Chapter 740: Chapter 740: The Return of the Divine Commander, We Are Saved
Within three days, they could certainly have left the Canglong Small Domain and hidden in the Minglong Mountain Range.
But if they were to take a large army, it would be impossible, and even more so if they were to bring along the people of Yunzhou.
Upon hearing this question, Sikong Jing suddenly looked lost, his body trembling once again, with a million-strong army having followed him through life and death.
Looking again at the inside and outside of Yunzhou City, people below the city had already started stopping in their tracks, each of them looking this way.
“Quick, look, isn’t that the Sikong God General? Has he returned?”
“Mother, the Sikong God General has co back, I, I, I have seen his portrait, it is undoubtedly the Sikong God General.”
“Finally, the Sikong God General has returned… We no longer need to fear the terrifying Blood Cloud, the Divine Commander will surely save us.”
“The heavens have eyes, ah, et the Sikong God General!”
Bursting with excitent, the voices of the people rose within and outside the city walls.
Because the Dark Winged Dragon Eagle and the Ice Soul Cold Eagle were too eye-catching, people both inside and outside the town walls could see them clearly.
One by one, as they spoke, they knelt down, overwheld with emotion.
The children revealed eyes brimming with inspiration as they stared at Sikong Jing, not concealing the admiration in their gaze.
For nearly a year, Yunzhou was filled with legends of the Sikong God General.
He defeated the armies of the Great Shang Dynasty; he allowed Yunzhou to survive sandwiched between the two Great Dynasties of Great Shang and Daxia; and he also protected countless people from the threats of demon beasts and bandits…
The Sikong God General was like a godly figure within the territory of Yunzhou.
“Crack, crack, crack…”
Sikong Jing’s fists clenched so tightly they crackled, and as he watched the ever-increasing number of civilians inside and outside the city, after a long, long ti, a hoarse voice suddenly rose from Sikong Jing’s mouth, “Five Dragons Admiral, heed my command!”
“Your subordinate is here!” The Five Dragons Admiral responded powerfully.
Sikong Jing, with eyes bloodshot and veined, slowly said, “Imdiately send orders throughout Yunzhou, to go door to door and dig trenches, connect all the rivers of Yunzhou for , and make sure it’s all done within two days.”
Everyone was stunned, then without hesitation, the Five Dragons Admiral agreed and the five figures dashed off simultaneously.
This command rapidly spread throughout the territory of Yunzhou.
After they left, Sui Wenzhan blankly stared at Sikong Jing and asked, “Divine Commander, are you not planning to leave?”
Leave? How could one leave?
Could he just watch those who had pinned all their hopes on him, those adoring children, beco food in the belly of the Blood-colored Demon Dragon after three days?
He had been forcing himself not to think, not to face it, constantly comforting himself… but now he had to face it.
He, Sikong Jing, couldn’t bear to leave without struggling, he couldn’t act like a defeated dog, fleeing in a panic.
Sikong Jing closed his eyes deeply, forcing himself to remain calm, “Although I cannot be responsible for the entire Canglong Small Domain, I must at least take responsibility for the people of Yunzhou, I can only stay and do my utmost to save people.”
At these words, everyone’s expressions beca sowhat rigid… even i Xiaofang didn’t know what to say.
She wished Sikong Jing could be more selfish, but that just wouldn’t be Sikong Jing.
At this ti, Su Yue Immortal asked more calmly, “Digging through all the trenches, what good will that do?”
Sikong Jing took a deep breath and replied, “To keep the Blood-colored Demon Dragon from daring to absorb the people of Yunzhou, or to say, preventing the people of Yunzhou from being absorbed, and even preserving their spirit… in three days, you’ll know.”
Seeing everyone’s confusion, Sikong Jing didn’t want to explain any further.
Suddenly, he looked at Su Yuexi and said hoarsely, “Yue Xi, accompany to a place.”
Su Yuexi nodded without hesitation, then Sikong Jing looked towards his sister…
The latter said, “Brother, you have things to do here. I’ll go back to Xiaosang Town by myself to take a look. Don’t worry about .”
“In three days, I will definitely co back and stand by Brother Jing’s side to resist the blood-colored demon dragon.”
The last sentence, Sikong Ling said decisively.
During such a tense mont, she of course couldn’t ask Brother Jing to accompany her back to their long-abandoned ho.
Now, many more people needed Brother Jing.
Gently touching Sikong Ling’s head, Sikong Jing said affectionately, “Okay, once this is over, Brother will surely take you there again.”
Still concerned, Sikong Jing then added, “If you encounter those beetles again, make sure to suppress your breath, or say you are… a disciple of the Wunian Saint Sect.”
When these words were spoken, Sikong Jing’s voice carried traces of bitterness.
As a brother, he now had to entrust the responsibility of protecting his sister to the elusive Wunian Saint Sect.
“I’ll be careful, goodbye Brother,” she said.
With that, Sikong Ling mounted the Ice Soul Cold Eagle and flew towards the direction of Xiaosang Town.
anwhile, Sikong Jing also took Su Yuexi upon Dark Wing Young Sculpture, disappearing between layers of clouds.
When they reappeared, they were already deep in the Ru Yun Mountain within the territory of Yunzhou, above a vast lake.
“Brother Jing, is this the beautiful lake where you once saved ?” Su Yuexi asked softly.
This lake was where Sikong Jing had first beco demonized for Su Yuexi’s sake.
To cure Su Yuexi from the poison administered by Yan Ruyu, he had co here in the guise of a blood devouring demon beast, using the diluted Thousand Beast Flower Blood Drop prepared by the Feiyun Butterfly as an antidote for Su Yuexi.
“Yes, it’s here. I want to use the Thousand Beast Flower Blood Drop again to save the people of Yunzhou,” Sikong Jing explained gently. “If we dissolve the Thousand Beast Flower Blood Drop into the lake water and then divert it into the whole of Yunzhou.”
“When the ti cos, as the Blood Refining Ancestor’s blood-colored demon dragon is devouring, all the citizens of Yunzhou can imrse themselves in the lake water containing the Thousand Beast Flower Blood Drop and won’t be drained by the blood dragon.”
This was the best solution Sikong Jing could co up with at the mont.
With the diluted Thousand Beast Flower Blood Drop, the evil power of the blood-colored demon dragon would not dare to touch the water here.
As long as they imrsed themselves in the water, no one would be drained, and even their spirit could be preserved.
Otherwise, even if they hid in cellars and so on, their physical bodies might not be drained, but their spirit would still be devoured.
This was the conclusion Sikong Jing had co to after passing through a region that had been devoured—there was no way everyone was outside the buildings, yet not a single person had survived.
Of course, the Thousand Beast Flower Blood Drop is too terrifying. Ordinary people who imrse themselves in it would face certain death.
Therefore, it had to be diluted throughout the entire Yunzhou.
But if diluted too much, whether the dosage would be sufficient, Sikong Jing had no absolute certainty, which is why he didn’t explain just now.
Su Yuexi’s eyes lit up, and she quickly said, “Brother Jing, then this thod could potentially save the entire Canglong Small Domain… I’m sorry, Brother Jing, I assud too much.”
Originally, she thought that if the Thousand Beast Flower Blood Drop could be introduced into entire Yunzhou.
Then maybe it could be brought to every corner of the Canglong Small Domain, potentially saving the entire domain.
But after giving it more thought, all Su Yuexi felt was bitterness.
Not to ntion the difficulty of expanding the thod, even if it worked, if the blood-colored demon dragon couldn’t drain even half a person, wouldn’t it co down to investigate the situation? In that case, the Blood Refining Ancestor would probably be even more ruthless.
Therefore, this thod couldn’t be widespread, and they had to avoid raising suspicion or being seen by the Blood Refining Ancestor, or else they would still face certain death.
