Atkin

Chapter 545 is everyone's hope

In the vast river of time and space, the whispers of the elves are hidden in every dimension.

Jingting and Quliu, like a pair of loving stars, travel hand in hand through the myriad phenomena of this spiritual world.

Yinting, with a light figure and gentle and graceful eyes, is like a flower quietly blooming in spring, and exudes a soft and charming breath in her every move. Her every frown and smile can make the air around her soft. Quliu, tall and straight, exudes calmness and sensitivity, just like the calm mountains, has an extraordinary perception of music, and can always hear their inner demands from the subtle fluctuations of the spirit body.

The couple immerses themselves in the work of tending souls every day.

Qu Liu's slender fingers gently stroked the instrument, and steady notes flowed out; Yin Ting, standing by, responded with his agile fingering, and together they weaved a requiem to soothe the spirit.

The years are peaceful and their days are plain yet full of warmth in this ethereal music.

On this day, the sunlight shone through the mist of the spirit world and fell on the place where they were caressing the spirits.

The two were immersed in the playing of the Requiem, and the harmonious notes were like a gurgling stream, nourishing the spirits around them.

Suddenly, a messenger spirit arrived with a rush of wind, bringing Xiang Zhu's imperial edict.

The movement of Yin Ting's hands suddenly froze, and a trace of panic flashed across her originally lively eyes. She bit her lower lip subconsciously, turned her head to look at Qu Liu, and her voice trembled slightly: "Qu Liu, Xiang Zhu summoned us at this time, I'm afraid something very difficult has happened in the spirit world."

Qu Liu's expression froze, and a trace of worry flashed across his deep eyes. He slowly put down the spiritual instrument in his hand, stretched out his broad palm, gently patted Yinting's shoulder, and comforted her: "Don't panic, Yinting, pack up, we will rush back to Qixia Mountain immediately."

On the way back, Yinting frowned slightly, her heart full of worries surging like the tide. She muttered softly: "I don't know what happened. It's so urgent. Could it be that the Greedy Clan is secretly planning some shocking conspiracy to plunge the spirit world into chaos?" Qu Liu gently held her hand, smiled helplessly, and said softly: "Don't scare yourself. When you meet Xiang Zhu, everything will be clear. Don't be afraid, I'm here."

As soon as they returned to Qixia Mountain, the two did not take a moment to rest and hurried to Xiang Zhu hand in hand.

Yin Ting panted slightly and spoke first, her voice clear but anxious: "Commander, during this inspection, we found that the behavior of the Greedy Clan is really outrageous! They sent a large number of people to deceive ordinary people in every corner, and countless innocent people were deceived by them and included in the Greedy Clan's camp. This is clearly an attempt to use the "human wave tactics" to dominate the spirit world and break this hard-won balance!"

Qu Liu nodded slightly, his expression solemn, and added: "That's right. During this inspection, we found that most of the people who swarmed out of Linxian Island were involved in the conspiracy of the Greedy Clan. This time, the purpose of their actions was very clear, and their organization was more rigorous. It was really difficult for us to deal with it, and we were unable to cope with it."

He paused for a moment, his tone filled with worry and helplessness, "The number of people harmed by the Greedy Clan has increased by more than ten times compared to before. The speed of growth is beyond imagination."

When Ah Jing heard this, she couldn't help but take a breath, her beautiful eyes widened, her face full of shock and disbelief, she subconsciously covered her mouth, unable to speak for a while. She could never have imagined that the evil deeds of the Greedy Clan had become so rampant.

Xiang Zhu frowned, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect them to spend so much money, it seems that the conspiracy behind it must be not small. This matter is far more difficult than we expected." Yin Ting frowned slightly, her eyes full of thought, and said: "Is it possible that they realized that their fate is coming to an end, so they are making a last-ditch struggle?"

Shousheng shook his head slightly, looking into the distance with a serious expression: "It's not necessarily a last-ditch struggle. As of now, the layout of the Greedy Clan in various time and space, and the offensive is fiercer than we imagined. We must not take it lightly. Every step they take seems to be carefully planned, and the plan behind this is probably unfathomable."

Xiang Zhu nodded slightly, his expression solemn and his eyes deep: "I am afraid this matter is far more complicated than we see. There must be a deeper conspiracy behind this large-scale action of Linxian Island. We must not take it lightly. If we are not careful, the spirit race may fall into an irretrievable situation."

With a look of concern on her face, Yin Ting approached Ajing inconspicuously, her voice as soft as the spring breeze, afraid of disturbing others: "Where is Ling Luanluan? She is now..."

Before he could finish his words, Ajing's expression tensed. He quickly raised his index finger, put it to his lips, made a "hush" gesture for silence, and glanced around vigilantly.

This subtle movement did not escape Shousheng's eyes. He smiled gently, and that smile dispelled the tense atmosphere like the warm sun: "It's okay, there's no need to be so cautious."

After the two of them relaxed a little, Shousheng's face straightened and his tone became solemn: "Ling Luanluan has returned to the Lan tribe. As for which side she will stand on in the end, it is hard to say now. What's more troublesome is that all the Lan tribe members who surrendered to our Ling tribe have encountered problems."

Hearing this, Yin Ting and Qu Liu froze instantly. They looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and worry, and they were speechless for a moment.

After a long while, Jing Ting finally came to his senses. He seemed to be cheering himself up, or comforting everyone: "We have to trust the commander, he will definitely find a way."

As she spoke, she turned her trusting gaze towards Xiang Zhu.

Xiang Zhu smiled bitterly and waved his hands, with his usual open-mindedness on his face: "Don't pin all your hopes on me. Everyone has their own will. Joining the Greedy Clan or the Spirit Clan is their own choice. The final direction still depends on everyone's heart."

After saying this, he raised his head slightly and sighed softly, as if he also felt helpless about this complicated situation.

Upon hearing this, A Jing couldn't help but take a step forward and said anxiously: "That's what I said, but what if some people are short-sighted and can't see through the situation and accidentally make the wrong choice?"

Just as Xiang Zhu was about to respond, A Jing continued, "As the commander, you must also bear some responsibility, right?"

Xiang Zhu smiled helplessly, waved his hand again, and said seriously: "I admit this. I will never evade the responsibility that I should bear."

However, Ajing didn't buy it. He shook his head gently, frowned slightly, and muttered softly: "Anyway, I think that sometimes you divide the responsibilities that you should bear among everyone, as if letting everyone face all the consequences themselves. Isn't this bullying?" The grievance and dissatisfaction were evident in his words.
