Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 366: We are at our limit

'Why do I feel this way?' Zhao Liwei though in confusion. He stares at her intently and regardless where he looks at, the more he feels that his thoughts and feelings around Gao Lan Mei do not make sense.

'Is she a distant relative?' He thought to himself, which he also a stupid idea. Zhao Liwei will not ask further and just observe further.

After that, Wei Jiayi just stayed close to Gao Lan Mei as she continued to write her runes on a bunch of small stones.

Wei Jiayi is already acting like her personal guard instead of staying close to Zhao Liwei who just stands across them, arms over his chest as he leans on the wall, with closed eyes, like he is resting.

The only sound in the chamber is from the rocks that were thrown to the other corner after Gao Lan Mei had finished on them.

"Sister, are you almost done?" Ma Fei Hong asked, after a while through her firefly. "We are at our limit." Her voice sounding a little worried.

Gao Lan Mei bit her lower lip after hearing that and replied. "Not yet! Tell them to endure some more!"

...

Shizi Empire Gates

"We are all going to die!" Someone finally exclaimed, due to exhaustion.

"Shut up! The help will be here soon!" Another replied.

"Where are the reinforcements?! How long do we need to be like this?" One added sounding hopeless.

All of them agreed to stay in the barrier because they are expecting that help will arrive. Now it is near sunset and there is still no help yet!

They also understand that at this point even though they left the Shizi Empire there is no guarantee that they can keep their life due to the Yinyings waiting at the other side of the barrier.

There are a lot of experts from the Immortal Domain that is mainly maintaining the barrier. All the beings from the Immortal Domain are in the Shizi Empire as advised by their own clan family's priest.

They are on the Mortal Domain to look for the keeper that broke the law of life and death.

That was the message that they had received and they want to have that being as part of their family. If the keeper refused then killing is another option.

They are not supposed to be in this situation, holding a barrier for the citizens to be able to leave the Shizi Empire for safety.

What about them? Heroism is not part of there being and in all honesty, most of them already want to run as far away as possible to this place. However, for some reason, they feel dread whenever they want to run away.

Why? Is that something to do with the paper that was given by Sung Zhi Ruo earlier?

Is the Sung young miss conniving with Justice Affairs to keep them to the Shizi Empire?

Most of the experts that are holding the barrier are standing on the top of the Shizi Empire walls.

They have a better view of the dark smoke as it slowly spread as well as the YinYings that had is just waiting for them to lose the spiritual energy.

Are they going to be used as a sacrifice? The doubt of the reinforcement arriving is already in their heart.

With the high number of enemies, though cannot be compared to the numbers of cultivators in the empire, they are still in the disadvantage.

Why? One, because of the limit of resources. They do not have much spiritual energy replenishing pills left. Some even need to consume more than that rest do to just help out stabilize the barrier.

Second, there are a very low number of cultivators in the Shizi Empire that can really help their current situation.

Third, when the barrier falls down, everyone is at their limit and will be on a disadvantage if they fight.
