Free Web NovelChapter 508: Chapter 505: Feng Qing’s Plot
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Tens of thousands of Abyssal Demons, wave after wave, fearlessly slammed into the Pocket World Protection Umbrella.
Although they couldn’t use Mental Realms like Cultivators, nor did they have Grotto Heavens to aid them, their numbers were vast, their bodies were powerful, and they were utterly frenzied.
As they launched one assault after another, the people in the valley were in indescribable misery.
Maintaining the Grotto Heavens required not only True Essence but was also a burden on one’s mind and soul.
The mental and spiritual fatigue was more than ten times more palpable than physical exhaustion, making it sheer torture for everyone.
Many were already drained and on the verge of collapse. freewebnovel.cσ๓
"Feng Qing, this can’t go on. We’re all going to die here!" a young man in a straw hat said to Feng Qing via voice transmission.
At this moment, the crowd in the valley was clearly divided into two factions, one in front and one in back.
One was led by Feng Qing, the other by the young man in the straw hat.
"Dai Zhen, what do you have in mind?" Feng Qing replied via voice transmission, his expression unchanging.
"At this point, I don’t want to waste words. How about the two of us work together to escape?"
Feng Qing was noncommittal. Instead, he asked, "What about my companions?"
Dai Zhen sneered. "Listen, Feng. We’ve fought for so many years, you think I don’t know what you’re really like? Is there any need to act like a Saint in front of me?"
"Don’t think I’m unaware. Your Feng Family has a sacrificial Secret Technique that allows you to sacrifice others in exchange for immense power."
"And these companions of yours... they’re the ones you’re planning to sacrifice, aren’t they?"
Feng Qing didn’t speak, but his expression had turned extremely ugly.
Dai Zhen had clearly hit a nerve.
"Feng Qing, look around you. There are probably over a hundred thousand of those Demons, with powerful Demon Beasts mixed in. Your Feng Family’s Secret Technique might be formidable, but are you really confident you can escape alone?"
Dai Zhen paused, then added, "But if you work with me, I can guarantee we’ll escape safely, one hundred percent!"
Feng Qing still said nothing.
"Based on the current trend, the Pocket World Protection Umbrella can only hold for another hour at most. You’d better make a decision quickly." With that, Dai Zhen fell silent.
Feng Qing was silent for a long moment. He had to admit Dai Zhen was right.
If he acted alone, even with the support of his Secret Technique, his chances of escape were less than fifty percent.
"Why should I trust you? Show me some sincerity!" Feng Qing sent to Dai Zhen via voice transmission.
"Heh heh." Dai Zhen chuckled lightly.
Even through the straw hat, Feng Qing could feel Dai Zhen’s mocking gaze.
"I have a Half-Immortal Level Flying Shuttle. My Cultivation isn’t enough to unleash its full power, but with your Secret Technique, you can. How’s that for sincerity? Are you satisfied?" Dai Zhen said.
"Fine, I agree to cooperate!"
A Half-Immortal Level Flying Shuttle... if he could fully activate it, he could escape this predicament in an instant. Feng Qing had no reason to refuse.
While Feng Qing and Dai Zhen were secretly discussing the details of their cooperation, in an inconspicuous corner of the crowd, Gu Peng was also explaining something to Mo Qi via voice transmission.
"That tall, thin guy with the fine eyebrows is Feng Qing, the second young master of our Yunfeng City’s City Lord’s Mansion. His talent is extraordinary and his strength is immense. He’s only in his early forties and already has Mid-stage Void Realm Cultivation."
"The one in the straw hat is Dai Zhen, the Young Master of Tiejiang Fort. His strength is on par with Feng Qing’s. They’re rivals and have been fighting for many years."
At this point, Gu Peng sighed lightly, his tone full of envy. "Now *they’re* the real geniuses!"
Mo Qi pursed his lips. ’A forty-year-old in the Void Realm is considered a genius?’
’Then what does that make Liu Ruyan, who reached the Void Realm at fifteen?’
’Even my former enemy, Huangfu Yu, was far more outstanding than these so-called geniuses, Feng Qing and Dai Zhen.’ fгeewebnovёl.com
"Brother Gu, there’s no need to envy them. Your future accomplishments will surpass theirs by a wide margin," Mo Qi said with a smile, patting Gu Peng’s shoulder.
Gu Peng just shook his head and gave a wry smile, assuming Mo Qi was just trying to comfort him.
He didn’t dwell on the issue. There was something else he wanted to know more.
"Brother Mo, why did we come in here?"
Mo Qi rubbed his chin. "If I said I came to extort every last bit of wealth from all of them, would you believe me?"
Gu Peng froze for a moment, then laughed dryly. "Brother Mo, you have to be joking."
’Extort everyone here of all their wealth, in a situation like this?’
’That’s completely absurd!’
"Haha, you’ll see when the time comes. For now, you just need to be clear on one thing: I’m your cousin, Qian Duoduo," Mo Qi said with a laugh.
Gu Peng was completely confused, but he nodded anyway.
Just then, Feng Qing and Dai Zhen finished their discussion, having reached an agreement.
"Everyone, listen to me!" Feng Qing stepped forward.
All eyes immediately focused on him.
"I’m sure everyone is aware of our predicament. We can’t hold on for much longer. In another hour, at most, we will all perish here."
As Feng Qing spoke these words, everyone’s morale plummeted. Even the light from the Pocket World Protection Umbrella seemed to dim.
"What do we do? I don’t want to die!"
"I just came out with my brother to see the world! How could this happen?"
"I’m still young! I have a great future ahead of me! I don’t want to die here!"
"My fiancée is waiting for me outside! I can’t die!"
"I’m the most talented Alchemy Master in my family! I... why was I so curious? Why did I have to enter the Desperate Mountain Range?!"
"I regret it! I regret ever coming here!"
Many in the crowd were on the verge of an emotional breakdown. As members of the North District Envoy Hall under the Divine Master Valley, most of them were Alchemy Masters and Artifact Refiners.
They rarely went out to train and had almost never encountered real danger.
Faced with a scene like this, they were completely panicked and at a loss for what to do.
Seeing that the atmosphere was ripe, Dai Zhen spoke at the opportune moment. "Feng Qing, since you’ve said all this, you must have a solution, right?"
Hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up as if they had just grasped a final lifeline.
That’s right!
Since Feng Qing stepped forward at a time like this, he must have a plan!
Feng Qing sighed. "I wouldn’t call it a solution, but we can extend the duration of the Pocket World Protection Umbrella. However, I’ll need your help."
Dai Zhen immediately picked up the thread. "Extending the time is good enough! With all the commotion we’re making, someone outside the valley is bound to notice. When they bring reinforcements, we’ll be saved!"
The crowd first fell into a dead silence, which was then broken by a massive cheer.
"Young Master Feng Qing, just tell us what we need to do! As long as we can extend the time, we’ll cooperate with all our might!"
"That’s right, Young Master Feng Qing! We’ll all listen to you!"
"Please give the order, Young Master Feng Qing!"
Everyone’s hopeful gazes focused on Feng Qing.
In that moment, Feng Qing was the savior in their eyes!
