To be honest, the last words of the City Lord of the Wronged had a great impact on Long Chen.
There was nothing he cared about more than Yang Lingqing and the survival of all living beings.
The City Lord of the Wronged seemed to have grabbed his Achilles' heel, making him feel extremely uncomfortable at every moment.
The Demon Tree was gone, and the miasma in the sky began to disappear. Everything in the Eastern Royal Region began to return to normal. This operation could be considered a success, but it could also be considered a failure.
The failure was because there was still no progress in the oppressive situation.
The City Lord of the Wronged was still in the dark, still suppressing Long Chen.
Long Chen's current strength didn't seem to be a threat to him. He was tempting Long Chen to go to the City of the Wronged. Who knew what would happen there?
But if he didn't go to the City of the Wronged, Long Chen would never be able to resurrect Yang Lingqing. But Yang Lingqing didn't have much time left. At most, she had half a year left.
He took a deep breath.
"I can't be frightened …" After adjusting his state, Long Chen let everyone out of the Divine Kingdom. The most important thing now wasn't to worry, but to use Lingxi's power to restore the five million ghosts to their original state.
Everyone looked at each other.
Long Chen took on the responsibility and said, "I had no choice but to kill Ye Futu today, but as you all can see, he's beyond redemption.
I only regret that I didn't kill him. Given his understanding of the True Martial Emperor Palace, he will definitely cause great harm to us in the future.
Does anyone have any objections? "
He looked at the Hall Master of the Hanwu Temple and the others.
The Hall Master of the Hanwu Temple was the one who had spoken coldly to Long Chen.
At this moment, he was struggling internally.
When Long Chen looked at him, he took a deep breath and said, "I'm convinced. My master … Although I am selfish, in my heart, the human race is the most important. Since he abandoned the race that gave birth to him, I have nothing to say about your decision."
As long as there were no objections.
Long Chen faced the crowd and said, "Lingxi can save everyone. There's no time to lose now.
The two Martial Saints should quickly make arrangements to completely control the sixteen prefectures. Let the strong cultivators enter the sixteen prefectures and control the movement of the ghosts. I will bring Lingxi and do my best to save as many people as possible. "
The two Martial Saints looked at each other.
That's right, this is the most important thing.
"Everyone, hurry to the border, deploy your forces, and control the 16 prefectures."
Under Long Chen's orders, everything was in order.
After they left, Long Chen brought Lingxi to the first prefecture they had planned, the Netherworld Prefecture. They were about to start from the Netherworld Prefecture to save the common people.
"Lingxi, do you regret it?" On the way, Long Chen suddenly asked.
Lingxi shook her head and said seriously, "If I can contribute my strength and let them live, I won't regret it even if I die."
Long Chen gently stroked her head and said softly, "Baby, how can I bear to let you die?
This is just the City Lord of the Wronged's demonstration. Who knows how many people will die in the future? You are the most important person, so you must not hurt yourself. Life and death are fates, and we should save as many as we can. If we go beyond this limit, no one will benefit. "
"Yes!" Seeing Long Chen's love for her, Lingxi nodded happily.
"Chen, you were so cool today. You're not just the hero in my heart, but the hero in everyone's heart!" Lingxi said seriously.
"Is that so?" Long Chen chuckled.
But he didn't want to be a hero.
Every time a hero appeared, most people were dead.
If not for the City Lord of the Wronged, the two of them would probably be living a carefree life.
Maybe one day, they would have a mission to charge into the Eternal God Realm, but it wouldn't be so dangerous.
In fact, saving five million people was much more difficult than Long Chen had imagined.
Most importantly, Lingxi also had a limit. If she used too much Nirvana power, it would bring her a lot of trouble and might even endanger her life.
In fact, Nirvana Tribulation cultivators had always avoided risking their lives in order to deal with the Nirvana Tribulation.
After the City Lord of the Wrongful Death retreated, the miasma between heaven and earth disappeared. The True Martial Emperor Palace's disciples sent out a large number of disciples to control the sixteen prefectures, preventing the ghosts from moving around. Long Chen brought Lingxi along every day, using nirvanic energy to dispel the evil curse on them.
At the end of each day, Lingxi would be exhausted.
However, in reality, she had a tough personality, especially when she was by Long Chen's side. Therefore, most of the time, she had to forcibly hold on by herself. Although the dispelling effect of her Nirvana Power was very strong, there were too many people who were heavily cursed.
This number was close to five million.
At the speed of one prefecture a day, it would take about sixteen days to complete the task.
In the meantime, Wenren Xi and Lin Junyao went back to True Martial Emperor Palace once and transferred a large number of immortal essences from the palace's storage for Lingxi to use to recuperate and restore her Nirvana power.
Every night, when he saw her pale face and no smile in front of him, Long Chen's heart was particularly heavy with hatred. If it wasn't for the City Lord of the Wronged, all of this wouldn't have happened and Lingxi wouldn't have forced herself to this extent for him.
"Rest for a while." Long Chen supported her and said with a heartache.
"No, if we endure a little longer, we can save a few more people. They all have parents, wives and children …" Lingxi shook her head stubbornly.
The longer they dragged on, the more life they would consume. A part of it would be the dispelled curse and their life force would dissipate.
Fortunately, the Emperor Palace provided immortal essences to support them. Otherwise, Lingxi would never be able to complete this shocking task!
After sixteen days, the two of them went to sixteen prefectures and saved almost four million lives!
As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. Lingxi's merit this time could be said to be perfect.
The people who were saved all treated Lingxi like a god. In addition, Long Chen's Holy Martial Emperor title made him a god-like existence in True Martial Emperor Domain.
In the midst of danger, the two of them were like the pillars and saviors of millions of people.
Long Chen and Ling Xi's reputation spread along with the news of the calamity. Countless citizens were panicking, but at the same time, they also felt a sense of hope!
The hope that came from the two of them!
Sometimes, faith was more important than anything else.
As millions of people knelt and worshipped, Lingxi's eyes were also filled with tears. At this moment, Long Chen deeply understood how precious life was.
He put his arm around Lingxi's shoulder and gently wiped away her tears. He said, "A kind girl will definitely be rewarded. Let's go back to the Emperor Palace first.
We'll see how things go. There's a Martial Venerable here, so it's fine. "
"Okay."
