Chapter 148 Choosing to Abandon the City! Chaos Arises!
Zhang Xuanchen's tone was resolute and firm, without the slightest hesitation.
Hearing this, Luo Lingshuang was deeply touched, and a warm feeling rose in her heart.
A faint smile appeared on his face:
"Then I'll have to be careful not to offend any important figures."
As she finished speaking, the communication talisman in her hand went dark and lost its effect.
Seeing this, Zhang Guanghan took out another mid-grade second-tier communication talisman from his pocket.
He smiled and looked at Luo Lingshuang, saying, "Lingshuang, is there anything else you want to say to Xiaochen? I have a communication talisman here."
No one would put a communication talisman into a storage ring.
Otherwise, this message talisman is no different from a piece of waste paper.
Luo Lingshuang's cheeks flushed and her earlobes turned bright red under Zhang Guanghan's gaze.
He quickly changed the subject:
"Seventh Aunt, let's hurry on our way, lest we miss our time."
After saying that, he transformed into a pale blue afterimage and flew away into the distance.
The members of the Zhang family exchanged glances, all seeing smiles in each other's eyes, before transforming into streaks of light and following closely behind.
……
On the other side, Zhang Xuanchen's fingers flickered with flame, burning the ineffective communication talisman.
I took a deep breath and calmed myself down.
It flew towards the registration desk.
As usual, people were queuing up in long lines.
Zhang Xuanchen walked straight to the front desk and looked at a middle-aged cultivator, saying, "Fellow Daoist, I have urgent business with Han Ming. Senior Han, please inform him."
Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's voice, the middle-aged cultivator instinctively scoffed:
"Who do you think you are, Martial Uncle Han...?"
The moment he looked up and saw Zhang Xuanchen's face, he immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out.
It wasn't that she was afraid, but rather that she subconsciously mistook Zhang Xuanchen for Luo Lingshuang's person.
It's not good to be too arrogant towards him.
If he is relaying a message on behalf of Luo Lingshuang, then that would be troublesome.
A smile immediately appeared on his face as he said, "So it's Fellow Daoist Li."
"Is there something you need from Uncle Han?"
Although his attitude was bad, Zhang Xuanchen didn't intend to argue with him. It was normal for him to be a little short-tempered after registering so many people every day.
He nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, there is something important I need to tell Senior Han."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged cultivator became completely obedient and hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist, take this token. Uncle Han is on the top floor. You can go there yourself."
No one dares to stop you.
Zhang Xuanchen nodded, turned around and walked upstairs.
As soon as I reached the top floor, the door opened automatically.
"Come in, young friend Li."
Seeing Zhang Xuanchen approach, Han Ming continued, "May I ask what brings young friend Li here?"
Zhang Xuanchen first clasped his hands in a salute.
He got straight to the point: "A few days ago I accepted a mission from Lingyu Island."
Just then, the group of evil cultivators held a meeting. I hid in the crowd and overheard that the Soul Devouring Church had sent three Golden Core evil cultivators to lead evil cultivators from within a radius of 50,000 miles to attack Dao Sword Immortal City.
They also distributed a large amount of resources to help those evil cultivators who practiced Qi cultivation break through their cultivation realms.
boom!
Han Ming slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly!
"Are you telling the truth?"
"It's absolutely true. The one who revealed this news was Yin Kui, the leader of the evil cultivation branch of Lingyu Island, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator."
"It shouldn't be wrong." Zhang Xuanchen spoke the truth. How would he know if it was true or not?
It's best to let Han Ming experience it for himself.
He wouldn't take that kind of risk.
Han Ming remained silent for a while, but he was already certain that Zhang Xuanchen was not lying.
Because many markets and neighborhoods have already fallen in the past few days.
However, those evil cultivators did not exterminate mortals and cultivators, sacrificing them to create Soul-Devouring Pearls.
Instead, they chose to eliminate a portion of the population as a deterrent, thus facilitating subsequent rule.
This shows that the Soul Devouring Cult is extremely ambitious.
They want to replace the Nine Hua Sword Sect and become the overlord of the Eastern Heavenly Dragon Sea!
Since ancient times, the victor is king and the loser is villain. At that time, we can even whitewash the Soul Devouring Cult and smear the Nine Hua Sword Sect.
It's not impossible.
He asked in a deep voice, "Young friend Li, did they mention a specific time?"
Zhang Xuanchen thought for a moment and replied, "According to them, there are still seven or eight days left."
Hearing that there were still seven or eight days left, Han Ming's face visibly relaxed.
"Fortunately, there was time to evacuate."
Young friend Li, this matter is of great importance; please do not spread it around.
You can leave Daojian Immortal City secretly on your own.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen frowned slightly: "We're not going to defend the city?"
"If we leave, what will happen to the common people and monks living in the city?"
"What to do? Of course, you can only pray for good fortune. To do something you know is impossible is foolish!" Han Ming's face was solemn and his voice was low.
He continued, "Think about it, since that group of evil cultivators is preparing to attack the city, there must be spies outside the city."
If they retreat on a large scale, will they launch an attack on the city ahead of schedule?
At that time, how many of us will be able to escape?
Those heretical practitioners' main target is us!
Not those mortals and low-level cultivators.
Yes, we're leaving, and many of them will surely die.
But... there's nothing I can do!
There are some things that are beyond our control!
Unless you can get the people at the Tianya Restaurant in the city to help, but can you?"
At this point, Han Ming let out a long sigh.
His eyes were filled with a dullness.
If he could, wouldn't he prefer to stay or take everyone away?
However, he was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm and was powerless to resist.
Moreover, the sect leader has already ordered that the strength of the Nine Hua Sword Sect be preserved as much as possible, and that the city be abandoned and the sect retreated if absolutely necessary.
As for asking for help, no one will come.
Everyone has their own immortal city to govern, and those immortal cities are far more important than the Dao Sword Immortal City.
"Alas, at most one-twentieth of the cultivators in the city can leave this time, and not a single mortal can leave. We don't have any spatial treasures that can store living beings."
I hope you understand the seriousness of this matter, otherwise you will be the enemy of all forces above the Golden Core stage in the Immortal City!
Alright, you can leave now. I'll tell Senior Brother Qing about the task you completed.
Zhang Xuanchen clenched his fists, then gave a bitter smile.
If even a Golden Core cultivator is powerless to do something, what can a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him do?
As for revealing the Ring of All Souls, that's simply impossible; he wouldn't have any chance of survival if he did.
With a hoarse voice, he said, "Senior Han, this junior... understands."
They certainly won't publicize this matter.
Goodbye.
After saying this, Zhang Xuanchen quickly left the boarding area and headed to the Sword Tower to find the Zhou Tian Sword.
One's own people must be evacuated safely.
Inside the house, Han Ming looked out the window at the hazy sky in the distance.
"The chaotic times... have finally arrived."
He then sent out a beam of light, transmitting the message to the Hall Master of the Mission Hall.

P.S.: Fellow Daoists, please give me a five-star review and show your support!
It would be great to raise the rating to 7.0; 6.9 is a bit hard to look at.
