Chapter 99: Leaving and Preparing
After Zhou Tong pointed out two or three dozen locations within Fengdu, Huang Wenjie stood up and clasped his hands, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your generosity!"
"Mm! Although I don't wish to rely on the Lin Clan, there are some matters we can collaborate on," Zhou Tong replied somewhat coldly.
To Huang Xiong and Huang Shaohua, Zhou Tong seemed incredibly impressive. However, neither of them spoke; instead, their eyes were deep, as if they were plotting something.
With the deal struck, Lian Yun smiled lightly and asked, "What are your plans next, Wen Jie?"
"What else could there be? As Young Master Yun said, we should first secure more Spiritwood for the family. After that... heh heh... what's ten more years of patience?"
Lian Yun smiled slightly.
Huang Wenjie had a very strong character; previously, it was just that his goals weren't high enough. However, Lian Yun did not want Huang Wenjie to endure until he achieved the status of Emperor, as that would surely shock the entire world.
This goal was too lofty, making it seem unattainable. Once Lian Yun proposed it, Huang Wenjie would not ponder its feasibility but would immediately retreat.
If there were even a glimmer of hope, Lian Yun might have considered it; at that point, Huang Wenjie might have been willing to endure for a hundred years.
However, where would all those "ifs" come from? For now, Huang Wenjie aiming for Monarch was already quite impressive.
Lian Yun believed that as long as he persevered to the end, achieving Monarch was not just a pipe dream.
With the transaction complete and small talk finished, Huang Wenjie took the hint and left with Huang Xiong and Huang Shaohua. Meanwhile, Lian Yun remained with Zhou Tong and Murong Ying to guard Meng Zhigui and Azure Flower.
Lian Yun was unaware of what effects Zhou Tong's Spiritwood had on Meng Zhigui and Azure Flower. However, sensing their increasingly powerful aura made him frown slightly.
When both of their faces suddenly turned red, Zhou Tong and Murong Ying simultaneously spoke in low tones: "This place is within Fengdu; the Evil Spirit Tide has just passed. Young Master Yun is here!"
Both frowned deeply and restrained themselves tightly.
Their bodies turned completely red, trembling all over, with blood seeping from their seven orifices. Neither dared to break through.
Because this is Fengdu, once the breach occurs, the Evil Spirit Tide will inevitably return, and it will not deliberately avoid the tall buildings. It will attack with full force until there are no survivors. At that point, not only will they endanger themselves and their team, but they will also jeopardize their lord, Lian Yun.
With a resolute attitude, the two refused to break through even at the cost of their lives.
As the heat radiating from their bodies gradually weakened, their flushed skin began to return to normal, and their trembling bodies slowly stabilized.
Lian Yun, Zhou Tong, and Murong Ying all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Lian Yun cast a reproachful glance at Zhou Tong and Murong Ying.
If Meng Zhigui and Azure Flower could not hold on, it would not just be a matter of dragging others down; it would mean certain death for both of them.
It was indeed a ruthless decision.
Although the outcome was favorable, Lian Yun still felt a lingering fear in his heart.
"Thank you for your kindness, Captain!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhou!"
The two awakened, their eyes sharp yet gradually calming down. Their voices were somewhat hoarse, but their breaths slowly steadied.
Zhou Tong nodded and then turned to glance at Lian Yun. Seeing Lian Yun putting away three Spiritwoods, he led the way out of the tent.
Lian Yun took less than ten minutes to enter and exit the tent, and nearly everyone was still present; no one had left.
Silver Prosperity stepped forward, his expression somewhat regretful yet smiling slightly as he said, "We have already discussed the range of our defensive line. May I ask how wide Mr. Zhou's team plans to defend?"
"About five meters on each side."
"Uh..." Silver Prosperity looked somewhat speechless, his expression conflicted.
The Lianyun Team consisted of eleven members, arranged in two rows about five meters apart, with each person spaced one or two meters apart for combat. This would be considered an optimal arrangement for an ordinary team, but could the Lian Yun team really be classified as ordinary?
Moreover, Silver Prosperity's original requirement was not too demanding—around ten meters would suffice—but unexpectedly, Zhou Tong was being so 'stingy'.
However, if he were to voice his concerns, any injuries sustained by the Lianyun Team would inevitably be blamed on him, leaving him in a state of inner turmoil.
Yet Lian Yun smiled slightly and said, "Let's go for about fifteen meters; we'll hold the central position."
Silver Prosperity's eyes lit up at once, nodding without giving Zhou Tong a chance to object.
The so-called central position did not refer to the center of Evil Tide but rather to the center of their cooperative group.
When facing Evil Tide, all teams would line up in a row, treating the most dangerous area as their central point. If that central position were breached, all teams on either side would surely suffer.
Thus, regardless of whether the team holding the central position was strong enough, choosing that spot meant they were prepared to fight with all their might—no retreat and no surrender.
Under normal circumstances, if a team lacked sufficient strength, others would absolutely refuse such an arrangement. However, Silver Prosperity had witnessed Lian Yun's capabilities firsthand and naturally had no doubts.
But Zhou Tong's face darkened as he said in a low voice, "Give us some spirit liquid!"
"Of course! How about each of our teams provides you with one vial of spirit liquid?" Elder Yin immediately replied.
Because Silver Prosperity trusted the Lian Yun team, the other forty or so team leaders agreed to let Lian Yun defend the central position.
Thus, each team leader handed over a test tube containing a blue liquid about the thickness of a finger. In total, each member of the Lianyun Team received around four vials.
Then Huang Wenjie stepped forward and looked at Zhou Tong. "Is this enough?"
"It would be best to have eleven more!"
In response, Huang Wenjie handed him fourteen test tubes, leaving the forty or so team leaders both shocked and regretful.
The shocking Indifferent represented the strength of the fourteen spirit liquids. Unfortunately, Huang Wenjie’s Ten-Person Team did not participate in the battles following the Evil Spirit Tide.
Unbeknownst to them, there was still something to fear, for such a powerful team had once referred to Lian Yun as "Young Master."
If anything were to happen to Young Master Lin during the battle, would this formidable Ten-Person Team hold them accountable?
In Fengdu, they couldn't help but worry about this possibility.
Huang Wenjie, however, showed no signs of concern. If it weren't for the hundreds of battles they were about to face, he could have given Zhou Tong more support.
But since Zhou Tong only needed eleven, and he had provided three extra, he believed Young Master Yun would be safe. Even if Zhou Tong and his team encountered any issues, he felt confident that his Young Master Yun would remain unharmed.
With that reassurance, he led his team to the back of the rooftop.
Meanwhile, others at the top of the building were in a frenzy. Some used their Spider-Man abilities to swing to another building, while many more utilized their powers to reach this one—members from over forty other teams.
Suddenly, the rooftop, which could originally accommodate just over two thousand people, was crowded with nearly five thousand individuals.
The other forty teams were mostly composed of groups of around one hundred. It was likely that some weaker members from certain teams had not made it over.
