"Alas, human hearts are hard to predict. We just want to develop our own strength in peace, so why don't they let us go?" Yang Wanqing sighed.
"Uh... Grandma, that's because our motives are not pure. We want to unify Xuantian Star." Chen Siqi said.
"Ahem~, well, let's not go off topic, let's get back to the point and discuss how to overcome this crisis!" Chen Hao said with a light cough.
Then he looked at Li Mingxuan and said, "Mingxuan, Xiuhua, what do you think?"
Li Mingxuan and Chen Xiuhua exchanged a glance, then said in a deep voice: "What we both mean is that Xuantian Star was originally just a place that Mu'er asked us to practice on. If we are invincible, we can't force it. We should lead the disciples of Lingxiao Palace to retreat to the three continents we have conquered before they come."
Li Mingxuan said this after discussing it with Chen Xiuhua. They were not retreating at the critical moment, but if they suffered heavy casualties, Li Mu would definitely not sit idly by after knowing it, and it would surely cost even more to resurrect them at that time.
"Mr. Xuan is right, this is called a tactical retreat! I fully agree with it!" Upon hearing this, everyone turned around and looked at Zhang Jingxuan who was standing at the end.
Han Menglu, who was standing in the second to last row, held her forehead with her hand and wondered why she married such a thing?
However, Zhang Jingxuan did not care about the gazes of the crowd, but said with a righteous face: "In war, the lower-level cultivators are always the ones who get hurt. I don't care, but if we fight them head-on, have you ever thought that with such a huge disparity in strength, those lower-level cultivators and civilians will inevitably lose their homes, be forced to flee, and even lose their loved ones? Even if we defeat the five major sects by miracle, what can those lower-level cultivators and civilians get? Regardless of winning or losing, they are just victims!"
"Don't say anything." Han Menglu whispered.
"Pa pa pa~" However, the next scene made Han Menglu dumbfounded. After Zhang Jingxuan's passionate speech, everyone applauded in unison.
"Since everyone has made a decision, let's go home and pack our things!" said Chen Xianzhi.
"When you leave, try to take as many disciples from Lingxiao Sect as possible, especially those senior disciples. Even if we retreat, I'm afraid the five major sects will retaliate against them!" Li Mingxuan called.
Everyone nodded repeatedly and then dispersed.
It was not until everyone had dispersed that Zhang Jingxuan finally realized what was going on. He then said with a look of relief, "I understand! They finally understood!"
"What the hell, go home and pack your things!" Han Menglu said unhappily.
Two hours later, all the people of Lingxiao Sect had assembled. A total of 12 flying boats that were like aircraft carriers were suspended above Lingxiao City. Each flying boat could carry 300,000 people. At this time, millions of people below were queuing up in an orderly manner to board the boats.
Fortunately, the suppression of Lingxiao by the five nine-star sects in the past few hundred years has caused Lingxiao Sect to drastically reduce the number of places for recruiting disciples, otherwise these 12 super-large flying boats may not be able to accommodate them.
Originally, everyone was thinking of heading to the three major continents separately, but later they thought it was not a good idea. If they were separated, it would be easier to be defeated one by one. In the end, everyone decided to move Lingxiao Sect to the Nebula Continent. That continent is shrouded in fog all year round and is more suitable for defense.
The people of Lingxiao Sect believe that they have many talented people and their cultivation methods are top-notch in the fairy world. As long as they are given enough time, they will return to Xuantian Continent one day. By then, they will sweep away the enemies who are invading today with a devastating force.
"Elder Pipi, what are you thinking about?" Chen Hui had just finished his work when he saw Chen Pipi standing at the bow with his hands behind his back. Looking from the side, he seemed very worried.
"Second Elder, do you think they will destroy this city after we leave?" Chen Pipi frowned as he looked at the magnificent city below.
"Maybe." Chen Hui sighed.
"It's just a city. Why do you two elders have to be so sentimental? The most important thing for us now is to preserve our strength and survive. For us cultivators, a city can be built in a few days." Qiu Ya said with a smile.
"Haha, Junior Brother Qiu is right. It may be because I tend to be nostalgic as I get older." Chen Hui said with a wry smile.
Chen Pipi didn't say anything, but just quietly looked at the people queuing up to get on the boat below. His feelings for Lingxiao City were not comparable to those of Chen Hui and Qiu Ya, because they were all natives of Xuantian Continent and were hundreds of years old when they joined Lingxiao Sect.
Chen Pipi was only 6 years old when he and Li Mu came to Xuantian Continent. It can be said that the best time of his life so far was basically in Lingxiao City.
"It's a pity that my cheap master fell into sleep 600 years ago. Otherwise, with a trace of his residual soul, there would be no need for my Lingxiao Sect to hide!" Bai Ziling also walked forward and sighed.
The others shook their heads with regret when they heard this. Bai Ziling and Li Mu were from the same school, so her master's strength was naturally beyond doubt.
…………
As the sun sets, the remaining clouds look like snow. After a busy day, all the disciples of Lingxiao Sect and their families have finally boarded the cabin.
Li Mingxuan stood in the air in front of the 12 flying boats, waved his hand forward, and shouted: "All disciples, listen to my orders, and set off!"
As Li Mingxuan finished speaking, 12 flying boats roared through the sky like dragons and flew towards the distance.
Wherever the flying boat passed, all the large and small sects and forces below trembled in fear. Those who knew that you were conducting a strategic retreat, while those who didn't thought that you were sending out a large army to cause trouble!
Li Mingxuan and others were helpless about this. They also wanted to retreat quietly, but there was no way. With so many disciples in Lingxiao Sect, they couldn't just leave them alone!
Not long after Lingxiao Sect set out, word of their massive evacuation operation reached the ears of the five nine-star sects.
They had no intention of giving up and immediately issued interception orders to their subordinate forces. At the same time, they also accelerated the pace of assembling the coalition forces, determined to wipe out the Lingxiao Sect in this battle.
Five days later, with the blessing of a large number of top-grade spirit stones, the twelve flying boats of Lingxiao Sect crossed the Xuantian Continent at an incredible speed and arrived at the shore of the East China Sea.
However, they stopped now. Dozens of monks with extraordinary aura were floating in the air in front of them, looking at them in different ways.
"30 scattered immortals!" Li Mingxuan frowned. Originally, the other party would only send out 15 scattered immortals, which would have forced them to retreat without a fight. Now the number has doubled. How can they fight?
“Haha, youngsters of Lingxiao Sect, your retreat has disrupted our plan and made it impossible for the coalition forces to arrive in time, so we can only send a few more old guys.” An old man with gray hair on the temples smiled faintly, and there was not a trace of malice in his words, as if he was chatting with the youngsters.
