Chapter 499: For the sake of false glory, they don’t have the slightest chance
This day was a day of despair for Heavenly Lu City. Even if it was the day when many of the powerhouses from the Upper Realm attacked the city, they were far from being so desperate.
The entire ancient city was shrouded in an aura of despair. All the cultivators and creatures were apprehensive and terrified. They saw figures across the sky, leaving Heavenly Lu City.
Even if some supreme powerhouses ordered that it was strictly forbidden to retreat in battle, it was of no use. These cultivators were from various races and were not bound by these supreme beings.
On the contrary, after the order was given, more cultivators and creatures escaped and everyone was fleeing Heavenly Lu City. It seemed that as long as they left this place, the Upper Realm would not really invade.
People were treacherous and unpredictable.
In just a few days, the number of cultivators and creatures in Heavenly Lu City had decreased by nearly half, and the number was still decreasing continuously. It probably wouldn’t be long before Heavenly Lu City becomes a dead city.
Later, only a few powerhouses from a few clans were left.
This included the Four Great War G.o.d Clans. They seemed to be the backbone of the entire Eight Desolations and Ten Regions, and the entire Heavenly Lu City. At this point, they coincidentally still refused to back down and wanted to fight to the death with the Upper Realm.
Such a scene made many cultivators and creatures admire them, feeling that this was indeed the clan of the Four War G.o.ds and that the rest of the clans were many times worse than them.
In this way, many people’s hearts were also stabilized. Their prestige in Heavenly Lu City, and even in the entire Eight Desolations and Ten Regions, had been increased several times by taking this opportunity.
Many powerful casual cultivators arrived one after another.
“I’m ashamed of the love you have given me, for treating my family so highly.”
“However, Heavenly Lu City’s army has been reduced by almost half. If Heavenly Lu city is destroyed, I am afraid that we will all be buried under the army of the Upper Realm.”
“However, my family is willing to defend this place for the sake of Heavenly Lu City and the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions!”
On the tall altar in the center of Heavenly Lu City, there stood several figures with incomparably terrifying auras. The aura of each person was extremely ancient, and the sun was shining brightly, exuding a powerful pressure.
At this moment, one of the figures opened his mouth, his face was old but his eyes were as bright as the sun with a righteous aura and a terrifying aura that made it hard to look at.
Under this altar, all the people in the Heavenly Lu City were standing and they looked like a torrent. They all listened to all of this with solemn faces and felt a sense of awe in their hearts.
Compared with the other clans who abandoned the city and fled, the behavior of the Four Great War G.o.d Clans was not only admirable but also impressed them even more. Even at this point, they had not given up on Heavenly Lu City, and they had not given up on everyone, and they were worthy of the t.i.tle of their Four Great War G.o.d Clans.
“So this is the plan of the clan? What’s the difference between doing this and surrendering to the Upper Realm? For this false glory and face.”
But among the crowd below, a figure with a firm face seemed to be stunned, it was Lin Wu.
At this moment, Lin Wu had a complicated expression and clenched his fists. Naturally, he was also among the crowd who did not retreat. Hearing the words of the figure above, he couldn’t help feeling a little dazed.
That terrifying figure was the Enlightened being of their clan, and his seniority was extremely old. A few days ago, he also heard that the clan was discussing how to avoid this disaster safely.
What they thought was not to unite everyone to fight against the Upper Realm, but how to survive in this critical moment without compromising the glory of the family. Therefore, the major events that happened in Heavenly Lu City in the past few days were actually secretly guided by their family.
The news that the major ethnic clans were about to abandon the city and flee was also spread through their hands. This made Lin Wu’s back shudder, and he suddenly understood why those forces in the Upper Realm would be so disdainful and contemptuous of the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions.
The various ethnic clans of the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions had become so corrupt that there wasn’t even a need for the Upper Realm to take action, they could be easily disintegrated with just some rumors.
“In such Eight Desolations and Ten Regions, why is there any need to wait?”
Lin Wu smiled wryly, thinking of what he had done to survive and save Luluo during this period of time, many emotions became clear, and suddenly became firm again.
“Song Chan should be able to touch the core of the formation at this time… As long as I get the core of the formation, I will leave Heavenly Lu City and look for Gu Changge. Since he promised me, at this time, he should not break his promise.”
Lin Wu looked into the depths of Heavenly Lu City and his eyes flickering expectantly. He no longer expected anything from Heavenly Lu City or the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions.
But when Heavenly Lu City was in chaos, everyone from the Upper Realm was almost in a state of watching a show. All the powerhouses of the immortal forces noticed the armies and powerhouses who left Heavenly Lu City during this period.
This aroused everyone’s interest. They didn’t expect that Heavenly Lu City hadn’t been breached yet. Yet, the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions had already started to abandon the city and escape.
“It’s really ridiculous. This is the so-called Eight Desolations and Ten Regions. The descendants of a group of exiled people are born with crimes in their blood.”
An ancient existence sneered, his figure was like a tower facing the sky, towering and terrifying, standing at the end of the world.
“It seems that I don’t need to take another shot. This day, Heavenly Lu city will fall on its own.”
Gu Changge did not expect such a sudden scene from the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions. Although he guessed that someone from the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions would abandon the city and flee at a critical moment.
But he never expected that the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions would start to panic and start fleeing before Heavenly Lu City was breached. In this way, it would be easier for him to break through Heavenly Lu City.
“At the latest half a month, Heavenly Lu City will be destroyed.”
He squinted his eyes, guessing in his mind when Lin Wu would take the core of the Heavenly Lu City’s Formation.
“Seeing this scene, how do you feel?”
Afterward, Gu Changge looked at Heavenly Maiden Tianlu beside him and asked with raised eyebrows. She had been silent for the past few days, especially after witnessing what happened in Heavenly Lu City with her own eyes, and didn’t say a word.
“What I want to protect is the Heavenly Lu City left to me by Master, and it has nothing to do with the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions.”
Heavenly Maiden Tianlu’s crystal clear eyes fell on his face when she heard the words, she shook her head and said. She couldn’t tell how she was feeling right now.
Before this, she never thought that many ethnic clans who were always united and fought against the Upper Realm would abandon the city and flee at this time, leaving Heavenly Lu City all alone. This made her very disappointed and even made her sigh.
She didn’t blame those ethnic clans, after all, the life and death of Heavenly Lu City has nothing to do with them.
After they fled, they still had a place to go, and they could migrate with their families. But Heavenly Lu City was different, if the city was destroyed, people would die, people would flee and the city would be destroyed.
Apart from her, there was probably no other person in this world who cared so much about Heavenly Lu City.
“It’s pathetic…”
Gu Changge smiled lightly, and stretched out his hand to her flawless beauty, “If there is no me, how would you have planned to protect Heavenly Lu City?”
Although Heavenly Maiden Tianlu was strong, she was only an Enlightened being and could resist several fellows from the Upper Realm at most.
Once Heavenly Lu City was destroyed, all the ethnic clans from the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions would retreat, she would be caught in a dilemma, either stick to the end and destroy herself with Heavenly Lu City or abandon the city and flee.
Considering her character, she would definitely stick to the end.
Heavenly Maiden Tianlu’s eyes drooped, and she seemed to feel a little sad, and said, “I’m useless, I can’t protect Heavenly Lu City that Master left to me.”
If she hadn’t chosen to surrender to the Upper Realm, not only would she be dead, but Heavenly Lu City would also be turned into a pile of ruins. Therefore, it could not be said to be lucky or unlucky.
Just like today, all the forces and sects from the Upper Realm knew that she was Gu Changge’s person, so even after Heavenly Lu City was destroyed, they would not dare to wantonly burn, kill and destroy.
“I think Master must be watching me. He probably didn’t even think that I would be able to protect Heavenly Lu City by surrendering to a man from the Upper Realm in the end.”
There was a faint smile on the corner of Heavenly Maiden Tianlu’s mouth, she couldn’t tell if she was laughing at herself or sighing.
“Then you should be lucky that you met me.” Gu Changge smiled lightly.
Heavenly Maiden Tianlu’s eyes were sparkling, her face was flawless and her skin was gleaming. She hummed softly, and suddenly she took the initiative to wrap her arms around his arm and moved closer.
In the blink of an eye, half a month pa.s.sed quickly. In a misty and rainy pavilion in Heavenly Lu City, surrounded by formations, two figures sat facing each other.
It was Lin Wu and Song Chan, but at this moment Lin Wu’s expression was rather dignified, staring at Song Chan in front of him, and said in a deep voice, “Did you get that thing?”
Compared to Lin Wu’s solemnity, Song Chan was much calmer and more indifferent.
Hearing this, she nodded and said, “I got it, but there are eight formation cores in Heavenly Lu City, and I can only take out one of them at present, if the other seven are touched, it will definitely attract the attention of others. ”
With her current status as Heavenly Maiden Tianlu, she is also extremely cautious, not daring to make any big noises.
As she spoke, she took out a mysterious object sealed in a special bronze box from her sleeve. A sense of surging and vastness was conveyed from it, and there were strands of the meaning of the world flowing through the gaps. The sun was shining brightly, incomparably blurry, but it was very eye-catching.
“You only got one piece?”
Lin Wu frowned, but still heaved a sigh of relief, and said, “One piece is fine, since that’s the case, then it’s not too late, let’s go.”
He felt that one or a few formation cores were of little significance to Gu Changge. Because as long as there was a problem with any part of the formation outside Heavenly Lu City, it would cause problems in the operation of the entire formation.
Song Chan glanced at him with a complicated expression, and said, “If I do what you said, can I really see Master?”
Although she knew what Lin Wu did, she was also a little selfish. But, many ethnic clans in Heavenly Lu City had decayed to this point. Even if they tried their best to protect all of this, in the end, they probably wouldn’t get the slightest good reputation. They would be blamed and ridiculed by these ethnic clans. Therefore, it was better to follow Master’s decision.
Confidence appeared on Lin Wu’s face, and he said, “Don’t worry, I have already figured out the way out these days. When the two of us leave from a teleportation altar, we can go directly to the sh.o.r.e of Jiekongyuan.”
“When I get there, I have a way to contact Gu Changge.”
He still hadn’t forgotten the mark that Gu Changge left on his mind back then. Hearing what he said so confidently, Song Chan also nodded and felt relieved. Now in Heavenly Lu City, she and Lin Wu were just the younger generation, not conspicuous and attracting attention.
Then the two left from the secret pa.s.sage in the pavilion, hiding their bodies all the way, and rushed to a certain altar.
And on the city wall of Heavenly Lu City, the powerhouses of the major ethnic clans that were left behind appeared, standing there, surging with energy and aura undulating there like an ocean, shrouded in chaos, planning to take the initiative to attack the Upper Realm.
Although they knew that they didn’t have the slightest chance of winning this battle.
“Anyway, after today, we would have a legitimate reason to retreat.”
“In this way, no one will blame me for waiting.”
Several beings with very ancient auras were talking with each other with confidence and sneers, they had already calculated everything. However, it was all through the communication of divine thoughts, and the vast fluctuations manifested in the sky, sending out terrifying means like a vast ocean.
