Chen Guan asked what was going on, why Jin Taohua would co here. She should be in Cangwu Grotto Heaven. How could she co to such a place? Wasn't she afraid that after leaving Cangwu Grotto Heaven, before entering Pengxuan Grotto Heaven, she'd be targeted by the Gong Family?
No matter how invincible Jin Taohua is in the Grotto Heaven, in the Divine Land, any random Great Cave Heaven cultivator would be a huge threat to her.
As for how Jin Taohua ca to Pengxuan Grotto Heaven and when, no one yet knows.
There's a rumor about her purpose here, saying Jin Taohua ca to Pengxuan Grotto Heaven seeking an opportunity to ascend to the Great Cave Heaven, intending to reach the Seventh Sense.
Chen Guan felt this rumor wasn't reliable. If Jin Taohua went to a Great Cave Heaven, wouldn't that an she'd be hunted by the Gong Family to death?
Unlike the nurous options available in Grotto Heavens, there are only ten Great Cave Heavens, with just a couple of human cities in each. Finding soone would be too easy.
Leaving the human cities to venture outside would be like a small child jumping into a wolves' den; it's not a question of whether you want to be eaten, but of who gets to enjoy this great chunk of at that fell from the sky.
Regardless, now Jin Taohua is in the Celestial Essence Sea and even captured a living Secret Spirit Granny, preparing to auction her off in i City.
The Celestial Essence Sea is rampant with Secret Spirits. The unique environnt there ans neither humans nor demons hold a decisive advantage, so they have established a few cities as strongholds.
The truly terrifying part of the Celestial Essence Sea is the Secret Spirit Tides. Thousands of Secret Spirits often appear in groups, and hunting Secret Spirits solo in the Celestial Essence Sea easily leads to being besieged and killed by the hordes.
i City doesn't belong to the humans or the demons. It was originally built by demons but was later overrun by the Secret Spirit Tide, leaving hardly any survivors.
Later, a Secret Spirit took over i City, and this particular spirit doesn't exclude humans or demons, making it a place where humans, demons, and Secret Spirits coexist.
The mysterious Secret Spirit established a rule: no creatures may engage in combat within i City, or they will be killed imdiately.
Even in a place like the Celestial Essence Sea, i City is a very unique place.
It's not surprising that Jin Taohua would go to i City, as her identity can only allow her to trade with others normally in such a place.
Chen Guan decided to take a trip to i City. He must retrieve the Secret Spirit Granny, as that would save him from searching the entire Celestial Essence Sea for a Primordial Energy Granny if the Reverse Elent Skill ends up there.
Chen Guan instructed Fujimura Reiko to make a trip to bring Ma Xiaolong over and have him join the Purple Sun Corps.
After giving Fujimura Reiko so instructions and preparing to head to i City, a report ca in that two people claiming to be from Mute City requested an audience.
Upon hearing they were from Mute City, Chen Guan pondered for a mont and then instructed to bring them to the eting hall first.
"Mute City has been fighting demons for so many years, with its territory shrinking more and more. In recent years, it's been directly besieged, with demon forces stationed there exceeding 150,000. I'm afraid we're no match for them," Fujimura Reiko said.
Chen Guan was well aware that the people of Mute City ca here for help.
"Let's first hear what they have to say." Chen Guan, along with Fujimura Reiko, went to the eting hall to see Chen Si and ng Man.
Upon seeing Chen Guan with his robust physique, ng Man and Chen Si's eyes lit up; Chen Guan embodied everything they fantasized about in a strong figure.
Just standing there, he seed to exude a powerful presence.
"Grand Marshal Zi! I am Chen Si, and this is ng Man from Mute City." Both saluted together.
"Both of you, please have a seat," Chen Guan said, sitting down, with Fujimura Reiko beside him.
"Grand Marshal, the demons are inhumane, massacring the innocent citizens of Mute City. Of the original million residents, less than 200,000 remain alive. Now, surrounded by them, it's hard to even get supplies in. If no reinforcents arrive, people could starve to death inside before the demons even attack..." Chen Si described the dire situation of Mute City.
Chen Guan listened with sympathy, but considering the current strength of the Purple Sun Corps and himself, it would be tough to break the siege on Mute City.
With Chen Guan planning to establish a foothold here, he had studied the local situation thoroughly, knowing that apart from the Nine Demon's troops in Mute City, there are also strong demon forces from Demon King City.
Facing 200,000 Demon Corps soldiers is beyond what Chen Guan can handle.
Moreover, the Nine Demons receive support from Demon King City, which is in a peculiar position, located far out on the sea, beyond this region.
Many believe that beyond the sea lies a different Grotto Heaven, with Demon King City belonging there.
The sea is extrely perilous, making it tough for an average person to cross. Yet sohow, warriors from Demon King City crossed it to continually support the Nine Demon City, leading to its rapid growth here.
Mute City, highly valued by Nine Demon City, is a place they must conquer. After years of battles, Nine Demon City has paid a huge price itself and won't relinquish it easily.
Rescuing Mute City ans preparing to fight the Nine Demon City to the end, potentially to the last soldier, with no option for retreat.
This battle would be tough, and no one dares to assist Mute City, as at most, they only provide so supplies.
Chen Guan's Secret Collection has been restored, but with just the power of I, God, he can't annihilate 200,000 Demon Corps soldiers and all the Nine Demon City's strongholds.
Previously, he destroyed Nine Demon City with one strike because others were unaware of his strength, having their forces concentrated together in front of him.
Now that his Giant Spirit Power and I, God's ability are known, the Demon Corps, knowing he is coming, wouldn't conveniently gather for him to slay again.
However, with the Mountain-Opening Axe and Mountain and River Map, Chen Guan doesn't solely need to rely on I, God.
Chen Si and ng Man eagerly awaited Chen Guan's verdict, staring at him with anticipation.
But Chen Guan remained silent, and their hopeful gazes gradually dimd.
"After all, Grand Marshal Zi is just one person. How can he confront 200,000 Demon soldiers..." ng Man felt her idealized view of Grand Marshal Zi slowly shattering.
"How much longer can Mute City hold out?" Chen Guan suddenly asked.
"It should hold out for a while longer. The demons haven't launched an all-out assault, instead continuously nibbling away from all sides, so the final battle won't happen imdiately.
Chen Si paused and added, "But given Mute City's current state, people die every day. Delaying even a day results in many deaths."
Chen Guans said seriously to Chen Si: "I can send troops to support Mute City."
The pair were happy to hear this, but Chen Guan followed with: "But not yet, I need ti."
