Chapter 781 The troops are approaching the city

…

Mo Mei chose to strengthen the defense of Immortal City, which indeed had a good effect, but the pressure in the gathering places around Immortal City where cultivators gathered continued to increase.

The demon clan also seemed to be aware of it. They did not directly attack the fairy city, but they stepped up their offensive on the surrounding gathering areas.

So in the next two years, Haoyue Immortal City remained in a state of calm.

"Senior Mo Mei, the situation in Panlong Fortress is critical. The real person stationed there sent a message asking for help. Frankly, he cannot hold on for long."

"There are also dozens of strongholds such as Jinzhufang City and Tongguan. They also sent messages asking for help, strongly requesting reinforcements from Xiancheng."

"Senior Mo Mei will make your decision on the above."

On the city tower, a few people leaned on the railing and watched from afar. The old-looking Lord Jindan reported respectfully.

"Everything remains the same."

"Back off."

Listening to the shocking numbers of casualties one by one, True Lord Mo Mei's face did not waver at all, and he said calmly without looking back.

"yes."

The Lord of Jindan City, who did not dare to say a word and just wanted to live a good life, immediately respectfully stepped down.

Time turned and it was already two years later.

Without reinforcements from Haoyue Immortal City, many gathering places could barely maintain their existence. Under the powerful offensive of the demon clan, bad news came from time to time.

Small and medium-sized gathering places have been destroyed one after another, and even large gathering places are in danger.

Every day, a large number of messages for help came pouring in, but Mo Mei turned a deaf ear to them.

Without her order, the immortal city monks would not dare to send troops privately.

This arrangement made many monks secretly dissatisfied and quietly reported the situation to the Seven Nations Alliance.

Faced with the inquiry from the Seven Nations Alliance, True Lord Mo Mei simply responded by saying "I have my own arrangements" and said that if he felt that he was not doing a good enough job, he could arrange for another True Lord to take over.

Most Nascent Soul old monsters put their own interests first, and if something happens to them, the forces they belong to will fall apart. When they hear the news that they are going to the front line, they are naturally unwilling to come to take over.

So no matter how the monks reported it, Mo Mei's decision-making did not change at all.

As long as you don't act without permission, you can turn a blind eye to the behavior of low-level monks who report secretly.

"If this continues, I'm afraid the alliance will have a hard time explaining it."

Beside Mo Mei, True Lord Huangmei said leisurely.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a small matter."

"I wish the Alliance would replace me."

True Lord Mo Mei smiled indifferently and said without caring.

"If this continues, as each gathering place falls, the demon army will sooner or later reach the city."

Liu Yu said casually without comment.

If the Demon King takes action, the gathering places established by low-level monks will of course be quickly uprooted.

But True Lord Nascent Soul bullies the small with the big, and he can also kill low-level monsters arbitrarily.

So over time, the two sides have already reached a tacit agreement, and existences above level four are not allowed to take action at will.

Therefore, in the face of the overwhelming monster offensive, the various gathering places were not captured quickly, and they could still hold on with the help of terrain and formations.

It's just that the demon clan is already powerful, and the number of demon beasts of the same level is far greater than that of human monks.

Although the formation can barely sustain it for a while, without the reinforcements from Immortal City, the fall is only a matter of time.

If this continues, it can be predicted that it won't be long before the demon clan can advance to Haoyue City.

"The intensity of the demon clan's offensive seems a little abnormal."

Hearing this, Mo Mei frowned slightly.

Before she guarded Haoyue Immortal City, the intensity of the war had gradually decreased.

It was precisely because she calculated that even if she did not support the major gathering places, it would not be a problem to support them for fifteen years, so this woman made the decision not to provide reinforcements.

But judging from the current situation, the demon clan's offensive enthusiasm is contrary to common sense.

Moreover, there are only some abnormalities in the Haoyue Immortal City area, but the attack intensity in other areas is still steadily decreasing.

"This unusual offensive may be related to Xuanbing Palace."

Mo Mei told her guess.

As soon as she took office, the demon clan, whose enthusiasm had subsided, suddenly increased in attack intensity, and she couldn't help but think of Xuanbing Palace.

As soon as these words came out, several people's faces suddenly became serious.

"This guess is indeed possible."

Liu Yu looked solemn and nodded slowly.

Thinking of the Haoyue Immortal City, the demon clan's completely different attack intensity, combined with Mo Mei's unusual mobilization, it is difficult not to think of Xuan Bing Palace.

Demon cultivators also have advanced wisdom and can communicate with them normally.

Although it was a time of war, there was very little communication between high-level monks and high-level demon cultivators, but it was absolutely impossible not to do so.

For example, the three major alliances all have "demon rapes" arranged by the demon clan, and naturally there are "human rapes" arranged by the demon clan within the human race.

"Perhaps Xuanbing Palace Nangongtian has secretly reached some kind of agreement with high-level demon cultivators."

"For example, if the demon clan helps this person get rid of Mo Mei, the reward will be an area of ​​20,000 miles around Haoyue Immortal City."

Liu Yu thought silently in his heart.

"It's even possible that the other two true monarchs guarding this city were arranged by Nangong Tian and turned against each other at the critical moment."

Thinking of Xuan Bing Palace's pusher, many thoughts flashed through his mind, but he did not say them out.

Guesses are just guesses after all, there is no substantial evidence, and they cannot be used against a great monk.

"If this is true, then the trouble this time may be greater than imagined."

"I hope nothing unexpected happens in the remaining thirteen years."

Thinking of the careful arrangement of a great monk, True Lord Huangmei also looked solemn.

However, for the sake of "returning the true elixir" and the opportunity to advance to the later stage, he didn't care so much, and had no idea of ​​retreating from the battle.

High-level resources are scarce, and they have to compete with the True Lords and Demon Kings. There is no shortage of competitors at any time.

This time, what about the next time?

Can we wait until next time?

"I have to ask three fellow Taoists to monitor "those two people"."

True Lord Mo Mei cupped his hands and said.

She has never truly trusted the other two true monarchs who guard this city together.

These were all agreed upon, and the three of them had no objections and readily agreed immediately.

Regarding the changes in the situation around Fairy City, the four people once again discussed a response plan.

Seeing that the demon tribe could not reach the city for a while, they dispersed after half an hour and returned to their respective residences.

Returning to the mansion, Liu Yu sat cross-legged while practicing, lowering his head and thinking quietly.

"In the fight between high-level monks, low-level monks are of little use."

"The current surrounding situation is very clear. The demon clan will definitely attack Haoyue Immortal City within thirteen years."

"It's time for these dead soldiers under my command to evacuate."

"After all, it's not easy to cultivate."

The thought crossed his mind.

During the trip to the Central Region, I gained a lot of knowledge about cultivating immortals. Especially after being promoted to Nascent Soul, my Yuan Shen attainments were greatly improved.

Liu Yu has now been able to solve part of the sequelae of using the "glazed glass mind trick", at least so that his absolutely loyal dead soldiers will not be unable to advance to the golden elixir due to mental deficiencies.

With the supply of sufficient resources, there is no shortage of "Foundation Building Pill" and "Gold Forming Pill".

Over the years, among the more than 200 foundation-building warriors under his command, a few have indeed been promoted to the Golden Core stage.

It is foreseeable that as Liu Yu takes control of the sect and loosens his hands, his team of dead soldiers, the "Shadow of the Sun", will grow rapidly.

Given time, it is not impossible to give birth to a Nascent Soul Death Warrior.

As soon as he returned to Tiannan, Liu Yu increased his investment in the team of dead soldiers. Regardless of the cost, a total of nine golden elixirs were born.

Two of them followed him to Haoyue Immortal City to report some situations at any time.

"The golden elixir death warriors that I spawned are indeed not as strong as normal golden elixirs, but they are not much different."

"But he is better at being obedient and not afraid of death!"

"It is still necessary to cultivate as many golden elixir death warriors as possible. In the future, some important resource points under one's control can be directly guarded by death warriors."

Liu Yu flashed this idea.

After taking charge of the sect, he has no shortage of spiritual stones. With his current alchemy attainments, it is easy to refine the "Golden Formation Pill".

But even if there is a golden elixir, which can increase the success rate of the elixir a lot, the chance of his dead soldiers being promoted to a golden elixir is still not high.

After all, these monks have extremely poor qualifications to begin with, and they also practice quick magic techniques, resulting in a foundation of Taoism that is worse than that of normal monks.

With the golden elixir available, more than two hundred foundation-building dead soldiers attacked the elixir-forming bottleneck, and only nine of them succeeded in the end.

More than a hundred people died immediately after the attack failed, and only a few dozen people survived by chance, but their strength was greatly reduced as a result.

However, in terms of value, a hundred foundation-building monks may not be as good as one golden elixir monk.

This result is still within the acceptable range of Liu Yu.

"With the assistance of Jin Jie Dan, the success rate is still so low."

Thinking of this, Liu Yu frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied with this.

"The problem of spiritual root qualifications cannot be changed for the time being, but the skills can be improved."

"It seems it's time to subdivide "Shadow of the Sun" again."

"Choose the best monks among them, carry out key training, and practice high-grade skills to increase the chance of forming pills."

"At the same time, we are also preparing for the training of Nascent Soul Death Soldiers in the future."

"With my huge advantage, as long as there are no accidents along the way, I should be able to complete the Nascent Soul Realm cultivation much faster than other True Lords."

"It's time to make some preparations for this."

"As for the sect, we can also release some gold-forming elixirs to increase the probability of sect disciples forming elixirs and mobilize their enthusiasm to serve the sect."

"After all, the current sect and team of dead soldiers cannot meet my future requirements!"

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Liu Yu's mind for a moment, then he took out a message jade token, raised his hand and sent a message, ordering the two golden elixir warriors to leave Haoyue Immortal City.

As for the foundation-building dead soldiers, they will continue to stay and report the situation to themselves at any time.

The Zhongyu Communication Jade Card covers a very wide range and is far more advanced than the current communication methods in Tiannan. Liu Yu naturally bought hundreds of sets early and put them in the storage ring for emergencies.

Returning to Tiannan, it came in handy immediately.

The communication jade tablets he collected were naturally of a relatively high level, and could send messages across more than a dozen continents in the Central Region.

Back in Tiannan, real-time communication can be achieved anywhere in the Tiannan Cultivation World, as long as it is not in some special areas.

Not only that, Liu Yu has also figured out how to refine the jade token for communication.

Although it is only the most basic kind, it can be refined by the sect's weapon refiner at any time.

With the Immortal Mansion as his support, Liu Yu has cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm, and already has too many advantages compared to monks of the same level. Like a snowball, it is getting bigger and bigger, and his rise will be faster and faster.

The only people he needs to be afraid of now are the god-transforming monks and the fifth-level demon king.

Otherwise, with the Sword of Destruction in hand and being able to control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to a certain extent, there is no need to be too afraid when facing the great monk.

"It won't be long, that day won't be too far away."

Feeling the steady improvement in cultivation, Liu Yu's dark pupils shone with an inexplicable luster.

Every few days, he takes a millennium elixir to practice. Even without the fourth-level elixir, his cultivation speed is definitely far faster than that of all True Lords.

In terms of cultivation speed alone, even high-level Holy Land monks with relatively abundant resources must be far behind!

Even if he simply takes the elixir to practice, Liu Yu will reach the peak of the early Nascent Soul within two hundred years at most!

If we use level 4 elixirs instead, the cultivation speed will be

Sitting cross-legged, Liu Yu eliminated distracting thoughts and soon entered a state of forgetfulness.

Then I took a piece of Ganoderma lucidum and started daily practice.

…

The war between humans and demons has lasted for more than a hundred years, and the demon clan has swallowed up nearly one-third of the territory of the Seven Nations Alliance.

Low-level monsters have long been able to meet their needs for reproduction, so they gradually become "unwilling to make progress".

Looking at the entire front line of the human-monster war, this trend has become more obvious, and many monks have made the judgment that the war may be about to end.

However, under the influence of unknown factors, the attack intensity of the monsters in the Haoyue Immortal City did not decrease at all, and they continued to launch fierce attacks on the strongholds of the Immortal City.

Without reinforcements, gathering places around Fairy City fell one after another.

As time goes by, the demon clan advances towards Haoyue Immortal City step by step.

The monks in the gathering area who were unable to receive reinforcements gradually became desperate and lacked the determination to resist to the end, further accelerating this trend.

Every day, a large number of monks and mortals died at the mouths of various monsters.

Time flies and eight years pass quickly.

"This day has finally come."

"It's really not that easy to get the "Returning Pill"."

On the wall of the North City, looking at the smoke and dust outside the city, True Lord Huangmei shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Hearing this, the other three people's expressions were not very good, and they looked at the distance outside the city without saying a word.

"During a war, the influence of a great monk far exceeds that of an ordinary true king."

"In normal times, Mo Mei's influence may be comparable to him by virtue of his reputation as an alchemy master."

"But now."

"If it is really Nangong Tian who pushed the situation and secretly reached some kind of agreement with the demon clan, even if Mo Mei does not make a firm decision, I am afraid the result will not be different."

"The demon clan's troops are coming to the city, it's just a matter of time."

Putting his hands behind his back and looking out of the city, Liu Yu had various thoughts flashing through his mind.

Since he wanted to deal with Mo Mei, Nangong Tian must have made corresponding arrangements a long time ago, and he was at least more than half sure of winning.

Perhaps there are corresponding arrangements within the human race and the demon race.

A two-pronged approach!

Thinking this, he looked around.

To the north of the fairy city, smoke and dust were everywhere on the distant horizon, floating in the air so that the vision was somewhat unclear.

In the billowing smoke and dust, traces of monster beasts were looming, rushing towards the huge fairy city like a tide.
