"You're really dreaming, aren't you? Once isn't enough, you want to do it again."
"I just feel that you people of the Immortal Ship are too greedy. Look at the sealed Jianmu tree and the heavily guarded Pan Peach Tree. Instead of wasting these precious things, it would be better to let someone who can truly utilize their abilities take them away."
"Then I reckon your idea is going to fail."
Bai Zhi crossed her arms and quietly watched Huan Long.
The ethereal Tingyun smiled gently, "My dear Lady Baizhi, that's not necessarily true. You don't think that the cautious me would be here in my true form, do you?"
"Of course I don't think so. I just want to say that your plan to merge with the peach tree has failed."
Bai Zhi knew perfectly well that Huanlong, a cunning and treacherous fellow known for his schemes and conspiracies, was not some useless puppet that could be killed, but something like a split spirit.
Otherwise, the other party wouldn't be able to chat with her so calmly here.
"oops."
Huanlong covered her mouth, "Lady Baizhi is so clever, such a small body, yet such great wisdom."
"However, just because I can't get it doesn't mean there will be fewer people who covet it, my dear Lady Baizhi. You know, although the Fengrao people have been so badly defeated by the Immortal Ship that they can't even lift their heads, the universe is so vast that even the remaining Fengrao people are probably a terrifying number."
"The Jianmu tree is the foundation of the immortals, the source of endless lifespan, and something coveted by the people of Fengrao. The Pantao tree is a miracle of abundance; the top-grade one can extend one's life by 500 years, greatly enhance one's physical and mental well-being, and has no other side effects."
"This is truly... terrifying. Even those who are not from Fengrao people would covet such a divine object."
"One celestial vessel and two bountiful miracles—in a sense, the cost-effectiveness is truly exceptional."
"If we take a little chance, we might be able to revive the glory of Fengrao Min."
Bai Zhi frowned, vaguely guessing what this guy was thinking.
"You want to release this information?"
"No, no, no, dear Lady Baizhi, this is not an announcement, this is a generous gift. Those who are dying, the surviving people of Fengrao, and even the company will probably have many thoughts about it."
Huanlong conjured a fan to cover her face. "There's an old saying on the Immortal Ship: 'Possessing a treasure is a crime.' I eagerly await the arrival of those people on this Immortal Ship of Luofu to join in this grand event."
Bai Zhi closed her eyes slightly, swung her sword, and slashed at Sui Yang's true form.
"buzz"
The sun was easily cleaved into sparks by the sword wind, floating in the air, leaving only the hazy voice echoing here.
"I hope this Luofu Mountain can bear the weight of these small gifts I've left for you."
"Looks like we're in trouble..."
Bai Zhi shook her head. It just so happened that this mess came out after Fei Xiao and General Huai Yan had both left.
Chapter 898 Little Angelica, You Take the Lead
"I apologize, Lady Baizhi. It was our negligence in patrolling that prevented us from discovering this villain lurking among us."
The Yunqi general in charge of guarding the area was filled with self-reproach. The general had entrusted him with an important task, but after only a few days, this incident had occurred.
"No, it's not your fault. Huanlong's disguise is so good that most people can't detect it."
Bai Zhi comforted the Cloud Cavalry general. After all, Huan Long was a Destruction Order Envoy, and a member of the Suiyang Clan, who was vastly different from ordinary creatures.
With these two factors combined, the opponent would be virtually invincible if they wanted to hide in the shadows and wait for an opportunity to strike.
In a head-on confrontation, Xianzhou was not afraid, but this kind of guy who was good at destroying things from the inside was far more dangerous than other Extinction Lords who were good at using force.
"Then, Lady Baizhi, what do you think we should do now?"
“Go inform General Jingyuan… never mind, I’ll tell him myself.”
Bai Zhi opened her phone and selected Jing Yuan's profile picture.
Bai Zhi: [General, are you there?]
A few seconds later, Jingyuan replied: [Little Baizhi, what's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?]
Bai Zhi: [Let me tell you a scary story. It won't be long before the Fengrao people's army and a bunch of random bastards come to attack the Luofu Immortal Ship.]
Jingyuan: [?]
Bai Zhi: [Just now, I exposed Huanlong's disguise in the cave where the peach tree was placed. She almost reenacted what happened back then here.]
Jing Yuan: [Little Bai Zhi, now that you say that, I guess that guy must have run away.]
Bai Zhi: [As expected of the General, your guess was spot on.]
Jing Yuan: [Huanlong is, after all, a veteran Great Ruler of Annihilation. How could he easily put himself in a disadvantageous position? But being exposed by Xiao Baizhi, Huanlong must be very unwilling. This attack by the Fengrao people's army is probably related to her.]
Bai Zhi: [Clever. Huanlong will soon reveal the situation of the Peach Tree, and we'll probably be plunged into war very soon.]
Jing Yuan: [Then let them come! The Immortal Ship has never feared war, and the Alliance's status didn't fall from the sky. We will give those who dare to invade a resounding victory!]
Jing Yuan: [Then I'll trouble Xiao Baizhi to come to the Shence Mansion. We must discuss a solution to this crisis.]
Putting down her phone, Bai Zhi looked at the Yunqi general and said, "I need to discuss the next steps with the general. You all need to keep a close watch on the peach tree."
"Yes!"
The cavalry general immediately saluted.
"Phew... Tamamo, it seems you'll have to put in some effort next."
Bai Zhi turned her gaze to Tamamo-no-Mae. After consuming a golden pill, Tamamo-no-Mae was now in her six-tailed form. Although she wasn't considered extremely powerful in the Star Iron World, she wasn't primarily an attacker but rather a support character.
Her Noble Phantasm also has the ability to heal the entire group, making it very useful on the battlefield.
If the Fengrao people launch a full-scale attack on Luofu, then she alone, even as the envoy, probably wouldn't be able to protect all the areas.
"Migu? Master is honored that Tamamo can use him~"
Tamamo-no-Mae smiled sweetly; this was exactly what she had been longing for.
She had received thorough training in being a good wife; besides cooking delicious food, it was also essential for her husband to make achievements in his career and in battle.
"Well, thank you for your help."
Bai Zhi nodded, and then quickly arrived at the Shence Mansion.
Upon arrival, several of the Six Emperors had already arrived, including Fu Xuan, Ling Sha, Yu Kong, and others.
"Little Angelica has arrived, perfect timing. Time is of the essence, let's get this meeting started."
Seeing that Bai Zhi had arrived, Jing Yuan nodded, then looked around at the others before speaking.
"First of all, regarding the leak of information about the Peach Tree, what kind of enemies will it attract to attack? Fu Qing should have already divined the result, right?"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned their gaze to Fu Xuan.
"Yes, after receiving General Jingyuan's message, I immediately performed an emergency divination. The divination shows that the news is spreading throughout the universe at an extremely fast speed. I'm afraid that within 12 hours, the entire universe will be in an uproar because of it."
Fu Xuan paused for a moment, then added, "In addition, the divination also reveals the issue of the scale of the attack, which is of greatest concern to everyone."
"Please make it clear, Your Excellency, that our Construction Department will ensure that all soldiers receive sufficient supplies."
The head of the Industrial Construction Department had a serious expression on his face.
After all, war is all about logistics. Without adequate logistics, everything is meaningless, especially in such a massive war. The machines in the Industrial Construction Department will probably have to run at full speed, and the allocation of related materials will also be a huge problem.
"Our Dan Ding Division also needs relevant intelligence to allocate manpower within the division."
Ling Sha also made a similar request.
"Please be patient, everyone. According to my divination, the number of the bountiful people who have come to attack, as well as those who are taking advantage of the chaos, is at least 1 to 2 million."
Bai Zhi frowned, but didn't say anything.
1 million to 2 million seems like a huge number, but in reality it's not that much.
The war between the Immortal Ship and the Abundant People lasted for the length of the Amber Era. The number of Abundant People who died in the war was countless, ranging from 1 million to 2 million. It is estimated that this was because the alliance had previously decimated the Abundant People, and the number of people that could be gathered in a short period of time was limited.
If it weren't for this, Bai Zhi felt that with the combined attraction of the peach trees and the Jianmu wood, the number of people could easily be increased fivefold.
"Based on the upper limit of 200 million... these guys who have already had their spines broken have really gone all out. Huanlong is quite capable, managing to connect so many tribes."
Jing Yuan said in a deep voice, "The Fengrao people were already being driven into a panic by the alliance. Bu Liren was one of them. They basically didn't dare to take the initiative to attack anymore, and there weren't many of them left."
The population could reach 2 million, but it's unknown how many tribes comprise it.
"In this defense against the Fengrao people's attack, Xiao Baizhi, you are a key force. I will allocate one-third of the military force to you, as well as your own guard. Can you command them?"
Jing Yuan knew, of course, that Bai Zhi didn't have much experience leading troops, but Bai Zhi's abilities were too outstanding. Her powerful recovery ability and the ability to prevent people from dying were enough to make up for the differences brought about by experience when it came to leading troops.
This shows that in the face of absolute power, all sorts of fancy tricks are just minor matters.
"Yes, no problem, I will take charge of leading these troops."
Bai Zhi nodded in agreement.
Chapter 899 Making the People of Abundance Great Again
"Have you heard? On the Luofu Immortal Ship, there is a bountiful miracle called the Peach Tree. The best one can add 500 years to your lifespan!"
Many people who came to watch the martial arts ceremony in the streets and alleys of Luofu Immortal Boat received related news notifications.
Without a doubt, even on a cosmic scale, immortality remains something most life forms dream of; otherwise, so many planets wouldn't be yearning for the blessing of the Pharmacist.
"I saw it! I saw it! I never expected that this immortal ship in Luofu would actually hide these two great miracles. Moreover, it says that it can not only add 500 years to one's lifespan, but also greatly enhance one's physical and mental strength."
"If I could get my hands on one of these, wouldn't I be a winner in life?"
Many people rolled their eyes. With such a big thing being exposed, wouldn't the Luofu Immortal Ship fall into chaos?
If you sneak in during that time, you might be able to snag a peach amidst the chaos.
That's a lifespan of 500 years and even greater power. Even if you don't eat it yourself, you could sell it and some wealthy people might pay enough to buy a remote planet.
With just a little effort, a bicycle can become a motorcycle.
Even if there's no chance to snatch the peaches, in the chaos, if someone steals or robs a few things, probably no one will know, right?
"Brother, your idea is too dangerous. If Yunqi finds out, we'll be locked up in jail."
"Hey, what are you saying? Don't you want to get one of those peaches? Think about it, how many people come to this immortal ship for immortality?"
The person who spoke first lowered their voice and began to bewitch him.
The other person fell silent. If it were just a regular benefit, most people would really have to consider whether it was worth it.
But the returns are just too high; it's not 300% profit anymore, it's practically 10,000%, which is really hard to resist.
"Alright, buddy, how about we give it a shot?"
"Okay... okay."
The other person hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
“Xier, we have to go help Xianzhou. If this gets out, it won’t be long before this place is in trouble.”
On the racing ship, Luca naturally saw the relevant news on his phone as well, and he made his choice almost without hesitation.
"Do I need you to remind me of this? The Cloud Rider Uncle in Beloborg has been very kind to us. If, as the internet says, some bountiful people come running over, I'll chop them all to pieces with my scythe!"
Seele disdainfully hoisted her enormous scythe onto her shoulder.
"Wolf Warrior, what's your take on this?"
The team behind The Wandering Earth also saw this notification.
"I believe no one is foolish enough to take advantage of a crisis, right?"
Wolf Warrior smiled, and the team members laughed too. Yes, joining a team that was taking advantage of the chaos at this time would be tantamount to suicide.
Even if the Luofu Immortal Ship eventually falls, there is more than one immortal ship. If they do something excessive and are purged by the Immortal Ship Alliance, that would be a terrible outcome.
They came to find a way for Earth, not to find a reason for Earth to be bombed by star destroyers.
"On the contrary, we should put in more effort here. If we can analyze the materials from that youth-preserving pill and come up with something new, it could be enough to start a new industry on Earth. If we can also take the initiative to maintain order here, we might get even more rewards."
"Haha, Wolf Warrior, you see it very clearly. That's what we were thinking too. Keep a close eye on this place. If anyone causes trouble, subdue them quickly."
In contrast, the Cloud Cavalry all received relevant assembly notices.
Li Sushang, who was taking Artoria and Gui Naifen on a boat trip, took out her constantly ringing cell phone.
"Li Sushang, Cloud Rider, return to the ranks immediately. The people of Fengrao will launch an offensive against Luofu soon. Repeat, return to the ranks immediately!"
A serious voice came from the phone.
