The Deep-Pocketed Great Thousand Pavilion
"Something happened?"
Upon hearing Xiao Han's serious words, Ice Emperor blurted out without hesitation:
"Is it that Heavenly Demon Emperor?"
Although the defense line was slightly weakened due to the withdrawal of several top combatants, the other Heavenly Supreme were not pushovers either, and overall it could still hold. The only place where an unexpected situation might occur was the Spirit King, whose strength relative to the other side was a mystery.
"Um."
As expected, Xiao Han nodded with a grave expression.
"The intelligence is wrong. That Heavenly Demon Emperor's strength is comparable to the mid-stage of the Saint Grade Heavenly Supreme. Although the seniors have temporarily repelled the opponent, they have also suffered heavy injuries. Apart from the Spirit King, who has the strongest combat power, the other four seniors are no longer able to fight in the short term."
It must be said that this sudden news completely extinguished the joy that Xiao Han felt after defeating the Blade Demon City.
However, Xiao Han did not dwell on this useless emotion for long and continued:
"The Spirit King has sent word that each of our defensive lines needs to send one Heavenly Supreme expert to stabilize the Grand Array formation."
"The reinforcements that held out until the Great Thousand Palace arrived."
"Shall I go?"
Ice Emperor suggested that since Blade Demon City had not been recaptured for long, the Blade Demon Race still posed a risk of making a comeback. In terms of defending the city, Xiao Han, Great Spirit Array Master, was far more skilled than him, a Heavenly Supreme.
"No."
However, Xiao Han shook his head and said, "I'll go this time."
"This involves the use of Spirit Array, and the Spirit King specifically summoned me to go."
When Xiao Han re-entered Saint Abyss City, the atmosphere within the city was noticeably heavier. Patrol figures moved through the streets and alleys, and a chilling atmosphere permeated the air.
"You've finally arrived."
When Xiao Han arrived at Great Thousand Road, Old Man Lan pulled him inside.
As soon as the two entered the hall, all eyes turned to them.
The gaze held admiration, surprise, and undisguised praise. Xiao Han, standing at the center of that gaze, felt as if he had thorns in his back, making him extremely uncomfortable.
"Young friend Xiao Han has truly opened the eyes of us old folks this time!"
The Spirit King, his face deathly pale, forced a weak smile and offered his praise.
When Xiao Han relayed the news of defeating the group of powerful Blade Demon Race entrenched on the Huan Continent to the Spirit King, everyone was shocked.
At first, they thought it was just a joke made by two young people with high aspirations, and they didn't have much hope.
Who knew that these two little guys would be so efficient? Just a month after the last meeting, that troublesome fortress collapsed.
However, behind the joy of recovering lost territory and the praise of having successors, there is also a strong sense of shame.
As seniors, they not only failed to provide support for their juniors, but even ended up needing their help.
"Your Spirit King flatters me. If there is anything I can do to help you, please feel free to ask."
Xiao Han's straightforward words interrupted the Spirit King's thoughts.
Pulling his thoughts back on track, the Spirit King pondered for a moment before looking at Xiao Han and asking in a serious tone:
"How skilled are you in Spirit Array formations, young friend Xiao Han?"
After the problem arose, Xiao Han keenly sensed the change in the atmosphere of the hall. After pondering for a moment, he looked up and stared directly at the Spirit King.
"Peak of the Spirit Grade".
"Can you manipulate the Saint Grade Great Array? How much of its power can you unleash?" The Spirit King's tone unconsciously carried a hint of anticipation.
With most of their peak combat power lost, there is no other way to stop the Heavenly Demon Emperor's advance except by relying on the Saint Grade Great Array outside Saint Abyss City.
This is their opinion.
However, Xiao Han was unable to provide an answer that would satisfy the Spirit King.
"Although Han can manipulate the Saint Grade Great Array, he can only unleash about two or three tenths of its power. It can buy time, but it is impossible to resist that Heavenly Demon Emperor."
The moment Xiao Han received the summons from the Spirit King, he guessed the other party's intentions.
In addition to the Saint Grade Defense Spirit Array visible outside the city, Saint Abyss City also has a Saint Grade Entrapment Formation.
Since the Spirit King and the others could not stop the Heavenly Demon Emperor, they could only keep him at the foot of Saint Abyss City to prevent him from causing trouble. This Trapping Array was their only reliance.
Unleashing the full power of the Saint-Rank Spirit Array, trapping a Heavenly Demon Emperor for ten to fifteen days is no problem. By then, reinforcements will be almost ready.
However, professional work should naturally be done by professionals. Spirit Array can only unleash their full power when manipulated by Spirit Array Master, especially the intricate and complex Saint Grade Great Array.
What truly made the group of powerful figures uneasy was that Xiao Han was currently only at the peak of the Spirit Grade, so how much of the power of the Saint Grade Great Array could he unleash?
However, despite their uncertainty, they still held onto the greatest possible hope.
Now, all hope Destruction!
The current situation clearly doesn't allow for any arbitrariness; their only option is to trust this exceptionally talented junior.
Two or three out of ten is acceptable; at least it's much better than blindly sending their few remaining Immortal Grade Peak Heavenly Supreme to the battlefield to die.
"Whatever help you need, whatever we have here, we'll provide it all!" At this critical moment of life and death, the Spirit King's decision was quite decisive.
Under normal circumstances, if other forces wanted to invite a Great Spirit Array Master to help them, they would certainly be prepared to be asked for an exorbitant price.
However, putting aside the fact that the Saint Abyss Continent, as the front line against the Extraterrestrial Evil race, has gathered so many powerful figures from the Great Thousand World, and that countless registered Demon Subjugator are receiving and exchanging various rewards at the Great Thousand Pavilion, the so-called enormous wealth of others is but a drop in the ocean for the Great Thousand Pavilion.
Knowing the urgency of the situation, Xiao Han could not allow himself to take advantage of others' misfortune. Having grown from humble beginnings to where he is today, he knew that some benefits should not be taken lightly.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Han slowly spoke amidst everyone's anticipation, uttering a series of ordinary names. Many senior figures who remained calm even when faced with imminent collapse changed their expressions.
The reason is simple: although Xiao Han didn't need any particularly rare materials, the sheer quantity accumulated would be worth no less than 10 billion Supreme Spirit Liquid —a terrifying sum. Even these old fogies, who had spent years immersed in the Heavenly Supreme and some even had Super faction behind them, might not have accumulated that much wealth in total.
"That's all?"
The Spirit King frowned. Just when everyone thought he felt the price was too high, a simple question made them truly realize the power of the Great Thousand Palace, the number one force in the Great Thousand World. A slightly important branch of the Great Thousand Pavilion could actually look down on an expense that could drain the wealth of a Heavenly Supreme.
Xiao Han: Poverty truly limits my imagination!
"Is there anything else you need?" Seeing Xiao Han's stunned expression, the Spirit King couldn't help but ask another question.
People's joys and sorrows are not the same. As Elder of the Great Thousand Palace, the Spirit King has never experienced the feeling of being short of money, and his understanding of the Supreme Spirit Liquid is also slightly skewed.
The expressionless crowd thought: No, he was just shocked by the wealth of the Great Thousand Pavilion!
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Han looked directly at the Spirit King and said calmly, "Leave the rest to me!"
