Chapter 1615: Chapter 1614: No Way Out!
"That’s right."
Qin Feng nodded and said, "On the Heavenly Mountain Snow Peak!"
Upon hearing this, Shuiyun Immortal was even more surprised, looking Qin Feng up and down, she said, "Truly the Yangtze River’s new waves push the old waves ahead. Back in the day, thirteen top-tier powers could only barely seal it, and I can’t believe you destroyed it."
The other eleven Wanderers also looked at Qin Feng with extreme astonishment.
They knew the power of the Ksitigarbha Demon and couldn’t believe that Qin Feng was so strong.
"There was an element of luck."
Qin Feng said modestly.
If he hadn’t gone to the Upper Realm and cultivated for ten days in the Purple Cloud Palace, and if he hadn’t lacked the Pristine Immortal Body to absorb the Ghost Energy of the Red-eyed Ghost King and ten thousand Ghost Soldiers, he wouldn’t have been able to eliminate the Ksitigarbha Demon.
Of course, luck is also a part of strength.
"By the way, it’s rumored that if the seven Energy Barytes of the Seven Stars Formation used to suppress the Ksitigarbha Demon can be found, it opens the gate to Kunlun Mist Cloud. Did you destroy the Ksitigarbha Demon for this reason?" Shuiyun Immortal asked.
Qin Feng didn’t expect the rumor to have spread here.
But on second thought, if it hadn’t reached here, the Mist Cloud Mountain wouldn’t have the Mountain Guardian Elder waiting for someone to open the gate either.
Qin Feng nodded and said, "Yes, my goal was indeed to open the gate to Kunlun Mist Cloud."
With those words.
A glint of light flickered in Shuiyun Immortal’s eyes, and everyone around, including Hall Master Luo Jinhong, all widened their eyes at him.
"If it is true, then we can mobilize many people from the outside. With a large number of human bodies, we can better exert our strength and fight against the Heavenly Destiny Sect once more!" the Four Great Guardians exclaimed excitedly.
The Eight Great Vajra were also individually invigorated.
Even the elders who were wavering earlier and contemplating surrender were now feeling unsettled.
"Heaven, do not let us perish!"
Luo Jinhong flung her robe with compelling momentum and said to Shuiyun Immortal, "Now, you can go to the outside world and call in more bodies, and we will fight the Heavenly Destiny Sect once more!"
"No!"
At this moment, Qin Feng intervened and said, "Although the gate is open, we cannot let people from outside come in."
"Why?" Luo Jinhong asked.
Shuiyun Immortal and the others looked at him with curiosity.
Qin Feng explained again what the Mountain Guardian Elder had told him.
Given the current situation, if outsiders were to come in, their first choice would not be to join the Demon Suppression Hall but rather the more promising Heavenly Destiny Sect, which would not be worthwhile.
"It’s okay, I have some connections with peak organizations in the world, and surely they will help," Shuiyun Immortal said.
"No."
Qin Feng gave a bitter smile and said, "I’m afraid you don’t know the situation outside, do you? The outside world... is also experiencing the most critical moment in history. We came here to resolve a crisis, and truly can’t spare people to come here."
After saying this, he asked Unrivaled to briefly narrate the situation of Earth World.
Shuiyun Immortal and the other eleven Wanderers frowned as they listened.
After all, Earth World is their world.
Since coming here, they have been entirely cut off from the outside, with no contact whatsoever.
Joining the Demon Suppression Hall was also an indirect way to protect their homeland.
Otherwise, if the Heavenly Destiny Sect obtained the "Dragon Root," they would eventually break out from here and restore their bodies at the cost of billions of lives.
Hearing now that the outside world is not only in the middle of a war but also on the brink of catastrophe made everyone feel uneasy.
Luo Jinhong remained silent upon hearing this.
It was a dilemma.
Initially, Qin Feng opening the gate to Kunlun Mist Cloud seemed like a big opportunity, a chance to turn the tide.
Now it seemed that the newfound hope had been extinguished once again.
At the same time, it also made the Twelve Wanderers anxious.
"Alas, I’ve said all along that our ultimate return should be to submit to the Heavenly Destiny Sect, not to think about messy things. It’s all useless..." the Silver-haired Elder lamented, looking troubled.
This time, the Four Great Guardians, Eight Great Vajra, and others also appeared gloomy.
It seemed.
There was indeed no way out...
"Whether to live or die! The Demon Suppression Hall will not succumb to demons! Nor will it survive in the world at the cost of billions of lives, for that would be a disgrace!"
Luo Jinhong said firmly.
A resolute determination to face death could be seen in her eyes.
Witnessing this, the silver-haired elder and others smacked their lips and asked, "Hall Master, can we choose to leave the Demon Suppression Hall?"
"Yes! We weren’t originally part of the Demon Suppression Hall."
"We initially joined the Demon Suppression Hall because we suffered a beating from the Heavenly Destiny Sect. If surrendering means no more battle, why shouldn’t we surrender?"
"Yes! We don’t have such high aspirations; we just want to live..."
"..."
Many sighed and pleaded.
Luo Jinhong’s expression was complex.
There was nothing she could do.
She had no right to demand that others die with her.
All she could do was exercise her own rights.
She also didn’t want these people to survive in the world at the cost of billions of lives.
But to kill them?
After all, they had followed her for ten thousand years, how could she bear it?
At this moment.
She truly didn’t know what to say.
Just then.
Qin Feng spoke from the side, "Surrender if you want! Even if you do, you won’t survive."
"Why?" someone asked.
"It’s simple!"
Qin Feng shrugged and said, "Do the math. How many people are there in the Earth World? Let’s say seven billion? To restore a single body requires millions of lives. Even if you killed all seven billion people in the Earth World, not even all members of the Heavenly Destiny Sect could have their bodies restored. Do you think they’d leave that chance for you who surrendered? Too naive..."
"..."
Upon saying this, the Silver-haired Elder and others were stunned.
It seemed...
There was a bit of reasoning there.
"Indeed,"
Qin Feng continued, "as far as I know, the Soul-devouring Demon of the Heavenly Destiny Sect is currently devouring residual souls on a large scale. Maybe if you surrender, you’ll become his meal."
"..."
The Silver-haired Elder and others were once again taken aback.
They knew full well about the Soul-devouring Demon.
Once consumed by him, one truly dies...
For a moment.
The entire hall fell silent.
Those clamoring to surrender were also at a loss.
One person, still somewhat defiant, said, "I have a high cultivation level; if I surrender, I can be considered valuable. They should give me a chance if they restore bodies..."
"But there’s also a high chance of being the first consumed by the Soul-devouring Demon. After all, with your high cultivation, it would be beneficial to consume the higher cultivation first."
Qin Feng said calmly.
"..."
The person was once again at a loss for words.
This time, the entire hall remained in silence for a long time.
Luo Jinhong, at this point looking at Qin Feng, displayed an unusual expression, even perhaps of some admiration...
