At this moment, several figures hovered above Dongyuan City.

These people are all cultivators from Cangzhou who came to support Longyuan City.

Seeing the Purple-Eyed Demon King make his move.

A hint of helplessness flashed in everyone's eyes.

The leader sighed, "The Purple-Eyed Demon King has personally come out; we alone cannot stop him... Let's retreat."

His voice carried a hint of regret.

"But senior, we've held out for so long. If we retreat now, all our previous efforts will have been in vain..."

The one who spoke was a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

His name is Sheng Yinuo. He is the head of the Sheng family in the Northern Region and the nominal leader of the cultivators in Dongyuan City.

But now, covered in blood and grime, he was in a sorry state, showing no trace of the demeanor of a Nascent Soul expert.

They have been resisting the sea creatures here for nearly two months.

In order to defend Dongyuan City.

At least a hundred golden pills were sacrificed.

Ten Nascent Soul cultivators have perished.

The remaining Nascent Soul cultivators were all injured.

As for those below the Golden Core stage, such as Foundation Establishment cultivators, Qi Refining cultivators, and even mortals.

Countless people were killed or injured.

It is no exaggeration to say that after this battle, a huge gap will appear in the cultivation of the Northern Region.

Such a huge price was paid.

If Dongyuan City falls to the enemy.

That would mean all the previous deaths and injuries were for nothing!

Sheng Yinuo was unwilling to accept this.

It's not just for those cultivators who sacrificed their lives for Dongyuan City.

And for his own sake.

For the sake of the Sheng family.

Now, all the descendants of the Sheng family are in Dongyuan City.

With the sea creatures completely surrounding Dongyuan City.

These Nascent Soul cultivators can withdraw at their leisure.

But what about the younger disciples?

If all these descendants die.

What's the point of him running away alone?!

The cultivator whom Sheng Yinuo pleaded with.

He is the only cultivator in Dongyuan City who has reached the Nascent Soul stage.

He was also the only cultivator who could delay the Purple-Eyed Demon King.

Although they couldn't drive away the Purple-Eyed Demon King, delaying him for a while wasn't a problem.

"Senior... I'm begging you, for the sake of the tens of thousands of lives in Dongyuan City, please help us delay the Purple-Eyed Demon King."

Sheng Yinuo knelt down on one knee and pleaded with the cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage.

However, upon hearing his request, a hint of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the Nascent Soul cultivator.

Based on his combat prowess.

Holding off the Purple-Eyed Demon King isn't actually a problem.

But it comes at a high price.

After all, his cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The Purple-Eyed Demon King's combat power is conservatively estimated to be at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

Fighting them would be extremely risky.

A slight misstep could result in serious injury.

Unless it is absolutely necessary.

He would never be so foolish as to provoke someone like the Purple-Eyed Demon King.

As for all living beings within Dongyuan City.

What does this have to do with him?

His willingness to support Dongyuan City is already a great favor to the cultivators of the Northern Region.

"No, the Demon King of the Eastern Region is too powerful, and even I am no match for him."

The Nascent Soul cultivator shook his head and said coldly, "I have fulfilled my duty. The rest is up to you."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of despair crossed Sheng Yinuo's eyes, and she said, "But senior..."

He wanted to plead again, but before he could speak, he was interrupted.

"Stop talking. Before the Purple-Eyed Demon King arrives, take as many people as you can and escape."

“Dragging this out any further will not benefit you…”

After speaking, the Nascent Soul cultivator turned his head and glanced at the Purple-Eyed Demon King who was approaching from afar.

He turned around and said to the cultivators from Cangzhou following behind him, "Never mind them, let's go first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve, and a crack appeared in the void.

Through the cracks, one can see the raging, violent void lightning.

But these lightning bolts were blocked by an invisible force, forming a long, narrow, and deep tunnel.

Traveling through the void is a privilege of Nascent Soul cultivators.

Then, the Nascent Soul cultivator led the others inside.

Then the crack in the void slowly closed.

Only Sheng Yinuo remained, kneeling motionless in mid-air.

"Senior, the Purple-Eyed Demon King is only three hundred miles away from us..."

After an unknown amount of time, a panicked voice came from afar.

Sheng Yinuo was brought back to reality.

The newcomer was a cultivator at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, wearing a robe that obscured his true appearance.

He was covered in wounds, large and small, and his aura was erratic.

It's clear they've just gone through a tough battle.

"Senior, what did that Nascent Soul senior say? If he doesn't take action soon, then our Dongyuan City will truly be in danger..."

The cultivator flew in, his voice filled with panic and helplessness.

Sheng Yinuo snapped out of her daze, a bitter, desperate smile curling at the corners of her lips.

"That senior has no intention of helping us and has already left with his men..."

Sheng Yinuo paused for a moment at this point.

He looked up at the azure sky.

He said calmly, "Dongyuan City can't be defended. Quickly tell the others this news, and tell them to run if they can..."

Upon hearing this, the cultivator's expression stiffened, and his eyes instantly dimmed.

He nodded, gathered his remaining magical power, and unleashed his amplification ability.

"Fellow Daoists..."
