If you are an immortal, you will live forever after you die.

As the demons attacked at all costs, a large number of demons died on the battlefield in the Demon Suppression City. At the same time, a large number of human monks also died in the battle.

As for the demon race, as the space rift above them grew larger, new demons continued to emerge and join, while the number of human cultivators decreased as they died...

After two months of siege, the central defense line was lost...

Half a year later, the inner defense line was lost and all the monks had to retreat into the city to defend it.

Compared to the high morale at the beginning of the war, the morale of the monks from the Demon-Suppressing City has obviously dropped a lot!

"We have been defending the Demon Suppression City for half a year, and the number of demons besieging us outside is increasing. Why haven't the many sects in Southern Xinjiang come to support us?"

"Support? I guess that's impossible... In Southern Xinjiang, the only ones qualified to support the Demon Suppression City are the Shura Demon Sect and the Zhizhen Sect, but these two major sects... are probably busy consolidating their own mountain gates right now..."

"When disaster strikes, everyone flees. I'm afraid the Demon Suppression City has been abandoned..."

"Then aren't we going to be trapped here and die?"

"If you don't stay in the city, you will die faster if you leave the city..."

"Yes, even if you are a Nascent Soul cultivator, you can't leave the city now. I really regret not leaving the Demon Suppression City before the demons surrounded us!"

"It's too late to say these things now. This is a war between races. The demon race won't take prisoners!"

"Haha, even if they are prisoners, I'm afraid they can only be used as food. The monsters may eat the prisoners at any time when they are hungry..."

"I never thought that I would die after only two months of forming my elixir..."

There is great terror between life and death, which is most likely to stimulate people's potential.

After half a year of fighting, many cultivators broke through their original realms, and even more than one realm. There were also many newly born Jindan cultivators, and some even advanced to Yuanying...

"Qinglong, the morale in the city is a bit low!"

The Demon Suppression City Lord has a strong spiritual sense, so the situation in the city cannot be hidden from him...

"It's a bit low, mainly because we have been besieged for too long, but there has been no reinforcement!"

"Many cultivators in the city have realized that the Demon Suppression City may be abandoned by the Shura Demon Sect and the Zhizhen Sect!"

"We have no reinforcements, and the number of cultivators is decreasing as the battle goes on, while the number of enemy monsters has not decreased, but has increased a lot. So... most of the cultivators are not optimistic about this battle of ours, but they can't escape... So no matter how I increase the reward, the morale still can't be raised..." said the Azure Dragon General.

The Demon-Suppressing City guards the precious land of southern Xinjiang. The wealth accumulated over tens of thousands of years is no joke. It is enough to cope with the needs of a large-scale war!

Among the foundation-building cultivators, some were rewarded for their outstanding military exploits and thus advanced to the Golden Core stage. Therefore, the overall strength within the Demon-Suppressing City did not decline, but increased instead!

“Rewards alone are not enough. We still have to give them some hope…” said the Lord of the Demon-Suppressing City.

How to boost morale when there is no hope of survival?

"hope?"

"But... Lord City Lord, didn't you say that the Zhizhen Sect and the Shura Demon Sect will not come to support us?" said the Qinglong General.

Not only the monks below were in despair, but also the Azure Dragon General...

As a cultivator, you fight against the heaven for your life, hoping to attain enlightenment, become an immortal, and live forever, freely and at ease!

Although General Qinglong is not afraid of coexisting and perishing with the Demon-Suppressing City, who wants to die while still being able to stay alive?

“They won’t come, but you have to... give them some hope, right?” The Lord of the Demon-Suppressing City said leisurely.

"Lord City Lord means... to deceive them?" said General Qinglong.

"It's not really a lie... it's just giving them some hope..."

“Qinglong, you have lived in the Demon-Suppressing City since you were a child, and you know what the responsibilities of the Demon-Suppressing City are. Have you never thought that our ancestors... may have already left a way out for us?” The Lord of the Demon-Suppressing City said with a smile.

"A way to survive?"

Upon hearing this, General Qinglong's eyes lit up immediately, and then he said, "Yes... The Demon-Suppressing City is the front line to suppress the 100,000 demons in the southern border. Our ancestors must have thought of the demons in the 100,000 mountains a long time ago. They would counterattack one day, so it is impossible for them not to have a backup plan..."

"Haha...so...I wouldn't say this isn't a lie..."

"The Demon-Suppressing City has a backup plan, but whether it can be activated... is still uncertain. It will take time..."

“So, the morale in the city cannot continue to be so low. Otherwise, I am not ready yet, and the monks will have no intention of defending the city, resulting in the city being broken. That would be the end of us!” said the Lord of the Demon-Suppressing City.

"I understand. Please rest assured, Lord City Lord, I will make arrangements..."

"I just don't know... Lord City Lord, how long will it take to prepare for the backup plan?" asked General Qinglong.

"At present, it will take one year... It would be best if it could take two years, that should be enough!" The Demon Suppression City Lord said uncertainly...

In fact... this so-called back-up plan does not require too much time to prepare.

But the Demon Suppression City Lord still said so...

The main reason is that they want the Demon-Suppressing City to hold out for a while longer. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of the Demon-Suppressing City that the ancestors had worked so hard to build?

We have to... make the demon tribe pay a sufficient price before they can leave!

Up to now, except for the two fourth-level demon kings that were dispatched by the demon clan at the beginning, no fourth-level demon king has been dispatched until now...

The low and middle level monsters must be killed, but what is more important are those fourth level transformed demon kings!

Finally... he could also use the energy emitted by these demons after their death to break through to the spirit transformation...

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

"One year is not a problem, but if it comes to two years... we can only try our best to defend, and see how strong the monsters' attacks are..." said General Qinglong with a wry smile.

If the fourth-level great demon king does not take action, the middle and low-level demon beasts outside will take over. Let alone one or two years, even if they are given ten years, the Demon-Suppressing City will still remain standing!

But the key point is that those fourth-level demon kings will not sit idly by...

There is a time for the two worlds to merge. When the time comes, the two worlds will gradually separate. At that time, those monsters who cannot leave in time will be stranded in this world, just like the mother phoenix...

Therefore, for the demon race, their best option is to complete the conquest of human cultivators within the time when the two worlds meet. Otherwise, when the two worlds are separated, the demon race will lose the support of subsequent forces and will sooner or later be defeated by human cultivators.

The reason why the last war between humans and demons failed was because the demons failed to defeat the human race, or in other words, defeat the Central Dynasty during the intersection of the two worlds!

Therefore, both parties are racing against time, one is trying to delay time, and the other is trying to hurry up...
