As long as they handed over the mountain pass, they would be able to recover their lives. By now, everyone basically understood what was going on in their hearts. Don’t even think about resisting. Just think about being able to fool them and return alive.

This day passed smoothly, and all the surviving cultivators felt as if they had escaped death.

Cultivators kept asking when they would leave this mountain pass.

However, Wu Yang and Da Lieba’s captains were caught blind, because up until now, there was still no news from the Mingze Alliance. Another day passed, and the cultivators they sent finally returned.

This person was a Heavenly Sovereign. Wu Yang and Patriarch Daojun knew that things were going to be troublesome when they saw him. That person’s face was ashen. After seeing Wu Yang and Da Lieba, he said, “We can’t leave. The Mingze Alliance ordered us to guard the mountain pass. The reinforcements will not arrive until ten days later. We will be handing over the reinforcements at that time.”

Everyone was dumbfounded. This was the rhythm of the pit towards death. Wu Yang said in a low voice, “You didn’t report it. Are there only a few hundred of us left?”

The Heavenly Monarch smiled bitterly and said, “I said it very clearly, but they simply ignored it. They directly ordered, I, I have no way to resist.”

Lei Xingfeng said, “Ten days? That means there are nine days left?”

The man shook his head and said, “From the day I came back, they made it very clear.”

Suddenly, curses filled the surroundings. Wu Yang and Da Lieba remained silent. After a long while, Wu Yang said, “What other news? When I asked you to go over, I specifically instructed you to pay attention to the situation of the other teams. What information do you have?”

The man said, “Yes, yes, I hear a lot.”

Everyone immediately asked.

Wu Yang clapped his hands and said, “Be quiet, I’ll ask!”

Only then did everyone calm down and stared at that person.

Wu Yang said, “How many people have been sent to occupy the mountain pass this time?”

The man said, “We are the only one, the only one who succeeded! All the other attacking teams, without exception, died in battle. This matter caused a huge uproar. Many sects began to protest, and they were unwilling to carry out their missions. In other words, the second wave of cultivators were temporarily unable to set out.”

Lei Xingfeng couldn’t help but ask, “Could it be that the second team didn’t succeed?”

The man said, “A few teams did succeed, but they were not able to defend and were taken back. After a few battles, they were basically exhausted.”

Everyone was speechless. No wonder it would cause a backlash from the sects below. The Mingze Alliance had gone too far, but thinking about a colossus like the Mingze Alliance, what was the use of a backlash? Everyone’s hearts became extremely heavy.

One of the Heavenly Monarchs said resentfully, “At most, this daddy will quit!”

Da Lieba sneered, “Quit? You’re going to be a wild cultivator? You’re the only one who wants to become a Daolord in the future? Stop dreaming. Even if the Mingze Alliance doesn’t kill you, do you think life will be easy? Not to mention, the Mingze Alliance will punish your sect for this.”

Immediately, the Heavenly Monarch lowered his head and didn’t say a word. Everyone knew that this was angry words, but they were truly unconvinced. This was too deceiving.

Everyone’s gazes fell on Lei Xingfeng, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “We haven’t reached such a level of despair. It’s useless to think too much. Let’s wait for ten days. Perhaps, I’m talking about the possibility that the outsiders aren’t ready yet. No matter how many mountain passes attack at the same time, I believe their forces might not be that large!”

Everyone nodded in acknowledgement of Lei Xingfeng’s reasoning. However, there were still some who had doubts in their hearts. They asked, “If the outsiders had foreign aid, then it would be enough for them to gather for such a long time. Once they decide to attack, we will definitely be the focus here, because we are the only team occupying the mountain pass!”

Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “Yes, we are gambling. They are not that fast. We will leave as long as we drag them out for another ten days.”

Actually, no one had any confidence in their hearts right now, because once you persevered for ten days, if Mingze Alliance gave the order to persist for another ten days, then they would be miserable.

“If we really can’t hold on, everyone will understand the consequences,” said Lei Xingfeng.

Apart from dying in battle, there seemed to be no way out. However, Wu Yang and Lei Xingfeng didn’t care. At worst, they would just leave. There was no pressure in their hearts. The others were different. They could only fight to the death and persevere. The consequences of escaping were too severe. Those who weren’t particularly selfish wouldn’t choose to do so.

Someone sighed with emotion, “Even if we enter, we will die. Mingze Alliance is going to force us to death!”

‘”That’s right, you’re forcing us to death!” Said Lei Xingfeng coolly.

Everyone was stunned. Thinking about it, this was the truth. How could Mingze Alliance be like this? Everyone’s heart was filled with doubt.

“Don’t think too much,” said Lei Xingfeng. “Our most important task now is to survive. Put the rest aside.”

Wu Yang and Da Lieba began to assign tasks. They took turns patrolling. Ten days wasn’t long, but it wasn’t short. They had to arrange their subordinates’ tasks, including the task of guarding sentry. They couldn’t wait until the outsiders ran out before they were on alert.

So at Lei Xingfeng’s suggestion, the sentry post was set up all the way to the canyon.

Lei Xingfeng took the time to return to the Jingzhi Realm, discussed the situation outside with Gu Qi, arranged things, and set up the coordinates of the continent before returning.

Wu Yang stayed outside, and Lei Xingfeng didn’t return for more than two hours, so no one was able to discover it.

“Is everything all right?” Said Lei Xingfeng.

Wu Yang shook his head and said, “Nothing will happen for the time being. Even if the outsiders attack, they still need time to prepare.”

“Everything is fine at home,” said Lei Xingfeng. “Master will let you rest assured.”

Wu Yang smiled and said, “Of course it’s good. They don’t have to fight to the death. They can always reach a very high level by cultivating step by step.”

Lei Xingfeng said, “In the future, there will be some battles. After seeing Mingze Alliance, my confidence is a bit lacking. They are all starting to consume their own strength, and we are still worrying about growing stronger and developing.”

Wu Yang said, “How many years have they developed? How many years have we? The difference is too great! But we have the Jingzhi Realm. Sooner or later, we will develop.”

Lei Xingfeng said, “I wonder if the Mingze Alliance has a Jingzhi Realm. If so …”

Wu Yang shook his head repeatedly and said, “That’s not certain. Anyway, with the Jingzhi Realm, I definitely won’t reveal it. I haven’t heard any news about the Jingzhi Realm here. There isn’t even any secret space here. It’s an interesting place.”

Lei Xingfeng said, “If we can’t stop the outsiders this time, we can only return to the Jingzhi Realm. I didn’t expect the Mingze Alliance to use this method to consume extra people. It’s too ruthless.”

Wu Yang said, “There are only so many resources, old and new. It’s just that this kind of undisguised method is boring.”

“It’s not just annoying, it’s detestable,” said Lei Xingfeng.

Wu Yang said, “We are nobody now. We won’t be able to affect Mingze Alliance at all. Haha, Feng, it’s good that we can protect ourselves. We really can’t afford to offend such a huge monster!”

Lei Xingfeng said, “Forget it. The Mingze Alliance consumes its own strength anyway. It has nothing to do with us. Let’s go out and see what’s going on.”

The two of them walked out of the room and arrived at the other side of the mountain pass. They looked at the canyon in the distance. At this time, several Daolord Patriarchs and Heavenly Monarchs walked over, including Dariba and Ning Er’aba.

“The good news is that the outsiders haven’t come yet,” Dariba said. “The bad news is that even ten days won’t necessarily bring reinforcements.”

Lei Xingfeng said, “No reinforcements?”

One Patriarch Daojun said: “There was a rebellion. They attacked the inspectors and caused a chain reaction.”

Lei Xingfeng was surprised, “It actually caused a revolt!”

“It’s a mess now. I heard that there are more than a hundred thousand people resisting. Although the scale is not big, the reactions caused by it have made the Mingze Alliance not dare to suppress them recklessly. They are still fighting. However, I estimate that they will be negotiating very soon,” Dalei said tyrannically.

“Does that mean that no one cares about us now?” Lei Xingfeng said.

“That’s right!” Dalei said tyrannically.

“Then what the hell are you defending? Let’s retreat as well,” said Lei Xingfeng angrily.

“If we don’t defend the mountain pass, then we are joining the rebellion,” Dalei said domineeringly.

Wu Yang smiled bitterly and said, “What bad luck!”

There was no way to advance or retreat.

Wu Yang gritted his teeth and said, “Stay here for now. We can only hope that those outsiders will arrive later. We can only wait!” His goal was to infiltrate the Mingze Alliance. However, if he failed to complete the mission and treated it as a consumable, he would definitely not do it. He did not pose a threat to him or Lei Xingfeng now, so holding on was the only option at the moment.

Lei Xingfeng also agreed, “Keep it first. If you can’t keep it then we’ll talk!” His goal was the same as Wu Yang’s, so it wasn’t strange for him to have such a choice.

Everyone else thought about it. There was no fire burning their buttocks, so they could only wait and see. Perhaps Mingze Alliance would resolve the conflict soon and send someone to replace them.

A Patriarch Daojun pointed at the canyon and said, “Look, look! Our hidden sentry!”

Just these words made everyone nervous. A black shadow flew over at an astonishing speed. Strands of smoke and dust rose up behind him. The ground shook. In just a few minutes, the hidden sentry had already broken into the defensive array. However, he had the Little Lei Xingfeng card made by Restriction, so Restriction turned a blind eye to him.

In front of everyone, this was a Heavenly Monarch level expert. He said, “Many, many outsiders are gathered in the canyon, coming towards us!”

Finally!

Everyone’s heart, which was originally in their hands, suddenly relaxed. The feeling of waiting was actually not good. When the real enemy came, they calmed down instead. No matter what, they had to resist for a while first. With the Restriction Formation, they had a little bit of confidence.
