Chapter 776: 770. Using ’遮天楼’ to counter 遮天楼 "So, you’re saying, we don’t have much time left?"
Wen Ping looked at Chen Xie.
Chen Xie nodded, acknowledging this unpleasant fact.
Wen Ping then turned to He Nian, saying solemnly, "He Nian, share your thoughts."
He Nian was taken aback.
Everyone’s eyes also focused on He Nian.
He Nian was well aware that this was an opportunity to prove himself, and it was handed to him on a silver platter.
But although he had fought in many battles and had some wits, he had never encountered such a situation.
Faced with a boundary-less enemy, the only thing he could think of was, if the opponent killed one person, he would return tenfold!
Seeing He Nian silent for a long time, Wen Ping encouraged him, "It’s okay, speak your mind freely."
He Nian hesitated for quite a while before softly saying, "Sect Leader, actually, I have a bold idea."
"Speak."
Wen Ping waited patiently.
He Nian continued, "Among the enemies I have faced in my life, the one that uses such boundary-less methods the most is the Covering Sky Tower. So, if we can have Wei Sheng Xing Yu, the creator of the Covering Sky Tower, assist us, dealing with this kind of boundary-less method should be quite easy. After all, he is the forefather of such tactics."
As soon as he finished, many Elders of the Immortal Sect expressed their agreement.
"Sect Leader, I think it’s worth a try."
"We really lack experience dealing with such tactics."
Then, He Nian added, "Sect Leader, I’m willing to try to persuade him, but I can’t guarantee success.
"Go ahead," Wen Ping agreed.
After He Nian left the room, Wen Ping said to Zi Ran, "Elder Zi Ran, take a few Elders and send a notice to all forces in East Lake. During this time, no one is allowed to leave; everyone must stay within the city or their territories."
A horde of demons entering East Lake is no laughing matter.
"Yes! But Sect Leader, why is that? Shouldn’t we have them help us at this time?" Zi Ran was somewhat puzzled.
"We don’t need them."
"I will personally go with Elder Yun to take care of it later."
"Then let’s all disperse. If there’s anything else, you can come to the Main Hall to find me." Wen Ping got up and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Wen Ping connected with Huaikong via the Sound Transmission Stone.
"Huaikong, I’ll give you five days to gather 2,000 Demon Kings comparable to the Mountain Suppression Realm and an additional one million Great Demons comparable to the Divine Profound Realm. Bring them all to East Lake, and also bring those eight invaders. Our battle with the Hundred Sects Alliance is about to begin!"
At this time, the number of Demon Kings comparable to the Mountain Suppression Realm from the Demon Race had increased from over 3,100 to over 5,000. However, to keep the Demon Race stable, Wen Ping did not plan to have them all join the battlefield. As for Great Demons comparable to the Divine Profound Realm, Wen Ping only intended to dispatch around one million, less than one-fifth of their total amount.
Of course, this number might be much smaller compared to the punitive coalition of the Hundred Sects Alliance, but Wen Ping believed that this war would ultimately end with the death of the strongest individual on each side. The scenario of millions of people engaging in a melee is unlikely to happen often, so having fewer main forces on the Immortal Sect’s side doesn’t matter.
After instructing Huaikong, Wen Ping got up and went to Wei Sheng Xing Yu’s residence.
At this time, He Nian had already arrived at Wei Sheng Xing Yu’s place with Long Yue.
He Nian wasn’t the type to slowly talk through this matter with Wei Sheng Xing Yu and hadn’t done such things before, so he brought Long Yue to help.
Although Long Yue was reluctant, for the sake of learning magic in peace, she had to reluctantly agree to help He Nian.
As soon as she entered, Long Yue started with words of concern.
"Senior, are you hungry?"
Then she had He Nian place the basket full of fruits beside Wei Sheng Xing Yu’s bed.
Wei Sheng Xing Yu wore an indifferent expression, staring coldly at He Nian and Long Yue, who seemed to have no good intentions, and then coldly said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why bother with this pretense?"
"Senior, I admire your straightforwardness. A few days ago, there was a slight misunderstanding between us, but we younger ones didn’t do it deliberately, and the main purpose of our visit today is actually to apologize."
Long Yue did not state her request outright.
When asking for a favor, the worst thing to do is to state your need at the start.
Sure enough, when they mentioned apologizing, Wei Sheng Xing Yu’s hawk-like gaze softened a little, and she no longer stared intently at the two.
Wei Sheng Xing Yu casually picked up a fruit from the basket, eating while saying, "Then when can I leave?"
Long Yue replied, "Senior, you can leave whenever you want. It’s just that your serious injury has just begun to heal, and you still need to recuperate."
"My injuries won’t heal quickly, so I’d rather not care for them."
Wei Sheng Xing Yu responded flatly.
Long Yue added, "Senior, as long as you stay here, with our Sect Leader’s capability, who saved you from the Qu Realm and revived you, any other injuries are not an issue for him at all."
"I do believe that," acknowledged Wei Sheng Xing Yu.
Long Yue smiled slightly in response.
Wei Sheng Xing Yu finished one fruit and picked up another.
Seeing Wei Sheng Xing Yu was no longer so wary of her, Long Yue chose to go straight to the point, "Senior, seeing how much our Sect Leader has helped you, could you assist us with a small matter?"
