Chapter 1298

After instructing the Artifact Master Alliance Elder and the Formation Sect Alliance Elder to quickly restore the star battleship, Yun Xiantai also summoned Qi Xiong, Yun Luo Shèngzhǔ, and the elders of the various clans.

Everyone, you already know about Ye Zhangqing's situation; let's keep the chatter short. Once the Dongfang Family's star battleship is restored, I will lead people into Zhu Tian Wan Jie to rescue Ye Zhangqing.

However, before that, the selection of personnel and the demon tribe matter also need to be resolved. Do you all have any good ideas?

Yun Xiantai spoke; hearing this, the Great Emperor Elders present also began to speak one after another.

We don't need many people for the selection, but their strength must be sufficient.

Moreover, Dongfang Hong must not be allowed to remain in Haotu Shijie.

Not bad; moreover, bringing him will increase our chances of success in the rescue.

As for the personnel selection, the most important is still Dongfang Hong.

Yun Xiantai will definitely leave; if Dongfang Hong is left behind, there will be no one in Haotu Shijie to check him.

Although the Dongfang Family has lived in Haotu Shijie for a considerable time, after all they are outsiders, and everyone still cannot fully trust Dongfang Hong.

If he takes advantage of Yun Xiantai's absence to attack and occupy Haotu Shijie, who could stop him?

Furthermore, who knows how long this rescue of Ye Zhangqing will take? No one can be certain.

Therefore, taking Dongfang Hong with us while leaving the other Dongfang Family members behind is the best choice.

Yun Xiantai also nodded in agreement.

Having decided on Dongfang Hong, the subsequent personnel selection becomes simple.

One Great Emperor Elder from each tribe and sect already gives us dozens; next come individuals like Hong Zun, Wu Shou, Qing Shi, and some Great Saint Realm powerhouses.

The total number comes to around five hundred, which is already sufficient.

As for Qi Xiong, Yun Luo Shèngzhǔ, and Yaochi Shèngzhǔ, they will remain to oversee Haotu Shijie.

Although Qi Xiong also very much wants to go along, he knows the importance of the matter.

Haotu Shijie definitely needs to leave someone to oversee it.

The personnel selection was quickly settled, but the real trouble ahead is the demon tribe.

After suddenly drafting away so many powerhouses, Haotu Shijie obviously no longer has the ability to counter the demon tribe.

At this point, how to guard against the demon tribe is the most crucial.

Everyone thought of many methods, but in the end they all felt they were unfeasible.

The strength gap is simply too great; losing almost half of the top combat power in an instant cannot be made up by merely thinking of a few ideas.

When the time comes, the demon tribe need only launch a single attack, and Haotu Shijie may not be able to withstand it.

For a moment, everyone was at a loss; finally, Yun Xiantai gritted her teeth and said.

"Destroy all the demon caves."

"Destroy the demon caves? But we already spent so many resources on them before."

Previously, it was the demon tribe that wanted to destroy the demon caves; it was Haotu Shijie's side that expended many resources to stabilize them.

Afterward, Dongfang Hong was also made to forcibly break through one of the demon caves, which likewise consumed a great deal of resources.

But now you say to destroy them, and just destroy them?

Hearing this, everyone was stunned; using up so many resources is like throwing them into water.

Nevertheless, Yun Xiantai gritted her teeth and said.

"If the resources are gone, they're gone; we'll think of a way later."

If we don't destroy the demon caves, Haotu Shijie cannot block the demon tribe's attack; there's no doubt about that.

Therefore, the best idea we can think of right now is to destroy these five demon caves.

Under Yun Xiantai's insistence, everyone could only nod and agree.

Although we are reluctant, there is nothing we can do about it.

After the personnel and demon tribe matters were settled, everyone began to act separately, and Yun Xiantai also found Dongfang Hong, telling him she hoped he would accompany her to rescue Ye Zhangqing.

Although Yun Xiantai said she hoped Dongfang Hong would lend her a hand.

"Dongfang brother, I am unfamiliar with Zhu Tian Wan Jie; this time I truly need your help."

Hearing this, Dongfang Hong gazed at Yun Xiantai with a deep look.

He is no fool; he naturally understands the meaning behind Yun Xiantai's words.

Being on guard against himself, Dongfang Hong can understand.

Moreover, since Yun Xiantai has already decided to destroy the demon caves, Dongfang Hong also does not worry about the safety of the other Dongfang Family members.

So, after thinking it over, Dongfang Hong nodded and said.

"Good, I'll go with you."

"Thank you, Dongfang brother."

Haotu Shijie is actively preparing; afterwards, we will wait for Shi Qingfeng and Wu Xiulan to leave seclusion, at which point all affairs of Haotu Shijie will be entrusted to the two of them with full authority.

Moreover, Yun Xiantai also left a memory stone for the two of them, which records her many instructions as well as the full story of the events.

On another side, in the endless starry void of Zhu Tian Wan Jie, a star battleship seems to drift aimlessly through this starry expanse.

This star battleship is none other than the space pirate band that previously attacked Haotu Shijie.

After several days of rest, Ye Zhangqing also awoke from his coma.

He glanced at the prison cell he was in, and Ye Zhangqing let out a silent sigh.

I was still too careless, always feeling that nothing had happened, and thus relaxed my vigilance.

Now I have become a prisoner, and I don't even know where this place is.

However, the most pressing matter to consider now is how to save myself.

Just as Ye Zhangqing was thinking, a space pirate strode into the prison cell and said in a cold voice.

"The boss wants to see you; come with us."

No sooner had the words been spoken than they seized Ye Zhangqing and hauled him to his feet; his cultivation had long been sealed, and he could do nothing but submit.

They brought him all the way to the cabin, where he saw the one-eyed strong man.

The one-eyed strong man also looked at Ye Zhangqing and grinned, saying.

"I'm called Viper; my identity needs no further explanation, right?"

A smile spread across his face, yet it did not alter Viper's aura in the slightest; instead, the scar on his face, because of that smile, resembled a poisonous snake, making his whole appearance ferociously menacing.

"Ye Zhangqing."

Ye Zhangqing also spoke his name in a low voice; hearing this, Viper said, his smile undiminished.

"I brought you here only because I have a question: what is your identity in that sealed world, you brat? How could you make everyone so anxious about you?"

This question had troubled Viper for a long time; he just couldn't figure out why the people of Haotu Shijie placed such importance on Ye Zhangqing.

If it were just one or two people, or even only a portion of them, Viper could still make sense of it.

But when all of them grew anxious because Ye Zhangqing had fallen into danger, it seemed a bit off.

Everyone, just because of one person—what on earth is this brat's identity?

It was this curiosity that prompted them to bring Ye Zhangqing over to ask him.

Faced with Viper's doubts, Ye Zhangqing calmly replied.

"Do you really want to know?"

He already had some ideas in mind; although he couldn't guarantee escape, self-preservation should be fine as long as he handled things properly.
