Qian Jue glanced at Yan Jie and said, "I am patrolling Linshan City on behalf of my father. How can I make the people unable to escape by themselves? If I escape today, what will I have in the future to face my father? Facing the people of Nanyue?"

Yan Jie suddenly felt awe.

At first he was dissatisfied with Qian Jue and felt that she was indifferent to the people's experience. At this point, Qian Jue had already saved the determination to die with the city.

Although Qian Jue is a woman, his actions are enough to make the monks who fled in panic ashamed! Yan Jie nodded, stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I won't leave!"

Qian Jue looked at Yan Jie in surprise and asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

In her impression, monks have always cherished their lives the most. Never heard of any monk who sacrificed their lives for an illusory belief. Moreover, the higher the cultivation level, the more afraid of death. Yan Jie had just made a breakthrough and was about to be in high spirits, how could he make such a choice?

Yan Jie smiled and said, "You are the princess of the royal family! Even you are not afraid of death, what else am I afraid of?"

Qian Jue looked at Yan Jie, a light flashed in his eyes and said, "Stinky Taoist, I have begun to appreciate you a little! Are you doing this to practice what you said?"

Yan Jie nodded and said, "Everyone is like a dragon!"

Qian Jue bit his lip and said, "I used to think you were talking nonsense, but now, I believe it a little!"

Qian Jue bit his red lips and looked charming. The two lived in the same room at night. Although Qian Jue was dressed in men's clothes, Yan Jie's face turned red and his heart beat, and he couldn't help but become restless.

He took a deep breath, used his mysterious skills silently, and finally gave up the thoughts in his heart. Then he said to Qian Jue: "I chose to stay, but I am not completely selfish..."

"Oh?" Qian Jue looked at Yan Jie in confusion.

"Did you forget? I took over Shen Mi's mission. The temptation to enter the Tianji Academy is too great for a cultivator on the fourth level of Qi Refining! Although I have to take some risks, I always have to fight!"

Even though he knows that he will die, he will get involved? What a selfish thing! When is this stinky Taoist priest still going to be cool!

"Okay," Qian Jue gave Yan Jie a blank look and said, "Whether you are selfish or public, this princess will accept your love this time!"

Qian Jue said nothing more and turned around and walked out of the room.

After Qian Jue left, Yan Jie was not idle either. Time was tight, so he had to seize the time to evaluate the situation in Linshan City and determine his ideas for defending the city as soon as possible.

Although all the monks in Linshan City have evacuated, making the defense power in the city empty. However, in Yan Jie's view, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. For Linshan City, the evacuation of monks is generally more beneficial than disadvantages.

After all, Yan Jie is just a Qi Refining Cultivator. Even if he breaks through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, he cannot compare with the monks stationed in Linshan City. No matter how the situation develops, he can only be a supporting role, and it is impossible for him to give orders.

But now it’s different. Only Yan Jie is the monk in Linshan City. If he wants to implement his plan, the resistance will be much smaller.

Although the evacuation of the monk weakens the defensive power, the foundation-building monk has no effect at all when facing the Demon Lord. The strength of the two sides is huge, and it cannot be smoothed out by a few more monks.

Relatively speaking, Yan Jie's formation can be of great use. As long as the formation is clever and suitable tools are used, mortals can also exert great combat power.

Yan Jie took out a blank jade slip and used all the computing power of the "turtle mirror" to make a grand plan to guard the city gradually appear in a cone shape...

After Qian Jue returned to his room, he did not rest, but asked someone to invite County Magistrate Zhu, and the two discussed the next city defense matters again.

"What? Lord Censor, do you want to make the truth public? How can this be..." County Magistrate Zhu was deeply uneasy about Qian Jue's plan. The current situation in Linshan City was like a pile of dry firewood, and any spark could burn. What the Censor wants to do now is to put a fire on this pile of dry firewood!

The magistrate Zhu acted in a straightforward manner, not caring about the disparity between the positions of the two sides, and retorted in person: "Have you considered it? Once the news spreads, the whole city will panic and the people will be in trouble. How can the situation be fixed at that time?"

Qian Jue smiled disapprovingly. County Magistrate Zhu was upright and unfair to do things, and was indeed a good official. However, he had never experienced such a life-and-death matter. When he suddenly changed, he still used conventional means to deal with emergencies, but he often backfired.

When is this now? The Demon Lord will take action against Linshan City before he can leave for ten months. This is the exact news given by the Skeleton Woman. At this time, he is still only concerned about blocking the news to the people. Isn’t that just deceiving himself?

Qian Jue explained patiently: "Mr. Zhu's worries make sense. In fact, I also think that open-minded public relations will cause panic in the city and the people will be in trouble. However, as long as we survive this difficulty, the people will naturally understand that because they have no way out. Only by standing with the court can we have a way out. If we do a good job of publicity and reduce the time for the people to panic, we can mobilize enough forces to arrange the city defense. On the contrary, continuing to block the news is equivalent to missing the opportunity. When the Demon Lord takes action, the people are unprepared, and the consequences will only be more serious at that time! In extraordinary times, the two evils are the least. Magistrate Zhu, it is time to make a decision!"

In fact, this principle is very clear, and County Magistrate Zhu is not unaware of it. He just doesn't want to face the panicked and helpless eyes of the people.

Now that Qian Jue, the "Censor" is in charge of the overall situation, the situation has indeed reached the point where it is necessary to make a choice, and it cannot be delayed any longer.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Zhu looked puzzled and said, "The officials here are naturally clear about the interests of the people. However, everything must be prepared. As the master said, once this matter is leaked, it is likely to cause riots. However, there are only about twenty yamen runners who can use in Linshan City. With this little power, once an accident occurs in the city and the government cannot suppress it, it will immediately be in chaos!"

Qian Jue frowned and said nothing. County Magistrate Zhu's worries are reasonable. This is indeed a very difficult problem. Once the truth is chosen to be revealed, the panic must be calmed in the shortest time. If it is delayed for too long, it will give the Demon Lord an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Seeing Qian Jue frowned, County Magistrate Zhu sighed and said, "Oh, it's a pity that all the immortals of Tianji Sect retreated last night. Otherwise, there might be room for improvement. What these immortals said was much more effective than the government. In front of them, even the patriarchs of the five major families would not dare to speak loudly..."

County Magistrate Zhu's words made Qian Jue's eyes lit up. Isn't he just a monk? There is one in his current achievements!

Although Yan Jie's cultivation is a little lower, it is okay to scare the nobles of these aristocrats in the city! As long as you convince these big families in the city, the subsequent things will be easier!
