At this very moment, everyone in the Penglai Immortal Realm was in a state of extreme anxiety.
"What to do! What to do! All my immortal coins are almost gone... Even hundreds of Water Blossom Leaves a day aren't enough!"
Zhao Yinman paced back and forth in the main hall, muttering to herself incessantly.
In contrast, almost none of the other people in the main hall seemed anxious.
"What's wrong with you guys? Why aren't you worried at all? The evil energy is already spreading. Before long, this place will become the source of the evil tide!"
Ling Fengxue shook her head and began to advise,
"There's no use in you being anxious. It's just a tidal wave, it won't get too big... Besides, we've already built barriers around here, and no creatures are going to get through. Even when the tidal wave spreads, there's still plenty of space to evacuate. There's no need to be so anxious, is there?"
Hearing Ling Fengxue's words, Zhao Yinman's face fell.
"Are you guys really that calm? There are still two Immortal Emperors besieging us outside! If this formation is broken, we'll all be dead!"
Li Qinghe sighed.
"Ye Feng said that this formation is connected to his life, and as long as he is safe, the formation will not break."
"What if he dies?"
Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent.
After a moment, Mu Yufeng said leisurely,
"Then we'll go with him!"
After saying that, he also picked up his teacup and took a sip.
That made sense, and Zhao Yinman immediately fell silent.
Strictly speaking, she was also a general who fought against the evil tide.
But those confrontations were nothing compared to the breathtaking thrill of facing the evil tree head-on now.
If the first evil tree hadn't been dealt with in time, and the formation hadn't automatically isolated it, we probably would have been finished by the time the second and third evil trees were thrown over.
They didn't need to scramble for immortal coins to survive for thirty-five years.
But things aren't much better now.
There are still two Celestial Emperors outside...
The sealing of Penglai's formation was a significant matter that naturally could not be kept secret from those who were interested.
The Eastern Emperor and the Yuan Chen Emperor immediately dispatched several Immortal Kings to test the waters.
After a year of provocations and attacks, with no movement from within the formation, these two finally revealed themselves.
Only these two were the ones; the others remained wary and dared not follow.
The island then experienced a period of "internal strife"...
Fortunately, before Ye Feng left, he set the formation to suppress those above the Celestial Immortal level tenfold and those above the Immortal King level a hundredfold.
Conversely, he granted partial authority to the Jade Cauldron Three Immortals and the Lieyuan Golden Immortal. Although they couldn't manipulate the formation, their ability to mobilize the power of laws was doubled.
In addition, through countless years of pilgrimages in secluded places, the four of them have all improved their cultivation levels considerably, which is why they were able to suppress the internal strife without suffering any damage.
“My father-in-law is not dead. He must be somewhere right now, working hard for the future of the Immortal Realm. We should do everything we can to help him stabilize the rear and wait for his return!”
The sect leader once said, "As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a virtuous person should constantly strive for self-improvement." Each of us is our own god; we should strive for self-improvement, not entrust our future to the sect leader alone! If we cannot even do this, we are not worthy to follow the sect leader!
Zhang Xiaofan rarely spoke, because whenever he did, he would refer to himself as "Sect Leader" or "Father-in-law," which would make everyone laugh.
But at this moment, saying these words undoubtedly gave everyone a shot in the arm.
Even Ye Ting, who often rolled her eyes at him, couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at him.
Li Qinghe, Mu Yufeng, Yang Dan, and the others exchanged smiles, as if they had returned to the period when they needed to fight desperately for their lives.
However, given the current conditions... they hardly need to struggle; they just need to manage the people in these six enclaves.
Everyone was momentarily lost in memories, when a male voice rang out again in the hall.
"Um... sisters-in-law, actually I have two ways that might be able to contact my elder brother..."
Upon hearing this, everyone cast surprised glances at him.
The one speaking was Chen Xin's man, Fang Yuan.
Chen Xin has always believed that she is not Ye Feng's sister... Besides, she has never seen Ye Feng in all the years she has been here.
So even though the "sisters-in-law" arranged for her to be in a central position, she rarely spoke, which was also a stern warning to Fang Yuan not to speak.
But seeing how anxious everyone was, Fang Yuan couldn't help but speak up.
"Brother-in-law, there's no need for formalities. Now that we're sitting here, we're all family. Please, just say what you need to say!"
Seeing Chen Xin pulling at Fang Yuan again, Li Qinghe said directly,
Nothing is more important than contacting Ye Feng right now. Even if Fang Yuan is an outsider, she has to hear what his solution is!
"Ahem! This first method... might be a bit disrespectful, but I..."
Fang Yuan coughed, hesitating as if he wanted to speak but couldn't, and stammered...
Before Li Qinghe could speak, Chen Xin kicked her.
"Just say it, why are you taking so long?"
"Then I'll tell you! My plan is... to get the sisters-in-law injured!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically, and Chen Xin immediately stood up to hit him.
"I... someone as strong as my elder brother would definitely sense if his close relatives were injured. I'm not just making this up!"
This argument is quite reasonable and well-founded.
But Li Qinghe and the others knew that it probably wouldn't work.
If Ye Feng were still in this realm, after these decades, he should have known about the commotion here long ago.
If he weren't in this realm... he wouldn't have received any response when the bamboo sword died.
"Please wait a moment, sister... let your husband explain the second method!"
Li Qinghe stopped Chen Xin's actions and let Fang Yuan continue.
Fang Yuan tidied her hair slightly and continued with the second method.
"Currently, there are nearly a million ascension platforms on the Dragon Soul Continent... We, Penglai, have always provided resources to the mortal realm free of charge. All we ask for is the erection of statues and the promotion of our elder brother's greatness..."
The wind and snow frowned.
This matter was kept absolutely secret in Penglai.
But Fang Yuan, being on the Dragon Soul Continent, had come into contact with countless ascendants and naturally knew...
“What I’m trying to say is that there’s no reason why our elder brother is doing this. If I’m not mistaken, he’s probably collecting faith… Since he can collect faith, why don’t we build an altar and pray to him in the form of sacrifices?”
? ? ?
This was indeed a novel idea. The group exchanged glances, feeling it was worth a try.
"Daoyan is an expert in this area, so why don't we leave the arrangements to him?"
Lieyuan Jinxian turned to ask Li Qinghe for his opinion.
Li Qinghe sighed.
"Then let's give it a try..."
"No...that won't do either!"
Just then, a somewhat hoarse voice rang out in the hall.
Everyone turned around and saw Ye Feng sitting high at the head of the hall, looking very tired as he spoke to them.
"Thank you all for your hard work these past few days. Now, get back to your work!"
After everyone left, leaving only Li Qinghe, Mu Yufeng, and a few others,
Ye Feng's appearance gradually changed.
His once handsome and extraordinary appearance was now marred by sunken eyes and a pale face.
Before anyone could speak, he waved and smiled.
"I'm fine, I just need some rest... I went for a trip to the Netherworld and almost messed things up!"
