But immediately after that, trouble arose, problems with the excavation of the tunnel, and the whole project came to a standstill.

Qin Haoxuan's previous worries were right, there would definitely be problems in the tunnel.

The tunnel was excavated and the excavation was halted due to a hard rock formation.

According to the original estimate, it will only take less than half a year for the entire tunnel to be completely penetrated, but now it seems that this is no longer possible.

Qin Haoxuan's own feelings are getting stronger and stronger now, and he can clearly perceive that he only has ten months left.

After ten months, the entire defense line will be completely destroyed, which also means that the tunnel must be opened in these last ten months, otherwise everyone except Qin Haoxuan himself will have only a dead end.

Qin Haoxuan now not only wants to ensure that the tunnel must be broken through within ten months, he also has to ensure that the Immortal City can hold on for ten months, the two complement each other and are indispensable.

Qin Haoxuan took Qi Tan and Sun Yunfeng and walked quickly into the tower in the city, this tower was the center of the defense circle of the Immortal City, and the defense was very tight, and there were special disciples guarding here.

After entering the tower, the third senior sister and the fifth senior brother were waiting here, and Qin Haoxuan nodded at them.

I saw a token in the third senior sister's hand flashing, and a portal the size of three zhang square appeared on the wall on the side of the tower, and several people quickly entered it.

After entering, what catches your eye is a passage, the height is less than five meters, but the width is about twenty meters, the walls of the tunnel are installed around the glowing fluorite, and every 100 meters or so, on the walls on both sides, there is a magic circle, the function of this magic circle is to reinforce, prevent collapse.

Qin Haoxuan and a few people walked all the way along the passage, the further they went, the deeper they went, and after walking for about three miles, several people came to a huge hall, the length and width of the hall were about three hundred meters long, and the height was ten meters.

This hall was specially excavated by the Changsheng Gate, and there is one such hall every forty miles forward in the tunnel, which is a place to rest or repair when the disciples escape in the future.

Walking thousands of miles in a tunnel and not being able to fly can cause tremendous stress both mentally and mentally.

The group did not stop, and continued along the tunnel, passing four halls in a row, stopping in the fifth.

In this hall, there were seven or eight hundred Immortal Sect disciples who were busy, and the first thing Qin Haoxuan's eyes saw was the pale cyan rock mass not far away on the opposite side, it was obvious that it was this rock that was hindering the progress of the entire tunnel.

Seeing Qin Haoxuan's arrival, several old men put down the things in their hands and came closer.

"I've seen the Palm Order. ”

"Well, how is the situation. ”

"Still no, it's too slow, we're using other methods. ”

Several old men shook their heads.

Qin Haoxuan walked to the rock and touched it with his hand: "Is this thing so hard?"

"Palm order, yes. ”

A flying sword appeared in Qin Haoxuan's hand, and then stabbed towards the rock, only to find that it was only half a foot pierced.

"Hey, so hard. ”

"Can you get around?"

"We are digging to the left and right, and even below, to see if we can go around, we can't dig up, if the depth is not enough, Shura will monitor it, now we have dug two miles on the left and right, and we have just dug less than one mile below, and we still haven't found a position that can be bypassed. ”

"It's too slow. ”

Qin Haoxuan frowned tightly.

A few people behind him were also at a loss.

"Can you estimate the size of this rock?"

"Back to the palm order, before we came, we had been exploring the ground for more than ten days, and then finally determined this route, it stands to reason that this kind of rock should not have appeared here, this kind of rock we know, the world calls it laquarite, as the name suggests it is only distributed in coastal areas, it should not appear in this at all. ”

"Since this rock shouldn't be here, we think it's an isolated case, and it shouldn't be too big. ”

"So, you still tend to get around it, don't you?"

"Yes, we want to get around it, it's estimated that we can get around it for about fifty miles at most, and we're already starting now. ”

Qin Haoxuan said to Qi Tan and the others who were standing beside him: "We can't drag it out, let's do it too." ”

"Coming directly by force?"

"This flying sword can't be cut, how can you do it. ”

Qi Tan wondered if his own command was crazy.

"Ahem, Senior Brother Qi, the meaning of the order is on the left and right, as well as below, not for us to deal with the sea bluestone. ”

Sun Yunfeng couldn't laugh or cry.

"Oh, yes, hehe, I thought I was going to deal with the stone. ”

Qi Tan was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

"Senior Brother Qi, you and Senior Sister Ji are in charge of the left, Senior Brother Sun, Senior Brother Liu, you two are in charge of the right, and I will be in charge of the below. ”

"You arrange for people to continue digging, and we will give you a hand and cooperate with each other, and the speed will be faster. Qin Haoxuan finally said.

Is it really good for the Great Monk of the Hedao Realm to do the work of digging holes?

But it must be admitted that the efficiency is really high,

In the next fifty days, as soon as the attack of the Shura was over every day, Qin Haoxuan would bring a few senior brothers to help in the tunnel.

Finally one night, Liu Dong happily ran over to tell Qin Haoxuan that they had succeeded.

Qin Haoxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart was finally put down, and there were still eight months before the final time node.

In order to ensure that the tunnel could be opened within eight months, Qin Haoxuan planned to continue to bring his senior brothers to help every day in order to speed up the progress.

It's a pity that the changes in Shura made Qin Haoxuan's idea completely frustrated.

The Shura were crazy, and Qin Haoxuan could only use this word to describe them.

What was originally an attack once a day suddenly became twice a day, and the defensive pressure of the entire Immortal City doubled sharply.

The normal rotation is gone, all the monks are involved in the defense, and they can only rest for a few hours between Shura's attacks.

Even Qin Haoxuan himself now has to face the direct harassment of the two Blood Shura at the same time every day, and he is not idle at all.

In addition to the supply of the disciples of the Immortal Sect in the Immortal City, there were almost no pills and spirit stones left of the monks of other sects, and these sects asked Qin Haoxuan for help, which made Qin Haoxuan anxious for a while.

At the same time, in just five or six days, four more cities were captured one after another, and the monks in these four cities did not even have time to retreat, which was equivalent to the total annihilation of the army, and only about a few thousand of the nearly 70,000 monks escaped through the teleportation array.

Qin Haoxuan could even imagine the scene when they were fighting for the teleportation array in order to escape for their lives.

The atmosphere in the city was becoming more and more depressing, and the morale was getting more and more low, and Qin Haoxuan estimated that at least half of the monks had now completely lost confidence.

Qin Haoxuan knew very well in his heart that once the monks in the city completely lost their confidence, the Immortal City would not be able to defend it.

In desperation, Qin Haoxuan had no choice but to contact Fang Ti Ancestor, and the two exchanged ideas, and Qin Haoxuan was a little relieved after learning some news.

"Ginger is still old and spicy. ”

Qin Haoxuan had to admire the ancestors, the people he didn't expect had already thought of it, and they had already had a countermeasure.

When all the monks in Immortal City received the announcement of the alliance the next day, Qin Haoxuan knew that it was the ancestors who were behind the scenes.

The alliance officially issued a notice that among the remaining twenty-two cities on the defense line, except for the cities of the seven major sects, all the other cities will be abandoned.

The monks stationed in these cities will all retreat to the seven main cities, and the Immortal Gate will be responsible for receiving the monks from three of them.

Later, the alliance issued a notice saying that the alliance had found a way to break the defensive barrier, but it would take a lot of preparation to break the barrier, and the alliance would take at least eight months.

Therefore, the alliance demanded that all the monks on the defensive line ensure that they hold out for eight months in order to create time for the alliance.

In the next few days, the entire Immortal City became a sea of monks, and the originally small city was full of monks, and the entire Immortal City was suddenly in chaos, and this situation lasted for seven or eight days before returning to normal.

At this moment, 110,000 monks had gathered in the Immortal City, nearly twice as many as before.

Among them, there were sixty-three Hedao Realm monks who retreated to Immortal City, so that the number of Hedao Realm monks in the city became ninety-three.

After learning that the alliance finally had a solution, the morale of the monks in the city finally rose, as everyone saw hope again.

Under Qin Haoxuan's organization, all the monks in the city were redistributed again, and these retreating monks had experienced countless battles and were experienced, they didn't need to adapt at all, they could directly participate in the battle.

In this way, the defensive pressure of Immortal City was much smaller than before.

After being busy for a few days, Qin Haoxuan was free in the main hall of the city and officially invited representatives of the thirteen sects to attend the meeting.

The thirteen monks of the Combined Dao Realm represent the thirteen largest sects in the city, except for the Immortal Sect.

After greeting each other, Qin Haoxuan cut straight to the point.

"I have gathered you here today because I have a very important thing to tell you. ”

"Before I talk about this, I would like to remind you here that we need to keep this matter strictly confidential. ”

After the representatives of the families present agreed one after another, Qin Haoxuan informed them about the construction of the tunnel at the Changshengmen.

After Qin Haoxuan finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of "surprise" in the hall.

"Soon after the appearance of the Shura's defensive barrier, we at the Immortal Sect began to implement this plan. ”

Qin Haoxuan ignored their reactions and continued.

"That's a lot of money. ”

"You Immortal Gate, do you know in advance that the barrier can't be broken?"

Questions were raised.

"It's not that we know that the barrier can't be broken, it's that we in the Immortal Sect have always been prepared with both hands. ”

"To be more accurate, we in the Immortal Sect have always had a backup plan to do things, do you understand what I said," Qin Haoxuan unceremoniously retorted.

Everyone in the room looked at each other.

Is this the gap between it and the big sects?
