Chapter 1044 (1/2)

It wasn't just this one elder that was against Dan Teng's idea Multiple others frowned at the thought Just looking at the faces of half of the

“Everybody,” Dan Teng preluded, “our clan is up against an unprecedented level of danger Aour clan In a time like this, material possessions are inherently useless What is the point of these pills if we don't use them? That pill…and the other heirloo Haven't they been stored away for a time like this when our clan is in a crisis?”

“Your words have merit, but the pills passed doithin our clan were ive them to an outsider?

“Our ene this pill, would our clan head or the previous head not be the best choice? The both of thes They could perhaps become Soul Emperor if they borrow the pill's power! And if they don't, then we can at least be safe knoe have a Half-eht off theirs!”

“That is true,” Dan Teng nodded, “But what about Bai Yunfei? If we cannot save him then on't be able to use the Core Stone What e do about our clansmen and the civilians? Will a Half-emperor or even a Soul Emperor be able to protect the entire city? We were able to see how strong our enemies were today, but what about the future? How many more enemies will show up? If a Soul Emperor shows up…or even a Half-emperor…e do then?”

“We…” Protested the saer methods than what they showed today, wouldn't they have used it?”

“Perhaps they are afraid of so and decided to save it for later? The three allied schools are extremely powerful It is without a doubt that each of the three has sorets if ait for the just had to sigh at the hesitance on everyone's faces He knew thetheir treasured heirlooms to an 'outsider' It was a choice he wished he didn't have to make, but it had to be done

“Wuchen, you are the clan head What do you think we should do?” He asked Yao Wuchen Asking the elders for their thoughts was pointless It would only serve to give the's idea

Everyone turned at once to Yao Wuchen Dan Teng was right Yao Wuchen was the current head of the clan and thus the ulti factor in any choice to make The elders would coree

“I…” Yao Wuchen looked uncoh he had been clan head for the last few years, he never had to deal with a conundru choice here could possibly spell doom for the clan

It was almost inevitable that Yao Wuchen turned to look to his father by his side

Compared to everyone else in the hall, Yao Tianji looked rather calle word until now, as the proble even he had to think for a while before answering Once he saw Yao Wuchen look his way, the father sht, you are the head of the clan The usage of our heirlooms is up to you to decide Follohat's in your heart to make the decision I have faith in your choice…”

A little numb, Yao Wuchen nodded at his father's state with renewed determination “Seventh uncle, do…do you really believe Bai Yunfei is worth investing so heavily in?”

“I do!” Dan Teng replied at once and with utter conviction

“Very well then! I'll choose to believe you, seventh uncle! If you have so much confidence in this Bai Yunfei, then I'll believe in him too!” Yao Wuchen boomed

“The hopes of our clan will rest upon Bai Yunfei's shoulders!”

“It's useless, we can't even send any soulforce into his body to treat hi about, of course it'll be difficult to reine how it got to be this bad to begin with…just what is that strange energy protecting his soul?

“You've been gone for three years, was it because you lost your e to make it here to these heaven-forsaken lands and live for three years?

“But that doesn't ht you were dead these past three years There's only a few that believe you to be alive; hell, they're still looking for you…and they were right I'll have to let them know…

“Maybe I should call the School, I'reat help in this case too then…”

“No no…it's too dangerous I can't leave right now I have toSchool will decide to attack the Yao clan again? If anything, I have to make sure I protect hie to his soul? Is it even possible to treat it?

“I can't think that way This is the legendary Alchemy School! They have to have so said he'd treat him, so there has to be a chance!
