Chapter 642 - 642: Apprehension (1)
Penglai Immortal City.
As the head of the human sects in the western district of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness, the Tai Hua Sect also received the news from the sea of stars immediately. After knowing that the defense line was about to collapse, its Grand Elder, Hua Yun, who was a Tenth Tribulation Itinerant Immortal, immediately gathered the upper echelons of the sect and announced that the sect was sealed.
Although the main target of the alien Immortal Dao experts in the sea of stars was Gray Stone City, as the saying went, if a fire broke out at the city gate, it would implicate the fish in the net. Their Tai Hua Sect had no resistance against such a powerful alien Immortal Dao faction. Furthermore, the alien Itinerant Immortals would not let go of such an opportunity. They would definitely take advantage of the situation and destroy the human sects.
Therefore, sealing the mountain was the best choice at this time.
Other than the Tai Hua Sect, the other sects also sealed the mountain and activated the sect’s array formation. They also secretly transferred the outstanding disciples in the sect. After all, no one knew if those foreign immortal cultivators would shift their targets to them after dealing with Gray Stone City.
The abnormal movements of the various sects in the Penglai Celestial City quickly attracted the attention of the sects in the other cultivation cities. They sent representatives to investigate, but they did not receive any response. However, a few months later, these sects obtained some news from the frontline battlefield. It was said that the foreign races had been attacking very fiercely on the battlefield recently. It seemed that a large number of strong reinforcements from the foreign races quickly arrived.
Even though they did not know the exact situation, these sects began to make preparations.
Some gossip also spread throughout the cultivation world of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness. It was said that the True Treasure Pavilion was too powerful and had already attracted the attention of the Immortal Dao experts of the foreign races. Before long, the foreign races would send powerful True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals to the lower realm to completely destroy the True Treasure Pavilion.
Although the True Treasure Pavilion did not respond to this, some elders and guest elders received a message from Yue Lingluo, telling them to prepare early. In the future, the cultivation environment in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness might be even worse.
Although they did not say it explicitly, when these words spread, all the cultivators in the cultivation cities under the jurisdiction of the True Treasure Pavilion were in a panic. The usually prosperous scene became deserted in a short month or two. After most cultivators spent their assets to buy enough resources, they left the city and hid in a remote place at the edge of the Black Mist Direlands.
No matter what, the Black Mist Direlands was a place that foreign races were unwilling to step into. Even if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was extremely thin, this was not important compared to their lives.
In the past, when the foreign races formed an alliance to slaughter the humans, many sects did not have time to escape. This time, they received the news in advance. Even if they did not know if it was true, many cultivation families and cultivators were frantically preparing to escape.
The situation in Gray Stone City was slightly better, but it was also becoming more and more deserted. The number of cultivators on the twelve main streets was worse than before. Clearly, many cultivators did not think highly of the True Treasure Pavilion. After all, they were facing foreign True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals this time.
Sword Seal City.
The Body Integration cultivators of the Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, the Flame Race, and other races gathered again. Ever since the rise of the True Treasure Pavilion, their sphere of influence had been suppressed too much over the years. In the end, they could only move around the clan ground. Even the Body Integration Supreme Elder was no exception.
“Is the news that a True Immortal and Heavenly Immortal have descended to the lower realm to destroy the True Treasure Pavilion true?”
The Body Integration elders of the other races looked at the Spirit Race’s Grand Supreme Elder.
The Spirit Race’s Body Integration cultivator stroked his beard and laughed loudly. “The news is true. The Penglai Immortal City personally sent a message asking us to prepare to take over the human faction. Fellow Daoists, don’t miss this opportunity. If we can obtain the resources of the True Treasure Pavilion, it won’t be difficult for us to break through to the Mahayana Realm.”
As soon as he said this, excitement appeared on the faces of the other Body Integration elders.
In the City Lord Manor of Gray Stone City, Yue Lingluo, who was in charge of the affairs of the True Treasure Pavilion, did not care about the changes in the various cultivation cities. She did not have the leisure to manage them. She, Wang Yun, Yu Yan, and the others were waiting anxiously in the pavilion by the lake for Shen Ping to come out of seclusion.
The defense line in the sea of stars was about to collapse. Although they had the Nine Continents Tower as a way out, their husband had not come out of seclusion for a long time. It still made them extremely anxious. After all, the immortal cultivators of the foreign races in the sea of stars were very fast. They would only need a few days to reach Gray Stone City.
If Shen Ping was still in seclusion at that time, it would be too late to retreat. Moreover, even if he retreated to the Nine Continents Tower, the foreign races would sense it.
“What did Senior Lian say?”
Wang Yun, Pei Huoyu, Qiu Ying, Luo Qing, and the other women looked at Yu Yan. Yu Yan was in charge of contacting Lian Xuejin. This was specially instructed by Shen Ping.
In fact, among the many wives and concubines, Yue Lingluo was in charge of external affairs, while Yu Yan and Wang Yun were in charge of internal affairs. They would not interfere with each other.
Yu Yan shook her head and said, “Senior Lian said that Husband should be comprehending an important secret technique. No matter how urgent it is, don’t disturb him.”
Wang Yun could not help but say, “But if the Heavenly Immortals and Golden Immortals of the foreign races come, he will be in danger!”
Luo Qing reminded her, “Sister Yun’er, there’s still the immortal formation. Husband said that this immortal formation can withstand the attacks of Golden Immortals. Moreover, I don’t think the human Golden Immortals at the defense line will ignore it. If they help, this immortal formation can last for a long time.”
Pei Huoyu nodded. “That’s right. Let’s wait patiently. It’s useless to be anxious now.”
Qiu Ying looked at Wang Yun. “All the descendants of my Shen family have returned to the City Lord Manor. We are bound together for good or ill. Even if we really can’t avoid this calamity, it’s our wish to die with him..”
