Chapter 385 - 385 372 Life and Death in the Immortal City

Chapter 385: Chapter 372: Life and Death in the Immortal City Chapter 385: Chapter 372: Life and Death in the Immortal City Ye Chen sent a message by carrier pigeon to Ren Xiongbei, informing him that the Zen Master had already departed for Immortal City and expressing his concerns.

Ren Xiongbei quickly summoned Zhan Ze and others for a discussion.

Ren Haotian said, “This guy must be paranoid. We just learned that everything is fine in Immortal City. I think the Dragon Slaying Clan is exploiting his paranoia and purposely setting this up to lure us back to Immortal City, to trap Elder Qiao and the others.”

Ren Xiongbei glanced at Zhan Ze and asked, “Zhan Ze, what do you think?”

Zhan Ze said, “What Haotian said makes some sense. It might be intentional. Whether the Zen Master really went to Immortal City or not, they like to play such deceptive games – panic us into returning to Immortal City, thereby scattering our forces, it’s possible.

More so, we already know that there’s no unusual movement around Immortal City. Also, several people have confirmed that more than four thousand members of the Dragon Slaying Clan are near Heavenly City and have already joined forces with the demons. Could this possibly be false?”

Haotian said, “Exactly dad, this guy is becoming more and more neurotic. Let’s not listen to him. I think members of the Dragon Slaying Clan have caught onto this, that’s why they are deliberately messing with him.

Their aim is to scatter us, and we can’t fall for it. The Zen Master only has so many people left, and given how many have died, even if we rush over there, they can’t possibly overtake our Immortal City. Do they really think our Immortal City is made of paper!”

Only then did Ren Xiongbei slightly nod his head.

Zhan Ze said, “If we do not even trust our own information, what can we believe in then?”

Haotian said, “If anything had happened in Immortal City, we would have known about it long ago.”

In the morning, the winged dragon sent by Ye Chen discovered that Ren Xiongbei did not turn around, but continued toward Heavenly City.

Li Mo said with a cold laugh, “You see, I told you these guys wouldn’t believe our words. He thinks we’re joking with them.”

“Never mind them, let’s head back to Immortal City.” Ye Chen continued, “We need to hurry back as quickly as possible.”

Jiang Zhuge said, “Perhaps, nothing has happened to Immortal City. This proves that Immortal City is still safe, otherwise they would have known about it long ago.”

Ye Chen anxiously said, “Heh, the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan are not that stupid. They would not let you discover it so quickly. In case something happens, it might be too late to race back.”

Kong Sha said, “These people deserve a lesson, we should really teach them a thing or two.”

“Stop fretting, let’s hurry back to Immortal City. We can’t let anything happen to Immortal City.” Ye Chen said.

Can Mo said, “It seems that these disciples of the Immortal City Sect believe that we are trying to scare them.”

“Jiang Zhuge, get ready. We need to speed up towards Immortal City. No delays, we’ve already wasted too much time.”

Jiang Zhuge nodded and said, “Understood.”

The Mitra Monk quickly found out about Ye Chen and his team turning around. However, he had no idea how long it would take to overtake Immortal City.

Shen Tian was a little anxious, unsure if they had discovered something.

The Mitra Monk asked, “Did the disciples of Immortal City Sect divert their course?”

One of his men replied, “They did not divert.”

The Mitra Monk was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, “Maybe they just suspect, they probably didn’t discover a significant situation. If they had truly discovered a significant situation, not only would people from the New City Sect would have followed us, but people from Immortal City Sect would have turned around as well.”

Shen Tian nodded and said, “We still don’t know how much longer it will take us to take down Immortal City, their arrival could affect our plan.”

The Mitra Monk was also considering this, saying, “Have the Zen Master come over as fast as possible, and let them think of a way to hold up the people from the New City Sect for us. We’ll figure out a way to conquer Immortal City as soon as possible.”

Shen Tian nodded and said, “Exactly, the Zen Master is supposed to come anyway, let them hold up the people from New City Sect. This should give us enough time.”

The Mitra Monk paused for a while and said, “Stop hiding, we will launch an assault on Immortal City at noon. Make a full attack, I want to take down Immortal City within two days.”

The disciples behind him nodded in agreement.

The Mitra Monk continued, “Our leader, who has barely haggled so much time for us, we can’t let the leader be disappointed. We are the mighty Army of Death, and Immortal City no longer has Taiji Array’s defenses. What is there are just some small devices, which you’ve encountered before. I believe they shouldn’t be a problem for you.”

The brutes had already started clamoring from behind, like they were about to take their revenge.

“Don’t be the ones still empty-handed when our leader breaks open Heavenly City on the other side. Our leader has created everything for us. Inside is only a heavily injured Su Hong. I think there can only be about a thousand people defending the city, certainly not your match. You all have fought countless battles, is there any situation you haven’t encountered?” The Mitra Monk continued, causing the men to roar as if they’re ready to surge forward that very moment.

Boom boom…. Several fireballs flew towards Immortal City, breaking the tranquility. Before it was even known what had happened, the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan did not approach via the main road. The Mutant Winged Dragon had previously discovered a secret path up the mountain during their time in Immortal City. Bypassing the main road, they came to the top of the mountain using that secret path under the cover of darkness.

Only when they appeared from the woods did the people of Immortal City Sect realize what had happened.

Jiang Ouyang hurriedly relayed the situation to Su Hong, who, despite his injuries, immediately rushed to the top of the city wall.

Yin Feng glanced at the densely-packed disciples of the Dragon Slaying Clan, and after a quick estimate, said: “There are at least 2,500 of them.”

“We’ve fallen into a trap. We must ask Ren Xiongbei and the others to return and help immediately,” a disciple remarked.

Jiang Ouyang said, “They set off towards Heavenly City this morning. Even if we use carrier pigeons to deliver the news, it won’t reach them until tonight. It seems Ye Chen’s worries were justified.”

“Enough talk. Start arranging the defense,” urged Su Hong.

Yin Feng noted, “It’s the most elite group from the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

Of course, Su Hong had realized this too.

With a fierce onslaught approaching, Su Hong urgently organized the defenses. He had to rally everyone, had to block the attack.

The situation in Immortal City quickly became extremely tense.

Facing the advancing masses of Winged Dragons, with their defense system already destroyed, left with less than 30% strength, they rely on manpower. In no time, the buildings near the city gates once again turned into a sea of fire.

Jiang Shizi relayed the situation to Guo Yuqing.

In a voice barely audible, Yuqing murmured: “So the true target of the Dragon Slaying Clan… is our Immortal City?”

“Yes, as of now, there’s not much doubt about it.”

“When will Uncle Ren and Zhan Ze be back?” She had heard that Zhan Ze and others were heading back.

Yet Shizi replied, “They won’t be back. They have shifted their direction towards Heavenly City. They won’t find out about the Dragon Slaying Clan’s surprise attack on us until tonight.”

“What? Didn’t Ye Chen and the others recall them?” Yuqing gasped.

“They probably believed that nothing had happened in Immortal City and continued on their journey to Heavenly City.”

“What do we do then? The delay back and forth has cost us so much time.”

“Yes, this is all part of their plot.”

“How many Dragon Slaying Clansmen are attacking the city?”

“About 2,500. They are all elites from the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

Luo Rui asked, “The Army of Death?”

“Yes, it’s the Army of Death.” Shizi confirmed.

“So, their true target is us, Immortal City Sect.”

“The Dragon Slaying Clan has split their forces, aiming for two targets. They’ve teamed up with the combined forces of monsters and evil spirits in Heavenly City, using the appearance of the Mutant Winged Dragon to attract the attention. Over here in Immortal City, the Monk Mitra and Shen Tian are in charge, leading the most formidable Army of Death from the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

“We don’t even have a defense system in our city, and there are just over one thousand defenders. Even if we conscript every able-bodied older generation, we’ll have about 300. We simply can’t withstand their attack,” Yuqing said.

“Yes, the front has already turned into a sea of fire. Sect Leader Su has asked Yin Feng to organize an evacuation via the secret passages of our Immortal City.”

“What, they plan to abandon Immortal City?”

“We don’t have a choice now. The situation in Immortal City could spiral out of control at any time. Sect Leader Su fears that he might not be able to hold them off. No one can guarantee what’s going to happen next. It’d be a good idea to evacuate the innocent. The event of Wasteland City turning into a sea of fire is still fresh.”

Yuqing was rendered speechless.

Shizi added, “There are too many people. If we don’t start evacuating some now, we might not have the chance later. That would be disastrous.”

Luo Rui nodded in agreement.

Yuqing said, “We must go and help.”

Shizi nodded as well.

“How is it possible that we had no knowledge of the Dragon Slaying Clan’s attack?”

Shizi explained, “They must have surveyed the area beforehand. It isn’t the first time the Dragon Slaying Clan has appeared here. They had lingered in Immortal City for many days last time, so they’re well acquainted with the landscape. They probably used minor trails to reach the mountains.”

Upon hearing that Immortal City was being attacked by the Dragon Slaying Clan, Ye Chen and the others quickened their pace, hoping to reach Immortal City as soon as possible.

When Ren Xiongbei heard that Immortal City had been besieged by the Army of Death, comprising over 2,500 men, he could hardly believe it. Zhan Ze, too, was left speechless. A frantic Ren Xiongbei didn’t know what to do. Even without any hindrance, it would take them three days to reach Immortal City.

Haotian said, “Don’t panic, didn’t members from the New City Sect set off this morning!? They move much faster than us. I believe they will make it back to Immortal City before the city falls.”
