Chapter 1939

The outskirts of Ji Ze Region had been surrounded by the foreign race army.

There were experts of all levels in the foreign race army, and there were even six heaven-defying experts.

It would be a piece of cake for such a team to destroy such a city.

Sensing the auras of the Heaven Realm experts outside the city, the cultivators of Ji Ze Region fell into panic, including the Heaven Realm experts who hadn't escaped in time.

The defensive formation had been activated. Looking at the city through the formation, Song Shan nodded in satisfaction when he saw the panicked cultivators in the city.

This was the effect he wanted to see from the pressure of the army.

He stepped forward and arrived outside the formation to ensure that his figure could be seen by all the cultivators in the city.

A strange red light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled faintly. His voice was transmitted into the formation, "Let me introduce myself first. I am Song Shan, from a beautiful planet called Song Wei Star. I am a Heaven-Defying One from our world."

Hearing Song Shan's self-introduction, Huo Ming curled his lips and said, "Showing off your identity in front of a bunch of ants and being so proud of yourself. How boring."

Qian Nai, who rarely spoke, glanced at Huo Ming and said, "This isn't showing off, it's a method."

"Introducing yourself in front of people and showing off your identity can also be called a method?" Huo Ming curled his lips.

"You'll know when you see."

Some of the cultivators in the city heard Song Shan's words and their expressions changed. However, some of them were confused. Evidently, not everyone knew about heaven-defying experts.

Song Shan did not show any anger at the ignorance of most cultivators. Instead, he patiently explained, "Heaven-Defying cultivators are known as the strongest existences. They can be said to be invincible among those of the same level. Their battle prowess is very strong. Take Zi Chen, who you are familiar with, for example. He has killed over a hundred Heaven Realm cultivators by himself. He is a Heaven-Defying cultivator.

When the cultivators in the city heard this, they were first in an uproar. Then, their expressions changed greatly, and their faces were filled with horror.

Zi Chen had killed over 655 Heaven Realm experts, which shocked them. However, they couldn't help but reevaluate Song Shan. It was clear that both of them were heaven-defying experts, and this person had the ability to match Zi Chen and kill hundreds of Heaven Realm experts.

At that moment, there were only a dozen or so Heaven Realms in the vast Ji Ze Region. They could not stop the other party at all.

As their expressions changed, most of the cultivators in the city were on the verge of despair. There were also some who maintained their rationality, but their expressions were filled with doubt.

Logically speaking, it would be a simple matter for such a powerful existence to destroy this city, so why waste time explaining to them?

Could it be that there was something else?

Song Shan smiled faintly when he saw those despairing expressions. He had already achieved half of his goal. He changed the topic and said, "You don't have to worry too much. Our target this time is someone else. We won't kill the innocent."

After despair came hope. Everyone looked at Song Shan, their faces full of surprise and expectation.

"Our goal this time is to find Zi Chen. It is also because of Zi Chen that we came here."

Hearing this, everyone's expression became very complicated. They had all heard about Zi Chen's deeds. He was a true hero, a truly powerful existence.

In their hearts, Zi Chen was worthy of respect. However, when they heard Song Shan's words, their thoughts began to change.

"Our goal is only Zi Chen. Unfortunately, he has disappeared. We have searched many places but could not find him. He has gone into hiding. We have no choice but to surround this city."

Song Shan said loudly, "Next, I will not kill the innocent. However, we must find Zi Chen. Now, I will let one fifth of you go. The rest of you go out and look for Zi Chen. Ten days. I will only give you ten days. If you cannot find Zi Chen in ten days, then the other cultivators in this city will be destroyed."

The originally quiet city instantly became restless. Everyone was shocked at first, but then they rushed towards the city gates as fast as they could. No one could stop them.

For a moment, the cultivators who had remained silent and even wanted to fight were completely thrown into chaos.

Hope was right in front of them. When most people saw hope in their despair, the first thing they thought of was themselves. As such, the entire city fell into chaos. As long as they could get out, they would be able to survive.

Looking at the chaotic city, Song Shan nodded in satisfaction.

Behind him, Qian Nai praised, "Good plan. Those who leave are worried about the people in the city and will definitely look for Zi Chen. If the people in the city do not see Zi Chen, they will definitely feel resentment. Once their family members die, those who left will also blame it all on Zi Chen. This time, Zi Chen must appear."

This could be considered coercion and coercion.

As Song Shan lightly waved his hand, four openings opened in the encirclement. The four openings faced the four city gates.

Song Shan's voice sounded out, "Pass down my orders. One fifth of the people are allowed to leave, but Heaven Realm cultivators are not allowed to leave."

"Yes."

A loud voice sounded out.

"Remember, you only have ten days. If ten days are up and Zi Chen does not come, the Auspicious Lake Region will cease to exist."

The entire city fell into chaos, and there were even some pushing and shoving. After the four openings appeared in the Great City Barrier Formation, the cultivators began to riot.

"Scram! Let me out!"

"Let me out! I was the one who got here first!"

"I can find Zi Chen! I know where Zi Chen is! Let me out!"

"Go to hell!"

"You dare to come here tonight? Go to hell!"

It was shoving and shoving, followed by conflict. Finally, the conflict escalated and there were casualties.

Many cultivators rushed out of the city through the openings. When they reached the encirclement, these cultivators were very nervous, but when they saw that the Outsiders had no intention of attacking, they relaxed and immediately rushed into the distance.

When the others saw that the Outsiders were not attacking, they all madly rushed out of the city, and it was quite common for them to fight.

Regardless of whether they could find Zi Chen or not, those ten days were enough for them to run far away and escape this calamity.

Seeing the chaos at the four city gates, Song Shan smiled coldly.

After a moment, he waved his hand and said, "There are enough people. If anyone comes out, kill them without mercy."

As he spoke, the encirclement was once again blocked by the Outsiders. When the human cultivators saw this, their expressions changed drastically. Some of them were unwilling and wanted to force their way through.

"Pfft." "Pfft." "Pfft."

The Outsiders attacked fiercely, and cultivators were killed one after another, their corpses falling to the ground.

The remaining people who were still fighting at the city gates had a bad feeling and immediately retreated into the city.

"Buzz."

The light trembled, and the openings in the Great City Barrier Formation were blocked again. The human cultivators who had not yet rushed in were blocked outside.

What awaited them was a swarm of Outsiders.

Nearly a fifth of the cultivators left the city and scattered in all directions. Some of them did indeed go to look for Zi Chen, but some chose to escape.

As for what they did, Song Shan did not care. He only needed to wait here for ten days. If Zi Chen did not appear, this city would be destroyed.

Then, he would go to the next city and wait until Zi Chen appeared.

The longer Zi Chen delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

…

…

In a mountain forest, hundreds of cultivators were scattered. These people were looking for Zi Chen, because their families were still in the Ji Ze Region.

But in such a large world, it was easier said than done to find a Heaven-Defying Cultivator who wanted to hide.

It was impossible to find him. Since they could not find him, they could only shout.

Fortunately, they were all cultivators. Even if they shouted, their voices could be heard dozens of miles away.

"Zi Chen, Lord Zi Chen."

"Lord Zi Chen, where are you?"

"Lord Zi Chen, the Ji Ze Region will be massacred by the Outsiders in ten days. Please hurry over and help."

"…"

The shouts could be heard dozens of miles away. When the other cultivators heard them, they followed suit.

For a time, within hundreds of thousands of miles of the Ji Ze Region, voices searching for Zi Chen could be heard everywhere.

…

…

Zi Chen sat cross-legged at the top of his World Origin. His clones sat cross-legged beside him.

The Heaven-Defying Energy condensed by these clones would rush to Zi Chen's true body.

As time passed, the Heaven-Defying Energy around Zi Chen increased in number. It was like a ribbon of energy, revolving around Zi Chen.

Zi Chen opened his eyes and looked at the harvest of the past month. A bitter smile appeared on his face.

Because he had too many Laws, condensing the Heaven-Defying Energy was extremely difficult.

Looking at the situation before him, even with the help of his clones, Zi Chen would need hundreds of years to condense all the World Origin Energy into Heaven-Defying Energy.

However, the amount of Heaven-Defying Energy he had condensed in this month was thousands of times more than when he had killed the Winged Planet.

Just as he relaxed his mind, the voice from the outside world entered Zi Chen's ears through the World Origin Energy.

Zi Chen was stunned at first, but when he heard the contents of the shouts, his expression turned ugly.

Obviously, the Outsiders were using the lives of the cultivators in the Ji Ze Region to threaten him and force him to show himself.

If he did not show himself, the other party would continue to do this.

"Damn it."

Zi Chen had already experienced the methods of the Outsiders. This time, they had taken the initiative to provoke him. It was obvious that they had gathered enough Heaven-Defying Cultivators.

"There are still five days left. I'll try to condense more Heaven-Defying Energy."

Time was of the essence. Every bit of Heaven-Defying Energy would increase Zi Chen's battle strength, so Zi Chen continued to condense.

…

…

For the cultivators in the Ji Ze Region, time passed by too quickly. In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

None of the cultivators who had left earlier returned. Zi Chen did not appear either.

There were only five days left until the massacre. The entire city was filled with anxiety and despair.

On the brink of death, their emotions fluctuated greatly. If not for the suppression of the Heaven Realm, they might have done something extreme.
