Chapter 1595 - 290: 4

After a pause, the True Monarch spoke again: "But there are many of them, and few of us, and from previous communications, we know that the returning group... is not in a state to fight."

Li Zhiyuan: "So, your suggestion is?"

True Monarch: "I request that you set up the Array quickly."

In past confrontations, the Array set up by the young man had brought great advantages to our side, especially in situations where the enemy was strong and we were weak, and the enemy was numerous and we were few.

The True Monarch originally thought that the young man was already setting up the Array, but in fact, the young man did not make any move.

Li Zhiyuan raised his head, looking at the True Monarch with clear lines on his handsome face, and asked back: "Where is this place?"

True Monarch: "Fengdu, Ghost City, Ghost Street."

Li Zhiyuan: "Well then, do I need to specially set up an Array in advance here?"

The True Monarch's shuping eyes flickered with realization.

Soon, the shuping eyes were restrained, and Lin Shuyou's consciousness returned.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, is Yin Meng's grandfather still here now?"

"No."

"Then where has he gone now? Uh, I mean, Yin Meng is back now, do we need to tell her about this?"

"No need to hide it."

Stepping out of the clothing store and back onto the street surface, looking down again, in the Walking Yin perspective, the waters at the dock area were darker than before.

Lin Shuyou found a wooden umbrella, opened it, and using the rotational momentum, flung away the hail that fell until it subsided before putting the umbrella away.

But while the hail stopped, it began to rain instead.

Indeed, it's truly fitting ghost weather for Ghost City.

Returning to the inn, the first people Li Zhiyuan saw were the Liang Sisters.

The sisters no longer held the pure and beautiful facade they had when first seen. Now, they looked like old patchwork rag dolls, full of stitches.

Next, Li Zhiyuan saw Yin Meng and Run Sheng.

Tan Wenbin asked: "Brother Xiao Yuan, can this stick be taken off?"

Li Zhiyuan: "No, Brother Runsheng is using it to suppress Yin Meng."

Tan Wenbin: "Run Sheng really knows a lot."

Li Zhiyuan: "After this wave ends, Brother Binbin, you should have a good chat with Brother Runsheng."

Tan Wenbin: "What specifically should we discuss?"

Li Zhiyuan: "I suspect some special changes have occurred in Brother Runsheng that even he himself isn't aware of."

Run Sheng, who had originally closed his eyes, briefly trembled his hands, his eyelids constantly shaking, showing signs of waking up.

Li Zhiyuan stepped forward, grabbed Run Sheng's hand, and said: "No need to rush. Just focus on helping Meng Meng here. You don't need to help me fight this time. I have many people."

Receiving reassurance, Run Sheng's trembling ceased.

Tan Wenbin rubbed his eye corners, having just seen clearly that Run Sheng's consciousness hadn't fully awakened. But upon sensing Xiao Yuan needed people for battle, he was able to instinctively start self-communication.

Li Zhiyuan checked Yin Meng's state, first lifting her eyelids. Her eyes first showed a haze, then were impacted by Evil Qi.

A Gu Worm cautiously crawled out from Yin Meng's clothes, its two antennae constantly weaving as if pleading for help to the young man on Yin Meng's behalf.

Seeing the young man ignore it, the worm simply flew up, trying to "present before the saint" at close range.

Li Zhiyuan glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and the Gu Worm, just taking off, spun a circle in mid-air before reluctantly flying back.

Tan Wenbin voiced his confusion: "Brother Xiao Yuan, why did Yin Meng suddenly become like this? I suspect it was done by a Bodhisattva, but when did the Bodhisattva act?"

Li Zhiyuan: "If you don't know when the Bodhisattva acted, you can try pushing the time as far back as possible."

Tan Wenbin: "Before we met Yin Meng?"

Li Zhiyuan: "Not bold enough."

Tan Wenbin: "Could it be..."

Li Zhiyuan: "The Bodhisattva placed a curse on the Yin family bloodline a long time ago."

Leaving the room, just reaching the hallway outside the door, they saw Zhao Yi leaning against the wall by the door, playing with two large walnuts in his hand.

The speed with which the walnuts were being rubbed was fast enough to create afterimages.

Li Zhiyuan: "A new hobby?"

Zhao Yi: "I just want to polish them quickly."

Li Zhiyuan: "Keep it up."

Zhao Yi: "Li, given the current situation, what do you think?"

Li Zhiyuan: "Do you have any opinions?"

Zhao Yi: "We've helped enough."

Li Zhiyuan: "We can stop now."

Zhao Yi: "I mean, if you want to block Them from entering the Ghost Gate, you can. Don't think I'm in poor condition now; it's just the aftereffects of your secret technique. Actually, my real state is still good, and I can help you block at midnight tonight.

But just making enough effort is sufficient, if we really can't block them, we should still open the Ghost Gate.

You have a way to open the Ghost Gate, right? For you, it must not be a difficult task.

Moreover, if we don't open the Ghost Gate, we can't complete this wave."

Li Zhiyuan: "Another discussion before resolution?"

Zhao Yi: "Yes."

Li Zhiyuan: "Tonight, everyone, including Yin Meng and Run Sheng, needs to go to Ghost Street, even if it means being human sandbags, they have to stand on the street and block those things from coming ashore.

Of course, you and your people can choose not to go."

Zhao Yi's eyes fixed, the Life and Death Door on his chest spun rapidly.

After a while, he spoke:

"Li, are you certain you have..."

Li Zhiyuan: "I just feel that just making enough effort, in the end, will be very pointless."

In the corridor ahead, Zheng Hua and others surrounded Mr. Zhai as they came downstairs, and Zheng Hua waved to this side, saying:

"Xiao Yuan, are you going down to lunch together, or waiting for your teacher?"

Zhao Yi: "Of course, let's go together!"

Li Zhiyuan pushed Zhao Yi forward slightly and said: "My brother will go, I'll wait for my teacher and them."
