Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 259: Chapter 244: Turtle is the Biggest Winner_2

Because of this possibility, Meng Kui found it even more impossible to reveal his calculated results to Zhu Xuanji.

Meng Kui pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: “Ladies and gentlemen, we do need to find the culprit and punish them severely.”

“But right now, our real problem isn’t apprehending the true culprit but thwarting their plan to destroy Fire Persimmon Immortal City.”

“At this moment, the most important thing is how we survive this demon beast tide!”

Capturing the real culprit and inheriting the legacy had become secondary; the real focus was on how to resist the tide of demon beasts.

If they failed to resist, the existence of the Magma Fairy Palace would be in question.

The Golden Core cultivators all looked worried.

They all understood the principle of “a danger to one part is a threat to the whole.”

If the Immortal Palace ceased to exist, the Immortal City would hardly be safe.

The reason was obvious—when the nest is overturned, no egg is left intact!

No one could guarantee that the beasts who conquered and destroyed the Magma Fairy Palace would quell their anger and obediently return to their lairs.

It was more likely that their rage would remain unabated, flooding down to completely engulf Fire Persimmon Immortal City!

In such an event, tens of thousands of people would surely perish, dying miserable deaths in the jaws of various Red Flame Demon Beasts.

Zheng Shuanggou said: “The Magma Fairy Palace is easy to defend and hard to attack. Right now it is drawing the majority of the demon beasts. We have to assist in its defense, trying our best to kill as many demon beasts as possible, to make them retreat in fear.”

There were too many Red Flame Demon Beasts to kill them all.

But if they killed enough, the demon beast groups would retreat of their own accord.

In such a situation, only through killing to halt more killing, showcasing the strength of the Human Race, could they calm the enraged demon beasts.

There was no need for Meng Kui to persuade them; the Golden Core cultivators, with their broad vision and insight into the battle situation, quickly reached a consensus through brief exchanges.

To protect their home, the Immortal City, they had to hold the Magma Fairy Palace.

The Magma Fairy Palace also involved the legacy of the Three Ancestral Masters, a matter of great interest, and it could not be lost!

Meng Kui said solemnly: “Given the current situation, the Golden Core cultivators indeed needed to hold the Magma Fairy Palace.”

“At present, we have only spotted one Nascent Soul-level Runaway Fire Snake.”

“But the scale of this beast tide is so immense, there must be more than one Nascent Soul-level demon beast involved. We need to be prepared in advance!”

“The Three Ancestral Masters were great cultivators of the Cultivating the Void stage, and this is one of their palaces. The palace itself is very powerful.”

“You Golden Core cultivators can leverage the advantage of the Magma Fairy Palace to confront Nascent Soul-level opponents.”

The Golden Core cultivators understood Meng Kui’s meaning.

He needed them to hold off the Nascent Soul-level demon beasts directly, buying him a window of opportunity to personally slay them.

If two Nascent Soul-level demon beasts attacked simultaneously, the Golden Core cultivators would have to stall one of them at the Magma Fairy Palace while Meng Kui handled the other.

Meng Kui was the core of the Human Clan cultivators’ fighting strength.

Only if he held an advantage would the Human Clan cultivators have an upper hand in the entire battle against the beast tide!

Zhou Nongying suddenly said: “Do we need to request reinforcements from the South Bean Royal Family now?”

Meng Kui shook his head, indicating that at present, it wasn’t necessary.

He had no desire to request reinforcements.

On one hand, the situation hadn’t reached that point yet. On the other hand, doing so would undoubtedly diminish his political achievements.

Meng Kui looked at Zhu Xuanji: “I intend to gather all our manpower to hold the Magma Fairy Palace.”

“The Purple Dawn Pavilion and Taiqing Palace can both be invited to send reinforcements. What does Zhu Divine Capture think?”

The two Golden Core cultivators from the Zheng Family showed slight changes in expression.

Zhu Xuanji nodded in agreement.

Meng Kui was certainly aware that the Golden Core True Transmission disciple of Taiqing Palace had already been killed. But he pretended not to know, displaying no flaws in his speech, fully exhibiting his seasoned skills as an immortal official.

Meng Kui continued: “The Cloud Merchant’s strength can also be utilized. Especially that Cloud Whale, which is Nascent Soul level. What do you think, Zhu Divine Capture?”

Zhu Xuanji nodded: “This Cloud Merchant team is large and can traverse the vast oceans; naturally, they have some skills. In terms of battle strength, we can certainly expect more from them.”

“However, they are outsiders, so we can’t be completely unguarded against them.”

“Moreover, negotiating for their forces requires the City Lord’s Mansion to personally step forward.”

Meng Kui nodded slightly, finally saying: “Besides them, Fire Persimmon Immortal City also has two Golden Core cultivators, Yang Chanyu and Luo Shang.”

“What is Zhu Divine Capture’s opinion of them?”

Zhu Xuanji pondered: “If richly enticed, leveraging their power wouldn’t be infeasible.”

Meng Kui’s face relaxed.

He couldn’t directly propose this matter, considering that colluding with members of the Demon Path was a serious accusation, detrimental to his future political career.

But it was different for Zhu Xuanji, a royal family member.

Recruiting two Demon Path members was highly sensitive, easily exploited by political adversaries as evidence to target and attack him.

Moreover, the benefits of recruiting them were substantial.

On the one hand, he could use the Golden Core cultivators’ strength. On the other hand, it would allow him to monitor and restrain them, preventing any mischief.

Zhu Xuanji said: “I need to send a letter to the Monarch to report the situation here.”

“Additionally, I have another proposal.”

“Each of the four sides has a Renovation Team. It’s time to have these team members collectively enter the Immortal Palace!”

The bombardment from the Five Elements Turret made Zhu Xuanji place greater importance on the various tasks within the Immortal Palace.

Zhu Xuanji, taking Ning Xiaohui’s circumstances into account, believed: Renovation team members were trial disciples, essentially part of the Magma Fairy Palace. Entering the Immortal Palace, they received considerable privileges.@@novelbin@@
