Long River Eternity

Lin Ding was extremely confused at the moment. He would definitely go and save Liu Xianxian, but that didn't mean he would be so stupid as to die in vain.

Lin Ding flicked his finger lightly, and a stream of chaotic energy shot out and instantly sank into the white ape's body. He then said, "Wait for us here, don't even think about escaping."

Then, he turned to Huangpi and said, "Call a few of your men over to watch over the white ape, and then come to the meeting room."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the small room, followed closely by Wei Wu and others.

Huangpi let out a few long howls towards the cave entrance, and soon, several Tianquan Realm monsters flew in. Huangpi gave a few simple instructions and then walked towards the meeting room.

Huangpi stepped into the room and saw Lin Ding with his back to everyone, staring at the scroll on the wall in silence.

Hearing the noise of Huang Pi coming in, Lin Ding turned around, looked around and said, "You all heard it just now. The place where I'm going to rescue people is extremely dangerous. Some of you really don't need to follow me into danger. You can leave now."

After Lin Ding finished speaking, he looked at Zhan Wushen, Jiang Yueying and Li Huan. It was obvious that he was talking about them.

Zhan Wushen understood Lin Ding's meaning and spoke first: "Since I promised my grandfather to look after you, I will accompany you to the end and will definitely not leave first."

Jiang Yueying then said, "Don't underestimate us. We are the strongest among the younger generation of our family. We all have life-saving tricks and can escape unscathed at any critical moment. Now that we've come this far, if we run away, we'll become a laughingstock in the future."

"That's right, we are not three-year-old children, there is no need to worry about us." Li Huan agreed.

Lin Ding frowned and asked again, "Are you sure? Once the war starts, the situation will change rapidly. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave then."

Jiang Yueying smiled and said, "Now that we are considered comrades, I will be frank. Our families all have peak Tianji Realm masters in charge, and our backup is the latest weapon developed by the Ministry of Science and Technology some time ago.

This weapon can temporarily store the energy of a powerful individual. When activated, it allows the user to temporarily unleash an attack equal to the power of the energy holder. And the weapons we carry contain the energy of peak Tianji Realm experts."

When Lin Ding heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He never thought that the Research Department had developed such a heaven-defying weapon. If this weapon was promoted, wouldn't everyone be able to reach the peak of the Tianji Realm?

Lin Ding then looked at Zhan Wushen, wanting to get his confirmation. Zhan Wushen nodded silently, and then Lin Ding believed what Jiang Yueying said.

"You have it too?" Lin Ding asked Zhan Wushen.

"I don't have one. Each of those weapons is very valuable and I can't afford it. Besides, my grandfather's iron-blooded education will never allow the children of my Zhan family to wear such items. After all, what he most advocates is to hone oneself in the real life and death." Zhan Wushen said with a wry smile.

"Okay." Lin Ding then looked at Jiang Yueying and asked, "Then how long can your weapons last?"

"Mine can last eight minutes." Jiang Yueying replied.

"Mine is better and can last ten minutes." Li Huan said proudly.

Seeing a hint of doubt on Lin Ding's face, Jiang Yueying smiled and explained, "The duration of maintenance is related to the quality of the weapon. The Li family is good at casting, so the quality of their weapons is naturally better than mine, so they can last longer."

"I see. If the situation gets dire, you must protect yourselves with these weapons," Lin Ding instructed. He then looked at Huang Pi and said, "After we leave, if you're truly desperate, you can go to the mountains east of Zhongzhou City and find a stone tiger. Then, settle down there first."

"No, I want to go with you." Huangpi said firmly.

"There's no need. The restriction I left in your body is actually fake. It won't pose any threat to your life at all. The same goes for Tianlang. There's no need for you to take risks with me." Lin Ding said frankly.

"You misunderstood. I am going with you not because of the restriction, but because this may be my best chance to avenge my father, and I don't want to miss it." Huangpi said solemnly.

"No matter whether your restriction is true or false, I have made it clear long ago that I came with you only because you saved my life, and there is no other reason." Tianlang looked at Lin Ding solemnly.

"Forget about it. Didn't you hear what the white ape said? There are over twenty Tianji Realm demon beasts, and you're only at the Tianquan Realm. Why would you join in the fun? You're not even qualified to be cannon fodder.

"Besides, your enormous size makes it difficult to move around, so I have another mission for you. Later, I'll have the white ape tell me the approximate location of the Northern Frost Demon Alliance. You must immediately return to Zhongzhou City to find Zhan Tianqiong and see if you can bring in reinforcements," Lin Ding said to Tianlang.

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring reinforcements as quickly as possible!" Tianlang responded in a deep voice.

Lin Ding nodded, then looked at Wei Wu. Before Lin Ding could speak, Wei Wu spoke first, "What's the matter? You don't want me to leave, do you?"

Lin Ding smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, even if you want to leave, I won't agree. But before you leave, you'd better improve your own strength so as not to hold us back."

As he spoke, he pulled out a dagger from his bosom. It was the energy Liu Xianxian had collected after killing the giant lizard. Lin Ding handed the dagger to Wei Wu and said softly, "All the energy of this giant lizard in the middle stage of the Tianquan Realm is contained here. Let's see if it can help you raise your realm to the middle stage."

"Xianxian is not here, I don't know how to use this thing?" Wei Wu looked embarrassed.

"I will seal you up with metal later, and then disperse this dagger. The energy inside will be released instantly. You will suffer from energy shock in this enclosed space, which may be quite painful. Please be patient." Lin Ding said.

"Don't worry, I can handle it!" Wei Wu said firmly.

Finally, Lin Ding looked at Kuang Shi and said, "I know you will definitely seek revenge on Cang Hu. I will not try to persuade you any more. Don't force yourself. Even if you fail this time, there will be opportunities in the future."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." The Crazy Lion responded.

"This operation is fraught with many unknowns and dangers. I expect everyone to follow my instructions. I have a way to hide, and I will be the first to go in and explore the way. Everyone, please do not act rashly until I come out." Lin Dingxiang gave the group his final instructions. "Alright, let's rest for now and get back to peak condition."

After saying this, Lin Ding saw that everyone else had sat down to calm their breath, and then he led Wei Wu and Tian Lang out of the meeting room. After obtaining the approximate location of the Northern Frost Demon Alliance from the white ape, Tian Lang left first, rushing back to Zhongzhou City.

Then Lin Ding brought Wei Wu out of the cave and let Wei Wu absorb the energy in the dagger according to the method he had just mentioned.

When Lin Ding dispersed the dagger, the fully enclosed metal box in front of him suddenly shook violently. It was the impact caused by the diffusion of energy in the dagger. Then he could faintly hear Wei Wu's low roar coming from inside. Obviously, the impact of energy made Wei Wu extremely painful.

However, if he could be promoted one level higher now, there would be less danger later. Lin Ding could only pretend not to hear and sit aside to regulate his breathing.
