RETURNING FROM THE IMMORTAL WORLD

Chapter 1061 - Chapter 1070

Chapter 1061: An Extravagant Action

 

At Tang Xiu's words, Duanmu Lin's heart sunk and his expression turned ugly. After some time, he murmured, "Then, what should I do now? If that horrifying demonic beast were to lead the rest of demonic beasts to attack our defensive line, there's no way we could fend them off. If my estimation is correct, the number of demonic beasts in the Himalayas is definitely not as simple as tens of thousands. The number is likely much more than that."

"I think you have a correct estimation." Tang Xiu forced a smile and said, "The number of demonic beasts in this mountain range is definitely over tens of thousands. The Himalayas is too vast, and there must be a lot of demonic beasts in its depths we have no means to investigate. What is certain is that their number should be far more than 10,000."

"Do you have any good ideas, then?" asked Duanmu Lin. "Can the array you arranged withstand that horrifying demonic beast?"

Tang Xiu nodded. But then he shook his head and forced a smile. "The array I arrange can kill that fearsome demonic beast, and I'm sure I can trap it and kill it inside if I control the array. But then again, there are too demonic beasts. The rest of them may not be that powerful, but if they and that particularly terrifying demonic beast were to team up, they could easily break the array."

Prior to this, Duanmu Lin also pinned his hopes on the geomancy array Tang Xiu was about to arrange. But now, when he heard Tang Xiu's explanation, a deep sense of powerlessness engulfed him.

In case the array couldn't fend off those demonic beasts, what could he and the others do? Was there no other choice for him and the others but to come out and fight those demonic beasts head-on? With so many demonic beasts, the gap between the number of cultivators compared to the number of demonic beasts was too big. It was impossible to stop them!

After staying silent for a while, Tang Xiu asked, "Senior Duanmu, I'm afraid you'll need to mobilize all the cultivators in the country. We cannot hide this issue anymore. If you can, I hope you can invite some cultivators overseas to return to China to help us. To the best of my knowledge, there are cultivators of some Taoist schools who migrated overseas many years ago. If you can secure their help, it's likely that we can defend against the demonic beasts much easier."

'Foreign cultivators?'

Duanmu Lin let out a bitter smile and shook his head. "First of all, I know nothing about any of those monastic sects in foreign countries. Even if I did, they may not come back to help us. Tang Xiu, there are some things you don't know. After the founding of China, the country exterminated some of the cultivator forces. I'm afraid those cultivator schools who have left our country just don't like us anymore. Certainly, many of those purged cultivator forces were evil. Their actions then incited public wrath with their evil deeds, which was the very reason they had been targeted by the state."

"That's not necessarily true." Tang Xiu shook his head and said, "As far as I know, there's a Taoist monastic sect out of this case. The elders of this sect found a heavenly blessed land overseas. That place is suited for their cultivation, so they migrated there. They are not against our country and are also good people, I think."

"Which sect are you talking about?" asked Duanmu Lin quickly.

"I don't know about the others. I only know one." Tang Xiu shook his head and said, "Also, didn't you say there are still many hidden cultivation forces in China? We're now facing a crisis, so it's best to invite them all. The more powerful people we have, the better. Otherwise, not only will we get killed in case of a major crisis, but our country and its people will also plunge into misery and extinction."
