The more Xie Feng showed his dislike for the War Faction, the happier Yuan Ling became.
That way, they'll be on the same side!
He can then recruit Xie Feng into his group!
The Peace Faction and the War Faction are sworn enemies, and neither can convince the other!
Xie Feng looked at the healing medicine and feigned surprise. "What's this?"
Yuan Ling said, "Since I gave you the Heaven Realm, Shi Yan's targeting of you is also targeting me, which is something I cannot tolerate! Young Master Xie, I believe that since we are both victims of the War Faction, and you previously mentioned that you have relatives on Peak of Heaven, then we should join forces to deal with Shi Yan!"
"I believe this method is feasible! That fellow Shi Yan is arrogant, conceited, a violent maniac, and a two-faced scoundrel. If we can further our cooperative relationship with you, Clan Chief, I would be more than happy to do so."
Xie Feng gritted his teeth, fully expressing his hatred for Shi Yan.
Yuan Ling nodded repeatedly; these words truly resonated with him.
"Young Master Xie, our Peace Faction is in dire straits, and the War Faction could attack at any moment. Therefore, there is no time to lose; I want to strike first! Especially with your assistance, Young Master Xie, it would be a tremendous boost to our Peace Faction!"
Yuan Ling said it from the bottom of his heart!
He acknowledged not only Xie Feng, but also the mysterious person behind Xie Feng!
They were given a huge sum of money back then!
They beat him into submission!
Xie Feng said, "Before coming here, I infiltrated the War Faction for several days and obtained some confidential information. Clan Chief, we are now completely trusted partners, so I am willing to share this information with you."
Yuan Ling's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly, "Please speak, Young Master Xie!"
Do you know about the Pillar of Creation?
"This is the energy source upon which Peak of Heaven depends for its survival!"
"Based on my prediction, Shi Yan will definitely lead his army to destroy the Pillar of Creation within three months!"
"What?"
Yuan Ling's heart skipped a beat.
As Peace Faction, he naturally wanted to contribute to the long-term development of the Demon-Burying Clan, and to a certain extent, he also did not want anything to happen to Peak of Heaven.
He, who frequently traveled to and from Peak of Heaven, knew far more about the power of the Emperor Phoenix Clan than Shi Yan!
That was a terrifying force!
Dominating the Fifth Universe is no joke!
The deeper you understand, the more fearful, insecure, and yearning for peace you become!
It was precisely because he understood his own shortcomings that he believed he would not live to see the fall of Peak of Heaven.
No one has the power to bring it down!
Xie Feng said, "Clan leader, there's no need to panic too much. Shi Yan has this plan, but as far as I know, Peak of Heaven is currently unaware of it. I believe that if the clan leader wants to do something, the best way is to have people guard the vicinity of the Pillar of Creation! In this way, when Feng Yan finds out, they will surely be grateful for the clan leader's efforts, which will further promote friendly exchanges between the two clans."
Yuan Ling was intrigued.
Xie Feng asked, "I have a question. How many people does the clan leader plan to send to guard the Pillar of Creation?"
"Four hundred thousand!"
"That's too few, at least a million! Troops are consumables, what can a few hundred thousand do?"
"I can't produce it."
Yuan Ling looked troubled.
Xie Feng was speechless. How come he encountered the same problem as Shi Yan!
Even Yuan Ling was in a more predicament...
They can't even come up with a million; no wonder they can only talk about peace!
Yuan Ling's eyes flickered, and he had an idea. "However, our main base is located outside the Fifth Universe, and it's divided into two factions. I can go to the elders of our Peace Faction and request support!"
How long will it take?
"From the time we leave the past until we deploy our troops and enter the Fifth Universe, it will take at least five years!"
"Are you kidding me?"
Xie Feng was speechless. Five years? By then, it's all too late!
No wonder the war has been going on for over a decade, and the main base is still locked in outer space...
Smuggling them in bit by bit is just not efficient!
Yuan Ling helplessly spread his hands. "That's just how it is. There's the Eternity Battlefield on the border, the Peak of Heaven inside, and everyone in the Fifth Universe considers us invaders and deeply hates us. Bringing in a million people in five years is already a remarkable feat... Even if we try to shorten the time, it will still take at least three years..."
Xie Feng asked directly, "In Yellow Springs City, what's the maximum number of people you can send?"
Yuan Ling hesitated for a moment, then gave a vague answer, "Over four hundred thousand..."
"Not enough!"
"Six hundred thousand, that's all I can come up with."
"Add a little more! Otherwise, this matter will be really difficult to handle! Unless you tell me that all 600,000 of your troops are at the God King level!"
Xie Feng's gaze was cold and unwavering, showing no mercy.
Yuan Ling smiled wryly, "You think you can just ask for as much as you want with a few words?"
If they're not your own soldiers, you won't care about them!
But he couldn't produce it!
In other words, if his army consisted entirely of God King, he would be confident enough to send out an army even if it numbered only 100,000, let alone 600,000.
The key point is, he didn't!
This is very sad...
"Eight hundred thousand!"
Yuan Ling gritted his teeth, as if making a desperate gamble, "This is my last line of defense. If I really can't afford any more, the old, weak, sick, and disabled will have to take it!"
Since he was already like this, Xie Feng couldn't say anything more.
He sighed softly, "Well, eight hundred thousand it is... you've done your best."
Yuan Ling: "..."
Although Xie Feng was telling the truth, why was he unwilling to listen?
It's definitely not his problem!
With the help of the Yuan Ling, Xie Feng wasn't in a hurry to go to the main camp. He decided to go to the Pillar of Creation first to get a better understanding of it.
Yuan Ling offered to help him borrow troops from the main camp.
"I just can't guarantee how long it will take to get back... You don't know this, but within our ranks, the extreme War Faction consider seeking peace with Peak of Heaven to be treasonous. But I'm doing this for the long-term development of both races. The fact is, it was indeed our Demon-Burying Clan that first seized Peak of Heaven's interests! We must learn to repent! Well, we can't talk about this anymore, or we'd be talking for three days and three nights. Wait for my news."
Yuan Ling turned and left, extremely efficient.
To make it easier to stay in touch, Xie Feng gave him a communication stone.
Xie Feng returned to the Heaven Realm, where Shi Yan was already waiting for him at the Jade Pivot Sect.
He led Xie Feng to the back door, and since Feng Luo was the doorman, she turned a blind eye, and the two left without incident.
The Pillar of Creation exist independently outside the Fifth Universe.
It does not belong to any universe.
It stands atop a Savage Wilderness and mysterious purplish-red Lucky Nebula.
This nebula was incredibly vast. As the two landed, they were instantly enveloped by a strange, ever-changing cloud of mist.
Surrounded by a vast sea of stars, with towering Cloud Mountain before my eyes!
The Pillar of Creation is located inside a cave!
Shi Yan stopped. He surveyed his surroundings and said, "Young Master Xie, I cannot go any further. I've been here before and was marked by the defensive array. If I continue deeper, I fear I might trigger it! I don't want to alert them!"
