Light Fortress Chapter 1913 - 9: Rescue Conference

Lin Lin spoke at this moment: "The mobilization speed of the North Continent is rapid, but even the fastest requires time... I propose setting the strike time for the Heavenly Sheath Weapon to be a week later. Because it is not only the Ancient Literature Society that wants to save people."

Lin Chou glanced somewhat surprised at his younger brother.

Lin Lin then turned his gaze to Bai Xiu.

"I also want to save someone."

Little Xiuzi softly said, "Her name is Gu Xiaoman... she was the little girl that the Source Tower snatched from Sangzhou Cave back then."

"I know... she is the future Lord of Wine."

With a profound implication, Meng Xizhou spoke, though she did not participate in the action at Sangzhou Cave seven years ago, after leaving the Secret Dungeon, she became fully aware of the inside story regarding Sangzhou Cave.

"Gu Xiaoman is my disciple."

With lowered eyes, Bai Xiu said, "I can’t let her remain trapped in a land of imprisonment."

Now with [Deep Sea] holding all the authority, Gu Xiaoman staying in Central Continent is indeed very dangerous.

The alliance of the three continents urgently needs to cultivate a new Divine Throne.

Central Continent as well.

For this outstandingly talented Torch of Wine Chosen One, [Deep Sea] will not immediately go for destruction.

It has seized the Light God’s Seat and General Bai Xi’s shell.

Gu Xiaoman’s shell.

More enticing than the two of them.

If the seizure fails, confirming that Gu Xiaoman cannot be used for its purposes... [Deep Sea] will mercilessly destroy her.

"Indeed... she must be brought out."

Meng Xizhou nodded; she neither wanted to see an opposing Divine Throne emerge from Central Continent nor wanted Gu Xiaoman to perish.

"Whether it’s Gu Xiaoman or the victims of the Ancient Literature Society, it is very necessary to rescue them..."

Meng Xizhou pondered quietly; she had already begun to think, perhaps the week’s preparation time was a bit too short.

Suddenly.

She noticed an image at the very end.

The image was sent over from the Holy City.

Above the Ice Sea, countless tides were forming and structuring a robust cage.

Inside the cage, a Red Dragon drenched in blood was trapped firmly, its spirit weakened to the extreme, barely alive.

"Is this... the Red Dragon?"

The psychic projection displayed by Lu Nanzhi was quite abundant; this image was dim and placed at the back, so at first, Meng Xizhou hadn’t noticed.

"Yes... the Red Dragon is currently imprisoned in the Ice Sea by the Spring Plow Saint."

Lu Nanzhi spoke in a deep voice: "The Holy City detained him, acting as a hostage, demanding a large amount of Strong Logic Material and sealing items from Huazhi, along with a medium-sized Source Energy Boat with permissions erased."

She placed this image at the end.

Intending to bring up the matter of the Red Dragon towards the end of the meeting, as this issue was especially complex and explaining it was quite troublesome.

Now... the meeting was nearing its end.

The demands made by the Holy City were conveyed with spiritual power from Lu Nanzhi to every member’s Heart Lake attending the meeting.

"The Red Dragon has been imprisoned?"

Bai Xiu’s Heart Lake gave a sudden thud.

During this period, he had been wandering in the [Old World], unaware of what happened inland.

Regarding the Ancient Literature Society’s wanted order, when he learned about it, he wasn’t too concerned about the Red Dragon.

When he left Chanyi City, there were already many disputes along the Yuanting Island coast; Bai Xiu knew the Red Dragon was on a mission in the Ice Sea, with his strength, as long as he wasn’t within Central Continent’s borders, escaping shouldn’t be a problem.

But who could have anticipated?

The Storm Church’s saint would intervene in this matter.

Seeing this image now, Bai Xiu became deeply worried.

"The Storm Church making demands for Strong Logic Material and sealing items is understandable, but demanding a Source Energy Boat?"

Lin Chou furrowed his brows: "What does that mean?"

Just as Lu Nanzhi was about to speak.

"The Holy City is preparing to flee the Southern Continent."

Bai Xiu stood up and said in a grave tone, "Over the years, the Storm God’s Throne has always left a back door... under the sea of Ice Sea, there lies an ancient starship from former times. The Storm God’s Throne has always been a firm ’escapism advocate’, not believing the Five Continents could withstand the scourge of the Source Material Storm. So upon acquiring the starship, they started plotting their escape."

Lu Nanzhi raised her eyebrows slightly.

After learning this information, she deduced a similar result and intended to share her guesses at this moment.

Now it seemed unnecessary.

Seeing Bai Xiu’s firm stance, he appeared to have confirmed his hypothesis through other channels.

Lu Nanzhi chose to remain silent, giving the floor to Little Xiuzi.

"So that’s how it is..."

Lin Chou’s response and acceptance speed were quick.

Bai Xiu pointed it out, and he immediately understood the cause and effect.

"So during the Ice Sea exploration mission, the Storm detonated the dispatched airship... he doesn’t care at all about the future of the Five Continents."

Bai Xiu said coldly, "This guy is preparing to flee the Five Continents, demanding the medium-sized Source Energy Boat to store it inside the starship hull, making it convenient to deploy church members to explore unknown routes after reaching the [Old World]. After this transaction, the Storm Church will leave with its core members."

"Indeed..."

"The Ancient Literature Society hasn’t responded to the Holy City’s demands."

Lu Nanzhi continued with a slow tone, "With my understanding of the Storm Church, this trade is highly likely to be a trap... the Holy City won’t hand over the Red Dragon because of Huazhi’s concession."

"You’ve done the right thing."

Duke Zhuxue nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "If you easily agree, those church folks will surely demand again."

After dealing with them over the years, he knew too well what kind of people they were in the Holy City.
