Chapter 391 - 391 378

Chapter 391: 378 Chapter 391: 378 When Ren Xiongbei heard that the Heavenly City Sect had abandoned Heavenly City, he found it hard to believe.

Jiang Ouyang said, “It’s true. When the Heavenly City Sect saw the Dragon Slang Clan and members from the demonic realm pressing upon Heavenly City, and knowing they couldn’t expect timely help from the Immoral Realm, it seemed they knew they couldn’t hold on. That’s why they abandoned Heavenly City.”

Hao Tian asked, “Did they give up without fighting back?”

Jiang Ouyang remained silent.

“How could they do that? It was said that the Army of Death is attacking our Immortal City, not theirs!” Hao Tian argued.

Jiang Ouyang said, “They were probably fooled by the Dragon Slang Clan. With the Dragon Slang Clan bringing a large group of people, the Heavenly City Sect couldn’t tell who was real and who wasn’t; they feared they all would die in the city, so they fled. It’s understandable. And with the Immortal Realm so far away, their fears were not baseless.”

“But they can’t just hand over Heavenly City like that!”

“What’s the use of saying these things now? We have run out of retreat routes in the Immortal Realm. If we make another mistake, everything will be lost. We’ve lost Immortal City and Heavenly City, and only have Demon Palace City left. The only good thing is that we haven’t lost many men this time. We still have some strength left, enough for a fight.”

Ren Xiongbei asked, “Did you relocate the people, who didn’t stay in our city, to the foot of the mountain?”

Jiang Ouyang nodded, “Yes, I think it’s necessary to move them to Demon Palace City for now. I plan to leave tomorrow.”

“We’ll escort you there.”

Jiang Ouyang expressed his worries, “I’m afraid that’s not possible. Mitra Monk has switched his direction towards Heavenly City. I think they are likely to join forces with Mutant Winged Dragon and the people from the demonic realm to target Qiao Fanfeng and Guo Mingyu.”

Qiao Fanfeng and the others would likely have dangers. You need to go there. We can’t afford any more accidents. If anything happens to them, do we have the strength to fight back?”

Ren Xiongbei was rendered speechless.

Jiang Ouyang continued, “I will lead them to safety. The Dragon Slang Clan will not bother with the elders and the weak, and I still have two-three hundred men at my disposal. You just take the people from New City Sect and get there, before Qiao and his group are surrounded.”

“At such a critical moment, if we are careless and let things happen, the Immortal Realm will truly be beyond saving.

Ren Xiongbei asked, “When did Mitu Monk and his men set out?” He had already pulled himself together.

“It’s this noon. You better hurry before something else happens.”

“Do you know if they plan to attack the Demon Palace?”

“I don’t know. But you better quickly meet up with Qiao and his group. I don’t know if a decisive battle will happen, but you definitely need to carefully strategize.” Jiang Ouyang continued, “I will take the people out of the Immortal City for now. Even if we don’t go to the Demon Palace, I will bring them to a safe place.”

The night grew deeper. Yu Qing was consoling Su Zhanze, who found it hard to accept that his father was dead and was overcome with guilt. He was determined to take his revenge and internally pledged to kill the Mutant Winged Dragon himself.

Ye Chen was pondering — what would the Dragon Clan do next? He racked his brains over and over again not to miss a single detail!

Before Qiao Fanfeng and the others arrived, the members of Heavenly City surrended the city. The Sect Leader’s final letter was delivered to Qiao’s hand. It was shocking news that the Immortal City and the Heavenly City were both breached. The massive news shocked Guan Yi and the others.

They can’t believe it’s true.

Guan Yi asked, “Is this for real?”

Qiao Fanfeng knew there was no need to hide the truth, and it was something they can’t hide. He confessed, “It’s true. Mitu Monk led the Army of Death to attack Immortal City. They must have prepared a long time for this. They secretly avoided our sight, sneaked in through a secret path, and finally arrived outside the Immortal City. Ye Chen and the others tried to rush over, but they were stopped by the people of Zen Master, so they failed.”

Guan Yi asked again, “What about Sect Leader Su?”

“My senior brother is dead.”

The others were shocked to silence, and they began to comfort him, urging him to mourn properly.

Qiao Fanfeng could recite the content of the letter by heart now.

Wan Shatong, the Sect Leader of Qingxuan Sect, cursed angrily, “Damn that Fang Ziren! He gave up on Heavenly City without even resisting for six hours.” If he knew they were going to abandon the city, he wouldn’t have come.

Guan Yi said, “We can’t put all the blame on him. They thought that Mutant Winged Dragon only brought members of the Dragon Clan and didn’t know the Army of Death wasn’t among them. Plus, they allied themselves with the demonic realm, and since they believed we couldn’t get there in time, that’s why they abandoned the Heavenly City.”

“But they should have at least tried to resist.”

“Talking about this now is pointless. We need to find them right away and unite. The situation is different from a few days ago. The alliance then was superficial, between the Mutant Winged Dragon, demons, and the netherworld. But now, they have not only aligned more closely but have also agreed on conditions. Heavenly City and Immortal city have both fallen at the same time.”

Everyone was silent, speechless.

Guo Mingyu said, “Clearly, the situation is dire for us. We have no room to retreat.”

Only Demon Palace City remains.

Someone asked: “Will they attack Demon Palace City?”

Guo Mingyu replied: “According to Ye Chen, the Mitra Monk and the Army of Death are heading our way, planning to team up with the Mutant Winged Dragon along with the demons and netherworld, to take us out. They would like nothing more than to swallow us whole.”

“What about the people from the New City Sect?”

“They’ll try to get here as soon as possible. But we must be careful not to fall into any ambush. A false step could incur grave consequences, especially now that the Dragon Slaying Clan has teamed up with the underworld. They’ve got plenty of manpower, and with Sect Leader Su’s death, we’re at a disadvantage.” Demon Palace Master Guo Mingyu said.

Guan Yi said: “We should find Fang Ziren and others.”

Guo Mingyu added: “Right, we need to find them. We need to unite, especially given the current situation. We can’t afford to scatter.”

Someone retorted: “What’s the point in finding those cowards?”

“We can’t say that. We need to unite, not just look out for ourselves. Regardless of their actions, we must understand.” Guo Mingyu knew that manpower was scarce and that the Heavenly City sect had quite a number of people.

Wan Shatong said: “Are they truly not going to attack the Demon Palace?”

Guan Yi said: “Our defense system in Immortal City was lost allowing them an easy victory within two days. However, Demon Palace City still has its defense system in place, so it won’t be that easy.”

Wan Shatong said: “We have to be cautious and fortify Demon Palace City as soon as possible. We cannot allow another city to fall. If Demon Palace City breaks, there will be no refuge for us.”

Song Zheng’an, the Sect Leader of Nine Leaves Sect, also said: “Yes, we must be vigilant and prevent such a disaster from happening again.”

Someone asked: “Now that Heavenly City is gone, should we leave this place?”

Guo Mingyu replied: “We need to find Fang Ziren and his group, and meet up with them before leaving.”

Someone fiercely suggested, “We should confront the Dragon Slaying Clan and the forces of the netherworld once and for all.”

Guo Mingyu said: “It’s unwise to rush into battle just after coming out of two major upheavals. We need to regroup, discuss thoroughly, and then decide. The battlefield also plays a crucial role. Whether the showdown happens here or at Demon Palace City, we’re still at great risk. After all, the Army of Death is heading our way. I suspect that they want to destroy us before Ye Chen and others arrive here.”

“They’re not powerful enough to do that.”

Guo Mingyu said: “We can’t be careless anymore. Our current predicament is a result of our negligence. We underestimated the Dragon Slaying Clan and believed that they would flee after their defeat, because of which we ended up in this situation. Immortal City has turned into a sea of flames. Sect Leader Su is dead. How much longer can we hold out? We need to remain calm. Only then can we prevent any further mistakes!”

Guo Mingyu had read the letter Su Hong sent to Qiao Fanfeng. He understood Qiao Fanfeng’s intention and agreed with Su Hong’s suggestion. At the moment, the top priority is a calm, highly intelligent person who can lead us to defeat the Dragon Slaying Clan. This is not child’s play; lives are at stake. There’s no room for retreat anymore.

“Alliance Leader, you should say something,” Guan Yi suggested.

Qiao Fanfeng was still in shock from Su Hong’s demise. He couldn’t pull himself together immediately. He couldn’t believe that it was all true.

Qiao Fanfeng lifted his head and said: “As Guo suggested, let’s find Fang Ziren first. We can’t let the Dragon Slaying Clan find him before we do. Also, be careful not to get surrounded by them. When it comes to the matter of the battle, we will discuss it when the people from New City Sect arrive. Let’s return to Demon Palace first.”

Everyone disbanded quickly.

Guo Mingyu saw the grief in Qiao Fanfeng’s eyes and consoled him, saying: “Don’t dwell. Things will get better.”

“I really don’t know what to do. I’m clueless about how to deal with these changes.”

“Not just you, I feel the same. None of us anticipated how quickly this all happened.”

“I can’t foresee Mutant Winged Dragon’s next move,” Qiao Fanfeng continued. “I think you need to reinforce Demon Palace City immediately.”
