Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal-Chapter 235 - 165: The Fall of White Cloud

Master Jin Hong didn’t expect that Master White Cloud shared the same thought as them.

Contemplating retreat.

One must know, in the current situation where the beast horde is besieging the city, leaving first would catch the demon beasts off guard.

But for those who come after, it would be a head-on collision.

The strength of these beast hordes is extraordinary, with five Great Demons among them.

Even for him, Master Jin Hong, there was a risk of falling.

However, time was pressing, and there was no time to question them.

But before the agreed-upon time, only less than half of his people had gathered by his side.

"Master Jin Hong, what should we do?" A chubby elder in a blue-green feather robe asked.

This person was one of the Fake Pill Cultivators supporting from Cloud Light Sect this time.

"Leave immediately, or we’ll be trapped in the city if we’re late!" Master Jin Hong gritted his teeth and said.

"What about Brother Yun Feng and the others?"

"We can’t care about that, send them a Sound Transmission Talisman!" Master Jin Hong said, taking out a talisman, whispered a few words, and then tossed it into the air.

The talisman turned into a streak of firelight and flew away.

"Let’s go!" Master Jin Hong said, then left quickly with the elder, along with over thirty Foundation Establishment Cultivators, heading towards the South City Wall.

As they left, they spread the news of Master White Cloud’s retreat along the way.

...

On the other side, the Red Leaf Square Lin Family also received the news at this time.

"Grand Elder, you called for me, what is it?" Lin Anshu had just stepped into the room when he saw Lin Yuanru, his face full of urgency.

"The Immortal City can’t be defended, Master White Cloud has already retreated with his men!"

"What!"

Lin Anshu was shocked.

With Master White Cloud leaving, how could the White Cloud Immortal City possibly withstand the beast horde?

"What do we do?"

"Quick, inform all the clansmen, depart immediately!"

Just as they were ready and had just walked out the door, they heard the commotion of the battle between Master White Cloud and the Huang Yuan Demon King.

"Go, to the North City Gate!"

Lin Yuanru pondered for a moment, then immediately ran towards the North City Gate.

...

Master White Cloud was indeed worthy of being a cultivator who had held off against the Qing Yu Demon King for a long time, as the Huang Yuan Demon King couldn’t gain any advantage.

Yet strangely, Master White Cloud didn’t use any Magical Treasures, relying only on spellcasting to battle.

If he used the Wood Radiance Gourd, Huang Yuan Demon King would surely fall into a disadvantage.

After a long standoff between the human and the demon, suddenly a few black shadows rushed over from a distance.

Master White Cloud felt a chill in his heart, immediately feigned an attack to force the Huang Yuan Demon King back, then flashed into the White Cloud Immortal City, returning to within the array’s range.

At this time, the entire White Cloud Immortal City was in chaos.

Someone saw Master White Cloud near the East City Gate, and immediately bowed to inquire: 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Greetings, Master. They say you intend to abandon the Immortal City, is that true?"

Master White Cloud was silent upon hearing this, then raised his head, infused some mana, and his voice penetrated most of the inner city.

"The Immortal City is difficult to defend, everyone should run for their lives!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a streak of spirit light shot out, lifting the restrictions on exiting the array.

The cultivators residing in White Cloud Immortal City all had the city’s waist plaques, allowing them to leave freely.

But entering was not possible.

"Master, are you abandoning us?"

Someone cried out.

"The Immortal City is hard to defend; it’s a foregone conclusion. Staying here only means waiting for death. The people of Cloud Light Sect have already left; you should leave quickly too!"

Master White Cloud glanced at the man before him, then no longer paid attention.

Soon, the cultivators within the Immortal City swarmed out of the major city gates, fleeing for their lives.

However, escaping in the face of such numerous beasts was easier said than done.

Master White Cloud couldn’t care about so much now because five Great Demon Kings were already blocking outside the East City Wall.

On this side of the Immortal City, only Master White Cloud stood, separated by the Defense Light Shield of the Mountain Protection Array, facing them.

Facing the five Great Demons outside, he was unfazed.

"Having crossed swords with fellow Daoist several times, Qing has not gained any advantage. Why have you become the type to crave life and fear death now!"

"If so, why not join under my command?"

The Qing Yu Demon King looked at Master White Cloud in the distance and said softly.

"Craving life and fearing death!"

Upon hearing this, Master White Cloud smiled slightly, didn’t refute, but cupped his hands.

"After days of battle, I still don’t know your name, fellow Daoist?"

Even for demon beasts, when they reach the level of Great Demon, they can be addressed as fellow Daoists.

"I am the Qing Yu Demon King!" the Cyan Snake’s voice was arrogant and cold.

"Qing Yu Demon King... your strength is outstanding, I’ve never seen such in my life!" Master White Cloud said indifferently, without a hint of flattery in his tone.

"Our Lord Qing Yu possesses the bloodline of the Soaring Snake, with extraordinary aptitude; it’s highly likely he will become the Demon Emperor in the future,"

"Fellow Daoist, wouldn’t it be wonderful to join under such a lord’s command!" At this time, the Hu Yu Demon King spoke to persuade.

"The Soaring Snake bloodline, a Demon Emperor seed!"

Master White Cloud muttered, a glint flashing in his eyes!

"In that case, I wouldn’t lose out!"

The Demon Emperor is a Tier Four demon, equivalent to a human Nascent Soul Cultivator.

"May I ask the names of the other four Daoists, and which race do you belong to?" Master White Cloud continued to ask.

"From the Profound Boar Race, Xuan Lang Demon King!"

"From the Snow Fox Race, Hu Yu Demon King!"

"From the Giant Race, Fengg Yong Demon King!"

"From the Yellow Lizard Race, Huang Yuan Demon King!"

It seemed that they all believed Master White Cloud truly intended to surrender, so they all reported their names.

"The strength of each of you Daoists is impressive; Yun Mou is in awe, but as we are not of the same race, our hearts will differ. I am a proud member of the Human Race; how could I join you beasts!"

Master White Cloud laughed loudly, full of disdain.

"You!"

Fengg Yong Demon King was furious and immediately stepped forward, raising a huge palm to fiercely slap the light shield.

The shield shook with the impact.

"Since you insist on seeking death, Qing shall grant your wish!"

The Qing Yu Demon King’s eyes flashed with cold light, his mouth opened, and a massive light sphere emerged.

Seeing this, Master White Cloud didn’t hesitate at all, turned around, and swiftly vanished into the White Cloud Mountain Range.

As the Qing Yu Demon King made his move, the Defense Light Shield didn’t resist long before breaking instantly.

Five Great Demons rushed into the inner city.

Inside, many cultivators who hadn’t had time to leave, like ants,

were effortlessly slain by the five Great Demons.

The five demons headed directly to the base of White Cloud Mountain.

Gazing at the majestic and divine White Cloud Mountain, the Qing Yu Demon King took a deep breath of Spiritual Qi and praised:

"A nice Spirit Land!"

Only Fengg Yong Demon King among the present Great Demons possessed a Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Vein.

"Do you think hiding on this mountain will let you escape!" the Qing Yu Demon King’s words reverberated across the whole White Cloud Mountain.

At this time, Master White Cloud sat at the peak of White Cloud Mountain, his dao robe immaculate and neatly arranged.

He ignored the words of the Qing Yu Demon King.

Just looked at the Array Manipulation Command Flag in his hand, where a Firebird Demon Spirit with one less wing slept.

"Old friend, today Yun Mou shall avenge you!"

He then glanced down at the Immortal City.

Looking at the grand city he founded over centuries, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

Immediately, he formed a seal with both hands and pointed to the command flag.

The command flag rose into the air, emitting rays of spirit light scattering in all directions, penetrating into the ground beneath White Cloud Mountain.

At the same time, Master White Cloud closed his eyes, and together with White Cloud Mountain, emitted a heart-stopping wave from inside out.

The wave became more pronounced, a savage aura spread out.

Finally perceived by the Qing Yu Demon King and others at the mountain’s base.

"What’s this?"

Before the words finished.

A massive power erupted from within White Cloud Mountain, engulfing like a whale absorbing water, spreading in all directions.
