Chapter 784: Why Force Liu Yu to Make a Move?
As the stationed true lord, each of the three originally had some authority to control parts of the formation.
However, due to her lack of trust, Ink Plum forcefully revoked the permissions of the other two as soon as she arrived in this city.
"No wonder this person was appointed so early; they probably manipulated things back then."
Thinking of Wu Changchun's rapid appointment and associating it with his attainments in formation Dao, many of Ink Plum's doubts were suddenly resolved.
Without a doubt, this person is affiliated with Nangong Tian!
She had suspicions long ago, but because of the rules of the Seven Nations Alliance, she couldn't take action until Wu Changchun actually committed certain acts.
At this moment, with the demonic king before her and the impending thunderous attack, she had no time to spare.
"How infuriating!"
"If there’s another chance, I must take this person down first, no matter what."
"Indeed, a gentleman should act before being outdone by others!"
Ink Plum’s anger surged, but it was already too late for regrets.
She regretted not being decisive enough to strike first and eliminate the danger in its cradle, which led to the current embarrassing situation.
Not far away, Liu Yu watched this scene, and one thought after another flickered in his mind.
"Wu Changchun or Nangong Tian really have some nerve!"
"They anticipated that he would use various means against Ink Plum, but they didn't expect him to go so far as to disregard the lives of countless cultivators."
"Such behavior has undeniably harmed the interests of the entire Human Race; only a great cultivator would dare to do this."
"If an ordinary true lord acts this way, they would surely sever their ties with the entire Human Race!"
"This can no longer be explained simply as ruthless; it seems that all cultivators at the yuan ying realm, including myself, have greatly diminished 'humanity.'"
As the last thought flashed by, he felt little turmoil in his heart.
Perhaps this is the "cost" of transcending into the holy realm?
With the formation broken, the strongest barrier of Bright Moon Immortal City vanished.
In the face of the significant disparity in strength between both sides, even with the geographical advantage of the immortal city, it was impossible to withstand the demonic race.
Realizing the perilous situation, many cultivators displayed shock, which soon turned into endless terror.
Liu Yu glanced around; segments of the city wall were in disarray, and some quick-reacting cultivators silently used various means to escape.
After all, even if they fought with all their might, they would only be like a mantis trying to stop a cart, ultimately facing the fate of the city falling and people dying.
Unfortunately, the skies above and the grounds below were teeming with demonic beasts and demonic cultivators.
Even if low-level cultivators made every effort to escape, only a few would be destined to survive, and having even a handful would be a stroke of luck.
On the other side, sensing Ink Plum's murderous gaze, Wu Changchun feigned ignorance.
He didn't turn around, nor did he show any intention of engaging in battle as agreed.
"Not good, the formation is broken!"
"All cultivators, immediately retreat at my command!"
Wu Changchun spoke authoritatively, issuing a sound transmission that echoed throughout the city, seemingly considering the low-level cultivators and wanting to preserve some strength.
Before his words faded, he transformed into a beam of escape light, vanishing several miles away in the blink of an eye.
Although he had reached some tacit understanding with the demonic race, the yuan ying of human cultivators were a great supplement to the demonic king, so he naturally wouldn't entrust his life to the demonic race.
"Swoosh swoosh~"
The demonic kings surrounding him merely symbolically obstructed him and allowed Wu Changchun to leave.
Not looking back, he quickly became a small dot on the horizon.
Having secretly maneuvered without being caught, he could easily explain his actions as an "accident" if investigated.
