Chapter 386 - 386 373 Tonight Is Farewell

Chapter 386: Chapter 373: Tonight Is Farewell Chapter 386: Chapter 373: Tonight Is Farewell Speaking now, Ren Xiongbei would be pointless. The only option was to rush back to Immortal City. However, night had already fallen, and distress signals from the city were constantly pouring in. Even if they possessed wings, it would be impossible to fly back that quickly.

Haotian could only pray, “I believe that with Zhan Ze’s father there, they must be able to hold out. Surely they can hold out for two or three days.”

He could only deceive himself like this.

In order to gain as much time as possible, apart from eating and resting, Ye Chen and the others used most of their time on the road. They knew Immortal City was in dire straits.

Li Mo chuckled coldly, “They should learn their lesson. Otherwise, these people will always believe that we are overreacting. They think we are only trying to scare them and that it will harm them.”

Ye Chen said, “Enough, no more crude talk.” He didn’t want anything to happen to Immortal City. He really didn’t. He knew how ruthless the Dragon Slaying Clan could be. If they got a chance, Immortal City would be finished. He didn’t know if the people in Immortal City could hold out until they got back. They could only try their best.

Kong Sha remarked, “If they had listened to our Sect Leader, they could barely make it back. How could they be in such a passive situation? This round trip wasted a whole day. Just one day could save Immortal City. The cost is too great.”

“Stop talking. We just need to find a way to rush back.”

“We don’t have wings. We can’t fly faster just because we want to.”

Ye Chen said, “Rest as soon as possible. We need to hit the road early tomorrow.”

“Disobedience needs a lesson. Without some cost, how can people be educated?” Li Mo said and turned away, heading elsewhere.

Jiang Zhuge said, “Ye Chen, don’t worry too much. After all, Su Hong is in Immortal City. He will act cautiously.”

“No matter how cautious he is, the situation is clear. The most he can bring along is a thousand people, while the enemy commands an Army of Death of over two thousand five hundred, not to mention an unknown number of monsters.”

Can Mo nodded, “Yes, their Defense System is ruined. If it wasn’t, it could have been a little effective. Now it’s completely useless.”

Kong Sha said, “The enemy just wants to exploit this weakness.”

Ye Chen was speechless.

“This Ren Xiongbei, how could he act so childishly after all that we told him? If he didn’t want to return, he should’ve told us directly at the time. Why did he leave after we left? If they had initially told us that they didn’t want to return to Immortal City, allowing us to go directly there, it would’ve been fine.” Can Mo shook his head. If it were the New City Sect, they would’ve rushed back to help by now, adding a thousand more people to the defense. The situation would’ve been completely different.

Kong Sha said, “Blaming anyone now is useless. If there’s blame to place, it’s on them. They created this situation for themselves. They should bear the consequences of their city’s destruction on their own. Only then will they fully realize what they’re confronting in the face of such a formidable adversary.”

Yu Yun said, “Could you please not speak like that?”

Kong Sha scoffed, “These people need a beat down. A good thrashing is the only way to wake them up. If you don’t give them a thrashing, they won’t understand what kind of demon they’re up against. They still believe we would collaborate with the Dragon Slaying Clan and that we’re just playing them.”

Yu Yun was at a loss for words, she asked, “Ye Chen, what should we do?”

Kong Sha said, “What else can we do but rush back? I don’t know if we’ll make it, but I hope they can hold out until we get there. There’s no better solution.”

Ye Chen said, “Go to sleep quickly and don’t think about anything.”

Kong Sha was right. Ye Chen didn’t see this coming either. Blaming anyone now would be futile. They could only blame themselves for being too trusting of Ren Xiongbei. He was astounded that Ren Xiongbei could do this.

By midnight, the Dragon Slaying Clan troops eventually retreated for rest. The eastern side of Immortal City had become a sea of flames, leaving nothing behind. Yet, Su Hong and Jiang Ouyang had managed to stand their ground and had not allowed Immortal City to fall. It was no small feat. Today, they abandoned the burning houses and concentrated on holding back the Army of Death. It took great effort.

It appeared that the Dragon Slaying Clan troops were tired too. After all, they weren’t machines and needed rest. However, as soon as dawn broke, the battle would undoubtedly resume. Su Hong looked around, knowing that the time left for the Immortal City Sect was running out.

Yin Feng brought the news from a carrier pigeon, “The people of the Immortal City Sect turned back in this morning. They will rush to Immortal City as quickly as possible.”

But Su Hong refuted, “No, we can’t completely rely on them.” He was unsure if his disciples could withstand another day.

Jiang Ouyang understood what Su Hong was thinking.

Su Hong continued, “We should be prepared to evacuate the city. We shouldn’t entirely count on them. I don’t know if we can withstand another day tomorrow. Today, we lost three hundred men. It doesn’t seem like a lot, but there are many injured.

Whether we can withstand tomorrow, I really don’t know. Jiang Ouyang, tonight, escort the elderly, weak, and children to safety. In the second half of the night, evacuate all you can without delay.” He was prepared for a city breach.

Jiang Ouyang said, “Sect Leader, you should lead the evacuation. I will stay. Our fate is tied to Immortal City.”

“No, you all descend the mountain, you lead them down.”

“No, the Immortal City needs its Sect Leader alive even more.”

Su Hong glanced behind. Most of these people would stay behind as companions in death. He couldn’t just worry about himself. He had to stay and said, “I am the Sect Leader, I decide everything.” He was not willing to give up completely. He did not know what the situation would be tomorrow or whether he could defend Immortal City. But he still wanted to try. If Jiang Ouyang stayed, he had no confidence left. He could only stay himself.

“My Sect Leader.”

“Enough talk, protect our people.”

“And what about the Hell Gate?”

The Hell Gate hides most of the demons. However, fearing this day when some demon would breach the city, they had already found a way. Forcing open the Hell Gate might lead to self-destruction, releasing powerful energy. No one dared to do this.

Su Hong shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, Mitra Monk, doesn’t have the ability to open the Hell Gate. He wouldn’t dare force it open. If we have a chance later, we’ll take it back.” The Hell Gate had been modified. It had powerful energy inside. If the energy was insufficient and without the key, forcing it open would result in self-destruction.

“I think it’s better for me to stay.”

“Don’t argue with me anymore. Help me get my wife out and take care of our people from Immortal City.”

Jiang Ouyang was speechless.

“I still have some reluctance. I want to try, to see if I can hold on for another day.”

Jiang Ouyang understood Su Hong’s intention, and also knew the danger here.

“They need me, I have to stay here.” Su Hong looked at the ruined area behind him, tears already welling up in his eyes.

“Take care, tell Qiao Fanfeng to let Ye Chen lead them. Tell him it was my order.” He took a letter from his chest and handed it to Jiang Ouyang, saying, “If I really can’t wait for the rescuers, give this letter to Qiao Fanfeng.”

“I see. Rest assured.”

“Alright, our people from Immortal City must stay. The destruction of the city doesn’t matter. As long as the people are still alive, we can start again. If there are no people left, then there’s nothing left.” He must guarantee the safety of those people. This night was the last farewell.

Outside the Immortal City, disciples of the Dragon Slaying Clan, who had been fighting for half a day and night, stopped.

Shen Tian said, “People of the Immortal City might take advantage of the night to send away irrelevant people.”

Mitra Monk said, “That’s unavoidable. The Immortal City has been built over so many years, they have many passages to the foot of the mountain. We don’t know how many exits there are, even if we find one or two, we can’t stop them.”

“Yes, we can’t stop them.”

“Our goal is to breach the city, to completely destroy the Immortal City, to show the people of the Demon Domain the consequences of opposing us, the Dragon Clan, intimidating the entire Demon Domain.” Mitra Monk said.

Henchmen behind them said, “It should have been like this from the start. As long as we take Immortal City and then Heavenly City, only Demon Palace will be left. By then, we just need to find a way to take the Demon Palace down and they will become homeless.”

“Don’t think so much. First, find a way to take Immortal City.” Mitra Monk said, “The disciples from the New City Sect are rushing here.”

“Aren’t the Zen Masters holding them back?”

“We don’t know if they can hold them back.”

“Don’t worry, you should trust in the strength of the Army of Death. We will take Immortal City as a matter of course tomorrow. We can definitely cause them to die there.”

“Don’t talk so much. Let’s talk about taking Immortal City tomorrow.” Mitra Monk said.

“What about the people who escaped from Immortal City?” someone asked.

“We can’t manage that now. Let’s use all our strength to take down Immortal City tomorrow.” Mitra Monk didn’t want to hesitate and end up with nothing. He added, “After taking Immortal City, those people won’t be able to run far.”

“Did you hear that? Our leader said our first task is to breach Immortal City, to turn Immortal City into a sea of fire. Then we will deal with other matters. Rest now, we need to start the battle when dawn breaks.” Shen Tian said.

The sky was dark and heavy, filled with the scent of death. The night became extraordinarily long. Feng Nianmei did not want to leave, but Su Hong would not let her stay.
