Chapter 652: Burn It or Defend It?
Adam’s eyes narrowed, his face solemn and his voice icy. "Don’t tell me they’re acting in less than ten years."
Xian Yunxu’s face grew somber as she raised two fingers. "They’re waiting for two more to join us..." She sighed. "They’ll bring ten spiritual ascension realm masters and thousands of disciples to your doorsteps. And trust me, not even a demonic cult has a fighting chance against the qi convergence array of one hundred we’re learning."
"Shit..." A frustrated mutter escaped his lips, the formation’s effects clear just by its name. He pinched the bridge of his nose and clicked his tongue. "They’re dead set on getting what’s mine, huh? I can’t believe they’re even using a formation to condense a hundred people’s qi to form energy beasts."
"You know about it?" Xian Yunxu tilted her head, then nodded. "That saves us time. With it, we’ll have an additional ten spiritual ascension realm masters and hundreds of void refinement realm experts."
Her voice lingered for a second before she shook her head. "I’ll warn you before we depart. So please, fill your spatial rings to the brim and give the blessed land up when the time comes."
Sinking in his chair, his brows creased in a pensive frown. Give it up? The resources were great, but a vast pocket dimension with a developed ecosystem that had persisted for fifty thousand years was the veritable treasure. Just thinking about the infrastructure and cultural value, made him clench his jaws in reluctance.
Yet, Yunxu didn’t give him time to ponder and pressed with a tone filled with gravitas. "Your life’s worth much more. Don’t take unnecessary risks to save a few hundred years."
"So what? I’d rather burn it than abandon what I earned by risking my life." He snorted, his nose scrunched, and his lips twisted. Anger was too little to express his feelings. He was revolted, disgusted by those fools’ forcefulness.
"You insisted on the puppet’s power, right? You told Tianlong how it almost drowned the realm in death and misery before the void emperor sacrificed himself to seal it." He slammed his fist on the table, the pot and glasses clinking. "So, why can’t they give up?!"
