Lin Bai thought it over seriously before saying:
"I'll tell Qi Lingyu the truth about the situation the Nine Underworlds Demon Palace is facing and hope he can understand."
Li Guxian shook her head with a bitter smile.
"Emperor Child Senior Brother, you're being far too optimistic."
"When someone falls into the water and struggles for survival, no matter what they manage to grab, they'll use it to desperately climb upward."
"They might even turn the people who jumped into the water to save them into stepping stones to reach the shore."
He drew a deep breath and sighed.
"That's exactly the situation Qi Tian Sect is in. They're like drowning men, and they'll do anything to save themselves."
Lin Bai pinched his chin and sighed softly. He knew there was some truth in what Li Guxian had said.
Qi Tian Sect's current situation was even more difficult than that of the Nine Underworlds Demon Palace.
Qi Tian Sect had already been at a disadvantage while resisting the four great flourishing forces of the Southern Region and countless martial artists.
Then the Southern Border Insect Valley released a plague within Qi Tian Sect's territory, causing countless martial artists to collapse in an instant.
If this continued, even if the Southern Region stopped attacking, Qi Tian Sect would be destroyed without a fight if the plague could not be brought under control.
That was why Qi Tian Sect was doing everything it could to seek reinforcements. As long as there was even the faintest glimmer of hope, they would not give up easily.
They also knew very clearly that once they gave up, only a dead end awaited them.
"All right."
"I understand."
"I'll go see Qi Lingyu. We'll talk after I meet him."
Li Guxian nodded lightly without objection.
