Marry a Wife for Longevity, I Will Establish a Family of Immortals

145: Town in chaos, righteous people“Why has the Formation been activated?”

“We need to enter the city! Hurry and open the Formation!”

Suddenly, at this moment, the Cultivators who had previously fled Qingxuan City quickly ran over.

Outside Qingxuan City, many Tianmo Sect Disciples appeared, exuding terrifying Devilish Qi, and began to surround the city.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Lianqi’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he remained silent.

Opening the Formation now would undoubtedly be courting death.

If anyone was to blame, it was these people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, abandoning the town and leaving on their own.

Who would have thought there would be an ambush by the Tianmo Sect outside?

“Elder Zhao!”

“You absolutely must not open the Formation!”

Qing Yangzi stood to the side, watching the Devil Cultivator army approach, his eyes growing serious.

He was afraid that the other party would feel pity.

If the Formation was opened,

it would truly be over.

There must be a Golden Core Late Stage great Devil Head hidden within the Devilish Qi in the sky.

If the Formation were opened now, Qingxuan City would also be finished, leaving no place for burial.

Only by waiting for support was the best option.

“That’s right!”

“These Cultivators are courting death!”

“Don’t blame us!”

“Elder Zhao, absolutely do not open the Formation!”

Above Qingxuan City, many Cultivators had gathered, including Foundation Establishment powerhouses, and a cold glint flashed in their eyes as they looked at the Devil Cultivator army outside the city.

“……”

“Elder Zhao!”

“We, people of the Righteous Path, why should we fear Devil Cultivators?”

Just then, many Cultivators flew into the sky, looking at Elder Zhao and the others, and voiced a different opinion:

“Are you just going to stand by and watch the town’s residents be surrounded by Devil Cultivators and die tragically at their hands?”

“……” Zhao Lianqi’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he listened silently without speaking.

“Exactly!”

“These Cultivators outside!”

“They are our relatives and friends!”

“How can we watch these people die tragically at the hands of Devil Cultivators?”

“Open the Formation!”

As the Cultivators gathered and shouted deafening cries, Qing Yangzi’s brows furrowed slightly, and his face became somewhat grim.

If it were just one or two Loose Cultivators voicing a different opinion, he could still suppress them.

But now, there were hundreds of them, making it difficult to suppress.

Leading the shouts were two Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

This was already a considerable force.

“Hmph!”

“Tianxuan Sect, are you that cowardly?”

“If you won’t save them, I will. If you don’t dare to go out, I dare!”

“Are there any Fellow Daoists who will fight the Devil Cultivators with us?”

“Yes!” Instantly, many Cultivators gathered together and rushed directly out of the city, converging at the edge of the Formation, shouting loudly:

“We, people of the Righteous Path, are we still afraid of Devil Cultivators?”

“Open the Formation, we will meet the Devil Cultivators in battle and save our companions!”

As the slogans rang out, inside Qingxuan City, flags waved and shouts resonated through the heavens and earth.

Seeing this, Su Yuan felt a bit emotional. They were truly passionate, truly brave, selfless, fearless, and eager to help others!

If he didn’t have a family, a wife, and children, he would even want to join them and go kill Devil Cultivators.

However, upon closer thought, this passion seemed a bit off.

It was as if it was organized and premeditated.

Especially when he saw the figures of Wang Jian and his wife among the crowd.

“This…”

Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he pondered.

Were they trying to create public opinion, to put pressure on the Tianxuan Sect to open the Formation?

But even so, Zhao Lianqi would not open the Formation. He would only wait for Sect support, and would not risk opening the city gates to rescue the Loose Cultivators outside the city.

In this way, the reputation of the Tianxuan Sect would be ruined!

“……”

Su Yuan frowned slightly, looking at the troublemakers, who, like Righteous Path individuals, stood on the moral high ground demanding the city gates be opened, his face growing increasingly grim.

Could these all be Tianmo Sect spies?

Would normal people act like this?

“Go back and rest!”

“Qingxuan City is protected by a Formation!”

“It should be fine!”

Su Yuan pondered for a moment, then led Zhou Yi and the others into the room to rest.

He couldn’t concern himself with so much right now.

The crisis in Qingxuan City, the conduct of the Tianxuan Sect, and the Devil Cultivators outside the city—he couldn’t worry about any of it.

The only thing Su Yuan could do was protect his wife and ensure his children’s safety.

That was already enough.

……

Half a day later.

In Qingxuan City, more and more Cultivators were shouting.

They expressed disdain for the Tianxuan Sect’s actions.

Especially their refusal to save lives, cowering and hiding in the town, which drew ridicule.

The Tianmo Sect also seemed to be acting intentionally, merely surrounding the town without attacking, deliberately creating public opinion to condemn the Tianxuan Sect’s actions.

Zhao Lianqi was helpless against all of this; he could only maintain order in the city and pray for Sect support.

“Tianxuan Sect!”

“The strongest Sect in Jin Country?”

“Is this all?”

“Cowardly rats!”

On the streets, many Righteous Path Cultivators waved flags and shouted, venting their dissatisfaction.

“Exactly!”

“They don’t even dare to open the Formation!”

“So cowardly!”

“They watch people die without saving them! It’s a disgrace to be a Righteous Path Sect, absolutely shameful!”

“……”

On the streets of Qingxuan City, many shops had already closed, and everyone was hiding in their homes.

Only Righteous Path Cultivators waved flags and shouted, leading many Cultivators in a parade, angrily denouncing the Tianxuan Sect’s actions.

They vented their dissatisfaction.

“Husband!”

“More and more people are joining the parade!”

Wei Shiyun looked through the crack in the door at the Cultivators on the street, their deafening shouts making her pretty face grow more worried.

“Let them be!”

“Relatives and friends dying tragically, and the Tianxuan Sect refusing to save them, there’s nothing more to say!”

“Anyway, just wait for Sect support!”

In the garden, Su Yuan played with his child, unaffected by the outside world, appearing very calm.

“You certainly have an open mind!”

“Don’t you think something is off about this whole situation?”

Honglian sat in the pavilion, her eyes distant, looking somewhat melancholic:

“Qingxuan City, such a large town, for something like this to happen, and for the major forces not to come to support, it just doesn’t make sense!”

“Especially the Tianxuan Sect, why haven’t they come to support after so long?”

“Could it be that they’ve given up on Qingxuan City?”

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Su Yuan handed Ling’er to Wei Shiyun, then walked into the pavilion to drink tea:

“What good is your worrying?”

“If we had listened to you and run away earlier, we would have already perished in the Yellow Springs!”

“We would have already become vengeful spirits in the hands of Devil Cultivators!”

“……” Honglian opened her mouth, unable to speak, her face feeling a bit hot.

She had indeed wanted to escape at first, to flee the town and stay away from Devil Cultivators, but who would have thought there was an ambush outside, and with Qingxuan City’s Formation opened, they could only perish outside the city.

How desperate that was!

It was like crying out to heaven and earth with no one to answer.

No wonder so many Cultivators in the city were dissatisfied with the Tianxuan Sect.

Even she couldn’t bear to watch; it was truly too tragic.

However, she also knew that the Tianxuan Sect’s actions were not wrong. Facing the monstrous Devil Head in the sky and the Devil Cultivators ambushing outside the city, opening the city gates would undoubtedly lead to certain death.

That would mean dragging everyone along to their graves.
