Chapter 923: Chapter 463: Ming Xi’s Opportunity

Little Eight told Long Dangdang that, when Ming Xi launched her attack, he couldn’t feel her soul fluctuation at all for a moment.

Not being able to sense a soul fluctuation meant what? Long Dangdang knew too well; it meant that at that moment, Ming Xi was probably close to death. Why did she come back to life later? It must be because she successfully killed the bone dragon. In other words, the cost of Ming Xi’s strike was likely her own life; if she hadn’t been able to kill the bone dragon, would she have died?

At this moment, Ming Xi had already begun her meditation, and it wasn’t a good time to interrupt. Long Dangdang suppressed his worries and quickly started meditating with his companions. It wasn’t the time to ask questions; they could only wait until after everyone had rested.

And with a wraith altar destroyed, it was like a keg of gunpowder had been ignited in the rear of the Wraith Empire. The powerful wraiths in Stone Gate City received the news immediately. Soon, the site of the once sunlit altar was swarmed by dozens of powerful wraiths.

Looking at the ruined wraith altar and then at the bright sunlight in the sky they deeply despised, every wraith’s Soul Flame flickered intensely in their eye sockets.

"Who is it? Humans have actually infiltrated. Search, no matter what, they must be found."

The next moment, incredibly powerful mental fluctuations instantly covered a radius of hundreds of kilometers, searching for any possible presence of life’s aura.

Under the effects of the Spirit Medicine and the array formation, Long Dangdang and his teammates rested for one hour. That was the maximum time they could recuperate here, as the Gently Absorb Slowly Regurgitate Spirit Furnace’s Slow Delay Domain could only shield them for so long before their aura would uncontrollably spread.

The group almost simultaneously woke up at the agreed time; the paleness had faded from the faces of Long Dangdang and Ling Menglu. They were the main force in this attack.

Long Dangdang looked at Ling Menglu and gave her an inquiring look, to which she nodded.

"Let’s go." Long Dangdang led the way out of the cave, followed by his teammates in single file. Without any pause, they immediately picked a direction and started moving.

Sacred Legate Spirit Crystal, Long Dangdang private messaged Ming Xi, "Ming Xi, was the cost of using the Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace your life? If we hadn’t been able to kill the bone dragon earlier, would you have..."

Sacred Legate Spirit Crystal, Ming Xi private messaged Long Dangdang, "Captain, you’re really observant, don’t worry, I’m fine."

Sacred Legate Spirit Crystal, Long Dangdang private messaged Ming Xi, "Ming Xi, even if we can no longer continue the mission, we have already destroyed a wraith altar. The safety of everyone is my top priority, do you understand?"

Sacred Legate Spirit Crystal, Ming Xi private messaged Long Dangdang, "Captain, I wasn’t being willful, but I had to do it. Otherwise, how could I keep up with everyone else? To me, falling behind is worse than death. My Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace and Chu Yu’s Cyclical Reincarnation Spirit Furnace have always been the two paramount spirit furnaces of the Assassins Temple. A thousand years ago, the Cyclical Reincarnation Spirit Furnace, along with that generation’s Cyclical Reincarnation Saintess Cai’er, who was Chairman Long Haochen’s wife, shone brilliantly and became widely known, surpassing the Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace as the first and strongest furnace of the Assassins Temple. Our Flash Assassin lineage has been suppressed ever since. It’s not that the Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace isn’t strong, but because its bearers have a high chance of dying. Later, peace was restored to the continent, and there was no opportunity for the Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace to fully evolve. The evolution of the Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace relies on killing. Moreover, it has to be a fight against a more powerful opponent to gain something. I really hate the feeling of becoming increasingly distant from you guys, and I really don’t want to be a burden to the team, so, when I returned to the Temple, I found my teacher and asked for help. My teacher later revealed to me the secret of the Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace. Using the Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace means sacrificing one’s own soul, but if you can kill the opponent, you can use the opponent’s soul to compensate. If the opponent’s strength is equal to mine, there’s no change; if the opponent’s strength is below mine, I still lose soul power; but if my opponent is stronger and has more soul power, then the extra soul energy will allow the Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace to evolve and nourish my own being. This is the only way for me to advance quickly. I hesitated before because I was also afraid of death. But now, I’ve made up my mind and firmly decided that becoming stronger is the only thing I want to do. I want to stay by everyone’s side as a strong support and also redeem the reputation of our Flash Assassin’s Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace, letting everyone know that our Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace is in no way inferior to the Cyclical Reincarnation Spirit Furnace."

Listening to Ming Xi’s explanation, Long Dangdang was silent. Frankly, if it had been him, seeing himself being left behind by his companions, he probably would have had the same thoughts. But what Ming Xi was doing was truly a risk, risking her own life.

After steadying his mind, Long Dangdang privately messaged Ming Xi again, "I understand your feelings, but you should have told us about this earlier. This isn’t just your affair. We are companions, and you shouldn’t have to bear the requirements for advancing the Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace alone; we should all be helping you. You’re right about one thing, facing the wraiths may indeed be an opportunity for the Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace."
