Chapter 290: The Hunt for the Demon. Life and Death Situation

Under Ji Tongtian's description, everyone's expressions became extremely grave. This included the elders of the aristocratic families. They did not expect things to come so quickly.

The news that City Lord Ji told them was the refugees who had escaped from the teleportation array and arrived at the Central Plains City.

Meanwhile, Ji Tongtian's subordinates transmitted the news to his mind through the immortal destiny seal.

"Has... has the North Barren City fallen?"

Some itinerant cultivators still could not believe it. At first, they thought that what the elders of the aristocratic families said was just an exaggeration. They did not expect the slap to come so quickly.

It had not been long since the refugees of the North Barren City arrived at the Central Plains City. It could be seen that the current situation was much more serious than they had imagined.

All the cultivators in the conference hall lowered their heads in silence. They knew what the fall of a city represented.

It meant that a large number of cultivators had died and left. It meant that a human city had become the territory of the demon beasts.

This was simply a disgrace to the current era.

Clap clap!!

Two claps pulled everyone's emotions back. Old Master Nie seemed to appear taller, and he looked at all the cultivators present with a solemn expression.

"Everyone, now is not the time to be depressed. Fortunately, all of you are here today. To be honest, the beast tide this time is not simple."

"The fall of North Barren City can already explain many things. The beast tide is extremely huge, and the strength and quality of the demon beasts are also extremely high."

"If we didn't take action today, I'm afraid that the next time we hear the news of the fall of North Barren City wouldn't be the only thing, but the entire great desolate region."

"At that time, will there be any place for us human cultivators to settle down? If not, we would end up in a situation where our families would be destroyed. Don't ask me why I made it sound so serious. What I know is even more serious than what I said!"

After Master Nie finished speaking, Xu Que, who was standing next to him, also stood up and looked at Nie Dingtian. Then he said slowly, "what old ghost Nie said is not just alarmist. I, for example, am prepared to not return from this trip."

As soon as Xu Que finished speaking, all the cultivators sucked in a breath of cold air. Why did all these big shots say that? Would they be sending themselves to death?

Immediately, many cultivators started to retreat. This was a life-threatening task and there was no reward for it. Who would be willing to do it?

Just as someone was about to step out and leave, the first to step out was the Lu family of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion and Old Master Lin Yan.

They all took out a pile of top-grade magic treasures. Soon after, the old man from the Lu family said indifferently, "although I don't have the consciousness of old Ghost Xu, I will definitely participate in this operation. At the same time, I will contribute some magic treasures to my comrades who are fighting against the beast tide together."

After the Lu family's elder finished speaking, it was grandfather Lin Yan's turn to speak, "we have no way out."

These words directly caused those cultivators who wanted to withdraw to be stunned. They really had no way out...

If the great desolate region fell, they would also end up homeless. What meaning would there be in such an immortal path?

Su Yi quietly watched these itinerant cultivators conversing with the old men. Old Man Nie had spoken in an irreversible manner, but he gave off a feeling that there could be some hope.

After that, the Lu family offered his treasures and other artifacts to stop the disaster. Then, Old Man Lin Yan revealed the truth that they no longer had any way out.

On this point, their coordination was wonderful. It was as if they had rehearsed this beforehand.

As expected, the older the wiser. However, he had never expected that the fellow from the Lu clan of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion would actually be so generous as to take out so many magical artifacts and magical treasures.

He fixed his gaze on the old man from the Lu family. The latter also noticed Su Yi's gaze. Perhaps because he was afraid of Su Yi's strength, the other party did not reveal any unkind expression. Instead, he coldly said, "Su Yi, let's put aside our enmity with you for the time being, and focus on the big picture now."

As soon as these words came out, many people noticed Nie Dingtian brought this young man, did not expect to have enmity with the Lu family.

The old man of the Lu family was so generous that he said to put the grudge aside and put the big picture first.

The old man of the Lu family really understood justice.

Many cultivators' impression of the old man of the Lu family had greatly increased, and at the same time, their impression of Su Yi had greatly decreased.

Most of these itinerant cultivators did not know Su Yi. Perhaps they had heard of the name Su Yi, but they did not care.

However, seeing that Su Yi was brought here by Old Master Nie, they did not say anything.

As for the other elders of the aristocratic families, they knew Su Yi's strength. The Lu family Elder's words were not to show his magnanimity but to not let Su Yi act recklessly.

If Su Yi had given them a flash of sword qi according to the situation that day, who would have been able to withstand it?

Hearing this, the corners of Su Yi's mouth curled up, and he could not help but curse in his heart.

This old dog of the Lu family was really trying to flatter him, but it did not matter. A great battle was about to begin, and it was good to let go of personal grudges.

In the eyes of others, Su Yi's appearance was like taking an inch and asking for a mile.

Immediately, some cultivators who sided old man of the Lu family became displeased. They started barking like a dog.

"Hey kid, what's with that look in your eyes? It's a good thing that senior Lu is willing to drop the grudge between you two. Not only are you not grateful, you even showed such an expression. Could it be that you feel that with senior Nie protecting you, everything will be fine?"

As soon as these words were said, the old man of the Lu clan was dumbfounded. Where did this guy jump out from? Why did he have to provoke the highest combat power in the entire area? 

The old man of the Lu family twitched his mouth and wanted to say something, but who knew that the cultivator, as if he had lost his mind, thought that the opportunity to suck up had arrived and continued.

"Senior Lu, don't say anything for now. I know that you are kind and considerate for the overall situation and don't want to argue with this kid, but I really can't stand this kid's face. Obviously..."

"Enough! Don't say anymore! Since when is it your turn to judge the grudges between my Lu family and Su Yi!"

The old man of the Lu family interrupted the cultivator with a gloomy face. He wanted to say something, however, not only the old man of the Lu family, even Su Yi's face turned slightly cold.

At this time, old man Nie came out to mediate the situation and said solemnly.

"Stop it. Why are you all still arguing? Get ready to resupply. We're ready to set off! Head to the northern region to stop the invasion of the beast tide! Otherwise, when they attack the Central Plains, everything will be over!"

After saying this, grandpa Nie glanced at them coldly. Then, he flicked his sleeves and left the conference hall to prepare the spirit energy ship.

At that time, they would use the spirit energy ship to carry these late foundation establishment cultivators to deal with the beast tide...

However, with dozens of people fighting thousands of demon beasts, no matter how they thought about it, it was all hanging by a thread. Perhaps they had some ideas.
