Chapter 4731 — I'm Not Leaving!

Huo Yudie shook her head again, then suddenly her eyes flickered. "Elder sisters, if I muster a single strike with all my might and first try to send him through the teleportation—I wonder, would that be possible?"
This was the one method she had hit upon after two days of turning it over and over in her mind. She knew well enough it might not be so easy, but what if it truly were feasible? There was no one else in line now anyway, and she trusted the two West Island experts could give her a clear answer.
"Then you yourself won't be able to get out! The one-month deadline has arrived. To activate the teleportation array now, you must unleash your strongest move, without holding anything back in the slightest—only then can you barely succeed. And even so, you yourself may well fail to get through. This is no jesting matter!" the West Island expert warned her in stern, sharp tones.
"That's right. The one-month deadline is the limit for a Yuanying consummation expert—you cannot afford the slightest depletion!" The other West Island expert also shook her head vigorously, then added, "And if you mean to put him into the array while you stand outside and trigger the teleportation yourself, well, it's not wholly impossible, but the difficulty is tremendous. The array's eye is hidden inside; without some special technique, there's simply no striking it from outside. You had best think this through clearly."
"This…" Huo Yudie bit her lip and pondered. Whether or not it could succeed, why not first try with all her might and see whether she could send Wei Zhao through?
Only, if she did so, then no matter whether Wei Zhao was ultimately sent through or not, she herself would certainly be unable to leave. It amounted to staking her own fate as the wager, gambling to win Wei Zhao a single thread of chance.
As for the difficulty the two West Island experts had spoken of, Huo Yudie did not take it too much to heart. She was, after all, a prodigy disciple of East Continent's Morning Pride Academy—she had the means for this much.
"You'd better come with us. This attempt is utterly meaningless. One of the two of you must stay behind in any case. If you choose him—quite apart from whether it can even succeed—even if it truly did, in his dying state he likely couldn't withstand the physical burden of teleportation, and might well die all the faster for it." Seeing the time nearly up, the two West Island experts made their final plea.
"Ah?" Huo Yudie started at these words. Had the other not reminded her, she would have forgotten this point entirely. The teleportation process placed an enormous burden on the body. For cultivators in ordinary circumstances it hardly mattered, but in a state like Wei Zhao's present one, the other's words were no idle alarm.
What was more, even if Wei Zhao could endure it in his current condition, once he reached West Island, if no one were there to look after him—even a brief window of neglect might breed unforeseen trouble. What if Kaizi and his accomplices were lying in wait right at the teleportation array's far side, watching for the chance to finish him off with a blade?!
Analyzed this way, sending Wei Zhao through alone carried far too much risk—plainly not the wise choice. Yet for Huo Yudie to go alone, she would sooner die than agree.
At this thought, Huo Yudie abruptly set her jaw, and said with resolute resolve, "I thank you both for your kindness, elder sisters—but I'm not leaving!" (To be continued)
