Chapter 178 Breaking Defense
After the two had fully recovered, Gilgamesh looked at the monkey with a blank expression.
"You said my kingdom is gone forever, so you'll take me to Heaven for a drink. You'd better keep your word."
"Of course, I, Old Sun, will always keep my word. However, you must first come with me to Flower Fruit Mountain, then to the Heavenly Palace, and then I will bring two fellows to accompany you to the Kingdom."
The monkey's eyes flickered, clearly indicating he had lost patience to stay put. The reason he recovered so quickly was because he had heard that Ling Yunxiao had rescued everyone from the Heavenly Court who had been killed in battle, including that fool.
After quickly drawing the prize, Lin Qiye waved goodbye to the two of them.
Then, he smiled slightly at Ling Yunxiao.
"The barrier here was calculated by the Monk of Destiny and the Great Celestial Venerable as the key to the final battle. Its purpose is not to trap anyone here, but simply to keep you here."
Lin Qiye's gaze was fixed on Ling Yunxiao's face; these words were naturally not meant for anyone else present.
"So, what's the reason? Don't give me any excuses like 'it's inconvenient to say,' otherwise, you know I don't actually have a very good temper."
Ling Yunxiao frowned. If Gilgamesh and Monkey King weren't there, he would have had a hard time not doubting whether the Lin Qiye in front of him was the real person.
"I actually just traveled through time, returning here from hundreds of years ago. I know many things, including something that shouldn't be known to anyone else here."
"There's no one else here. Wang Mian and An Qingyu are not outsiders. Please feel free to speak."
"Brother Ling, you're not a local, are you? Your presence will affect the outcome of the final battle, so please stay here and don't leave until a year later."
Ling Yunxiao was utterly bewildered, unable to understand why he was being imprisoned. Could his transmigration really affect the ending?
"what are you saying?"
Wang Mian couldn't understand, but his gaze toward Lin Qiye had become serious. Regarding Ling Yunxiao, apart from what he had seen with his own eyes, he didn't believe any explanation or reason.
"Captain, I will explain this to you later."
"However, Fish, you're smarter than me. Do you think it's more likely that something is influencing their decisions through mental power, or that the Great Celestial Venerable and Ye Fan have gone mad, willing to risk the lives of most of the gods and humans to ensure I appear at the end, guaranteeing a decisive victory?"
Lin Qiye didn't say anything more, but turned his head and looked at An Qingyu with the same expectant expression as Ling Yunxiao.
An Qingyu shrugged casually and looked up at the void above.
"If our Great Celestial Venerable and Ye Fan, along with that so-called Destiny Monk, were to accurately calculate how long you should be imprisoned without Captain Wang's help, they would be willing to sacrifice most of the gods and humans to face the final battle."
Back then, when faced with the mist, did they really dedicate themselves entirely to the cycle of reincarnation? Or did they truly not care about battle losses? If they really didn't care at all, the task of eliminating the Outer Gods wouldn't have been something you volunteered for, nor would it have been solely your [Uncharted] squad that was going all out to hunt them down.
Captain, it seems you've been tricked!
An Qingyu turned around and smiled faintly, and unexpectedly, Lin Qiye also smiled.
"Hahaha... I'm just a messenger. Those words were what I promised Monk Destiny I would say. As for whether you, Brother Ling, are willing or not, that's none of my business. Uh... when Great Sage and Hero King left just now, they must have accidentally destroyed the barrier they had worked so hard to set up."
"Well...you all saw it, I've said everything I needed to say, and they're the ones who sent me. I didn't do it on purpose!"
Lin Qiye shrugged, indicating that he was innocent.
Ling Yunxiao and An Qingyu were both smiling. When Monkey King left earlier, they had already guessed Lin Qiye's stance.
Wang Mian shook his head helplessly, unable to understand why they would send Lin Qiye to persuade them. Didn't they consider whether it was safe to leave the key next to the lock?
"So, the headquarters and the Grand Celestial Venerable were really affected?"
"It's also possible that Ke Xi subconsciously influenced a very eloquent person who painted a very rosy picture and convinced the people outside. Then, a barrier appeared outside. However, since they sent me in to persuade you, they were probably prepared to turn the tables on me."
After all, by now, I'd probably be trapped here too, unable to get out!
Lin Qiye looked up at the sky. When the Great Sage left, he held Gilgamesh tightly. Presumably, with the Monkey King's intelligence, he wouldn't rashly go out. And if the Monkey King wanted to hide, it was hard to say whether the people observing outside could find out.
"When are we leaving?"
Ling Yunxiao smiled slightly. If this was a clever scheme, then it was very much in line with the character of the Great Celestial Venerable and the others.
"That depends on Jiang Er."
As Lin Qiye spoke, he pointed to the car he had driven over.
"Jiang Er, this car was specially found for me by Zuo Qing. Before he gave me the car keys, he specifically told me that there is a radio in the car. Although there is no signal, I can still listen to music."
Jiang Er smiled upon hearing this. His abilities were becoming less and less useful on the front lines. However, they could still be quite useful in certain situations.
"I will connect to all the border's radio and communication systems, and we'll go out as soon as there's any sign of trouble."
After nodding, the group sat down in the clinic's courtyard. Luanping's wife saw the car in front of the clinic from afar and thoughtfully brought over some food and drinks.
After the five of them sat down at the table, they chatted with light smiles about the interesting things that had happened between the two teams over the years, creating a particularly warm atmosphere.
As the moonlight descended and the group prepared to lie down, a figure emerged from the lake at an incredible speed, like a ghost.
“You lot, leave here immediately and head to the vicinity of the South China Sea of Great Xia. A large-scale, eerie event is about to occur there. I sense a deathly aura that is about to engulf Great Xia. Yunxiao, I know you can understand. That deathly aura is just like the ancient temple that Maitreya discovered back then.”
As Wang Ye spoke, he squinted slightly and looked beyond the blessed land, pointing in a certain direction.
At this moment, the group did not hesitate. An Qingyu grabbed Jiang Er with one hand and Ling Yunxiao's wrist with the other, and was the first to take off. After easily breaking through the barrier, Ling Yunxiao let out a whoosh into the void.
The next second, Garuda King's enormous figure appeared, and the group immediately jumped onto it.
"To the South China Sea! And quickly!"
Garuda King immediately spread his wings and soared out at the fastest speed he had ever traveled.
