Chapter 1405 - 1405 1391 The Last Hope

Chapter 1405: Chapter 1391: The Last Hope Chapter 1405: Chapter 1391: The Last Hope Xiong Shuobo completely ignored Lou Xuancheng. The Immortal and Demon realms had already been defeated. What use was the Alliance Leader now? He was certainly not going to fall for that and stay behind. He was thinking about fleeing for his life and said to Lou Xuancheng, “My martial arts are not worth mentioning. It’s better to leave this matter to Su Zhanze, who is more skilled and still has the Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand.” He totally disdained Lou Xuancheng.

“That guy, if the position of the Alliance Leader had been given to him back then, that would’ve been something,” said Hu Nanyue.

Unfortunately for him, Xiong Shuobo overheard this remark, turned his head, and retorted, “If I were the Alliance Leader, I wouldn’t have chosen to fight. I would have entangled them to death. We had a good Defense System, unused, and let others lead us by the nose. What kind of intelligence is that? And he dares to criticize me.”

Seeing the furious state of Xiong Shuobo, Hu Nanyue was at a loss for words.

Xiong Shuobo, already seething with anger, went to the back and ignored him completely.

Hu Nanyue watched, and everything seemed chaotic.

Lou Xuancheng said, “You take the lead, and we’ll retreat. I’ll cover our rear.”

“What? No, I’ll cover the rear, you retreat.”

“That’s not possible. I am the Alliance Leader and everyone must listen to me.” But who was going to listen to the Alliance Leader now? Everyone was only thinking about saving their own lives.

“Exactly because you are the Alliance Leader, you must not be in any danger,” Hu Nanyue said.

Lou Xuancheng knew that the Immortal and Demon realms were on the brink of collapse. If he were to let go and flee first, the chaos would only increase. Therefore, he had to stay. Staying was the key to stabilizing the situation, to avoid total disorder. Besides, he didn’t know what else he could do.

Lou Xuancheng then said, “Just listen to me. You take Qing’er and the others and quickly evacuate.” Although the other exit had been blocked, making it not easy to escape, he had already figured out the surroundings. As long as they could entangle Longhun sufficiently, they would certainly be able to save most of the people. Now, they would save as many as they could.

Qing’er was very reluctant. She knew how dangerous it would be to stay behind and that it was very likely they wouldn’t make it out.

Su Zhanze was seriously injured, facing the necessity to flee. At this time, Longhun had transformed into a Moon Beast and was preparing to go on a killing spree. However, Ren Haotian was fixated on Su Zhanze, the one who conspired against him and his father and killed his father. How could he simply let him go?

“The shameless guy thinks he can run away without asking me first?” Ren Haotian pulled out a stream of energy from the Immortal Pearl and directly attacked Su Zhanze, blocking his way.

If Su Zhanze hadn’t been injured, he would have definitely killed this guy with a single sword strike.

“You killed my father, and you think you can run away? Did you even ask me? Today, I will make you pay with your life for my father’s death.”

Chen Yu blocked his path.

“You think you’re so powerful! I want to see just how powerful you are!” Ren Haotian, seeing their grim situation, also gained a lot of confidence.

“Damn it, don’t think I can’t kill you just like this.” Flying up, he lunged with his sword directly towards Longhun, Ren Haotian, who was blocking the way.

Lou Xuancheng told Hu Nanyue that because Xiong Shuobo had disobeyed the command and fled early, yet there were still righteous people in the Immortal and Demon realms. It was urgent to organize them now; otherwise, they would become a disorganized mess, resulting in many more deaths.

He found Song Zheng’an of the Nine Leaves Sect and Guan Yi of the Withered Leaf Sect. Now, only these two Sect Leaders were still willing to follow his orders, and they both had a sense of justice.

Song Zheng’an said, “Alliance Leader, why haven’t you left yet? It will be too late if you don’t go now.”

Lou Xuancheng had already put his life aside. How could he selfishly seek survival alone? If he did, without anyone taking responsibility, the situation would definitely become even more chaotic. Fortunately, there were still two Sect Leaders with him at this time. Lou Xuancheng glanced at them.

Over there, the injured Su Zhanze was being chased by a group. Lou Xuancheng quickly said, “Guan Yi, go help Su Zhanze.”

Among the major factions of the Immortal and Demon realms, Su Zhanze had the highest martial arts skill and was a valuable resource. His survival would definitely benefit the Immortal and Demon realms. If Su Zhanze were to die, there would likely be no one left to confront Longhun. But if Su Zhanze were to survive, there would still be a glimmer of hope.

Guan Yi responded, “Alright, don’t worry, I’ll take care of those people.”

Suddenly, Song Zheng’an said, “Speaking of which, I don’t know if you’ve received the news that Ye Chen is not dead, but I have, just now.”

Lou Xuancheng looked over in surprise, asking, “What? Ye Chen is still alive?”

“It seems you didn’t know. I just found out myself, but it’s true he’s still alive.”

Upon hearing this, Ling Jian added, “If Ye Chen is still alive, we must protect Su Zhanze at all costs.”

Song Shuangfeng nodded, “If Ye Chen is still alive, then if we can join forces with Su Zhanze, the Immortal and Demon realms definitely can battle Longhun again.”

Song Zheng’an also remarked, “Indeed, how did I not think of that.”

Although Lou Xuancheng was somewhat disordered, it only took him a moment to realize the importance of Su Zhanze being alive. If Su Zhanze were to die, everything would fall to Ye Chen, and Ye Chen likely wouldn’t be a match for Longhun. But if Su Zhanze were alive to join forces with Ye Chen, the situation would be vastly different.

Song Zheng’an said, “We should protect Su Zhanze as well as the Dragon Slayer Sword in his possession; we cannot let them fall into Longhun’s hands.”

Despite the complicated situation, Lou Xuancheng was extremely calm and made a decisive statement, “Ling Jian, I entrust you with the task of protecting Su Zhanze. You must ensure his safety at all costs.”

He was prepared to meet his death.

Ling Jian called out, “Alliance Leader, why don’t you leave with Su Zhanze instead?”

Song Zheng’an also said, “Yes, Alliance Leader, you should be the one to protect Su Zhanze as you escape.”

He couldn’t. If he were to abandon these people, they wouldn’t last one hour without him. He couldn’t do that. He called out, “Follow the Alliance Leader’s orders. Ling Jian, no matter what, you must protect Su Zhanze and enable him to join forces with Ye Chen when the time comes.”

With no other choice, Ling Jian had to turn around and leave.

Song Zheng’an looked at Lou Xuancheng and said, “Alright, I’ll stay with you.” He called out, “Wu Jingge, take Xizhi with you as you leave.”

Song Xizhi’s eyes widened as he called out, “What? Father!”

“Did you not hear me? Go with Wu Jingge at once, you must hurry.”

Song Zheng’an couldn’t just think of his own survival; he had originally planned to stay behind. Now that Lou Xuancheng was staying as well, he had even more reason not to leave. Faced with the onslaught of the frenzied Moon Beast and the Evil Spirit that was rapidly approaching from behind, their most important task now was to stabilize the troops and delay Longhun as much as possible to buy time for those behind them.

Song Xizhi couldn’t bear to leave; he knew what it meant.

Song Zheng’an said to his son, “My good son, you will certainly make a fine man in the future. Men do not shed tears lightly. Now go, follow Wu Jingge. Hurry.”

Having entrusted Song Xizhi to Wu Jingge, Song Zheng’an felt more at ease and said, “Alliance Leader, give me your orders.”

Lou Xuancheng glanced around and said, “Hold them back and buy time for the others.”

It seemed that was all they could do. The longer they delayed, the more people they could save. All these people were the strength of the realms of immortals and demons. If they were to die here, there would be no chance for a comeback. Those who survived would be the ones to face the Dragon Slaying Clan in the future. If they all perished here, who would be left to fight against the Dragon Slaying Clan?

Hearing that Ye Chen was still alive, even if he was to die here, he wanted to leave behind a group of people for the great battle against the Dragon Slaying Clan in the future.

With that thought in mind, everything became clear.

Lou Xuancheng made some arrangements. Although things were chaotic, they were still far from collapse.

Song Zheng’an said, “The Moon Beast is too powerful; we’re no match for it.”

“Then let’s use smoke and blend in with the Dragon Slaying Clan; they won’t dare to slaughter indiscriminately,” Lou Xuancheng replied, lacking any better plan.

“Okay, I’ll take charge of that,” Song Zheng’an said.

Lou Xuancheng knew this was incredibly dangerous but could find no one else to take on the responsibility.

“Ah, stop worrying about that; leave it to us. Even though we’re no match for the Moon Beast, we should have no problem fighting it off,” someone said.

“Then be careful.” Beyond expressing such concern, he knew not what else he could say.

Ren Haotian and Elder Xi Feng, utilizing the Moon Beast controlled by Longhun, launched an assault, slaughtering indiscriminately. As the people of the realms of immortals and demons were only concerned with fleeing for their lives, they too led their forces in the attack. Whether it was to bleed out or to annihilate the realms, this was an excellent opportunity. How could they possibly let such a good chance slip through their fingers?

Ren Haotian was pleased with himself. Su Zhanze was seriously injured, and he could sense a clear opportunity to avenge his father’s death. Elder Xi Feng, eyeing the Dragon Slayer Sword in Su Zhanze’s hand, was also reluctant to let Su Zhanze go. The two of them worked together.

But just as they were about to succeed, Guan Yi led a large group of people in a counterattack, arriving just in time. When the Immortal City Sect was on the brink of collapse, and everyone was only looking out for their own survival, there were still those who came out to help.

Ling Jian also came running, informing Guan Yi of the plan Lou Xuancheng had discussed earlier, also feeling that protecting Su Zhanze was of utmost importance.

With several hundred people, Guan Yi held off Ren Haotian and Elder Xi Feng. Without their intervention, the Immortal City Sect’s attempt at an easy escape would have been as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Guan Yi immediately said to Su Zhanze, “Follow Ling Jian; he knows another safe passage.”

Su Zhanze seemed like he should be moved. In such a moment, when there were still people who disregarded their own safety, he doubted if all of this was real. He called out, “Hurry up and go.” Some of the Immortal City Sect probably wanted to abandon him because the targets of Ren Haotian and Elder Xi Feng were very clear—it was him. Following him made it hard to shake the pursuers; he guessed there were quite a few who had thought of escaping on their own.
