The State of the World, Life and Death

"My lord!" Seeing that the other side was about to issue another conscription order, intending to mobilize the entire prefecture to break through this Great Marsh and the "True Martial Hall" within it, Kong Wenxuan immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This battle has lasted for several months, and as far as we know, the strongest enemy is only at the Fourth Tier."

"Why bother mobilizing the entire prefecture to deal with them? The Bi Household only needs to send a Fifth Tier Nascent Soul True Lord, who can naturally suppress and kill all these enemies and destroy that ' True Martial Hall '."

"Indeed, why mobilize the entire prefecture when a single Nascent Soul True Lord can handle it?"

"Who knows how many deaths and injuries will result?"

"If True Bi Household True Lord unable to spare the time, could you report this matter to higher authorities and request assistance from one or two Nascent Soul True Lord from Middle-Grade True Spirit Lineage?"

"Or perhaps, report to the prefectural government and request that they take a picture of the True Lord defeating the enemy?"

As Kong Wenxuan inquired, members of the True Spirit Lineage, such as the Ya Household, Jiao Household, and Fu Household, also stepped forward to pay their respects and inquire about the matter.

Faced with the crowd's questions, True Person Bi Yanshu, the head of the Revenue Department of the Prefectural Government, shook his head slightly and said:

"There's no other way! Most of the mid-grade and above True Spirit Lineage cultivators of the Fifth Tier and above in various prefectures and even state cities are currently engaged in battles in the ' Outer Heaven Battlefield,' fighting against the powerful cultivators invading from the ' True Martial World ' and the powerful Demon Race in the ' Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven.' Few are able to spare a moment."

"This invasion by the Demon Race in collusion with the martial artists of the ' True Martial World ' was premeditated. The martial artists of the ' True Martial World ' are currently launching a full-scale attack in the ' Outer Heaven Battlefield ' to tie down the high-level combat forces of our ' True Spirit Realm '."

"As far as the ' True Spirit Realm ' is concerned, these martial cultivators who have infiltrated it, even if they manage to seize some small Origin Fragment,' are merely a minor ailment."

"But if the ' Outer Heaven Battlefield ' falls, the entire ' True Spirit Realm ' will face a life-or-death crisis of complete invasion and slaughter."

"After all, in the void beyond our ' True Spirit Realm,' there isn't just the ' True Martial World,' but also other realms like the ' True Emperor Realm ' and the ' True Immortal Realm.'"

"However, our ' True Spirit Realm ' and ' True Martial World ' have always been at odds, engaging in the most battles and invasions against each other in the Outer Heaven Battlefield."

"However, once our ' True Spirit Realm's' Outer Heaven Battlefield truly falls, and is completely breached by the enemies of the ' True Martial World Realm,' colluding with the Demon Race of the ' Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven,' the gateway to invade our ' True Spirit Realm ' will be completely opened."

"Then, the cultivators of the ' True Emperor Realm ' and ' True Immortal Realm ' will definitely not let go of such a rare opportunity, and will surely take the chance to launch an attack on our ' True Spirit Realm ' together."

"At that time, our ' True Spirit Realm ' will truly face a life-or-death crisis!"

"Therefore, to deal with these Demon Race, martial cultivators, and the ' True Martial Hall,' we can only mobilize the strength of an entire prefecture. Only in the final life-or-death situation can we mobilize Nascent Soul True Lord or higher-level warriors from the ' Outer Heaven Battlefield ' to assist us!"

"Moreover, this time the Demon Race colluded with the martial artists of the ' True Martial World ' to invade, and the places in the ' True Spirit Realm ' that have been invaded are not limited to our ' Bifang Commandery '."

"It can be said that in most of the five regions of the ' True Spirit Realm,' there are now cases of Demon Race colluding with martial arts cultivators to invade."

"Even neighboring Qinggeng Commandery and Zhuyan Commandery, which border our Bifang Commandery, have counties that have been breached by martial artists in collusion with Demon Race. They are also engaged in endless battles with these invading martial artists and Demon Race."

"Therefore, even seeking help from neighboring counties is not an option; their situation may not be better than ours."

"As for the forces in the state capital and the royal capital, most of them are in the Outer Heaven Battlefield, and the few remaining forces are all busy with their own duties and it is basically impossible for them to provide support."

"Therefore, for now, we can only rely on ourselves to wipe out these invading Demon Race and martial artists, and destroy the ' True Martial Hall '."

Upon hearing Bi Yanshu's words, Kong Wenxuan and the others couldn't help but become serious and solemn.

Although they knew more or less about the situation beforehand, they knew that the battles in the Outer Heaven Battlefield were fierce and the pressure was immense, and they also knew that the Demon Race colluded with martial cultivators to invade, spreading almost everywhere in the five domains of the "True Spirit Realm" and causing considerable losses.

However, this was the first time they had heard that the situation was so serious. According to Bi Yanshu True Person, it seemed that the entire "True Spirit Realm" was in grave danger, and a moment's carelessness could lead to a life-or-death crisis!

Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, True Person Bi Yanshu seemed to realize that he had exaggerated the situation, and said with a smile, "Of course, I was only talking about the worst-case scenario, but in fact, as long as there are no problems in the Outer Heaven Battlefield, our ' True Spirit Realm ' doesn't need to worry about any issues."

"Those martial artists and Demon Race who invaded the ' True Spirit Realm ' can only send out a maximum of Fourth Tier combat power, and their numbers may not even be as many as ours."

"Their Fifth Tier and above combat power must also be committed to the Outer Heaven Battlefield, and only by going all out can they restrain the Fifth Tier and above combat power of the various True Spirit Lineage in our ' True Spirit Realm '."

"Therefore, the strongest enemy we face is only at the Fourth Tier."

"Therefore, the strongest enemy we face is only at the Fourth Tier."

"And rest assured, this time, our Bi Household will send even more Fourth Tier Golden Core True Person, as well as teams of cultivators and Dao soldiers of all ranks, to assist us, all in order to destroy this stronghold of the Demon Race and martial arts practitioners, and to destroy that ' True Martial Hall ' in one fell swoop."

"After all, the longer it drags on, the more serious the situation will become regarding the ' True Martial Hall ' plundering the ' Origin Fragment '!"

"If this continues and these cultivators and Demon Race actually plunder the ' Origin Fragment ' of this place, then it will be us, the True Spirit Lineage and Bloodline Lineage, who will suffer the most."

As he spoke, True Person Bi Yanshu repeated to Kong Wenxuan and the others that after the "Origin Fragment" was taken away, Bifang Commandery and the various True Spirit Lineage and Bloodline Cultivator Lineage within it would suffer severe consequences.

Upon hearing this, Kong Wenxuan and the others' expressions changed drastically.

Even though the Ya Household and Jiao Household are old-established Eighth-Grade True Spirit Lineage, they have been passed down for hundreds of years, but they are still at the bottom of the "Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty". They do not understand many things, nor do they know the tragic and disastrous consequences after their "Origin Fragment" were plundered.

That would not only sever the future of these "True Spirit Lineage," but they might even struggle to maintain their current strength and influence, leading to a continuous decline and eventual extinction.

That was truly being abandoned by heaven and earth, with absolutely no chance of survival or hope.

Thinking of that outcome, Kong Wenxuan and the others couldn't help but shake their heads. They immediately changed their attitudes and supported Bi Yanshu True Person in issuing another "summoning order."

At the same time, Kong Wenxuan and others also began to use the power of their respective "True Spirit Star" to relay messages to their Lineage, instructing them to summon Lineage subordinate Lineage to prepare for the call to arms and come to their aid!
