At that moment, Tang Changsheng said to the Ghost King Emissary, "You can see how fierce the fighting is at Cloudtail Mountain. I have no forces to spare... But your Ghost King can lead his troops here and take refuge on Cloudtail Mountain!"
"This..." The emissary hesitated.
Tang Changsheng waved a hand. "Go!"
The next instant, the emissary was carried out of Cloudtail Mountain against his will and deposited below.
After all, the whole of Cloudtail Mountain was under Tang Changsheng's control. What was moving a person or two? As long as he remained on Cloudtail Mountain, his power approached that of a True Immortal!
The emissary's expression shifted. If he truly brought his people onto Cloudtail Mountain, their lives would be in Tang Changsheng's hands... By then, surrender would be their only choice.
But if they did not surrender, they could not hold out much longer!
For a time, the emissary struggled with the decision.
Tang Changsheng no longer cared what the emissary decided. Even Ghost King Qibi's eventual choice was no longer his concern.
Whatever happened, he only needed to hold out for another two days at most. Once reinforcements arrived, every difficulty would be resolved...
But would the reinforcements from Nine-Chamber Mountain really come?
Tang Changsheng was no longer sure. For the past two days, the Earth Qi had been unstable, and tremors had repeatedly passed through the Spirit Pools and Earth Veins.
The earth was vast and heavy, bearing all things without stirring. The slightest movement, when it manifested in the Present World, meant earthquakes and landslides of one scale or another.
How could such frequent tremors in the Earth Veins be ordinary? Who knew how many major earthquakes and landslides had already struck farther away?
Most crucially, those tremors were coming from Nine-Chamber Mountain.
