Chapter 1893 – Battle of the Human Devil (VI)
”I see, then Elder Gu summoned us here to discuss how to reinforce the matter?” The red-faced elder said with a nod.
”Not bad. Yitian City is the only remaining stronghold in the vicinity of this city, so it cannot be saved. Moreover, during the last demonic calamity, this city had been resisting the demon race until the end unharmed. The reason why it is showing signs of weakness this time is just that it lacks some high-level cultivators to go and sit in the town.” Elder Gu sighed lightly.
”What Brother Gu means is that our Heavenly Abyss City doesn’t need to use too many people, we only need to send a few Harmonized Cultivators.” Zen Master Jin Yue’s gaze flickered as he asked thoughtfully.
”Not bad, that’s what the old me means. After all, Heavenly Abyss City is the ultimate goal of the demonic army in front of us. Even though we have to save Yitian City, we have to be even more careful of the other party’s trick of transferring the tiger away from the mountain. There is no shortage of low-ranked disciples in Yitian City, and its own defenses aren’t weak, so if we only send two or three Harmonious Body cultivators to support us, it’ll be enough to stabilize the critical situation over there, and it won’t weaken the strength of this city too much.” Elder Gu had obviously considered this long beforehand and said without thinking.
After listening to Elder Gu’s words, the other elders naturally whispered for a while, and mixed in some words of discussion.
But in the end, most of them still agreed with the white-robed elder’s suggestion.
After all, this kind of rescue method is also the most stable method in front of us. However, regarding the specific manpower to go to the rescue, there was a different argument between these elders.
”Brother Gu wants Little Brother and Fellow Daoist Yu to go and reinforce. I’m afraid that’s not appropriate! It’s not that I’m not willing to take the risk of going, but Brother Gu should know very well that Little Brother is in charge of that matter right now and is setting it up to the point of importance, so he really can’t get away.” A middle-aged man with snow-white eyebrows said with a frown.
Just now, Elder Gu had proposed that he and another Elder should go forward to reinforce Yitian City, but he had rejected it without hesitation.
”Brother Gu should also know about Mister Yu’s matter. The furnace of Fragrant Sky Pill in my hand is also being refined at a critical juncture, so once I leave it could be a lost cause.” The other elder, too, shook his head repeatedly.
”What about Fellow Daoist Qin and Brother Lei?” Elder Gu frowned and turned his head to ask about the other two.
As a result, those two elders came with the same difficult look on their faces.
”This is troublesome, the old man and Master Jin Yue are in charge of the general defense of Tian Yuan City, and are even more unable to leave.” Elder Gu was somewhat displeased.
”How about this! If Brother Gu is relieved, my concubine will run up a trip. I’ve been friends with the Heavenly Emperor Sect’s Fairy Lin for many years, so it’s only right that I go to help her out.” The eyes on the Silver Light Fairy’s mask flickered as she suddenly spoke in a clear and cold voice.
”What, the fairy is willing to go. This is really great. With Fairy’s divine ability, what’s not to worry about for old me. However, Fairy alone is still not enough, at least one more person must be sent.” Upon seeing Fairy Silverlight’s self-recommendation, Elder Gu was surprised and said with great joy. Then with a turn of his gaze, he subconsciously glanced at Han Li.
Seeing this situation, Han Li sighed in his heart, knowing that this errand is more than likely unable to avoid, immediately rose and said with an arch, “In my hands, the treasure is almost ready to be sacrificed, this trip to Yitian City, also counted on Han a how? Since I arrived in your city, I haven’t done anything yet, and my heart was originally a bit uneasy.”
”Brother Han is a mid-stage cultivator, and even once powerfully defeated a late-stage cultivator, so if he goes to support, Leaning Heaven City will naturally be even more worry-free. Then I’ll trouble you this time.” Seeing Han Li take the initiative to come forward, Elder Gu’s brows spread and he thanked him in a happy voice.
”The relationship between this Yitian City is not a small one, so it’s only right for Han to do a little bit of manpower. There’s no time to lose, I’ll go back and pack up a bit with fellow Daoist Silverlight, so how about we set off tomorrow!” Han Li smiled back.
Although this trip to Yitian City would directly confront the high-ranking Demon Race, with Han Li’s current aptitude, unless he ran into a Demon Race Sacred Ancestor and other ranked existences, how could the other Demon Race really pose a threat to him.
Therefore, although he knew that this trip might be a bit risky, he did not have any fear in his heart.
”There’s a lot of crisis over at Yitian City, so it’s good to leave tomorrow. However, now that all places have been blocked from long-distance transmission by the devil tribe, this city’s transmission array can’t send you two friends directly to Yitian City, and can only try to send you to the nearest hidden transmission point from Yitian City. For the rest of the journey, we will have to rely on you two to use the art of flight to get there on your own.” Zen Master Jin Yue said somewhat apologetically.
”It’s fine, with Brother Han and I’s abilities, the rest of the journey definitely won’t take the two of us long.” Silverlight Fairy spoke without a care in the world.
Han Li also smiled without putting it on his mind.
Since the support staff had already been selected, Elder Gu and the others were greatly relieved, and the following began to discuss some countermeasures to the increasing intensity of the demonic race’s attacks recently.
However, even though these old monsters were all very resourceful, they were still at a loss in front of the countless armies of low-ranked magical beasts. The various spirit stones stored in Heavenly Abyss City nowadays had also been reduced by more than one-tenth under the amazing consumption of countless spell formations.
It seems like there is still a lot left, but according to past practice, the outbreak of the demonic calamity will last for more than a hundred years. And now the demonic calamity outbreak is less than a year, how can this not let these elders for this great worry.
Han Li at this time, but suddenly smiled and said:
”There is no need to worry too much about this matter. The devil’s world of low-ranking magical beasts may be really endless, but the collection and taming of these magical beasts, I’m afraid that it will cost the ancient devil clan not a small amount of energy, and then these magical beasts from the devil world to bring to the human world, is by no means an easy task. After all, even though the power of the interface between the two worlds has been greatly reduced, there is still some remaining. Such a large number of low-ranking magical beasts is definitely a great burden to the demon race. Otherwise, why would those Demon Clans go to such trouble to try anything.”
”We are naturally aware of this matter as well. But the ferocity of this Demonic Tribulation is really a bit unexpected, and I really don’t know if Heaven’s Abyss City will be able to exhaust these Demonic Beast armies first.” Elder Gu said with a bitter smile.
”In fact, compared to the demonic beast armies and the high level demons that have already appeared, I’m more worried about the demonic saint ancestor bodies that will be coming to this realm in a few decades.” Fairy Silverlight, however, spoke with a heavy jade face.
”What does Fairy say!” Upon hearing this, Han Li’s expression twitched as he asked without thinking.
”In the past, once we reached the middle stage of the Demon Tribulation, the power of the interface wouldn’t be able to block the descent of the Demon Race Saint Ancestor’s main body. But for some reason, these Demon Race Saint Ancestors were not able to all descend to this realm, and only a handful of them could descend to the human realm each time the Demon Tribulation occurred. The human and demon tribes plus the Mahayana of several other nearby tribes joined forces, but also can fight with these Holy Ancestors. But this time, since the demonic calamity is so powerful, I’m afraid that the number of demonic holy ancestor is also very different from the previous one. Not to mention more, as long as the demon race descends a dozen or so Saint Ancestors, we, the human and demon races, will not be able to withstand it at all.” Silverlight Fairy slowly said.
”This kind of thing, in fact, fellow Daoist Jin Yue and I have also speculated about it before. But the Sacred Island side should have taken some precautions, so we just need to try our best to do our part.” Elder Gu was not overly surprised by Fairy Silverlight’s words, but instead said with a flash of coldness on his face.
”This is also true, there are many great minds of our two clans on the Sacred Island, and since they were able to predict that this Demonic Tribulation was extraordinary, I think that they must have a plan to deal with it as well. Since this is the case, my concubine will take her leave first and go back to make some preparations for the trip to Yitian City.” Hearing this, Fairy Silverlight’s jade face slowed down, and after thinking about it for a little while, she said her farewells.
Elder Gu and the others naturally did not disagree, and all rose to see them off.
Not long after the Silverlight Fairy left, Han Li also used the same excuse of preparing for tomorrow’s trip to say goodbye and leave.
Soon after, returning to his cave, Han Li immediately called the two disciples of Hai Da Shao to give him some treasures and pills, and after giving some serious instructions, he returned to the top floor’s secret room to meditate.
Although he thought that there shouldn’t be too much danger on this trip, keeping his mind in the best state before setting off would naturally be of great benefit.
After a night of nothing, early the next morning, Han Li flew alone straight to the Teleportation Spell Formation in Tian Yuan City.
A few hours later, he could see from afar that there was a masked, white-clothed woman standing there playfully outside the teleportation hall.
”I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, Fairy!”
As soon as the transportation light converged, Han Li’s figure bizarrely appeared next to this woman and said with a faint smile.
”Brother Han doesn’t have to be polite, my concubine also just arrived not long ago. Let’s set off now!” The Silverlight Fairy’s eyes swept over Han Li’s face before she said indifferently.
Subsequently, this woman took the lead and walked towards the Teleportation Hall, and Han Li followed without panic.
Transmission hall, there are several guardian guards respectfully waiting there, the moment Han Li two people came in, immediately rushed two people salute, and the head of the person respectfully said: “two seniors, the late generation has long been the teleportation array ready, a moment will be seniors will be teleported to the distance from the YiTian City probably months at the teleportation point. However, for fear of being discovered by the demon race, this teleportation point has not been opened since the outbreak of the Demon Tribulation. So please be careful when you two seniors teleport to the other end, just in case the teleportation point over there has been exposed.”
”In that case, if we go over there in a while, we might even be caught in an ambush by the Demon Race!” Silverlight Fairy raised her eyebrows and asked in a cold voice.
”Reporting back to senior, the place where the teleportation point is set up over there is exceptionally secretive, so it is reasonable to say that it naturally won’t be. What I said just now was just a word of caution!” That guard was aghast in his heart and hurriedly explained carefully.
”The teleportation array doesn’t have any problems, right?” Han Li calmly asked.
”There is absolutely no problem. Late generations have just tested it.” The head guard said with great certainty.
”Since there’s no problem with the teleportation, even if there’s a Demon Race ambush over there, Fellow Daoist Silverlight and I won’t take it to heart. Prepare to teleport immediately.” Hearing this, Han Li commanded without hesitation.
