81: Chapter 81 The Desperate World of Tianlan

As Ge Nie finished speaking, everyone present consciously restrained their Qi.

Although Ge Nie usually didn't concern himself with trivial matters, he possessed absolute authority within the Divine Martial Guard; no one dared to disobey his words.

After the three caught their breath, Ge Nie did not continue speaking but instead turned his gaze to Ye Tian, who was sitting beside him.

The meaning was clear: "Handle the rest yourself; I'm done with this!"

Seeing this, Ye Tian, who served as the Deputy Commander, understood immediately. After all, he was an old fellow who had lived for a hundred thousand years; he certainly possessed the ability to read the room.

Besides, Ge Nie was the leader; such trivial matters did not require him to personally preside over them. The fact that he appeared here at all was already a sign of great importance.

Ye Tian first nodded at Ge Nie before turning his attention to the three visitors from another world.

"The three of you! We invited you here to understand more about your world! Also, tell us about the people who invaded your world—what is their strength?"

"Please give us a detailed account. Once we understand the situation clearly, we can better assist you..."

When they saw Ye Tian speaking, the three from Tianlan World were stunned once again.

They couldn't help it; Ye Tian looked far too young. He appeared to be at most seventeen or eighteen years old, much younger than them.

However, judging by the seat he occupied and the attitude of the experts around him, this youth clearly held an extraordinary status.

Moreover, they could not feel any oppressive pressure from him; instead, he exuded a gentle air, like a spring breeze.

This discovery made their hearts tremble even more!

To hold such a high position among this group of wolves and tigers while maintaining such a peaceful aura meant that either his cultivation had reached the realm of returning to simplicity, or his methods and intellect far surpassed ordinary people.

Regardless of which it was, he was certainly no ordinary person!!

The three dared not be negligent. They quickly gathered their thoughts and bowed again, saying, "Greetings, My Lord! Regarding our Tianlan World and the invaders from the Black Fiend Realm, we, the Juniors, will tell you everything we know without holding anything back!"

The young man among the three gathered his thoughts slightly and began to introduce the situation.

"Respected Seniors! Our Tianlan World primarily focuses on the cultivation of Alchemy, and the one ruling Tianlan World is our Qin Dynasty!"

"Under our Qin Dynasty, there are three major Alchemy Sects, as well as many smaller Sects and clans."

"The strongest in our Tianlan World are the two Old Ancestors of our Qin family, both of whom are in the Celestial Realm. Each of the three major Alchemy Sects also has one Old Ancestor in the Celestial Realm!"

"Because the invasion by the Black Fiend Realm was too sudden, and given their powerful strength, our Tianlan World simply could not resist."

"When we escaped, the people from the Black Fiend Realm had already attacked the capital of our Qin Dynasty. Because our Qin Dynasty has a Formation left behind by our Old Ancestors, we temporarily resisted the attacks of the Black Fiend Realm!"

"But that Formation cannot hold for much longer. My father, the Emperor, said that the Black Fiend Realm has experts at the Land Immortal level. Perhaps by now, our Tianlan World has already been..."

At this point, the young man's voice choked with emotion, and the two women beside him burst into tears out of sorrow.

"Oh? Only the Celestial Realm?" After hearing the young man's words, everyone present brightened up.

A world with only Celestial Realm experts was a piece of cake for their Divine Martial Guard! Sending just a few people from here would probably be enough to wipe them out.

The fact that His Majesty handed this over to them was simply handing them credit on a silver platter... As for the trio's heartbroken appearance, no one present cared at all!

"In that case! The matter of Tianlan World will be left to Deputy Ye Tian..."

After Ge Nie finished speaking, he ignored everyone and stood up to leave!

A world with only Celestial Realm experts was simply not worth his effort...

After Ge Nie left, the scene instantly erupted. Everyone looked at Ye Tian with burning eyes.

"Deputy Commander, for this attack on Tianlan World, please let me take the lead!"

As soon as Li Youming finished speaking, others in the great hall also began to chime in.

"Deputy Commander, I am also willing to take the lead!"

"Deputy Commander, leave it to me; I have already reached the Middle Stage of the Land Immortal!"

"Get lost! You have the nerve to ask to lead with only a Middle Stage of the Land Immortal cultivation? Deputy Commander, let me take the lead; I have already reached the Late Stage of the Land Immortal..."

"Is the Late Stage of the Land Immortal so impressive? Do you not even care about me, a Peak of the Land Immortal?"

Just as the Divine Martial Guards were scrambling to take the lead, on the other side, in the Tianlan World, within the palace of the Qin Dynasty!

At this moment, all the high-level figures of the various factions in Tianlan World were gathered here.

These leaders were like ants on a hot pan, their faces filled with despair.

Although the Formation protecting the palace had not yet been broken, everyone knew in their hearts that once the Formation fell, death would follow. It was only a matter of time...

Throughout the entire Tianlan World, many factions had already surrendered because they could see no hope...

And at this moment, the Qin Palace was the last remaining resistance force in this world!

Inside the palace's council hall, no one spoke; everyone was silent.

Even the few Old Ancestors in the Celestial Realm were filled with despair!

"My Alchemy Sect has three 'Soul Burning Pills' left." An old man with white hair and beard, wearing a slightly damaged Daoist robe, broke the silence with a hoarse voice.

"Consuming one can briefly unleash power that exceeds one's own by a major Rank, but the cost is... the total destruction of the Divine Soul."

Upon hearing this, everyone trembled. There was no sign of hope in their eyes; instead, a sense of sorrow deepened.

The Soul Burning Pill. It was a final resort to perish together with the enemy, but even if they could kill a few more Black Fiend Realm experts, what use would it be for the overall situation?

The endless army outside, like a black tide, and those powerful existences at the Land Deity Realm were the true source of their despair.

"My Medicine King Sect still has two 'Blood Explosion Pills'! Consuming them can allow us old fellows to temporarily step into the Land Immortal Realm!"

"The cost is... bleeding from the seven orifices and exploding to death!"

"This..."

At this moment, the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Wu, slowly raised his head. His gaze swept over the crowd, and he said in a somewhat dry voice,

"Everyone... it is my Qin Dynasty's incompetence, it is my Qin family's incompetence that we failed to protect this ancestral foundation, and even failed to protect our entire Tianlan World..."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to blame yourself!" An old general, clad in tattered armor and covered in blood, knelt on one knee, tears in his eyes.

"The Black Fiend Realm is powerful; this is not a failure of our strategy! I only hate that the Heavenly Dao is unfair—it bestowed our world with talent for Alchemy, but did not grant us the power to protect it!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, we are willing to perish with the capital!"

"Let's fight to the death and not let those demonic brats have an easy time!"

"Yes, what is death? We are willing to perish with the Dynasty!"

Inside the entire hall, only a small portion of people still retained their fighting spirit!

More people had fallen into despair!

You must know, when facing life and death, very few people can remain calm.

Not surrendering immediately was already considered having quite a bit of backbone!

Just as this atmosphere of despair was about to swallow everyone...

"Rumble—!!!!" A loud noise suddenly reached everyone's ears...
