Saint Qinglan felt incredibly unlucky.
He was clearly the first among all the saints to know Lu Ning, and they had a good relationship.
As a result, so many saints followed Lu Ning to the Ruins of Return and gained tremendous power, which he missed.
After Lu Ning brought back the resources, he was busy sending them all over the world.
Having finally found some peace and quiet and having cultivated for a short time, the headquarters of the Mist Bureau began to work on building an army of Awakened Ones.
Although Qinglan, as a saint, does not directly participate, there are some things that need to be done by him.
For example, sending a message or something.
Who told him to be a wind-type ability user, making him exceptionally fast?
Saint Qinglan was actually somewhat speechless, since there were clearly several guardians who could directly traverse space.
As a result, they took advantage of him, a weak, pitiful, and helpless saint.
Is this okay?
This is not good at all!
But he was weak, pitiful, and helpless, so he had no choice but to obediently be exploited.
With great difficulty, the army of awakened beings was finally assembled, and the number of human saints was increasing.
The Mist Bureau has a new plan that requires each base city to be equipped with at least three Saints.
Saint Qinglan immediately volunteered to serve as the director of the Mist Bureau in Base City 116.
Considering his relationship with Lu Ning, his application was quickly approved.
Saint Qinglan felt that she could finally relax for a while.
And what the hell? He'd only been enjoying a leisurely life for less than a year, and now the base city was almost captured?!
Are you kidding me?!
Saint Qinglan felt so angry she was about to vomit blood.
How could someone be so unlucky as to be like him?
Of course, the worst part is that among the monsters that attacked the base city this time, there was even a demigod-level one!
They have ten saints here, but Lu Ning isn't among them!
Previously, he and Lu Ning teamed up to deal with a phantom of the Yellow Spring Hand that was estimated to be not yet a Saint, and they found it extremely difficult. Lu Ning died many times.
Now he was facing a true demigod, and this mental fluctuation far surpassed that of the illusory Hand of the Underworld back then.
There's no Lu Ning here to risk his life for; how are they going to manage with just these ten Saints?
Soon, several figures arrived at Qinglan Saint's side at an extremely fast speed, including two members who had previously gone to explore the 233rd Mist with Lu Ning and Qinglan Saint.
Nan Yu and Gina.
The two were originally at the eighth level, but after several years of cultivation, their strength has improved considerably. In addition, the liquid spiritual energy that Lu Ning brought back three years ago has been distributed to each high-level awakener.
Therefore, both of them have made great progress in their abilities.
Not long ago, they both broke through to the Saint level. After accepting the invitation from Saint Qinglan, the two came to work in Base City 116.
At this moment, all the saints, including Nan Yu, had extremely solemn expressions and grim faces.
Gina asked, "Chief, what should we do? We're afraid we can't handle a demigod-level monster."
Saint Qinglan's expression kept changing. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Me, Old Li, and Old Kroll, the three of us will use the extremely dangerous single-use hazardous materials to try to lure that demigod-level monster out of the base city. The rest of you, help deal with the other monsters as soon as possible. If necessary, use the extremely dangerous single-use hazardous materials decisively to ensure the safety of the people!"
The expressions of all the saints changed slightly upon hearing Saint Qinglan's words.
Two of the elderly men had somber expressions.
They were Li Yue and Kroll, whom the Sage Qinglan had specifically called upon.
The two have been saints for many years and are quite old. Although they have used liquid spiritual power during this time, their strength has improved considerably.
However, it is probably no longer realistic to go any further.
Both of them understood that going with the Azure Mist Saint to lure the demigod was a mission they were destined to die on.
Regardless of how strong a demigod is, the side effects of using a single-use, extremely dangerous item are enough to render them almost incapable of fighting.
Having lost their fighting ability, they naturally could not escape the pursuit of the demigods.
However, since even the Director, Saint Qinglan, was with them, they naturally had no reason to refuse.
and……
They are not young anymore; the chance to live should be left to the younger generation.
With that liquid spiritual energy, these young people have limitless possibilities for the future; they are the hope.
What those old guys had to do was preserve this hope.
"Qinglan, the two of us are enough," Li Yue said calmly.
Kroll nodded slightly: "You and the people should escape together."
Saint Qinglan frowned.
Just as he was about to speak, two terrifying mental fluctuations spread out.
Everyone turned pale.
"Two more?! Damn it!" Li Yue's expression was extremely ugly.
Qinglan grinned and said with a smile, "It seems there's no need to argue now."
All the saints couldn't help but laugh.
They knew they might all die here today.
But they are saints, guardians of humanity, and faced with the demigods of the mist, they have no option to retreat.
A group of saints took to the air, about to fly towards the three demigods.
Just then, another powerful mental fluctuation emanated.
However, this mental fluctuation was not as severe as the previous three mental contaminations.
Everyone was taken aback, and Saint Qinglan asked with some doubt, "Is it... the Guardian?"
As soon as the Azure Mist Saint finished speaking, another voice rang out in the sky above the base city.
