Chapter 1049: Chapter 1021: The Elders’ Apprehension

The green mountains and clear waters here are a completely different world.

Compared to the outside world, this place can indeed be considered a Spirit Land.

Of course, the Spiritual Energy here refers to this place’s energy.

This is the relic, the second layer.

"Really, can’t it be done?" Wang Qianqian’s face was a bit gloomy. Sitting in front of her were Second Grandfather and Fourth Grandfather.

"It can’t be done." Second Grandfather shook his head.

Seeing the disappointed look on Wang Qianqian’s face, Fourth Grandfather couldn’t help but sigh and said, "Girl, it’s not that we don’t want to help, but right now, we simply can’t."

"Why?" Wang Qianqian was full of confusion: "Hasn’t the covenant already expired? According to the agreement, even you, Grandfather, can act now, so why can’t you help?"

Noting Wang Qianqian’s somewhat agitated tone, Fourth Grandfather gestured with his hand, and then softly said, "We also want to help. However, though the covenant has ended, something else is still constraining us."

He pointed upwards: "Once we take action, some other guys will also step in."

"Girl, believe me, our enemies are far more terrifying than you imagine." Second Grandfather said lightly, "Once we take action, those guys will also move. At that time, it might lead to a real war."

"Once that happens, it would not be just a simple Earth Level issue."

Hearing the words of the two grandfathers, Wang Qianqian fell silent. She knew they wouldn’t deceive her.

If they could intervene, as Li Chen’s grandfathers, they certainly wouldn’t stand by and watch Li Chen’s hard work go to waste.

But hearing their words, Wang Qianqian couldn’t help but fall silent.

She didn’t know how strong the ’those people’ mentioned by the two grandfathers were, but after cultivating for so long, she had gradually learned that the Li Family seemed to have many enemies years ago.

And the four grandfathers were the backbone of the Li Family. If they acted, those enemies...

Nodding, Wang Qianqian didn’t say more, turned around, and walked out of the small cabin.

Looking at the little crocodile Xiaojia crawling towards the shore, Wang Qianqian’s face showed some melancholy.

"Am I really so useless that I can’t even protect the things left by Brother Chen?" While gently stroking the broad back of the crocodile, the girl murmured to herself.

At that moment, a somewhat cold voice suddenly came from behind Wang Qianqian.

"Whether you can protect it or not, there are some things you have to try to know."

Wang Qianqian was startled, then turned her head, only to find a girl with an indifferent face, standing behind her without her noticing.

"An Qin, you..."

"I’ve come out of closed-door cultivation." An Qin said softly.

As she approached Wang Qianqian, An Qin’s face was still so indifferent, but her words were completely different from her expression.

"Li Chen taught me some principles. He once told me that in one’s life, there will always be many things that seem impossible to do."

"But those seemingly impossible things are just a blinding technique, if you don’t actually try, you’ll never know the result. What’s the saying? Practice is the only standard for testing truth. Hmm, I think that’s how it goes."

Hearing An Qin’s words, Wang Qianqian couldn’t help but have a peculiar expression, secretly glancing at An Qin, and it took quite an effort to suppress the smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Hmm, you’re right, without trying, how would you know if it can be done?"

However, after listening to An Qin’s words, Wang Qianqian indeed felt much better.

"Sister Qing, are you going to continue closed-door cultivation?" Wang Qianqian asked.

The longsword in her hand moved slightly, An Qin’s voice remained calm: "I’ve come out, so I need to do something too."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qianqian was startled.

With An Qin’s words, her stance was clearly shown.

This time, she was also going to take action.

Having been in closed-door cultivation for so long, to what extent had An Qin’s strength reached?

Even Wang Qianqian couldn’t help but be a bit curious.

She walked a path different from An Qin’s, so even face to face, she couldn’t perceive An Qin’s current strength. Although she could barely sense An Qin’s current cultivation, true combat power was not solely determined by cultivation level.

Li Chen himself had already proven this.

"Catherine, how’s the situation outside?"

As soon as she emerged from the relic, Wang Qianqian immediately contacted Catherine.

"It’s a bit troublesome. Although we’ve rescued people, both William and Heishou were seriously injured." Catherine’s voice was somewhat grave: "Many strong enemies were sent this time. Moreover, with the covenant constraints lifted, we have fewer means at our disposal."

"Understood," Wang Qianqian nodded, "I’ve come out now, heading straight to the base."

"Alright..." Catherine agreed but hesitated a bit.

"Unfortunately, I couldn’t bring those old folks out this time. They can’t come out just yet, or it would cause even bigger trouble," Wang Qianqian naturally knew what Catherine wanted to ask, so she explained proactively.

Catherine was a bit taken aback, but then she understood.

As the brains behind the Palace of the Nether King, Catherine’s reaction speed was naturally even faster than Wang Qianqian’s. Even before Wang Qianqian finished, Catherine had roughly figured out why those elders were unwilling to come out.

In fact, from the very beginning, she didn’t hold much hope, because if every trouble relied on those elders, the Nether Army wouldn’t be able to grow.

The two exchanged a few more words, and then Catherine voluntarily hung up the phone.

Turning back, addressing the Nether Army generals behind her, Catherine said solemnly, "All units prepare, gather personnel, we need to be ready to counterattack."

"These guys have been pressing us for so long, they might really think of us as cowards. Now is the perfect time to strike back!"

"Wang Qianqian will soon arrive with An Qin, adding two main combat forces to our side. With careful planning, we can deliver them a heavy blow, even against that group!"

"Yes!"

The Nether Army generals stood up in unison.

They had been oppressed by the Lan Family for an entire month, and their hearts were filled with pent-up anger.

However, at that moment, a shrill voice suddenly came from outside the base.

"Enemy attack!!"

"Enemy attack!!"

In an instant, alarm bells rang from all four directions of the base.

The faces of everyone in the meeting room changed dramatically.
