Sui Xiaohang asked, but he knew the chances were slim. The Heavenly Dao Myriad Life Pill was said to be able to save anyone as long as they had a trace of life, but if a person was dead and all their bodily functions had ceased, even the Heavenly Dao Myriad Life Pill could not revive them.
As expected, Wan Lei shook his head.
The crowd was somewhat surprised that Sui Xiaohang could actually refine such a legendary pill, but none of them asked. It was not the time to interrupt.
"Alas, if I hadn't been exhausted and fainted back then, I would never have let her deliver the pill, and she wouldn't have died.
If you had given me the nanmu back then, perhaps I would have already refined the Heavenly Dao Myriad Life Pill, and you could have delivered it yourself, without her having to go."
Sui Xiaohang lowered his head, clasping his hands under his forehead, consumed by grief.
Wan Lei recounted in detail how Qi Manyao had saved him, and also mentioned how he had subsequently saved Fang Xiaoyu, and how they had completed the mission together to obtain the ultimate divine artifact.
The fact that he possessed a divine artifact had been revealed by Qiong Ku, and the others had also heard it and seen the Creation God Disk. There was no need to conceal it, especially since those present did not even understand the significance of a divine artifact.
After listening, Chen Manlian sighed,
"Truly a remarkable woman. For the Alliance Leader to be able to survive this time, and for us to achieve victory from defeat, it is all thanks to her selfless sacrifice and willingness to give up her life. We, the Thunder Emperor Alliance, should remember her kindness forever."
This was also why Wan Lei had told them about it. Qi Manyao's contributions could not be erased. The entire Thunder Emperor Alliance should know who had saved their Alliance Leader, and indirectly, saved them all, and the entire world.
Chen Xinglian also sighed,
"Alas, for the Thunder Emperor Palace to have such a person, and for Alliance Leader Wan to have such a confidante, is truly a great fortune. If my Kui Lian Sect had such a disciple, how wonderful that would be."
"She is from the Kui Lian Sect,"
Fang Xiaoyu glanced at Chen Manlian of the Kui Lian Sect, then looked at the helmsman of the Condemned Ones,
"Before, she was also a Condemned One."
The helmsman of the Condemned Ones was startled, then overjoyed.
Damn, the Alliance Leader's beloved confidante and savior was one of my Condemned Ones? How come I didn't know about such a big matter? If I had known earlier, I would have tried to build a relationship.
In truth, he couldn't be entirely blamed. After all, Wan Lei was merely a Nascent Soul cultivator at the time, and Qi Manyao was just a low-level spy. How could she have caught his attention?
The leader of the branch of the Condemned Ones in the regions surrounding the Kui Lian Sect was merely at the Soul Transformation stage. The helmsman probably didn't even know his name, let alone a mere spy under him.
Later, when that leader captured Qi Manyao to threaten Wan Lei, Wan Lei wiped them all out. Wan Lei had eliminated many branches of the Condemned Ones, which finally drew the helmsman's attention, but he didn't know it was Wan Lei who did it, and Wan Liuchuan hadn't reported it.
By the time the helmsman saw Wan Lei, it was already time for Wan Lei to make him kneel.
Just as the helmsman was about to make a grand speech about carving Qi Manyao's achievements onto a stone tablet and placing it in the headquarters of the Condemned Ones for eternal commemoration, in order to curry favor, Fang Xiaoyu spoke again.
"It's just that the people in the Condemned Ones are too vile. They actually kidnapped Qi Manyao to threaten Wan Lei. Those people were all killed by Wan Lei, and Qi Manyao was poisoned and almost died. It was Sui Xiaohang who refined a pill to save her then."
In one sentence, she completely choked off all the helmsman's words.
"Later, in our anger, Wan Lei and I destroyed all the major strongholds of the Condemned Ones within the Kui Lian Sect's territory. Qi Manyao also withdrew from the Condemned Ones organization because of this."
"...Well done."
The helmsman finally managed to say this after a long pause.
No wonder the Alliance Leader was so angry when he went to the headquarters of the Condemned Ones that time. It turned out his beloved confidante was almost killed by the Condemned Ones.
It's a good thing those people died early, otherwise I would have personally taken action to destroy them.
"Alright, let's put this matter to rest. After the war, merits will be rewarded accordingly. Everyone needs to remember her achievements.
Let's discuss the next strategy."
Wan Lei waved his hand. He really didn't want to dwell on this painful matter any longer.
The crowd exchanged glances. The next strategy? Of course, it was a counter-offensive. Did that even need discussion?
However, since Wan Lei had asked, they assumed the Alliance Leader likely had a plan in mind.
"What are the Alliance Leader's plans? We would like to hear your opinion first."
Said Fang Hui.
After the great battle at Yin Yang Sect, Wan Lei had turned the tide and defeated the enemy. Now, even the proud and self-important Fang Hui, who always acted as if he knew better, was convinced by Wan Lei.
Everyone believed that he was their savior.
"My plan is this: first, we will clip the wings of the Demon Race and the Liu family, and destroy the Kai Tian Sword Sect and the Huo family first, then attack the Liu family.
These two families are the wings of the Demon Race. I fear that if we destroy the Liu family first, these two families will surrender at the first sign of trouble, making it difficult for us to act.
Currently, the enemy no longer has any Tribulation Transcenders. Oh, and there's Liu Naiweng, plus eight Demon Marshals. To be precise, seven of them. Their strength is weaker than ours.
These Demon Marshals will not be sent to support those two families.
If they send too few people, we will defeat them one by one. If they send too many, the Liu family will be left vulnerable. In that case, they will simply not send anyone to support them and will hold the Liu family steadfastly. If I were Qiong Ku, I would do just that.
We will first eliminate those two families, then concentrate our forces to destroy the Liu family and the Demon Race. Those two families should be easy to eliminate."
Upon hearing about the extermination of clans, no one felt any discomfort. To reach their current positions, those present were not soft-hearted individuals. They could not afford to be merciful to their enemies.
Since the Demon Race dared to exterminate the three families of Wu Zhou and Dun, what was wrong with them exterminating these accomplices of the Demon Race? From the moment the war began, these families were destined to become history.
"The Alliance Leader speaks wisely. We can do as you say, however, in terms of speed, I fear we may not have enough time.
If the army is divided into two routes to reach the two families, and after destroying them, we then go to the Liu family, crossing more than half the Central Domain will likely take about a month. If the time is too long, I fear unforeseen changes may occur."
"There is no need to worry about that. After each family has rested, they will be directly transported to the Thunder Emperor Palace using large teleportation arrays. I can use the divine artifact to collect all the war chariots and the army. Then, after I fly to the two families, I can release everyone.
You are aware of my speed. It only takes a few minutes from the Thunder Emperor Palace to those two families. There is no need to fear delaying the battle."
Everyone nodded upon hearing this. Fang Hui was more interested in Wan Lei's divine artifact.
"Alliance Leader, the divine artifact you mentioned, is it that large round disk? It looks very powerful."
"No, the Creation God Disk does not have the function of storing things. I am talking about the Fate Controlling Diagram. The Fate Controlling Diagram contains a world within itself, and it is more than enough to accommodate the army."
