Chapter 1068: Chapter 988: Pei Wu and Bainian Hanshan’s Worries Heaven and Earth Lake.
Thousand Mechanism Lake.
In the depths of the night, stars dotted the sky.
Hundreds of miles outside Vast City, thousands of large bonfires illuminated the plains for dozens of miles.
The Human Race army and the Demon Race army poured in from all directions, continuously gathering here like rivers.
After all the Demon and Human forces gathered, they immediately took their positions, poised and ready, always prepared to face enemies appearing from the Middle Qu Realm Passage.
They only knew that the Vanguard Army of the Heaven-Covering Tower had been repelled by the Immortal Sect once; they had the upper hand at the start of the war but didn’t know that the Immortal Sect had invaded the realm of the Heaven-Covering Tower.
Thus, every heart, human or demon, was in suspense.
They felt uncertain about when the armies of the Heaven-Covering Tower would charge out of the Qu Realm Passage.
Because of this mindset, the vast majority of people and demons kept their eyes locked on the exit of the Qu Realm Passage, not daring to look away.
Not even for a moment!
Above the allied forces, on the back of a Wing Race Demon God, Long Yue, Pei Wu, and Bainian Hanshan were conversing.
Their faces were full of solemnity.
Bainian Hanshan, although a Vice Alliance Leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, was actually the weakest among them.
Thus, his composure wasn’t as strong as that of Pei Wu, who was Half-Step Earth Unrestricted, nor Long Yue, who was Earth Unrestricted.
"Why hasn’t the Alliance Leader returned yet?"
Bainian Hanshan whispered, his eyes fixed on the Qu Realm Passage, his brows furrowed.
Pei Wu responded: "Brother Hanshan, no need to be so tense. If there’s any movement in the Qu Realm Passage, the Alliance Leader can return to the battlefield instantly."
Bainian Hanshan forced a smile and concurred, "I know. I’m just worried that the Heaven-Covering Tower, humiliated after their first defeat, will attack even more fiercely the second time. If they have leaders above Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted, they could catch us off guard. We probably wouldn’t be able to hold them back by ourselves!"
Pei Wu listened but did not continue the conversation.
Because what Bainian Hanshan worried about, Pei Wu feared just as much.
Especially regarding Huaikong’s abrupt return to the sect.
Pei Wu pondered whether the situation had worsened.
Seeing the worry on both their faces, Long Yue reassured, "There’s nothing to be overly concerned about. Even if they attack now, those above Earth Unrestricted will be handled by us. You just need to properly command the Heaven and Earth Alliance army. Besides, with You Country eyeing the Heaven-Covering Tower at Heaven-Gazing Gorge, they won’t dare send too many attackers."
After rational analysis, Long Yue secretly observed Pei Wu and Bainian Hanshan.
Seeing their unrelenting worry, she ceased further reassurance.
She understood that words were futile right now.
Only victory could ease their minds!
She was aware that Wenping and the Sword Demon had entered the realm of the Heaven-Covering Tower.
So what was the current status?
What was the situation of the battle?
Also, why had Elder Huaikong hastily returned to the sect?
Why hadn’t he come back yet?
Earlier, Long Yue contacted Long Ke to inquire about the situation, but the response was——everything would be discussed in person!
This left her uneasy.
What happened that couldn’t be explained through the Sound Transmission Stone?
However, since Long Ke suggested an in-person discussion, she refrained from further inquiries, quietly attending to her duties.
The break of dawn approached.
At that moment.
A white light suddenly illuminated the sky, landing on the edge of the Qu Realm Passage.
All eyes were drawn to it, seeing Huaikong and Long Ke emerge from the white light.
Pei Wu, Bainian Hanshan, Long Yue, and others, seeing this scene, suddenly rejoiced, their worries dissolving by more than half.
"Get closer! Get closer!"
The two immediately directed the Wing Race Demon God beneath them toward Huaikong, then eagerly called out.
"Alliance Leader! Elder Long!"
"Alliance Leader! Elder Long!"
Seeing their urgency, Huaikong asked, "What happened?"
"Nothing major, everything is progressing smoothly according to the Alliance Leader’s plan," Pei Wu said with a smile.
Bainian Hanshan also chuckled and added, "Today after dawn, the battlefield will assemble at least a million Heaven and Earth Alliance troops!"
Huaikong nodded in satisfaction.
