Chapter 355: Yunzhou in Crisis
After seven days, the large teleportation array was set up within the Seven Absolute Gates. Each time it activated, hundreds of demonic cultivators would be transported here. The demonic energy within the Seven Absolute Gates surged, and the disciples of the gates were the first to suffer.
In the past half month, nearly a hundred thousand demonic cultivators had been teleported from Lanzhou.
The group of Gold Core cultivators who were on the verge of breaking the restrictions had stopped their actions. They knew that it was already too late to turn the tide.
With these demonic cultivators as their support, the demonic cultivators from Lanzhou, led by more than ten Gold Core cultivators, began to occupy Yunzhou like a raging tide. One month later, Yunzhou was completely under the control of the demonic cultivators from Lanzhou.
After occupying Yunzhou, they temporarily stopped and seemed to be preparing to increase their manpower for Zhongyunzhou.
Countless cultivators in Yunzhou fell victim to their attacks, while the survivors fled to Zhongyunzhou. Elder Feng and others also managed to escape, which was good news.
Lin Qing was the first to learn about the situation regarding the demonic cultivators from Lanzhou seizing the Seven Absolute Gates and then taking over Yunzhou. He immediately felt a sense of crisis. After learning about the situation, he never expected that the demonic cultivators would be so audacious, targeting the Seven Absolute Gates from the beginning and succeeding.
This reminded Lin Qing of the beast tide from years ago. At that time, the demonic beasts lured him out, and then the armadillo-like demonic beast almost broke through his Lin family's defenses. At that time, his Lin family relied on Lin Xuchang's luck to survive, and the Seven Absolute Gates did not have the power to turn the tide.
This was the norm in the cultivation world. Sometimes, a force may appear strong, but it can also be fragile.
After learning about this news, Lin Qing ordered the members of his family to strengthen their defenses and even sent many juniors to Zijin Mountain. Although the demonic cultivators launched their attack from Yunzhou and had temporarily stopped, Lin Qing couldn't help but consider that they might continue their advance and take over Yunzhou in one fell swoop.
Although his Lin family was powerful, if they couldn't withstand the attack on Zhongyunzhou, he didn't believe that they could hold their ground.
In his heart, there was even a bold idea. If necessary, he would search for more small islands in the sea, set up teleportation arrays along the way, and have the younger generation of his family teleport to other provinces. Of course, this was not an easy task to accomplish, but it was a last resort. After all, as Tsukuyomi had said, the demonic cultivators did not allow any righteous path to exist. If his Lin family didn't want to switch to demonic cultivation, it would be best to leave.
Of course, what was even more urgent than Lin Qing was Zhongyunzhou. Zhongyunzhou was the true core of Yunzhou, and it wouldn't be easy for the demonic cultivators to break through.
This point was undeniable.
After the demonic cultivators from Lanzhou successfully took over Yunzhou, they also realized the strength of Zhongyunzhou. They temporarily halted their advance and continued to teleport more cultivators.
At this time, the various forces in Zhongyunzhou reacted and not only united all the forces in Zhongyunzhou but also joined forces with those in Shangyunzhou to resist the enemy. Even the Dali Chu Kingdom, which was close to Zhongyunzhou, sent cultivators, including the only Gold Core cultivator, Tianyanshi.
The Lin family also received an invitation, but Lin Qing did not allow anyone to go. It wasn't because he was afraid of death, but because the position of his Lin family was extremely special. If the demonic cultivators launched a surprise attack from Shangyunzhou, his Lin family would be the first line of defense.
The various forces in Zhongyunzhou were clearly aware of this and did not forcefully invite the Lin family. They even sent a message saying that the Lin family must not make any mistakes.
In this regard, whether it is for the sake of Yunzhou or for the sake of their own family, Lin Qing will definitely do everything in their power.
Lin Qing had previously learned from Ruyue that there are Nascent Soul cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths in Lanzhou. However, this time, none of the demonic Nascent Soul cultivators have come. The main reason is that although the righteous path has been defeated, it is extremely difficult to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator. If a Nascent Soul cultivator wants to escape, two or three ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators cannot stop them. Therefore, even now, there are still righteous Nascent Soul cultivators in Lanzhou.
With these righteous Nascent Soul cultivators present, the demonic Nascent Soul cultivators dare not come to Yunzhou. After all, Nascent Soul cultivators are not something that a group of Purple Mansion Gold Core cultivators can withstand. Given the slightest opportunity, they can cause massive casualties. Lanzhou's demonic path has always been on guard against this. Otherwise, as long as a Nascent Soul cultivator arrives, all the efforts in Yunzhou would be in vain.
Two months after taking down Xiazhou, the demonic path in Lanzhou has already gathered 150,000 cultivators of various levels and started advancing towards Zhongzhou.
Although Lin Qing did not participate, from the information they received, they could still see the intensity of the battle.
It is said that on the first day of the conflict, nearly ten thousand cultivators from both sides died. This kind of large-scale battle between states is not as simple as a few cultivators fighting for treasures. On such a grand battlefield, whether an individual can survive or not depends more on fate.
And scenes as brutal as this continued for three consecutive days, with both sides losing about thirty thousand cultivators each and countless others injured.
Three days later, both the demonic path in Lanzhou and the cultivators in Yunzhou felt that the situation was too brutal. For a while, the scale and intensity of the battle decreased significantly.
But even so, there were still over a thousand cultivators from each side dying every day, while the demonic path in Lanzhou continued to advance. In just five days, they occupied nearly one-third of Zhongzhou's territory.
It's not that the cultivators in Yunzhou weren't fighting desperately, but rather because the cultivators in the demonic path in Lanzhou were generally stronger.
Firstly, Lanzhou is naturally more prosperous than Yunzhou, so the cultivators there are stronger, and their magical treasures and artifacts are also powerful. Secondly, compared to the righteous path cultivation techniques, the demonic path cultivation techniques have a faster rate of improvement. Moreover, they have various secret techniques that can be performed using their blood essence, which the righteous path cultivation techniques cannot compare to.
If things continue like this, although the demonic path will suffer heavy losses, Yunzhou will gradually retreat and eventually be completely lost.
After another five days, the demonic path in Lanzhou had occupied two-thirds of Zhongzhou's territory, and they had taken over more than half of Yunzhou. At this point, many cultivators could already be seen in Xiazhou. They were all cultivators who had escaped from Zhongzhou. Lin Qing made up their mind and moved nearly a hundred descendants of their family to Zijin Mountain.
In Lin Qing's opinion, Yunzhou was probably not defensible. The demonic path in Lanzhou was truly too powerful.
However, their Lin family had also experienced storms before. With Lin Qing and Ruyue present, there would still be a chance for a comeback in the future.
In Lin Qing's mind, they had already considered the future.
It was still somewhat manageable for their Lin family to have a retreat, but many wandering cultivators who had no retreat were living in constant fear. They felt that everything around them was changing too quickly. Some cultivators even wanted to become ordinary mortals. After all, once the demonic path in Lanzhou occupied Xiazhou, they would exterminate any cultivators who were unwilling to join the demonic path, but they didn't take any action against ordinary mortals. They even seemed to protect them.
In this situation, the situation unexpectedly underwent an unforeseen change.
And the person who caused this change had a slight connection with Lin Qing.
