Chapter 444 I Will Protect You

"Ah! There's a Nascent Soul stage human puppet in the rear, how are we supposed to deal with this!"

The soldiers cried out, their faces filled with terror, yet they did not retreat.

For they knew that if they retreated, the human puppets would leave the canyon forest and harm the innocent civilians, in which case even they would not have a chance to survive. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět

"Damn Lin Yuran and Ji Binyu, it was them who released the human puppets!"

Bai Niannian cursed in a low voice, her heart aching as she looked at the injured civilians, "They certainly escaped quickly."

Upon learning that the culprits were Ji Binyu and Lin Yuran, the ministers could no longer suppress their anger and began to curse them.

In their eyes, these two deserved death long ago, and now there was another crime to add to their list.

Feng Ninghe turned her gaze to the soldiers locked in combat.

Soldiers were dying, soldiers were wounded.

Facing the powerful human puppets, they knew they were no match, yet they still fought valiantly.

"A Xing, go and help."

Feng Ninghe spoke.

Feng Xing, who had been eager to join the fray, was already by her side.

Upon receiving the command, he quickly drew his long sword and charged towards the most powerful human puppets.

Bai Niannian's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. Gritting her teeth, she said without hesitation, "Master, I'm going too!"

She followed Feng Xing and charged into the dense mass of human puppets.

Their intervention only slightly eased the situation, saving a few more lives.

Feng Ninghe looked at the Imperial Advisor, "Disseminate the news of the human puppet invasion, gather the disciples of the great aristocratic families of Lin Country for assistance, seek help from other countries, and dispatch imperial physicians and gather doctors from the city to come as soon as possible."

The Imperial Advisor nodded, "I will do so immediately!"

Steward Li eagerly stepped forward, his eyes also showing a hint of urgency, "Empress, is there anything this subject can do to help?"

Steward Li had previously fallen victim to Ji Binyu's cruel hand, his soul completely drained.

Thanks to Feng Ninghe's intervention, he had managed to save his life.

Since then, Steward Li had been filled with admiration and gratitude towards Feng Ninghe.

Feng Ninghe then turned her gaze to him, "Set up temporary shelters here for the soldiers to rest and recuperate. Also, order people to prepare a large amount of food and medicinal herbs."

Upon receiving the command, Steward Li hurriedly agreed, "This subject will go at once!"

"Xiao Zhao."

Feng Ninghe looked at Xiao Zhao, "You are an ancient Qilin, your speed is far beyond that of ordinary people. I want you to go to the First Sect immediately and inform everyone here of the situation, so that Master can send people from the various sects of Jinling to assist.

If any sect is unwilling to cooperate, then our Lin Country will withdraw from the battle and only focus on the safety of Lin Country's citizens."

She also believed that in such a critical moment, no sect would shrink back.

Dealing with human puppets was urgent, and it was a time for the entire Xuanzhou Continent to unite.

Otherwise, if human puppets ran rampant, the Xuanzhou Continent would cease to exist!

Si Jianye cast a look of admiration at Feng Ninghe.

This woman remained calm in the face of crisis.

Even in such a dire situation, she could maintain her composure.

As expected of the woman he had chosen.

He turned his gaze to Ah Xi beside him, "Release the message, send people from the West Youzhou branch to help."

The soldiers present alone could not hold on for long.

It would be good to have more reinforcements arrive quickly.

Feng Linyuan stood beside Feng Ninghe, a hint of emotion on his handsome face, "Little sister has grown up, she has her own opinions, you are no longer the little girl who needed her brother's protection."

The Feng Ninghe before him handled matters with composure and dignity, befitting an Empress, worthy of the support of the people of Lin Country.

Feng Ninghe smiled and met Feng Linyuan's gaze, "Brother, although I don't need your protection, I still need your help. These soldiers are struggling too much against the human puppets, we need to find a way to help."

Feng Linyuan couldn't help but reach out and gently pat her shoulder, "Alright, I'll go and help too."

Feng Linyuan did not delay and quickly went to assist.

With his high cultivation, his assistance would allow them to kill more human puppets.

Feng Ninghe stood quietly in place, her gaze fixed on the hand that was constantly clawing at the black hole.

She could even imagine the scene of tens of thousands of human puppets packed together inside the black hole.

"We need to find a way to repair the barrier."

At this moment, a deep male voice slowly descended.

Si Jianye's face, partially hidden in the darkness, had chiseled features, and his slightly cold eyes shot out a chilling light, "At this rate, it won't be long before the number of human puppets exceeds that of your soldiers."

Feng Ninghe sent a wisp of her spiritual power to scan the barrier.

The barrier had cracked in many places.

She also felt the human puppets within the black hole at this moment.

There were countless human puppets inside...

At this moment, Feng Ninghe's scalp tingled. She raised her palm and sent a powerful surge of spiritual energy towards the barrier.

Her spiritual energy could only mend a few cracks in the barrier, it was insufficient to repair the black hole.

"I know how to stop the human puppets from coming to Lin Country through the black hole."

Feng Ninghe's eyes narrowed slightly, and a ball of phoenix fire appeared in her palm.

Phoenix fire could burn all things in the world, it was the purest Yang fire.

Roar!

A phantom blood phoenix shot out from her forehead and lunged towards the black hole.

The blood phoenix opened its mouth and roared at the black hole, spewing out phoenix fire.

Clang clang!

A loud noise erupted from within the black hole, along with shouts. The green giant hand that had been clawing at the black hole abruptly withdrew its hand.

Under the attack of the phoenix fire, no more human puppets fell from the black hole.

"Feng Ninghe!"

Si Jianye grabbed her hand, his handsome face showing a hint of displeasure, "The blood phoenix burns your heart's fire, how much phoenix essence do you have left to burn?"

This was merely a temporary measure, not a long-term solution.

Feng Ninghe bit her lip, her clear female voice slowly falling, "I can't worry about too much. I'll help as much as I can, and if it's not enough, we'll figure something else out."

"Look quickly! The human puppets have stopped falling!"

"Only the Empress possesses the phoenix bones, this is the blood phoenix condensed from the Empress's heart's blood!"

"The Empress is also helping us! We cannot disappoint the Empress! Charge!"

The soldiers seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, their spirits instantly soaring and their morale boosted.

Su Hongxiu's face lost its usual smile, and his expression became solemn, "Lin Yuran and Feng Linyuan are truly vicious. If they couldn't get the throne, they would destroy everything! They are even willing to sacrifice everyone's lives! I'm going to help too."

With that, Su Hongxiu leaped forward and quickly entered the crowd.

He was the sect leader, with high cultivation.

In just a moment, he had several human puppet heads in his hands.

Blood and the stench of human puppets mingled tightly, filling the air.

Feng Ninghe sat down cross-legged, a condensed phoenix bone in her palm.

By fusing with the phoenix bone, her cultivation would advance, and the blood phoenix could last longer.

Sensing her intention, Si Jianye lowered his gaze and quietly watched her, his clear male voice slowly falling, "You can refine it with peace of mind, I will protect you."

The strong and powerful male voice was reassuring.

It was as if as long as Si Jianye was there, she didn't need to worry too much.
