At those words, silence fell. The place grew so quiet that a falling needle could be heard.
Neither the Holdouts below nor Leng Qing on the throne spoke again.
Only Leng Qing knew how much she and the Holdouts had steeled themselves before making this choice.
The Holdouts knew how profoundly this decision would affect every Forbidden Land. They also knew how steep a price they would pay.
But Leng Qing led all the Holdouts of Myriad Poison Cloud Peak. Though the decision carried risks, success would bring immense rewards.
So no one objected.
Leng Qing waited a moment. When no one offered an opinion, she turned and said, "All right. Since no one has any objections, you may leave for now. Once I've contacted Qin An, I'll tell everyone what to do next."
The Holdouts nodded and filed out one by one.
Leng Qing took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and set the toxins within her body in motion.
The surroundings seemed to blur as she opened a channel to contact Qin An.
At that moment, Qin An looked at the words forming out of thin air before him, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
