Eternal Life as False Emperor

Upon opening it, Lin Junrong’s face changed slightly.

"Elder Wang and the others were ambushed. The situation is urgent, and we must go quickly to provide support."

The situation is urgent, Zheng Yi and the other two briefly explained the situation to Zhao Shan.

"In that case, I will go with you all." Zhao Shan hesitated for a moment, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

The situation at Chixiao Hall is also very critical, but since the people from the Star Sea had just saved him, he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

Lin Junrong waved his hand and said, "Sect Leader Zhao, there’s no need for that. We can handle the support. You should stay at Chixiao Hall to oversee things and quickly repair the Sect Array to prepare for the Nether Spirit Race’s upcoming attack."

"But..." Zhao Shan felt a bit guilty; when his sect was in trouble, others came to their aid. Now, he couldn’t be of any help to others when they faced problems.

Zheng Yi interrupted with a smile, "Sect Leader Zhao, we appreciate your intentions, but the situation is special now. It’s important to look at the bigger picture. Chixiao Hall is located at a strategic point, the foremost defense against the Nether Spirit Race. The most urgent thing is to quickly repair the Mountain Protection Array and restore its defensive capabilities."

"By the way, could we trouble Elder Fengg to stay and assist in defending Chixiao Hall to avoid a repeat of what just happened?"

With Fengg Xia, who is at the Divinity Transformation Stage, present, Chixiao Hall could at least hold out for a while longer.

"No problem." Fengg Xia agreed without hesitation.

Actually, leaving Lin Junrong would be the best option. Her strength is greater, and even if the cultivator army of the Nether Spirit Race were to besiege, she would have more strength to protect herself.

However, Lin Junrong’s Flying Shuttle is faster, and to quickly reach the ambushed location, his Flying Shuttle is needed.

Weighing the pros and cons, it was decided that Fengg Xia would stay behind.

Once arrangements were made, the two got on the Flying Shuttle, heading straight to the location where the Star Sea disciples had been ambushed.

"The enemy seems to understand our situation very well. They are riding the Void Cloud Whale, and it would be unlikely for ordinary methods to find them. It seems the enemy has prepared for this ambush for a long time." Zheng Yi thought with a frown.

"By the way, at our current speed, how long will it take us to reach the ambushed location?"

"A day will be enough." Lin Junrong said confidently.

Zheng Yi raised an eyebrow. "In that case, let’s engage in Dual Cultivation a few times quickly."

"Here?" Lin Junrong was taken aback. Although the two had engaged in Dual Cultivation before, Lin Junrong didn’t think much of it. But in the face of such a big enemy, engaging in Dual Cultivation seemed inappropriate.

"This is about leaving some prepared measures." Zheng Yi honestly didn’t think much of it.

After entering the Canglan Realm, his cultivation progressed rapidly.

But no matter how fast the progress, he was still only at the Golden Core Stage, and even if comparable to the Golden Core Peak, he was not at the true Golden Core Peak.

The best means of improvement, naturally, was to use Dual Cultivation, absorbing the spiritual qi of a Divinity Transformation expert for his own use.

Ximing Mountain.

A giant whale floated above the mountain peak.

The giant whale’s body was enveloped in the glow of an array, attacks from all directions fell like raindrops, striking the array and making it shimmer with a golden light.

Many cultivators were battling around the whale, with explosive sword qi everywhere on the battlefield, and various magics rising and falling.

The two most conspicuous individuals, one was Elder Wang Haiwong of the Star Sea.

Opposing Wang Haiwong was a human cultivator, holding a trident-like magical artifact, with hair disheveled like a Fierce Ghost.

"Daring to kill my son, I’ll make you pay a thousandfold! Die!" Black aura suddenly exploded from his body, wrapping around the trident, and swept toward Wang Haiwong from hundreds of meters away.

Wang Haiwong dared not confront his sharpness, a stream of water suddenly swirled beneath his feet, carrying him far away to evade the attack.

"Ouyang Qi, your son openly challenged my Star Sea at the gates of our mountain. Killing him alone or even wiping out your Qingzhu Mountain would go unquestioned."

"We didn’t come looking for trouble with you, yet you dare jump out barking wildly."

"I’m also curious, what benefits did the Nether Spirit Race offer you, for you to work so hard for them?"

"Don’t forget, you are human, helping the Nether Spirit Race doesn’t end well."

Responding to Wang Haiwong was an attack fiercer than before, "Don’t spout nonsense, I only know that you Star Sea people killed my son, and I will make you pay with your lives!" Ouyang Qi roared furiously, closing in step by step, seemingly eager to tear Wang Haiwong to pieces.

"Old fool, if you dare, don’t dodge, and fight me for three hundred rounds."

Even though Wang Haiwong wanted to teach Ouyang Qi a lesson, Ouyang Qi’s strength was indeed above his own, so he chose to avoid confrontation for now.

Compared to what he knew of Ouyang Qi, those who ambushed them must have used secret techniques unknown to them, making them exceedingly powerful.

These individuals clearly knew their route.

They had already set up an array here, not only pulling the Void Cloud Whale out of the void but also firmly holding it in place, leaving them no means of escape.

The sudden ambush caught the people of Star Sea off guard.

However, Wang Haiwong and the others were not afraid.

After all, the majority of Star Sea’s force was present, and unless the Nether Spirit Race launched a large-scale attack, they couldn’t easily be overcome.

Especially upon discovering that the attackers were Qingzhu Mountain cultivators, Wang Haiwong wasn’t overly concerned.

How could mere Qingzhu Mountain be a match for their Star Sea?

Yet, as soon as the battle began, Wang Haiwong was surprised to find that Qingzhu Mountain was far stronger than expected.

Even with fewer numbers, the enhanced strength of Star Sea was momentarily suppressed.

The Qingzhu Mountain cultivators seemed indifferent to their own survival.

With frenzied attacks, fully adopting a stance of life for life.

In such circumstances, Star Sea’s weaknesses were fully exposed.

Since most of the sect’s members were female cultivators, morale dropped sharply in the face of intense combat.

Although stronger, they hesitated to risk it all against their foes.

Thus, the battlefield often saw an early-stage Golden Core Qingzhu Mountain cultivator, eyes bloodshot, chasing Star Sea’s female disciples all over the place.

Fortunately, they fought around the Void Cloud Whale.

In critical situations, they could retreat into the Void Cloud Whale under their companions’ cover to temporarily avoid its pursuit.

Facing such circumstances, Wang Haiwong was unsure what to do, so he and the other elders persisted with gritted teeth.

And sent for help from Zheng Yi.

Facing Ouyang Qi’s provocation, Wang Haiwong was unfazed: "Ouyang Qi, don’t bother with Provocation Techniques. Though I don’t know how you’ve boosted Qingzhu Mountain’s strength so much."

"Any cultivation technique that greatly boosts power surely has side effects."

"We can take our time. I want to see how long you can hold out."

Wang Haiwong was certain that the longer the delay, the more favorable it was for them.

Though puzzled why, even after three days, the Qingzhu Mountain cultivators remained so lively.

However, continuously using powers beyond one’s realm for prolonged combat surely demands a significant toll on the body.

Despite Ximing Mountain’s remoteness, it’s still within human territory.

With humans warring against the Nether Spirit Race, regardless of whether Ouyang Qi was avenging his son or had other motives for attacking them,

it wasn’t feasible to battle here for too long.

Even if Zheng Yi couldn’t make it in time, other sect cultivators should have received the message and arrived for support by now.

Of course, what truly reassured Wang Haiwong in defending here was...

The instruction Zheng Yi gave him before they set off.
