[Master Chongyang] The news that Du Chongyang is coming to Beitingzhou to cultivate immortality is not known to many monks.
This is to prevent the Holy Demon clone in the Demon Realm from escaping the Demon Realm in advance and lurking after learning the news.
As the real driving force behind this demonic disaster, if the holy demon clone cannot be eliminated, the demonic disaster may occur again at any time.
Of course Zhou Yang is not on the list of people who need to be concealed.
After Xu Tianlin and Nie Yushuang came out of the secret room, they conveyed the good news to them and other monks who had participated in the expedition to the Demon Realm, so that they could settle down and continue to stay in the Ice City to guard this place and serve as the vanguard of future counterattacks against the Demon Realm.
Zhou Yang didn't care whether he would take the lead as a vanguard, he was more concerned about meeting [Chongyang Master] Du Chongyang.
As a cultivator who aspires to overcome tribulations and become an immortal, of course he desperately wants to meet such a living, true immortal.
He would be willing to get an opportunity to meet the true form of the True Immortal in the Tribulation Stage, not only to let him participate in the counterattack against the Demon Realm, but also to have him fight that black giant beast again.
Not only him, but also many monks who heard the news, including Master Qingyang, were all excited.
When the [Tian Tian Splitting Demon] brought chaos to the immortal world of Liuyun Continent, although the [Chongyang Master] Du Chongyang also took action, there were not many monks who could actually see his true appearance at that time.
Even late Nascent Soul monks like Xu Tianlin and Guo Huaiyang were not able to see his true form because they were not present at the time.
Although Master Qingyang was at the scene at the time, due to the distance, when he learned the news of the appearance of [Master Chongyang] and rushed over to see the true immortal, the other party was already chasing after [Split Heaven Demon]
Left the battlefield.
So this time after hearing the news that [Chongyang Master] Du Chongyang would personally come here to lead the cultivators to counterattack the demon realm, the cultivators who were originally panicked and worried because of the appearance of the holy demon clone calmed down.
Everyone believes that once the true immortal in the Tribulation Period is willing to take action, there will no longer be any suspense to quell this demonic disaster.
This is the long-standing admiration for those who are truly at the top level of the "Linghuan Realm" and the confidence in representing the ultimate power of immortality.
In the "Ling Huan Realm", the true immortal who has transcended the tribulation period is the strongest power of the immortal path and the pinnacle that all immortal cultivators pursue.
Since ancient times, there has never been a disaster in the "Ling Huan Realm" that could not be quelled after the intervention of the True Immortal in the Tribulation Stage.
This time, there will be no exception!
However, just as all the cultivators were gearing up and waiting day and night for the real body of [Chongyang Master] Du Chongyang to arrive in the Ice City, news about the demonic cultivators attacking various spiritual mountain blessed places spread like snowflakes from all directions.
In just half a month, dozens of spiritual mountains were massacred by demonic cultivators, which directly led to the death of a Nascent Soul monk and a dozen Jindan monks.
Thousands of monks have perished.
After Nie Yushuang received messages asking for help from various forces for several days in a row, she had to call Xu Tianlin, Guo Huaiyang, and Zhou Yang together to discuss countermeasures.
Ever since that day when Zhou Yang exposed the seventh-level immortal weapon [Suzaku Fan], he was regarded as a late-stage Nascent Soul monk in the eyes of other Nascent Soul monks, and the treatment he received was completely different from before.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, Fellow Daoist Guo, and Fellow Daoist Zhou, the three fellow Daoists must have known about the fact that the demonic cultivators were massacring all the spiritual mountains in our Beitingzhou Immortal Realm in the past few days. I don't know what the three fellow daoists think of this matter.
?”
In the cave, after Nie Yushuang, Zhou Yang and others arrived, he didn't say much nonsense and directly asked the three of them what they thought of the demon cultivator massacre.
Now in this ice city, there are still eleven Nascent Soul monks from Liuyun Continent’s Immortal Cultivation World, which is one-third more than the number of Nascent Soul cultivators stationed here from Beiting Continent’s Immortal Cultivation World.
Therefore, even if Nie Yushuang is a landlord and a monk at the ninth level of Nascent Soul, "Half-step True Immortal", when he needs to use these Nascent Soul monks, he still has to obtain the support of Xu Tianlin, Guo Huaiyang, Zhou Yang and other leaders.
.
If Zhou Yang and the other three people did not agree, it would be difficult for him to mobilize any of the immortal cultivators in Liuyun Continent to work for him.
At this time, hearing Nie Yushuang's question, Zhou Yang and the other three people couldn't help but look at each other. After secretly communicating through sound transmission, Xu Tianlin came forward and answered: "We thought this was an act of a demon cultivator jumping over the wall in a hurry. They
Knowing that after we learn about the existence of the Holy Demon clone, we will definitely report this matter to Senior Chongyang, so we will be so crazy about killing and arresting immortal cultivators to serve as the blood food of the Holy Demon clone to help it condense into a true demon body.
!”
After Nie Yushuang heard his answer, she immediately nodded her head and said: "What Fellow Daoist Xu said is true, and Nie thinks so too, so Nie thinks that we must not sit back and watch the demon cultivators' massacre, and we must not let their conspiracy
If you succeed, stop the plan of the Holy Demon clone to condense the body of a real demon at any cost!"
After the words "no matter the cost" came out of Nie Yushuang's mouth, the expressions of Xu Tianlin, Zhou Yang and other three people opposite him changed slightly, and they did not accept his words for a while.
Why no matter the cost?
Zhou Yang and others' previous expedition to the Demonic Realm and deep investigation into the Ice Sea Demonic Abyss could only barely be described in these four words.
And the results of that operation were obvious to all. In just one day, eight Nascent Soul Stage monks died there!
Now Nie Yushuang wanted to plan such an action again and shouted the words "no matter the cost". This made Zhou Yang and the others dare to agree so easily.
Therefore, after a moment of silence, Xu Tianlin shook his head slightly and said: "We can understand Fellow Daoist Nie's eagerness to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, and we are willing to help and support him. However, going out to fight in the city is of great concern, and it also involves the lives and safety of other fellow Daoists.
, I must discuss this matter with other fellow Taoists before I can give Fellow Daoist Nie an answer."
Of course, he couldn't directly refuse Nie Yushuang's proposal. That would not only lose the other party's face, but also chill the hearts of all Beitingzhou immortal monks.
But he couldn't just agree to Nie Yushuang's proposal. That would put the lives of Master Qingyang and other Yuanying monks in the Immortal World of Liuyun Continent who were not present today at risk, which would also chill the hearts of these people.
Therefore, he put aside Nie Yushuang's proposal for the time being and delayed discussing the matter with the monks who were not present, which was his only choice.
For Nie Yushuang, Xu Tianlin's answer was not beyond his expectations.
Therefore, after listening to Xu Tianlin's words, he did not show any disappointment, but said with a heavy face: "Nie understands Fellow Daoist Xu's concerns, but the war is urgent. I also ask Fellow Daoist Xu to discuss a result as soon as possible and give Nie an answer as soon as possible.
."
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Nie, I will definitely give you an accurate answer to this matter within today."
Xu Tianlin cupped his hands and responded solemnly.
Immediately, Zhou Yang and Guo Huaiyang followed Xu Tianlin and left Nie Yushuang's cave, and then summoned Master Qingyang and other Nascent Soul monks to Xu Tianlin's cave to discuss the matter of leaving the city for support.
As expected, after listening to Xu Tianlin's retelling of Nie Yushuang's words, some practitioners immediately stood up and objected fiercely.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, we absolutely cannot agree to this!"
Zhou Yang looked intently and saw that the monk who stood up and objected loudly was none other than Ning Shiqi, a middle-stage Nascent Soul monk who had previously participated in the expedition to the Demon Realm. He was a middle-aged man who looked quite majestic.
He looked at Xu Tianlin with excitement and said loudly: "We have traveled thousands of miles to come here to support the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World. In less than half a year, we have experienced two bloody battles. The eighteen fellow monks who came here together
As a result, a full 40% of them were killed!"
"Those are seven Yuanying monks!"
"It's good now. The body of our Taoist friend who died last time is still cold, and he Nie Yushuang wants us to continue to go out and fight with the demon cultivators. Could it be that his cultivators in Beitingzhou's immortal world are human beings, and we are not human beings? I'm waiting for you.
Isn’t life valuable?”
He shouted loudly with a heartbroken look on his face, full of grief and anger.
"Ning said this not to defend his greed for life and fear of death, but to tell fellow Daoist Xu that we can no longer be used as fools!"
After Ning Shiqi finished speaking, he bowed to Xu Tianlin with clasped fists and then stepped aside with an ugly expression.
As soon as he stepped back, another monk in the early stage of Nascent Soul stood up and cheered loudly: "Well said, what you said, fellow Taoist Ning, really spoke out Chang's heart!"
"From Chang's point of view, since Senior Chongyang is coming, we can just wait for him to arrive and launch a counterattack together!"
"As long as Senior Chongyang can kill the holy demon clone, and as long as we can destroy the demon realm, the loss of some middle and low-level monks is completely acceptable!"
This Yuanying monk surnamed Chang was seriously injured in the battle in Demon City and has not fully recovered yet. It is not surprising that he made this statement at this time.
With the statements of monks Ning and Chang, among the remaining monks, another middle-level Yuanying monk named Che immediately stood up and said: "Che also thinks that we can't go out to fight in the city. The current behavior of the demon cultivators jumping over the wall is just right.
Exposing the panic in their hearts, I am waiting to go out to fight in the city, but it actually complies with their wishes and gives them a chance to give us another heavy blow before Senior Chongyang arrives!"
"As for the fact that Nie Yushuang is worried about the Holy Demon clone condensing the body of the real demon by devouring blood food, we cannot say that it is impossible, but Che thinks that as long as we shrink all the Golden Elixir monks and Nascent Soul monks to six places everywhere,
Coming from Jie Ling Mountain, just relying on those middle and low-level monks as blood food, even if they capture tens of thousands of people, the effect will not be as good as ten Nascent Soul monks!"
The higher the cultivation level of an immortal cultivator, the higher the requirements for the concentration and purity of spiritual energy. This is the same for demon cultivators.
A blood demon cultivator in the golden elixir stage may be able to absorb and refine all the essence and blood of a foundation-building immortal cultivator, which can be worth a month of practice.
If it were a Nascent Soul stage demon cultivator, all the essence and blood of a Foundation-building stage immortal cultivator might not be worth the effect of practicing for three days in an environment like the Ice Sea Demonic Abyss.
For a being of the level of that black giant beast, only by devouring the blood essence and golden elixir of monks above the golden elixir stage can it gain power far beyond what it can gain from its own breathing practice.
Therefore, although the words of the monk surnamed Che are cruel, they are not unreasonable.
But not everyone can be like him, Ning, and Chang, the two Nascent Soul monks, who watched helplessly as a large number of middle and low-level monks were captured by demonic cultivators and used as blood food.
Therefore, after they finished expressing their opinions, Master Qingyang frowned and objected loudly: "I do not completely agree with the opinions of these fellow Taoists."
He looked directly at Ning, Chang and the others, and said in a deep voice: "What is the purpose of coming to the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World? Isn't it to help the monks and mortals in the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World from being slaughtered by demon cultivators? Now I know it. The demonic cultivators are slaughtering monks and mortals outside, but several fellow Taoists say they want us to stand by and watch. Doesn’t this run counter to our original intention of coming here?"
"What fellow Taoist Qingyang said is absolutely true!"
Shen Menglong of the Yuqing Taoist Sect also stood up to support Master Qingyang and said in an impassioned voice: "I have not traveled thousands of miles to come to Beitingzhou to cultivate the immortal world. I am here to eliminate demons and defend the Tao. If I do evil to demons, If you turn a blind eye to your actions, how can you have the dignity to shout this slogan again?”
When Ning Chang and others heard their righteous words, their faces suddenly turned blue and white, angry and angry.
Ning Shiqi immediately shouted: "Who said we are not willing to eliminate demons and defend the Tao? We just don't want to die in vain!"
The monk surnamed Chang also stared at Master Qingyang with an ugly expression and shouted: "Fellow Taoist Qingyang, didn't Chang's injuries occur when he fought with demon cultivators? It is indeed the duty of monks like us to eliminate demons and defend the Tao. The premise of defending the Demonic Way is to be able to win, otherwise it will not be about eliminating the Demonic Way and defending the Way, but seeking death!"
The monk surnamed Che said coldly: "Che still said the same thing. If Senior Chongyang takes the lead in launching a counterattack against the Demon Realm, Che will be the first to sign up without saying anything!"
"But Nie Yushuang couldn't even defeat a [Sky Master], so he asked Che and him to go out of the city and fight against the demon cultivator who didn't know the details. Please forgive Che for not being able to obey!"
"Okay, Xu knows the opinions of fellow Taoists. Now let's listen to what Xu has to say!"
Xu Tianlin quickly interrupted the argument between the two parties to prevent the situation from getting more serious.
He glanced at the fellow cultivators and said slowly: "Actually, what you fellow Taoists said is very reasonable, but Xu thinks that we should not only consider our own safety, but also the general trend when doing things."
"If we go by what Fellow Daoist Ning and others say and we ignore Fellow Daoist Nie's request and sit on the sidelines, not only will it hurt the hearts of Fellow Daoist Nie and all the monks in the Beitingzhou Immortal World, but we will also be unable to explain to the upcoming Chongyang Master! "
"Furthermore, if Fellow Daoist Nie and others fail to fight outside the city, wouldn't it strengthen the power of the demon cultivator? If the holy demon clone succeeds in condensing the body of the real demon, then the people who will suffer in the future will be far more than just the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World. Got it!"
"Of course, what Fellow Daoist Ning and others said is not completely unreasonable. We have helped the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World a lot in two bloody battles and made great sacrifices. There is no reason for us to do anything for others. Fight to the death.”
"Therefore Xu suggested that this time we can send some monks out of the city, but not to fight bloody battles with the demon cultivators, but as a diversionary force to prevent the demon cultivators from continuing to slaughter and transport prisoners!"
"In this way, we can not only pay homage to Fellow Daoist Nie, but also protect our own lives as much as possible!"
