1372 The Agreed Time.
"That's your problem," Li Lanfeng replied without any sympathy.
"I know. I'll prepare the resources, but I need to go back to the Soul Realm." Xia Qingyi frowned. He needed the emperor's permission to use so many resources. However, if he didn't have a good reason, he probably wouldn't be able to convince the emperor. Xia Qingyi was a little troubled. This wasn't an easy problem to solve.
"We've contacted Lord Gen of the 13 Lords. Lord Gen's request depends on the results of this cooperation. This is the other party's condition. If the cooperation is successful, Lord Gen will allow the people from the Soul Realm to enter his territory. "Li Lanfeng told him the reason Ling Lan thought of for him.
Xia Qingyi's eyes lit up. "That's a good reason." This promise was actually very empty. If people from other places dared to make such a promise, the emperor of the Soul Realm would definitely scoff at them. He wouldn't even roll his eyes. However, the Lawless Lands … had always been the emperor's biggest regret. This promise was like arsenic and honey. He knew it was poisonous, but he still wanted to try it.
"Good luck." Li Lanfeng waved his hand at Xia Qingyi, indicating that their conversation had ended. He could leave now.
Xia Qingyi was very frustrated. Speaking of which, this was his territory. Unfortunately, the person in front of him didn't have any self-awareness as a guest at all. He did this kind of thing without any sense of shame.
Without stopping, Xia Qingyi rushed back to the Soul Realm and reported this matter to the emperor of the Soul Realm. Li Lanfeng could only wait patiently for Xia Qingyi's good news.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the time Ling Lan agreed to meet with the 13 Lords.
Ling Lan hugged Little White and sat on the ice chair in the rainbow palace. Her expression was calm as if she didn't know the time was up.
Ji Ming, who was standing below, couldn't hide the worry in his heart. He couldn't help but look up at Ling Lan.
Ling Lan acted as if she didn't notice, and she still stroked Little White's soft fur in an orderly manner in a carefree manner.
For some reason, Ji Ming's heart calmed down. It seemed that there really wouldn't be any problems.
Yu Shangfei was surprised. When did Ji Ming become so protective of Lord Gen? When he found out that Ji Ming's plan had failed and that he had almost died with the three people in charge, he had stayed outside, not daring to return. He was afraid that Lord Gen would find out that he was on Ji Ming's side and investigate him thoroughly. Although Yu Shangfei knew that Lord Gen probably knew about it, he still chose to be an ostrich. As long as Lord Gen didn't look for him, he would hide and pretend that he didn't know anything.
Right at this moment, the energy of the domain concept in the main hall suddenly fluctuated violently.
Ling Lan raised her head and flicked her right sleeve. Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei felt their vision darken. In the next second, they were standing behind Lord Gen. A faint layer of domain concept energy blocked their path.
At the spot where they were originally standing, five people had appeared. They were the five lords that Lord Gen had promised two months ago.
The blonde Lord Holy opened his mouth and said, "It's time. May I ask where the resources you promised are?"
Ling Lan didn't raise her head. She continued stroking Little White's soft fur calmly. She only replied calmly, "It's not time yet. Lord Holy, you're too impatient."
A sharp glint flashed past Lord Holy's eyes. At this moment, Lord Zhen, who was at the side, smiled. "You're right. It's not time yet. Why don't we invite you for a few cups of tea? We can wait for your good news together. You should know that we, Lord Qian and Lord Kun, are very interested in the things you promised. We can't disappoint them, right? "
Ling Lan raised her head and glanced at Lord Zhen with a faint smile on her face. She knew what was going on. She said slowly, "Since the five lords are interested, as the owner of this place, I will definitely welcome you all."
After saying that, she changed her tone and said to Ji Ming, "Ji Ming, ask someone to serve tea."
"Yes, Lord Gen." Ji Ming accepted the order respectfully and left the main hall in a flash.
Soon, Ji Ming served tea. There were six imperial realm formidable warriors in the main hall. Normal servants didn't have the ability to enter. Even Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei felt suffocated under the pressure of the six imperial realm formidable warriors. However, they were still smart. They hid behind Ling Lan and used Ling Lan's domain concept to block a lot of the pressure for them. They didn't have to kneel down and embarrass themselves.
The six of them just drank their tea in silence. Ling Lan was silent the entire time, and the other five lords were also not in the mood to talk to Ling Lan. Perhaps, they were just waiting for the appointed time to arrive, and then they would decide whether to kill or not.
Finally, time still mercilessly reached the promised time.
Lord Holy smiled coldly. "It's already the first day of the third month. Until now, we still haven't seen any supplies. According to the rules, you must pay the price for killing Lord Gen."
Ling Lan smiled. "So … you want to fight?"
Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei jumped away from Ling Lan reflexively. This action seemed to be drawing a line between them and Ling Lan.
Lord Holy looked at them with satisfaction. "Very good. We will deal with your mistakes accordingly."
Yu Shangfei's face lit up. Ji Ming lowered his head respectfully. No one saw the complicated expression in his eyes. There seemed to be a hint of hesitation as well.
"Haha, look. Even though you've been Lord Gen for two months, you're still alone," Lord Holy mocked.
"Is that so?" Ling Lan smiled and asked back.
At that moment, Ling Lan had already communicated with Little White. If the five lords attacked at the same time, they would use their spiritual power to attack together and make them lose their ability to react. This would make it easier for Ling Lan to escape.
Ling Lan wasn't arrogant enough to think that she could fight against five imperial realm formidable warriors. If she couldn't escape in time, she would definitely die if the five lords caught her.
She would definitely die. Seeing Ling Lan in such a state and still acting as if they couldn't do anything to her, the killing intent in Lord Holy's heart intensified. As a lord who could control the life and death of the Lawless Lands, he hated people like Ling Lan who couldn't be controlled by him the most. From the start, he wanted to kill her. Unfortunately, the other lords were deeply moved by the things Ling Lan talked about and the beautiful future she painted. That was why they gave her two months. In these two months, his patience had reached its limit.
"Kill!" Lord Holy shouted angrily.
The five lords activated their domains simultaneously and covered Ling Lan's head.
Ling Lan saw this and pinched Little White's round body. Just as their spiritual power was about to explode …
Ling Lan's expression changed. She pinched Little White again and forcefully choked Little White's spiritual power roar.
"Ugh!" Little White tried its best to swallow the terrifying spiritual power back into its stomach.
Fortunately, its stomach was an extradimensional space. It could throw the spiritual power into another dimension. If not, just the backlash from the spiritual power would be enough to make it sleep for a few days.
