Chapter 1491 The Expectations of All

"Everyone, there's no need to be too nervous. While Wushuang City cannot hold out forever, there is still a glimmer of hope!"

The City Lord of Wushuang spoke, "As long as someone goes to Baidi City to seek reinforcements, this crisis can be resolved!"

"Go seek reinforcements?"

Many people exchanged glances, but immediately fell silent. They knew very well that there were numerous strange beasts here, and attempting to leave forcefully would be a sure path to death. They were not about to be such a fool.

Seeing everyone's expressions, the City Lord of Wushuang's face turned grim. "I must defend Wushuang City, so I cannot leave. Otherwise, I would not be placing my hopes upon you!"

"City Lord of Wushuang, isn't this a joke!"

Gu Jianxiu spoke with a laugh, "The outside is full of strange beasts. You want us to go seek reinforcements? Isn't that just courting death!"

"I know this is extremely dangerous, but it is the only way to have a sliver of hope!" the City Lord of Wushuang stated again. "If no one goes, this will inevitably be a dead end!"

"Even if I die, I'll be the last to die. I won't risk my life for you!" the Blood Demon Ancestor declared confidently.

The other people quickly retreated. At least, in their opinion, staying alive was the most important thing. As for other matters, they had no desire to be suckers.

Following these words, the City Lord of Wushuang frowned. He had not expected these people to be so selfish and speak so openly.

"Since someone must go, then let me go!"

Lu Fan stepped forward. "After all, dying here is also a dead end. Perhaps going to seek reinforcements will offer a chance of survival!"

The City Lord of Wushuang looked at Lu Fan, his eyes filled with joy. Lu Fan's willingness to go was a great fortune for the entire Wushuang City.

"Going to seek reinforcements is extremely dangerous!" Zhao Xiaotian reminded him. "Have you thought it through?"

"Since we're trapped here, it's a dead end anyway. Might as well carve out a bloody path!"

Lu Fan's voice was solemn. "This way, there might still be a chance of survival!"

"Little brother, you are indeed not an ordinary person. Your words are truly astonishing!" The City Lord of Wushuang cupped his fists. "The entire Wushuang City is entrusted to you, little brother!"

Lu Fan also cupped his fists, showing great respect to the City Lord of Wushuang. The City Lord had clearly put in great effort for the safety of the city, and would not have resorted to this unless it was the last resort.

"Since you have made your decision, I will accompany you on this journey!" the Skyfire Ancestor stated. "I hope we can leave alive!"

"Add me to that count!" Zhao Xiaotian smiled. They had come together, and naturally, they would leave together.

"If the three of you go together, you won't come back, will you?" the Blood Demon Ancestor asked. "If you truly don't return, won't we be trapped here to die!"

"What are you saying? If you're that worried, why don't you go to Baidi City to seek reinforcements yourself?" Zhao Xiaotian inquired.

The Blood Demon Ancestor immediately fell silent, a hint of embarrassment on his face. Being called out by Zhao Xiaotian, he seemed at a loss for words.

"If someone is going to seek reinforcements, I naturally won't take the lead. But if no one is going, then don't speak nonsense!"

Lu Fan said calmly. "What I detest most are people whose words and actions don't match!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor was furious and about to retort to Lu Fan, but was pulled back by Gu Jianxiu beside him. "Since they are going to their deaths, let them go. Why do you need to get involved!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor instantly came to his senses and nodded, not saying anything more to Lu Fan.

Lu Fan was willing to go to his death, but he was not. If he were to clash with Lu Fan, and Lu Fan suddenly turned on him, it would be difficult for him. Even the City Lord of Wushuang would not easily let him off.

"I entrust this to you!"

The City Lord of Wushuang cupped his fists, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan, his expression even more solemn.

"Don't worry!"

Lu Fan nodded, and at the same time, his aura instantly radiated, preparing to fight the numerous strange beasts to the death and head towards Baidi City.

"Fellow Daoists, attack with me and block the monsters from the east, allowing them to break through from the east!"

The City Lord of Wushuang spoke, his voice carrying a powerful aura, like sending off a warrior to the battlefield.

Everyone dared not delay. Lu Fan and the others carried their mission. If they could leave alive and reach Baidi City, perhaps reinforcements could truly be summoned.

At that time, they would not be in such a sorry state.

After all, surviving in the entire Primordial World was extremely difficult.

In the blink of an eye, everyone surged forward, carrying an unparalleled momentum, charging towards the strange beasts in the east. There was no looking back, no hesitation.

Seeing this, Lu Fan and the others dared not be negligent. They immediately unleashed their supreme divine abilities, intending to break through from the east and leave this place. As long as they could safely leave and evade these strange beasts, they would succeed.

The green-faced, fanged monsters were attacked by the City Lord of Wushuang and the others, emitting roaring sounds. The monsters from the other three directions seemed to sense it and converged towards this area, appearing exceptionally terrifying.

Lu Fan and the others directly broke open a path and stepped out of the beast tide, their bodies enveloped in endless flames.

Seeing the situation was not right, the green-faced, fanged monsters quickly moved to block them, unwilling to allow anyone to leave Wushuang City, as if possessing intelligence.

"Everyone, do not hold back! You must stall it! We absolutely cannot let it disrupt our plan!"

The City Lord of Wushuang said coldly, his powerful aura pushing the monster back a few steps. His eyes carried a coldness, as if everything was under his control.

Seeing Lu Fan and the others escape, the green-faced, fanged monster let out a furious roar, as if the City Lord of Wushuang's move had thoroughly angered it.

At the same time, the other numerous strange beasts surged towards Lu Fan like a tide, as if they had received some command, appearing even more ferocious.

"Return to Wushuang City!"

The City Lord of Wushuang shouted, leading everyone back into Wushuang City. Lu Fan and the others had already disappeared from his sight, and he was not entirely sure if they could reach Baidi City alive.

However, if they did not retreat into Wushuang City soon, they would likely be in mortal danger, as several other green-faced, fanged monsters had already arrived.

Lu Fan and the others charged through the beast tide, their faces splattered with blood. These strange beasts were fearless and showed no signs of stopping, carrying immense power wherever they went.

Meanwhile, everyone could clearly see that many strange beasts had left Wushuang City, apparently to pursue Lu Fan and the others.

Standing on the city wall, the City Lord of Wushuang's expression was grave. "I wonder if they can succeed!"

"Even if they succeed, they may not actually go to Baidi City!" Gu Jianxiu stated directly.
