Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal-Chapter 234 - 164: Daoist Brother, Why Did You Run First?

Chapter 234: Chapter 164: Daoist Brother, Why Did You Run First?

"Master, please rest assured, your disciple will do everything possible to carry forward our White Cloud Immortal City!"

Xing Huai’an nodded heavily.

"With you here, I can naturally be at ease!"

As Master White Cloud spoke, he took out two Storage Bags and handed them to Xing Huai’an. At this moment, he felt a resolve towards life and death.

Originally, his lifespan had less than forty years left. The battle with Qing Yu Demon King during the day caused a backlash from the Secret Technique, damaging his foundation and further reducing his lifespan.

Even with recovery from severe injuries, he wouldn’t live much longer. It would be better to use the remaining lifespan to pave the way for his proud disciple.

"Huai’an, this is the accumulation of my hundreds of years of establishing the Immortal City. I hand it over to you today!"

Upon hearing this, Xing Huai’an was taken aback. Hundreds of years of White Cloud Immortal City’s accumulation.

What a wealth that must be.

As far as he knew, his master possessed quite a few Tier Three Spirit Medicines, even several Tier Three Middle-Grade ones.

Moreover, with White Cloud Immortal City near the resource-rich Hundred Savage Mountain, who knows how much Spirit Ore, Demon Beast Materials, and Spirit Stones there are.

So he hurriedly bowed.

"Master, such important things cannot be entrusted to me. Please revoke your order!"

"Huai’an, you are the future hope of our Immortal City. If I don’t entrust these to you, to whom should I give them?"

"Or do you not wish to take on the great responsibility of White Cloud Immortal City?"

Master White Cloud asked sternly.

"Carrying forward White Cloud Immortal City is an unshirkable duty for this disciple!" Xing Huai’an said firmly.

"Since that’s the case, why fuss over trifles? Quickly accept them!"

"Yes!"

Xing Huai’an received them with both hands, a trace of excitement flashing in his heart.

"Alright, there’s nothing else. Quickly go prepare, meet at the East City Gate in an hour!"

"Disciple takes his leave!"

...

Leaving Master White Cloud’s Cave Mansion, Zhou Xun pondered Master White Cloud’s words.

It was obvious that White Cloud Immortal City could no longer be defended, but after leaving, how to evade the pursuit of demon beasts was the big problem.

For him alone, it wasn’t difficult.

In others’ eyes, he was just at the Foundation Establishment Cultivation, not a big target, coupled with the existence of the Heaven-Escaping Talisman, escaping alone wasn’t a problem.

The trouble was Song Yiqing and Zhou Jingsong and others. Their cultivation levels were low, only at the Qi Cultivation Stage. If they got caught in the beast tide, escaping would be impossible.

And his abilities were limited. Bringing Song Yiqing alone was the limit.

If he took too many people, he would be surrounded, and there would be a danger of falling himself.

So he unhesitatingly summoned the Escape Light and returned to his own Cave Mansion.

Due to retreating to the Inner City, Zhou Xun allowed Wang Erniu’s family and Zhou Jingsong’s family to live in his Cave Mansion.

Zhou Xun’s Cave Mansion on White Cloud Mountain was vast enough to accommodate several dozen people.

"Husband, you’re back!"

Upon entering the main gate, Song Yiqing came up to greet him.

"Call Erniu, Jingsong, and the others to come out and wait for me in the reception hall!" Zhou Xun instructed and then headed straight to the Beast Cage to put the Profound Armor Armadillo into the Spirit Beast Bag.

In the reception hall, Wang Erniu and his wife, Zhou Jingsong, Zhou Jimin, and others were all gathered together.

Zhou Xun sat in the main seat, glanced at everyone, and said:

"I call you here for a major matter!"

"The Immortal City... can’t be defended, make preparations early to go to the West City Gate and prepare to evacuate!"

"Be careful not to cause too much commotion and draw others’ attention!"

Upon hearing Zhou Xun’s words, everyone panicked.

"Big brother, isn’t everything alright? Why suddenly can’t we defend and need to evacuate?" Wang Erniu asked, puzzled.

"Brother Boo’an died a few days ago, and today Master Qingtan perished. The Cultivators of Cloud Light Sect have lost their hearts, and will surely retreat,"

"Once they leave, it’s only a matter of time before the Immortal City falls!"

Zhou Xun hesitated, then added.

"This is an order from my master. I can only take ten people!"

In the reception hall, Zhou Jimin and his wife,

Zhou Jingsong and his family of four, plus Wang Erniu’s family, already exceeded ten people.

"What... what should we do now!" Shi Wanying holding her young daughter Zhou Xiuyue asked in panic.

Though she had not been on the city walls to witness the beast tide’s might, she knew its terror from others’ accounts.

"The sooner arrangements are made and we leave, the greater the chances of survival!" Zhou Xun sighed.

At this moment, Zhou Jimin stepped forward and bowed to Zhou Xun:

"Alchemist Zhou, my wife and I are of low cultivation and advanced age, we will not go!"

"Father!" Zhou Jingsong exclaimed in surprise, quickly calling out.

"Song’er, I’ve lived long enough, under a beast tide, I would only be a burden!"

Zhou Jimin smiled, looking at his children and grandchildren.

Zhou Xun said nothing, nodding his head.

"Big brother, about the Lin Family..." Wang Erniu hesitated.

"When we leave the city, send a Sound Transmission Talisman to inform them!" Zhou Xun thought and said.

If the news leaked now and caused a city-wide panic, they might not be able to leave.

"Alright... then!" Now that all of Wang Erniu’s children lived with Zhou Xun, he agreed readily.

Zhou Xun gave the group little time, and after simple preparations, they left the Cave Mansion and flew towards the East City Gate.

...

Arriving at the East City Gate, Master White Cloud was already waiting there.

At this time, the East City Gate was empty, everyone having been moved by Master White Cloud.

"Master!"

Zhou Xun stepped forward to salute, glancing at his friends but saying nothing.

Before long, all the fellow disciples arrived.

Each of them had brought their own family members. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Seeing everyone had arrived, Master White Cloud nodded, waved his hand, and everyone appeared on a massive Tower Ship.

Who would have known that such a massive Tower Ship Flying Ship was hidden here?

Entering the Tower Ship, they discovered it was wrapped in a light shield, a kind of hidden Array.

"Go!"

Master White Cloud lightly commanded, and the Tower Ship swiftly flew over the city walls, heading east.

About thirty miles outside the East City Wall, traces of demon beasts were everywhere.

Master White Cloud cautiously maneuvered the Tower Ship over them.

Silently, the group flew over the demon beast habitat.

Having traveled less than ten miles, a massive dark shadow below lifted its head, its gaze falling squarely on the Tower Ship.

"Damn, it’s that giant lizard!"

Master White Cloud cursed.

It was indeed the Tier Three Great Demon, Huang Yuan Demon King. Why was it here!

Immediately, he took out a Manipulation Token and handed it to Xing Huai’an, then said to all the disciples:

"Huai’an, after you pass the beast horde, disperse and flee immediately. Remember, carry forward the lineage of our White Cloud Immortal City!"

With that, he flashed, appearing in front of the Huang Yuan Demon King, blocking it, and began to fight.

Immediately, Zhou Xun and others took out their respective Flying Spiritual Artifacts and scattered.

Wang Erniu’s family and Zhou Jingsong’s family followed Zhou Xun, transforming into streaks of Spirit Light, leaving rapidly.

At the same time, the huge commotion of Master White Cloud’s clash with Huang Yuan Demon King immediately caught the attention of both the beast horde and the Immortal City cultivators.

Qing Yu Demon King and several other demon kings immediately rushed towards the East City Wall.

Inside the city, Master Jin Hong was waiting inside his Cave Mansion when the colossal noises outside the city caught his attention.

His figure flashed, appearing high in the sky.

Looking towards the East City Gate, he saw the scene of Master White Cloud fighting the Huang Yuan Demon King.

Furious in his heart,

"Damn Old Man White Cloud, actually fled first!"
