Chapter 1131 Ji Yuan is declared dead

On board a blue profound ship that used to belong to Saintess Fang Zhenfei, Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue was leading the attack on the Evil Cultivation Palace.

Accompanying her on board of this profound ship was Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei, Fairy Ye Chengxi, Shangguan Yan and Sword Saintess Jian Yuluo.

As for Shui Qingqing, Zhao Songjin, Hua Wuwu, Hua Baiyue and Ling Tianshui, they were the commanders of the other profound ships in this attack.

Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue had actually wanted to attack the Evil Cultivation Palace immediately to help save as many of the returning golden celestials as possible.

For this, they had been conserving their supplies of spirit stones for some time as their profound ships and profound cannons all required a massive amount of spirit stones in order to operate.

Their profound ships also require a large amount of spirit stones to maintain its profound shield against the powerful profound cannons of the enemy's profound ships.

Shangguan Yan had said to Xue Qianxue and the other maidens, "It is wiser that we show up an hour or two later."

Xue Qianxue was shocked by this suggestion as did the other maidens, "And then Ji Yuan and the others may have perished by then."

Shangguan Yan answered quietly, "And then our profound ships will have to bear the blunt of the firepower of the profound ships of the Evil Cultivation Palace. As you know, they have the numerical numbers as well as some of the biggest profound ships around. Our profound ships won't be able to endure their firepower for too long before facing complete annihilation and countless number of cultivators on board the profound ship would then die. This isn't what Ji Yuan wants to see, am I right?"

Fairy Ye Chengxi nodded, "Instead of rescuing the returning golden celestials, we may end up with of no help at all."

Sword Saintess Yuluo said quietly, "That's right. Ji Yuan and the others are all seventh realm cultivators. Their divine sense should warn them of the impeding dangers from the profound cannons of the profound ships. This is a risk that we have to take if we want to save as many of the returning celestials as possible..."

Then she sighed heavily, "Even if we can't save Ji Yuan or the other maidens."

Shui Qingqing had said with a woeful voice, "I don't want to sacrifice Ji Yuan but it seems like we may have to in order to save as many of the returning golden celestials as possible to continue the battle against the Evil Cultivation Palace."

Ling Tianshui had said, "I want to rescue Ji Yuan and my niece Ling Feiyue for than anything. Isn't this the reason why we are attacking in the first place even though we may be walking into an ambush? We are merely here to distract the Evil Cultivation Palace so that as many of the returning golden celestials can escape through to the desolate mists below. In the first place, we are actually powerless to do anything."

Xue Qianxue nodded slowly, "That's right. We are all like the death squad in this attack. In the first place we can only muster around 50 profound ships from all the resistance groups. It is a hit and run thing for us. We can't even land our profound ships on the battle field as the Evil Cultivation Palace and her allies greatly outnumber us."

Hua Wuwu said coldly, "How irony that we can't even move our cultivators to make a fight against the Evil Cultivation Palace."

When she had said that, many of the maidens were sighing heavily.

Even though the total number of cultivators that are willing to fight surpassed that of the Evil Cultivation Palace but the Celestial Realm is a mountainous region and the resistance groups lack the means to transport them across the vast regions of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity.

By doing so openly, they would soon be noticed by the Evil Cultivation Palace.

Xue Qianxue asked Shangguan Yan, "I'm sorry for interrupting your suggestion. I guess that the rest of the maidens also agree with you."

Shangguan Yan sighed softly, "We don't have much spirit stones in reserve to power our profound ships but the Evil Cultivation Palace is also facing a massive drain too. In this forthcoming battle, they will be burning up plenty of their spirit stones. I don't believe that their profound ships will be able to deploy in large numbers anytime soon after this battle. So it is crucial that we preserve as many profound ships as possible. We have to remember that the Evil Cultivation Palace has access to the mines and the ability to construct new profound ships while we are unable to. In the longer run, we will surely lose. Therefore, we need to preserve as many of our profound ships as possible to ferry our cultivators to safety if we still want to fight against the Evil Cultivation Palace."

Xue Qianxue sighed softly, "How irony that now we are the ones that are hiding while the Evil Cultivation Palace is in the open and even have the support of so many cultivation sects. These traitors."

Back to the present.

Xue Qianxue and the others were startled by the black beam of light that erupted from the ground below as it flied up to strike the Evil Cultivation Palace.

Dozens of profound ships from the Evil Cultivation Palace were destroyed and it had even breeched the profound barrier of the Evil Cultivation Palace.

Xue Qianxue gasped with shock, "9th realm profound power! Is it the Death God Mingwang?"

Great Consort Xu Yifei was also startled.

Her spirit divine sense was sharper than anyone and she could pick up minute traces of Ji Yuan's profound signature.

She turned and gasped to the other maidens, "This profound attack is from Ji Yuan! I am sure of this. He is alive!"

Shangguan Yan, Fairy Ye Chengxi, Sword Saintess Yuluo and Xue Qianxue were all gasping with shock, "It is Ji Yuan? Really?"

Xue Qianxue gasped with another shock, "Don't tell me that Ji Yuan is so foolish as to consume some miraculous profound pills that he had obtained from the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth to increase his cultivation realm temporary just to use this profound attack? Then he will surely die after using such a powerful profound attack like this. Or even explode himself."

Shangguan Yan, Fairy Chengxi, Sword Saintess Yuluo and Xu Yifei were all gasping with great shock; there is a price for using such powerful profound art and the result is always a certain death.

Fairy Ye Chengxi was in tears, "Old Master... Ji Yuan... why is he so foolish? Just so that he can save us?"

Xue Qianxue slowly nodded and her eyes were also bleary, "He must have recognized this as his Jiajia's profound ship. Because Jiajia had died, he did not want to live anymore."

Xu Yifei opened her eyes and said, "The 9th realm disturbance is still active below. Although it is faint at this distance but I can't be wrong. So Ji Yuan is not dead yet."

Xue Qianxue said woefully, "It is just a matter of time before Ji Yuan will die anyway..."n-(o--V)-e/-l-)b((1((n

All the other maidens were nodding too; in their minds, they had already decided that Ji Yuan was going to die by exploding his cultivation core soon.

Xu Yifei said quietly, "I can use my transference circle to retrieve Ji Yuan's corpse..."

She was actually planning to use her transference circle to protect this profound ship when its profound shield fails.

By retrieving Ji Yuan's body, she would have exhausted herself and hence unable to protect the profound ship afterwards.

Xue Qianxue sighed woefully, "By the time you go down there, Ji Yuan would have exploded himself into an unrecognized mess of blood and flesh. There will be nothing for you to retrieve..."

Then she wept aloud as fell weakly to the ground, "I am waiting for Ji Yuan to return so as to have him to name our baby son. But I guess that it is no longer possible now. I just have to name our baby son as Junior Ji Yuan to remember him by. Even though Ji Yuan may die but his name will never die in our hearts."
