Capítulo 1873: Chapter 1872: A Worthy Death, Inside Flame Mountain

“They dare not kill you; you were sent by me and represent me.

Unless they no longer wish to live,” Xu Zimei said calmly.

The Wronged Soul nodded slightly.

Started to take action.

“The letter I asked you to deliver, did you deliver it?” Xu Zimei asked again.

“It’s already been delivered,” the Wronged Soul hurriedly nodded.

Said, “The Monster Race’s contact informed us that we’ll have news within two days at most.”

“Although the Monster Race cannot establish a Teleportation Array with Chang’an, they do have a teleportation barrier.”

Unlike a teleportation array which can teleport beings, a teleportation barrier can only send letters and messages.

Its function is limited, suitable only for simple communication.

Xu Zimei nodded.

Two days isn’t long, and as for the Heavenly Court’s stance, he doesn’t worry about it.

Because once the Monster Race submits to Great Qin, Great Qin will naturally handle the pressure resolutely.

Moreover, there is another matter.

……

That night, Xu Zimei slept very comfortably.

Since there wasn’t much happening in Chang’an City, Xu Zimei took the opportunity to return to Yao Pond in the Nine Domains.

Inside Flame Mountain, a storm was about to break.

The atmosphere was very oppressive.

Red flames crackled and exploded.

Xu Zimei found Zhao Guangrong, the Vein Leader of the Cold Ice Lineage.

Seeing Xu Zimei, Zhao Guangrong felt somewhat relieved.

Laughed, “You’ve been in seclusion, and since there wasn’t anything important, I didn’t send anyone to disturb you.”

Xu Zimei nodded and asked, “How is the Monster Race on their side?”

“A large force of the Monster Race has already set off from the Cangxuan Realm.

But the Monster Race did not attack immediately.

They are investigating the terrain while forming alliances with other forces,” Zhao Guangrong sighed.

Yao Pond can ally with other forces to resist the Monster Race, and the Monster Race can do the same.

Especially with the impending collapse, everyone wants a bite of this tempting fat meat, Yao Pond.

Once Yao Pond cannot be defended, it’s almost unimaginable to believe the scene that will unfold after defeat.

Some forces are willing to assist Yao Pond, while others have joined the Monster Race.

It’s clear that the Monster Race has come aggressively this time.

Xu Zimei knows that something must have happened between Yao Pond and the Monster Race, something unknown.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have escalated to such a serious conflict.

But neither side has revealed anything, so everyone remains unaware.

“Approximately when will the enemy attack?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Based on the intelligence we have, at most seven days, and Sixteen Monster Races will emerge.”

Zhao Guangrong said.

“Leading them is their proxy Demon King, Qing Zhuo.”

It is widely known that among the Sixteen Monster Races, there is currently no true Demon King.

Because everyone is unconvinced.

Ever since the previous Demon King fell ten thousand years ago, this position has remained undecided.

Everyone wants to become the new Demon King; this time might be the opportunity.

“I will probably need to shut myself off for a few more days. If anything happens, have someone notify me immediately,” Xu Zimei said.

“I understand,” Zhao Guangrong nodded.

After Xu Zimei left, Ancestor Qianshuang, who had been silent at the back, finally spoke: “Is this person reliable?”

“Since he’s sent by the Queen Lord, there should be no problem,” Zhao Guangrong said.

“When it rains, it pours,” Ancestor Qianshuang sighed.

“Let’s hope we can survive this calamity.”

Zhao Guangrong’s eyes flashed with intense flames, saying: “As long as we endure this catastrophe, our Yao Pond may replace one of the Nine Domains.

Become a dominant ruler.

Why should we be confined to this corner of Kunlun?”

After meeting Zhao Guangrong, Xu Zimei also took the opportunity to see siblings Wang Ya and Wang Ze.

Wang Ya was very happy.

“Brother Xu, everyone says you were in seclusion; we had no way to find you.”

Wang Ze complained.

Xu Zimei smiled and asked, “Indeed, I had some matters to attend to in seclusion. Do you have any business with me?”

“We don’t really have anything; mainly Grandpa Wang wants to see you and discuss some matters,” Wang Ya said.

Xu Zimei nodded.

He asked Wang Ya and Wang Ze to lead the way.

Since Flame Mountain is closely related to Five Elements Mountain, the formation here is the Five Elements Array.

Grandpa Wang guards the main focal point and rarely leaves.

This place is of great importance.

When Xu Zimei arrived here, he saw a path leading to the depths below, at the center of Flame Mountain.

The flames burned fiercely all around the path; ordinary people couldn’t enter.

Wang Ya stood at the entrance, shouting, “Grandpa Wang, we brought Brother Xu to see you.”

As the voice fell, the flames began to flutter vigorously.

From deep within the flames, a lotus flower slowly floated out.

The lotus flower bloomed, revealing three seats.

Xu Zimei and the others sat upon the lotus, protected from both water and fire, feeling very comfortable.

“Brother Xu, Grandpa Wang says, if war begins, we can hide beneath the flames,” Wang Ya said.

“If defeat comes, he wants us to follow you.”

“What’s wrong?” Xu Zimei asked, seeing their reluctance.

“If our family is destroyed, we should share life and death with Yao Pond, not survive in disgrace,” Wang Ze said.

His face was full of determination, entirely unafraid of death.

“But if you’re all dead, who will avenge Yao Pond?” Xu Zimei retorted.

“There’s Brother Xu,” Wang Ze replied.

“I’m not a part of Yao Pond, and the reason I’m helping is due to my transaction with the Queen of the West,” Xu Zimei shook his head.

“If Yao Pond is annihilated, it has nothing to do with me.”

Upon hearing this, the mood of the two siblings became heavy.

Xu Zimei comforted them, “Enough, overthinking is pointless; you haven’t reached that stage yet.

It’s just unnecessary worry.”

The lotus continued to descend; the flames decreased but the scorching heat increased.

The flames inside were no longer red or purple but turning toward a world-ending black.

In the center of this fire, Grandpa Wang sat cross-legged.

An ordinary person couldn’t feel it, but Xu Zimei could sense it.

Grandpa Wang was now fused with the entire Flame Mountain.

Every move he made could decide the fate of the mountain.

Xu Zimei dared not approach.

Because invisibly, Grandpa Wang was surrounded by a formation.

If he approached carelessly and damaged the formation, the consequences would be severe.

“Young Friend Xu has arrived,” Grandpa Wang laughed.

He opened his eyes, and two flames pierced through void and flashed.

“Daoist Friend Wang, are you accustomed?” Xu Zimei asked.

“I’m just an old bag of bones, how could I talk about being accustomed or not,” Grandpa Wang laughed.

“Being able to offer my last strength at a critical moment in Yao Pond is my fortune.

It’s better than dying of old age in the end.”

“You won’t die, Grandpa,” Wang Ya hurriedly said.

“Everyone will die, but what matters is dying for a cause,” Grandpa Wang laughed heartily.

He seemed to have come to terms with life and death.

Moreover, facing the disaster at Yao Pond, Grandpa Wang knew he was unlikely to survive.

“Daoist Friend Wang, what do you need from me?” Xu Zimei asked.
