Fortunately, the Alien Demon Clan is not like it was in ancient times, launching large-scale invasions. The Twelve Immortal Cities are basically able to resist. If neutral forces like the Haoyuan Sect do not participate in demon eradication, the Twelve Immortal Cities will jointly eliminate them. They have the confidence to do so. Because each Immortal City can be regarded as a first-class power, and each Immortal City has at least two or more Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Although there are only twelve of them, and they each act independently without interfering with each other, they will only jointly resist when the Alien Demon Clan invades. But with so many Nascent Soul stage cultivators, no sect wants to confront them. Historically, some sects have ignored the demon eradication orders of the Twelve Immortal Cities and were annihilated in an instant. The Twelve Immortal Cities were established to resist the Alien Demon Clan. Although they are no longer controlled by the original ancient forces, every force that takes over an Immortal City has taken on the responsibility of resisting the Alien Demon Clan. The rotation of the Immortal City controllers is also irregular. As long as you can defeat the original forces of any Immortal City, you can control an Immortal City. But you also bear the responsibility.
The controllers of the twelve Immortal Cities are also controlled by some forces in the region where the Immortal Cities are located. There are forces with sect alliances, like the Nine Great Sects. There are also super sects with single families, and Immortal Cities occupied by loose cultivator alliances. The Yanhsia Immortal City that issued the demon eradication order to the Haoyuan Sect is occupied by loose cultivators. There are currently four Nascent Soul stage loose cultivators occupying this city. Yanhsia City is a large Immortal City where loose cultivators gather, and this strength is only ranked at the bottom among the Twelve Immortal Cities. Zhang Ling was able to accurately know this information because of Wei Shen's threat a few years ago, he specifically checked the sect's classics to find out. At that time, when he left the Haoyuan Sect, one of his choices was to go to Yanhsia City to become a loose cultivator. Unexpectedly, a demon eradication order appeared at this time, and forces such as the Haoyuan Sect naturally had to pay attention to it. Then, Sect Leader Wang Chengfeng explained it to them, nothing more than sect interests and righteousness. It wasn't until more than an hour later that these Foundation Establishment disciples left Yangtian Hall. As for the subsequent arrangements, they still need to discuss with the sect's several Core Formation elders, and tell them not to leave the sect if they have nothing to do recently. Zhang Ling returned to his cave dwelling, his face also gloomy. This Alien Demon Clan advance of more than a hundred years did not seem like a good thing. He also felt some dangerous aura. It seems that it is impossible to cultivate in peace. In the following days, Zhang Ling was also refining pills. While he was preparing the pills needed for cultivation, he also went back to the Sutra Collection Pavilion and exchanged for a second-tier spell compendium. It contains a large number of second-tier spells of the five elements, as well as some spells of different attributes such as wind and thunder. Each of these second-tier spells is not simple, unlike the primary spells. These second-tier spells, even cultivators who have been in the Foundation Establishment stage for many years, have not mastered many. While he was studying these second-tier spells, he also selected a few second-tier spells to cultivate. The power of the second-tier spells is already considerable, and it is much more difficult to cast them. Studying these spells can also give you more confidence when you encounter enemies in the future. …… A month later, he was summoned by the Sect Leader again. At the same time, there were four other Foundation Establishment stage disciples. One of the four was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and three were in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, including Wu Minghan. When Wu Minghan saw him, he showed a wry smile. The others also looked bad. "Since all of you fellow disciples have arrived, then I will be frank," the Sect Leader said directly, looking at the five of them.
"Some Alien Demon Clan cultivators have already appeared in the area of the Lianyun Mountains, and some cultivators in the major Immortal Cities have been attacked and killed. More than 30 Foundation Establishment cultivators have also fallen." "Therefore, after discussion by the Core Formation elders, it was decided to send disciples to support. Fellow disciples must do their best!" "Although it is somewhat dangerous, it is also an opportunity for us. Your task is also simple, which is to guard a formation site for ten years." "When the time is up, you can return to the sect. You will also receive merit points issued by Yanhsia City, which can be exchanged for rare resources in any of the Twelve Immortal Cities. If you have enough merit points, it is not impossible to exchange for spiritual objects that increase the chance of forming a Golden Core." "You are all pillars of the sect, don't be like this old man who, although his strength has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, has no chance of forming a Golden Core in this life." Wang Chengfeng said, with deep helplessness in his eyes, but this emotion was only fleeting, and then he continued. "Moreover, the sect will also give some benefits. You will receive 300 sect contribution points every year, and at the same time, you will have a chance to enter the fourth floor of the Sutra Collection Pavilion and the second floor of the Treasure Cave to choose any treasure." Hearing this, Zhang Ling and the other five also showed different expressions. The reactions were different. Some were expressionless and very calm, and some were happy. The fourth floor of the Sutra Collection Pavilion collects the sect's true inheritance secrets, which are one of the foundations of the sect. The Treasure Cave is also the same. Although the second floor mostly contains treasures needed for the Foundation Establishment stage, there are also many good things. Zhang Ling lowered his head and thoughts turned in his mind. Not to mention these benefits, since the Sect Leader called them here, presumably the sect's high-level officials have also discussed it. They are afraid that there is no room for negotiation and can only obey orders. "Sect Leader, I have recently been practicing a secret technique and am at a critical juncture. Can it be delayed for a few days?" Suddenly, the dark-faced male cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment rolled his eyes and opened his mouth to Wang Chengfeng with a look of embarrassment. Wang Chengfeng glanced at this person and frowned. "Junior Brother Deng, it's not that Senior Brother is using the name of the Sect Leader to pressure you. These major events are all discussed by several uncles and senior uncles. In addition to you, there are other teams of fellow disciples who have arrangements. I don't have the right to decide these things." "Wang is just conveying the decision of the sect elders. If you fellow disciples have any objections, you can personally go to the elders to complain. These days, all the senior uncles are here. It is not difficult to meet them." Wang Chengfeng said, cupping his hands to the void on the side to show his respect for the elders. However, Zhang Ling and the others understood the meaning in his tone. "Ah, so it was the decision of several elders." The man frowned a few times, gave a dry laugh, and never mentioned the matter again. "This is also a helpless matter, and the sect has also decided to send several Core Formation elders to support Yanhsia City. Even our Haoyuan Sect's Supreme Elder, Old Ancestor Tianfeng, will appear. If you have the opportunity, you will naturally be able to see him." Then the Sect Leader revealed some more information to them. Of course, they did not dare to argue with any Core Formation elders and closed their mouths. Zhang Ling sneered in his heart. Since this person's words have reached this point, how can it be so simple to shirk responsibility when things come to a head? "Do you fellow disciples have any questions?" Seeing the few people looking at each other, Wang Chengfeng narrowed his eyes, a flash of cunning in his eyes, seized this opportunity, and glanced at everyone. Seeing that no one answered, he said again: "Since there are no objections, this matter is settled." "Let's set off in three days." ……
