Chapter 2196 - 2192: Heeding Lan Jing’s Command

The ground of the Pan Gu Secret Realm is still in continuous turmoil, even Xi He started to suspect that it might be related to internal unrest within the Pan Gu Secret Realm, and it very likely means the final collapse of the Pan Gu Secret Realm.

"What should we do? Now that Ye Alliance Hierarch is not here, we have to solve everything ourselves!" Hai Wuzi, at this moment, acted like a leader, taking on all responsibilities, "Now, people from the major sects should try to evacuate people from within the Pan Gu Secret Realm. This is the most responsible approach for both Ye Alliance Hierarch and all creatures in the Pan Gu Secret Realm."

Sang Yuan angrily said, "Who gave you such authority? Though the Young Master asked you to liaise with the Seven Great Sects, he didn’t say you could take charge of everything. You’d better not place yourself too high; you’re not qualified."

Hai Wuzi turned back to coldly size up Sang Yuan, seeming to consider Sang Yuan not worth mentioning.

The disdainful look made Sang Yuan even angrier. Sang Yuan looked at Xi He and said, "Is it not time to do something? These ordinary cultivators simply don’t respect ancient cultivators."

Xi He said, "Do you count as an ancient cultivator?"

With one sentence, Sang Yuan felt even more disfavored. She looked at Xi He for a long time, finally gritting her teeth, "After all, the Young Master told me to handle matters here. If you do not accept it, you may as well challenge my authority and see how the Young Master will deal with you!"

In her words, Sang Yuan didn’t even put Xi He in her eyes. After all, she had always considered herself the ruler of the Pan Gu Secret Realm until the ancient cultivators began waking one after another, accompanied by Ye Fan’s rise. Her ruling position then became unstable, and she no longer had the qualification to show off in front of others.

Now that Ye Fan was not here, she wanted to assert her authority once more. She knew Xi He likely wouldn’t kill her.

"What exactly do you want?" Hai Wuzi finally asked Sang Yuan.

"Now, the ground is unstable, and it is uncertain what is causing it. If the ground collapses, at least cultivators can fly into the air to save their lives. At that time, as many humans as possible should be protected!" Sang Yuan said.

Hai Wuzi said, "There is no need for you to explain these things. You also have a bunch of subordinates. Speak clearly with them, and we will focus on doing our own tasks well! Let’s go!"

After Hai Wuzi finished speaking, people from the Seven Great Sects wanted to leave the conference hall, which made Sang Yuan even more humiliated.

At this moment, Lan Jing, who had been silent, said, "Please wait, can you listen to me for a moment?"

"What more do you want to say?" Due to the severe ground shaking, the buildings of the conference hall were already somewhat unstable, even with the cultivators’ reinforcement. Without their protection, the entire Sky City might have become ruins by now. Hai Wuzi looked at Lan Jing and asked.

Lan Jing said, "Just because Ye Fan is not here doesn’t mean we cannot work together. It’s not about fighting individually."

Even though people at the scene did not take Lan Jing’s words seriously and thought them somewhat naïve, Lan Jing was, after all, someone Ye Fan trusted and nominally the chosen one. Everyone had to give some weight to Lan Jing’s words.

"Miss Lan Jing, we are not fighting individually right now. We are discussing how to coordinate our efforts into one. Don’t you think everything we do is for the Pan Gu Secret Realm?" Sang Yuan said.

"I don’t think you are doing that. Instead, I feel you are sulking and even ignoring what Ye Fan instructed!" Lan Jing said stubbornly.

As the ground shook, Hai Wuzi asked, "Miss Lan Jing, what is your idea? Please tell us directly. If it’s within our ability, we will certainly help you achieve it, but if it’s beyond our power, there’s nothing we can do!"

Lan Jing said, "I hope you can listen carefully to what Ye Fan said, which was to protect everyone in Sky City. Isn’t that what Ye Fan said before leaving?"

People at the scene couldn’t help but look at each other. They were all thinking about how to get people out of the Pan Gu Secret Realm or protect them in the sky. Now Lan Jing was asking to protect Sky City, which they found hard to comprehend and thought was too naïve.

"Miss Lan Jing, isn’t what you’re saying putting us in difficulty?" Sang Yuan frowned and said, "You also know the current situation; the ground is starting to crack. Luckily, the Sky City hasn’t had any issues yet, but once something happens, everyone might be swallowed in an instant."

Lan Jing stood firm and said stubbornly, "I don’t care what you think; I want to protect this place, which is something I can do. If you won’t help me, then please leave. I don’t need your pity and concern!"

"This..." People at the scene were in a difficult position because Lan Jing had posed a significant challenge to them.

Finally, Xi He stepped forward and said, "Since that’s been said, why not follow Miss Lan Jing’s instructions? Miss Lan Jing is the chosen one. Isn’t her judgment of the situation clearer than yours?"

Sang Yuan frowned and asked, "You’re not joking, right? Who will bear the responsibility if something happens while protecting the entire Sky City?"

"At least it won’t be you," Xi He said, "Before the master left, the person he trusted most didn’t seem to be you, but Miss Lan Jing. Do as Miss Lan Jing instructs!"

Sang Yuan couldn’t help but think that if she acted on her own accord and succeeded, she would be a hero and could take credit in front of Ye Fan. However, if something went wrong, she would have to bear the responsibility herself. Now with Lan Jing taking charge, it seemed like following orders from someone without initiative and ability, but if anything happened, at least Lan Jing and Xi He would take the responsibility.

"Fine, let’s go with that!" Sang Yuan eventually looked at Hai Wuzi and asked, "Sect Master Hai, what do you think?"

Hai Wuzi couldn’t help but sigh and said, "Now, all the exits of the Pan Gu Secret Realm have been sealed. It’s difficult even for us to get out, let alone send ordinary people out. Let’s follow Miss Lan Jing’s plan. All members of the sects, listen up, not just people from the Seven Great Sects but also those from even the small sects must obey orders... obey Miss Lan Jing’s orders. At least if we work together, we can minimize the crises posed by the celestial calamity. This is what we should be doing!"

"Alright, alright!" Many people present echoed, as they seemed to have seen the final hope of resolving the celestial calamity.

"Let’s move out!" With Hai Wuzi’s command, everyone from the major sects then left.
