At this moment, Bibi Dong said from the side, "But how can we stop Qian Xunji?"
"Now that Xue Qinghe has become the gateway connecting the two worlds, does that mean that if we eliminate him, we can stop the Ghost Clan from invading?" Qian Renxue asked at this moment.
This was the idea of most people, but the Dragon Maiden shook her head and said, "No, we can't. They've already thought of this method. If we do it, we'll be playing right into their hands."
"Because this passage is bidirectional, meaning it can only be opened when both worlds are in operation simultaneously! And currently, the power in the Underworld is already sufficient; everything depends on how much power we have here."
"But if we defeat Xue Qinghe at this moment, it will instantly unleash his power, like detonating a bomb! And this power will become the fuse for his breakthrough into the Underworld."
Hearing the Dragon Maiden's explanation, Qi Ling roughly understood, but if that was the case, how could she stop Qian Xunji's plot?
"In short, to stop Qian Xunji's plot, we must close this passage," the Dragon Maiden continued. "And because the passage has already been opened, and is bidirectional, to completely close it, someone must go to the Underworld and close that passage as well."
Even if the Dragon Maiden didn't say it, everyone knew how dangerous this mission was. After all, judging from the current situation, the Underworld was likely a more advanced world, like the Devil Realm and the Divine Realm. It was unimaginable how powerful the beings in that world were.
"Good, it's good that there's a solution!" Qi Ling said. "Since this mission is so dangerous, I think only I can complete it. So, I'll go to the Underworld and close the passage there."
"What? Big brother, this won't do!" Tang San exclaimed. "It's too dangerous, and we can't do this without you here. Let me go!"
"Even if I fail, with you here, brother, there's still hope for redemption. So please let me go to the Underworld and close the passage there."
Qi Ling shook her head and said, "No, it's precisely because this mission is so difficult that I have to go. Xiao San, you stay here and help everyone close this passage."
" Dragon Maiden, if I'm not mistaken, the dangers aren't limited to the Underworld, are they? Something must be happening here too, right?"
The Dragon Maiden nodded and said, "That's right. Before you close the passage, it will remain open, and its power will continue to increase. Ghost Clan will constantly emerge from this passage and come to this world."
"These Ghost Clan will do everything they can to transform this area into an environment suitable for their survival. In this way, the passage will become wider and wider, and eventually, the Ghost Clan who can pass through this passage will become stronger and stronger."
"Therefore, besides needing someone to go to the Underworld to close the passage there, we also need someone in this world to hold off the Ghost Clan ' attack until the passage is closed! Failure on either side will lead to dire consequences."
Qi Ling nodded and said, "In that case, I'll go to the Underworld to close the passage there. Xiao San, I'm leaving things here to you. With you leading everyone, we'll hold off the Ghost Clan's attack!"
"But, Big Brother..." Tang San wanted to say something, but Qi Ling stopped him and finally concluded, "Since this operation can only succeed and cannot fail, Xiao San, do you really think you have a better chance of success than I do?"
Tang San was ultimately speechless. Not only Tang San, but everyone here felt that only Qi Ling could complete this task.
"In that case, my little brother and I will go to the Underworld together," Bibi Dong said. "My abilities can complement my little brother's, increasing our chances of success."
Seeing that Qi Ling was about to refuse, Bibi Dong smiled and said, "Little brother, you can't refuse this! And if you're worried about my safety, you shouldn't refuse me at all."
"Don't forget, your life and mine are intertwined. If you're in danger, I won't survive either! So let me stay by your side so I can make sure I'm not in danger."
Seeing Bibi Dong's resolute attitude, Qi Ling had no choice but to agree to Bibi Dong request.
"Well, in that case, Master, you should go with Bibi Dong. The number of the international team shouldn't be too large, otherwise it will be inconvenient for them to move around, and even more inconvenient for them to leave that place," the Dragon Maiden said.
"Furthermore, none of you should think that your tasks will be any easier, because you will be facing a vicious and ruthless race. A single misstep could lead to the extermination of your entire race!"
At this moment, Dai Mubai also spoke up, "In that case, should we send Star Luo Empire to help? If it's a crisis for the entire Douluo Continent, we will definitely not stand idly by and do nothing."
"No, Mubai, it's a pity. Not only is there not enough time, but such an opponent is simply not something an ordinary army can handle," Qi Ling said at this moment.
"Ordinary people, or even low-level Soul Master, can only become unnecessary sacrifices. This battle is destined to be one in which only a few elites can participate."
The Dragon Maiden nodded and said, "That's right, just as Master said. Although this battle is destined to be extremely fierce, only those with sufficient strength can participate! If we make a preliminary estimate, I'm afraid those below the Soul Saint level are not qualified to participate in this battle."
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank. The Dragon Maiden's meaning was undoubtedly that even the weakest Ghost Clan from the Underworld required Soul Saint to deal with, which was enough to imagine just how powerful this race was.
"There's no time to lose. Now that we know how to deal with it, we can't delay any longer," Qi Ling said. "If we wait three days before we act, the passage will probably have widened considerably."
"In that case, let's all set off now and prepare for the battlefield! I will send someone to inform the Heaven Dou Empire, and I will also contact other capable individuals to participate in this battle."
Bibi Dong then said, "Little brother, don't worry. I will mobilize all the power of the Spirit Hall and gather everyone who can come. Since this war is one that the other side intends to wage against the entire Douluo Continent, it probably won't end easily. We should be fully prepared."
Qi Ling nodded in agreement with Bibi Dong's statement. After the initial integration of forces, Qi Ling and the others set off again for that place.
"As for Xue Qinghe, Master, I can temporarily control him and prevent his power from being used again to widen the passage," the Dragon Maiden said at this moment. "As long as you close the passage over there, Master, Xue Qinghe will be no threat."
"However, that would mean I wouldn't be able to participate in the later battles, nor would I be able to offer you any advice. The battles to come will have to rely on you, my masters."
Within the kingdom, everyone had been evacuated, and preparations were made to turn this place into a battlefield. Later, Qi Ling and the others returned to the underground palace. After making preparations, Qi Ling once again broke the seal.
The moment the seal was broken, the gates of the underground palace were also flung open, and all sorts of eerie wails echoed out. Moreover, a powerful force instantly overturned the entire palace, turning the surrounding area of ten miles into a hellish inferno.
Although the Dragon Maiden had previously explained how brutal the war would be, seeing this scene still made everyone's hearts sink.
