Chapter 1375 - Chapter 1375 Chapter 667 Chengzhou Crisis

Chapter 1375: Chapter 667: Chengzhou Crisis Chapter 1375: Chapter 667: Chengzhou Crisis “Weren’t we told that no one could track the return route, so how come the warriors from the King Realm are already at our door!?”

Yun Xiang’s temples bulged with veins, and his reddened neck throbbed as he gripped the Boundary Master’s collar and demanded fiercely.

“Elder Yun Xiang, put down the master.”

Yun Ji said faintly, his face pale.

“But, Clan Leader…”

“I said, put him down.”

Noticing the finality in the clan leader’s tone, Yun Xiang huffed and released his grip, retreating to one side with a scowl.

The Boundary Master, barely back on his feet, had not even had time to thank Yun Ji before seeing the pale-faced Yun Family clan leader already standing before him.

Hands devoid of color yet long and slender touched his neck with such a cold touch that he dared not move.

“Master Liu, we’ve reached a critical juncture for the survival of the Yun Clan,”

Yun Ji said faintly, straightening the Boundary Master’s crumpled collar: “I need you to prepare for the next void drift within three days.”

“Three days, how could that be possible!?”

The Boundary Master began to object, only to feel the icy hands on his neck tighten, as if a force had locked around his throat.

Looking up, Yun Ji’s eyes were full of madness and ferocity, like a wild beast devoid of all reason.

I’m going to die!

He’s going to kill me!

Fearful for his life, the Boundary Master’s legs trembled as he stammered out an explanation: “Spare me, Clan Leader, it’s not that I do not wish to do it, but it’s simply impossible!”

“The Minor Spiritual Realm is already an unstable space, balanced only by the Spiritual Power contained within the Realm Heart, which ultimately comes from the Great Thousand World.”

“There are other spiritual realms that have undergone consecutive void drifts, but their fates were all tragically dire–either destroyed by chaotic currents or disintegrated in the void. To activate it would mean a nine in ten chance of death!”

“So, there is, after all, a way to undergo the void drift, isn’t there.”

Yun Ji keenly seized the key point in the Boundary Master’s words and said faintly.

“Madman, you’re a madman! Do you want everyone in the Longyuan Minor Spiritual Realm to be buried with your insanity?”

The Boundary Master shouted.

“A nine in ten chance of death means there is still a chance of life. Staying here is certain death.”

Yun Ji patted the Boundary Master’s smoothed collar and said faintly: “I know that as a valuable Boundary Master like you, the Dutian Heavenly King Realm wouldn’t have the heart to kill you, because they need you to help them adjust the Realm Heart, to manage the Spirit Realm. That’s why, of course, you wouldn’t want to undergo the void drift. It’s just about changing masters, what does it matter. Isn’t that what you’re thinking, Master Kong?”

The Boundary Master’s face paled as his thoughts were laid bare, and he stuttered: “No… no… I… how could I dare to think that way, it’s the Yun Family that has brought me up to this day.”

“Is that so? Well, it seems you do have a conscience,”

Yun Ji clapped his hands: “Three days. If we cannot undertake a second void drift, then collapse the Realm Heart.”

“What!?”

The Boundary Master paled dramatically, waving his hands in denial: “No, no, no, Clan Leader, don’t do this, we still have a chance. Longyuan is an extraordinary Minor Spiritual Realm, and the spirit-sealing formation crafted by Yun Zu himself is unbreakably strong. Just close the Spirit Realm Gate, cut off the external Spiritual Energy supply, and we can keep the enemy at bay.”

“What if the King Realm comes knocking?”

Yun Ji said with a smile, patting the Boundary Master’s cold cheek: “So, the time has come for you to show your utmost loyalty to the Yun Clan. Three days from now, collapse the Realm Heart and bury all these King Realm hounds in the mountains.”

“Wait, wait! Team leader, wait!”

The Boundary Master grabbed Yun Ji’s hand in a hurry and said, “It’s possible, we can conduct a second drifting, as long as we move the battlefield into the Spirit Realm!”

“What did you just say!?”

Standing by, Yun Xiang became furious: “Do you know how many people have died just a few days ago for the sake of enabling our clan members to retreat back to the Minor Spiritual Realm, and now you just want to lead the enemy in!? Watch my palm…”

“Elder Yun Xiang, hold back.”

Yun Ji raised his hand to stop Yun Xiang, who was about to take action, and tilted his head towards the Boundary Master, “Continue.”

“Opening the Spirit Realm Gate is to allow the Realm Heart to absorb the Spiritual Energy of the Great Thousand World to recover its strength. But that’s not the only way.”

The Boundary Master looked timidly at Yun Xiang and spoke softly: “If there is Spiritual Energy dissipating into the Minor Spiritual Realm, the Realm Heart can absorb it.”

Yun Ji frowned and asked, “Dissipating into the Minor Spiritual Realm, what do you mean?”

“Martial artists dispersing their power, the clash of Spirit Arts, or… death.”

“How large a scale of battle would be required?”

“If it’s all warriors from the Fierce Realm, about a hundred would suffice!”

This number made Yun Ji’s face darken; even with a two to three confrontation, the Yun Clan would need at least forty Fierce Realm warriors.

Yet now, the entire Yun Family, at best, had fewer than thirty. If they were to make up a hundred, it would mean having to fight two against one.

The Boundary Master, who was also aware of the number of masters in the Minor Spiritual Realm, quickly added: “Actually… it’s alright if we have slightly fewer people. The longer the battle, the better. Just two days, oh no, one day, and we can replenish the Realm Heart’s energy to perform the void drift!”

“Open the Spirit Realm Gate!”

“Clan leader…”

“Open the Spirit Realm Gate and notify the Wind Media outside to send a message with the utmost speed!”

Yun Ji spoke with a heavy voice: “The Yun Clan’s nation-staggering treasure trove and Yun Zu’s highly secretive legacy are all in the Longyuan Minor Spiritual Realm, returned from a thousand years of drifting. Those who desire them, come to Diancang Mountain in Chengzhou!”

“Activate the Cloud Concealing Great Formation, hide the entire clan territory underground, round up the warriors, and prepare to stake our lives!”

Longzhou Calendar, year 1780

September 2nd

Kunwu County, second day of the Heroes’ Challenge.

The Heroes’ Challenge Elite Selection Album, jointly released by several Wind Media Organizations, was accurately delivered into the hands of every representative of the major families.

For most of the families, their recruitment targets were never the top eight contenders but those powerful individuals who unfortunately could not rise to the very top.

These talents were the real gems in the eyes of the families; hence, upon receiving the selection album, they immediately filtered out disciples from sects and main branch disciples, focusing on those of no outstanding repute.

Among the group from Longxi, only two received such treatment: Master Lingyun and Ugly Yama.

The backgrounds of the five from Longxi had been thoroughly dug up by the Wind Media Organizations of Kunwu County and printed in the album.

The pride of Longxi naturally needs no introduction, and Tang Bin is definitely a direct descendant of the Tang Family; recruiting such individuals would be nothing but a pipe dream.

As for Xiao Ziyu, upon seeing so many unique flames concentrated on one person, they understood what the Fire-Stealing Grandmaster had been striving for over the past twenty years. To attempt recruitment would be futile.

That left only Master Lingyun and Ugly Yama. The former was practicing the unremarkable Spirit Arts of the Yun Family.

The latter was a Poison Spirit Body that popped up out of nowhere; though they were both working under Tang Luo, it was all for profit.

As long as it is for profit, then there is room to negotiate. After all, such warriors exceeding the Martial Ancestor level were exceptionally rare for any family.
