Immortal Palace Longevity

This battle lasted for three days and three nights.

Even with the vigorous energy of the Jindan cultivators, they felt a little tired, not to mention the Qi Refining cultivators.

Everyone's face was obviously tired, and some even sat on the ground and panted, without any manners.

Looking around, the tower was full of cultivators leaning to the east and west, and many people had deep worries on their faces.

This kind of long-lasting battle was still too intense for the Qi Refining cultivators.

During this period, I am afraid that the mana was exhausted several times.

Retracting his gaze, Liu Yu shook his head slightly.

After three days and three nights, even with his deep mana, plus the continuous use of spirit stones to replenish it during the period, only less than 40% was left.

Although there were no casualties for the time being due to the formation, the future was not very bright.

Without reinforcements, once the Five Elements Rotating Formation was breached, it would definitely be the death of the entire city.

"But with the number of Jindan cultivators from the three sects, it is indeed difficult to get reinforcements to defend such a vast territory."

This thought flashed through Liu Yu's mind.

The two middle-grade spirit stones in his hand were exhausted and turned into powder, so he took out two more and silently practiced the skills to restore his mana.

Although the beast tide has temporarily retreated, it is just a regrouping, and it will come back soon.

The initiative is no longer in the hands of Jin Gecheng, so you must always keep your own state perfect and never be careless.

At this time, Yan Kai came over, saluted and reported:

"Report to the uncle, this battle consumes spirit stones..."

During the special period, this boy spoke very fast, and he described the consumption of this battle in a few words.

After a big battle, the consumption of spirit stones for using special mana such as the demon hunting crossbow and the divine crystal cannon reached as much as 20,000 to 30,000.

Although there is a reason for wanting to rub the sharpness of the demon beasts and using them frequently, it is enough to explain the cost of the war.

There will be more than one such battle in the future!

Only the size of the Yuanying Sect can barely bear it. The general Jindan-level forces may not be able to bear it after two or three times.

This can be seen from the Sima family.

Compared with the three major sects, they are "stingy" when using special magic tools, and dare not let go at all.

Hearing this, Liu Yu frowned slightly.

One battle consumes 20,000 to 30,000 spirit stones. I am afraid that the spirit stones prepared by the sect for the defense of Jinge City will not last long.

Recruiting casual cultivators cost 100,000 spirit stones, and later the sect supported 150,000 spirit stones, but according to the current trend, it will be used up in a few times.

With a thought, he calculated how long the spirit stones could last. Liu Yu frowned and said:

"Since the consumption is so great, then after this time, we will reduce the frequency of using the demon hunting crossbow and the divine crystal cannon to reduce the consumption of spirit stones."

The reason why they were used frequently the first time was to strike the spirit of the monsters and to reduce the pressure on the monks defending the city so that they would have a process of adaptation.

Since they have adapted, there is no need to consume spirit stones as before.

"Yes!"

Yan Kai opened his mouth, but in the end he could only accept the order loudly.

He knew the difficulties of the sect. Although this would put all the pressure on the monks guarding the city, there was no other way.

"Divide the monks in the south city into two groups and take turns to rest. Each rotation interval is six hours."

"Arrange it as soon as possible."

Liu Yu's face returned to calmness and ordered after sweeping away the thousands of monks sitting on the ground on the tower.

Under the cruel jungle law, there are also physical reasons that cause the energy of monsters to be far more vigorous than that of monks. The next round of offensive may come at any time, and we must be on guard at all times.

Therefore, there must be a large number of monks standing guard on the tower at any time and anywhere.

"Disciple understands, there is a plan in this regard, and it will be arranged soon."

Yan Kai nodded.

Most of the casual cultivators can be said to have come here by spending spirit stones "routines". The number of people has been counted in secret. At this time, they only need to count them once and divide them into two groups.

As for unwillingness?

At this time, Jinge City was surrounded by monsters and there was no way out. Most cultivators had only one choice, which was to defend the city.

For all cultivators, it was also the best choice.

"Yes."

"Go."

Liu Yu responded lightly and waved his hand.

"Disciple, I'm leaving."

Yan Kai bowed his hands, his face solemn, and turned and left in a hurry.

From a distance, it can be seen that this person brought several foundation-building deacons and a dozen inner disciples of the sect, quickly awakened the cultivators who were still resting on the ground, and loudly announced the arrangements of Yuanyang Sect.

First, it is to distribute spiritual stones.

In defending the city, it is necessary to frequently consume mana and activate magic tools to release spells.

Relying solely on absorbing the spiritual energy in the air to recover is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket, and it will not work in fierce battles.

What's more, the spiritual energy is chaotic during war, and it is more difficult to absorb and refine.

In this way, it must be supplemented by other means, and directly absorbing the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone is still the "cheapest" one.

Many casual cultivators were still a little resentful when they were interrupted during their rest, but when they saw the colorful spirit stones in front of them, they immediately stopped complaining.

Of course, with the current spirit stone reserves, the amount of spirit stones distributed would definitely not be many.

After the spirit stones were distributed, they began to make arrangements, counting the number of casual cultivators and dividing them into two groups.

After being washed by spiritual energy, the physical fitness of the cultivators has also been greatly improved. Although they look exhausted now, six hours are enough to restore their condition to perfection.

Soon, the tower was filled with people and a noisy scene.

The depressing atmosphere after the war was finally diluted a little.

…

Liu Yu stood alone on the top of the tower with his hands behind his back, letting the sunlight fall on him, his expression slightly relaxed.

After cultivating his "Star True Body" to the scorching sun realm, he liked the feeling of bathing in the sunlight.

It may be because of the long-term absorption of "sun power". When the sunlight is strong, the speed of the physical cultivation mana in the body can be faster.

The faster the mana runs, the stronger it will be.

Therefore, the strength of physical cultivation can be slightly increased when the sunlight is strong.

Similarly, when the light of the stars and the moon is strong, the mana converted into the corresponding attributes can also increase the strength.

However, the increase is much smaller than that of sunlight.

"There is also a gap between the stars?"

"If we follow some theories from the previous life, it may also be because the stars and the moon are far apart, and the starlight and moonlight are relatively thin?"

Looking up at the blue sky and the sun, Liu Yu's eyes flashed with deep thought.

He didn't know what the truth was.

Although cultivators can fly, there are various strong winds above the nine heavens. If they can't break through, they can't see the true face of the sun and the moon.

Even Yuanyang Sect has very little information on this aspect.

Liu Yu searched through the Sutra Library, but only found information about the first six layers of strong winds, but not the last three layers.

It is said that in order to break through the shackles of the nine layers of strong winds and glimpse the truth of the world, one must be a great master in the Refining Void Stage.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Liu Yu retracted his gaze, and his expression became serious again.

His gaze seemed to have passed through mountains and rivers, and saw scenes that ordinary cultivators could not see.

In his consciousness, the monsters were constantly gathering and reorganizing fifty miles away, and the breath of several third-level monster cultivators was looming.

In particular, one of the auras was the most amazing, reaching the level of the third stage, comparable to the late Jindan cultivators, and with the extraordinary bloodline, it was no problem for him to surpass the cultivators of the same stage.

It was the Cold Sky Eagle!

"Before the war began, a message was sent out to leave a picture."

"I wonder if there will be reinforcements in the current situation of the sect?"

This thought suddenly flashed through Liu Yu's mind, and then he shook his head, not holding any hope.

Given the current situation of the three sects, the possibility of reinforcements was extremely small, but he still sent out a message as an attempt.

"In any case, be prepared for the worst."

After thinking for a while, Liu Yu put aside many distracting thoughts, sent a telepathic message to Zhuo Mengzhen, Cang Yun, and Sima Kong, and then turned and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Whether there would be support was not something he could decide in Jin Ge City, and there was no benefit in thinking about it, but it would only add to his troubles.

Before arriving at Jin Ge City, the sect had already prepared a life-saving talisman, which could be used to escape after the city was broken.

After being activated, it can increase its own escape speed by about 40% to 50%.

Compared with ordinary cultivators, as long as he is not targeted by powerful demon cultivators, he has a very high chance of escaping unscathed, and he does not even need to use the "Instant Thousand Miles Talisman".

Because of this, it is even more impossible to stand out.

Soon, in the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Liu Yu met Zhuo Mengzhen and the other two and began to discuss the matter of defending the city in detail.

At the critical moment, Zhuo Mengzhen also temporarily put aside his prejudices, and his hostility was restrained a lot, and he did not continue to oppose him.

Only when they occasionally looked at each other, they still looked at each other coldly.

...

"Bang bang bang"

The roar of magic weapons and spells resounded through the sky, and smoke and dust filled the sky outside Jin Ge City, and dense monsters swept in.

From a distance, countless black shadows gradually buried Jin Ge City again, and the colorful light of the "Five Elements Rotating Formation" occasionally shone through the black shadows.

Eleven hours after the first siege, the monsters could not wait to launch another attack.

Liu Yu's opponent was still the Snow Spirit Leopard.

It seemed that he had lost face in the last round. This time, the leopard's attack was more fierce, and the strength he exerted was slightly stronger.

"Ding Ding" "Roar!"

The pale golden spear lotus bloomed, and the sunset golden rainbow spear was like lightning, sweeping across the four directions with its tyrannical power.

But this time, the Snow Spirit Leopard, who had been prepared for it, took it steadily. For a while, they fought back and forth, but they didn't have the upper hand at all.

"Roar!!!"

After regaining the ground, the Snow Spirit Leopard was immediately very happy. During the fight, he roared and swept away the depression in his heart.

This was of course not because the strength of this leopard suddenly increased a lot, but because Liu Yu secretly held back.

Since he had decided not to show off, it was better to be low-key, as long as he involved a third-level demon cultivator.

If the strength he exerted was too strong, it might attract the attention of many demon cultivators, and the city might be besieged after it was broken.

If the power is too weak, it may be regarded as "prey" by several demon cultivators and suffer the same treatment.

Grasping the right degree and fighting back and forth is undoubtedly the best choice.

The thought of giving up is that the world will be wide in an instant!

Liu Yu felt a lot more relaxed immediately after fulfilling the role of an early Jindan cultivator and not expecting the final result.

Even the mana consumption in the fight was reduced a lot.

He just fulfilled his responsibilities, and he could accept the final result calmly, anyway...

"Boom boom boom!!!"

The overwhelming tide of demon beasts quickly approached Jinge City from all directions, and "Ten Thousand Arrows" were fired from the towers. Thousands of magic weapons and spells fell into the beast tide, and large numbers of demon beasts died on the spot.

But even so, all kinds of monsters and monsters still go forward and fight without fear of death.

Relying on the endless numbers and the powerful defense of the demon body, they still approached the city wall little by little.

The frequency of use of special magic weapons such as the demon-hunting crossbow and the divine crystal cannon decreased, and the pressure on the city-defending monks immediately increased. However, they had no way out and could only grit their teeth and persevere.

However, after the previous battle, the performance of all the monks this time was much better.

Facing this kind of "big scene" war, I unconsciously became much calmer.

Whenever the city-defending monks approach their limit and the beast tide enters a dangerous area, the "Five Elements Rotation Array"'s strongest attack method, the "Five-Colored Hurricane", will be activated, giving the city-defending monks a rare respite.

As the sun rose and set, the demonic beast was more fully prepared this time, and it took four days to retreat.

Even the formation has been shaken several times, causing many monks to worry.

"Uncle Liu, this battle consumes..."

The beast tide temporarily retreated, and Yan Kai quickly calculated the consumption and hurriedly came to report.

After listening, Liu Yu nodded slightly.

This son is becoming more and more familiar with these chores, and he does a good job with the help of his monks.

"At this time, we should not be too simple and rough when dealing with casual cultivators, but should be gentler."

"We must try our best to mobilize these casual practitioners, do a good job in ideological work, and instill some concepts of "fight hard and have a better tomorrow", and never let them fall into despair."

"Once they lose hope, they will become difficult to control and their strength will be greatly affected, which is very detrimental to defending the city."

"Not only casual cultivators, but also sect disciples and vassal cultivators in Qingzhou."

Glancing over the casual cultivators who were slumped on the ground with blank eyes, Liu Yu suddenly frowned, pondered for a while, and gave instructions.

When people live, they always need a little hope, no matter how small that hope is.

"Uncle Master, what do you mean...?!"

Halfway through Yan Kai's words, if he realized something, he stopped and thought for a while before continuing:

"Disciple understands."

"Then immediately arrange a team to take charge of ideological work?"

"Go." Liu Yu nodded gently.

"Yes!" Yan Kai accepted the order suddenly, but a look of struggle flashed in his eyes, but he did not leave directly.

He hesitated and asked:

"Disciple, I dare to ask my uncle, will there really be reinforcements from the sect, Qingxu Sect, and Hehuan Sect?"

"Can this Jin Ge City really be able to hold on?"

Faced with the overwhelming tide of beasts, and the demonic beasts' side's golden elixir-level combat power that surpassed their own, even a peak foundation-building monk like Yan Kai felt confused and uneasy.

Even in the third-level top formation, there is no sense of security at all.

From this we can know what is the situation of the monks in Jinge City from top to bottom.

Liu Yu didn't know how to answer this question because he didn't have an answer either.

It's just that his cultivation level is higher, his strength is stronger, and he is more calm than low-level monks.

Pitch without fear!

“Life always finds its way.”

He pondered for a moment and said something paradoxical and ambiguous.

Liu Yu didn't know where the way out for ordinary monks was, but of course he couldn't tell it directly, so the ambiguous answer was indeed suspected of being mysterious.

Hearing this, Yan Kai was thoughtful, silently bowed his hands and turned around to leave in a hurry.

Orders came from top to bottom, and arrangements were quickly made.

A team of about twenty or thirty people, all composed of beautiful and beautiful cultivators, came into being. They were responsible for the ideological work of all the cultivators.

Spread hope and inspire fighting spirit!

Like some angel in white.

…

After three months,

City Lord's Mansion, Council Hall.

At this time, the hall fell into an eerie silence, like a prelude to the coming storm.

"What do you think of this matter?"

Claiming to be the leader of the four, Taoist Cangyun spoke first.

Just now, several communication talismans broke through the obstacles and reached the hands of the four people.

That was a letter from the three major sects after three months.

The main idea of ​​this letter is that the beast tide is now in full swing, and there are too many urgent places that need to be guarded. The three sects really can't spare the manpower to come for reinforcements.

However, negotiations with other immortal cultivation circles have accelerated, and the alliance has also begun to fully intervene in this matter.

As long as we hold on to Jinge City for five years, reinforcements will inevitably arrive.

"boom!!!"

"snort!"

"Five years, that's easy to say. How do those people know the situation in Jinge City at this time?!"

"Things are urgent elsewhere, so isn't the situation in this city urgent?"

"Other places are important, but Jinge City is not."

Zhuo Mengzhen was the most direct. He suddenly slapped the table and let out a cold snort. The table immediately fell into pieces. He was obviously very dissatisfied with this order.

The silver ring swayed and made a crisp sound in her ears, but no one was in the mood to appreciate it at this time.

"Five years? If this trend continues, it will be a blessing to stick to May."

Sima Yong, who was smiling all over his face, lost his smile at this time. However, he did not dare to speak loudly about the faults of the three major sects. He only dared to mutter in a low voice to vent his dissatisfaction.

Compared to the three of them, Liu Yu's face looked much better and she remained silent without speaking.

He had already decided to "show off". At this time, his mentality was very correct and he didn't have many negative emotions.

Having done his part, whether Jinge City can be defended in the end has little to do with him.

The worst case scenario is to act by ear and be ready to run away at any time.

Anyway, there are many trump cards. As long as they are not besieged by multiple third-level demon cultivators, the risk is not great.

"Perhaps the destruction of Jin Ge City may not be a bad thing for me?"

"If I flee back to the sect after the city is destroyed, I will have more reason to stay in the rear, and the risk will be much smaller immediately."

"Even if I am assigned with dangerous tasks at that time, it will not be my turn, after all, I have been to the front line once."

"On the contrary, if this city has not been destroyed, the risk will be greater?"

"It is too close to the Hengduan Mountains. There may be a fourth-level demon beast passing by one day, or a large number of third-level demon beasts will suddenly appear."

"Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is no reason for me not to give up?"

Liu Yu looked normal, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

However, even so, he only planned to give up, and did not secretly add fuel to the flames and let Jin Ge City be destroyed.

There are countless strange and unique secret techniques in the world of cultivating immortals. As long as you do it, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no traces left and found out.

Once the news is leaked, the entire Seven Nations Alliance and even Tiannan will have no place to stay. The risk is too great.

"So, let's just let it go."

Listening to the discussion of the three people, Liu Yu remained silent, with various thoughts flashing through his mind.
