Chen Fan was anxious. He knew that the more anxious he was, the harder it would be to come up with an effective countermeasure. But how could he not be anxious?
The person who was besieged at the Great Wall of Disaster was his only good brother for many years. He was his best friend who had brought him all the way from the Polar night training camp. He was the man who had even told him the secret of rebirth.
It was impossible for him to watch Li Xiang die in battle at the Great Wall of Disaster.
In the office, Ji Yanqing was equally anxious. She sat on the sofa, but her face was full of anxiety and nervousness.
Li Xiang's last order was to shrink all the New Polar night's industries to Rose Garden, the Gemini territory, and the Jadeite Forest. These three bases were the safest, but at the same time, it was almost impossible to establish contact with the outside world.
Three years ago, when he went to the Great Wall of Disaster, he had also asked Ming Xu to do something similar. But at that time, he did not stop the various transactions between Scarlet Heavy Industries and the Seven Continents. But this time, after completing the powerful Void Fleet, all the Scarlet Heavy Industries' bases in the Seven Continents were blown up. This meant that he had completely given up on the Seven Continents' potential market.
Even the Zhe family, a rising star in the machinery industry, had decisively abandoned all their shares and left the Seven Continents. This was a heavy blow, aimed at the Seven Continents and himself.
Furthermore, by doing so, it meant that Li Xiang had decided to leave behind a portion of the 'Kindling' and slowly develop it in those three bases. The army that had followed him to the Great Wall of Calamity and the warriors of the New Polar Night were his final determination.
If they could not solve the problem of being besieged, they would all die.
"I have already sent Xuanxuan to Rose Garden. She will be very safe there. The seniors of the Rose Maid Squad will also be the best teachers." Ji Xianqing exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and rubbed her stomach.
She and Chen Fan had a son.
It would be born in seven or eight months.
But she had made this decision, clearly intending to cut off all means of retreat with Chen Fan — if there was really no solution.
"You go too. You still have our child in your belly. You can't follow me to death." Chen Fan shook his head. For the first time, he firmly rejected Ji Yanqing's decision. "The people of the new Polar night are even more anxious than us. But according to Wang Bo, Li Xiang's last secret order is that the new Polar night is not allowed to take action without his personal command, at any time."
"He doesn't want the new Polar Night to be involved in these matters. He would rather die in the Great Wall of Calamity to preserve the new Polar Night. But will Fire Phoenix, Number One, and Hunting Sky agree?" Ji Yanqing clenched her fists and said in a cold voice, "Sky-swallowing Wing King and Double Moon Lord are too much. Aren't they worried about the problems after the city wall is breached?"
Chen Fan sighed. Yes, they didn't know what had happened in the new world, but the result was the same. Only these two Level 9 players had returned from the new world, and it just so happened that they had a blood feud with the new Polar night. Who would believe that it was a coincidence?
Originally, the current power of the seven continents was controlled by the Five Thrones, the Three Great Forces, and the Aristocratic Alliance. Among them, the Aristocratic Alliance was a mix of good and bad. Their stance was uncertain, but they would definitely put their own family's interests first.
The Five Thrones all had Level 8 players in charge, and they were the most powerful forces at the moment. As for the Three Great Forces, the Chronometer Tower stood aloof from worldly affairs, and the Scholars were able to stand at the top of the seven continents because they maintained absolute neutrality. Honey and Sophia wanted to do something, but they were powerless. They couldn't persuade the Scholars who only knew how to bury themselves in research.
The members of the Kataszhaofei Committee were basically in the new world. Now that the two Level 9 players had returned, they naturally listened to their arrangements. As for Wessex, Duke Siluo was nowhere to be found. Although Cecilia was in charge, the Sky-swallowing Wing King was sitting in Wessex's headquarters drinking tea. She couldn't do anything.
Finally, the military headquarters belonged to the Kataszhaofei Committee and Wessex. General Othello was not around, and the most experienced person was General Bai Zhun, a Level 8 player. However, there was a one-word difference between Level 8 and Level 9, but there was a huge difference in combat strength. Any Level 9 player could deal with the siege of several Level 8 players alone.
Bai Zhun now had to take charge of the Bai family and divert his attention to the military headquarters. Naturally, it was not good for him to interfere too much in the matters here.
The most important thing was that if the other Level 9 players could not return, then the situation of the seven continents would change drastically. This was what the Level 8 players were worried about now. Compared to the future trend of the various forces and families, the distribution of benefits, and the change in the situation, the battle at the Great Wall of Calamity had become less important.
This was the thought of all the forces. They were not one person or a group of people, but a huge combination. They were like an extremely precise mechanical device. Every part had to be considered, and a slight move would affect the whole body. Behind the rise and fall of every aristocratic family were countless corpses and flesh. They did not want to become a stepping stone for others to rise up.
And this heavy burden was pressed on the members of every force with different weights.
The stronger they were, the heavier the burden. At this time, they would be even more fearful of the slightest thing.
City 0001, Bai Family.
Bai Zhun sat on a green praying mat. The room was completely transparent, and the stars in the sky were flying wantonly. Sometimes, meteors would slide past, sometimes explode into mist, and sometimes new stars would be born. This was a rare map of the entire starry sky. It could only be seen in the cultivation room on the highest level of the Five Great Thrones. It was said to be the complete picture of the stars before the Blue Planet was shattered. It was helpful for the cultivation of various secret techniques, especially for low-level players.
Below him sat two men and three women. They were extremely young, and each of them had a green praying mat. They were arranged in a ring around Bai Zhun.
"Xintong, put down your Book of Prophecy. When you participate in the upcoming player assessment and become an official player, you will be able to truly use its power. If you forcefully pry into its secrets now, you will only suffer a violent backlash. Mi Cha, don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. In this place, there will be a chain reaction with just a thought. You won't be able to escape. Ling 'er, you are now at an important juncture between Level 2 and Level 3. If you can't calm down, your cultivation this time will be in vain.
If you can't calm down … "Bai Zhun raised his head and opened his eyes to look at the five people beside him. They were the five most promising young descendants of the Bai Family. Other than the youngest Bai Xintong, who had yet to become a player, the other four had already stepped into the player realm. It could be said that they were the most prosperous generation of the Bai Family in the past few hundred years.
But now, the five of them had their own thoughts. Even if they were forcefully locked in this star cultivation room, they could not calm down.
"Shihu, Dong Xue, why can't you calm down? Compared to them, you don't have a deep relationship with Li Xiang, right? "
Hearing that name, the bodies of the five people trembled.
Bai Shihu sighed and did not answer. He had once regarded Bai Ling and Bai Dongxue as his lifelong enemies. After Ye Tong's return, he had a new opponent. He was even more overjoyed. With Baimiya's strong rise, Bai Shihu felt that his path to becoming stronger through battle had been broadened.
But when Li Xiang proudly dominated the seven continents, he suddenly realized that his ultimate goal should be him.
From then on, he devoted himself to cultivation and restrained his arrogance in order to defeat Li Xiang one day.
He was one of the first people to know about Li Xiang. At that time, he was not even a magic user, so he did not take him seriously at all. After the two of them met at the School Championship Competition, Li Xiang was already enough for him to take him seriously. Later on, they entered the player assessment together and became players together.
In three years, Bai Shihu believed that his cultivation speed was not slow. He was also at the level of sitting two to three, but compared to that figure, he was too far behind.
If he died in the Great Wall of Disaster just like that, he was certain that it would be difficult for him to cultivate for the rest of his life.
As for Bai Dongxue, in fact, he had a closer relationship with Li Xiang than the other four people here. In the past three years, the two of them had been the closest comrades-in-arms. They had worked together to do many things and fought many times without a clear winner.
The void fleet last time was also facilitated by him.
But he did not expect that the war would take a turn for the worse and reach this point!
That time in the void crack, he had clearly mentioned the problem of Ji Zhanxue to him. Why did he subconsciously reject it? He did not even notice the problem of the two-moon overlord and the sky-devouring winged king!
At this point, there was no way to reverse the situation.
"Third Uncle …" Bai Dongxue's expression was somewhat bitter. "If the Great Wall of Disaster is really broken, do we have the ability to defend the seven continents?"
Bai Zhun was silent.
Everyone knew the answer in their hearts.
Whether they could defend it or not was a problem. The bigger problem was who would replace the Night Guardian Army to defend it?
The seven continents were such a vast territory. If they were invaded by the mutant army, the only way to resist was to build their own city walls and fortresses and rule separately. At that time, everyone would be too busy to take care of themselves. Who would risk their lives for others?
At that time, the first to die would be a large number of ordinary people who would become food for the mutants. Then, it would be those small forces, nobles, and even upper-class families.
"We can't defend it, and we won't defend the seven continents. The Bai family is our foundation." Bai Zhun shook his head. "Moreover, the two lords didn't clearly state the situation of the new world. Everything is uncertain. As long as we can hold on until the level 9 players return, the battle line can be pushed back."
"But if they dare to do this now, doesn't it mean something to a large extent? Either the level 9 players won't be able to return in a short time, or this is their concentrated will to settle the Great Wall of Disaster first … "Baimiya could not help but roar." In short, it has already happened. The sky-devouring winged king and the two-moon overlord are sealing everything. We can only watch him die! "
"Don't talk nonsense." Bai Zhun's gaze was like a torch as he looked at her with a burning gaze. "Mi Cha, you are the first successor of the fourth branch family. In the future, you will inherit the position of the family head. If you change such an impatient and impulsive personality, it will not be a good thing for your cultivation and power."
"I don't want the position of the family head! Whoever wants it can be it. I don't need this cultivation room either. If you want to stay, then stay. I'm going to the Great Wall of Disaster. I'll kill whoever stops me! "
Baimiya suddenly stood up. Although she was only a level 2 player, Bai Lihu could clearly feel the violent killing intent and terrifying aura on her body.
So she was already so strong?
"Bastard!" Bai Zhun flicked his finger slightly and pressed Baimiya back to her position. "If you go, what can you do if you go? Are you going to die with him? "
"What's wrong with dying together? It's better than watching him die here! I just like him. What's wrong with that? I just want to marry him and be his woman. What's wrong with that? Family head, I don't care. I don't want to stay in this Bai family anymore! "
Baimiya's face was red. She struggled to get up again, but was gently pressed down by a fair hand.
"Mi Cha, that's enough. Don't be childish," Bai Dongxue said indifferently. Her fingers gently slid on Mi Cha's shoulder. "Continue to cultivate."
"You!" Baimiya felt something in her heart. After hesitating for a moment, she sat down obediently.
.....
Gemini territory.
Fire Phoenix, Wang Bo, Lie Kong, Number One, Zhao Lingkong, and the others sat around the round table. They looked at each other in dismay. No one said anything, but the solemn atmosphere lingered.
No one was willing to be the first to speak, but they were all waiting for the person who spoke first.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The ripples at the door suddenly appeared slowly. It was as if something had penetrated the transparent wall, and a figure walked out.
The few of them who were still a little restless immediately calmed down. Lie Kong even smiled bitterly.
"Ha, little ones, even if you sit here until you die, I won't let you go to the Great Wall of Disaster. Don't think too much. If you're tired, go to sleep. If you're hungry, go eat. Now, there are many things in the new Polar night that you need to take care of. Or do you plan to let the young master's efforts go to waste? "
Reah dragged the silver-white bone-chopping knife in her hand. She smiled and yawned.
The leader of the Rose Maids had personally come to monitor them. They immediately understood that there was no way they could find a chance to run to the Great Wall of Disaster.
But when they thought of that, and of Li Xiang …
"Lady Reah, aren't you worried about his safety?" Fire Phoenix was the first to speak. Her feelings for Li Xiang were very special. She was originally just an ordinary mercenary, but because of that young man, she reached the position she dared not imagine. So many years had passed, but she still remembered that night when he asked her for a drink. That lonely figure.
He had always been lonely. If there was no one else to accompany him in his final moments.
She couldn't accept it.
Even if she died, she was willing to die by his side.
Reah's eyelashes trembled slightly. She said faintly, "Yes, what's the use of worrying? The young master has already given the order. What we need to do is to execute it and complete it perfectly. The current situation can't be saved even if the master breaks through to Level 8. If you go, what can you do except add a few more corpses? "
They felt stifled, but they knew that this was the truth.
Bang!
Hunter suddenly stood up and pushed his chair away. He said in a muffled voice, "I'm going back to sleep."
As soon as she left, this meeting that had not been spoken from the beginning to the end also came to an end.
This was the current situation. Even if they had the ability and the willingness to help the Great Wall of Disaster, they didn't dare to act rashly.
Two Level 9 players were watching. They had clearly issued a ban. If anyone dared to break it, even a Level 8 player would not be able to escape death. No one was willing to die.
A haze gradually covered the sky above the Seven Continents.
.....
Dong Ling's house.
"Ming Xu, don't you want to save him?" Ai Yakumo and Atsushi Amakusa were anxious. They had been saved by Li Xiang. Now that Li Xiang was in his final moments, they had to help him even if they had to die. However, they were locked in Dong Ling's house, unable to move an inch.
And the person who had locked them in was none other than Ming Xu!
Ming Xu sat at the door, wearing a bright kimono. He quietly watched the cherry trees outside the courtyard dance in the wind. The cherry blossoms fell one by one into the center of the lake, creating ripples.
The Lunar Shadow Hoar Frost was placed on his legs.
"If he dies, I will kill everyone to accompany him in death," Ming Xu calmly replied. "But now, I can't leave. You can't leave either."
