My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 849 Decision
Peak of the third level of the Divine Travel Realm!
This is Zuo Jiuyin's current cultivation level!
The power he was able to unleash was beyond the imagination of the hundreds of thousands of righteous cultivators present in the desolate city!

With one person's strength,
The attack shook the entire city!

At that moment,

All the righteous cultivators who looked up at the sky were plunged into a deathly silence.

For a moment,

A thought inevitably arose in everyone's mind: Could they really contend with such a figure?!
Although Wei Yuting, the current acting city lord of the Wilderness City, cannot read minds.
But I also know that

The impact of such a scene on morale!

"Junior brother! Do as you please from now on. Once the city's defensive formation is breached, don't hesitate or worry about anything else, just run!"

"Better safe than sorry!"

Wei Yuting only had time to leave two words of advice before she hurriedly transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the front line battlefield where the city defense was most intense.

at this time,
She, as the acting city lord of this desolate city, needs to step forward and boost morale in front of everyone to salvage the declining spirits.

In her haste to leave, Wei Yuting failed to see that...
Shen Changchuan watched her departing figure from behind, his gaze somewhat profound.

Until Senior Sister Wei's figure disappeared into the distance,
Shen Changchuan then looked up at the sky.

High in the sky,
The blood-red spear in Zuo Jiuyin's hand continued to gather terrifying power.

The intense sense of oppression was almost as if a mountain had collapsed, making it hard to breathe!
"Senior sister is right. There's no need for me to confront him head-on right now."

"Once I advance to the Divine Realm, I will be able to kill him as easily as killing a dog. Why should I risk my life against him when I am still weak?"

"Those who assess the situation and know when to yield are the wise ones. We can settle our scores today when we are much stronger!"

Shen Changchuan let out a long breath, closed his eyes, and comforted himself in his heart.

just,

When this thought arose

His fists clenched involuntarily.

indeed,

When we are weak, we avoid fighting.
Waiting until we are stronger in the future to retaliate is indeed the most reasonable and correct choice!

but,
Are you willing to accept this?!
That person was indeed powerful; the concentrated attack was incredibly strong, almost sweeping away everything.

But with your current strength, you might not be unable to fight him!

A 6.2% progress in comprehending the true meaning of time is something that even many cultivators in the mid-stage of the Divine Travel Realm might not possess!
And by combining the power of space with the true power of time at this pace,
So what if he's at the peak of the third level of the Divine Ascension Realm? He himself has always been able to contend with him!
In such a situation,

Are you really going to choose to flee without a fight?
You must understand that once the city's defensive formation is truly breached...
At this moment, the hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the Desolate City will likely become their dead!

It wasn't just the senior and junior brothers of the Dragon Sky Sect, nor was it just Senior Brother Wu Tianhao and Senior Sister Wei Yuting.
There were also the Third Elder of the Shen family, the Grand Elder of the Ancient Sword Sect, and countless other righteous cultivators from the Southern Tian region!
these people,
Once the city's defensive formation is breached, death is almost certain!
They might even become materials for Zuo Jiuyin's massacres and the collection of materials for refining demonic artifacts!

"call!"

Shen Changchuan let out a long breath and reopened his eyes.

The eyes, which had been somewhat confused, now became clear.

"I'm sorry, senior sister."

"I cannot turn a blind eye to this!"

Shen Changchuan's gaze followed the direction Wei Yuting had left.
At this moment, I became exceptionally determined!
"If I were just a regular late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, or even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, without any ability to change, then I would definitely run faster than anyone else! And I would have absolutely no psychological burden in the future!"

"Because my strength is what it is, I can't save anyone. Being able to save myself is already a stroke of luck. I have neither the ability nor the need to go and die in front of such a powerful enemy!"

"But I'm not like that now!"

"Zuo Jiuyin is very strong, so strong that it is almost suffocating, but with my progress in comprehending the true meaning of time, combined with the power of space, the powerful vitality brought by the Yi Wood Undying Scripture, and a divine soul comparable to the Divine Travel Realm, I may not be without the ability to fight him!"

"I clearly had the ability to fight them, but I didn't even try. I just deserted and left my fellow disciples and friends to die and fall into ruin. I let hundreds of thousands of people, both acquaintances and strangers, in the Desolate City become ghosts. If I really made such a choice, I'm afraid I would never be able to forgive myself!"

Shen Changchuan sighed inwardly.

Clearly, a decision had already been made in his heart.

My mood lightened at that moment.

although,

He actually agreed with what Senior Sister Wei said and accepted the choice she persuaded him to make.

but,

To avoid regretting it later, to avoid constantly blaming myself for not trying harder back then...
To avoid future mental deficiencies and being plagued by inner demons.

He absolutely cannot escape so easily!

"At the very least, I have to give it a try!"

"Whether they're a competitor or not, at least I tried!"

Shen Changchuan's lips curled up slightly at that moment.

If he has played,

But in the end, they were defeated and had to flee.

Ultimately, this led to the massacre of hundreds of thousands of cultivators, both acquaintances and strangers, within the desolate city by demonic cultivators.

He wouldn't feel any remorse.

He tried his best, but his lack of ability led to this result.

He will only turn this sense of powerlessness and hatred into motivation to work harder and become stronger, so that he can avenge this blood debt in the future!

But on the contrary,
Given a certain level of ability

If you turn around and run away without even fighting back, leaving the disaster to happen.

Especially Senior Sister Wei, Senior Brother Wu Tianhao, and all the junior brothers and sisters of the Dragon Cloud Sect will probably die because of this.

Then he probably won't be able to forgive himself in the future!
And this will become the most terrifying inner demon in his future cultivation process!

not to mention,
He possessed life-saving techniques bestowed upon him by his master.
Even if we are defeated, it probably won't pose much of a threat to our lives.

In this situation,

I don't dare to take the risk yet.

They dare not challenge powerful enemies.
Then why would he bother cultivating immortality?!
At this moment, Shen Changchuan's heart was more resolute than ever before.

"Gentlemen, the city learned of this person's attack several days ago and has already sent a message to Broken Soul City for help!"

"We only need to hold out for a day or two. Once the reinforcements from Broken Soul City arrive, these demonic cultivator brats will surely die!"

"Hold the city defenses! Don't give up!"

"Given the cruelty of these demonic cultivators, once the city falls, we will surely become their food and cultivation materials!"

"Anyone who doesn't want to die! Kill them all!"

"The city lord has arrived! The city lord will live and die with us!"

"Kill!"

Just as Shen Changchuan made up his mind, Wei Yuting had already arrived at the battlefield where she was directly confronting a large number of demonic cultivators.

As words of encouragement spread,

In addition, she herself was on the front lines of the city defense battle.
For a while,
The morale of the righteous cultivators around them soared!
"Lord Wei, you really do have a way!"

"In that case, as long as we hold out until reinforcements from Broken Soul City arrive, there shouldn't be any major problems."

In mid-air,

The Grand Elder of the Ancient Sword Sect flew to Wei Yuting's side, who had rushed to the front line. Looking down at the cultivators below whose morale had been rekindled, he spoke with a touch of emotion in his aged voice.

In war, morale comes first.

Whether it's a war between mortals or a war between cultivators, it's all the same!
"Once the city's defensive formation is breached, the entire city will likely become the dead souls of Zuo Jiuyin. Everyone is aware of this."

"All I did was give them a slight reminder."

"As for the support from Broken Soul City, that probably depends on whether that person gives us the opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yuting shook her head.

While talking,
She raised her head and looked up at the sky.
Through the golden light screen rising from the city's defensive formation at the top, one could see Zuo Jiuyin, who was still gathering and accumulating power in the sky.

Right now,

Wei Yuting couldn't help but frown.

Do not know why,

She vaguely sensed a sense of unease!
It felt like some kind of danger was about to strike!
That guy seems to be waiting for something!

"Is Lord Wei overthinking this? When this Desolate City was built, its purpose was to become a bridgehead for us righteous cultivators of the Southern Region to attack those demonic villains. It was built to a very high standard and was completed by bringing together the top forces of the cultivation world in the Southern Region."

"Among them, the city defense array built by the array master over half a year is so powerful that even a cultivator in the late stage of the Divine Travel Realm cannot do anything about it for a short time."

Compared to Wei Yuting's worries and anxieties, Gu Xuanqing, the Grand Elder of the Ancient Sword Sect, was much more confident.

He followed Wei Yuting's gaze to the figure of Zuo Jiuyin high above, and said with a smile:
"Zuo Jiuyin's strength is indeed impressive, but as long as we separate him from his subordinates and prevent them from attacking the city defense formation together, giving the formation time to breathe, then the formation's power will be more than enough to face a peak third level Divine Travel Realm cultivator!"

"I believe that as long as we hold the city's defenses and do nothing wrong, it's not impossible for us to hold out until the city's supply of spirit stones is exhausted!"

Gu Xuanqing stroked his beard, his aged voice filled with confidence.

It wasn't that he was careless or anything like that.

However, this occurred in the early stages of the righteous alliance of the cultivation world in the Southern Region invading the Southern Yue lands.
The righteous alliance members refused to enter the city and defended it.

They had experienced dozens, even hundreds, of counterattacks from the demonic alliance in the southern Yue region.

On one occasion, even the White Bone Demon, a peak ninth-level Divine Travel Realm expert, personally attacked.

However, they were still blocked outside the city by the city's defensive formation until You Longzi returned to reinforce them and repelled the White Bone Demon.

"It's not that I underestimate Zuo Jiuyin, but even the White Bone Demon couldn't do it back then, and he's just a mere peak third level of the Divine Travel Realm."

Gu Xuanqing was speaking with a smile.

But the next moment,
His words caught in his throat, and he couldn't say anything more.
Beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

because,

The light screen of the city's defensive array overhead flickered briefly.
It's like the signal has been cut off.

Immediately afterwards,
The entire array of light suddenly vanished!
City defense formation

Stopped!
