"Ah! That came out wrong. Let me try that again." Ma Fei Hong immediately spoke again. "Everyone just needs to share a part of your soul like an imprint, if that makes sense, so we can have enough spiritual energy to create the new barrier." No one answered so she continued. "Probably you all understand cause everyone here is smart beings." She knows that she is rambling but that is the best Ma Fei Hong can do.
She can try killing someone perhaps later if they are all really being difficult. That is a better idea before they turned into YinYings that feeds on the black smoke that continues to spread outside.
Ma Fei Hong may not completely agree with Gao Lan Mei"s plan, but she also knows the main point why the woman needs to request for this.
Gao Lan Mei does not have enough spiritual energy to make a defense wall for the entire empire, so this is the only way that she can tamper to everyone spiritual energy, borrowing it one time to set up a very strong wall, just like what she did in the safety chambers.
It is just too bad that Ma Fei Hong cannot do what Gao Lan Mei can. Probably this way, they do not need to make this request.
Just like what Ma Fei Hong has expected, her second good news is not that easy to accept. She only got silence, a very long silence before someone spoke with slight disbelief, "Deacon Ma, you are joking right?"
"Ah, good one. He told me the exact words that I had spoken to Gao Lan Mei earlier." Ma Fei Hong thought to herself, before asking, "What"s your name boy? So I will know if I should make a joke out of you." She spoke threateningly.
"Deacon Ma, can you explain why we need to share a part of our soul for a defense wall?" Sung Zhi Ruo asked softly, saving her own clan member from the wrath of the deacon. "There are other ways to create a defense wall if we give time for the others to recover..."
"Hmp! Sung Zhi Ruo you are a smart woman, and I know that you can see that is close to impossible. You also know that the soul is a source of the most potent and strong spiritual energy, called, life." Ma Fei Hong explained impatiently. "This is exactly the life that we are all trying to save now!"
Ma Fei Hong is furious as even though all the experts are not speaking up, she can already feel the refusal that they have right now with the suggestion.
Can she blame them? No! That is what Ma Fei Hong is getting angry about.
Why? Some might wonder why the idea alone is revolting. That is because even if it is only a small part of the soul, no one will hand it over to a total stranger. It is like giving them the power to kill someone in an instant or turn them into a puppet.
Worse is to use it to have access to the rest of their soul and have them cease existing entirely, not even a chance of reincarnating.
However, life is always a gamble and Ma Fei Hong wants them to decide and bet all they have now!
"Sadly I"m not joking. Either we decide to keep on maintaining the feeble barrier that we have right now that may crumble eventually and allow the YinYings to wipe us all later cause we do not have enough beings that can fight or you do what I say!" Ma Fei Hong exclaimed.
Then she added furiously as she tries to make everyone understand that the plan is the best that they have now. "Let me also tell you another thing. The gate to the Immortal Domain is now not useable. That is exactly the reason why our help is delayed because they are fixing it!"
