#2262 - Retreat to Changsheng

Jun Yu Nuo looked towards the desolate giant city and said, "I have guarded the borderlands for decades, and now I have decided to retreat to the Eternal Life Continent.

After I leave, the responsibility of guarding the borderlands will naturally be shouldered by forces such as the Nightmare Clan."

As soon as these words came out, many figures rushed out from within the desolate giant city and came into the air.

"War Immortal, you are too kind to us."

"War Immortal, now that you are leaving, how can we possibly defend it?

The borderlands have always relied on War Immortal as their backbone.

Today, War Immortal is leading the soldiers and civilians of the front-line cities of the borderlands to retreat to the Eternal Life Continent.

We, these forces, should naturally respond to the War Immortal's call.

Therefore, we have decided to withdraw from the borderlands and relocate to the Eternal Life Continent!"

After the experts from various forces finished speaking, they cupped their fists in a salute to Jun Yu Nuo across the sky, and turned into streams of light, disappearing into the heavens and earth, actually running away directly.

The soldiers and civilians in the city were all stunned, their expressions extremely ugly.

"A bunch of cowardly bastards!"

The faces of the giant city's garrison generals were ashen, gnashing their teeth.

"All the soldiers and civilians of our Borderland City, the borderlands cannot be defended now.

War Immortal has made the decision to retreat to the Eternal Life Continent, which must be the optimal strategy after careful consideration and various assessments.

We should follow War Immortal and retreat to the Eternal Life Continent, and from now on, only listen to War Immortal's orders!

I believe that when we arrive at the Eternal Life Continent, War Immortal will definitely not allow those forces to enter this city again!

We will no longer be constrained by them, living under their lewd power!

I wonder if you are willing to follow War Immortal to the Eternal Life Continent!"

The entire desolate giant city fell into a brief silence.

Subsequently, a deafening shout broke the silence.

"We are willing to follow War Immortal to retreat to the Eternal Life Continent!"

"We are willing…"

…

One voice after another, countless soldiers and civilians in the desolate giant city shouted in unison.

They knew very well in their hearts that the borderlands could be defended until now because of War Immortal's presence.

Among so many experts from the Godly Ancient, only War Immortal has truly stood up to fight against the dark creatures so far.

Now that War Immortal is retreating to the Eternal Life Continent, their only choice is to follow, which is the wisest and most correct choice!

"Very good!"

The commander of the desolate giant city nodded, turned to look at Jun Yu Nuo in the distant sky, knelt down on one knee, and said resolutely: "Please, War Immortal, take us to the Eternal Life Continent. From now on, the soldiers and civilians of our city are willing to obey War Immortal's orders, fight against the darkness, and defend our Godly Ancient's pure land, with absolutely no second thoughts!"

"Since that's the case, I will take you to the Eternal Life Continent."

This was the effect Jun Yu Nuo wanted.

She had accurately predicted that when she left, the giant city behind would become the front-line city, and forces such as the Nightmare Clan would inevitably withdraw from the borderlands.

She just didn't expect that those forces would run so fast, leaving on the spot.

"Thank you, War Immortal!"

The soldiers and civilians of the desolate giant city cheered and raised their arms.

Jun Yu Nuo stretched out her slender fingers, and laws covered the giant city, causing the entire city to rise from the ground, shrink rapidly, and disappear into her palm.

The desolate borderlands, where the two cities used to be located, were now barren, and nothing could be seen.

After that, Jun Yu Nuo also took away the vast area behind the original desolate giant city.

There were countless tombs there, all of which were the tombs of soldiers who had died in battle in the borderlands throughout the ages.

Jun Yu Nuo wrapped Jun Wuxie and the others with laws and true energy and disappeared into the borderlands.

Almost instantly, they appeared in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Tai Xu Divine Sect of the Eternal Life Continent.

This place is connected to the territory where the Savage Ancient Beastman Race is located to the east, and the connection between the two places is narrower, forming a long and narrow land on the sea.

Except for that long and narrow land, the west is all sea.

The sea is divided into the southwestern and northwestern seas.

The southwestern sea is the Hurricane Sea, and the northwest is the Chaotic Evil Sea, both of which are special seas that cannot be passed through. There is a power that prohibits flight above the sea, and even Reincarnation Eternal Gods cannot fly.

Sailing at sea is full of dangers, so there is no fear of dark creatures attacking from the sea.

The relatively safe sea route is in the northern sea area of the Chaotic Evil Sea, leading to the two garrison ports of the Wind and Snow Divine Kingdom, the western port and the eastern port where the forbidden area of the Wind and Snow Divine Kingdom is located.

If dark creatures want to attack the Eternal Life Continent, they can only attack from these three routes.

The southeast, north, and west sides of the Eternal Life Continent are all seas, namely the Arctic Sea and the Crimson Blood Sea.

These two seas are vast in area, making it difficult to cross the long sea from other continents, so these three sides are very safe.

"Welcome, War Immortal!"

Many profound lights pierced through the sky within the Tai Xu Divine Sect and landed in front of Jun Yu Nuo.

These were several old men, the ancient ancestors and sect master of the Tai Xu Divine Clan.

Each of those ancient ancestors was a Reincarnation Eternal God, and the sect master was a giant Eternal God expert.

Jun Yu Nuo nodded, as a response.

She released the two cities from the world in her palm, slowly descending and placing them near the coast, just blocking the narrow land connecting to the Savage Ancient Beastman Race.

"War Immortal, you have arrived, our Savage Ancient Beastman Race is ready!"

Many experts from the Savage Ancient Beastman Race appeared, all stepping forward to salute Jun Yu Nuo.

Even the Reincarnation Eternal Gods lowered their posture.

This War Immortal was too terrifying, easily suppressing and killing three dark experts outside the Phantom Dragon Land in the borderlands that day!

Those were experts equivalent to three First World Eternal God realms, who were suppressed and killed just like that!

"You should settle your tribe here.

Both of your forces should take out some materials and resources and send them to the Wind and Snow Divine Kingdom to help them build and strengthen the city defenses of the two major ports."

"We respectfully obey War Immortal's orders.

I wonder if the Wind and Snow Divine Kingdom has any new news. Are their Reincarnation Eternal Gods still unwilling to be born?"

The Reincarnation Eternal God experts from the Tai Xu Divine Sect and the Savage Ancient Beastman Race said.

There was some worry and anger between their brows.

They didn't know what the Reincarnation Eternal Gods of the Wind and Snow Divine Kingdom were thinking.

What was the situation now, and they were still unwilling to be born.

They wouldn't say why when asked.

However, judging from the attitude expressed by the old prince of the Wind and Snow Divine Kingdom in the Phantom Dragon Land, they shouldn't be like this.

What were the Reincarnation Eternal Gods of the Wind and Snow Divine Kingdom worried about?

It would be fine if the Eternal Life Valley and the Elf Divine Kingdom were hesitant.

But the Wind and Snow Divine Kingdom, the location of the two major ports, was the route of the dark future's attack.

They happened to be at the forefront, in the most forward position, but their own Reincarnation Eternal Gods were unwilling to be born!

"You don't need to worry about this matter, Wuxie and I will solve it.

As for the resources and materials, you should send them to the Wind and Snow Divine Kingdom as soon as possible.

Also, you need to personally take a group of experts to the two major port cities of the Wind and Snow Divine Kingdom to sit in town."

"Yes, we will do it right away."

The experts from the Tai Xu Divine Sect and the Savage Ancient Beastman Race left one after another.

Jun Yu Nuo and Jun Wuxie and others returned to the temple in the city.

"Wuxie, you can go to the Twilight Dynasty now.

Mother will send the War Immortal Letter to those forces."

Jun Yu Nuo pointed her fingers and waved them quickly, writing words in the air, and then condensing them into scrolls flowing with the power of laws, breaking through the air and flying in different directions.

Jun Wuxie left immediately, crossed the vast desert, exited the garrison gate, came to a vast grassland, crossed the vast forest, passed over the territory of the Crimson Flame Divine Sect and the Great Sun Divine Clan, entered the God of War Continent and the Glory Continent, and then went to the Gale Plains.

The Misty Forest was located to the east between the Glory Continent and the Gale Plains.

The north and south of the Misty Forest were separated from other places by two huge mountain ranges.

Across the distant sky, Jun Wuxie looked at the primeval forest.

On the surface, it looked no different from ordinary deep mountains and old forests. It was boundless, with vast territory. The entire area was covered by dense vegetation, and there were many mountains inside.

Just looking at it, it was impossible to see any danger inside.

In fact, that area was very unusual. Since ancient times, it had been regarded by cultivators as a land of absolute death, second only to the forbidden zone of life.

As long as you went in, it was basically certain death.

What terrifying things were in the Misty Forest, no one had ever been able to figure out since ancient times.

For the world, it was a mysterious, unknown, and terrifying place.

Jun Wuxie did not stay for long, and then entered the Gale Plains, and soon came to the territory of Twilight Continent.

Soon after, a huge city appeared at the end of the line of sight.

The city was ancient and magnificent, shimmering with orange-red light in the sunlight, as if it were located under the setting sun.

That city was the imperial city of the Twilight Dynasty — Twilight City!

He changed his appearance and entered the city.

The city was lively and prosperous, but at the same time, there was a strange atmosphere of tension.

From time to time, you could see many people gathering, shouting slogans to protect the Eternal Life Continent and fight against the darkness.

There were even a large number of people marching in certain streets, and the army of the Twilight Dynasty was driving away and suppressing them.

Under the prosperity of the Twilight Dynasty, internal divisions had already appeared.

The matter of his mother retreating to the Eternal Life Continent had already spread, and everyone in the Twilight Dynasty knew that the dynasty had not expressed its intention to fight against the darkness together.

Some people with lofty ideals organized themselves to speak out, trying to influence more people and force the royal family to express their position.

However, the royal family's response to their demands was to disperse or forcibly suppress them.

At the same time.

The Twilight Emperor and others were in the imperial palace hall, looking solemnly at the War Immortal Letter suspended in the air.

The entire imperial palace hall was silent, and no one spoke.

Those usually eloquent ministers had now become mutes.

"A bunch of useless people, aren't you usually very capable?

Why are you all silent now?

Can you come up with a good solution?"

After a long silence, the Twilight Emperor finally couldn't help it, and coldly scanned the ministers in the hall.

The ministers were as quiet as cicadas in winter, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

"Your Majesty."

A minister mustered his courage and stepped forward, saying, "This matter is no small affair. That Battle Immortal is extremely terrifying. This humble servant dares not offer any advice.

This humble servant believes that this matter still requires His Majesty and the ancestral founders of the imperial family to deliberate and decide upon the most prudent course of action!"

"I second that!"

"We second that!"

A group of ministers echoed in agreement.

None of them wanted to get burned.

Who would dare to offer advice? If any mistake were to occur, they would surely incur the wrath of the imperial family, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

"You are truly fine subjects of mine!"

The Sunset Emperor's eyes were icy cold.

Of course, he knew that the final decision on this matter required discussion among the key members of the imperial family, especially the old emperors of past generations.

However, he still wanted to see what opinions the ministers could offer, to see if they would disregard their own safety and speak out for the sake of the dynasty in this matter.

In the end, he was disappointed.

These people, who were usually eloquent, were all silent today, afraid to offer any advice.

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. We are willing to exhaust our efforts and die for you!"

The ministers treated the Sunset Emperor's sarcasm as praise, kneeling down in unison to thank him for his grace.

The muscles on the Sunset Emperor's face twitched violently a few times.

"Dismissed!"

He flicked his sleeves, turned around with a cold face, and left. Several eunuchs hurriedly followed.

The kneeling ministers secretly sighed in relief, raised their heads, and looked at each other, their eyes conveying a tacit understanding.

At this moment, Jun Wuxie was hiding near the main hall, witnessing this scene.

Judging solely from today's events and the expressions of the ministers, there were many sly and opportunistic individuals among them.

The Sunset Emperor was obviously aware of this.

However, for him, treacherous officials had their uses. They could be used to restrain other ministers, thereby balancing the power in the court.

As the emperor of the cultivation world, he could not be like the emperors of the secular world, attending court every day and spending all his energy on managing state affairs. He had to devote part of his energy to cultivation.

Therefore, balancing the power in the court was very important; otherwise, it would be easy for certain forces to become too powerful.

"Too fond of playing imperial power games, and in the end, it's difficult to find a few truly loyal subjects.

What kind of emperor produces what kind of subjects."

Jun Wuxie commented on the Sunset Emperor.

Subsequently, he used the Minor Space-Time Art to sneak into the depths of the palace and located the Sunset Emperor's position, observing him from a distance.

The Sunset Emperor's realm was not low; he was a powerhouse who had just entered the Supreme God Realm.

For his age, this level of strength was already quite impressive.

Some imperial dynasties, divine dynasties, or sect leaders might be at the Mixed Yuan God Realm or even the Eternal God Realm.

That was because they had been in power for a long time, and their years of cultivation were long.

The leaders of major forces were all exceptionally talented individuals.

Those with low cultivation talent were simply not qualified to become the leader of a major force.

"Someone!"

"This servant is here. What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

An old eunuch hurried into the Sunset Emperor's study.

"Quickly go to the imperial secret chamber and prepare tea. I want to invite the imperial ancestors to discuss matters!"

"Yes!"

The old eunuch hurriedly left.

Jun Wuxie quietly followed.
