Chapter 248 Critical Situation

The abbess of Jingci Temple, Jingchen, led a team to arrive, and Huixuan took Ning Chengfeng to pay a visit.

Although he repeatedly claimed that he could only stay for a short time, after witnessing his fighting ability and Buddhist teachings, he was still entrusted with the important task of "Chief Protector".

One day, the abbot called a meeting of senior leaders.

"The battle situation in the starry sky is becoming more and more critical. We have suffered another defeat. Everyone should be mentally prepared. Huanglu is likely to break through the boundary wall and enter the main land."

"Thousand Buddha Island and Jingci Temple are both in the east. They will be the first to be affected. We need to consider how to preserve the strength of the sect."

"Master, what do you think?"

"I want to divide the personnel into two groups. First, select the combatants as required and keep them in the east to await deployment.

Secondly, we have a lower-level sect in the west called 'Xiaoxuan Temple', which is relatively safe. A large group of people can move there with the sect's resources and return to the original site after the war."

"What about the spiritual veins under the mountain?"

"We can only send more disciples to speed up the mining, dig up as many top-grade and high-level spiritual stones as possible, and abandon the low- and medium-grade ones."

"If outsiders invade the nunnery, the losses will be great."

"We can use the spirit veins to activate the mountain protection formation, and then embed an illusion formation outside, hoping to deceive the thieves."

"We need to finalize the list of players as soon as possible. We need to allocate the elders, guardians, and core disciples reasonably. We need to preserve the seeds while not letting the front line lose combat power."

"Protector Ouyang, you have just joined the sect, so it is difficult to force you to act. Are you willing to lead the team to the west, or stay and fight?"

Ning Chengfeng remembered the purpose of this trip and said, "My fighting ability is not bad, let me join the battle."

"Thank you, with you here, everyone's safety is more guaranteed." Jingchen was overjoyed.

"But I have a condition."

"what?"

"Ran Yi must go to Xiaoxuan Temple. She is my 'junior' and I hope she is safe."

"no problem."

"Master, are all the earthly immortals outside the domain?"

"That's not the case. There are also some who stayed behind."

"Where is Immortal Ouyang from Qingfeng Pavilion?"

"Why are you asking him?"

"I... I'm his distant cousin, and I want to meet him." Ning Chengfeng made up a story.

"Ah, you are the descendant of the second-tribulation earthly immortal? Why do you want to join Jingci Temple?" Everyone was shocked.

"I have my own path to follow and I don't want to seek his protection."

"Protector Ouyang's heart of Taoism is truly admirable."

"It is said that Immortal Ouyang is in seclusion to fight the three tribulations. You may not be able to see him for a while."

"Just let it be. I'm not in a hurry."

The situation was urgent, so Ning Chengfeng concentrated on guiding Ran Yi's practice and only went to the top of the mountain to recite when he had time.

With his careful teachings and the help of spiritual stones and elixirs, the little nun successfully broke through to the great perfection of the golden elixir.

At the same time, the blue sword, polished by the Buddha's light and the sound of Sanskrit, blossomed with extraordinary charm. Ning Chengfeng was so happy that he doubled his supply of blood and asked about the progress again.

The spirit was enjoying the meal and accidentally blurted out, "If we continue to feed you so many delicious foods, it will only take another two hundred years. Oh, if the quantity is larger, maybe it will only take a hundred years."

"What, are you kidding me?" Ning Chengfeng was stunned.

"You have to understand that humans and spirits have different definitions of time. When we sleep, it may be a thousand years."

"Forget it, just practice slowly, I'll keep the essence and blood for myself."

"Ah? No! I will definitely try my best to... I will try to get it done within 80 years, no, within 50 years."

"Then let you try again, with the same dosage. If it doesn't work, stop at any time." Ning Chengfeng decided to stimulate this lazy guy.

In another distant space, the Old Black couple spent several months getting close to the purple star. The spiritual energy became more dense, but the boundary wall was unbreakable.

"What should I do, wife?" Lao Hei was at a loss.

"We've been flying for so long, we have to go in and take a look. Let's fly around and see if there are any variables."

"Ok."

The couple was lucky. After more than a month, they found two men and one woman chatting in front of them. They were all powerful combined masters, two in the early stage and one in the middle stage.

With their current strength, they were not afraid. Lao Hei flew over first and was about to ask for advice when a man spoke first: "Are you two from the outside world?"

"Yes." Lao Hei answered honestly.

"Want to enter the Cuiwei Realm?"

"I really want to enter this purple star." Lao Hei was not sure whether the other party was talking about this place, so he had to be vague.

"No entry token?"

"Correct."

"We are disciples of the Qingluan Sect. We are here to accept applications from cultivators from other worlds for temporary entry into our world. Do you want to process it?"

"Ah, can it be awarded here?" Qing Li was very surprised.

"The token needs to be certified by the alliance before it is legal. I have to take you in first and then apply for it after entering the world."

"How many spirit crystals are needed?"

"The price of Qingluan Sect is more reasonable compared to other large sects or chambers of commerce. Each person only needs 500 medium-grade spirit crystals to apply for a token that is valid for ten years. If additional spirit crystals are added, the validity period can be extended."

"We don't have many spirit crystals. If we only need five or three years of residency, can it be cheaper?" Lao Hei was very cautious and didn't want to expose his family's wealth. "I'm sorry, the shortest term is ten years."

"Okay, 20% off for two people, how about that?"

"Impossible. We still need to give a share of the profits to the alliance. The minimum discount is 10%. It's a fixed price."

The couple looked at each other, and Lao Hei said with a pained look, "Okay."

He took out a spirit crystal and handed it to the female cultivator who was in charge of the money. She was extremely surprised and asked, "Where did you get the spirit crystal? The purity is so low?"

"Ah!?" The couple was dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the common currency of high-level monks in the Milky Way would be despised.

"The quality of your spirit crystals is too low."

"What should we do? This is the only one we have."

"We really want to do this business, but the spiritual crystals have to be doubled." The bargaining began.

In the dusty history, Jingchen convened a meeting again on Thousand Buddha Island, and his expression became even more serious.

"The starry sky troops of the main continent were unable to resist, and all of them, except for the earthly immortals, have retreated back to the realm. The plan to migrate westward will be activated immediately. Jingwu, you take your people back to the sect and notify the team to set off.

When we get to Xiaoxuan Temple, we must not slack off in our formation training, as the alliance will probably ask for people from each faction later."

"Yes, Master."

“What’s the plan for the East defense?”

"The Alliance and the five super factions have reached an agreement to unite and obey orders. There will no longer be a distinction between good and evil and alien races."

"Are we going to obey the orders of the Demon Sect?"

"If it is an order, it must be obeyed."

"It's very difficult, unless we mobilize the seventh-level demon race and give birth to more two-tribulation earth immortals."

"Have the demons been dispatched?"

"An earth immortal has already contacted them, and they should send troops. Otherwise, if the human race suffers, they will not be able to escape the bad fate either."

"If a battle at the Earth Immortal level were to take place within the domain, how many mortals and low-level cultivators would die?" someone said worriedly.

"Huang Lu dare not violate the basic rules of the realm war. The highest level of the realm can only be a true monarch level battle."

"The battle of the earthly immortals outside the domain is the key. Can we withstand it?"

"It's very difficult. In addition to sending out the seventh-level demon race, we also need to give birth to more two-tribulation earth immortals."

"Wouldn't it be better if we survived the three tribulations and severely damaged the foreign races before ascending?"

“Hehe, a three-tribulation earthly immortal will become a celestial immortal after ascending. There are only a few of them in a galaxy. Don’t dream.”

"Master, since the foreign enemies haven't broken in yet, I will send the main force to the west first, and then return to the front line." Ning Chengfeng was worried about Ran Yi's low level of cultivation, so he volunteered.

Jingchen hesitated for a moment and said:
"That's good. Protector Ouyang is the strongest in the sect. Now that the situation is chaotic, it will be safer to have you accompany me. I will send a message to Xiaoxuan Temple in time to update our position."

The next day, Ning Chengfeng, Ran Yi, Jing Wu and others set off to return to the sect. The scenery of Jingci Temple is beautiful, hidden among the mountains.

He had seen the relocation of the Fire Cloud Hall, and was not concerned about the busyness of the entire sect. In addition to him, there were several male guardians or guest officials, who were very conspicuous among the thousands of nuns.

The team was already prepared and soon arrived at a nearby medium-sized city to begin the exclusive batch transmission.

They needed three transfers to reach Yuesong City in the southwest. Since there were many outer disciples in the foundation-building stage, the flight speed was very slow, and it took more than ten days to reach the Xiaoxuan Temple by the sea.

"Ran Yi, this trip may not be safe, you'd better wear the disguise necklace." Ning Chengfeng was a little worried.

"Okay, um, that" the little nun hesitated.

"What else?"

"Protector Ouyang, can you change your appearance again? Recently, I feel that if you look closely, you still look like Immortal Ouyang."

"I'm pleased that you finally have some experience in the martial arts world." Ning Chengfeng praised.

The little nun smiled shyly. Even though they had known each other for so long, this "elder" still gave her a strange feeling.

He takes good care of himself, and his kindness is full of love. Being with him makes me feel as warm as being with a family member.

But sometimes, he was like the nasty man outside, with fiery eyes, as if he wanted to snatch her away, which made her a little scared.

Ning Chengfeng didn't understand her contradictory psychology, so he immediately adjusted his appearance and implanted some of Ye Qian's elements, making the difference between him and Ouyang Fei more obvious.

Due to the large size of the team and the beautiful scenery of the nuns, it caused quite a stir along the way.

Half a month later, Jingci Temple finally completed its assembly in Yuesong and began to advance towards the northwest.

Ning Chengfeng reminded Jingwu to strictly control the daily flying distance and camping location, and never stay in dense forests or narrow areas to avoid being caught in the middle.

Despite being so cautious, this group of beautiful nuns still encountered a joint attack by organizations on the western road.

One evening, the team set up camp on a river beach. Ning Chengfeng looked stern and said, "Senior Sister Jingwu, a large group of people are coming towards us."

"how many people?"

"More than 600, a small number of them are in the foundation building stage, most of them are in the golden elixir and Nascent Soul stage, in addition to the great masters of the fusion stage, there is also a True Lord."

"what?"

"It is indeed troublesome, and he is in the middle stage of Mahayana. You should immediately let your disciples form a battle formation and act according to the situation." Ning Chengfeng frowned. He was not strong enough. In the critical moment, he could only save Ran Yi first.

Amid the rapid whistling sounds, the disciples of Jingci Temple quickly took their positions, with every forty-nine people forming a small formation.

More than four hours later, a large number of men in black flew over the turbulent river and hovered in the air.

The leader was a tall and thin man. He looked at the fertile "rice fields" and beautiful "crops" under his feet and said jokingly: "Which nun is in charge? Come out and speak."
