Chapter 2609 Everything, just to resolve the crisis!
"Where's the time?"
Upon hearing Miao Yi's words, Ling Tian frowned slightly, lowered his head, and spoke softly.
Miao Yi sighed and shook his head, saying, "I can't know the exact time for now. I only know that this is bound to happen, so Mr. Ling, your visit to Central City this time might be... not very timely."
Upon hearing this, Ling Tian looked up at Miao Yi, a smile appearing on his face: "No, I actually think this time is just right. It can help the central city block the monster attack, and then it might be easier to find a way back. So... I think now is good."
After Ling Tian finished speaking, he stood up, exhaled, and slightly raised his head to look at the sky: "If possible, I would like to meet with the true powerhouses of Central City to find out all the details of this monster attack. So... do you have a way to arrange a meeting?"
“Yes.” Miao Yi nodded: “Mr. Ling, I have some dealings with a deputy city lord, so if you need it, I can make the connection for you. However… Mr. Ling’s level of cultivation may not be enough to make the other party take it seriously.”
Upon hearing this, Ling Tian turned to Miao Yi and said, "Give me a week. I'll come find you in a week, and then we'll go together to find the deputy city lord you mentioned. You should also take a good rest during this time, okay?"
“Okay.” Miao Yi agreed: “A week is no problem, but Mr. Ling, you…”
"Don't worry about this. We'll meet here in a week. In the meantime, just pretend I never existed. Don't try to find me. Let me rest for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Tian turned and left, not giving Miao Yi a chance to speak at all.
Ling Tian continued on his way until he returned to his residence. Sitting on the sofa, he rummaged in his pocket, took out a top-grade crystal, and played with it in his hand while waiting for Lin Qi to come home.
This wait lasted for three hours.
Three hours later, Lin Qi returned home. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ling Tian sitting on the sofa.
Seeing that Ling Tian had returned so early, Lin Qi quickly went over and said, "Big brother, didn't you go out?"
"I'm back now." Ling Tian twirled the crystal in his hand and looked at Lin Qi, asking, "How was it? Did you find any useful information?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi sighed and shook his head: "No... I just found that many martial artists seem to dislike interacting with people. I talked to some ordinary humans, but I didn't get any useful information. They don't know anything. I'm sorry to disappoint you, brother."
"But don't worry, brother, I'll go out and gather intelligence again tomorrow. I'll definitely figure out what you're curious about, and I'll definitely..."
"Alright." Ling Tian waved his hand. "You don't need to go out to gather intelligence for now. Instead, you need to stay home for at least a week. You need to protect me. As for Central City..."
Ling Tian didn't hide anything from Lin Qi and repeated all the information Miao Yi had revealed to him.
When Lin Qi heard that the central city was about to be attacked by demonic beasts, his face immediately showed a surprised expression and he said, "Big brother, do you mean that this city is the target of the demonic beasts? They want to kill all the human martial artists?"
“I guess so.” Ling Tian nodded. “But their goal is not just to kill all the human warriors, but to leave the Apocalypse Space. They probably want to completely take over everything here, and then… go to other worlds to continue slaughtering humans.”
"The Apocalypse Space was originally created to defend against demonic beasts, so these powerful demonic beasts must all want to destroy it. Now, the demonic beasts must have found a way to destroy the entire city, so they are thinking of attacking together. Therefore... we must also become stronger."
Hearing Ling Tian's words, Lin Qi lowered his head slightly, looking somewhat dejected, and said, "I doubt my strength can be of any help, brother, I..."
"Alright, not everyone here is from the Saint Realm. What you need to do now is protect me for at least a week. When I come out of seclusion, I will guide you and improve your strength to the next level, at least enough to give you the ability to protect yourself."
Ling Tian spoke softly, then patted Lin Qi's shoulder: "So don't overthink it. Just do what I've entrusted to you, and leave the rest... to me. I will absolutely not let you get hurt or encounter any danger, understand?"
"Okay! Understood, brother!"
Lin Qi nodded in agreement, while also holding great expectations for his future.
The thought of staying in the central city and receiving Ling Tian's true teachings to further enhance his strength filled him with excitement.
Of course, the most important thing to achieve this goal is to get Ling Tian through this week.
All I need to do is protect Ling Tian. After a week, Ling Tian will give me some pointers, and then I'll survive the so-called monster attack. Then I'm sure I'll achieve great results in the central city.
Ling Tian had no idea what Lin Qi was thinking. He just glanced at Lin Qi and then walked into the bedroom.
Lin Qi, on the other hand, sat in the living room, exhaled, and waited quietly.
A week passed in a flash.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened this week, so Lin Qi has been quite comfortable.
Two more days passed, and Ling Tian still hadn't come out.
Even after Ling Tian had been in seclusion for nine days, Lin Qi was still sitting in the living room in a daze when suddenly, the sound of the bedroom door being pushed open came from behind him. Lin Qi turned around abruptly and saw Ling Tian standing in the doorway.
When their eyes met, Lin Qi didn't notice anything unusual about Ling Tian. He just felt that Ling Tian seemed to have become more handsome and had a better presence.
Just as Lin Qi was pondering, Ling Tian smiled faintly and looked at him, saying, "You've worked hard these past few days. Let's go, let's go out for a walk and find someone. You should be quite familiar with him."
Hearing Ling Tian's words, Lin Qi was slightly taken aback and was puzzled for a moment as to why Ling Tian would go out to find someone after emerging from seclusion.
Despite his doubts, he didn't ask any further questions. He simply nodded and followed Ling Tian outside.
Stepping out of the house, Ling Tian took a few breaths and nodded with a smile: "I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. I hope he's still here."
"Who exactly is Big Brother talking about?" Lin Qi could no longer contain himself and asked, "Big Brother said I would be more familiar with him, could it be that I've met him before?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Tian remained silent, but led Lin Qi to the riverbank.
When Lin Qi saw the figure sitting by the river, he frowned slightly, and after a moment he exclaimed in surprise, "You are... Miao Yi?"
