The monk knew that this was regrettable and not the outcome that everyone wanted to see, but he did not expect that everyone’s reaction would be even more desperate than he imagined.

Some covered their faces and sobbed, some stamped their feet and growled, and some had dejected expressions and stood there silently, as if they had lost their souls.

It was obviously someone else who was in trouble, but their reactions were even more intense than if they were in danger themselves.

No wonder Senior Brother Cui likes Qiu Luocheng the most.

The seven emotions and six desires of mortals are so precious, which is something that monks often overlook in their practice.

The monk looked away sadly.

Among the crowd, only Song Jizhe was relatively calm. Although his eyes were red, he still asked calmly:

"Is it possible that the city lord is still alive?"

The monk didn't have the heart to tell them the truth, but he wasn't a good liar either. He opened and closed his mouth, but in the end he told the truth:

"Probably not. Chu Xiao's three villains are facing a realm breakthrough and are in desperate need of the spirit of a pure ghost body. I'm afraid they will take away the spirit today no matter what. We are here for this very reason."

In addition, Cui Yuankui’s body may also be in the hands of Qingxin and others.

When Song Jizhe heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened and he said anxiously:

"Then can you save our city lord?"

The monk shook his head, and a bit of frustration appeared on his young face.

"We are weak, and we are only able to survive because of luck. Senior Brother Cui may not even know that we are still alive..."

His companion noticed his depression, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and said in a breathy voice with murderous intent:

"Don't be discouraged. Now that Senior Brother Cui is gone, we are the last cultivators of Songshan Sect and the real backbone of the sect! Even if we die, we can't just watch Qingxin and the others do whatever they want!"

By the time this was said, all the barriers surrounding Qiuluo City had been shattered, and the monks were ready to enter Qiuluo City.

The monk who spoke first has now recovered his spirit, and the frustration in his eyes has been replaced by a fearless attitude.

Before he set off, he turned back and reminded Song Jizhe:

"Now that the barrier is destroyed, Qingxin and the others won't be able to find you. You should leave now."

After saying that, he turned around to leave, but unexpectedly his arm was grabbed by Song Jizhe.

"Who are Qingxin and the others? Wasn't it the monks from Sushan Sect who destroyed us?"

Song Jizhe knew that if they didn't ask some things now, they would never have the chance to know them in the future, so he asked without caring about anything else.

Facing Song Jizhe, the monk was still patient and explained softly, "Zhao Hunyuan and others from Sushan Sect are all Chu Xiao's lackeys, following orders and bearing the bad reputation. The ones who really want to destroy your Qiuluo City and take the life of your city lord are Chu Xiao's faction from Songshan Sect."

"So is there anything we can do to help?"

Someone suddenly spoke up from behind Song Jizhe: "We want to save the city lord, and we are not afraid of death! Can you take us with you?"

As soon as this voice came out, more people responded, and everyone grasped the monk's last straw.

The people of Qiuluo City are so united.

They are not afraid of death, but they cannot abandon the bell strings.

Not only the original residents of Qiuluo City, but also the refugees that Zhong Xian later took in raised no objection.

Although they had not been in Qiuluo City for long, Zhong Xian still carefully arranged everything for them and tried his best to save their lives.

They are grateful.

"Nonsense!" The monk's face changed and he quickly refused: "You are just mortals, you will only die if you go!"

Song Jizhe shook his head and said in a serious voice: "If the Lord City Lord cannot rescue us, it will be the same as if we were dead! We will live in endless self-blame and guilt, and we have endured it for long enough!"

Zhong Xian's parents are their benefactors.

Zhong Xian is also their benefactor.

Qiuluo City is the home they built with great effort.

Their homes were wantonly destroyed, their family members were poisoned and harmed, and every grave and every corpse in the cemetery belonged to people they had lived with day and night, and even grew up with!

In order to save Zhong Xian and let more people survive, they could only hide their murderous intentions towards the monks in their hearts, and they have been enduring it for a long time.

Now that Zhong Xian is about to get into trouble, how can they escape with a clear conscience?

"We will not die in vain. We still have hope."

Although Song Jizhe was very excited, his mind was still clear. He spoke to the monks seriously and quickly:

"You don't want Qingxin and the others to succeed. We want to save the city lord. After all, your goal is the same as ours, right?

"In addition, we have friends from the demon tribe. They rebelled against the Immortal Sect before and were imprisoned in the dungeon of Qiuluo City. Only we know where they are. If we can release the demon tribe and work together, will we still have a chance of winning?"

Yu Xi, who was listening quietly at the side, was stunned for a moment.

When did the demons rebel?

Could it be that this happened when she fainted when Qingpei took her away?

That’s right. Thinking about it, since she woke up at that time, except Qingpei, she hasn’t seen any demons in Qiuluo City.

At that time, I thought the demons were hiding in the shelter. Now it seems that the demons had already started a rebellion at that time? And were they all captured by the immortal sect?

When the monk heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Are the demons in Qiuluo City still alive? Haven't Qingxin and the others killed them yet?"

Song Jizhe shook his head quickly: "Except for Qingpei who can move freely, all the monsters are locked up in the dungeon. The monks of Sushan Sect seem to be planning to use them to make something, but the materials are not yet sufficient."

Upon hearing that the demons might still be alive, the monks' faces showed obvious joy.

The demon tribe is quite powerful. If they can help and work together, they might be able to stop Qingxin and the others' plan to extract the essence.

The monk quickly contacted other companions and said, "Tell everyone not to act rashly. We may have new companions."

Then, the monk said to Song Jizhe: "Just draw the location of the dungeon for us..."

Song Jizhe said hurriedly: "There are many dungeons, and the enemy will not let us approach the dungeons easily, someone must lead them away. Also, you are cultivators, if you rashly approach the demon tribe, they will definitely not believe you."

The demon clan should be more hostile to the immortal cultivators than they are now.

Song Jizhe said several words in a row that the monk could not refute.

They really knew how much the demons hated monks nowadays.

Song Jizhe continued, "We are not strong, but we can send some people to act as bait, and another small group to stay close to the dungeon. You help deal with the monks near the dungeon and release the monsters first."
