Unsealing: Omnipotent Father 344 Shang Ting: Rescue Operation

Luckily, she had distributed a lot of the Mo Family's experts throughout the neighboring kingdom's territory before everything even started, and right now, these experts are returning left and right, giving reports of the events transpiring everywhere.

It's like a few levels below of Kara's own network, still, it isn't like they have treasures that can allow communication between two sides, which, the Poison Fanged Centipedes are born with.

Shang Ting is currently trying to calm herself, after all, 90 out of 100 reports are all about citizens evacuating, turning to refugees seeking asylum no matter where they can find, some even started dying due to starvation and being killed by minor demonic beasts.

She stood at the flying city's edge as she looked at the southwest part of the continent: "Elder Jiahao."

"Yes, Matriarch." Jiahao immediately appeared behind her.

"How many Magical Spear do we have in total?" She asked.

"There are close to a hundred thousand Magical Spears since yesterday, if the production didn't decrease, it will reach a hundred thousand tops today." Jiahao paused for a bit: "Matriarch, are you planning to..."

Shang Ting didn't respond for a while before responding: "I can't watch all these innocent lives dying, I know I am not the Patriarch of the family, but..."

As she spoke up to here, the other elders, Zhong, Zedong, and Yi Jun appeared: "Matriarch, do not say it like that."

"You are the Patriarch's wife, he had given you the authority that you have now, your orders will be as good as his."

"We will never disobey nor think of your orders any lesser than the Patriarch himself!"

"Matriarch, you are our master if the Patriarch isn't here, why hesitate?"

All four elders smiled at her, they are determined no matter what Shang Ting's choice would be.

Shang Ting sighed: "Well, should we?"

As she spoke to this, she looked back and smiled at the elders, all the four elders smiled at her as they simultaneously spoke: "Matriarch, we only await your words."

The Original Mo Family are a Clan of the Lang Ya Great Kingdom, they are known for being kind and giving, the Xiao Clan of the Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom then tried to form a bond with them through an arranged marriage, not knowing of their true intentions, they accepted.

Leading to the annihilation of the Mo Family's clan, the only one that escaped is Mo Xie, he had traveled for more than a month heading towards the Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom, well, the idiot wanted to get his revenge but died from malnourishment also the reason for Mo Xie's rebirth, well, all is good now.

Shang Ting immediately ordered: "Leave behind a quarter of the Magical Spear to protect the Mo Family, we will need seventy thousand people to join, but do not force anyone."

"We will leave a few experts here to protect the family too, we will head out in five days."

"Yes." The four elders immediately dispersed to do their tasks.

Shang Ting smiled ruefully, these people came here to seek asylum, to have a better future for their own, why would they leave again to face even a bigger problem? She merely hoped that out of the ten million citizens of the Mo Family, there could at least be seventy thousand that are willing to partic.i.p.ate in this mission.

News of Shang Ting recruiting volunteers for a ma.s.sive mission was immediately spread throughout the Mo Family's territory, immediately, it turned into a huge piece of news.

Shang Ting didn't expect this outcome at all.

Out of the ten million citizens, six million are females, children, and old. Yet, more than five million wanted to partic.i.p.ate, it would've been more if the husbands of each family didn't stop their wives from partic.i.p.ating, after all, if both the father and mother were to go, who would remain to take care of the young? Well, married couples with no offsprings started to also make their way towards the gathering point.

Immediately, people started to gather, wis.h.i.+ng to help the Mo Family's cause, they didn't feel obliged, but that's how Mo Xie and Shang Ting had made them feel. If they wish to live peacefully, they needed to protect it themselves, only by doing so with their own hands can they be satisfied.

"Only when you protected your own peace will you be completely satisfied."

These words caused them to feel powerless, but also change, slowly, they wanted to stand for themselves, to protect and fight for what they believe in.

(Well, a little cheeky if I may say so myself)

Still, with the introduction of the Magical Spear, everyone can fight.

With the thought of being able to help the one that saved them and helped them change, all of them immediately took the chance.

Shang Ting immediately found it harder to pick, after all, she only needed seventy thousand volunteers. It can never exceed that, they will only be bringing Magical Lances a little bit higher than that number.

She also needs to mind the number of resources they would take.

"We only need seventy thousand, no more than that, pick those that had come first." Shang Ting voiced her order.

The rest immediately nods their head and started to pick.

With that decided, Shang Ting announced it: "Everyone, I thank all of you in wanting to partic.i.p.ate, but we can only take with us seventy thousand people."

"Matriarch, we too want to fight for the Mo Family."

"Matriarch, give us all a chance!"

"Yes, we definitely will try our best to not hinder you in any way!"

Shang Ting smiled at them, although it became rowdy and chaotic, as soon as she opened her lips, everyone quieted down: "Everyone, it is not that I do not want to bring you all, it is just that we have limited weapons to use in this quest."

"But just because I won't bring all of you along does not mean that you will stay here doing nothing."

"After all, both outside and inside are equally in danger, we need people in both sides, you also need to protect this place, for us to have a place to return to safely."

"The continent is in utter chaos right now, our territory might be attacked when we are gone, who should protect this place when that happens?"

As she spoke to this, they all looked at one another, will there be people attacking this place? Even their wall of trees is as high as a mountain, but then, experts can fly.

If there really is an invasion, there are more than nine million people within the territory, many cultivators too.

"But then, a single expert at the Immortal Foundation rank can cause a huge ruckus, right?"

Everyone nods at this, another one spoke: "We might also die from the process."

Shang Ting nods at them: "Each of us has a role to do, to defend and protect this place are the responsibilities of those that remain, no matter whether you will be joining us or staying, both sides will face similar danger, we all will fight a war, hence, I hope that you all can understand."

Everyone nods their head.

"Then, please, proceed with the volunteers, you can talk to others to exchange position with you, but you can never force someone from doing so, understand?" Shang Ting smiled at them and asked.

"Yes!" They all nodded simultaneously.

Shang Ting heaved a sigh as she went back to the Mo Family's flying city.

Then, as she moved closer back to the mansion, the guests blocked her path, Ouyang Chen and his followers.

"Sister-in-law..." Ouyang Chen spoke worriedly.

Shang Ting smiled at him and asked: "Oh, what seemed to have troubled our guest?"

Shang Ting is a very intelligent lady, that, Ouyang Chen is aware of, seeing him here might already give her a few things in mind already.

"Are you going out?" He asked.

Shang Ting smiled and nods her head: "In three days, yes."

"I am his sworn brother, I would like to ask this, is there any way I can stop you from going?" Instead of trying to stop Shang Ting from going out, Ouyang Chen asked, because she is the type of person that never goes back when she made a decision, that is something he had observed for the days that he had stayed with the Mo Family.

"There are none." Shang Ting replied with no hesitation at all.

She had observed this person and his followers for the past few days, though she had received news from her husband, she didn't 100% believe it at first, she just pretended to do so.

But after observing him for a while, she started to loosen her observation, Ouyang Chen and his followers had tried to help whenever they could, going here and there and only stopping to rest.

It became like, the Mo Family is his business too, without looking at any profit nor benefits, he helped the Family, still, her guard is up in case of any unforeseen problems occurring.

Ouyang Chen nodded at her response and spoke: "If there is none, then, I will accompany you."

Waving his hand, he pointed at the female followers: "These are my sister's followers, they will remain here and help guard this place while I go with you and help you with anything I could."

He didn't say he'd protect Shang Ting, he didn't want to sound arrogant or anything, he just wants to secretly do so for his sworn brother, after all, Mo Xie might have already suffered from an attack and thought that he too, will protect his sister in his stead.

Shang Ting looked at Ouyang Chen wanting to reject, but seeing his determined eyes, she immediately gave up without trying.

"Then, please help me in this quest." Shang Ting nods her head.

But at this moment, a scout returned, his body covered with blood and sweat as he shouted: "Matriarch, I have a grave news to report!"
