Chapter 441
The monk knew that this was a pity and not the outcome that everyone wanted to see, but he did not expect that everyone's reaction would be even more desperate than he imagined.
Some covered their faces and sobbed, some stamped their feet and growled, and some had dejected expressions, standing silently in place as if they had lost their souls.
It was clearly someone else who was in danger, but their reaction was even more intense than if they were in danger themselves.
No wonder Senior Brother Cui likes Qiu Luocheng the most.
The seven emotions and six desires of mortals are so precious, which is something that monks often ignore during their practice.
The monk looked away dejectedly.
Among the crowd, only Song Jizhe was relatively calm. Although his eyes were red, he still asked calmly:
"Is it possible that the city lord is still alive?"
The monk didn't have the heart to tell them the truth, but he wasn't a good liar either. He opened and closed his mouth, but in the end he told the truth:
"Probably not. Chu Xiao's three villains are about to break through their realm and desperately need the essence of the pure ghost body. I'm afraid they will take the essence away today no matter what. We are here for this reason."
In addition, Cui Yuankui’s body may also be in the hands of Qingxin and others.
When Song Jizhe heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened up and he said anxiously:
"Then can you save our city lord?"
The monk shook his head, a hint of frustration spreading uncontrollably across his young face.
"We are weak, and we are only alive because of luck. Senior Brother Cui may not even know that we are still alive..."
His companion noticed his dejection and patted his shoulder. His voice was filled with murderous intent:
"Don't lose heart. Now that Senior Brother Cui is gone, we are the last cultivators of the Songshan Sect and the true backbone of the Immortal Sect! Even if we die, we can't just sit there and watch Qingxin and the others act recklessly!"
By the time this was said, all the barriers surrounding Qiuluo City had been shattered, and the monks were ready to enter Qiuluo City.
The monk who spoke first had now recovered his spirits, and the frustration in his eyes was replaced by a fearless attitude.
Before he set off, he turned back and warned Song Jizhe:
"Now that the barrier is destroyed, Qingxin and the others probably won't be able to find you. Take advantage of this opportunity and leave quickly."
After saying that, he turned around to leave, but Song Jizhe grabbed his arm.
"Who are Qingxin and the others? Weren't they the monks from Sushan Sect who destroyed us?"
Song Jizhe knew that if they didn't ask about some things now, they would never have the chance to know them in the future, so he asked without caring about anything else.
Facing Song Jizhe, the cultivator was quite patient and explained softly, "Zhao Hunyuan and his men from the Sushan Sect are all Chu Xiao's lackeys, following orders and bearing the bad reputation. The ones who truly want to destroy your Qiuluo City and take your City Lord's life are Chu Xiao's faction from the Songshan Sect."
"Then is there anything we can do to help?"
Someone suddenly spoke from behind Song Jizhe, "We want to save the city lord, and we're not afraid of death! Can you take us with you?"
As soon as this voice came out, more people responded, and everyone grasped the monk's last straw.
The people of Qiuluo City are so united.
They are not afraid of death, but they cannot let go of the bell strings.
Not only the original residents of Qiuluo City, but also the refugees that Zhongxian later took in raised no objections.
Although they had not been in Qiuluo City for long, Zhong Xian still carefully arranged everything for them and tried his best to save their lives.
They are grateful.
"Nonsense!" The monk's face changed and he quickly refused, "You are just mortals. You will die if you go!"
Song Jizhe shook his head and said seriously, "If the City Lord can't rescue us, we'll be as good as dead! We'll live in endless self-blame and guilt. We've endured it for long enough!"
Zhong Xian's parents are their benefactors.
Zhong Xian is also their benefactor.
Qiuluo City is the home they built with great effort.
Their homes were wantonly destroyed, their family members were poisoned and harmed, and every grave and every corpse in the cemetery belonged to people they had lived with day and night, and even grew up with!
In order to save Zhong Xian and more people, they could only hide their murderous intentions towards the monks in their hearts, and they had been enduring this for a long time.
Now that Zhong Xian is about to get into trouble, how can they escape with peace of mind?
"We will not die in vain. We still have hope."
Although Song Jizhe was emotionally agitated, his mind was still clear. He spoke to the monks seriously and quickly:
"You don't want Qingxin and the others to succeed, we want to save the city lord. In the final analysis, your goal is the same as ours, right?
"Also, we have friends from the demon tribe. They previously rebelled against the Immortal Sect and were imprisoned in the dungeon of Qiuluo City. Only we know where they are. If we can release the demon tribe and work together, will we still have a chance of winning?"
Yu Xi, who was listening quietly on the side, was stunned for a moment.
When did the demons rebel?
Could it be that this happened when she passed out when Qingpei took her away?
That's right, thinking about it, since she woke up at that time, except Qingpei, she hasn't seen any demons in Qiuluo City.
At the time, I thought the demons were all hiding in the shelter, but now it seems that the demons had already rebelled at that time? And were they all captured by the immortal sect?
When the monk heard this, he quickly asked, "Are the demons in Qiuluo City still alive? Haven't Qingxin and the others killed them yet?"
Song Jizhe quickly shook his head: "Except for Qingpei who can move freely, all the monsters are locked up in the dungeon. It seems that the monks of Sushan Sect are planning to use them to make something, but they haven't prepared enough materials yet."
When the monks heard that the demons might still be alive, they were obviously delighted.
The demon tribe is quite powerful. If they can help and work together, they might be able to stop Qingxin and the others' plan to extract the essence.
The monk quickly contacted his companions and said, "Tell everyone not to act rashly. We may have new companions."
Then, the monk said to Song Jizhe, "Just draw the location of the dungeon for us..."
Song Jizhe said hurriedly, "There are many dungeons, and the enemy won't let us approach them easily. Someone must lead them away. Also, you are cultivators. If you rashly approach the demon tribe, they will definitely not trust you."
The demon race should be more hostile to the immortal cultivators than they are now.
Song Jizhe said several words in a row that the monk could not refute.
They really knew how much the demons hated cultivators nowadays.
Song Jizhe continued, "We are not strong, but we can send some people as bait, and another small group to stay close to the dungeon. You help deal with the monks near the dungeon and release the demons first."
