Chapter 587: 185 Danger of Eight-Turn Golden Core, Ten Monarchs Immortal City_2
Half a year later.
A piece of news suddenly swept through the entire Immortal City of Ten Monarchs, leaving countless cultivators shocked.
In the black market, Lin Qingxia and Yang Yumin were tending to custors purchasing elixirs at their store. anwhile, in the backyard, Su Yu sat by the stone table, listening to Lin Bing delivering the news from outside, with a degree of surprise.
“The Demon Clan is stirring, and ferocious beasts from all directions are surging towards the Immortal City of Ten Monarchs? They seem to have targeted our city?” Su Yu looked horrified.
The Immortal City of Ten Monarchs, standing tall in the cultivation world of Daqian for many years, was extrely formidable.
It had been many years since it last suffered an attack from the Demon Clan.
Even if the Demon Clan had acted, it mainly targeted small cultivation towns, marketplaces, and family territories on the outskirts of the Immortal City of Ten Monarchs, causing minor disturbances.
Lin Bing nodded, “Yes, that is what people are saying outside, which is why more custors have co to purchase elixirs today. Previously, it took days to see a custor, but now there have already been five. Moreover, they are all large-scale purchases of elixirs, effectively equating to a month’s worth of sales in the past.”
Su Yu’s expression grew serious as he pondered.
Under normal circumstances, the Demon Clan wouldn’t risk attacking Immortal City of Ten Monarchs as it was simply too powerful.
But now the Demon Clan seed to be readying, gathering beasts from all directions to target Immortal City of Ten Monarchs?
What could be the reason?
Instinctively, an idea popped into Su Yu’s mind: should he leave the City of Ten Monarchs and return to the celestial manor for a while? Only to return after the chaos had settled?
However, the next mont, Su Yu thought of sothing, his pupils contracted abruptly.
“Could the Sea Clan be behind these movents of the Demon Clan?” The thought erged in Su Yu’s mind.
Previously, a top-tier fourth-rank mber of the Sea Clan had infiltrated the Cloud Pavilion to search around. Su Yu had guessed that the Sea Clan could be looking for the ancient bloodline of Fuhai Xuanturtle that he held!
But afterward, he never encountered the Sea Clan again and there was no concrete evidence to support his speculation.
So many years had passed that Su Yu almost forgot about this event.
When he heard about the movent of the Demon Clan and their intent to target the Immortal City of Ten Monarchs, he suddenly rembered the existence of the Sea Clan.
Su Yu’s expression changed slightly.
If indeed the Sea Clan was behind this in order to get the Xuanturtle, he could not take the Xuanturtle back to the celestial manor.
It could only be kept in the City of Ten Monarchs.
“What’s the current situation outside? How many of the Demon Clan are acting out of the ordinary? How many beasts have gathered?” Su Yu turned towards Lin Bing and started asking in detail.
Lin Bing hesitated for a mont before answering, “The situation seems manageable for now as the news only just ca back. The movent of the Demon Clan has only just begun and they are still far from the City of Ten Monarchs.”
“In my opinion, it would take them several, if not tens of years, to siege the city.”
“However, the territories surrounding the City of Ten Monarchs have already clashed with the onslaught of the beasts.”
“Now, the Upper City is recruiting cultivators on a large scale, offering generous conditions to attract cultivators from all directions to fight against the Demon Clan and the beast onslaught.”
Understand the situation gradually, Su Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
So, it had only just begun.
The Demon Clan is still miles away from actually sieging the Immortal City of Ten Monarchs.
Relieved, Su Yu put his thought of leaving the city aside for now. On the contrary, a glint flashed in his eyes.
The Demon Clan intends to besiege the city!
“Have the prices of elixirs, talismans, formations, magic artifacts, and materials in the city started to rise?” He quickly looked towards Lin Bing.
A hint of delight appeared on Lin Bing’s pretty face as she said to Su Yu, “Master, you’re right. The price of the elixirs in Dan Pavilion has increased by 10% today, yet they’re still well sought-after.”
Su Yu couldn’t help but laugh and clap his hands, “It’s about ti I made so Spirit Stones!”
Previously, he had splurged hundreds of thousands of mid-grade Spirit Stones, virtually clearing out the city’s inventory of elixirs, talismans, and third and fourth-rank lower quality materials.
He had been stockpiling most of it still.
With the looming danger and crisis in the city due to the Demon Clan, the price of various resources in the city naturally rose, as did the sales volu.
Isn’t this an opportunity for him to make a big profit?
“I’m going to continue with my alchemy, Bing, your main focus should be on monitoring the changes in the outside situation. If there are any changes or news, inform promptly!” Su Yu instructed.
Lin Bing responded imdiately: “Yes, master.”
Su Yu nodded and returned to the alchemy room. Just as he was about to start alchemy, he felt a slight sensation in his heart. He summoned a communication token from the Green Moon Ring. As he focused his mind into it, Luo Qianyu’s voice imdiately sounded.
“Master Su is not at the Celestial Sect?” Luo Qianyu’s teasing voice ca through.
Su Yu chuckled, “Indeed, I’m not. Do you need sothing, nephew Luo?”
“Humph. So humble for accepting complints, such thick skin.” Luo Qianyu chided.
Then, Luo Qianyu got down to business: “Have you heard about the events in the Ten Lords’ Immortal City? There’s been quite a lot of Demon Clan activity, with beast tides forming from all over, and signs of these beast tides gathering and besieging the Ten Lords’ Immortal City!”
Su Yu raised an eyebrow. The news was spreading fast. Even Luo Qianyu, who was cultivating in the Immortal Mansion in the Earthly Immortal Manor, knew about it.
Su Yu said, “I just heard.”
Luo Qianyu said, “The Ten Lords’ Immortal City has put forth a hefty reward to recruit cultivators from all walks of life to defend the city against the Demon Clan’s beasts. Qingquan, Shuhai, Kong Yun, Jiang ng, and I have discussed this and plan to go to Ten Lords’ Immortal City to gain so experience.”
“Do you want to join us?”
Su Yu frowned slightly. Did Luo Qianyu and the others want to get involved in this?
If his guess was correct, then the situation at the Ten Lords’ Immortal City this ti was certainly not simple. Who knew what extraordinary asures the Xuan Turtle of the Sea Clan would take for the sake of the ancient bloodline, the Overturning Sea Xuan Turtle.
After so thought, Su Yu cryptically said, “As far as I know, the situation with the Demon Clan’s activity in Ten Lords’ Immortal City this ti is anything but simple!”
“You would do well to consider whether you really want to take the risk.”
Hearing this, Luo Qianyu on the other side was slightly taken aback. It sounded like he knew a lot about the situation in the Ten Lords’ Immortal City this ti?
Luo Qianyu quickly asked: “What do you an? Do you know the cause of the Demon Clan’s unrest?”
Su Yu said, “Not exactly. In any case, be careful. If you really want to go there, be prepared.”
“As for , I won’t have ti to get involved in this any ti soon.”
“However, once you arrive at the Ten Lords’ Immortal City, you can go to the base. I’ll leave you sothing there as a little token from .”
After a brief chat, Su Yu retracted his communication token, but his eyebrows were still furrowed.
That Luo Qianyu and the others wanted to get involved in this was to be expected.
After all, unlike him, Luo Qianyu and the others still needed to gain experience in order to break through. Doing so would make it easier for their mindset and cultivation level to keep pace.
The Ten Lords’ Immortal City was paying a considerable price to recruit cultivators from all over. For Luo Qianyu and the others, this could almost be considered a great opportunity.
Where there’s danger, there’s opportunity.
This was the true experience of cultivators in the cultivation world.
When the ti and opportunity was right, Su Yu had soone send a Qiankun Bag and left it at the mansion in the Earthly Immortal City above. It would be waiting there for Luo Qianyu and the others when they arrived.
Afterwards, he returned to the Yunxiao Dan Pavilion and entered the alchemy room to concentrate on refining his pills.
“They should be careful, they’ll be okay,” Su Yu had so degree of concerns about their safety.
After all, here, Luo Qianyu and the others were his closest friends.
Of course, he hoped everyone would be safe and sound.
Over the next period of ti.
News ca in from outside one after another. The beast tide gathered by the Demon Clan this ti was unusual, the scale was too huge. Several small towns, markets, and cultivation families around the Ten Lords’ Immortal City had been affected.
So people fell under the beast tide whilst so small towns, markets, and small cultivation families were forced to abandon their territories and flee towards the Ten Lords’ Immortal City.
Under such circumstances, the Ten Lords’ Immortal City decisively abandoned the outer regions, allowing the cultivators of the outer regions to retreat.
They started to build three main lines of defence near the Ten Lords’ Immortal City.
