390 The Goddess Fell
“There were a total of nine Mystic Emperors who sacrificed themselves. Five of them were from Lan Province and four from Feng Province. There were thirty-two Mystic Kings, fourteen in Lan State, and eighteen in Feng State. The exact statistics of Mystic Spirit had not yet appeared, but it was estimated that there would be no less than a hundred of them.”
The big shots present frowned when they heard the numbers that Hong Yaxuan had reported.
One must know that the Mystic Emperor was an expert who could become a sect leader. Sacrificing nine people at once was definitely a huge loss for the Sheng Country.
Xuan Wang and Xuan Ling were also the mainstays of the major sects and the Demon Cult. It was truly heartbreaking to see hundreds of people sacrificed at once.
What made the big shots even more uncomfortable was that this miasma was completely an undeserved disaster. Even now, they did not know who they were or where they came from. It was like a natural disaster that even cultivators could not stop.
The other thing that gave the four leaders a headache was whether the foreign tribes would make a comeback. From Yin Jianghong’s description, the leader of the invaders was very powerful. If it weren’t for the masked expert’s help, it was possible that they would have been completely wiped out in the miasma.
Moreover, they didn’t know what the so-called masked expert’s position was. He was helping the Sheng Country this time. What if he was the one leading the attack on the Sheng Country next time? At that time, would they still be able to withstand it?
After a long silence, Yin Jianghong spoke first,””In short, let’s take things slow in the Country of Liang. During this period of time, we still have to focus on cultivation.”
“Since this matter is over, I’ll go back and continue my seclusion.”
Guan Shi ‘an cupped his hands at the crowd and left.
The others were surprised by Guan Shi ‘an’s sudden departure, but they all expressed their understanding. After all, in the current situation, just cultivating and recuperating was definitely not enough. Only by becoming stronger could they protect the Sheng Kingdom.
“Yaxuan, you can leave as well.”
“Yes.” Hong Yaxuan bowed respectfully to Guan Shi ‘an and left the tent, resisting the urge to look at Jiang Beiran again.
Ji Qinglin also stood up and said,” Since we can’t think of a better way, let’s just leave it at that. I admire Sect Master Guan. To forge iron, one needs to be strong. Instead of praying that the Outsiders won’t come again, it’s better to become stronger.””
“A mere Mystic Emperor sure has big words.”Yin Jianghong laughed.
“To be honest with Master, this disciple loves those opponents who think that I’m only a mere Mystic Emperor the most. Especially after exchanging blows, their shocked gazes always make me unable to stop.”
“Ahem.” Wan Anqing coughed lightly.” Since you two have decided to cultivate, then our two states should work together.”
Retracting her gaze from Ji Qinglin, Yin Jianghong turned to Jiang Beiran and said,””Your Majesty, it can be said that this is the moment of life and death for the Sheng Kingdom. Aren’t you going to say something?”
“With a few seniors presiding over the situation here, I’d better…”
“Cut the crap. If you have any thoughts, just say it.”
“Yes,” Ji Qinglin nodded.” I’m also looking forward to your opinion, Your Majesty. Are you really going to be a mascot?””
“Since the two Seniors have asked this, then Zhen will speak of some shallow opinions.”After some thought, Jiang Beiran continued,””I believe that whether it’s the miasma or the Outsiders, they can’t appear out of thin air. If Seniors are willing, you can organize some experts to search the area where the miasma appeared and see if there’s any kind of entrance.”
“It’s very likely to be some kind of array formation.”
“That makes sense.” Yin Jianghong smiled and nodded at Jiang BeiRan.
‘艹! Did I fall into a trap?
Since the topic of formations had been brought up, Jiang Beiran felt that Yin Jianghong would definitely not leave him out. At most, she would help him keep a low profile, but she would definitely have to work.
However, Jiang Beiran only made a small remark. The current situation was indeed as Yin Jianghong had said. If they did not handle it carefully, Sheng Country might face a catastrophe. If Jiang Beiran wanted to continue developing peacefully, he had to let Sheng Country survive.
‘Put in some effort…Let’s get some power
“What else?” Yin Jianghong continued to ask.
“In this Emperor’s opinion, although recuperation is very important for the current Sheng Kingdom, it is more important to prepare for war. All the provinces and counties must enter a state of war and make more ample preparations. This way, the next time the miasma comes, there will not be as much panic as this time.”
“In your opinion, what preparations should we make?”Ji Qinglin interrupted.
“We’ll develop a detoxification pill for the miasma this time, set up a formation that can resist the miasma, and carry out cultivation to resist the miasma.”
“Oh, right.” Ji Qinglin nodded.” Your brain is indeed different from ours. We only want to improve our own strength, but we never thought of reducing others ‘strength. Wonderful! Wonderful!”
‘Are you Saiyans…’
Jiang Beiran could not help but grumble inwardly. However, he felt that this kind of one-track mind was a common problem among cultivators. It seemed that only by relying on cultivation and strength could one win against the other party. If one used other means to assist, they would be considered despicable.
“Continue.” Seeing Jiang Beiran stunned, Ji Qinglin hurriedly urged.
“I…For the time being, I can only think of this, but just this alone is probably enough to keep all the seniors busy for a while.”
“It’s better to be busy than not. Alright, I’ll listen to your arrangements this time.”Ji Qinglin looked at Wan Anqing and said,””Does Old Master Wan have any objections?”
