A few days ago, when Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang sent their two Junior Brothers back to the mountain to ask for help, they actually didn't have much hope.
If everything went well, of course, that would be the best. The Elders of Spirit Sword Sect and the other sects of the Wanxian League would come to support them. At that time, no matter how powerful the demon race was, they would be annihilated.
Previously, Wang Lu couldn't judge the opponent's card, so he didn't dare to rashly expand the scale of the war. But now that the black tide had been suppressed, he had no scruples.
However, they really couldn't expect too much from the request for help, because it was not difficult for the opponent to judge the situation. As long as the demon race was not stupid, they must be able to see the importance of blocking the news. As long as this group of disciples of Spirit Sword Sect was completely killed, it would be difficult for Spirit Sword Sect to find out the abnormality for a while based on the isolation of the news in the Savage Land. And when they found out the problem, the demon race would have already completed the arrangement, and they would no longer be afraid of anyone. As long as Wang Lu was killed, the terrifying black tide in the desert would continue to accumulate until it erupted. When the black tide swept through, the Lingjian School would embark on the road of the real history.
Therefore, from the beginning, sending people back to the mountain to ask for help was somewhat of a gamble. It was just that, under the situation at that time, this move couldn't be put aside. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Ouyang Shang chose two Junior Brothers who were proficient in escape technique and life-saving to send the letter back to the mountain.
Fortunately, although the development of the situation was not particularly smooth, it was still controllable. Now, even if the action of the two Junior Brothers was not smooth, and the letter for help could not be sent back to the mountain … More than half of the people in the Blessed Fountain base had already gathered. As long as these people could be led back to the mountain, it could be considered as a victory.
Now that he heard that the two Junior Brothers had successfully sent the letter for help, Ouyang Shang finally let out a deep sigh of relief.
Along the way, as the Big Brother, he shouldered the heavy pressure that made him deeply tired. The unpredictable enemy, the terrifying black tide of the demon race, and the lives of more than one hundred brothers and sisters all had to be shouldered. And at this time, he was just a young man who had just achieved the King Pill!
Fortunately, this difficult test eventually came to the end.
"After three days, the reinforcements will arrive, so everyone must be careful in these three days, don't fall before dawn."
After giving a brief explanation to Yang Fei, Cai Xia, and the other people in charge of Blessed Fountain base, Ouyang Shang returned to his room to rest. He was really tired all the way here.
But when he opened the door, he saw that there was already someone in the room. Seeing that person, Ouyang Shang could not help but smile bitterly, "Junior Brother Wang Lu is really energetic, aren't you tired?"
Wang Lu said, "I'm as tired as a dog, so I came here to relax."
"… Junior Brother, if you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to talk about leisure."
Wang Lu said, "Hey, I was thinking that since it's rare for me to have a break, I might as well show some affection to you. But since you're so against the pure friendship between the same sex, I can only …"
Ouyang Shang could not bear to listen any longer and quickly interrupted, "… What do you think about the reinforcements that will arrive in three days?"
Wang Lu sighed and said, "Of course there is. I came to find you not only for leisure but also to discuss this matter. According to the original timeline, the Lingjian School was completely annihilated. And because I know this, I've always opposed the idea of bringing the Elders here. Unfortunately, with the change of the situation, in the end, we still walked on the old road … Although we have done enough safety measures, after all, we still have to bear great risks. "
Ouyang Shang said, "In the face of such a powerful enemy, there's no reason not to take risks. Now that the black tide has been sealed by you, and after several confrontations with the enemy, although the other party's means are mysterious, it's obviously impossible for them to completely annihilate the Elders of Spirit Sword Sect … Reasonably, we don't need to worry about this for no reason. From the moment you came here, the historical line has already undergone irreversible changes. "
Wang Lu nodded. "Mm, let's put this issue aside for the time being. Let's discuss the next issue. These three days will be very difficult for everyone. The more than fifty people in Blessed Fountain base seem to be powerful, but under the pervasive infiltration of the opponent, the more people there are, the more flaws there will be. The move to protect Liu Xian can't be repeated. If there's a slight mistake, the more than fifty people will be in chaos. Even if you and I take action, I'm afraid it will be difficult to suppress it. "
Ouyang Shang nodded. "That's right. So just now, I have asked Yang Fei to bring his Junior Brother who is good at array arrangement to reinforce the Blessed Fountain base, and with the demon artifact enchantment left by the flood dragon …"
Wang Lu interrupted, "No matter how impregnable Blessed Fountain base is, after all, it's only from the hands of our group of young people who have reached the highest level of King Pill. When we were in Ghost Weeping Forest, we couldn't prevent the other party's infiltration, so it's also impossible to be sure when we return to Blessed Fountain. "
Ouyang Shang sighed. "I know, that's why I also asked Cai Xia to make other arrangements."
"Strict internal management, strict monitoring of every disciple … The idea is right, but I always feel that the strength of the means is not enough."
Ouyang Shang said, "… Mm, it's not safe to rely on Junior Sister Cai Xia and the others alone, so after a short rest, I plan to personally come out to inspect the base …"
"Blessed Fountain base was expanded on the basis of the Dragon Palace. The original master of this place has many subordinates, and the scale of the Dragon Palace is huge. Can you guarantee that there will not be any blind spots? It's not enough even if you add me. In my opinion, it's better for you to come out and order everyone to gather in the hall of the Dragon Palace, and then you and I will arrange an array in the hall to limit everyone to a square grid of one square foot. Within three days of the arrival of the Elder, everyone must stay in the grid and must not use external spells. If there is any violation, they will be regarded as being possessed by the Demon Race, and everyone will attack together. "
Ouyang Shang said with a wry smile, "This method of yours is completely unconventional. If it's really implemented in sequence, it can indeed eliminate the chaos caused by the Demon Race's possession to the greatest extent. But this is tantamount to questioning that all the Junior Brothers and Sisters here can't be trusted, planting the seeds of doubt first."
Wang Lu said, "Originally, they can't be trusted. In theory, even you and I are not trustworthy. It's just that no one is qualified to question you and me now. And Big Brother, with our tacit understanding, don't tell me that you haven't thought of this before. "
Being questioned by Wang Lu like this, Ouyang Shang could only respond in silence.
"Don't be shy, before I came, you didn't even lock your own door, it's clear that you were waiting for me to come …"
"…" Ouyang Shang still didn't speak, just silently took half a step back, a little further away from Wang Lu.
"Hey, it's very easy to cause misunderstandings if you try to cover up like this … In any case, just say it or not."
Ouyang Shang pondered for a moment, "Two problems, one is that this matter really shouldn't be handled by me …"
"I know, I know, of course, this kind of proposal that offends people should be said by me. Later, I will call everyone for a meeting, I will be responsible for the proposal, you don't have to say anything, naturally there will be people who will come forward to support it … You can trust your Junior Brothers and Sisters on this point."
Ouyang Shang smiled bitterly again, "This kind of politician's trick of using other people's trust is really disgusting."
Wang Lu backhanded a plate of vinegar peanuts, "If it's disgusting, you can eat something sour, but things have to continue … Let's eat and talk. In times of crisis of trust, it is necessary to set up an unquestionable idol, and this idol is none other than you. But the second problem is more troublesome, using the array to restrict everyone's movement can certainly protect the internal security, but once the enemy invades from the front, people who are restricted in the grid will inevitably be passive. So I suggest that you leave me to guard the outside. "
"… You really dare to mention it, if it were someone else, I would have some doubts just based on this proposal alone."
Wang Lu said, "So the position of guarding the door is none other than me. Among all of us, I have the highest resistance to external invasion — if the demons could control me, they would have already made me commit suicide to erase the mark of the Black Tide. Since I can jump around until now, it proves that their infiltration is ineffective against me, so it's safer for me to guard the door. "
"Well, I know … Well, as you say, I will call a plenary meeting later, you prepare for the proposal."
"Haha, it's to prepare for the rolling eyes ~"
— —
At the plenary meeting, Wang Lu was indeed greatly questioned. His first proposal was quickly passed, but there was no progress on the second issue.
"In a special period, everyone should be confined in the main hall and isolated by the grid array … Although this method is a bit rough, it can be regarded as an effective means to protect everyone. Although I am indeed a bit unhappy about this, I have no objection. My question is, why is it that even Big Brother is within this restriction, but you can run outside the hall without being restricted? "
Cai Xia's righteous question was approved by many disciples of Spirit Sword Sect.
"I know you're strong, even stronger than Eldest Senior Brother. However, trust has nothing to do with strength. We trust Eldest Senior Brother because we need someone who can shoulder everyone's trust, and Eldest Senior Brother is the most suitable candidate for this position. As for you, we don't even know who you are! "
Wang Lu opened his mouth, but just as he was about to speak, he was choked back by Cai Xia.
"Don't use the illegitimate child of the sect leader to perfunctory us! Only that idiot Ouyang Shang would believe that kind of idiotic reason! "
Ouyang Shang tilted his head. "I say, Cai Xia …"
"Shut up!"
"Em …"
Cai Xia's attitude was firm, so it was inconvenient for Ouyang Shang to speak. However, after thinking about it, Wang Lu really couldn't find a reasonable explanation — it was not impossible to expose the identity of a time traveler, but in fact, this reason was more bizarre than illegitimate child, and only Ouyang Shang could accept it without any obstacle. If it was Cai Xia...
"Enough."
In the end, it was Ouyang Shang who came forward and suppressed Cai Xia's doubt with the authority of the Big Brother.
"If you still regard me as the Big Brother, then there's no need to discuss this matter anymore. When the Elders come, we will give everyone an explanation … What do you think, Junior Sister Cai Xia?"
When it came to this, Cai Xia could not be stubborn and had to reluctantly agree.

For the next three days, the disciples of Spirit Sword Sect were in a state of panic, jittery at the slightest sound, and miserable. Wang Lu, who was guarding outside the Dragon Palace, was even more tense, not daring to relax for a moment.
However, surprisingly, in these three days, the demon race never made their move, not even the slightest probe, which completely turned the high vigilance of the disciples of Spirit Sword Sect into a false alarm.
When the light of dawn rose from the horizon on the fourth day, Wang Lu couldn't believe that three days had passed.
Wait a minute, three days have passed?!
Wang Lu suddenly thought of a huge blind spot, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.
