Immortal Palace of Eternal Life

CHAPTER 782: The Situation Is Not Right

“Tap, tap.”

The earth trembled slightly, and the intensity was continually increasing, as if the entire world was on the brink of collapse.

In every direction, countless demonic beasts were rushing towards them from all sides.

“Rumble, rumble.”

Accompanied by the shaking of the ground, a cultivator's vision was sharp enough to see the demonic beasts clearly within the dust clouds.

At a glance, millions of demonic beasts converged into a torrent of flesh and blood, sweeping towards Bright Moon Immortal City from all directions.

It seemed as if they were about to engulf the city in the next moment!

“Gegge~”

Seeing this scene, many low-level cultivators trembled, their bodies shaking slightly.

Even though they were stationed at the front lines and considered “elite” warriors experienced in battle, witnessing the stampede of thousands of beasts made them feel small and powerless.

In the face of the surging tide of beasts, even a golden core master seemed insignificant.

“Can Bright Moon Immortal City really hold its ground?!”

A low-level cultivator from a small sect stationed at Bright Moon Immortal City, who had experienced countless battles and was at the mid foundation establishment stage, couldn’t help but harbor doubts in his heart.

In his spiritual perception, he sensed powerful auras everywhere outside the city, with second and third stage demonic beasts prevalent, leaving no blind spots.

Under such circumstances, once the city was breached, low-level cultivators would have almost no way to survive!

Although there were over ten thousand cultivators stationed in Bright Moon Immortal City, compared to the demonic beasts surrounding them, they were completely insignificant, outnumbered by at least several times!

Despite being prepared for battle and having comrades ready, many cultivators couldn’t help but question this disparity in power.

During wartime, the city's defense formation remained in a semi-active state.

Segments of the city wall shimmered with various colors of spiritual light, and runes, whether simple or complex, flashed across the walls, forming various magical formations with different effects.

From a distance, the entire Bright Moon Immortal City was enveloped in a kaleidoscope of spiritual light, resembling a giant beast lying across the land.

In comparison, the demonic beasts, some measuring several zhang in size, appeared diminutive, yet the torrent formed by countless beasts was spectacular, as if it was going to sweep by and devour the city.

“My safety is entrusted to all of you, my friends.”

“This mission still has five years left. As long as I remain unharmed, I promise to deliver the promised reward with both hands.”

On the highest segment of the city wall, with a grave expression, Ink Plum True Lord said once again.

Various strategic materials were adequately stocked in Bright Moon Immortal City; as long as the city wasn’t breached, it could sustain itself for decades.

“According to our agreement, we will do our utmost to protect you, Ink Plum,” Liu Yu, Yellow Brow, and Master Kongzhao replied.

Although the number of demonic beasts was immense, even reaching into the tens of thousands, the three of them remained unfazed.

Even if Bright Moon Immortal City were breached, these low-level demonic beasts would find it difficult to pose a threat; only true lords of the same rank and demonic kings could threaten a yuan ying true monarch!

In the absence of immediate danger to their lives and before receiving the promised reward, the three naturally wouldn’t breach their agreement lightly.

Ink Plum clearly understood this, so no matter how the three persuaded her, she firmly refused to consider advancing the payment of the reward.

Meanwhile, the other two true lords assigned to defend the city stood several dozen zhang away, their faces extremely serious.

Noticing Ink Plum's attitude, they didn’t approach carelessly; even when they communicated, it was through distant sound transmission.
