Chapter 779: Cruel Decision
In other words, once Bright Moon Immortal City falls, the consequences will be extremely serious.
At that time, within a radius of twenty thousand miles, the various gathering places of cultivators, both large and small, will become isolated "islands," likely facing the threat of being swallowed by the demonic race.
The demonic race will not give the Tian Nan cultivation world any chance to reestablish its core.
A radius of twenty thousand miles is almost equivalent to two Qingzhou, and is about half the size of Chu State. It must not be easily abandoned.
Bright Moon Immortal City is only two hundred thousand miles away from the center of the Seven Nations Alliance.
Otherwise, if a city is lost today, another piece of land will be lost tomorrow, and it won’t be long before the demonic race reaches the Five Elements Pass!
Once an accident occurs at the Five Elements Pass, more than half of the territories of the Seven Nations Alliance will fall, leading to a domino effect.
At that time, the entire Seven Nations Alliance will be beyond salvation.
Because of the critical nature of the situation, Bright Moon Immortal City has always been guarded by three true lords, rotating every fifteen years.
However, that was in the past.
With the arrival of Ink Plum, the lineup defending this city has become unprecedentedly luxurious, to the point where many stationed true lords are envious!
...
Two days later.
On a section of the city wall of Bright Moon Immortal City, four figures stood quietly, gazing into the distance to the north.
It was Liu Yu, Ink Plum, Master Kongzhao, and Yellow Brow.
Behind the four of them, a dozen golden core cultivators stood respectfully, occasionally discussing some information about the surroundings of the immortal city.
As the setting sun cast its light on the walls and on the faces of the cultivators, the harsh atmosphere of impending slaughter seemed to diminish somewhat.
"Our city's 'Four Symbols Rotation Array' is both offensive and defensive, and its rank reaches the mid-grade of the fourth stage. Even if a late-stage fourth-order demonic king comes, it can hold for a while."
"This array..."
A late-stage golden core elder guarding the city detailed the situation of the city defense formation.
Two days had passed, and the group had completed their handover smoothly and officially settled into Bright Moon Immortal City, familiarizing themselves with the basic situation of the city and its surroundings.
A thin mist enveloped the mountains and fields, and the great sun struggled on the distant horizon, casting a reddish glow with a hint of warmth on Liu Yu's sturdy figure.
Bathed in the sunset, he listened carefully to the reports from the golden core cultivators, but his gaze wandered to the bustling cultivators coming and going in all directions of the immortal city.
As night fell, numerous escape lights kept flying in from all directions, landing a few miles outside Bright Moon Immortal City, revealing the figures of various cultivators.
The expressions of these cultivators varied; some looked joyful with abundant harvests, others appeared downcast from losing companions, and some were extremely cautious and careful.
The vast majority of cultivators showed signs of active magical power fluctuations.
It was clear that not long ago, they had experienced life-and-death battles, with some sporting alarming injuries.
They either traveled in groups, forming teams of various sizes to complete tasks, or moved alone for various reasons, navigating through the unknown wilderness.
To demonstrate their strength and deter small-time criminals, some cultivators even carried the corpses of demonic beasts on their backs instead of putting them into storage bags.
However, overall, there were evidently more groups acting in teams than lone wolves operating alone.
In the context of emphasizing "unity," the three major alliances encouraged low-level cultivators to form teams to complete various tasks assigned by the alliance.
