Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 628: Withdrawal
The onlookers were worried, because they were indeed the core leaders of Nakago Island, and all of them were covered in blood.

It was Lu Ye’s fellow Taoist Pan Furong and several of his sworn brothers, as well as his only direct disciple Lan Wutong.

Standing at the front is the second island owner Gui Baozhu, whose body is as big as a mountain and whose head is smaller than that of an ordinary person.

However, he was in a bad condition at the moment, spitting blood and his face was as pale as a dead person.

This is not the most serious issue. If you look at the back, you will find that his tortoise shell is almost broken. There is a finger-thick dent in the middle that is several feet deep. The surrounding cracks spread in all directions like a spider web, densely covering the entire shell, as if the entire shell would fall off with the slightest movement.

A strong man as strong as an iron tower was supporting him. He was Wang Zikuan, who looked almost exactly like Wang Hu.

The naughty boy, who loved to pee on the shell of a tortoise and plant flowers and plants when he was little, supported his uncle with a worried look on his face.

"Uncle Wu, what do you think?"

"The shell on your back is too cracked."

"I'll apply medicine to you right away."

Gui Baozhu grinned, his wound was affected, and he bared his teeth.

"Don't worry, you can't die!"

"What's the big deal about a few more cracks? Now you can plant a tree, not to mention flowers and plants!"

"I have been carrying this shell for thousands of years, and I am tired of it. If I can take this opportunity to get rid of it, I will feel more relaxed."

He spoke very easily, but everyone knew that as a turtle demon, most of his strength and abilities were in the hard shell behind him.

If the turtle shell was really destroyed, it would be like taking half his life.

Wang Zikuan's eyes were filled with tears. He shook his head gently and said, "Uncle, it's already this late, why are you still joking?"

Pan Furong was wearing a red bun, a cloak and armor, and she looked the same as when she was in the refugee army. She looked the same as before, but looked much more haggard.

Her armor was torn and her cloak was reduced to rags. She stretched out her hand, took back the sword, and said worriedly.

"Can't the Void Valley ahead hold on any longer?"

"Why did so many demons get in this time?"

Wang Hu pulled out his magic weapon, the Vajra, from the corpse of the Nascent Soul demon. He practiced the magic of the giant spirit general, which was just suitable for him to unleash the giant bloodline. The main attackers just now were him and Gui Baozhu.

He spat a mouthful of blood on the corpse and stroked his chest, which was obviously collapsed. There was a large handprint on the outer puppet armor, which showed that it was also seriously injured.

"Sister-in-law, I think there is probably something wrong with the Void Valley."

"There are eight Nascent Soul Demons appearing around the island today, and there are also hundreds of traitors from the Deep Sea Demon Clan of the Evil God Temple."

"Under normal circumstances, how could such a large group of people come here?"

Zhang Cunyi covered his shoulder, frowned and nodded.

He practiced the Suzaku Dao of slaying evil. Just now, he used his cultivation to activate a magic weapon that turned into a bow and arrow and pulled it hard, but one of his shoulders could no longer be lifted.

"I checked the storage ring on this Nascent Soul Demon."

"Many of these treasures are local products of the islands to the north of us."

"It seems that this group of people came here sweeping all the way."

"If we hadn't been protected by the formation, we would have been broken through by them in one go."

Shu Chitu, who was standing beside him, stood up, covered in dust and limping.

It was he who used the Xuanci Earth Escape Technique at the critical moment, drilled out from the ground, and nailed the feet of the two-winged demon, thus creating an opportunity for his companions and killing them with one blow.

"There are more troubles."

"I just checked underground."

"Because of the collision of spiritual power, most of our formation was completely destroyed."

"Although there is no shortage of materials, this formation was originally set up by my eldest brother."

"With our ability, it may be difficult to repair the formation within ten days or half a month."

"During this period, our Nakago Island is almost defenseless, and it is the most vulnerable time."

"Fifth brother is injured again and can't fight anymore."

"Not too many. If another Nascent Soul demon comes, we'll have to activate the teleportation array and flee!"

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Who would be willing to give up the foundation they created with their own hands?

Lan Wutong's lower abdomen was pierced. He took out a elixir and applied it on the wound. While bandaging the wound, he told the bad news.

"I just went down the mountain to check."

"Most of our disciples died in the battle."

"There are more than a hundred disciples who left without saying goodbye. Some people saw them flying to Bilang Island."

"Also, most of the monks who came to us from other islands in the nearby waters over the years have also fled."

"They are probably heading for Bilang Island."

Wang Hu became furious when he heard this.

"I'll go get them back!"

"The sign of our Nakago Island is still standing, but they are already fleeing. What's going on?"

"And that Bilang Island is also abominable!"

"At the beginning, Cang Qiuke agreed with us to become a guest official of Zhongxiang Island, so we let him guard the island."

"As a result, the two-winged demons wreaked havoc and cut off the connections between the islands. He used this as an excuse to reduce contacts, and the amount of offerings decreased year by year."

"Two years ago, we even welcomed a Yuanying Zhenren Lie Fengzi to the island."

"His move of offering flowers to Buddha with nothing in his hands is really brilliant!"

"He sold our island for a good price. This person is the most despicable!"

Elder Tie Gong beside him hurriedly advised.

"Wang Hu, you absolutely cannot do that!"

"Since those disciples have escaped, let them go!"

"If their hearts are not here anymore, what's the point of keeping them here?"

"As for Lie Fengzi, Island Master Lu has also mentioned him before. He is a powerful Yuanying cultivator and the leader of a school."

"In our current situation, it is even more inappropriate to make enemies with them."

"If he wants to occupy Bilang Island, let him do it."

"The treasury left by Island Master Lu is rich enough, and we don't care about these little things."

It turns out that things have changed a lot in the past ten years.

With the help of the traitorous Evil God Temple in the human world, the Winged Demons saved the last passage between the two worlds.

With the passage as the center, they set up formations to guide the spiritual energy and built a magic domain with a radius of several hundred miles to gain a firm foothold.

After being silent for half a year, he teleported three True Lords of the Demon Clan at once and then began to take action.

In the first battle, they defeated the Chaoyang Sword Sect, a major sect in the Northern Territory that was blocking the entrance to the Demon Realm.

Then he went all the way south to destroy Futu Island and annihilate the Haiyan Sect.

The human cultivators suffered defeat after defeat, and finally managed to gain a foothold in the Void Valley in the Southern Region and formed a defense line.

The Void Valley gathered almost all the remaining high-level human cultivators from the entire East China Sea. They fought repeatedly with the Two-Winged Demons and barely held on to avoid being breached.

The Two-Winged Demons had some strength left and were aggressive like fire. While attacking the Void Valley, they were able to send out more teams, with the Nascent Soul Demons as the backbone and many deep-sea monsters from the traitorous Evil God Temple in the human world. They boldly bypassed the Void Valley and harassed the human race's rear.

At the beginning they didn't dare to go too far, there were only two or three Jindan monks against a dozen monsters.

The targets of attack were no more than those foundation-building sects or small families.

But as time went by, the resistance of the human race in Void Valley became weaker and weaker.

At the beginning, the monks in the valley could occasionally fight back, and even sent out elite teams to hunt down the demon teams that entered the rear of the human race.

Later, the Winged Demons intensified their attacks on the Void Valley. At the peak, there were even four Divine Transformation cultivators attacking at the same time. Void Master also died in that battle.

Afterwards, the Void Valley could only passively take the beating, with very few opportunities to get out of the valley and fight back.

Even if there are, they are scattered and not on a large scale. It all depends on luck.

Therefore, in recent years, groups of Nascent Soul Demons have begun to appear in the rear of the human race, with varying numbers.

There are often reports that a certain Jindan sect or family has been destroyed.

In the past few years, Nakago Island has experienced several invasions by demons.

Thanks to the fourth-order protective formation left by Lu Ye, they were able to get through it successfully.

At the beginning, they can defend the main island and provide support to the monks in the entire sea area and neighboring sea areas.

In the end, he was unable to take care of himself and could only guard his own door tightly.

During this period, the monks on the island rarely went out, so naturally their control over the affiliated islands became extremely weak.

At this time, the guest official Cang Qiuke from Bilang Island also brought in a Nascent Soul cultivator named Lie Fengzi.

Speaking of which, Lie Fengzi and Lu Ye have some connections. When True Man Xukong led the cultivators of the Southern Region to remove the demon clan’s passage and travel thousands of miles to rescue the Jinding Sect, both of them participated.

He is the leader of a sect, which is not very powerful, with only a few big and small people, but his personal strength is particularly outstanding.

He ranks among the top in the record of killing two-winged demons among all the island owners.

His sect was destroyed by the two-winged demons, and he escaped with a few of his subordinates and was led to the Bilang Island by Cangqiuke.

At the beginning, Lie Fengzi went to Zhongxiang Island several times to pay homage, stating that he was just seeking refuge and would leave naturally after the disaster was over.

During the conversation, he was humble and mentioned that he was fortunate to fight alongside Island Master Lu and that he admired his cultivation and character very much.

Perhaps at the beginning, Cang Qiuke and Lie Fengzi were just huddling together for warmth.

However, as Nakago Island actually lost control of the outer islands, Liefengzi's attitude subtly changed and he never mentioned leaving again.

Today, eight Winged Demon Yuanying cultivators attacked Zhongxiang Island together, but Liefengzi and Cangqiuke did not come to help.

The enemy is strong and we are weak.

After discussion, Gui Baozhu and others decided to resort to the method of luring the enemy deep into their territory and pretend that the island protection formation had been breached.

When those Yuanying demons attacked the tower, they instantly restarted the formation.

Lu Ye set up a complex formation on Zhongxiang Island, with one formation within another. They used the power of the formation to cut it front and back.

The three winged demons turned into ashes on the spot in the formation.

Four more two-winged demons were injured and escaped.

The last demon leader's cultivation had reached the late Nascent Soul stage. Seeing that he was locked in the formation and unable to escape, he brazenly used his body to destroy the formation of the high tower, and fought with all his might, almost clinging to the pillars in a desperate fight.

Now on Zhongxiang Island, it is reported that Zhu Wanghu, Zhang Cunyi, Shu Chitu, Lan Wu and others were seriously injured.

In particular, Gui, who was hugging the only Nascent Soul cultivator, was the most seriously injured.

If he had not been at the forefront, everyone in the field would have been dragged into the water and taken away by the Winged Demon Clan Nascent Soul cultivator.

Among all the people, only Pan Furong suffered minor injuries.

It’s not that Pan Furong didn’t fight hard, but Wang Hu and the others had a tacit understanding that unless they died in battle, they would never let their sister-in-law rush to the front line.

Several people coordinated their body movements to block the attack, and Pan Furong could only fight from a distance with her flying sword, so she was the least injured.

It can be said at this moment.

The mountain protection formation was broken, and almost all the masters were injured and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. A bunch of independent practitioners and disciples also ran away.

No matter how you look at it, Nakago Island is in a precarious situation and it is at its darkest moment.

Everyone was silent.

Everyone knows that Nakago Island is very dangerous now.

Not to mention another team of Nascent Soul Demons, even if a team of Golden Core Demons came, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be able to defeat them.

Wang Zikuan gritted his teeth and said.

"If my uncle were here, how could he tolerate the insolence of those demons!"

As soon as he said this, he saw Sister Hong, the mother opposite him, glaring at him. Realizing that he had said something inappropriate, he quickly lowered his head.

Sure enough, Pan Furong sighed deeply, her face full of sadness.

"I don't know if your poor uncle is still alive?"

"I had a dream a few days ago. I seemed to dream that he was talking to me with blood all over his face."

"I can't hear anything."

"He has been missing for ten years. Is he alive or dead?"

Sister Hong hurried forward to support Pan Furong.

"Don't worry, miss."

"My son-in-law must be blessed by heaven and will return safely."

"In the dream, it's the opposite. You saw that Uncle's face was covered in blood, which means that Uncle has been doing very well recently."

Sister Hong glared at Wang Hu as she spoke. Who doesn't know that Pan Furong can't stand the words Lu Ye?
Your son caused the trouble, and you, as his father, have to clean up the mess.

Wang Hu was helpless and pretended to be indifferent.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. My elder brother is very strong!"

"He didn't starve to death when he was a refugee."

"But missing for ten years is nothing."

"Who knows, by the time he returns, my brother will have become a True God!"

"By then, he will definitely be disgusted with us, complaining that we are low in cultivation and slow in progress, and that we are embarrassing him and holding him back."

Elder Tie Gong also joined in.

"The island master is a blessed person. He will surely be able to turn misfortune into fortune."

"The question now is, should we stay on this Nakago Island?"

"The demons suffered a great loss here, and they will definitely not let it go."

"Based on their usual patterns of action, if they encounter a tough challenge, they will launch a second wave of attacks in seven or eight days."

"What should we do?"

"We must make a plan early. Should we set out to the Void Valley as soon as possible?"

"Should we do our best to repair the formation and do as much as we can?"

Elder Tiegong is in charge of all internal and external affairs, including intelligence.

He analyzed it for everyone.

The four Nascent Soul Winged Demons who had suffered a great loss in their formation and escaped injured were not dead.

It would take about four days to escape from here back to the Demon Realm in the Central Region of the East China Sea, which was previously the human race's major sect, Futu Island. Given their injured state, they would also need to be careful to avoid the human race's sphere of influence along the way.

And if we send another team of Nascent Soul Demons from the Demon Realm’s base camp on Futu Island, they will be able to reach Zhongxiang Island in two days at the earliest.

Even if they were unlucky, if they encountered other teams of two-winged demons returning from an attack, and the other side was bolder and only sent one or two Yuanying demons to break in lightly and launch a surprise attack, Zhongxiang Island would suffer a great loss.

And if everyone decided to go to the Void Valley, it would take several days to gather the remaining monks on the island and fly north.

It also requires taking risks, because there may be scattered demon attack teams on the way. The demons may return after they succeed, and you never know when you might run into them.

There was silence.

Wang Hu slapped his thigh first.

No, absolutely not!
Big brother led us to build this foundation with great difficulty, and now it’s lost just like that?
Apart from anything else, if my eldest brother comes back one day and asks me where our home is, I won't be able to answer him.
