Chapter 545 A Hasty Expedition

Bai Jianxin stood up and asked in a deep voice, "Of course we can fight.""But Ghost Lord, I want to know why your crippled team is on the side of the mortal realm?"The Ghost Lord said calmly, "I was born in the mortal realm, so naturally I should stand on the side of the mortal realm!"This righteous and awe-inspiring voice stunned everyone.But the next second he laughed loudly, "No one really believes that, right?""The reason I helped you all is actually to help myself.""As you all know, back then I used the Ten Thousand Ghost Lord title to fight against the Frost Emperor.""My illness isn't cured. The only person who can cure it is the president of the Alliance Realm. The prerequisite for cure is helping him conquer all the ruins and ensuring that three Divine Realm experts emerge from each ruin."Upon hearing this,everyone nodded silently.The Ghost Lord abruptly changed the subject, saying, "Then I'll get straight to the point.""Everyone, the initiative is now in our hands!""Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth; Ice, Wind, Thunder; Time; Space; Light; Darkness; Life; Death; Dao Source.""A total of fifteen ruins.""Ten have now appeared in the world.""Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth; Ice; Thunder; Light; Darkness; Space.""Among them, Metal, Water, and Darkness have fallen into the hands of the Azure Sky Clan.""The rest are all in our hands."Suddenly, someone asked, "Wait, when did the Ice Ruins appear?"The Ghost Lord quickly replied, "I've already found out. There were battles taking place simultaneously in three places that day.""Li An went to the Space Ruins first.""Then came our Light Ruins.""The four members of the White Water Sect, who hadn't appeared for a long time, and the people from the Alliance Realm itself—that is, Ji Lie's group—followed the rebels of Lei Ju and went to the Ice Ruins."Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.Was that day really that exciting?It turned out that Li An was late because he had gone to the spatial ruins first.The White Water Sect and the other capable fighters from this realm hadn't shown up; they had followed the traitor to the Ice Ruins.A three-front war.Complete victory!The Ghost Lord snapped his fingers and said, "Come in."As soon as his voice fell, everyone looked towards the main entrance behind them.The masked quartet, along with other geniuses from this realm, including those from the Wilderness Mountain, appeared one by one.The banquet instantly became even more lively.Hundreds of people gathered here.Lin raised his right hand, and the mark of the Ice Ruins appeared in his palm.Yuri was also here, and he also displayed his spatial ruins.The remaining four also stood up and displayed theirs.Li He, still recovering from serious injuries, didn't come, but everyone knew.Seven ruins, gathered together.The Ghost Lord said in a deep voice, "There are five more to go.""Wind, Time, Life, Death, and Dao Source.""I've obtained the coordinates of the Wind Ruins. Speed ​​is of the essence; let's set off immediately." The Ghost Lord had been in private contact with Li An for some time, and he had obtained the ruins' addresses from Li He.Everyone nodded in agreement.The Ghost Lord continued, "The remaining four ruins—Time, Life, Death, and Dao Source—will likely be more challenging!""Anyone who has been inside a ruin knows that the corridor leading to its center is not easy to traverse.""The corridors in the Space Ruins require those with the power of spatial laws to navigate; otherwise, progress is impossible.""The Time Ruins will likely also require those with the power of time laws to navigate."His gaze swept across the entire room.Everyone exchanged bewildered glances.This is bad.No one present possesses the power of time laws.Frost Snow said calmly, "I'll go."Everyone nodded in agreement.Before a fully-fledged Heavenly Crippled Being, what path is difficult! Time is frozen for you!"What about the Ruins of Life?" the Ghost Lord continued to ask.The Ruins of Life didn't sound like a difficult path.Ultimately, this important task was entrusted to Zhao Shaolong; with enough strength, he should be able to overcome any obstacles."What about the Ruins of Death?"This didn't sound like an easy path at all.Tong Zheng raised his hand and said, "I can go.""Does anyone have any objections?" The Ghost Lord scanned the crowd before him.No one raised any questions."Then the last one, the Ruins of Dao Source!" The Ghost Lord's eyes narrowed."The path to this ruin will be extremely difficult.""Why don't you go, Tong Zheng?"Tong Zheng shook his head and said, "No, only I can go through the Ruins of Death.""Or Li An.""But I think Li An might need the Ruins of Dao Source more." A mysterious smile appeared on Tong Zheng's face.He seemed like a completely different person now, exuding an aura of mystery, entirely unlike the hot-tempered child he once was.The Ghost Lord finally nodded, "Then it's settled.""The Wind Relic is up to you.""The Time Relic is up to Frost and Snow.""The Life Relic is up to Zhao Shaolong.""The Death Relic is up to Tong Zheng.""The Dao Source Relic..." The Ghost Lord's gaze swept across the entire hall, and he chuckled, "Li An should be fully recovered by now, right?"Frost and Snow nodded, "Yes.""Then it's settled!" The Ghost Lord slammed his hand on the table, saying, "The deceased have been buried!""Everyone has eaten and drunk their fill!""Now, everyone, follow me to conquer the Wind Relic!""The ownership of these fifteen relics will affect the life and death of the Alliance, and the future fate of humanity!""We are the future of humanity!""Victory is certain!" Morale exploded.Hundreds of people marched out of the banquet hall in a grand procession, bidding farewell to the tombstones of their deceased loved ones, and brandishing their swords against their enemies!Initially, most people were resistant and hostile towards the Ghost Lord taking the stage.But somehow, as he spoke, everything happened naturally, and everyone followed him into battle.High in the starry sky.An army of prodigies from the Alliance Realm, the Demon Realm, the Asura Realm, and the Human Realm set off towards the Wind Ruins.They marched with great momentum.The myriad realms watched the energetic young men and women, feeling a sense of hope for the future, their hearts warmed.The entire process went very smoothly; the Azure Sky Clan didn't even appear.After recapturing the Wind Ruins, the Ghost Lord immediately began selling the Dao-proving slots for the ruins, which quickly sold out.At this point, a crucial question arose.How should the money be divided?The Ghost Lord had prepared several explanations, giving the money to whoever provided the ruins' coordinates.Unexpectedly, they were completely unnecessary.The leaders of the four clans all tacitly remained silent.The Alliance of Strategists had no right to ask for more money. Ji Lie and his group knew perfectly well that these people from another world had come to save them, so they dared not ask for more.The demon race was even simpler."We're here to kill, to collect a debt from the Cangtian Clan. What do we need money for?"The Asura Clan's Zhen and Cang, after Ren's departure, took over the reins, stating that unity was now paramount.The human race was even less of a concern.Then, everyone began searching for the coordinates of the last four ruins.They didn't care when the Cangtian Clan would reappear.Over a hundred people advanced and retreated together.Whoever came, they killed!In fact, the reason the Cangtian Clan didn't appear was quite simple.They couldn't win.That day, Cang Yunhu and Ming Suzhi led the strong members of the Cang and Ming clans to fight against the human powerhouses stationed in the Alliance of Strategists' territory.The result was a draw.But this was not a happy ending.Because neither Zhuge Tianming, nor Emperor Yu, nor the Heavenly Thief made a move.Under these circumstances, the fight was evenly matched.If they really fought to the death, wouldn't they be doomed?If they couldn't win above, could they win below?The Underworld King was dead.More than a dozen geniuses from the Underworld Kingdom had also died.How could the remaining scattered troops fight against more than a hundred people on the other side?Not to mention, the Alliance's momentum was currently extremely strong!More and more passionate individuals chose to join the volunteer army, called the Alliance Heavenly Army.Various factions also sent powerful military commanders to conduct temporary training for these volunteers.Cultivators are cultivators, warriors are warriors, and legions are another matter entirely.Whether they can fight or not depends on their teamwork, not their numbers.
