Chapter 831: Asking For Gifts 2 (2/2)

“Elder, those people have been scattered to…”

“I know that they have been scattered to the twelve peaks of Spirit Sword Mountain! You don’t need to remind me! But now, most of the elite forces of Nine Regions are concentrated in Spirit Sword Mountain, is there no one available?”

“People available… Elder, when the raid on the Southern Heaven Region failed that day, the army scattered and retreated, and many people were separated in other places. After that, there was no time to gather all of the armies on Spirit Sword Mountain. But, the external communication channel in the mountain is still there. Do you want me to call for their help?”

“Call for their help? So that they can also die here? I’m afraid that the reason why the Fallen Immortals are engaging in such a big battle is to lure others to come here, like the moths to fire, and finish everyone in one go! However, since the communication channel is still there, tell everyone in secret code this message: If you want to rescue Spirit Sword Mountain, use the tactic of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao. Go to the Southern Heaven Region to break the Against the World Dragon Pillar…”

“This is not a proper plan, please think thrice.”

“Lu Li? You’re finally back! Has the breach in Spirit Pond Peak been blocked?”

“I’m ashamed, the Immortal means are beyond my ability. A piercing cloud thrust the barrier on the Clouds and Mist Great Array, and even after I exhausted my ability, I couldn’t shake it. So… I have broken the Spirit Pond Peak and blown up the gap with the power of self-destruction.”

“Self-destruct the Spirit Pond Peak? Huh, you guys, Elders of Spirit Sword Sect, are courageous.”

“There’s no other choice… Elder, I suggest that you don’t let other people act rashly now. My brother and I have just counted the Fallen Immortals that appeared near Spirit Sword Mountain, which is two-thirds of their total. However, the most important thing is that the Immortal King has never appeared. Meaning, the Immortal World still has an expert on the backline. If there’re not enough strong cultivator leaders, I’m afraid rushing to the Southern Heaven Region is exactly what they want.”

“… Then what do you propose?”

“Now, we can only wait for Supreme Shifang to activate the Sky Tower again and try to get Wang Lu back.”

“Wang Lu… Yes, if that kid is here, how could we end up being so cornered like this! Cough-cough!”

“Elder, you should step down and have a rest first. Just now you were wounded after being struck by the Soul Breaking Palm outside Misty Peak, I’m afraid you will have to…”

“It doesn’t matter if there’s still internal injury, if we lose this battle, the entire Nine Regions will be gone. How would I, this old man, be able to live on my own? This time, I’ve already thrown caution to the wind, so what about a mere injury from the Soul Breaking Palm?… Lu Li, don’t worry about me. Go and support Shifang and activate the Sky Tower. As long as Wang Lu can come back, people in the frontline will not die in vain!”

“… Yes, Elder.”

——

“Report! Senior Immortal Xiaoyao has made his move, Golden King is defeated, and the Golden City has crashed on Clear Sky Peak!”

“What? Golden King lost? That’s too fast! How is Clear Sky Peak now?”

“Report, it has already been inserted into the mustard seed bag by Daoist Master Feng Yin, while Senior Immortal Xiaoyao has also been suppressed by them at the foot of Spirit Sword Mountain. But… I’m afraid it won’t last long.”

“Report Elder! The Death to Immortal Sword Array of Supreme Hetu is about to be broken! Xiang Lang, who holds the Extinguish Immortal Sword, was seriously injured by Senior Immortal Qingliu’s scheme and the Extinguish Immortal Sword is also missing!”

“Extinguish Immortal Sword is lost? What do the people of the Royal Soldier Sect eat? Pass my order to call Liu Li from the Kui Tree Array outside Carefree Peak and ask her to replace Xiang Liang. She has the Brilliant Sword Heart and should be able to find the Extinguish Immortal Sword in the chaos!”

“But, there will only be the pair of Immortal Beasts of Spirit Sword Sect left to guard the Kui Tree Array. With only two young Immortal Beasts there, I’m afraid…”

“Don’t worry about those two. One is the descendant of a mountain spirit and another one is the descendant of demon wolf. Their survivability in Spirit Sword Mountain is first-class. Tell them to explode the Kui Tree Array at the critical moment. Tell them not to hesitate even if because of this the flank of Clear Sky Peak is hit and pierced… If it doesn’t work, then the Clear Sky Peak will have to be entirely cut from the inner ring.”

“In that case, the power of Clouds and Mist Great Array will be greatly weakened!”

“Right now, lives are more important than arrays. Even if the Clouds and Mist Array is broken, as long as the Nine Regions Great Array is still there and can get the support of cultivators from all over the continent, we can still hold on for a while. Remember, our goal is not the Fallen Immortals with the resources at hand. We just need to persist until Wang Lu comes back.”

“But-but just now, there was news from the Stellar Peak that said the Sky Tower has been activated, but Wang Lu still couldn’t come back!”

“Still can’t? Why?”

“According to Daoist Master Shifang, the space barrier between the two worlds has been fortified, and Wang Lu can’t walk through it now…”

“Then increase the power output of the Sky Tower and make a hole in the barrier! If the output is not enough, then use human lives to fill it! With the blood sacrifice of several Yuanying or Deity Stage cultivators, how could the output of the Sky Tower not be increased for several times?”

“Huh? Blood sacrifice? Elder, this…”

“I know it’s an evil technique! But I also know that there are many evil cultivators who are fighting together with us on the frontline now! This is the battle of life and death! As long as we can win, we can pay any price!”

“Pay any price… just to bring Wang Lu back?”

“…Listen, the current situation is that, array is more important than resources, life is more important than array, and Wang Lu is more important than anyone else! As long as he can come back, sacrificing anyone is worth it! If you’re not willing, then this old man will lead you by example!”

“You should never do that! Elder, you are now in charge of the overall situation, we absolutely can’t lose you! I-I understand, I will go and deliver your order!”

“… Wang Lu, our side here has reached our limit, when will you actually come?”
