Chapter 190: Rescue (1/2)

Chapter 190: Rescue

Within the Boundary Mountain Range, despite the cultivation sects of Jin'an City having control over the Spirit Stone veins, tranquility eluded them.

The Demonic Beasts they had previously defeated and driven away would frequently return, employing various methods to harass and attack them, leaving them in constant vigilance.

The newly acquired Spirit Stone veins couldn't be mined immediately due to a lack of manpower, and they had to construct defensive structures. The crude walls and formations previously built by the Demon Clan were unusable.

All of this required manpower and resources mobilized from Jin'an City. However, news arrived that the Demon Clan had launched a Beast Tide to attack Jin'an City, cutting off their crucial support.

Although Jin'an City's main forces were concentrated here, losing the follow-up support from the city meant they were left isolated, struggling to gather the necessary materials even for setting up defensive formations.

Without the ability to build a city or deploy formations, they would be vulnerable to constant harassment from Demonic Beasts. If Jin'an City fell to the Demonic Beasts and another Beast Tide was unleashed, even low-tier Demonic Beasts could overwhelm them.

No one knew when the Demon Clan had produced such a cunning strategist, who could easily manipulate the fate of Jin'an City with a few simple steps.

At this moment, six Golden Core cultivators gathered to discuss whether they should go back for reinforcements.

"Everyone, we've been outplayed by the Demon Clan this time. The current situation is clear to all. What do you think is the best course of action? Should we go back and reinforce Jin'an City?" a cultivator named Xiao asked.

"I believe we must save Jin'an City. There are significant resources still stored there, which we urgently need. Moreover, even though we've seized the Spirit Stone veins here, we still need a large workforce. With just over two thousand people, it's challenging to manage this place effectively," a cultivator named Yao, with white hair, spoke.

"Though what Senior Yao said makes sense, even if we rush back now, we might not necessarily save Jin'an City. If Jin'an City doesn't receive reinforcements, we risk losing both the Spirit Stone veins we've gained and our forces," another cultivator named Shao expressed a differing opinion.

"But if Jin'an City falls, we'll struggle to preserve this place, and we can't afford to lose here. Why not send a portion of our forces for reinforcement? If we can break the siege of Demonic Beasts around the city, that's the best outcome. Even if not, we can assist those breaking through and save some people," a cultivator from the Qingxu Sect named Song suggested after wiping his mouth.

"The idea is good, but who should go now?" a cultivator named Wang questioned.

Everyone remained silent, knowing the dangers involved. In the end, they all looked at Daoist Song.

"Alright! Since I proposed it, I'll be the one to go."

With the plan settled, the six dispersed.

Daoist Song then gathered all Foundation Building cultivators.
