Chapter 1739 - 1738: Qi Ling, Light Rain, Destiny!
Everyone looked at Long Ju Wan Jun.
Wan Jun scanned the crowd and said, "Next, we need to organize a ’Suicide Squad’! At the cost of life, escort the main force to the destination! Given the current difficulties, this Suicide Squad may need fifty thousand people!"
With that said.
Everyone fell silent.
In this situation, even if fifty thousand people were to sacrifice themselves, it might not truly ensure the main force reaches the destination.
There are too many alien beasts!
Moreover, a considerable number of these people joined after the battle of Lake City.
No one wants to become cannon fodder right away.
Seeing the situation, Wan Jun raised his hand again and said, "I’ll be the first to volunteer, who is willing to join me!"
At this moment.
Qi Ling held his hand down and said, "No, there’s no need for a Suicide Squad. We absolutely mustn’t sacrifice manpower here, or it will have a huge impact on the entire Great Formation."
That was indeed the case.
Old Lady Liang had said before, from a timing perspective, there was no longer any need to activate the ’Qiankun Transfer Array’ as there simply wasn’t enough time.
It was Qin Feng who had enough manpower and enough Spirit Stones, thereby speeding up the operation of the Array.
If we lose people here, the corresponding rest of the Four Great Armies outside will also have to reduce some people, maintaining the balance of the number in the Five Elements Immortal Power Army.
If fifty thousand people were lost here, at least two hundred fifty thousand would be unable to participate in activating the Array.
Whether the Array can be activated before calamity arrives would then become a serious issue.
"Leave it to me, let me escort everyone to the destination!"
At this moment, Qi Ling said with furrowed brows.
"No, it’s impossible. How can you alone escort one hundred fifty thousand people? We should still choose a middle ground..." Wan Jun suggested.
"No, I can!"
Qi Ling’s expression was serious.
Then.
She took out a piece of white jade.
The white jade was carved with strange and mysterious patterns, clearly holding immense power within it.
Wan Jun saw it, his eyes widened in shock and said, "You intend to... No, absolutely not!! It’s just the beginning. If you use the ’Heavenly Destiny Jade Pendant’ now, you’ll die here!!"
"If I die, it’s better than fifty thousand dying."
Qi Ling surveyed the crowd and said, "You must survive, or reach the destination to complete the Array’s operation! You are... the hope of the whole world! I beg you!!"
After speaking, she deeply bowed to the one hundred fifty thousand people!!
The crowd, seeing this, also felt deeply moved one by one.
They knew the Hua Country Yanhuang Bureau had always focused on saving the world, showing selflessness and courage.
Now, the Deputy Director of Yanhuang Bureau, such an important person, was willing to sacrifice for the completion of the Array. It truly brought tears to their eyes.
Wan Jun still wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
Qi Ling gently squeezed her fingers.
The white jade pendant shattered instantly.
Immediately after.
A stream of white power light flowed from the white jade pendant and entered her body bit by bit.
Her body instantly emitted a dazzling white light.
"Is this the legendary ’Heavenly Destiny Stone’?" someone in the crowd murmured in awe.
They felt the aura emanating from Qi Ling was extremely intense, and to their astonishment, they felt it could be absorbed for their own use!
To put it simply.
At this moment, Qi Ling was like a piece of delicious Tang Seng’s Meat.
It seemed that eating a piece could make one immortal.
"The Heavenly Destiny Stone, a treasured relic of the Buddhist sect, it’s unexpected that it has such great power used on her..." someone from the second tier of the Dharma Slaughter world said, looking at the radiant light emanating from Qi Ling, in awe.
"Next, it’s up to you!!"
Qi Ling said.
She soared into the air, like an angel in the night.
Then.
She clasped her hands in a Hand Formation and shouted, "Light Rain, Heavenly Destiny!!"
Swish!!
Centered on her, a vast Light Rain erupted immediately!
The raindrops of energy light fell on everyone, and they instantly felt their strength, speed, and agility doubled!
As the Light Rain grew larger and larger.
They felt the power within them grow stronger too!
"It’s unbelievable to enhance the strength of as many as one hundred fifty thousand people so significantly in an instant!" Liu Li from Xinghua Gully said, shocked.
"This is the power of the ’Heavenly Destiny Stone’ fully activated at the cost of burning her Life Force. In a way, those ’Light Rain’ are like her blood..."
Long Ju’s Wan Jun sighed.
At this time.
The alien beasts covering the hillside also noticed them, especially smelling the rich Spiritual Energy aura here, drooling greedily and charging madly this way.
The earth was trembling!
"It’s up to you now!"
Qi Ling solemnly urged the crowd once again.
With that said.
She turned mid-air towards the overwhelming beast horde and then directly flew into the midst of the beast horde!!
Originally, the alien beasts charging towards the one hundred fifty thousand people, went crazy smelling her aura, frantically chasing after her.
For a moment.
The alien beasts here were few and far between.
"Everyone listen up, follow me forward! Don’t linger in battle!! Reach the peak of Vine Dragon Mountain as fast as possible!!"
Long Ju Wan Jun shouted loudly.
Then.
Those who had absorbed Qi Ling’s Heavenly Destiny Stone’s power began to frantically follow Wan Jun forward.
Along the way, there were also some new alien beasts appearing; fortunately, they were not many, and they were directly exterminated as they continued to advance rapidly.
Qi Ling always stayed ahead of them, maintaining a distance to ensure she attracted the alien beasts targeting them. At this moment, the beasts chasing her were like ten thousand wild oxen chasing a rabbit, in enormous numbers, putting her in extreme danger. A slight misstep would result in being completely engulfed by the beast horde.
Not far away.
The people fighting within the inner world of the beast horde were grumbling, "Strange, why are there more alien beasts these past two days? If this continues, it will greatly affect us."
"Who’s to say otherwise, wasn’t it said that they have jointly refined a treasure replacing the Holy Daughter Dragon Stone to suppress the Time-Space Rift?"
"Apparently someone saw that Holy Daughter forcefully break in and went into the Time-Space Rift, which led to this. I don’t really know the details. All I know is, once it’s dawn and we’re free from fighting, we must drive them out. Only then can we conform to our plan and gradually make the Lower Realm into our ’Mutant Beast Garden’, using it to slowly enhance our cultivation."
"Yes, once morning comes and the alien beasts retreat, we gather all our forces and destroy them all at once!"
"..."
Several people conversed while fighting the beasts.
At this time.
They heard the trembling sound of the Great Formation.
Looking up.
They saw with shock Qi Ling, glowing brilliantly all over, attracting the overwhelming beast horde towards the highest peak of Vine Dragon Mountain.
