Chapter 2418 Commitment
Sensing something, the real immortals were at a loss. Many people left their original positions, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
"Stop arguing and focus on defense!"
You Chongzhi shouted loudly, trying his best to maintain order, "Those who leave their positions without authorization will be severely punished!"
The intimidation of the Golden Immortal had its effect, and the True Immortals gradually became quiet, but it was only quiet on the surface. There was still fear in their eyes. Many people looked up at the protective shield, thinking secretly.
"Brother Dao, what should I do? This can't go on like this!"
You Chongzhi looked at Zhou Shu, his expression still firm, but he couldn't hide the panic in his heart.
That was the most terrifying reverse tide in the locust tide, and it was impossible to withstand it after it crossed the border.
Zhou Shu stared into the distance and said slowly, "There are still more than two hours until the reverse tide reaches Sanchui Realm and Linxing Realm. These two realms are about the same distance from the latter realm. One to the left and one to the right. They can weaken the reverse tide. The intensity and speed of the tide mean that the time for crossing the boundary after the arrival of the reverse tide should be five hours later."
You Chongzhi seemed thoughtful, "Oh, there are still five hours to prepare."
Zhou Shu nodded with a calm expression, "Although the current has weakened a bit, the reverse tide that crossed the boundary after the impact is also very strong. At least billions of plankton will roll back, and they will collide with the locust tide behind. A large tidal wave is formed and then stays near the border crossing, which lasts for a long time. It is estimated that the locust tide will completely return to normal after two to three days."
You Chongzhi's heart palpitated, as if something was holding his heart. He was stunned for a while, "It's almost over, and there's a reverse tide. It's really hateful!"
"yes."
Zhou Shu said calmly, "I estimate that in those two or three days, there were almost 400,000 planktonic beasts that could attack and cross the border at the same time. If such an attack intensity continues for two or three days, it is impossible to defend in our situation. In fact, Well, it will collapse in less than half an hour."
Listening to Zhou Shu's analysis, You Chongzhi's eyes gradually lost their luster, and he said feebly, "Nike Juan Tide, what can I do?"
Zhou Shu said slowly, "It's time to give up."
You Chongzhi looked at Zhou Shu and said softly "Ah". He must have expected this moment.
"At this point, it's impossible to let so many true immortals die in vain."
Zhou Shu smiled faintly and said, "There are still five hours. Now you can take them around and leave. They will have time to avoid the reverse tide. Send the order quickly."
You Chongzhi composed himself and sighed, "This is the only way to do it, but Brother Dao..."
Zhou Shu looked calm, "What?"
You Chongzhi hesitated for a moment, "I won't give up after holding on until now. It's just... Brother Tao, this is a last resort. There will definitely be another chance in the future."
Zhou Shu smiled slightly, "Of course, hurry up and give the order, don't waste time talking nonsense, and inform them that I will give them the rewards for crossing the line after guarding, so don't worry."
You Chongzhi nodded, flew into the sky, and declared loudly.
Zhou Shu turned around, looked at the still calm furnace, and shook his head slightly, with a lot of reluctance in his eyes, and the determination that had never been less.
"Fourth Young Master You is so wise!"
"With the Fourth Young Master here, we can definitely avoid the reverse tide!"
"Hurry up and sort it out, stop talking nonsense!"
After hearing You Chongzhi's order, the True Immortals felt relieved, cheered a few times, and began to prepare to retreat.
In the past, they defended with all their strength because there was hope of winning, but now there is no hope at all. The reverse tide is right in front of them, and they have already crossed the line to the point of being hopeless. Even if You Chongzhi insists on defending, they will definitely leave.
After a while, the real immortals all flew near the gap and were ready to go.
You Chongzhi looked down, paused for a moment, and rushed down quickly, "Brother Dao Zhou, why don't you leave?"
"I-I didn't say I wanted to leave?"
Zhou Shu smiled slightly, "Master Ou Ting is still here. Of course I want to be with him. When does he stop, I will leave."
"Brother Dao, can't you persuade him to stop forging swords and leave now? The situation has become like this!"
You Chongzhi's face turned red and he said anxiously, "If he doesn't stop, are you going to wait here all the time? Isn't this going to kill you!"
"Um."
Zhou Shu nodded seriously, with a calm look on his face, "Master Ou Ting is still making swords for me, and I have promised him to protect him to the end, so I have no reason to interrupt him before he gives up making swords, let alone It’s impossible to leave alone.”
When a swordsmith is forging a sword, he will not stop unless he dies.
Now that Ou Ting is still forging swords, Zhou Shu goes to persuade him to give up?
impossible.
Recasting Zihen is Ou Ting's promise to the sword to him, and guarding and crossing the line is his promise to Ou Ting. Ou Ting has not given up, how could he say to give up first? That is an insult to a sword master, and it is also an insult to himself. The betrayal of the heart.
If you can't give up or leave Ou Ting behind, you can only wait.
This was the only choice he wanted to make. If the locust tide was destroyed and then crossed the border, Ou Ting would be forced to stop even if he didn't want to. At that time, it would not be too late for Zhou Shu to take Ou Ting away.
"Then I'll stay too!"
You Chongzhi looked at Zhou Shu and made a decision without thinking.
"you are too naive."
Zhou Shu looked indifferent and said calmly, "You are a golden immortal and you are not afraid of death, but what about those true immortals? Without your guidance, can they escape the locust tide safely? If these true immortals died because of you and me, What will happen to Bai Yujing, and what will happen to Youjia? Do you remember what you said before you came, right?"
These few questions made You Chongzhi's heart tighten. He clenched his fists and trembled slightly.
Although most of these people came here voluntarily, if they really all died because of guarding and crossing the border, how should he deal with it? More than two thousand true immortals! With his pure nature, there is no way he would give up on them.
Not to mention, the blame will definitely fall on Youjia in the end. How will Youjia deal with himself then?
Even if he wanted to stay, he knew he couldn't.
"This is not your business alone. It's not time to be willful. They all need you, and Youjia doesn't want to see it either."
Zhou Shu looked at him and said warmly, "Chongzhi, do your own thing. I don't have to worry at all. I'll see you in Crescent City then."
You Chongzhi composed himself, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Dao, I will take them back first, and then come to you."
Before Zhou Shu could speak, he quickly flew up and gave orders loudly.
"The team is guarding outside, and the other true immortals are inside!"
"Keep your formation!"
"retreat!"
The true immortals passed through the gap in an orderly manner, flew into the distance, and soon disappeared.
After a few months of turmoil, only Zhou Shu and Ou Ting are left, as well as a lot of puppets.
"It's so quiet."
Zhou Shu smiled slightly, seeming a little lonely.
The fire in the furnace behind him was still shining, and it seemed no different from a few months ago.
