Chapter 850 - 850 836 Breaching the Immortal City

Chapter 850: Chapter 836: Breaching the Immortal City Chapter 850: Chapter 836: Breaching the Immortal City Ren Xiongbei looked at the chaos engulfing Immortal City, which could lose control at any moment.

Qiao Haoyu said, “If we don’t leave now, they’ll escape and we won’t be able to, since we do need some people to stay behind and hold off the Dragon Slaying Clan, otherwise no one will escape.”

Dongfang Tang hurried over, saying as more monsters broke in, “We can’t hold them back, we really can’t, more and more monsters are getting in.”

“Dad, let’s go quickly, or it will be too late.”

Ren Xiongbei, looking at the darkening smoke ahead, said, “Alright, let’s hurry, we’re leaving.”

Dongfang Tang asked, “Should we tell Jiang Ouyang and the others?”

“Don’t tell them, if they panic, none of us will be able to escape,” Ren Haotian said.

Soon, Ren Xiongbei led his people to evacuate from another side.

Su Zhanze, seeing more and more monsters rushing in, now unsure whether to confront the monsters or the Sea Demon, cursed, “Where is that damn Ren Xiongbei? Why hasn’t he come over yet?”

Then someone said, “Ren Xiongbei has fled.”

In that moment, Su Zhanze was stunned and muttered, “That damn coward fled?”

“Sure, I just came back from there and saw him and his son, running away with their belongings,” they replied.

Yuan Jingxing, upon hearing this, said, “It’s not good, if they run away, we definitely won’t hold out, even if they didn’t run, it’s dubious if we could stop them.”

At this point, Su Zhanze’s mind was a blank, not knowing what to do.

Yuan Jingxing added, “We can’t handle this, we better think of an escape route quickly.”

Su Zhanze wanted to go down fighting with them, but what did he have to risk his life for, and why would they risk theirs with him? It was impossible.

Yuan Jingxing said, “I know you’re unwilling, but with the situation now, can you defeat the Sea Demon? Without the Defense System, we are completely ineffective. If this continues, once they overrun us, we won’t even have a chance to escape.”

By then, Jiang Ouyang also knew Ren Xiongbei had fled with his people and hurriedly called Su Zhanze over. Jiang Ouyang had by then regained his composure and said, “You go, take Zizi and Qing’er and leave.”

Yuan Jingxing looked stupefied and said, “No, father-in-law, you should take Zizi and the others and escape.”

Jiang Ouyang would not allow his daughter to be widowed and shouted, “It’s an order, Zhan Ze, you and Jingxing, take them and leave, I’ll cover our retreat.”

Su Zhanze said, “I’ll cover the retreat.”

“Stop dawdling, hurry up, take them and leave. I can hold them off for half an hour at best. Once you’re inside, blow up the tunnel behind you.” Immortal City was already in disarray; someone had to stay behind to stall the Dragon Slaying Clan, or else no one would escape.

Su Zhanze said, “Let’s all escape together.”

“That’s not going to work, someone must stay behind.” Jiang Ouyang knew, entrusting this task to someone else, he wouldn’t be assured. If he alone could allow more people to escape, it would be worth it.

“Father-in-law…” Yuan Jingxing tried to say something.

But was stopped by Jiang Ouyang shouting, “Stop dithering, you’re not a child anymore.”

Yuan Jingxing was at a loss for words.

Jiang Ouyang said, “Take good care of Zizi.”

Yuan Jingxing looked at Jiang Ouyang.

Jiang Ouyang said, “Go on, hurry. I can only buy you half an hour, take anyone you can.”

Facing the rampaging Sea Demon, no force could hold back; the energy released by the broken pillars couldn’t harm the Sea Demon in the slightest.

As more and more monsters stormed in, the chaos of Immortal City was inevitable.

Su Zhanze was still muttering curses at Ren Xiongbei, that spineless turtle. Not showing the slightest sign of a Sect Leader, he abandoned them without a word, and if someone hadn’t told them, they wouldn’t even know what was happening yet.

They were increasingly short-handed and began to abandon the city’s defenses, retreating towards the escape tunnel, resolved not to let the Dragon Slaying Clan block the only way out of the city. The gates of Immortal City were breached, but to take complete control quickly was not so easy; they needed time, and that time was precisely what they needed to escape.

Jiang Ouyang led a group of people, constantly retreating toward the tunnel, buying time for those escaping. The shrinking perimeter allowed them to concentrate their scattered manpower; at this point, saving as many as possible was the only option, and one thing was clear—the tunnel could not fall into the hands of the Dragon Slaying Clan.

Yuan Jingxing found Jiang Shizi, intending to escape with them. Jiang Shizi was stunned, realizing they could not hold out, and asked, “What about my father?”

“Don’t worry, everyone will come soon, let’s hurry and leave,” Yuan Jingxing could not reveal all the plans to Jiang Shizi.

Jiang Shizi believed him, seeing the increasing flames and the growing spread of fire.

Yuan Jingxing said, “Hurry, we might not hold out for long.”

People quickly led Jiang Shizi and Guo Yuqing into the secret passage.

Someone ran to inform Mituom Monk, “They are planning to escape.”

Mitra Monk had anticipated this, knowing for sure they would do so, and said, “What are you waiting for, then? Charge in and breach the city as quickly as possible.”

A large crowd surged in, slaughtering their way into the city.

Mitra Monk asked, “Who will cover our rear?”

“It seems to be Jiang Ouyang.”

An aide remarked, “I haven’t seen Ren Xiongbei.”

Someone laughed and replied, “Ren Xiongbei was the first to flee, he bolted without even engaging in the fight.”

The aide smiled coldly upon hearing this and commented, “It seems that Immortal City’s fate is sealed; there’s no saving it now.”

However, Mitra Monk said, “Even with Su Hong and Qiao Fanfeng here, they still couldn’t save Immortal City.”

The aide nodded and added, “They can’t deal with the Sea Demon, so they’re no match for us. It’s only a matter of time before we eradicate the Immortal Demon Realm.”

Another subordinate chimed in, “Whether we can capture them depends on Elder Xi Feng now.”

Mitra Monk smiled and instructed, “Send someone down the mountain to assist them.”

The aide nodded and immediately went to take care of it. Meanwhile, the city gates had been breached, and although they hadn’t gained full control over Immortal City, it was only a matter of time, and they no longer needed so many people.

Immortal City, painstakingly rebuilt over six months, was once again engulfed in flames.

At this time, who could bother with such things? The situation was becoming chaotic, and everyone rushed toward the escape tunnel.

When Ren Xiongbei led people through the first escape route, they were spotted by Elder Xi Feng and his men at the foot of the mountain, who quickly pinpointed their exit.

A subordinate reported, “It’s Ren Xiongbei.”

Elder Xi Feng saw him.

Another subordinate asked, “Should we give chase?” having spotted the tunnel just as Ren Xiongbei was leading a large group out.

“How many people?” asked Elder Xi Feng.

“Roughly four hundred.”

Elder Xi Feng considered the situation; catching up was obviously not possible, and capturing them wouldn’t be easy. Moreover, he only had a bit more than two hundred men with him, but he was convinced others would continue to escape. He said, “No, don’t chase after them; we likely wouldn’t catch up. Guard the exit instead; surely more will be coming out.”

The aide thought it over and felt it made sense.

Elder Xi Feng scorned Ren Xiongbei’s group, confident that others would still make their escape.

And indeed, Yuan Jingxing and his group, including Jiang Shizi, emerged from the tunnel, but they weren’t so lucky. By this time, their passage had been discovered, and Elder Xi Feng, lying in ambush outside the escape tunnel, had them surrounded.

Elder Xi Feng’s men quickly encircled them.

Jiang Ouyang had fought desperately and destroyed the escape entrance, indeed blocking Mitra Monk, but he didn’t realize Elder Xi Feng was waiting at the mountain base, along with a group of men, for the Immortal City Sect’s members.

Yuan Jingxing sought to break through, but without success. At this point, Su Zhanze, who was at the back, also came out.

Jiang Shizi, not seeing her father, didn’t know how to face her. It was only then that she realized her father had not escaped, and she burst into tears.

Meanwhile, a ferocious battle raged ahead.

Su Zhanze entrusted Jiang Shizi to Guo Yuqing and went forward to see what was happening, only to discover they were surrounded.

Yuan Jingxing declared, “We’ve been ambushed.”

“Ambushed? How would they know about our tunnel?” asked Su Zhanze in surprise. Indeed, even if they might have discovered the tunnel, it didn’t explain the large number of men waiting in ambush outside, which clearly indicated prior preparation.

Yuan Jingxing speculated, “It might have been when Ren Xiongbei and his lot escaped that they found our exit.”

Su Zhanze muttered angrily, “That damned Ren Xiongbei, just scum! Why doesn’t he come back to rescue us?”

A disciple behind them scoffed, “That fool, afraid of being surrounded, how could he come back a second time?”

Su Zhanze was so furious he was at a loss for words; all he wanted to do was curse.

Yuan Jingxing looked outside at the dark mass and cried out, “What do we do now? The way is blocked!”

A disciple reported, “The path behind us is sealed; there’s no going back.”

Su Zhanze was without any clue, and Ren Xiongbei wasn’t coming back to help them.

Yuan Jingxing said, “I’ve sent a distress signal. It’s been one hour, and I think that coward Ren Xiongbei is unlikely to come back and help us break out.”
