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

Chapter 834 Crisis

at the same time,

Wilderness City.

As a former outpost of the Tiannan Region Righteous Alliance's attack on the Southern Yue region.
This city was built from scratch by the Righteous Alliance in a desolate wilderness.

Later, during the battle between the Righteous Alliance and the Demonic Alliance in the Southern Yue region, the Wilderness City became the center for the Righteous Alliance's resource transportation.

However, later, as the Righteous Alliance advanced in the war, especially after the great battle at Broken Soul Mountain that year, which directly crushed the White Bone Sect's stronghold there,

The importance of this desolate city also declined rapidly.

The Righteous Alliance's base of operations in the Southern Yue region gradually shifted to the more resource-rich and better-defended Broken Soul City.

that time,
As various factions relocated their strongholds, they needed to disperse and guard small towns and other outposts in the wilderness, while also cracking down on the demonic cultivator forces that remained entrenched in resource points within the conquered territory.
As a result, many of the cultivators in the desolate city dispersed in a short time.

So much so that when Shen Changchuan left the Southern Yue region and passed through the Desolate City, he saw that the entire city had become quite desolate.
It has become a city that resembles a transit point.

However, as the saying goes, times change and fortunes turn.

With the entry of the Netherworld Cult, the battlefield situation has changed dramatically, and the once-declining Wilderness City has once again become prosperous and bustling.

Both population and traffic have surged.

But this is not necessarily a good thing.

This was entirely due to the setbacks on the front lines, the rampant spread of demonic cultivators in the wilderness, and the weak defenses of small towns and resource outposts, which were simply unable to withstand the attacks of those powerful demonic cultivators.
The cultivation forces of the Southern Region, which were originally scattered across various resource points and small towns, had no choice but to retreat and return to their defensive positions.

They relied on the powerful defensive formations of the Wilderness City to resist the attacks of the demonic cultivators.

just,

Due to the lack of high-end combat power
He suffered a defeat in a battle against demonic cultivators in the wild.

Such a strategy of clinging to big cities is unlikely to be sustainable.

after all,

The resources in the Wilderness City are not unlimited.
The city's defensive array consumes a large amount of spirit stones every moment, while the numerous righteous cultivators from the Southern Region within the city also consume a massive amount of resources daily.

As a result,
Even if the demonic cultivators outside the city don't attack the Wilderness City, just occasionally harassing and attacking the transport fleets from the Southern Region would probably be enough to drag the Wilderness City to its death!

Actually,
The demonic cultivators had already been using this method for a long time.

Nowadays, almost every transport convoy traveling from Savage City to Soul Broken City is attacked by powerful demonic thieves.

As a result, the supply fleets from Savage City to Soul Broken City now require at least several cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm to operate them, so that they can protect the transported supplies and escape in time when they encounter attacks from powerful demonic cultivators.

Even so, it is still not safe.

Because occasionally,
The demonic cultivators will also send beings at the Divine Travel Realm to attack along the way.

In such a situation, the fleet would have no choice but to scatter and flee, sacrificing some supplies in exchange for others arriving.

And along with the past six months,

The battlefield situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable. The high-level demonic cultivators who were originally only active on the transport line from Savage City to Soul Broken City have gradually moved back and even appeared around Savage City.

What is certain is that

Soon after,

High-level demonic cultivators will appear on the transportation line from the Tiannan Domain's cultivation world to the Wilderness City!
Originally, ensuring transportation along the route from Savage City to Soul-Severing City had already consumed almost all of Savage City's high-end resources.

The power of the Wilderness City is no longer sufficient to consider its future!

If the rear is also threatened
Then the Savage City would probably have no spare capacity to guarantee the safety of the transport routes, which could very well lead to the complete collapse of the Savage City!
Faced with this critical situation, Wei Yuting, the acting city lord of the desolate city who is in charge of managing the logistics of the rear,

And the leaders of the major forces stationed in the Wilderness City were perfectly aware of this!

"Wilderness City was originally the rear base of our righteous alliance, but now, with the setbacks on the front lines, there have been three incidents in the past half month of attacks by demonic cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage near Wilderness City."

"What is certain is that the demonic path is closing in steadily!"

"It seems that it won't be long before the demonic path sends high-level demonic cultivators to attack the transport route from Tiannan Region to the Desolate City!"

"If such a thing really happens, the cultivators who are currently escorting us to a way out will probably not be able to guarantee the logistical support at all!"

"This matter will inevitably endanger the front lines and may even lead to the collapse of the Battle of Broken Soul City!"

"Gentlemen, do you have any opinions?"

In the city lord's palace,

A high-level meeting is being held in the desolate city.

The Dragon Sky Sect, represented by Wei Yuting; the Ancient Sword Sect, represented by Gu Xuanqing; the Ouyang Family, represented by the Ouyang Family Head; and the Shen Family, represented by Shen Yingxia.
On the field,

All the forces in the Tiannan Region with powerful experts at the Divine Realm level have sent representatives to gather here to discuss countermeasures.

just,

As Wei Yuting spoke first,
The atmosphere in the room became heavy, and no one spoke.

"This is troublesome!"

After a long while, Gu Xuanqing, the eldest elder of the Ancient Sword Sect, finally spoke in a deep, hoarse voice.

"Unless we can reduce the number of high-level cultivators sent to escort the route from Savage City to Broken Soul City, and redeploy some of our manpower to escort the route to the Southern Heavenly Domain, it seems inevitable that our rear will be cut off in the face of attacks from high-level demonic cultivators!"

"This is impossible!"

"At least five cultivators at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and at the peak of the ninth level, must work together to escort the shipment to ensure that there are no major problems with the transport route to Broken Soul City."

"If the number of people is less than five, then the supply team heading to Broken Soul City is basically out of the question; otherwise, they'll be committing suicide!"

"I disagree with the transfer of personnel!"

"That's true. If you try to take care of both, you'll end up taking care of neither!"

"But what can we do?"

A debate immediately broke out among the group.

But after much discussion
There was no answer.

"At the level of high-level cultivators, our Tiannan Region Righteous Path Alliance is too weak. If this doesn't change, all our strategies will just be a slow death!"

The head of the Ouyang family remained calm and spoke in a clear voice.

As soon as this word comes out,
The meeting quieted down somewhat.

This statement,

It can almost be said that this reveals the essence of the current predicament.

But this is not over yet,
"I have another piece of bad news for you all. According to the information I obtained from the black market at great expense, the Seven Absolutes Sect's leader, the Seven Absolutes Old Demon, has a son who joined the Netherworld Sect in his early years."

"According to the message from the black market, that person has already begun to set off, preparing to destroy our Wilderness City's rear base, thereby completely crushing the righteous alliance forces on Soul Broken City!"
