Chapter 702: Chapter 722: All Efforts Will Be Accounted For_1

Feng Jixin clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with anger.

He had been manipulated by a young and inexperienced brat!

Leaving in such a state was absolutely impossible now.

They had tried so hard to catch Qiao Wei off guard, and if they couldn’t take Bai Tao City, wouldn’t they become the joke of the town?

"Keep attacking! Let’s see how many Spirit Stones they can burn!"

Since Spiritual Fire was useless and staying near the spiritual energy shield meant getting hit by the cannon, people had no choice but to attack from the maximum distance their magical treasures and flying swords allowed, consuming the spiritual energy shield.

Lin Chen didn’t dare to approach these people, especially with Feng Jixin watching him like a tiger.

If he went, wouldn’t he be walking right into the net?

Since they were determined to spend so much time and effort bombarding, let them do it. Keeping them at a distance was already a good result.

Lin Chen flew back down on his flying sword to Gu Yuanjie.

Gu Yuanjie, Qingling and others all looked at Lin Chen with admiration and awe in their eyes.

Not long ago, Lin Chen had almost killed Nascent Soul stage expert Zhao Yutian and even disabled their proudest city-destroying Spiritual Fire. He was incredibly powerful!

Lin Chen asked, "If they bombard like this for a day, how many Spirit Stones would we need to consume?"

Gu Yuanjie replied, "If they were attacking at close range with intense bombing like before, I’m afraid even 10 million Spirit Stones wouldn’t be enough to hold on. But now that their attack has weakened, I estimate it should take about 5 million Spirit Stones to hold on for a day, maybe even less. After all, they can’t bombard non-stop for 24 hours, they need to rest and recover too."

Lin Chen nodded, "We’ll hold on. I’ll keep an eye on them. If they dare to approach, hit them with the Ling Stone Cannon. I don’t believe that those Nascent Souls and Golden Cores can withstand it as well as Feng Jixin."

Gu Yuanjie’s spirits uplifted, "Looking at the situation, as long as we have enough Spirit Stones, we can definitely hold on for ten days. It’s just that the consumption of Spirit Stones..."

Lin Chen laughed, "Let’s hold on for now. If it’s not enough, we’ll find another way. If we really can’t hold on, we’ll escape."

Although Lin Chen decided to defend the city, it was based on the premise that the Lingguang Array wouldn’t collapse. He was not prepared to fight Feng Jixin up close.

As a Golden Core cultivator, he was no match for Feng Jixin’s palm.

Gu Yuanjie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Chen’s words. He was worried that Lin Chen was determined to risk it all and take on insurmountable odds...

"Alright, if we can’t hold on, we’ll leave at night under the cover of darkness. With the fastest flying boat, we’ll have no problem escaping."

Lin Chen nodded.

And so, the matter was settled.

At noon, Situ Xiu came to Lin Chen and handed him several Spatial Rings filled with Spirit Stones.

"I’ve checked all the items you gave me, and they’re worth a total of 4.2 million. You have 13,150,000 Spirit Stones yourself, which adds up to 17,350,000. I have managed to scrape together another 7 million Spirit Stones, so here’s a total of 25 million for you."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, "Managed to scrape together? What’s the meaning of this 7 million?"

Situ Xiu smiled, "I’m also a disciple of Fei Pu Peak. Our Sect Leader wants to find a way out for everyone by taking Bai Tao City. Now that others are attacking our gates, if we’re powerless to resist, I’ll naturally lie low. But since there’s a way to defend, I should do my part."

"You just arrived but you’re willing to use your own Spirit Stones to help defend the city. I can’t just stand by and do nothing. Let’s not talk about the public cause, privately, you saved my life. Whatever you want to do, I’ll support you unconditionally."

"There are not many Spirit Stones left in everyone’s hands, but there are still some Spirit Stone cards. For now, this is all I could gather. I’m still trying to find more ways to get them. If it’s not enough, I’ll keep looking. I think it shouldn’t be a problem to gather another 10 million or so Spirit Stones."

Lin Chen laughed, "An unconditional offer?"

Situ Xiu laughed, "Of course, it’s unconditional. If the defense fails, we’ll go on the run with you guys. When we’re stronger, we’ll come back."

Lin Chen laughed, patted Situ Xiu’s arm, "Alright, thank you. I won’t be polite then. All the contributions made now will be accounted for in the future."

Situ Xiu said generously, "As long as you say so, I’ll listen to you."

After Situ Xiu left, Lin Chen handed the Spirit Stones to Gu Yuanjie. Gu Yuanjie was overjoyed and deeply moved, "I’m really useless as an acting City Lord. When real problems arise, I can’t even protect Bai Tao City and have to rely on your financial and personal contributions..."

Lin Chen laughed, "Don’t talk about that now. Let’s work together to get through this difficult time. It’s all thanks to the solid foundations you and the others have built by constructing these Lingguang Arrays. Even if we had infinite Spirit Stones, it would be useless without them."

Pausing, Lin Chen’s face showed a bit of mischief, "When you have nothing to do, gather some people to insult those guys, undermine their morale. After all, bombarding the shield in broad daylight without breaking it must be very frustrating. Let’s pour some oil on their flames..."
