Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1115 - 1111: Plans for Survival by Sacrifice
The Dragon Spirit glanced at his own hand, evidently somewhat regretful, having acted a bit too slowly earlier.
Such a pity, he only managed to cripple the old man’s hand and foot.
While the Dragon Spirit was feeling regret, the old man who had escaped was now seething with hatred.
His subordinates, after checking the old man’s injuries, were so frightened they immediately knelt down on the spot.
"Venerable... Venerable, your injuries..."
The forbidden techniques in their hands couldn’t even mend just broken bones; even if limbs were severed, they could be reattached.
However, now, their forbidden techniques were completely ineffective, and they couldn’t even ascertain the extent of the bone damage. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
When such a situation occurs, there is only one possibility.
That is, the person who harmed the Venerable not only used ruthless methods but also tampered with the wound.
The old man endured excruciating pain, clearly sensing the energy waves left by the Dragon Spirit on his injury.
As long as that energy remains, his injuries will never heal.
"Go... get the Energy Stone!"
The trembling subordinates kneeling on the ground originally thought they were doomed this time, fearing they wouldn’t even leave an intact corpse.
At this moment, hearing the old man’s words, they were somewhat unresponsive, as if doubting their own hearing.
"Hurry!"
The kneeling men only then realized it was not an auditory illusion.
They immediately scrambled to move the Energy Stone.
This Energy Stone was a treasure, capable of absorbing all remaining energy within a radius of ten miles.
That’s why they didn’t need to spend much effort hiding; as long as they had the Energy Stone, no one could pinpoint their exact location.
In no time, several people set up an engraved stone about half a person high.
"Venerable, the Energy Stone has been brought over."
The old man’s face had turned slightly pale, not only because of the severe injuries but also due to unbearable pain.
Moreover, the energy left by the Dragon Spirit at his wound seemed to have a destructive effect.
Continuously attacking parts of his body beyond the wound, making him feel as if all his bones were about to shatter.
Seeing the Energy Stone brought over, a hint of longing flashed in the old man’s eyes.
Enduring such bone-deep pain made him realize how fortunate it is to be healthy.
The old man placed his hand on top of the Energy Stone, hoping it could absorb the foreign energy waves within him.
For a long time, there was no change in the old man’s pain.
"Ugh~"
Upon confirming the Energy Stone was of no assistance, the old man, overwhelmed with emotions, spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Venerable!"
"Venerable!"
"Venerable!"
...
Sadly, at this point, the old man had already completely fainted and couldn’t hear the exclamations from his subordinates.
If the Dragon Spirit had seen this scene, he would definitely have said "serves you right," and then gloated.
The karma he planted wasn’t that easy to remove, unless he died, otherwise, those energy waves would never dissipate.
The Dragon Spirit continued wandering the street for quite a while, finally getting a good grasp of the situation in Lotus City.
Considering what Yun Ran had said before, he roughly understood.
As long as no trouble arises, this disaster will soon subside.
As for those who want to release the resentful spirit and devour other offerings to transform them into demon spirits.
The Dragon Spirit had already guessed who they were.
Now, they just needed to wait.
The Dark Masters of Fuhu City were gathered at the Xuan Master Association in Lotus City.
Except for those dispatched, everyone else here wore worried expressions.
This made the Dark Masters of Fuhu City somewhat angry.
"With such a major incident in Lotus City, why aren’t you all thinking of resolving it, instead of just sitting here!"
The people of Lotus City felt these outsiders were speaking without understanding.
"That’s because you don’t know who your enemy is; if you did, you’d make the same choice as us!"
Ever since realizing the incident in Lotus City was similar to the incident in the town that was wiped out previously.
These Dark Masters were contemplating finding a way out for themselves.
As for the city’s population, it wasn’t that they didn’t want to save them, but they simply couldn’t.
At this moment, wanting to save themselves and leave a way out for their juniors is human nature.
Even some noble families within Lotus City were taking out family heirlooms.
Hoping to enable some juniors to survive, everyone planned for drastic measures.
Yet now, the people from Fuhu City accused them of not doing enough.
"What exactly do you in Lotus City want to do!"
Chairman Liu of the Lotus City Xuan Master Association, facing the people who came to aid them, couldn’t bring himself to lie.
He could only recount the situation truthfully.
"That expert clearly couldn’t suppress this situation here and could only buy us some time.
Regarding the town that got wiped out, you in Fuhu City knew as well, so you should understand such disaster cannot be resolved.
All we can do now is gather more strength, and leave a portion of hope for Lotus City, that’s our limit."
Upon hearing this, those who previously stood on a moral high ground, accusing those in Lotus City of cowardice, suddenly didn’t know what to say.
If you say the people in Lotus City were ruthless, they indeed were, not caring about the lives of ordinary people.
But to say they’re wrong, they merely made a choice between two dire outcomes.
It’s preferable to this tragedy claiming them all.
After a long while, people from Fuhu City asked, "Chairman Liu, can’t we ask that expert to think of any solution?
Since he has already intervened, and his people remain in Lotus City, could he really bear to see so many lives lost?"
Chairman Liu thought the same previously, but the result was unsatisfactory.
Especially now, the situation was clearly very dire.
But the more dire it was, the less they dared to force the issue, fearing to anger the expert, who might then withdraw the means delaying the disaster.
It would be a great loss for them.
Now deciding to sacrifice a portion and preserve a portion is already the best choice they have.
