"What's going on? What happened?" Li Qi rushed out and brought her back.

Three powerful figures were still fighting in the distance, creating a magnificent scene. The battlefield stretched for hundreds of miles, but fortunately, it did not reach the canyon in this area, so Li Qi was temporarily safe and sound.

When Shen Shuibi returned, she first took a few deep breaths, then said to Li Qi, "Li Qi... Her Your Highness is really in danger. That's not Her Your Highness over there, it's Yang Ning!"

"Yang Ning and I are the same...belong to the Your Highness— " Shen Shuibi was about to introduce.

Li Qi immediately interrupted, "I know, the essence of the sun and the condensation of yang have already been introduced by that demon. Let's get to the point."

"Yes, the Your Highness is not dead, but she is extremely weak. It is unknown how many years it will take for her to recover. As for what is happening over there, it is Yang Ning bluffing. However, Yang Ning's injuries are also very serious, and she is probably no match for these two demons."

Li Qi was about to say something, but Shen Shuibi covered Li Qi mouth and said seriously, "Don't speak yet, let me speak. This kind of power is not something you can resist. Don't try to think about it in your own way. Divine Ability above the sixth rank are simply inconceivable and incomprehensible to you."

"I have come up with a plan. I will give you the Your Highness's honorific name, which will directly point to the Your Highness's remaining true spirit. At that time, you will set up an altar and offer me as a sacrifice. Although my power has dissipated, my rank remains. Your sacrifice of me can help the Your Highness's true spirit to temporarily revive. As long as the Your Highness recovers even a little bit of power, the crisis can be resolved," Shen Shuibi said very seriously.

"What about you?! This won't do, there must be other ways." Li Qi panicked when he heard this.

Using Shen Shuibi as a 'sacrifice' means nothing more than sending Shen Shuibi to her death, doesn't it?

He could not accept sacrificing Shen Shuibi in exchange for a temporary recovery of Lady Luofu.

"There's no other way!" Shen Shuibi said anxiously. "Look over there, Yang Ning's injuries are no less severe than mine. She won't last much longer." Shen Shuibi pointed to the scenery not far away.

Over there, armies clashed, and even the weakest among them were genuine demons, capable of easily killing dozens of people and becoming a nightmare for the region.

But these are only the weakest. There are other ninth-rank, eighth-rank, and even seventh-rank demons who are unleashing their Divine Ability without restraint, pouring their firepower on the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

The ground was now completely cracked, and the rock strata were creaking! The shockwaves from the impact created solid waves that continued to propagate forward across the earth!

Under immense force, the land and rock layers generated huge ripple-like shockwaves, like the surface of water, which spread for several kilometers, forming an incredible crater!

The earth collapsed directly, the wind and clouds surged, the sun and moon were obscured, and the mountains seemed to tremble and howl. The aftershocks of the flames burned across the entire sky, and thick, acrid black smoke swirled in the sky like beacon fires.

The crimson Soldier's Qi, like fiery clouds, stretched across the sky, as if the heavens had been neatly painted with a layer of red lacquer.

Most of the sky turned blood red. The sun was like a hole in the sky, a wound from which blood gushed out continuously, staining the horizon red.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, supernatural Divine Ability flew everywhere. A celestial general cleaved through a giant rock hundreds of meters high with a single halberd, but could only scratch the skin of a giant bear demon general. The giant bear demon general suddenly leaped up, and the earthquake wave it stirred up when it landed faintly carried Demon Power, causing dozens of celestial soldiers to disintegrate into white smoke.

The golden light on the heavenly soldier had turned into a purplish-gold color, not because he looked handsome, but because the 'Curse Demon King' in the sky was casting a spell, turning him into a puppet with a stiff body and greatly reduced combat power.

The purple insect venom is eroding the golden light protecting the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. After some time, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals will probably be completely defeated.

However, judging from this speed, it will probably take more than half a day.

Li Qi understood that this meant he only had a little over half a day left.

Perhaps Yang Ning has other ways to hold on for a while, but it certainly won't be for long.

"There must be other ways. Give me fifteen minutes, just fifteen minutes. It won't delay things. I'm sure I can come up with a solution," Li Qi said, pressing Shen Shuibi down.

However, what he was thinking was that if there was really no other way, he would forcibly take Shen Shuibi and run away.

Shen Shuibi will inevitably resent him because of this, but there's nothing she can do about it.

He couldn't bring himself to kill Shen Shuibi and use her as a 'sacrifice,' even if it meant becoming enemies with Shen Shuibi afterward.

Shen Shuibi also knew that a quarter of an hour wouldn't affect the overall situation, so she waited for Li Qi.

However, she is usually very patient and can often sit alone in a daze for Chen without getting bored.

But now, in the short span of a quarter of an hour, she repeatedly watched the battlefield and Li Qi, her heart filled with anxiety, wishing that time would burn out quickly and be sped up several times.

Li Qi, however, wished time would slow down as much as possible, so he could think more and consider things further.

What cards can I use?

Now, the only thing I can rely on is Wushen Mountain, but Wushen Mountain is too far away, and I'm afraid I can't count on it.

But this kind of thing shouldn't require Wushen Mountain to personally intervene. If I have a way to communicate with Wushen Mountain... given the importance of Lady Luofu, there will definitely be a real big shot who will take action remotely and crush these two little brats.

But how do we communicate with Wushen Mountain?

The diviners found it difficult to determine the location of Lady Luofu because her rank was too high.

They couldn't guess who he was because he was an Outer Dao and difficult to Young Master Zhu. That was why Young Master Zhu sent him here. The arrival of an Outer Dao would prevent the Lady Luofu from misunderstanding and thinking that Wushen Mountain was there to take advantage of the chaos.

As for deduce about Shen Shuibi, that's meaningless, because Young Master Zhu had already planted a trap for Shen Shuibi in advance, which means they also knew that Shen Shuibi was not with Lady Luofu. The purpose of the plan was to have Shen Shuibi go to find Lady Luofu, and now she has been found. However, Young Master Zhu probably didn't expect that Lady Luofu would encounter a survival crisis.

Therefore, in conclusion, under the current circumstances, there is no way to directly communicate with Wushen Mountain.

What should we do then?

What kind of assistance can be taken into account? What can be made to attract the attention of Wushen Mountain?

Wait a minute, just now, when those two demons were boasting, didn't they say, "Within a radius of ten thousand miles of White Snake Mountain, my brother and I are in charge, and even the governor can only close the city gates and not come out"?

This means that there are at least two people who can help him and are willing to help him!

The governor of White Snake Prefecture, and the White Snake Mountain!

These two are probably being suppressed by the Curse Demon King and the Bear Kill King, but what if they show themselves now and help me contact the Wushen Mountain?!
