Chapter 531
When Gu Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath and nodded secretly in his heart.
He knew the stakes very well, and a terrifying picture emerged in his mind:
If the opponent's Immortal Emperor-level master launches a sneak attack, the scene will be like an eagle catching chickens.
The Immortal Emperor only needed to lightly wave his sleeves and slap out a palm, and the power contained in it was like a surging torrent of destruction, which could instantly destroy a large number of cultivators into ashes.
By then, the city will be littered with corpses, a horrific sight.
Even if I try to stop it, it will be useless.
Gu Zhi frowned even tighter, his face full of worry.
When the enemy attacks, the scene will inevitably be chaotic. There are too many people. How can I save everyone in an instant?
Moreover, even if we are lucky and have the ability to kill the opponent's Immortal Emperor, the aftermath of the battle will be enough to cause a devastating disaster to the low-level cultivators in the city.
Their cultivation was still shallow, like fragile ants, and they had no power to resist at all in the face of such a powerful force.
"My Lord, you are truly very thoughtful!"
Gu Zhi's face was full of admiration, his eyes flashing with deep respect for Li Heizi.
"In this turbulent situation, every decision is a matter of life and death. Our Dark City's current strength pales in comparison to that of the human race. The human race, through the ages, has a foundation as profound as the boundless ocean, and its power as vast as the glittering stars in the vast sky. It has stood tall in the world of immortal cultivation for years, like an unshakable towering peak. Meanwhile, our Dark City is merely a rising star, a new, emerging force, like a new sprout beneath the rising sun. While we possess potential, we must remain discreet and cautious in our pursuit of survival in these turbulent times."
"That's right."
Li Heizi nodded slightly, his expression as solemn as the sky before a storm.
"The reason why the Humans and Demons can so freely capture the cities of the Japanese is because they have the capital. The Humans are like a well-trained and well-equipped army, their strength is unfathomable. And what about us? Our Anbu's current situation is truly bleak. Including the cultivators of the Wu Clan, our total combat strength is only 51. This may sound like a large number, but in the brutal struggle of the immortal cultivation world, it is like a small boat in the ocean—truly a bit weak. Moreover, the cultivation levels of our brothers vary greatly, with most still stuck in the Xuanxian realm."
Gu Zhi listened to Li Heizi's analysis, nodded slowly, and his mind became clearer about the current situation.
"That's true, Lord. Currently, we only have two Immortal Emperors in our Anbu: Gu Rui and I. This strength is truly insufficient when facing those powerful forces. Look at the human race, they have a considerable number of Immortal Emperors, like the brilliant stars in the night sky, reflecting each other and forming a powerful deterrent. That's why they have the confidence to capture the Wa cities without fear, while we have to proceed with caution."
Hearing this, Li Heizi nodded slowly and thoughtfully, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
"Senior Gu Zhi, I've recently gained some new insights and will likely be in seclusion for a while. I'll be grateful for your continued care and attention regarding all matters concerning the city."
Li Heizi said sincerely that he knew Gu Zhi's ability and loyalty very well, and he felt relieved to entrust the affairs of the city to him.
Gu Zhi looked solemn, nodded slightly and responded:
"Don't worry about that, Lord. I will do my utmost to protect Dark City and handle all matters. You can focus on your training in seclusion."
After saying this, Gu Zhi saw that Li Heizi was ready to go into seclusion, and knowing that seclusion was extremely important for cultivators and should not be disturbed, he said no more.
His body moved slightly, and a faint spiritual light appeared around him. Like a fleeting meteor in the night sky, he disappeared from the spot in an instant without leaving a trace.
