That day was a day of despair for Sky Deer City.
Even the day when the Upper World's most powerful cultivators attacked the city was not as hopeless as this.
The entire ancient city was shrouded in a despairing atmosphere.
All the cultivators and living beings were uneasy and terrified as they watched the figures leave through the air, leaving Sky Deer City.
Even when some of the most powerful cultivators ordered them not to retreat, it was useless.
These cultivators and living beings came from different races and were not bound by the rules of the most powerful cultivators.
Instead, after the order was given, more and more cultivators and living beings began to flee. Everyone was fleeing from Heavenly Deer City.
It seemed that as long as they left, the Upper World would not attack.
The human heart was unpredictable.
After so many days, Celestial Deer City had lost almost half of its cultivators and living beings, and the numbers were still increasing.
It would not be long before Sky Deer City became a dead city.
Towards the end, only a few powerful cultivators from different races were still holding on.
This included the Four Great War God Clans. They were the backbone of the Eight Desolates Ten Regions and the entire Sky Deer City. At this point, they were still unwilling to retreat and wanted to fight to the death with the Upper World.
This scene made many cultivators and living beings admire them. They felt that they were indeed the Four Great War God Clans. Compared to them, the other races were much weaker.
This also strengthened the hearts of many people.
Their prestige in Sky Deer City, and even in the Eight Desolates Ten Regions, increased many times over.
Many powerful rogue cultivators came to join them.
"I am ashamed of your love and respect for my clan."
"But now, almost half of Sky Deer City's army is gone. If Sky Deer City falls, I'm afraid we will all die under the Upper World's cavalry."
"However, my clan is willing to defend Sky Deer City and the Eight Desolates Ten Regions to the death!"
At the center of Sky Deer City, on the tall altar, stood a few figures with terrifying auras. Every one of them had an ancient aura. They shone brightly and emitted a powerful pressure.
At this moment, one of the figures spoke. He had an aged appearance, but his gaze was like a brilliant sun. He was piercingly cold and righteous, and he possessed a terrifying aura that made it difficult for others to look directly at him.
Everyone from Celestial Deer City stood below the altar. They were like a flood as they listened to everything with solemn expressions. They felt deep veneration in their hearts.
Compared to the actions of the other clans who abandoned their cities and fled, the actions of the Four Great War God Clans made them feel both admiration and moved.
Even at this point, they had not given up on Sky Deer City. They had not given up on everyone. They were worthy of being called the Four War God Clans.
"So this is the plan of the clan? What's the difference between this and surrendering to the Upper Realm? "
"For this hypocritical glory and face."
However, among the crowd below, a figure with a firm expression was stunned. It was Lin Wu.
At that moment, Lin Wu had a complicated expression on his face. He clenched his fists tightly. Naturally, he was also in the group of people who had not retreated.
Hearing the words of the figure above, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
That terrifying figure was an Enlightened Cultivator of his clan. He was extremely old.
A few days ago, he had heard his clan discussing how to safely avoid this disaster.
They were not thinking about uniting everyone to fight against the Upper Realm. Instead, they were thinking about how to survive in this dangerous situation without damaging their clan's glory.
Therefore, the events that had happened in Sky Deer City these few days had been secretly guided by their clan.
The news of the various clans abandoning their cities and fleeing also spread through their hands.
This sent a chill down Lin Wu's spine. He suddenly understood why the orthodoxies of the Upper Realm were so disdainful of the Eight Desolates Ten Regions.
The various clans in the Eight Desolates Ten Regions had already decayed to this extent. They did not even need to be attacked by the Upper Realm. Just a few rumors could easily destroy them.
"What's the point of guarding the Eight Desolates Ten Regions like this?"
Lin Wu chuckled bitterly as he thought back to all the things he had done to survive and save Luluo. Suddenly, his heart became clear, and he steeled himself.
"Song Chan should be able to get to the core of the formation by now …"
"As long as I get the core of the formation, I will leave Sky Deer City and look for Gu Changge. He has promised me something. I'm sure he won't go back on his words at this time."
Lin Wu looked into the depths of Sky Deer City, his eyes shining with anticipation.
He no longer had any expectations for Sky Deer City or the Eight Desolates Ten Regions.
While Sky Deer City was in chaos, the people of the Upper Realm were watching the show. All the experts of the orthodoxies had noticed the army and experts leaving Sky Deer City during this period of time.
This piqued everyone's interest. Who would have thought that before Sky Deer City was conquered, the Eight Desolates Ten Regions had already started to flee?
"What a joke. This is the so-called Eight Desolates Ten Regions. The descendants of a bunch of exiled people are born with sin in their blood."
An ancient existence laughed coldly. His figure was like a heavenly tower, incomparably majestic and terrifying, standing at the end of the world.
"Looks like I don't need to do anything. Sky Deer City will fall on its own."
Gu Changge had not expected the Eight Desolates Ten Regions to suddenly do something like this.
He had guessed that the Eight Desolates Ten Regions would flee at the critical moment.
However, he did not expect the Eight Desolates Ten Regions to start to panic and flee before Sky Deer City had even been conquered.
However, if this was the case, it would be easier for him to conquer Sky Deer City.
"Sky Deer City will fall within half a month at the latest."
He narrowed his eyes, trying to guess how long it would take for Lin Wu to retrieve the core of Sky Deer City.
"How do you feel after seeing this?"
Gu Changge then looked at the Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy and raised his eyebrows.
She had been very quiet for the past few days. Especially after witnessing what had happened in Sky Deer City, she did not utter a single word.
"I'm protecting Sky Deer City, which was left to me by my master. It has nothing to do with the Eight Desolates Ten Regions."
The Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy's crystal clear eyes fell on his face as she shook her head.
She did not know what she was feeling at the moment.
Before this, she had never expected that the tribes that had always united to fight against the Upper World would abandon their cities and flee at this moment. They did not care about Sky Deer City at all.
This made her very disappointed, but she also sighed.
She did not blame those tribes. After all, the life and death of Sky Deer City had nothing to do with them.
After they fled, they still had a place to go. They could still migrate. However, Sky Deer City could not do that. If the city fell, the people would die. If the people fled, the city would be destroyed.
Other than her, there would not be a second person in this world who cared so much about Sky Deer City.
"How pitiful …"
Gu Changge smiled faintly and placed his hand on her flawless face. "Without me, how do you plan to protect Sky Deer City?"
Although the Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy was powerful, she was only a Dao Enlightened One. At most, she could fight against a few Upper World cultivators of the same level.
Once Sky Deer City was conquered, the tribes of the Eight Desolates Ten Regions would retreat. She would be in a dilemma. She could either defend Sky Deer City to the death and be destroyed, or she could abandon the city and flee.
However, with her personality, she would definitely defend Sky Deer City to the death.
The Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy lowered her eyes and seemed a little disappointed. "I am useless. I can't protect the Sky Deer City that Master left for me."
If she had not chosen to surrender to the Upper World, not only would she have lost her life, but Sky Deer City would also be turned into a pile of ruins.
Hence, she could not say whether she was lucky or unlucky.
She begged for fresh flowers.
Just like now, all the forces and orthodoxies in the Upper World knew that she was Gu Changge's woman. Hence, even after conquering Sky Deer City, they did not dare to burn it down wantonly.
"I think Master's spirit in heaven would never have thought that I had to rely on a man from the upper realm to protect Heavenly Deer City."
The Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy smiled faintly. It was hard to tell whether it was self-deprecating or a sigh.
"Then you should be glad that you met me." Gu Changge smiled faintly.
The Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy's eyes sparkled. Her face was fair and flawless. Her skin was smooth and radiant. She nodded softly and suddenly took the initiative to hug his arm.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
In a certain misty building in Sky Deer City, two figures sat facing each other in a formation enshrouded in mist.
They were Lin Wu and Song Chan. However, Lin Wu's expression was solemn. He stared at Song Chan and asked in a low voice, "Did you get that thing?"
Compared to Lin Wu's solemn expression, Song Chan was much calmer.
Hearing this, she nodded and said, "I got it. However, there are a total of eight array cores in Sky Deer City. I can only take out one of them. If I touch the other seven, it will definitely attract the attention of others."
..... 0 0
With her current identity as the Empyrean Deer Mystic Fairy, she was extremely cautious and did not dare to make too big of a commotion.
As she spoke, she took out a mysterious item that was sealed in a special bronze box from her sleeve. A surge of boundless will was transmitted from it. Traces of the will of the world flowed between the cracks. It was dazzling and extremely blurry, but it was very eye-catching.
"Only one piece?"
Lin Wu frowned, but he still heaved a sigh of relief and said, "One is fine. In that case, let's not delay. Let's go."
He felt that one or a few array cores would not be of much use to Gu Changge.
This was because as long as any of the array cores outside of Sky Deer City had a problem, it would cause the entire array to malfunction.
Song Chan looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "If I do as you say, will I really be able to see Master?"
She knew that Lin Wu's actions had a certain degree of selfishness.
But now, the various clans and factions in Sky Deer City had already decayed to such an extent.
Even if they risked their lives to protect everything, in the end, they would not gain the slightest bit of a good reputation. Instead, they would be blamed and ridiculed by the various clans and factions.
Therefore, it was better to follow Master's decision.
Lin Wu said confidently, "Don't worry. These days, I have already planned our escape route. When the time comes, the two of us will leave through a teleportation altar and directly reach the shore of the Empyrean Abyss.
When we reach there, I have a way to contact Gu Changge. "
He had not forgotten the imprint that Gu Changge had left in his mind.
Hearing him say so confidently, Song Chan nodded and relaxed. Now that they were in Sky Deer City, she and Lin Wu were of the younger generation and would not attract any attention.
Then, the two of them left through a secret passage in the pavilion, hiding their figures as they hurried to a certain altar.
On the city walls of Sky Deer City, the experts of the various clans and factions who had been left behind appeared. They stood there, their blood surging like an ocean. Their bodies were shrouded in chaotic aura, and they planned to take the initiative to challenge the Upper Domain to a battle.
Although they knew that this battle did not have the slightest chance of winning, they did not have the slightest chance of winning.
"No matter what, after today, we have a legitimate reason to retreat."
"This way, no one can blame us."
Several existences with extremely ancient auras were discussing with each other, carrying confidence and cold smiles. They had long planned everything out.
However, they were all communicating through their Divine Consciousnesses. Vast waves appeared in the sky, emitting a terrifying aura like that of Wang Yang. Ordinary.
