A dignified Lord of a city was kneeling in front of a stranger who he didn't even know if he could save his people. Ordinary people didn't have this kind of courage and magnanimity.
However, Lin Ray couldn't save them just because of this. It wasn't that he didn't want to save them, but that he couldn't. He wasn't a Bodhisattva, let alone a Tendo. He couldn't be selfless and sacrifice himself for others.
In the face of death, he was still himself. He was also human. Death was something he was born with. More importantly, if he was gone, what would happen to the Xuanzong Sect? What would happen to his family and brothers?
If he was gone, would those sects, forces, and holy lands that he had offended in the past make a move against his family and brothers?
More importantly, if he rose, would those battle generals he summoned disappear and leave with his death?
Linley had no choice but to take these uncertain factors into consideration.
Looking at Shi Long kneeling in front of him, Lin Ray was also suffering. He also wanted to help, but fate made fools of people.
"Alas!"
Looking up at Shi Long, Lin Ray sighed. His face was full of depression and helplessness. "I'm really sorry. It's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that the formation here is too powerful. Moreover, I don't have the ability to save you now.
"Of course, all of you might also know that the person who set up this formation is extremely powerful. I presume that his strength and influence are also extremely shocking. If I were to act rashly, it would not only be a provocation to that person or that force, it would also be a threat to my life and the people around me."
"So …
"Sorry, I … don't have the ability."
After listening to Lin Ray's long speech, the final result was that he didn't have the ability. Shi Long, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled and lost all his strength. His body went soft and fell backward.
"No way, no … no way. Why is it like this? It shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't be like this. Why is it like this?"
Perhaps it was because of that sentence! The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Perhaps he had told Lin Ray everything from the very beginning, so when he heard that Lin Ray had no solution, he … despaired!
"Hmph! What a cold-blooded and heartless person. He clearly has a way, yet he's willing to leave him in the lurch. Public morals are truly degenerating with each passing day!"
"Yes, I agree with you!" The Heavenly Pivot Rabbit's voice sounded, and Tian Ning quickly chimed in, "You clearly have a way, yet you're making it sound so dignified."
"As the saying goes, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-storied pagoda. You're not worthy of being a cultivator!"
"I …" These words came out of nowhere, leaving Linley speechless. He really hadn't expected that someone who was born to kill would actually be discussing with him how to save people, and would even occasionally berate him for it.
If Hongjun saw this scene, he would probably be stunned. Not only him, but even Lin Ray was shocked.
"Husband, you … you … you really have a way?" Ying, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, her expression full of expectation.
"Husband, I think what the Heavenly Pivot Rabbit said is somewhat reasonable. If you really have a way, then save the people here. Look at them, how pitiful they are!"
"You …" Seeing that they were all saying this, Lin Ray was really suffering in silence at this moment. He could not voice out his bitterness!
Facing his two wives' words, Lin Ray really did not want to refuse, but with his current strength, he … really had no way.
"Lin Ray, you …"
"Alright, alright, alright." Seeing that Sakra was about to speak, Lin Ray did not wait for him to speak and interrupted him, "I say, don't make a mess here. Don't tell me you don't have any idea of my insignificant strength?"
As he spoke, he directly threw a supercilious look at Sakra, "Do you really think that this array can be broken by my current strength?"
"Naive, too naive."
"What about in the future?" Looking at Lin Ray, Sakra opened his mouth and said, "Although you can't do it now, it doesn't mean that you can't do it in the future!"
"Just now you said that you can't do it now. That means that you will definitely be able to do it in the future, right?"
"…"
Sakra's words made him speechless for a moment. He didn't expect Sakra to play word games with him.
However, what he said was not wrong. Although his current level of array and other alchemy wasn't very good, it didn't mean that it wouldn't be good in the future.
Moreover, he also believed that he would definitely break through in the future. Moreover, it was a fact that he had this kind of determination and perseverance. Moreover, he believed that he had the strength to do so.
Looking at Sakra and the surrounding people's expectant and nervous expressions, Lin Ray hesitated for a moment. After thinking over and over again, he finally shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Really, Sakra, you've learned bad things!" After saying that, Lin Ray's eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the place where Dubhe Rabbit was.
And this was what Shi Long wanted to hear the most. Shi Long, who was originally in complete despair, suddenly escaped from disappointment and despair after hearing Lin Ray's words and became very spirited.
The original look of disappointment had completely disappeared at this moment and was replaced by hope that was replaced by disappointment and despair.
"You … you mean there's still a way, you …" He stuttered, perhaps because he was too excited!
Hearing Shi Long's voice, Lin Ray lowered his head to look at him. When he saw the expectation in his expression, Lin Ray nodded helplessly. "Yes! There is, but it will take time. "
"With my current strength, it's not enough to break this huge array. If there's enough time, maybe I can try to break it."
"Of course." In order not to disappoint Shi Long again, Lin Ray continued. "Although I said it's possible, it's not absolute because this is the first time I've seen this kind of array, so …"
"Understood, understood." Seeing Lin Ray go to this extent, Shi Long nodded repeatedly. "As long as you agree to help, then I … our Stone City will respect mister in the future."
After saying that, Shi Long didn't forget to kowtow to Lin Ray and his voice was even louder than before.
At this moment, Lin Ray's conversation with everyone had unknowingly changed from voice transmission to oral expression, so everyone present knew their conversation.
In this regard, as long as it was a native of Stone City, when they heard that there was still a way to become a normal person, they were very excited, excited, and happy.
"Plop."
The sound of people kneeling came from all around. Lin Ray was stunned and glanced around. At this moment, except for Lin Ray's group, the other natives of Stone City were all kneeling on the ground.
"We thank mister for saving our lives."
Because they were too excited, their voices were very loud as if they could pierce through the sky.
"You …" Looking at them, Linley was stunned. Coming back to his senses, he hurriedly went forward to help them up.
However, when Lin Ray's hand was less than an arm's length away from Shi Long's body, Shi Long reached out and stopped him. His voice accompanied his action into Lin Ray's eyes and ears.
"Don't be like this. This is our thanks to you. I hope you won't stop us. Please."
"F * ck." Hearing this, Linley knew that this was a f * cking moral kidnapping. Moreover, Linley had not made a decision to help, but it was already impossible for him to refuse.
What was this called? This was like forcing a duck onto a perch. However, looking at everyone's expectant and pleading expressions, Lin Ray's heart softened and he finally nodded in agreement.
"All of you, get up. I can agree to this matter, but you have to understand that this matter isn't something that I can help you with just by begging."
"You've heard that I don't have the ability right now. If you really think highly of me, then you have to wait. When I have the strength, I will save you."
"Of course, this is all I can do. If you're not satisfied, then …"
"No." Without waiting for Lin Ray to finish, Shi Long hurriedly said with a grateful expression, "You being able to save us is already the best thing for us."
"As for time, hehe, this thing is the most abundant to us. You just have to save us in the end. As for when to save us, you have the final say."
Hearing this, the natives kneeling around quickly echoed, "Yes, Castle Lord Shi is right. We don't lack time. As long as you have the time and strength, it won't be too late for you to come."
"Yes, yes! As long as you can save us! "
Seeing the look of absolute certainty on everyone's faces, Linley suddenly felt as though he had dug himself a very, very deep hole.
Thinking about how he would have to worry about this matter in the future, Lin Ray immediately regretted it.
"Heh, now you're regretting it?" At this moment, the Little Dragon's voice suddenly appeared in Lin Ray's mind. However, the voice was filled with ridicule.
"Do you know that the decision you made just now has already made you go against a powerhouse?"
"… What … What do you mean?"
He communicated with the Little Dragon, "Don't tell me that the person who set up this formation is a super powerhouse and is one of the strongest in the Holy World. It can even be said that he's a powerhouse from the Hongmeng realm, which is a higher level than the Holy World."
"Heh! Let's talk about this later. I can only tell you that the person who set up this formation is a super powerhouse. With your … Uh, no, even if you become a Saint, I'm afraid you're like an ant against an elephant. You're courting death. "
Lin Ray, "…"
Lin Ray was a little unhappy with the Little Dragon's insistence, but when he thought about how he had dug such a huge hole for himself, he suddenly felt like giving himself a few tight slaps.
"F * ck, my mouth is so f * cking cheap. If I knew things would turn out like this, I wouldn't have forced myself!"
Although he complained, since he had already made a promise, there was no reason to go back on it.
"Serves you right."
The Little Dragon could only think of this word for Lin Ray now.
"You … Tsk …" Knowing that the Little Dragon had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, he didn't refute. Instead, he asked with a smile. "Erm, Little Dragon, since things have turned out like this, what do you think we should do next?"
…
"Little Dragon?"
The Little Dragon seemed to have disappeared without a sound. Lin Ray was stunned.
"Little Dragon? Little Dragon, don't play dead. Hurry up and come out. "
"Little Dragon?"
And then, Linley called out once more, but in the end, all he got was silence. Linley felt quite helpless about this.
"F * ck, you're too mean." Lin Ray wanted to exit the conversation with the Little Dragon.
"Ding! Because of the Host's promise, a hidden mission has been unintentionally triggered. Would the Host like to accept it?"
This sudden voice caused Linley, who had been about to withdraw, to pause. He subconsciously said, "Accept."
"Ding! Okay, Host, please wait a moment."
"Ding! Acceptance complete. Would the Host like to check?"
"Tsk, check or not check?" Lin Ray thought about this question again and again. Compared to the pit just now, he was more willing to step into the pit he chose.
Facing the pit of the system, he didn't know how many times he had stepped into it, and which time didn't he narrowly escape death?
However, Lin Ray was very curious about the message he just received. He wanted to know what the mission was.
"Check." In the end, Lin Ray blurted out.
"Ding! Okay."
"Ding! Hidden mission: Break through the realm within 100,000 years and return to the stone city in the Heavenly Realm. Help the residents of the stone city return to their original lives and break the powerful array."
"F * ck …" He knew it was a trap, but he didn't expect it to be such a big trap. Not breaking through the realm and breaking the stone city's array for 100,000 years, Lin Ray didn't have any confidence in this.
Facing such a powerful array, Lin Ray wasn't prepared for the speed of the saint's breakthrough.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for accepting the hidden mission. Mission reward: All attributes increase by one level, Yuan Ling Scroll."
"… F * ck."
Hearing the system's voice, Lin Ray's mind was filled with ten thousand f * cking curses.
"I … When did I say I accepted this mission!" Facing the system's trap, Lin Ray felt as if he had eaten a bunch of dead flies. It was disgusting.
"Ding! After the system received the message and checked it, you have chosen to accept this hidden mission."
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell the Host that if you don't agree to this mission, the punishment will be like this. You know what it is."
"… F * ck."
Lin Ray's eyes widened, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. Black lines appeared on his forehead. At this moment, Lin Ray's mood was extremely bad.
Although he had just promised Shi Cheng that he would rescue him, that was only because there was no time limit. But now?
Now, there was a time limit for no reason. 100,000 years. Lin Ray didn't dare to guarantee this number because no one could say for sure what would happen in the future.
For a moment, Lin Ray was speechless. He withdrew from the system's conversation and looked forward like a fool. His expression was very complicated. Melancholy, confusion, anger, all kinds of emotions flashed across Lin Ray's face.
Regarding this, the crowd at the side was truly at a loss as to what was going on.
