Chapter 203: Reinforcements Arrive and Bad News
"Sigh~ We should still withdraw from here!"
Elder Xu looked at the situation outside, even though he was a False Core Ancestor, he also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He immediately called out to Qin Ming, preparing to use a Teleportation Talisman to teleport out of Azure Sea Immortal City via the Teleportation Array.
Qin Ming couldn't wait for the other party to use the Teleportation Array.
In fact, he was already somewhat impatient. "What Elder Xu says is right, let's leave quickly!"
Right at this moment!
*Zheng!* A dazzling Heaven-Shocking Sword Light transformed into a white silk ribbon dozens of yards long. With the force of destroying dry weeds and rotten wood, it traversed the long sky and arrived in an instant! The Tier 3 Earth-Quaking Bear King was engaged in a fierce battle with True Person Cang Hai, when suddenly a Sense of Crisis arose from behind!
Thus, it abandoned its fight with Nalan Xi and quickly turned around to cast a Demon Technique to resist! *Puchi!*
Even with its thick skin and coarse flesh, it was still struck by this exceptionally fierce Sword Qi, and a shocking gash was cut open on its chest.
Countless Demon Beast blood spurted out like a fountain.
As the number one sword of Wei Kingdom, Wei Wuyai saw blood with every strike after achieving Golden Core, and his opponent was still a Tier 3 Demon King! Roar! The Earth-Quaking Bear King was shocked and enraged. It raised its head to look at the newcomer, and saw a man with a tall crown and jade-like face, flying towards Immortal City like a divine sword unsheathed.
Before the person arrived, the sword had already arrived first.
Following closely behind was another Core Formation Grandmaster from Profound Stream Valley.
True Person Cang Hai and Profound Rain Ancestor, who were fiercely battling the Demon King, sensed that the newly advanced Golden Core Old Ancestor Wei Wuyai of Thunder Origin Sect, and another Golden Core from Profound Stream Valley had come to reinforce them.
Their tense nerves also relaxed immediately.
Even Qin Ming and the others from Pill Cauldron Pavilion, who were just preparing to run away from the Teleportation Array, turned back and stopped in their tracks.
Xu Yue revealed a look of pleasant surprise and shouted, "Ancestor Wan has come to support us!"
"And Old Ancestor Wei of Thunder Origin Sect!"
Elder Xu raised his head and looked at the Battle Situation, letting out a long sigh of relief, and exclaimed, "This critical Situation can finally be resolved."
"No need to Teleportation away."
Qin Ming also looked in the direction of the voice.
Above the Sky of Immortal City, along with the Human Race side, there were two more Golden Core additions.
The battle between the Upper Levels, which was originally in a precarious Situation, was instantly reversed.
Especially Wei Wuyai, who achieved Golden Core with a Heaven-Grade Spirit Root, his Strength far surpassed ordinary Golden Core Cultivators. With one sword strike, he severely injured the Earth-Quaking Bear Demon King.
And Ancestor Wan, who had come with him from Profound Stream Valley, also possessed extraordinary Mystical Power. The four Golden Cores joined forces and quickly worked together to beat the three Demon Kings into a complete retreat.
They even chopped off one of the Bear King's bear paws.
At this point, the three Demon Kings saw that the Situation was unfavorable, and they all fled, escaping back to the Beast Roar Mountain Range.
The Demonic Beasts below came quickly and retreated quickly as well.
They also followed their respective kings and retreated like a tide.
The defending Cultivators of Azure Sea Immortal City seized the opportunity to annihilate all the Demonic Beasts that had rushed into the city.
However, in the Northwest District of the Outer City, the Formation was breached, bearing the brunt of the attack, and suffering severe damage. The nearby Cultivators suffered heavy casualties.
Fortunately.
Due to the timely support of Wei Wuyai and Ancestor Wan, the Inner City and Core District were spared from being greatly affected by the Demonic Beasts.
Qin Ming looked at the Outer City outside, filled with the smoke of battle, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Little Friend Qin, now that the crisis in Immortal City has been resolved, please come upstairs for a chat."
"The people of Immortal City should handle the subsequent matters."
Elder Xu's Expression returned to normal, and he made a gesture of invitation towards Qin Ming.
Qin Ming nodded and followed the two upstairs to Pill Cauldron Pavilion.
In any case, the Beast Tide had just retreated, and it would probably not be safe for him to leave the city now. He might as well wait and see how things developed before making a decision.
The three sat in the Room Interior, drinking Spirit Tea, and slowly recovered from the chaos just now.
"It still depends on the two Golden Core Old Ancestors of our sect coming to Wei Kingdom for reinforcements, otherwise Immortal City would probably have been unable to survive this Tribulation!" Elder Xu sighed with emotion as he drank Spirit Tea.
Xu Jing on the side also nodded gently.
But Qin Ming frowned tightly, as if he was pondering something.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, are you worried about something?" Xu Jing asked as she poured Tea for him.
Qin Ming took the Tea and said somewhat uncertainly, "This Beast Tide seems a bit strange!"
"As far as I know, the three Demon Races that attacked Immortal City this time are distributed in very distant places within the Beast Roar Mountain Range."
"But judging from the Situation just now, the three Demon Races were unprecedentedly united, as if someone was commanding them from behind."
"Even the three leading Demon Kings were able to put aside their past grudges and attack Immortal City together. ""I have heard that historically, the Earth-Quaking Bear Clan and the Deer Clan have always been irreconcilable, but now they have gathered together…"
Elder Xu and the other two suddenly realized this. Listening to Qin Ming's analysis, a terrifying guess suddenly arose in their hearts.
"Could Fellow Daoist Qin mean…"
"The previous collapse and retreat of the Beast Tide back to the Beast Roar Mountain Range was just an illusion, and behind it, there might be even more powerful Demon Race driving it?"
Qin Ming nodded noncommittally.
Elder Xu and Xu Jing's moods, which had just recovered, were suddenly shrouded in another layer of gloom.
"Sigh! This matter still needs to wait for the two Old Ancestors of our Valley to return. This old man will also inquire about it and listen to their views."
According to Qin Ming's speculation, if the Situation was really so severe, then their Pill Cauldron Pavilion industry in Azure Sea Immortal City might have to be abandoned and evacuated as soon as possible.
That way, they could still reduce some losses.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist, my visit this time is to purchase a batch of Spirit Material from your pavilion."
"And also, I have a jar of Jade Unicorn Wine and some Pills for sale."
The previous topic was indeed a bit heavy.
Qin Ming immediately changed the topic and said to Elder Xu and his granddaughter.
"Oh~ Haha, I almost forgot the Serious Matters!" When Elder Xu heard Qin Ming's words, a bright light instantly appeared in his eyes.
Next.
The heavy atmosphere in the Room Interior eased slightly.
Qin Ming listed a list according to his needs and made a large purchase. It not only included the Auxiliary Ingredient needed to refine the Void Piercing Pill, but also some other items that would be used for daily Cultivation.
Because Qin Ming had a premonition that after this incident, he might not come to Azure Sea Immortal City again for a long time… 'Once upon a time, the Cultivator Sanctuary had also become the center of the storm.'
The Trade ended.
Both parties were in a much better mood.
Especially Qin Ming, who facilitated another large Trade in Pill Cauldron Pavilion. Not only Xu Jing, but even the Elder showed a smile.
"Sigh! This old man observes Little Friend Qin's Pill Refining Talent, and it is not inferior to Grandmaster Gongsun Yang of our Valley."
"I think Little Friend Qin is not far from Breakthrough to the Tier 3 Grandmaster realm, right?"
"I wonder, three years later, when the Pill Tower of our Valley reopens, whether we can select a few Disciples with excellent Talent in the Dao of Alchemy."
Qin Ming's heart suddenly moved when he heard this, three years later?
Immediately, his Expression returned to calm, and he replied modestly, "Tier 3 Grandmaster is still too early for Qin Ming."
The three then chatted about other topics.
After half a cup of Tea.
*Dong dong dong!* Suddenly the door was knocked by a servant, who then respectfully reported:
"Reporting to Elder Xu, there is a Foundation Establishment Senior with the surname Lü outside the Shop, who has an urgent matter to see Senior Adept Qin."
Qin Ming frowned upon hearing this, then informed the two of them, "Please wait a moment, you two, I will go downstairs to see what it is about."
Then Qin Ming quickly went downstairs.
As soon as he entered the Main Hall, he saw Lü Wan Jun covered in injuries, crying like a weeping pear blossom. Seeing Qin Ming come down, she disregarded her injuries and stepped forward to perform a bow, choking with sobs, "Fellow Daoist Qin, (sobbing), my master is dying…"
"His last… wish is to see Fellow Daoist Qin one last time."
Qin Ming's Expression suddenly changed upon hearing this news.
"Huh?! Brother Lü, he…"
Too many Cultivators died in Azure Sea Immortal City today, but he never expected that even Lü Liang, who was at the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage, would be among them! "What exactly happened?"
"Please quickly take me there."
Although Qin Ming's Connections with Lü Liang were not very deep, they were still acquaintances.
Lü Liang had also helped him a lot, and he had quite a good impression of this master and Disciple pair.
…
Under Lü Wan Jun's lead.
The two arrived at a Camp Tent in the Outer City of Azure Sea Immortal City.
The moment he entered the Camp Tent, he saw Lü Liang lying on the bed, his breath as weak as a thread, his face as white as paper. There were two fatal penetrating wounds on his chest and abdomen, and Fresh Blood was still gushing out.
Qin Ming used his Divine Sense to investigate the other party, and saw that Lü Liang's Sea of Qi Dantian had been shattered by a huge force.
His Cultivation was completely destroyed, and even Immortals would find it difficult to save him.
There was no hope of recovery… 'Sigh~ In this cruel World of Cultivation, if one is not careful, even if one is in a high position, one cannot escape death and Dao dissipation if one is slightly careless.'
