C4167 The Two Hearts of the Family
"I hope that everything will still be in time."
This huge crisis was not only directed at Chen Xiao, but also towards the Purple Cloud City.
Earlier, Qin Dao Yuan had already felt it, and now, he felt it even more clearly.
A secret undercurrent was slowly gathering, and soon, it would gather into a torrent, rolling over.
At that time, it would be a true test for them.
Right now, everything had just begun.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a red flame flashing by his peripheral vision, and it flew towards him.
Seeing the newcomer, Qin Dao Yuan's gloomy face revealed a rare brilliance.
The newcomer was Senior Sister Huo Yuan.
"You are here." Qin Dao Yuan took a few steps forward and said with a smile.
Senior Sister Huo Yuan stepped forward and said with concern, "Thank you for your hard work, Dao Yuan."
Qin Dao Yuan laughed and did not mind, pretending to be relaxed, and said, "This is nothing. I just have to watch here, and I can't help much. It's a pity that I don't know anything about formations. Otherwise, I could go and help."
"You, forget it. It's just a complete help, hehe." Huo Yuan said with a smile.
She did not have any confidence in Qin Dao Yuan's attainments in formations. If he did not help, it would be the best.
Everyone had their own specialties, so there was no need to cover everything.
Qin Daoyuan smiled. “That’s right. We won’t get involved.”
The two of them exchanged a few words. After they finished, the smile on Senior Sister Huo Yuan’s face disappeared, and she became serious.
She took out a map and handed it to Qin Daoyuan. “This is the progress of the southern part of the island. Take a look.”
Qin He was in charge of checking the progress of the array formations in the eastern part of the Heavenly Sea Island, while Senior Sister Huo Yuan was in charge of the southern part.
The eastern and southern areas were the main locations of the Dragon Palace’s attack, and they were also the focus of defense.
The array formations that had been destroyed by Old Chang earlier were located in the southern part, and they were personally managed by Senior Sister Huo Yuan.
Qin Daoyuan’s face darkened. He took it over and looked at it. After a moment, he raised his head. “The progress is so much worse. Why?”
Huo Yuan did not hesitate and said, “There are two reasons. One, there is a shortage of array formation masters. Two, there is a shortage of array formation materials.”
Qin Daoyuan pondered for a moment and said, “The shortage of array formation masters isn’t something we can do about for now. The Purple Cloud City has already sent over their manpower, and we’ve used almost all methods to recruit manpower. It won’t change in a short period of time.”
Qin Daoyuan was very clear about this problem.
Earlier, the mobilization order from the Purple Cloud City had already been issued.
Regardless of whether it was the ten great family clans in the city or the many rogue cultivators, all of them had been sent to the Endless Sea to assist in defense. There wasn’t much manpower left.
Hearing this, Huo Yuan thought for a moment and said, “Well, the Golden Island should be relatively easy. Can we allocate some manpower over there?”
Qin Daoyuan shook his head, not agreeing with this method.
“It’s not possible. The Golden Island is similarly important, so we can’t be careless. Especially the Ocean Palace, if there’s any movement, it would be very bad if they suddenly came, so we can’t act rashly.”
Qin Daoyuan replied calmly.
“If that’s the case, then we can only rely on this little bit of manpower to risk our lives,” Huo Yuan said in a low voice.
“Well, that’s the only way. The second reason, why is there a lack of formation materials? Didn’t I already give the order to ask all the ten great family clans to contribute their materials?”
Qin Daoyuan said coldly, his voice changing a little.
He had actually expected some problems, but he hadn’t expected that the problem would come so quickly and directly, without any disguise.
Huo Yuan was expressionless and nodded. He said, “Yes, but your words are obviously useless. Not everyone will listen to you, especially the great family clans. They think highly of themselves and think that they have done a lot of hard work. Heh.”
Hearing this, Qin Daoyuan was so angry that he laughed.
“There’s such a thing. Heh, I had expected it a long time ago, but I didn’t expect that they would still dare to have second thoughts at this critical moment. They are really courting death.”
He was really angry. He thought that the City Lord of the Redbud City had taken good care of the family, but he did not expect that at such a critical moment, the worst of it all would be these guys.
Qin Daoyuan felt like he was being treated unfairly, and he was burning with anger.
For example, he was passionately welcoming them, but they stabbed him in the back. It was very uncomfortable.
“Who are they?” Qin Daoyuan asked.
Huo Yuan was silent for a moment and said, “They are all here.”
Qin Daoyuan sneered. “It seems like these guys are really bold. At such a critical moment, they still dare to play tricks. They are really bold.”
“Calm down first. It’s useless to be angry. You know their nature.”
Senior Sister Huo Yuan said.
Qin Daoyuan looked unwilling. He said, “Yes, I know that these old guys are stupid. I just didn’t expect that they would still dare to play tricks at such a critical moment. Do they really think that they can stay out of the trouble if the Heavenly Sea Island is gone? The chaos will come, and no one will be able to live in peace in the Divine Realm.”
Huo Yuan did not know how to answer, so she changed the topic.
“What should we do now? The formation can’t stop for a moment, but we are running out of materials.”
Qin Daoyuan thought for a moment and said, “Huo Yuan, you go and talk to Gu Li and Elder Su about this. Take out all the materials we have. We can’t delay the repairs.”
"All of them?" Huo Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked with uncertainty.
One must know that to completely repair the formation on the Heavenly Sea Island, the required formation materials were an astronomical figure.
Even if they took out all the formation materials from the Qin Family, the Gu Family, and the Su Family, it would only be enough to fill up a portion of the gap.
In addition, this way, the Qin Family, the Gu Family and the Su Family would really have no more stock.
Qin Daoyuan nodded his head forcefully and confirmed, "Yes, all of them. We'll use them first. These idiots still have selfishness at this time. I'll remember this."
Huo Yuan looked deeply at Qin Daoyuan. She also knew that Qin Daoyuan would do this for Chen Xiao's sake.
If it was someone else, Qin Daoyuan would not have made such a decisive decision.
Only Chen Xiao was someone he had recognized, so he would be so generous.
Actually, speaking of which, the actions of these senior families were not wrong. It was also to leave a way out for themselves. If the Heavenly Sea Island really was gone, they would not have to suffer so much.
However, no one could bear the consequences. If the Heavenly Sea Island really disappeared, especially Chen Xiao.
On the contrary, to the senior families, even if the Heavenly Sea Island was gone, the losses would not be enough to empty their pockets.
If the Heavenly Sea Island was gone, there was still the Purple Cloud City. These senior families would still exist.
Heh, just a little bit of selfishness.
