Junior sister took first place again

Chapter 183 Before the War

In the largest tent in the Abyss Battlefield, the core figures from the major immortal families in the four states gathered at this moment.

Everyone was either standing or sitting, frowning in thought. The atmosphere was a bit heavy, and the camp of nearly a hundred people was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The officer who had fought bravely in the battle during the day was also here. He was tall and straight, and looked to be about thirty years old. He had a handsome and resolute face, and his temperament was also very outstanding, making it impossible to ignore his presence.

This officer's name was Wu Jun, a native of Zhongzhou. He came from Zhujian Villa and was the fourth owner of Zhujian Villa. When he was young, he was also a well-known sword cultivator in the world of cultivation who loved to challenge everywhere.

His current identity is the commander of the third battalion of the Abyss Guard Army, and he is the immediate superior of the Cui brothers and sisters.

Commander Wu was sitting upright in his seat at this moment, with his left arm hanging somewhat unnaturally.

A closer look revealed that he had rushed too far forward during the daytime battle and had a high-level demon accidentally bite off a piece of his flesh the size of a bowl.

Although he had just been treated by disciples of the Bishui Sect, the wound was still very horrific.

Even so, he was still fully armed, but he had retracted the left sleeve of his silver-white armor to cast a spell.

His weapon, a long sword called "Pojun", hangs on his waist.

The sword is completely black with strange patterns and designs on it. Because it has drunk too much blood recently, it is still sharp even in the scabbard, emitting a cold sword energy.

Of course, it wasn't just Commander Wu. Everyone in the camp was now filled with a murderous aura.

After a long silence, someone finally broke the silence.

Yan Xi looked around and said seriously, "Everyone, who is willing to be the first to fight Ling Ru?"

The person who spoke was one of the two grandmasters who was redeployed to guard the abyss after the two traitors who had previously guarded the abyss were killed.

He sat upright at the head of the table, his face solemn and serious, his voice deliberately low and powerful.

Even so, most people would avoid looking at him if they could.

It’s not just because of that bewitchingly perfect face, but more importantly, Yan Xi is a charm cultivator who was born in the Hehuan Palace.

And his identity is of great importance - Yan Xi is the favorite disciple of the Palace Master Wushuang Xianzun, and the Sect Master Yan of Fuhua Sect, the head of the three sects of Hehuan Palace. He has been in charge of Hehuan Palace for many years.

Not only that, Yan Xi is now the immortal with the highest cultivation level in the abyss - the sixth level of the Mahayana period.

The Unparalleled Immortal Venerable has returned to the palace and taken power again since the meeting at Hanshan. He was also the first to discover the abnormality in the abyss, so one of the new guardians must be someone from the Hehuan Palace.

Considering the current severe situation in the abyss, which requires only those with outstanding cultivation abilities to be competent, the Unparalleled Immortal Venerable decisively waved his hand and asked his eldest disciple Yan Xi to come and guard the place.

There is nothing to worry about with him in the palace, and Pei Youzhi can handle the affairs of Fuhua Gate as usual.

Therefore, after Yan Xi asked, it was not that everyone lacked the composure to look at him.

But his cultivation level was there. Even though he had a stern face and deliberately displayed a fierce aura, the mental interference of the top charm cultivator still existed.

Except for a few people present, once everyone looked at him, they could not look away and concentrate on the meeting.

Everyone exchanged glances, and after looking at each other for a while, an elder from the Tianyuan Sect spoke first with some worry:

"Master Mingjing, it's not that we're afraid of fighting. It's just that you're the only one left of the two Grand Masters. Lingru's fighting power is no less than Xunfei's. We have no chance of defeating her."

"What's more, we must also guard our respective defense lines and not move without authorization. With all this going on, how can we fight?"

"Yes!"

Yan Xi turned his head and looked at Officer Wu, who was fifth from the lower left, and continued:

"The border has now ceased fighting except in the Abyss. This time, the number of high-level monsters in the Abyss has increased again, and the pressure is several times greater than before. The young disciples in the rear are simply unable to fight in a battlefield of this level and make fearless sacrifices."

Wu Jun said this, emphasizing his tone and saying in a deep voice: "We need regular reinforcements!"

"Brother Wu is right."

Commander He Qi of the Fourth Battalion also spoke up, "Ling Ru's declaration of war is due at 11:00 AM tomorrow morning, which is still four hours from now. If you, the True Lord, ask for help from the rear now, there's still time."

"Otherwise, even if we dispatch our forces to confront Lingru, we can only delay her from crossing the defense line. Once a breach is breached, even death will be a foregone conclusion for us."

The other people around also began to agree. This was not an excuse, but the reality of the abyss was just like this.

After the demons on the northern border retreated, more than two-thirds of the high-level demons were brought to the abyss by Lingru.

The demons were not afraid that the immortals would invade Jizhou. The fact was that the immortals did not have the extra energy and manpower to attack Jizhou.

Therefore, the pressure on everyone in the Abyss Battlefield suddenly increased.

In particular, after the grandmaster sent from Qingzhou was killed by the Lord of Shuoyue City, the morale of the Immortal Sect dropped visibly.

Although the Lord of Shuoyue City was also seriously injured when he killed the great master, the Abyss Battlefield has a geographical advantage for the demons. Coupled with the demons' terrifying self-healing ability, after the war starts tomorrow, it will not be easy for Yan Xi, who has been commanding the overall situation in the rear, to face him.

So now there is another Crescent Moon City Lord who is as powerful as him, and the Immortal Sect can't find a commander to fight against her. It is really sad.

It is no exaggeration to say that the defenders of the Abyss Battlefield are fighting alone.

After everyone finished speaking, Yan Xi nodded slightly. He understood that everyone's concerns were not unreasonable.

However, time is of the essence and a decision must be made now.

"In that case, I will immediately write a letter, requesting swift support from my master and other sects."

Yan Xi made a prompt decision and said, "But before that, we can't just sit there and wait for death."

He said, his eyes sweeping across the crowd with determination, looking at the two people dressed in aristocratic families in front of him on the right, and said:

"The two Cui Immortal Lords have brought a lot of people with them this time. If the situation is critical, could you work with Zhong Immortal Lord to hold Lingru back for a while until reinforcements arrive?"

Cui Chengqi stood up and said, "My two brothers will definitely do our best to live up to your trust!"

Zhong Wei also stood up and agreed.

Seeing this, everyone bowed in thanks.

There is no other reason, because these three people came to the front line to help voluntarily.

However, the situation of the two brothers of the Cui family is slightly different.

These two people are the fathers of Cui Ying and Cui Jingyou. Because the two "rebellious daughters" and "rebellious sons" were disobedient and now refused to leave the abyss and go home, the Cui brothers brought people here to kidnap them and take them home.

Yan Xi showed a relieved smile on his face. He also stood up and returned the greeting to the three people.

"Thank you all very much. That concludes today. Everyone, please return home to rest and recuperate in preparation for tomorrow's battle."

"Farewell."

Everyone stood up and went out one by one and returned to their tents.

Although the situation was difficult, everyone felt a little relieved under Yan Xi's coordination.

Cui Chengruo and his eldest brother flew towards the beautiful tent they had pitched in the back. On the way, he kept chattering with a bitter face:

"Brother, I told you that nothing good would happen if you came here, but you insisted on showing off. Now you're riding a tiger and it's hard to get off. That's one of the four city lords of the Demon Realm! Lingru is a lunatic. The two of us, just mere Spiritualization Stage cultivators, are going to die against her."

Cui Chengqi was very regretful at this moment, but he was determined not to show it, so he acted like an older brother and said unhappily:

"Look at your useless appearance. No wonder the ancestor let Cui Muyan succeed to the throne."

Cui Chengruo whispered, "You sound like you've been abandoned by the ancestor."

"What did you say?"

Cui Chengqi said loudly.

Cui Chengruo waved his hands repeatedly, "Nothing! You heard wrong, big brother, please continue to tell us how we should deal with Lingru."

"Deal with it!"

Cui Chengqi vented his anger without regard for his manners, and immediately regained the composure of a young man from an aristocratic family and said:

"Didn't you hear what Master Mingjing said? That's called procrastination! Besides, with Zhong Yi here, you and I can't be the main force. At most, we can assist him from the side and throw a few more stacks of talismans."

Having said that, he glanced sideways and continued, "You've almost taken away all the talismans and magical instruments in the warehouse."

Cui Chengruo smiled bitterly and said vaguely, "No, how can I get in there without the permission of the patriarch?"

Cui Chengqi didn't comment, but patted his shoulder and said:

"In short, don't worry. Even if Zhong Xi can't defeat Ling Ru, he still has a lot of valuables. Besides, the situation in the abyss is so critical, reinforcements will surely arrive soon, maybe even before dawn."

Cui Chengruo thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Zhong Xi is a descendant of the Xuanling Sect's leader, and he is so talented. He must have a lot of life-saving items on him. If he just helps to delay Lingru for a while, the three of them together can still be sure of success.

"Big brother is right. Let's get some rest first and put on a good show tomorrow. We can't let those two brats get too proud and forget their place after just one trip."

After thinking it through, Cui Chengruo went to rest with a calm mind.

No wonder Cui Du would rather have a group of grandchildren around him instead of choosing his children with higher cultivation.
