

Many gang members have the idea of ​​going to Wanren City to take a look, but they also know that relying solely on their own cultivation, even if they are lucky enough to pass through the monsters that are everywhere there, they may still be affected by the aftermath of the battle.

Thinking of this, some gang members turned their attention to the back mountain.

I'm afraid that only a great cultivator like Jiang Gongsheng is qualified to visit Wanren City.

Building the foundation...

The scene of that day reappeared before everyone's eyes.

In the dark cloud as dark as ink, Chen Qing was standing on a giant snake and holding a giant lizard in his hand, looking very arrogant.

……

Within the territory of Song State, due to the invasion of demons, the area originally divided by the four major sects has now shrunk by half, and the Lieyang Sect is the worst off among the four sects.

Originally, the headquarters of the Lieyang Sect was in the western region of the Song State. It controlled more than a dozen spiritual veins, including a large spiritual vein that was better than the one in Wanren City. It was the location of its mountain gate.

However, due to the conflict between the two sects of the Demonic Path, the Lieyang Sect had to give up its mountain gate, and the entire sect was forced to relocate to the Eastern Region, which they were familiar with but not well-informed about. In the remote area close to Wanren City, there were only a few medium-sized spiritual veins, which could barely support the cultivation of the disciples.

For this reason, all the elders and leaders in Lieyang Sect were distressed.

At this time, in Lieyang Sect.

In the sect hall, all the top leaders of the Lieyang Sect have gathered here.

On the high seat in the center, a middle-aged man with gray hair, sharp eyes and starry eyebrows was sitting there with a calm expression.

He is none other than the leader of the Lieyang Sect, True Man Chiyan.

Below, several elders were arguing with each other with red faces.

"The Sect Master is the pillar of the sect, how can he personally take the field? Our Lieyang Sect has been passed down for over 600 years, and there are many cultivators in the late Jindan stage. If nothing else, if I use all my strength, I can also kill the purple-winged Qinglinpeng occupying the city."

An old man with white hair and beard but red brows spoke loudly.

Hearing this, another elder couldn't help but laugh.

"Hongmei, if it were fifty years ago, a half-step fourth-level monster would naturally not be your opponent, but now it's hard to say."

"Indeed, Elder Hongmei's strength is among the best in the entire sect. However, he is getting older now. Even with the nourishment of his mana, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to compete with a great demon who has reached the half-step fourth level."

An elder standing opposite Elder Hongmei echoed.

Seeing these two people bullying her like this, Hongmei's face darkened and she said in a deep voice.

"What you two said is certainly not without reason, but if I hadn't taken action, how would our Lieyang Sect have been able to enter Wanren City?"

After Hongmei finished speaking, the two elders couldn't help but fall silent. After a moment, one of them slowly spoke.

"In my opinion, since Wanren City has been captured by the monsters, it would be better to mobilize all the members of the sect to attack together and repel the monsters."

Before he could finish his words, he heard Hongmei sneer.

"What nonsense! Thousands of cultivators from the Lieyang Sect are fighting for a city. Even if they can finally repel the monsters, who knows how many disciples will die. Moreover, Wanren City was built by four sects together. Just because they repelled the monster tide, they think they can take it over. How ridiculous!"

"you!"

The two elders were ridiculed by Hongmei and immediately wanted to fight back, but after holding it in for a long time, they couldn't say a word.

When Hongmei saw this, the look of contempt on her face became even more intense.

"Alright, please take a break, three elders."

At this moment, True Man Chi Yan, who was sitting on the high seat, finally spoke.

Upon hearing this, Hongmei and the other two elders immediately turned their gaze towards True Man Chiyan who was standing on the high seat.

I only heard True Man Chi Yan speak slowly.

"My Lieyang Sect has just arrived in the Eastern Region and has not yet had in-depth contact with various forces. Therefore, we should keep a low profile. However, the matter of Wanren City is also a rare opportunity. I am afraid that we are not capable of handling it with the strength of one sect alone. Therefore, it is most appropriate for me to take action."

After he finished speaking, everyone knew that True Man Chi Yan had made up his mind, and the situation was indeed as he said.

For now, this is all we can do.

True Man Chi Yan also sighed inwardly. If there were other methods, he would not want to directly fight against a half-step fourth-level monster. However, the Lieyang Sect had begun to decline since the invasion of the demons. If he did not think of a way, he was afraid that the sect would decline.

As the leader of a sect, he must stand up at this time.

Thinking of this, True Man Chi Yan couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

They were naturally the first to learn about the news that Wanren City was besieged by a tide of beasts, but considering that Wanren City was protected by a third-level formation and there was also Liu Jianyi, a swordsman in the middle stage of the Jindan realm, they did not consider sending reinforcements.

After all, I have just arrived, and if I act rashly, it might arouse suspicion.

But the subsequent development of the situation caught them off guard.

The first thing that came to mind was the news that Wanren City had been broken. As the leader of a Jindan sect, True Man Chiyan was naturally knowledgeable, but this also made him even more confused.

The formation set up in Wanren City is a top-grade third-order Heavenly Fire Demon-Suppressing Mysterious Evil Formation. This formation was deduced by a formation master to resist monsters. With this formation, even a monster that is half a step away from the fourth order will have its strength suppressed. With the addition of Liu Jianyi, the possibility of Wanren City being breached is extremely low.

So, is there another force acting in secret?

As True Man Chi Yan thought about it, he felt the situation became more and more difficult.

The big monster on the surface is not scary, even if it has reached half a step to the fourth level of cultivation, but it has not reached the fourth level and has not undergone transformation, so it cannot compete with the cultivators of the same level.

He just needs to be more careful about the mastermind behind the scenes, as he doesn't want to fall into this trap by accident.

Thinking of this, he stopped thinking and spoke.

"The journey to Wanren City is full of uncertainties. It would be inappropriate for me to go alone. Elder Hongmei and Elder Yanlin, please stay in the dark and accompany me."

There are a total of five cultivators in the late Jindan stage in the entire Lieyang Sect, Hongmei and Yanlin are two of them. With three cultivators in the late Jindan stage, they can defeat even a cultivator in the Yuanying stage or a fourth-order monster with one or two moves.

With this backing, True Man Chi Yan was confident that even if he couldn't gain any advantage this time, he could still find some benefits from the Tianyuan Sect.
