Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1388 - 1385: Star Pavilion Crisis!

Under Li Chen’s meticulous management, the Star Pavilion, Jian Dynasty, and Flame Dragon Dynasty have now formed a connected line.

And in both the inner and outer regions, two impregnable Great Walls have been constructed.

The outer Great Wall has a total length of 280,000 kilometers, with a castle every 1,000 kilometers, responsible for command and dispatch.

The inner Great Wall has a total length of 120,000 kilometers, with a castle every 500 kilometers, responsible for guarding and command.

Besides this, the core area where the main mountain range of Heavenly Thunder Peak is located is the site of the Star Pavilion Headquarters and the last line of defense.

If this line of defense were breached, the entire Star Pavilion would cease to exist.

However, now the armies of the Outer Realm Demon have already smashed through the inner and outer defensive walls with overwhelming force, directly threatening the Heavenly Thunder Mountain Star Pavilion Headquarters.

Although the Star Pavilion has soared to the second position among the nine great sacred sects, becoming second only to the dominator Greedy Wolf Hall.

Its lack of foundation has been completely exposed in this crisis.

"The attack of the Outer Realm Demon is too fierce, the Outer Mountain has fallen. Where is the Pavilion Master, is he still in seclusion?"

Several elders of the Star Pavilion hurriedly came over, inquiring of Xia Ning’er and Gu Qingcheng.

Although the two of them did not hold any positions within the Star Pavilion, they had a very close relationship with Li Chen.

Therefore, in Li Chen’s absence, the affairs of the sect, both big and small, were decided by them.

Of course, they were not mere pretty faces; although their cultivation was not high, one was good at strategy and the other at decision-making, managing the affairs of the sect meticulously.

However, faced with the current situation, they were also at a loss.

Because they had also lost contact with Li Chen.

To stabilize the morale, they could only use the excuse of Li Chen’s seclusion.

But the current situation is becoming increasingly dangerous, and saying it’s a matter of life and death wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Gu Qingcheng calmed her mind slightly and commanded resolutely, "Elder Du, do not panic. I have already made contact with the Pavilion Master; he will come out soon. Have everyone from the Outer Mountain retreat and shrink the defense line, holding the positions!"

The person called Elder Du was named Du Ziteng, with a late-stage Divinity Transformation cultivation.

He was a dominant figure in the loose cultivator world.

At the beginning of the Star Pavilion’s establishment, he once challenged Li Chen alone.

After being defeated, he willingly surrendered and joined, considered a veteran member of the Star Pavilion!

Upon hearing Gu Qingcheng’s words, Du Ziteng calmed slightly and went to carry out the orders.

After watching Du Ziteng leave, Xia Ning’er asked urgently with dimples whirling, "Did you really contact the Young Master?"

Gu Qingcheng, with clear eyes, revealed a trace of gloom.

She gently shook her head and said, "No."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ning’er’s expression changed slightly.

"Now the Outer Realm Demon’s attack is extremely fierce. If the Young Master does not return soon, Elder Du and the others may not be able to hold on for long. What should we do then?"

Gu Qingcheng was speechless!

Facing this, she also did not know what to do?

After a long silence, she finally said with a bit of helplessness, "Let’s see how it goes, taking one step at a time!"

Hearing Gu Qingcheng’s words full of helplessness, Xia Ning’er also fell into silence.

Outside the Mountain Sect, millions of Outer Realm Demons were attacking furiously.

The sizes of these Outer Realm Demons varied greatly, the larger ones were over a hundred meters long, while the smaller ones were only a few feet. Some could spew water, some could spray fire, and others had claws as sharp as swords, capable of splitting mountains with one swipe.

Furthermore, their exteriors were as tough as solid rock, incredibly durable, making them difficult to penetrate with ordinary attacks.

For a time, blood was flowing like rivers, and the ground was littered with corpses.

The outer defense lines of the Star Pavilion fell one after another, and everyone began retreating towards the Inner Mountain, contracting the battle lines.

Fortunately, Li Chen had previously set up a defensive array on the main peak of Heavenly Thunder Peak and throughout the surrounding three-thousand-mile area.

Thanks to this array, they could barely hold on.

However, given the current situation, if Li Chen did not emerge from seclusion, it was only a matter of time before the defensive array was breached.

Rumors were spreading, and the people were filled with panic.

Fortunately, Gu Qingcheng and Xia Ning’er stepped forward in time, executing dozens of cultivators spreading panic, thus stabilizing the morale and preventing chaos.

Yet as more and more Outer Realm Demons gathered, everywhere in sight was teeming densely with these creatures. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The pressure on Gu Qingcheng and Xia Ning’er was unimaginable.

Luckily, these Outer Realm Demons did not understand military strategies like encircling but leaving one side open.

They simply surrounded the entire Heavenly Thunder Mountain, trapping all the cultivators in a death zone.

Moreover, these Outer Realm Demons did not understand human speech and were extremely cruel and violent, killing any humans they saw.

Therefore, they extinguished the thought of betrayal among the cultivators within the city, making them more determined to fight to the end.

Otherwise, the Star Pavilion might have already collapsed, ceasing to exist.

In the main hall, Du Ziteng and other elders directly expressed their doubts.

"Miss Qingcheng, Miss Ning’er, is the Pavilion Master not in the sect?"

Hearing this, Gu Qingcheng and Xia Ning’er exchanged glances, knowing that this matter could no longer be concealed.

After a brief moment of consideration, Gu Qingcheng said, "That’s right, the Young Master has gone to the Great Wilderness Thunder Swamp and has not yet returned!"

Upon hearing "Great Wilderness Thunder Swamp," everyone’s faces changed drastically.

Not long ago, the Wolf God opened the Forbidden Barrier that sealed the Outer Realm Demons in the Great Wilderness Thunder Swamp.

And it was to the Great Wilderness Thunder Swamp that Li Chen had gone!

At that moment, everyone’s hearts were filled with a foreboding sense of dread.

But no one spoke of it aloud.

In conclusion, everyone’s faces were not looking good.

After a long time, Du Ziteng finally spoke, "Miss Qingcheng, Miss Ning’er, you’ve all seen the current situation. If the Pavilion Master doesn’t come back, the fall of our Star Pavilion Headquarters is only a matter of time."

"While now, the demon encirclement is not fully complete, let me escort you to break out of it!"

Upon hearing Du Ziteng’s words, the other elders also expressed their agreement.

In their view, this was the best course of action at present!

However, this proposal was rejected by Gu Qingcheng and Xia Ning’er.

Gu Qingcheng and Xia Ning’er both knew very well how they were perceived outside.

They were labeled as Li Chen’s women!

The current Star Pavilion was sustained only by a single breath of determination. If they left at this time and word got out, the entire sect would immediately collapse and cease to exist.

This was something they would never want to see!

Gu Qingcheng, with dimples swirling, said resolutely, "Elder Du, we appreciate your kindness, but we sisters cannot leave. If we leave, the army’s spirit will instantly collapse, and the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Beside her, Xia Ning’er was nodding vigorously.

"I believe the Young Master will never abandon us; as long as we grit our teeth a little longer, he will surely rush back!"

After saying this, Gu Qingcheng and Xia Ning’er instinctively exchanged glances.

At this moment, they each read the same emotions in each other’s eyes.

They exchanged smiles, both feeling moved in their hearts.

Fate, indeed, is a mysterious thing!

In just a few years, it could transform two mortal enemies into inseparable sisters!
