“Brother, when do you think the family will send someone to rescue us?” Xuan Yuan Luan Feng asked.
“Don’t worry, the clan will definitely not abandon us. Not abandoning and not giving up is also an important reason why our Xuan Yuan clan has continued for thousands of years.
The news should have already been sent out. Even if the clan sends people immediately, it won’t be that fast. Besides, the opponent we are facing this time is probably the most troublesome one in centuries. The clan must make corresponding preparations, otherwise, no matter how many people come, they will just be sending themselves to their deaths…
Alas, I should have been more cautious…”
“Brother Chang Feng, this is not your fault. No one could have imagined that we wouldn’t be facing humans this time…”
Just then, a voice suddenly reached Xuan Yuan Chang Feng’s ears.
“Brother Xuan Yuan, I hope you are well. I’ve come to save you!”
Xuan Yuan Chang Feng sat up straight abruptly and lowered his voice, saying, “Ling Tian, is that you?”
“It’s me. I’m right in front of you. Sit tight and don’t make any unusual movements. There are two merman watching this area!”
“Alright, Ling Tian, I’ll cooperate with you fully. How many people have you brought?”
“We have a ship and dozens of ability users, currently on the sea tens of kilometers away! Only I have managed to sneak here alone.
What I can confirm now is that there are several hundred merman here, as well as 800 captives. I’m trying to find a way to rescue you all!
By the way, there’s something very important. Does this thing on your necks have any effect on you?”
“You are correct. This thing is very strange. It can suppress our internal energy, making it impossible for us to use our internal energy and abilities.
Right now, I can’t even sit cross-legged to circulate my energy. Moreover, this thing cannot be forcibly dismantled. Any attempt to remove it will trigger its mechanism and kill the person directly!”
Ling Tian nodded upon hearing this. His guess was correct; this thing was indeed abnormal.
Ling Tian pondered for a moment and said, “How about this, Brother Xuan Yuan? You hold on for a few more days.
I’ve snuck in stealthily now and can take one person away. See if you can arrange someone for me, and I’ll take him away, then return to the ship to study this device on your necks and see if it can be dismantled!
As long as I can figure out a way to safely remove this device, I can take you all away, and even mobilize the ability users on the island to fight those merman!”
“That’s a good plan. It’s the most reliable method. Ling Tian, I’m counting on you.
Next to me is my sister, Xuan Yuan Luan Feng. Take her with you!”
At this moment, Xuan Yuan Luan Feng was completely bewildered. Her beautiful large eyes were wide open, not understanding what her brother was doing. Had he gone mad, suddenly talking to the air?
Xuan Yuan Chang Feng leaned his head close to Xuan Yuan Luan Feng and whispered, “Luan Feng, someone has come to save us. This is my friend Ling Tian. He is very powerful. In a moment, listen to his arrangements and let him take you away first!”
“Where is he? Why can’t I see him?” Xuan Yuan Luan Feng asked softly.
“Miss Xuan Yuan, I am Ling Tian, a friend of Brother Chang Feng. I am currently using an invisibility spell to conceal my presence.
In a moment, I will take advantage of the chaos to cast an invisibility spell on you as well. Then I will hold your hand, and you just follow me!”
“Why are you only saving me? Why can’t you take them all?” Xuan Yuan Luan Feng said with some dissatisfaction.
“Miss Xuan Yuan, don’t be willful. On one hand, the enemy’s strength is vastly superior to ours. I cannot take so many people away at once, nor can I kill all those merman!
On the other hand, your biggest problem now is this ring on your necks. Without removing this device, you won’t be able to regain your combat power.
Right now, I don’t even know if this thing has remote control capabilities. If the enemy can remotely control this device, it will be difficult for you to completely disconnect even if you leave this island.”
Ling Tian concisely conveyed the challenges they were facing to Xuan Yuan Luan Feng through telepathic transmission. Xuan Yuan Luan Feng fell silent.
After a while, Xuan Yuan Luan Feng looked up at Xuan Yuan Chang Feng.
“Brother Chang Feng, let him take you away instead. After all, you are the hope of the clan. The clan has invested a lot of effort in cultivating you, and your safety must not be compromised!”
Xuan Yuan Luan Feng knew very well how important Xuan Yuan Chang Feng was to the Xuan Yuan clan. He was a popular candidate for the next clan head.
And the Xuan Yuan clan had invested countless efforts in cultivating Xuan Yuan Chang Feng.
It could be said that if Xuan Yuan Chang Feng met with an accident on the island, it would have a very adverse impact on the development of the Xuan Yuan clan for decades to come.
As a woman of the Xuan Yuan clan, she naturally had to consider the clan in all aspects. This was the philosophy they had been instilled with since childhood.
Even if everyone else was annihilated this time, as long as Xuan Yuan Chang Feng was safe, the Xuan Yuan clan could bear this loss.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing Xuan Yuan Luan Feng’s words, Xuan Yuan Chang Feng became furious.
“Luan Feng, what nonsense are you talking about? How can I leave at a time like this!
I am the backbone of everyone. If I flee from the battlefield, where will everyone else find the courage to persevere? Even if reinforcements arrive later, who will organize their escape!
There are no cowards who flee from battle in our Xuan Yuan clan!
Don’t you ever say such things again! Now, I order you to leave here with Ling Tian!
Don’t think your mission is easy. After all, cracking the device on your neck also carries great risks, and you might die in the process!
Listen to me and do as I say!”
Xuan Yuan Luan Feng bit her lip. She now understood why the Xuan Yuan clan considered Xuan Yuan Chang Feng an important candidate for the next clan head. Setting aside his talent and achievements in martial arts, his sense of responsibility alone was absolutely admirable!
As a clan head, the head of a clan with a thousand-year history, such responsibility was indispensable.
“Alright, brother, you must take care. We will come to rescue you!”
“Good, prepare to set off!”
Seeing that the siblings had reached an agreement, Ling Tian immediately sent a message to A Li through telepathy.
“A Li, make your move!”
At this moment, more than 200 meters away, two merman were patrolling with steel forks in their hands.
A Li suddenly appeared behind the two individuals. The Emei刺 in her hands pierced through their back necks, directly penetrating their upper brains.
Although the merman’s heads were protected by thick skull bones, the tip of the Emei刺 was a armor-piercing cone!
The sharp armor-piercing cone, combined with A Li’s monstrous strength, easily pierced through the merman’s skulls!
