"Hasn't he come with you?"
Under the uncertainty, many warriors began to ask Elder Long.
"Ao Yuan is still undergoing his tribulation," Elder Long replied with a slight shake of his head.
"What!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.
The initial joy instantly faded.
Ao Yuan hadn't come.
This meant...
The crisis had not been resolved this time.
"Hey, hey, hey."
Seeing the shift in everyone's emotions, Bai Ling was displeased.
She stepped forward, hands on her hips, and snorted, "What do you mean by that?"
"Are you looking down on us just because the Dragon God isn't here?"
"Let me tell you."
"I!"
Bai Ling pointed at herself with her head held high, "Bai Ling!"
"I am the direct disciple of the Dragon God!"
"And he!" Bai Ling then pointed at Ao Guang beside her, "He is the first demon king to follow the Dragon God."
"With us here, even if the Dragon God doesn't come, we can easily deal with them."
The warriors exchanged glances, but there was no sign of the joy Bai Ling had anticipated.
"You..."
Bai Ling stomped her foot in anger, "What do you mean by this?"
As Bai Ling was seething with anger, the leader of the Northern Bear Nation, the Emperor, walked over from a distance. "Elder Long."
After greeting Elder Long, he nodded at Bai Ling and Ao Guang.
"Alright, Bai Ling, stop fooling around."
Just as Bai Ling was about to vent to the Emperor, Ao Guang stopped her.
"Time is of the essence. Why don't you tell us where you need to set up the shield first?"
Bai Ling pouted and said nothing, but she no longer interfered with the Emperor.
"You trust them, don't you?"
Before the Emperor could finish speaking, Elder Long smiled and said, "Her name is Bai Ling. You should have heard about the divine being who attacked the Demon Court before, but was blocked by a layer of golden light, right?"
"That layer of golden light was Bai Ling's masterpiece!"
"As long as she sets up the shield, we can also use the mushroom eggs with peace of mind."
"It will be no problem to hold out until Ao Yuan arrives."
Whoosh!
Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, the words caused a stir.
Everyone looked at Bai Ling with newfound admiration, their initial indifference replaced by surprise.
Feeling the gazes on her, Bai Ling snorted, her head held even higher.
The Emperor, after a moment of stunned silence, broke into a broad smile. He walked up to Bai Ling and began to explain, "The protected area we have currently designated is about ten kilometers."
"If we are to deploy mushroom eggs, we will need at least a fifty-mile radius."
"Miss Bai, would you be able..."
"Who do you think you're looking down on?"
Bai Ling's eyes widened. "Just tell me where you need it set up."
The Emperor looked at Elder Long and Bai Feng, and seeing no objections, he took a deep breath and directly stated, "Here... and also..."
He gave several locations before finally saying, "The area is roughly this large."
"Miss Bai, if you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Hmph!"
Bai Ling flicked her nose with her thumb and waved her hand, looking proud. "Just this much area?"
"I thought you needed something more significant. This is incredibly simple for me."
"Just watch!"
Saying that, Bai Ling leaped into the air and rapidly flew towards one of the locations the Emperor had indicated.
"This..." The Emperor watched Bai Ling, who had made no preparations, and felt a flicker of doubt.
"Don't worry," Elder Long smiled. "She won't disappoint you."
"That's right!" Ao Guang also tilted his head proudly. "Bai Ling, she is a genius of our Demon Court!"
"And now?" the Emperor asked hesitantly.
"Now, we just need to wait here patiently."
"Bai Ling will bring us good news later."
Hearing this, the Emperor nodded gently and stood quietly to the side, waiting.
"Bai Ling, you absolutely must not disappoint me!"
Seeing this, Ao Guang looked up at the sky, appearing completely calm.
However, in his heart, he was incessantly thinking, "I've placed the reputation of the Demon Court on your shoulders."
"You boasted so much before, don't falter at this crucial moment!"
...
While everyone was waiting with peace of mind, Bai Ling had already arrived at the location given by the Emperor.
Standing there, she could see the distant flying battlefield with a slight raise of her eyes.
Occasionally, she could see missiles falling from high above, hitting the ground and causing massive explosions.
"This looks... quite intense!" Bai Ling glanced for a few moments before turning her gaze away.
"If mushroom eggs were to fall, a fifty-kilometer radius..."
Bai Ling pondered for a moment and whispered, "I should expand the range a bit."
Then, her figure flashed, and she moved to another direction.
Afterward, she quickly channeled spiritual energy and struck the ground.
Following that, she moved rapidly to another area.
Bang bang bang!
Next.
Amidst the raging battlefield, Bai Ling's figure darted everywhere.
After repeatedly striking the ground with several blasts of spiritual energy, she then clapped her hands and stopped.
"Now... it's the final step, gathering the spiritual energy to form the protective array!"
She mumbled to herself, then suddenly let out a clear shout.
Boom!
The spiritual energy that had been dormant within her was instantly unleashed.
In an instant!
The spiritual energy emanating from her spread outwards, intertwining with the spiritual energy she had previously established around the surroundings.
Hum hum hum!
"What... what is happening!"
"My god, why has the sky turned golden!"
"This... this must be fake!"
"Spiritual energy, I feel the fluctuation of spiritual energy!"
"Oh my god, how can this be happening!"
...
The moment Bai Ling unleashed her spiritual energy, the numerous warriors within the territory and the leaders of various nations all noticed the anomaly in the sky.
At this moment, they were all stunned.
"Bai Ling is making her move!" Ao Guang, however, did not seem too surprised and spoke calmly with his head tilted up.
In truth, he was brimming with pride.
Although he knew the relationship between the Demon Court and humans was friendly, it still brought him immense satisfaction to see humans in awe.
"Bai Ling did this?"
"This... is Bai Ling that powerful?"
"This... this covers a radius of a hundred kilometers!"
"Besides the Dragon God, are there others in the Demon Court this powerful?"
Listening to Ao Guang's words, the warriors were plunged into an even deeper state of shock.
Buzz!
And at this very moment!
The connected golden light in the sky blazed.
The dazzling golden light forced everyone to squint their eyes.
Hum hum hum!
"Protective array, complete!"
In a secluded area that no one saw, Bai Ling performed several hand seals and then let out a soft shout.
...
