Chapter 219 Fight To Death
Two Days Later
Zhou Main City.
Spirit boats were gathering from all over Cangzhou and heading toward Guang'an Prefecture.
Luis led the Western Defense Zone coalition forces—comprising a total of 500 foundation-building monks—aboard five flying warships as they rushed toward the outer city of Guang'an Prefecture, the city where the Zhou family's mortals lived.
Countless members of the Zhou clan looked up in awe at the sight—a spectacle they never thought they'd witness in their lifetime.
"Daddy, look at all these big ships!"
"I'll go tell Mother!"
When the Zhou clan members saw the immortal boats overhead, they trembled.
Had the Immortal Master not issued a timely warning, all these mortals would have knelt down and kowtowed. To mortals, monks are beings far beyond their reach.
This is one of the reasons why the Zhou family had established a forbidden air formation in Guang'an Prefecture—to avoid disturbing the mortals.
After all, if hundreds of thousands of cultivators were flying overhead every day without any restrictions, mortals would eventually become accustomed to it, and the monks' deterrent effect would diminish.
The Zhou family might as well create a no-fly formation to spare everyone trouble.
On the deck of the flying battleship, Luis stood in the center with Lei Zhen and Zhou Mucheng flanking him on the left and right.
"Zhou Mubai!" a voice resounded through the sky as Luis looked around at the approaching spiritual boats.
"Who is that person?"
"I have no idea."
"That's the Taoist Fire Spirit from Shuo'an Prefecture."
"Is it him? The Fire Spirit Taoist who single-handedly burned hundreds of foundation-building cultivators from Chuyun Country at Yunmeng Pass?"
"Yes, it's him! And he was only in the middle stage of Foundation Building back then— I didn't expect he has already reached the late stage now," Lei Zhen said with envy.
In terms of spiritual roots, Lei Zhen considered himself on par with the Fire Spirit Taoist; both were cultivators blessed with strong natural spiritual roots.
Logically, Lei Zhen was also at the Foundation Building stage at that time, so the gap between the two shouldn't be so vast.
However, Taoist Huo Ling hails from a well-established family with strong backing, while Lei Zhen is merely a casual cultivator who hasn't yet been taken under the wing of a major family.
In other words, among all the cultivators in the entire Ten Thousand Star Sea, Zhou Mubai's strength ranks ninth. This clearly shows just how formidable he is.
Inside the main hall, the news sent shockwaves through the assembled monks from various tribes.
Zhou Minghao's roar evoked deep pain in everyone's hearts.
They recalled how Ye Wudao—the ancestor of the Ye family—had abandoned Zhennan Pass and fled, leading to its downfall.
Now, with Cangzhou Immortal City under siege and everyone still preparing to rescue it, no one expected Ye Wudao to run away again. After all, Cangzhou Fairy City is different from Zhennan Pass—it is Ye Wudao's own clan land.
In his eyes, that selfish, cowardly beast only cared about his own life. It was hardly surprising that he would act this way.
As soon as Zhou Minghao's roar subsided, Zhang Xuanling from Jin'an Prefecture spoke in a cold voice.
Luis turned his gaze toward the young monk standing before him. This young man, who made no effort to hide his cultivation level, was on par with Zhou Mubai.
Dressed in white and carrying a long sword that emitted a sharp green glow from his back, his eyes were piercing and exuded a threatening, cold light.
When Zhang Xuanling spoke, he dismissed Ye Wudao—a Jindan cultivator—by calling him a beast. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
This comment silenced everyone. No one dared speak up; Ye Wudao might be considered a mere idiot, but behind him stood the third elder of the Qianyuan Sword Sect, a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.
If Zhang Xuanling could call Ye Wudao a beast, then how could anyone possibly challenge him when the third elder himself was, in a sense, an "old beast"?
Glancing at the silent crowd, Zhang Xuanling sneered and let out a mocking laugh. "Fellow Daoist Zhang is right," he declared.
Then Zhou Mubai stood up and denounced, "Fifty years ago, Ye Wudao abandoned Zhennan Pass and fled, causing the loss of more than one million cultivators in Cangzhou. Now he has abandoned Cangzhou Fairy City and fled, putting hundreds of millions of mortals and cultivators in danger. To call this coward—a man who loves life and fears death—a beast is to flatter him!"
"Good!" Taoist Huo Ling also stood up and scolded.
At that moment, everyone recalled both old and new grudges against Ye Wudao, the patriarch of the Ye family, and followed the three in condemning him.
Meanwhile, Luis stood in the crowd, frowning silently.
Did Ye Wudao run away simply out of fear of death, or was there something more sinister at play? One thing was certain: Cangzhou Fairy City must never fall, or everyone in Cangzhou would suffer.
"Everyone!" Zhou Minghao shouted. "Although Ye Wudao is shameless, we must save Cangzhou Immortal City—not only to rescue the city but to save ourselves!"
"Patriarch Zhou!"
In the crowd, Zhang Xuanling cupped his hands and said, "There are so many corpses. Do you have any good ideas?"
Hearing this, Zhou Minghao shook his head and said solemnly: "There is no good plan, only a fight to the death!"
