After hearing what Qin Yueting reported, Chen Lin also felt a little confused.
If it were peacetime, not only would the cultivators come here on their own initiative, the Immortal City would even go out to advertise and recruit people. However, the resources stored in the Immortal City are limited, and problems would easily arise if the population was too large.
"Don't let them enter the city yet, but don't force them to leave either. Let's say the city is overcrowded and let them build their own homes outside the city. If monsters attack, our Immortal City will provide a certain degree of protection."
Chen Lin finally decided not to let these people enter the city. The Silver Fairy had already issued an order to seal the city, and it must be strictly enforced.
After thinking for a while, he continued, "But don't be too rigid. If it's a Jindan-level cultivator, or someone with a special status, you still have to give them some privileges. You can control the degree, but don't let evil people and those with bad intentions get in!"
After Qin Yueting took the order and left, Chen Lin sat in the hall thinking.
The catastrophe is coming with great force. The monsters that came out of the nests have already made the cultivators panic before they even launched an attack on the fairy city. Now such a powerful monster has appeared again, and it has destroyed so many fairy cities just by attacking from a distance. If it can descend on this world in the future, who can resist it
A strong man in the late Nascent Soul stage might be able to fight with the power of spiritual treasures, but there are only a few cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage in this world, and the number of powerful monsters that have been revealed so far is already over double digits, which is not equal at all.
Now we can only rely on the will of the interface to suppress foreign invaders.
According to the rules of the interface, anyone whose strength exceeds the Nascent Soul stage will be repelled and attacked by the will of the interface, otherwise there will be no hope at all.
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin took out the Thunder Magic Jade Slip given to him by the Silver Fairy.
It's useless to think about anything at this time. It's better to rely on yourself than on others. You should make use of all your time to improve your strength.
Thunder Technique.
When his spiritual consciousness probed into the jade slip, the name of Lei Fa appeared in his mind.
After taking a quick look, Chen Lin's eyes lit up.
This is a thunder spell used to activate a flying sword. After use, the flying sword can be transformed into several thunder swords to attack the enemy. It seems that it was chosen by the Silver Fairy specifically for him, just right for controlling his natal magic weapon, the Thunder Sword.
Thunder spells are very rare, especially high-level ones. He has been searching for them for a long time but hasn't found any. The Silver Fairy must have paid a considerable price to obtain them, so she really cares about him.
A warm feeling rose in his heart, and Chen Lin began to concentrate on studying the content of the spell.
Time goes by day by day.
Half a month later.
The Elder Council of the Hundred Races Alliance failed to reach a consensus on the centralized management of the monks, and finally had to choose a compromise method, dividing the many immortal cities into several small alliances, and dividing the small alliances into individual responsible areas to clean up those nests and insect monsters.
Because of the amazing record of the Silver Fairy who defeated super monsters with just one shot, the Silver Fairy City was designated as the main city and together with the three surrounding fairy cities formed the Silver Alliance.
"Elder Chen, Senior Silver Fairy hasn't come out of seclusion yet. When will she come out?"
In the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, a thin middle-aged man paced back and forth in front of Chen Lin, appearing very anxious.
In addition to the other party, there was also a young woman in colorful clothes. Although she stood there without saying anything, she also looked anxious.
Chen Lin smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either. My master had already gone into seclusion before we formed an alliance. Now the place where he was in seclusion has been sealed off. Even I cannot enter. So you two should not be anxious and just wait patiently."
These two people are cultivators from a city called Houtu Xiancheng in the Silver Alliance.
The middle-aged man was called Sun Yushi, and he had reached the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. The woman was only at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but he saw that the woman's bone age was only about eighteen or nineteen years old. To be able to reach such a level at this age, it was clear how amazing her talent was.
Houtu Immortal City is just a medium-sized immortal city. The city lord of the immortal city is a Jindan Great Perfection cultivator named Sun Yuguang. Almost all the main figures in the entire immortal city have the surname Sun. It is a family-style immortal city.
After the catastrophe began, most of these medium-sized immortal cities had disbanded on their own and merged into large immortal cities, but for some reason the Sun family had always held on.
However, there was a big trouble at this time. A monster that had reached the Nascent Soul level had set its sights on their city. Now they could only rely on the city defense formation. Once the city defense formation was broken, the city would be in disaster.
"Elder Chen, you can wait, but we in Houtu City can't!"
Sun Yushi said in a sad voice, "Our city defense formation can only hold out for three days at most. By then, tens of thousands of people in the city will all become food for the monsters. Elder Chen, please consider that we are allies and ask Senior Silver Fairy to come out and rescue us!"
After saying that, he was about to kneel down in front of Chen Lin. Chen Lin hurriedly reached out to support him and prevented him from kneeling down.
He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "To be honest with you, Fellow Daoist Sun, no one in our city can enter the place where my master is in seclusion, and there is no other way to contact her. We can only wait for her to come out on her own. If all else fails, you should go to the other two allied immortal cities for help. We really can't afford to delay in this situation."
Chen Lin was not just trying to get by, but he really couldn't contact the Silver Fairy.
He even suspected that the Silver Fairy was not in seclusion at all, but had already left the Fairy City, most likely to look for materials to refine spiritual treasures.
"What should I do?"
Sun Yushi was so anxious that he was running around in circles. He said, "Hongshan Immortal City and Baihe Immortal City are in trouble. Their city lords dare not leave the city at all. We have sent people to ask for help a long time ago, but it was unsuccessful. We also asked the Elders' Council of the Hundred Races Alliance for help, but the Elders' Council told us to ask Senior Baiyin Fairy to solve the problem."
Chen Lin sighed secretly, the Elders' Council is now just a decoration and cannot command any large force at all.
The other party has not yet seen the situation clearly and thinks that the Elders Council will send support if they are in trouble. They are reluctant to merge with other immortal cities. How naive they are.
He gave him a helpless look and said, "I understand Brother Sun's feelings, but I really can't help you. If it really doesn't work, you can first transfer some important people to other immortal cities through the teleportation array to take shelter. You can also come to our place. Although our immortal city no longer accepts foreign cultivators, we are all allies after all, so we can give you some places."
This was the best help he could offer, there was really no other way.
Sun Yushi shook his head upon hearing this and said bitterly, "Elder Chen should also know that our fairy city has only one teleportation array leading to Baihe Fairy City, and it can only teleport ten people at a time, and it cannot be used continuously, otherwise the array will not be able to withstand it. In just three days, how many people can be transferred?"
Then he continued, "If we really do that, once the news gets out, the monks in the city will immediately collapse. I'm afraid that before the monsters can break through the city defense formation, the city will be gone."
Chen Lin also knew that this method was not advisable, he was just trying to comfort the other party.
Hearing the other party say this, he could only helplessly say: "I have no other choice. Elder Sun, please tell me what you think. There is no point in getting anxious here."
He had already made his words very clear, but the other party kept pestering him. He must have some purpose, so he spoke directly and made it clear.
Sun Yushi hesitated for a moment, glanced at the colorful-clothed girl beside him, and then said to Chen Lin in a hoarse voice: "This is Sun Caiyi, the granddaughter of my brother Sun Yuguang, the city lord of this city. She is eighteen years old and has an innate earth spirit body. She is an excellent partner for dual cultivation. Our clan is willing to give this girl to Elder Chen as a concubine in exchange for a treasure that can kill monsters from the Silver Fairy City!"
There was no change on Chen Lin's face.
He had already guessed what was going on since the other party showed up with a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old.
It seems that the other party had done his homework before coming here. He knew that he was the one who had the final say in Silver Immortal City. He also knew that he had accepted a Qin Lingyu, and even thought that he was a lustful person.
There seems to be no other treasure that can allow a Jindan-perfected cultivator to kill Yuanying-level monsters except a spiritual treasure, or at least it has to be a pseudo-spiritual treasure. It is no secret that he owns the pseudo-spiritual treasure Qingjiao Ge. The other party probably has his eyes on this spiritual treasure.
A concubine wants to exchange for a fake spiritual treasure
Chen Lin secretly thought that the other party had a good plan.
No matter how special Sun Caiyi was, he would never agree to it, and he also didn't like the behavior of treating women as commodities in exchange for treasures.
So his face turned cold, and he said in a sarcastic tone: "Such a big immortal city, tens of thousands of cultivators, dozens of Jindan masters, but you have to rely on sending a little girl to be played with in exchange for a chance to survive. Your Sun family really makes me look at you in a new light. Don't say that I don't have the treasure you mentioned. Even if I do, I won't give it to you. Please do as you please!"
Sun Yushi's face instantly turned red to the roots of his neck, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
But he still argued: "Elder Chen is teaching you a lesson, but that's a whole city of people!"
"Tens of thousands of lives are at stake. How can we just watch them being eaten by monsters one by one? Do you think my brother doesn't love his granddaughter? On the contrary, there is no one in our family who doesn't love Caiyi. She is the pride of our Sun family and the pearl of Houtu City. We have no other choice. We really can't come up with a treasure that can impress Elder Chen!"
After saying this, he burst into tears.
Chen Lin shook his head upon hearing this, and slowly said, "We cultivators go against the will of heaven and pursue immortality. It is understandable that we take extraordinary measures to survive, but we cannot cross the bottom line. Our families should be the ones we protect with all our might. If we sacrifice them in exchange for a chance to survive, what is the point of sticking to our principles? What's the point of such cultivation even if we gain immortality?"
He stood up and said in a deep voice: "We can cherish our lives and be afraid of death, but when the time comes, we should not be afraid of fighting, so that our training will not be in vain!"
“Well said!”
As soon as Chen Lin finished speaking, a clear voice rang out from inside, and then the figure of the Silver Fairy appeared.
