Chapter 2854: Chapter 2854: So Many Who Slipped Through the Net
If the manpower cannot be gathered, the array formation cannot begin. If Qian Jiyun doesn’t discover the situation at Demon Howl Cave, it’s fine, but if he does, then everything will be for naught.
"For now, stop everything else you’re doing over there. Gather all the manpower here and try to activate the array formation in the shortest time possible."
The only solution he could think of now was to gather all the forces that the masked man had and activate the array formation.
Hopefully, there’s still time and Qian Jiyun won’t return so quickly.
"Gather them all here?"
The masked man hesitated. If he gathered all the people here, wouldn’t he end up with no one left?
If this goes on, wouldn’t he become completely isolated, unable to have anyone to handle affairs for him?
How could that be? He instinctively wanted to refuse.
"Reluctant?"
The mentor saw his hesitation and sneered inwardly.
Being reluctant is useless. He needed those people to obediently offer everything they had, and even this person in front of him would eventually have to invest himself into the array formation.
"It’s not that, it’s just... Mentor, do we really have to gather everyone here? I have tasks to do on the other side too; we can’t forget about monitoring the camp."
The masked man said.
Of course, he was reluctant. It took him so many years to gather these people, and now he’s expected to send them all over here?
If it was uncertain whether these people would survive and return, it wouldn’t be so bad. But he knew the truth, and how could he be willing to let them go? If he lost these people, he’d have to start recruiting all over again.
"Master, you need to understand, the array formation is what’s most important to you right now. Once it’s successfully activated, will anything else still matter?"
The mentor spread his hands, questioning him.
Yes, once the array formation is activated, the Demon Howl Cave would be entirely his. What would Qian Jiyun amount to then?
"This... fine."
In the end, the masked man could only reluctantly agree.
At this moment, a man in black brought up the tea, handing each of them a cup. After drinking their tea, the two went about their respective tasks.
...
A heavy thud sounded.
A heavy object fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Just after exiting the small building, the mentor was yanked into a space by Qian Jiyun, so disoriented that he was seeing stars.
Of course, Qian Jiyun didn’t enter immediately. Instead, he dealt with the group of men in black who were still channeling Original Soul power into the array formation. As for the masked man, he had long since left and hadn’t noticed any of this.
"If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed there were so many stragglers on Huayan Peak."
Looking at the haphazardly strewn bodies, Qian Jiyun shook his head. Just casually counting, there were over a hundred people here who should have left Huayan Peak and returned to their own planes by now.
Instead, not only did they not return, they were here trying to activate some troublesome array formation to relocate Demon Howl Cave for the mentor’s own possession.
"Can such a Demon Howl Cave really be relocated by an array?" An Jiuyue was surprised.
If this is true, it’s too incredible. If Demon Heart Island can be moved, then Wulong Mountain would fall into chaos, wouldn’t it?
Qian Jiyun chuckled at her question.
Such a large Demon Howl Cave, how could it possibly be relocated? It’s not a mere building. Even if it were a building, it’s already connected to this place. How could it possibly be uprooted?
