Chapter 422: Forming an Alliance
"Senior, don't worry about this. There seems to be no demons in the last tower." Lin Qing said.
Chen Li was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there would be no demons in that tall tower. Did they not intend to guard it?
Lin Qing also noticed Chen Li's puzzled look, so he explained, "Senior, you don't know that when a tall tower appears in that place, the life energy within a radius of ten miles will be absorbed, so no one dares to get close."
They had sent quite a few people there at the beginning, but a strange phenomenon occurred to everyone when they went there.
Not only did some people have hallucinations, some even knelt on the ground, their blood and energy being sucked away, turning them into mummies in a matter of seconds.
If Li You hadn't led the team, everyone would probably have died there, so now they can only try to capture other towers first.
"So that's how it is. If that's the case, then I have to clean up that place." Chen Li said.
After all, Chen Li believed that the tall tower was probably the most dangerous place, so he had to destroy it no matter what.
This sentence made Lin Qing look particularly surprised, and then he said to Chen Li, "Senior, you have to understand that it is very scary there. Do you really want to go there?"
Even Li You and the others couldn't handle it at the time, so Chen Li probably wouldn't be able to do it alone.
Chen Li grinned and said, "It's just a tall tower. Just because you can't handle it doesn't mean I can't handle it."
Lin Qing remained silent and did not continue speaking. She knew very well that since Chen Li had decided to go, there was no way for her, as a junior, to persuade him.
Not long after, they returned to Tianhong City. At this time, everyone was busy with their own things, only Chen Li found a quiet place to rest.
His current condition is still not very good. Although he has taken the recovery pill, it will still take some time for him to fully recover.
For the next period of time, everyone was doing their own things, and it was a long-unseen period of quiet.
In the Nanli Sect, everyone was sitting in the meeting room at this time, and there was also a woman sitting inside.
The other party's cultivation is in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. No one dares to neglect him. Even Lin Yumu is now a little afraid of him.
“I wonder what this fellow Daoist wants to discuss with us?” As the leader of Nanli Sect, Lin Yumu naturally had to speak first.
When the other party appeared, it attracted considerable attention. After all, he was a powerful man in the Spirit Transformation Stage, otherwise they would not have treated him like this.
Bai Wan placed the token in her hand on the table, "Senior Chen asked me to come here."
Looking at the token on the table, everyone understood that this strong person must have been asked by Chen Li to come.
"In that case, you must have something to tell us." Luo Chen looked at Bai Wan in front of him and spoke again.
As the saying goes, one does not visit a place for no reason. Now that a strong man in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm has appeared, it must be something important.
"Actually, I want to discuss with you about joining the alliance." Bai Wan stated the purpose of her coming here without much hesitation.
Join the alliance? Everyone seemed a little surprised. They didn't expect that Bai Wan came here for this purpose.
Of course they had heard about the alliance. Now that the demons were wreaking havoc on the Kyushu continent, all major forces had chosen to join the alliance. Their purpose was to band together for warmth and thus take back the lost territory on the Kyushu continent.
Now Bai Wan came here and asked them to join the alliance. To be honest, they were still a little overwhelmed.
Nowadays, there are many powerful people guarding the Nanli Sect, and the nearby demons dare not continue to attack. To be honest, joining them will only reduce the combat effectiveness for no reason.
Lin Yumu was of course aware of this, so he was still a little hesitant about this matter. After all, the other party was the one Chen Li chose to call, so it would not be good to just refuse.
"So, what is Chen Li's idea?" Lin Yumu looked at Bai Wan and asked again.
Bai Wan replied: "I don't know what the senior thinks, but he did help us a lot, but this is only his personal help."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yumu said to Bai Wan, "I'm afraid we need to discuss this matter. I will ask my disciples to prepare a guest room for you. We will give you a result within one day at the latest."
Bai Wan stood up slowly, without any airs, "Okay, I'll take my leave now."
After finishing speaking, Bai Wan turned around and left the conference room, leaving only a few elders of Nanli Sect there to discuss matters.
"If you ask me, we shouldn't agree to this." At this time, Feng Zhang, the elder of Tianxing Peak, said.
Luo Chen replied: "But they do have such ability. If we join them, we may be able to wipe out all the demons in Jiuzhou Continent."
"But in this way, the defensive power of Nanli Sect will be weakened a lot. It's already very good that we can survive safely now. Why should we divide part of our strength to help others?" said another elder.
In the meeting hall, all the elders were expressing their opinions. Of course, the purpose of their doing so was for the Nanli Sect, not for themselves.
Nanli Sect is the safest place now. If they send out a part of their forces like this, if something goes wrong , their foundation will be completely destroyed.
Listening to these people talking at once, Lin Yumu slowly said, "Silence."
After Lin Yumu finished speaking, the elders did not continue speaking. They were all waiting for Lin Yumu's next speech.
"I think we should join them this time." Lin Yumu looked at everyone and finally made a decision.
This sentence made many people stunned. Feng Zhang also stood up at this time and asked Lin Yumu: "Sect Master, if we do this, we will have to split a lot of our strength out."
Lin Yumu nodded, "Of course I know this, but have you ever thought about how long our Nanli Sect can hold out?"
This sentence stunned everyone, and they didn't know how to respond for a moment. To be honest, they didn't know how long this could last.
Although Nanli Sect has Chen Li, who is in the late stage of Spirit Transformation, they have also heard that it won't be long before a demon in the Tianyan stage appears.
By then, no matter how well their Nanli Sect defended themselves, they would not be able to withstand the attack of the Tianyan period demons.
“I’ve heard from those people from Xuantian Sect before that the alliance was formed by the hidden races of Bingling and Qingming, and they also have strong people in the Tianyan period.” Lin Yumu said.
This sentence was like a big hammer, hitting their hearts hard. The elders who had originally planned to refuse now lowered their heads and remained silent.
"The Sect Master is right. We are too narrow-minded. We will have to rely on your arrangements." Feng Zhang finally agreed. After all, this was also for the Nanli Sect.
The other elders who had refused all nodded and chose to agree. After all, it was indeed very good to be able to form an alliance with strong people like them.
Xiao Yuan waved his folding fan and said calmly, "We must agree, but I think we still have to get some benefits out of it."
This sentence stunned everyone. They didn't expect that Xiao Yuan actually planned to gain benefits from those people.
"It seems that Elder Xiao should have some insightful ideas. Let's hear them." Lin Yumu said.
Xiao Yuan continued, "With the accumulated strength of our Nanli Sect, we now have a certain combat capability. Since we want to form an alliance with them, we must ensure our own safety and let the strong men of the Bingling Clan guard Nanli Sect."
Although Nanli Sect now has many powerful people in the Spirit Transformation Stage guarding it, they are also very clear that the power they have shared out must be made up for.
"At the same time, I also hope that they can give some elixirs to help some of the sect's disciples grow. Even if they cannot be promoted to the Spirit Transformation Stage, at least they need to grow to the Golden Core Stage." Xiao Yuan said.
Everyone nodded. After all, they had strong men in the Tianyan period, so these suggestions were not too excessive.
Lin Yumu also agreed. Now that the Nanli Sect has gathered so much combat power, if they want them to join the alliance, it will definitely cost a certain price.
"In that case, let's do as Elder Xiao said. Let's adjourn the meeting. I will talk to him about this tomorrow." After Lin Yumu finished speaking, he left.
The elders of Nanli Sect didn't think much about it. They all left quickly and started to deal with their own affairs.
In Tianhong City, Chen Li had already come out of seclusion. It must be said that the recovery pill was indeed very effective. In just a few days, the injuries on his body had disappeared.
"It seems that there is no need to stay here any longer." Chen Li touched his chin and muttered to himself.
"Senior, have you come out yet?" At this time, Lin Qing's voice came to Chen Li's ears, which surprised him a little.
"Well, the injuries have recovered and it's almost time to leave." Chen Li replied.
Lin Qing certainly knew where Chen Li would go after he left here, so he said solemnly: "Senior, be careful, that place is not as simple as you think."
Chen Li waved his hand without thinking much, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
He was very fast and left Tianhong City in no time, and not many people noticed him.
After leaving Tianhong City, Chen Li went to the tall tower in the front as soon as possible. The other towers were being attacked by people from hidden races, so he just went to the most difficult tower.
After several hours of travel, Chen Li had arrived not far from the tall tower, but he had no intention of moving forward.
Because he could sense that there was a very strong demonic energy ahead, and if he continued to get closer, the strength in his body would be drained.
There was a city where the tower was built, but this city was already in ruins and even the walls had weathered.
"This power is quite scary." Chen Li muttered to himself.
Logically speaking, when the city wall was built, it must have been set up with a formation to ensure that it would not decay for a thousand years.
But now, under the erosion of the evil spirit, these walls have been completely weathered. I am afraid that an ordinary person could smash the walls into powder with one punch.
There were quite a few corpses in front of him. It could be seen that these people were probably corroded by evil spirits, and their blood and flesh were drained, turning them into mummies.
He took a deep breath, circulated his spiritual energy, and slowly took a step forward. As soon as he stepped in, he felt the demonic energy constantly eroding his body.
Even though Chen Li was a powerful warrior in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, he would still be corroded by this evil energy. However, the moment the evil energy flowed into his body, it was dispelled by a pure force.
Chen Li was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the dragon bones and dragon blood in his body would have such an effect.
It seems that I don’t have to worry about the erosion of these evil spirits and can enter it with confidence.
He didn't care about anything and immediately circulated his spiritual energy and flew towards the front. However, when he arrived at the city gate, he saw a series of figures appearing in his sight.
Chen Li frowned. Isn't there no life in this place? Why are there still enemies?
