“The ti stated in the ssage is twelve hours from now. I am going to summon other cultivators to discuss the deploynt of defense for tonight.” The mayor said again. “Two hours beforehand, all shops in the town will be closed, and I will also order ordinary residents to hide. Two guests, please be hurry.”
“I understand.” ng Qi nodded, “Thank you.”
She handed one of the tokens to Ji Wujiong, turned around, and walked out of the inn. On the streets outside, the town still looked as lively as before. These ordinary residents had no idea what was going to happen tonight and were walking around with a smile.
ng Qi quickly figured out what she needed to prepare. First, a lot of dicines to cure poisons. In addition, she should also refine so insect repellents. Since the sect was called ‘Tengshe’ (Teng snake), they probably also controlled many venomous snakes, which ant that dicines that could inhibit snake venom or repel snakes would be necessary.
Because the opponents were originally spell cultivators, she also needed to prepare dicines that could cure both external and internal injuries, plus injuries caused by unusual thods.
On top of that, her own small reserves of aura were a big problem. The Beiming pills she personally refined had been running out, so she had to buy more ready-made Beiming pills.
But even so…
ng Qi stood outside a dicinal material shop and cast her glance across the entire town. When she looked over from the mountain just now, she didn’t think this town was big. But now that she was in the position to defend it, she knew that her ability and cultivation base alone was far from enough to take care of the entire town.
Normally, more than one hundred dical cultivators would co each year for the Grand Tournant. With a town this small, one hundred dical cultivators mostly at Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage would be enough.
But now, there were only the two of them….
ng Qi turned her head and looked at Ji Wujiong. The black-robed man stood next to her with an obvious cold and mocking smile. His gaze was gloomy, and no pity could be seen in those dark blue eyes.
ng Qi: “…”
Looking very unreliable indeed!
“Cannot think of a good solution?” Ji Wujiong raised an eyebrow. He was taller than ng Qi, and he also happened to be standing on the steps on the inn’s front gate, which made him looked down at the girl.
“I have a way…” Ji Wujiong said again slowly. Then he paused on purpose, waiting for ng Qi to respond.
ng Qi’s eyes glinted, and a crazy idea suddenly flashed through her mind. She looked at Ji Wujiong, who had the words ‘Co and beg for my help! If you do that, I will tell you!’ clearly written on his face.
“Just now, the mayor said…” ng Qi murmured. “…that it’s enough as long as we can protect this Fengyu Town.”
“Yes.” Ji Wujiong was taken aback, but he nodded.
“I am a dical cultivator, and people who enter this barrier are usually also dical cultivators.” ng Qi said. “If there are enough dical cultivators in the Nascent Soul or Golden Core stage, then there should be no problem to defend this place.”
Ji Wujiong’s gaze suddenly beca a little complicated as he looked at ng Qi deeply. The corners of his lips that were slightly raised slowly flattened down.
“With only two people, even if we have three hands and six arms, there is no way to guarantee that we can give a tily treatnt to all cultivators throughout the city.” ng Qi continued. “Once there is a gap, Tengshe Sect will invade. If the rescue is late, it is very likely that innocent residents will die as a result, not to ntion the casualties among the cultivators who fight on the frontline.”
“If that’s so, then we should ask the exact goal of this mission.” Ji Wujiong responded lazily. “Maybe it’s enough if the mayor doesn’t die, or probably we are just supposed to protect an important place.” He looked at ng Qi and expressed his opinions casually: “Then we can abandon other places and focus on protecting the main objection. If it is just a certain person or certain place, we can prepare an array around it. I guess this test won’t last for so long. We should prepare to hold on until the dayti, or probably one full day at the most.”
ng Qi was dumbfounded. She obviously didn’t expect Ji Wujiong to say sothing like this. “Then what about the soldiers on the gate and the residents of the town? Are we completely going to abandon them? Just now, the mayor said that Tengshe Sect is coming to slaughter the whole town.”
“ng Qi.” Ji Wujiong said coldly. “Here is the barrier created inside the dical holy land as the venue for the Grand Tournant. What do you think of the residents here? That mayor and all of those people aren’t real. Why do you need to care so much? They probably cannot even feel pain when they die.”
“No!” ng Qi said firmly: “I won’t agree!”
“Heh—” Ji Wujiong sneered, “An unfounded kindness will only bring more tragic consequences.”
ng Qi glared: ” You also said that this is a barrier created inside the dical holy land! Let tell you…” ng Qi paused. She stared at Ji Wujiong’s eyes and said solemnly: “The one who created this place is an ancient great power from tens of thousands of years ago. Even though their inheritance has been broken, even if people can no longer reproduce their glory… so things will never change. As the test from the holy land of dical cultivators, it is absolutely impossible to pass it by sacrificing the lives of the innocent. Equally so, it is impossible to pass the test by watching people die without trying to save them.”
ng Qi paused again and then slowly said: “Neither will I do such a thing, no matter in what situation.”
Ji Wujiong folded his arms in front of his chest and sneered: “Since you are so compassionate and unwilling to let them die, then what are you going to do?”
ng Qi took a deep breath, her eyes brightened: “Since we still have twelve hours to prepare, we can rush out to find enough materials to set up arrays on the road Tengshe Sect people will use to get here.”
There was a bit of murderous intent in ng Qi’s tone, contrasting her youthful and beautiful appearance. As she stood in front of Ji Wujiong, the wind blew past, blowing her long hair and blue robe.
When she spoke again, her delicate little face was firm with determination: “Before they can get here, we will finish them off!”
