The retreat of the Taoists alarmed all the evil cultivators in Guangji, and also caused the Taoists scattered throughout Guangji to rush over upon hearing the news.

Not all Taoists rush to the Immortal Palace after arriving in Guangji.

In front of the last line of defense, many Taoists who knew they couldn't get through gave up and turned to try their luck elsewhere. Among them were the three people who were rescued by Chen Xiao in Jian Liangshan.

Xiao Junjie ran very fast.

The retreating team was very long, and the Chongxuan faction was placed in the middle and rear position because of the injured Xi Yunting.

Scattered personnel like Xiao Junjie, Fang Shimin and Liu Heng were grouped together and walked in the front position.

Xiao Junjie came to deliver something to Huang Keran.

These days, Chen Xiao stayed with Xi Yunting all the time, while hunting and searching for food were left to Huang Keran.

Xiao Junjie learned a lot from Huang Keran and volunteered to help.

Although the story of Xi Yunting's single-handed battle against the evil master Fu Wumo was not deliberately exaggerated, it still spread among Taoist practitioners.

Even though his Dantian was destroyed and his natal sword was shattered, his bravery still made all the Taoists admire him and talk about him with great relish.

Xiao Junjie now admires Xi Yunting, Chen Xiao and their companions from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for their selfless sacrifice, the Taoists would have been trapped on the island in the lake, and in the end, the evil cultivators would have shirked the responsibility and blamed it on Chongshan's magic array.

Huang Keran saw him and waved to him.

Xiao Junjie presented the prey he had caught today, and Huang Keran thanked him.

Xiao Junjie looked at him hesitantly, Huang Keran raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Just say what you want to say, why are you hesitating?"

Xiao Junjie coughed, looked around and said, "We are halfway through the journey, and we are only a few days away from the main city of Guangji evil cultivators. I just want to find out what these people up there are discussing?" He was evasive and asked how to leave Guangji.

When they came, they formed a group and rushed over while the evil cultivator fortress in Luobei was unprepared.

It would be different if they went back. They had more people and a bigger target, and the evil cultivators would definitely be on high alert. Some of them died, some were injured, some were missing, and the elite troops were severely depleted. They no longer had the ability to attack with hard power.

Huang Keran frowned and said, "Don't ask about it if there is nothing to ask."

Xiao Junjie felt a little embarrassed, scratched his face, and said awkwardly: "I'm a little unsure, so I wanted to ask."

As he spoke, he felt a little annoyed in his heart. He shouldn't have been praised by someone, who made him feel as if he had a deep friendship with Chen Xiao and the others as they had been working together for a while. Yet someone even dared to ask about such confidential matters.

Huang Keran sent Xiao Junjie away, prepared the ingredients, and took them to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao’s cooking skills have improved recently, especially in light soups, and he has come up with several kinds.

Huang Keran was amazed and thought his master was very talented. In fact, it was just that Chen Xiao ate too much when he was bedridden in his previous life, so he remembered it.

"What did Xiao Junjie say to you?" Chen Xiao asked without raising his head, looking at the clear soup boiling in the pot.

Huang Keran told Xiao Junjie about his problem and said, "Master, I also want to know how Grandmaster Tai Sheng and his ancestor made the decision."

Chen Xiao glanced at him and said, "It's nothing to tell you, just be careful not to spread it."

Huang Keran nodded repeatedly, and Chen Xiao then told him their plan.

Huang Keran and Xiao Junjie all thought that the action plan was drawn up by many high-level bosses. But in fact, with Zhang Jide's surrender to the enemy, the Refiner Alliance has lost its voice. The Fire Lotus Temple was seriously injured, and all the members of the Changyang Palace disappeared. At present, the only major sects that can speak to Xuwu and Luochen's Great Heaven Realm are the Chongxuan Sect and the Jinchan Sect.

Xi Yunting and Jing Hui are both recuperating and cannot waste their energy, so the only person Tai Sheng can discuss things with is Chen Xiao.

Tai Sheng was too conventional and couldn't come up with any strategy. He could only look at Chen Xiao helplessly. Chen Xiao had no choice but to take on this heavy responsibility.

The lives and deaths of more than a thousand people depend on the shoulders of a sect leader whose entire sect, including all the sect leaders, is less than ten. This may shake the morale of the troops, so naturally it cannot be spread out.

Chen Xiao was troubled for two days, and finally came up with a solution while chatting with Tong Nuonuo.

It is definitely not possible to force their way in, they can only use their wits and defeat the strong with the weak.

Tong Nonuo and the other two had previously passed through the vortex portal through the Hongfu Pavilion's channels, using fake identities. Chen Xiao had heard Tong Nonuo mention that the evil cultivator who came to pick them up was not from the Hongfu Pavilion, but was just cooperating with the Hongfu Pavilion.

Since he is not from Hongfu Pavilion, he can be used.

Chen Xiao didn't expect the evil cultivator to provide fake identities to so many people. He just needed him to help their people sneak in and create chaos everywhere.

After most people's attention was attracted, the large force rushed directly to the vortex portal, occupied the checkpoint, and picked up the people who entered first.

Those who are sent in to carry out lurking and sabotage missions must be bold and careful, know how to adapt to changing circumstances, their cultivation and skills cannot be too bad, and they must have sufficient experience in fighting the enemy.

With all the requirements and restrictions, the heavy responsibility fell on the elite disciples of the two factions.

The people from Huolian Temple did not refuse this time, but the irreconcilable conflicts between them and Jin Chan Sect caused the two sides to dislike each other. For the sake of harmony within the team, it would be better not to do it.

The final leaders of the team were Zhao Fang and De Yuan, while Chang Shou stayed behind to assist Tai Sheng.

Tai Sheng acted as a symbol throughout the whole process. For this final crucial battle, he could not just sit and wait but had to lead the way.

That day, Tai Sheng was wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, his clothes fluttering, his teeth clenched, and he looked majestic without being angry. But only Chen Xiao, who was closest to him, knew the anxiety in this uncle's heart.

"Uncle-master, relax a little. The others you influence are also getting nervous." Chen Xiao said helplessly.

This kind of tension is not cowardice, but the string is tightened with excitement as the war is imminent.

It was good that Tai Sheng had invisibly influenced everyone to enter this state, but if they got excited too early, as time went on, the energy would dissipate and it would be difficult to get it up again.

Tai Sheng looked serious and said nothing, just nodded.

Chen Xiao saw that although he agreed, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't relax his tension, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It seems that not every high-level cultivator can shoulder such a heavy responsibility. Tai Sheng is obviously not as calm as Tai Xuan, and his responsibility is even less than Tai Su.

Among the second generation disciples of the Chongxuan Sect, the most outstanding ones are Liu Shaoguang, Tao Yi and Xi Yunting. With them in the lead, the others cannot stand out.

Among the third generation disciples, Zhao Fang seems to be the most capable and stable, while Chang Shou is a rising star with great potential. Both of them are worthy of training. With their mutual support, the third generation will be able to support the school.

Orderly inheritance and successors are the most important foundation for the development of a sect. When he returns, he should start training the third generation of disciples as soon as possible.

The three current apprentices have been brought into the door. Teaching them is not the end, we also need to let them learn how to train younger disciples.

In this way, the Dongyu sect would not be a flash in the pan and decline after two or three generations.

Waiting for news from the city, Chen Xiao had a blank expression on his face, but his mind was full of wild thoughts.

Although the elite disciples of the two factions were the main force in sneaking into the city this time, the one who took the lead was Tong Nuonuo.

He had to go because he was the only one who knew the evil cultivator.

If she is unlucky, Tong Nuonuo will have to go through the portal alone and go to Luo Bei's fortress to look for it, which will undoubtedly increase the risk.

The only thing in their favor is that the main city of Guangji is not in the hands of any evil sect, but is divided among several evil families. Maybe Fu Wumo will completely occupy this place and unify Guangji in the future, but that is not what Chen Xiao and the others should think about now.

Perhaps thanks to Tong Nuonuo, Chen Xiao and the others didn't have to wait for long before a riot broke out in the city. Gradually, the riot grew bigger and bigger, and most of the people guarding the city gate were attracted away.

Without Chen Xiao's reminder, Tai Sheng gave the order and the Taoist practitioners rushed towards the city gate like a torrent.

After defeating the evil guards at the city gate, the Taoists did not stop and rushed towards the vortex portal.

It was only then that the mansions of the big families in the city realized that it was the Daoxiu who were attacking the city. They hurriedly organized their manpower, but it was already too late.

The seriously injured people abandoned the carriage and were protected in the middle. Hundreds of Taoists entered the city as if they were in an empty space, cutting a line through the huge city and breaking through layers of interception.

Whenever a master from a large family came, several Taoists would risk their lives to cling to him and hold him tightly. They would rather die than let Xi Yunting and Jing Hui, who saved their lives, return to the sect.

When he reached the vortex portal, Chen Xiao's eyes turned red.

In this battle, no one knows how many Taoists fell, paving this path of survival with their blood.

A huge fire broke out in the city, with thick smoke billowing and burning half of the city red.

The city guards, exhausted from chasing after the evil cultivators who were lurking and causing damage, had to give up on the pursuit and turned back to put out the fire.

The fire burned half of the street, which was full of high-end stores owned by big families. As soon as the fire started, the big families were frightened and sent people to rescue the valuable properties inside.

They were shocked, angry and horrified at the Taoists who had caused this terrible chaos. They were actually a little afraid of these desperate criminals who were determined to fight to the death and perish together with their friends.

"This fire was set very well!" Chen Xiao said to Tong Nuonuo who had joined them.

Tong Nuonuo shook his head and said, "This is not my idea. It was proposed by Zhao Fang. If it were me, I would not be willing to burn those precious materials."

Facing Chen Xiao's gaze, Zhao Fangxian was very humble and said, "I just want to tie down their manpower."

"Let's go quickly. By the time the evil cultivator is almost rescued, you won't be able to escape." He knew how much hatred this move would attract. If a specific value could be calculated, Zhao Fang would definitely be at the top of the list.

The first group to go to Luobei was still the large group led by Tai Sheng, who personally sent Xi Yunting and three seriously injured soldiers over, and then Chen Xiao passed by.

Tong Nuonuo was particularly responsible that day, and he stayed behind steadily until Zhao Fang urged him, then he turned and ran towards the vortex portal.

Not all of the evil cultivators stationed here were killed; some escaped, and some surrendered.

The Taoist cultivators did not have so much time to waste on killing prisoners, so they imprisoned the true energy of these surrendered evil cultivators and threw them aside.

When passing by a familiar person, Tong Nuonuo stopped.

He thought about it briefly and remembered that this person was the one who had a strange expression on his face when he and Li Muye were pretending to be Taoist couples and almost exposed him.

He didn't want to cause any trouble, so he tried to hold it in, but couldn't. He went over and kicked the guy hard twice, then let out a breath and continued running towards the portal.

At that time, she and Li Muye were not in love, so Tong Nuonuo didn't think much of it. Now that their relationship has undergone a qualitative change, she realized that this kind of person is really hateful and she has to kick him out.
