Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao were stunned when they heard the guard's voice.
The two of them looked at each other with a puzzled expression.
Tianzhu Mountain had been peaceful recently. What could have happened to make the guard so panicked?
Ji Tianxing said in a dignified tone, "Come in and talk!"
Then, a guard in armor quickly stepped into the room and knelt down on one knee to salute.
He cupped his hands and reported, "Reporting to Young Master, there is news from the 72 cities in the north that they were attacked by a large number of demons last night and suffered heavy casualties.
In just one night, 12 cities were breached and nearly a million warriors and civilians were slaughtered. "
Ji Tianxing frowned when he heard the news. "A large number of demons attacked the 72 cities? 12 cities were captured in one night? "
Yun Yao also felt incredulous and asked doubtfully, "This shouldn't be! The demons were defeated a year ago and then suffered heavy losses. Their vitality has been greatly damaged.
Isn't the demons recuperating now? Why did they suddenly send troops to attack the 72 cities? "
The messenger guard didn't know much, so he could only shake his head and say, "Young Master, Madam, I just received the news from our scouts and came to report.
As for the specific information and situation, I don't know. "
Ji Tianxing waved his hand and said, "You can leave."
The guard bowed and took his leave. He turned around and pushed the carriage away.
Ji Tianxing frowned and thought for a moment. He said in a low voice, "There must be something strange. Let's go and ask Huanglong."
Then, he walked out of the room with Yun Yao and rushed to Huanglong Daoist's study.
Halfway through, the two of them bumped into Taoist Huang Long who was in a hurry in one of the corridors.
When Huanglong Daoist saw Ji Tianxing, he quickened his pace and greeted him. He cupped his hands and said, "Master, something happened in the 72 cities. I just received the news and was about to report it to you."
Ji Tianxing stopped and nodded. "En, I was just about to look for you. Let's talk somewhere else."
Huanglong Daoist made a 'please' gesture and said, "Master, please come to the Conference Hall. I have already gathered several elders to discuss countermeasures."
Ji Tianxing looked at him and said with a smile, "You're quite thoughtful. You also understand the pros and cons."
Huanglong Daoist bowed and said nothing.
A hundred breaths later, the three of them entered the main hall.
Six purple-robed elders had been waiting in the main hall for a long time, and they were whispering to each other as they discussed.
Seeing that Ji Tianxing and Huanglong Daoist had arrived, everyone saluted and greeted them.
Ji Tianxing led Yun Yao to the main seat and sat down. Huanglong Daoist sat on the left side of the main seat.
The hall quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on Huanglong Daoist.
Huanglong Daoist said with a solemn face, "Just now, I received news from the scouts that a large number of demons appeared last night and attacked the 72 cities in the north.
In just one night, 12 cities were captured, and nearly a million people were slaughtered.
As you can imagine, there must be a large number of demons, and they were divided into several groups.
I believe everyone knows that the 72 cities are located between Tianzhu Mountain and Beiming Mountain. It can be considered a buffer zone.
Our Pillar of Heavens Mountains and the 72 cities are closely related.
Now the demons have begun to invade the 72 cities. Once they succeed, their next target should be Tianzhu Mountain! "
Hearing this, the six elders nodded their heads in agreement.
"That's right! Without the lips, the teeth will feel cold. We all understand that! "
"We can't sit idly by, and we can't let the demons wreak havoc!"
"Yes! Even if we don't fight the demons, we must find a way to attack them. We can't let them successfully occupy the 72 cities. "
"I think it's very strange. Aren't the demons seriously injured and recuperating?"
Everyone reached a consensus without any discussion to help the 72 cities.
However, one of the elders still raised a question.
Ji Tianxing also asked Huanglong Daoist, "Huang Long, do you know how many demons there are? Who is the leader? "
Huang Long answered without hesitation, "According to the information from the scouts, the number of demons is estimated to be more than 300,000.
As for the leader, they didn't see the two notorious Great Demon Sages. Instead, they found a huge black flying boat.
In addition, there were several strange-looking powerhouses who appeared from the flying boat. "
Hearing this, Ji Tianxing's eyes flashed, and he suddenly understood.
"As I expected, it's them!"
Yun Yao also nodded and said, "I see! It's actually An Yu and the other races who launched the attack. No wonder it's unexpected! "
Huanglong Daoist and the other elders were puzzled and asked, "Master, what's going on?"
Ji Tianxing explained, "There's a group of foreign invaders, about 80 of them, who drove a black warship and broke into the North Underworld Mountain.
They only used two months to occupy the five southern regions of the North Underworld Mountain, ruling hundreds of tribes.
The Ancestor Fiendgod didn't come out of seclusion, and the two Great Demon Sages couldn't do anything to them, so they could only compromise and retreat.
Both sides even cooperated to deal with us!
But their cooperation failed, and the Ancestor Fiendgod also broke through to the God Realm. Sooner or later, he will drive away the other races and take back the five southern regions.
So, the other races can only take action in advance, vainly trying to occupy the 72 cities and make it their nest in the future. "
After listening to Ji Tianxing's explanation, Huanglong Daoist and the other elders were enlightened.
"I see! The mastermind is actually the other races! "
"Previously, I thought that the Demon Race's vitality was greatly damaged, so they wouldn't attack again. I didn't expect the other races to be the ones stirring up trouble!"
"Then it makes sense. In order to plan for the future, the other races can only pick on the weak ones and invade the 72 cities."
After everyone discussed for a while, Ji Tianxing said in a serious tone, "Everyone is clear about the situation. Now, I'll announce a decision.
The 72 cities are being invaded by the other races, and we, the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, can't sit by and do nothing. We have to help.
Everyone must understand that this is not only to help the 72 cities, but also to prepare for a rainy day and protect the Pillar of Heavens Mountains.
However, to be safe, everyone has to stay in the Pillar of Heavens Mountains to prevent any accidents.
I will personally go to the 72 cities and try to deal with the other races and the Demon Race's army. "
Huanglong Daoist and the other elders were worried and tried to persuade him.
"Master, you can't go alone. It's too dangerous!"
"Grandmaster, it's enough to have the great immortal stay in the Pillar of Heavens Mountains. We're willing to go with you!"
"The other races are ferocious and powerful. Grandmaster, you can't go alone. You have to bring a few more helpers!"
At this time, Yun Yao stood up and said firmly, "Everyone, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I'll go with Tianxing and fight against the other races together.
