"What did you do?"
[Same Moment, Same Fate] Blocking this attack and counter-attacking it was no challenge or difficulty for Gongsun Ling.
But the other party also seems to have means to transfer or eliminate the damage—
After hundreds of rounds of fighting, Lü Buyi's magical body remained unharmed, except for the depletion of his magical power.
"Lord of Life and Death, don't be so overconfident..."
"Since even the previous leaders of the Three Truths Sect could create something like the [Three Truths Same Month Order] that connects three time periods."
"How could we not have the same means to retaliate against you?"
Lu Buyi deliberately used a shameless tone completely unlike his own personality to ask in a low voice.
"A past where victory was almost impossible, and a future that still has a chance of existing."
What do you think Jiang Mingzi will choose?
Gongsun Ling remained silent, her thoughts swirling, her gaze cold and sharp.
In 439 AD, during the reign of Jiang Mingzi, let's rewind a little—
Going back to a time when the fifteen powerful magical corpses had not yet brought about the annihilation of Penglai, and were still in the preparation stage.
Because of prior preparation, the chosen high-level magical corpses, as well as those mid-level magical corpses and ordinary corpses, can arrive at Penglai in an instant.
Therefore, Suiyuan was not in a hurry to directly and brutally select enough powerful magical corpses to attack and destroy Penglai while sending them to their deaths.
On the contrary, he calculated the time and even gave them a short time to catch up.
However, most of the powerful and magical corpses gathered here come from different eras.
So there aren't many people I can say hello to.
But eventually, two of them started chatting, and these two were the only two high-ranking beings among the powerful and magical corpses at this time and place.
Gongsun Pang and Gongshu Yuan were both powerful sorcerers who became active at the end of the Warring States period.
However, the power of the Heavenly Punishment and Nirvana Corpse of the Three True Methods has become increasingly stronger in recent generations.
Therefore, they have not returned to their homeland for hundreds of years.
"Miss Gongshu, it must have been hundreds of years since we last met. We haven't seen you since the Qin Dynasty fell—"
"Don't act like we're old friends. Gongsun Peng, I'm from Chu, and you're from Yan."
Gongsun Chong laughed heartily: "What's the difference?"
"Ever since that Liu Bang unified the country again, we should all be called Han people."
Gongshu Yuan, dressed in old Chu clothing, disdainfully ignored him.
"Someone like you, who was adopted by Penglai since childhood because he followed Xu Fu's fleet, obviously doesn't understand what homeland or country means."
"Maybe..."
Gongsun Peng chuckled and patted his head as he looked at Sui Yuan, who remained silent.
"I'm so sorry, Lord Suiyuan. Did I talk too much and take up your time?"
Sui Yuan shook his head: "Returning to my homeland, I can understand the excitement."
"And what I'm going to ask you to do next, I told you about many years ago, so you probably already know what I'm talking about now."
"This journey may very well end in death."
"I'm not so heartless as to not give you a little time to cherish the memory."
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Peng smiled slightly again.
"You're much easier to talk to than Lord Zhuo Zhao."
Sui Yuan did not deny it, but after everyone gradually quieted down, he clapped his hands and asked softly:
"As I said many years ago, I need you to help me destroy Penglai at the right time."
"Although now is not the best time, in order to protect the Lord of All Businesses, you must now offer your lives."
"I'll ask one last time: those who are unwilling, or who are unwilling to fight because of their connection with Penglai, may step forward. Although I said that when I summoned you, I will not be so domineering as to withdraw my true blood."
No one stepped forward, not even Gongsun Pang from Penglai, who remained calm and showed no hesitation.
Gongshu Yuan's gaze lingered on him for a moment.
Sui Yuan put his hands behind his back and asked his final question.
"You must all have heard of the renowned Immortal Lord of the Myriad Laws of the Eternal World—"
"If Penglai is in trouble, he will definitely provide assistance quickly."
"So if you were to destroy the lineages of at least one or two islands in a short period of time, how many people do you think you would need to deploy?"
The inconspicuous shepherd ghost retorted, "May I ask, Lord Suiyuan, exactly how short is this 'short time'?"
Sui Yuan truthfully replied, "One to two minutes, at most three or four minutes."
Gongshu Yuan raised her eyes, glanced at Gongsun Peng, and gave her answer the fastest.
"In that case, to express our respect for the Taoist tradition of the Three Islands of Penglai and to show our respect for that scoundrel Jiang Mingzi—"
"Let's start with the first half. My innate abilities are enough to counter that immortal tree. I'll reserve one spot and bring along fourteen other fellow cultivators."
"With fifteen people working together, even if we can't completely wipe out the three islands of Penglai, if we all rush in, Jiang Mingzi might not be able to kill us all. With Lord Suiyuan secretly covering us, one or two of us should be able to escape."
"What do you think of this plan?" Sui Yuan looked at the other silent, powerful, and powerful corpses.
They remained silent, which clearly indicated their tacit approval of the plan.
Gongsun Peng asked, "How should we decide on the remaining fourteen spots?"
Sui Yuan seemed to have anticipated this, and he chose the fairest method, conjuring up an ordinary lottery tube out of thin air.
"Draw black and white slips; out of twenty-nine slips, fourteen are black—"
Do you agree?
Another question was asked, and the powerful sorcerers present felt that Sui Yuan was being overly polite.
Seeing that no one answered, Sui Yuan understood: "That means there are no objections—"
"Gentlemen, this mission concerns the very survival and continuation of the Lord of All Trades—and is almost certainly a matter of life and death."
"It is with regret that I ask you all to reconsider your actions."
Sui Yuan threw the lottery tube towards the thirty powerful and magical corpses.
"please--"
Upon hearing that it concerned the very survival of the Lord of All Trades, even the Shepherd Ghost, who valued his life, became much more resolute in his eyes.
Gongsun Peng was the first to catch the lottery tube.
"Think twice before acting?"
The Supreme Being of Penglai, who has survived since the end of the Warring States period, murmured softly and drew a divination stick:
"Why hesitate? Haven't we survived until now precisely for this moment to protect the future of the Supernatural World?"
The shepherd ghost was the second to step forward.
"Hahaha, yes, that's exactly right. I've been waiting for this moment with my life cut short."
The monk, dressed as a Hu monk, had a dazed look in his eyes and sent out a divination stick with a wave of his hand.
"Die as spectacularly as you can—"
Liu Du'e from the Western Han Dynasty accepted the slip of paper: "To seize everything for my lord."
Zhang Juxian, once an ordinary man born into the Taiping Dao (Way of Great Peace) during the late Han Dynasty, recalled a figure from the depths of his memory:
"May my Lord possess all things."
The remaining corpses clutched their own slips of paper tightly in their hands and burst into laughter.
"Even if it is unparalleled throughout history, it will still leave him with regrets for the rest of his life."
