Chapter 520: The Ancestor's Legacy
Li Qian was perplexed, wondering what exactly Zhao Zihuan and the others were up to.
But after receiving a prompt, he played along, watching their performance unfold.
The wait wasn't long before Zhao Zihuan's gaze suddenly became resolute upon hearing Li Qian's words.
He scanned the entire hall, filled with people, and said, "Look, even a brave warrior like Li Qian has traveled far to come to the aid of his hometown. We haven't reached a dead end yet."
"There's no need to consider relocating the entire Cloudwave City!"
Li Qian's heart, which had calmed down, was stirred into a tempest by Zhao Zihuan's righteous words.
What?
Had the situation in Cloudwave City escalated to this extent?
They were even considering relocating the entire city?
He tried to calm his turbulent emotions, suppressing his curiosity, and didn't immediately ask questions.
He observed the reactions of the crowd, wanting to see if Zhao Zihuan's bold words had any effect.
After a moment of staring, Li Qian noticed that it did. Many in the hall had determined expressions in their eyes.
Just then, a capable-looking woman in her forties spoke up, voicing her concerns, "To be honest, Chancellor Zhao, most of us here are natives of Cloudwave City. We can't just abandon our hometown so easily."
"But what about the legendary-level beast discovered within the dimensional rift by the elite squad? How do we deal with that?"
The middle-aged woman spoke with a hint of dejection "If we can't deploy a legendary-level combatant to suppress it, no matter how we resist, it'll be futile."
Li Qian understood the middle-aged woman's words. Now he grasped why they were considering relocating the entire city.
Indeed, facing a legendary-level beast without a companion beast of equal rank for suppression was, as she said, a futile effort.
Could the Federation spare a legendary-level beastmaster or a legendary-level companion beast to suppress this dimensional rift?
Clearly, they couldn't, or they wouldn't be discussing the city's relocation.
It was an unsolvable problem.
But if that was the case, why had Zhao Zihuan, the old man, signaled him earlier?
At this thought, Li Qian remained silent, patiently listening.
Sure enough, Zhao Zihuan soon provided his reasoning.
"The elite squad did infiltrate the dimensional rift, but the existence of a legendary-level beast is just their speculation. They didn't get close, so perhaps that mountain-like beast isn't legendary-level after all."
Zhao Zihuan paused, then continued, "Moreover, even if it is a legendary-level beast, we're not without options."
"We can deploy the Nine Dragon Grand Array, harnessing the power of the array to suppress the opponent's strength to below the Holy Spirit rank."
Zhao Zihuan confidently laid out his plan, "Then, we'll concentrate our forces and purge the extraordinary beings within the array."
"Finally, we'll seal the dimensional rift, resolving the current crisis."
Zhao Zihuan's words were compelling, and Li Qian couldn't help but nod slightly as he listened.
At least on the surface, it didn't seem like an unsolvable situation.
"Alas!"
A middle-aged man with a receding hairline, standing not far from the middle-aged woman, sighed, "I'm the Chief Executive of Cloudwave City, and if possible, I'd be the last person to want to abandon this place."
"But according to our analysis, without the suppression of a Legendary Tier combatant, no solution can permanently resolve the issue here."
"Just as Chancellor Zhao said, temporarily sealing that dimensional rift, but what's the point in that?"
"Can you guarantee that the seal won't be broken?" Seeing Zhao Zihuan fall silent, the man with the receding hairline continued, "No, you can't guarantee it. Moreover, this seal can only last for about three years at most. What then?"
"And setting up this array requires nine Holy Spirit Rank dragon-type extraordinary resources. The cost is terrifying."
"Even if we join forces and barely manage to afford it, it will still leave us weakened."
Beside the Chief Executive, the City Security Bureau Chief, a round-faced man, also shook his head, "Also, what about the energy congestion issue of the Nine-Nine Yuan Dragon Array? If it's not handled, it might become a poisoned chalice, and we'll ultimately suffer the consequences."
The group's advice gave Li Qian a general understanding of the situation.
Li Qian couldn't help but think to himself: If it's really the situation the higher-ups are describing, it's indeed unnecessary to hold on.
Thinking of this, his expression turned grim.
If Cloudwave City has to relocate, what about Lingshui City? Being so close, it's obvious it will be affected.
In this case, Li Qian had a plan in mind; he must leave the city with his parents.
Ideally, they should directly settle in Sandy Beach City with him.
Thus, the group argued without reaching a consensus.
People are reluctant to leave their hometown, not just on Earth in the previous life but also on this world's ancestral planet.
Especially the Dongxia people.
So, unless absolutely necessary, no one wants to leave their hometown.
Therefore, there were also many who supported Zhao Zihuan, and seeing that they wouldn't reach a conclusion in a short time, Li Qian prepared to leave first.
At that moment, he saw Mu Qianqian, who had been standing behind Mu Tianhua, suddenly point at the rooftop.
Li Qian understood her meaning and quietly exited the hall.
Moments later, on the rooftop, Li Qian, Irina, and Mu Qianqian met.
Li Qian gazed into the distance, looking at the massive array light curtain shrouded in dark gray, and couldn't help but ask, "How long can this Confinement Array last?"
Mu Qianqian also looked towards the north of the city. She helplessly replied, "According to my grandfather, at most a week."
As she spoke, she suddenly stretched out her hand.
Unbeknownst to when, a seed, somewhat similar in shape to a peach pit, appeared.
Li Qian looked at the seed, similar in shape to a peach pit, and asked, "This is the seed left by Ancestor Cypress?"
"Yes."
Mu Qianqian nodded, "This seed is of great significance to the Mu Clan. I don't trust others with it, so I can only entrust it to you."
Hearing this, Li Qian rubbed his forehead with a bitter smile, "Don't say that, I'm under so much pressure!"
