Chapter 682: A new world!
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
Shi Yan returned to the city center with a red face. He sat down immediately, his face slightly fierce. Yang Tian Emperor, Cao Qiu Dao, Di Shan, and Yu Rou gathered around him instinctively, looking at him bewilderedly.
“I’m alright,” Shi Yan beamed a reluctant smile. “It’s not like what you thought. Bao Ao and Jie Ji didn’t hurt me. Anyway, my body is a little bit strange. I need to adjust my state for a while.”
Then, he closed his eyes and started to urge his blood and Qi to scatter the liquor’s special effect, and blend it with his blood little by little.
That liquor helped him condense the Immortal Blood. This discovery surprised him cheerily. He would never let this chance slip away.
Drops of wine burned his stomach, making him redden, as if he had a furnace in his body. Heat waves rippled furiously from him.
Although Bing Qing Tong’s group was worried about him, the technique they had cultivated was the Ice Jade Technique, which made it hard for them to adapt well to heat. The four women had sweat all over their bodies, so they had to step backward, standing far from Shi Yan.
As Yang Tian Emperor’s team didn’t know what had happened or what was going on, they could only watch over him, and they didn’t even care about what was happening in the world out there.
In their eyes, Shi Yan being safe and sound was the most crucial matter. If he met anything unexpected, this city would be destroyed quickly.
The refugees who had just entered the city didn’t know anything. They all felt worried and resentful, but they didn’t dare to say a word.
It was the most critical time, when the pagans were still watching them as if watching their preys. Shi Yan was the owner of this city, but he seemed to not care about the situation. This made them worried about the sudden ambush of those pagan tribes.
Yun Hao, Yu Wan Jiang, Di Shan, Yi Tian Mo, and the others were floating near the edge of the city to watch over the alien tribes, in case they made a sudden move.
It happened fast, and this guarding group hadn’t prepared for this situation. They were all bewildered, not knowing what was going on.
The alien tribes… retreated.
The leaders of the Dark Clan, Corpse Clan, Dark Spirit Clan, and the Ghost Mark paled as if they had swallowed flies. They took their men and left quietly.
Yun Hao and Yu Wan Jiang gawked, dropping their jaws.
“What… What’s going on?” Yun Hao turned around to look at the Fighting Union’s hegemon standing behind him. “They came from ten thousand miles away to eradicate the Human Clan, right? Why did they withdraw at the most critical moment?”
The forces the five great tribes had shown them was much beyond Lin Meng’s five ancient factions. If they attacked, no one could be sure that the city would stand unharmed.
Yun Hao and Yu Wan Jiang were always tense. They had prepared well for a bloody battle.
However, at this moment, the four tribes had left, leaving only the Demon Tribe, who seemed to be throwing a big party over there instead of attacking the human beings in the city. Did they still look like a furious enemy?
Yun Hao and Yu Wan Jiang felt like their brains were so small that they were unusable now.
“The pagans withdrew! They have withdrawn!”
Some leaders of the smaller forces stood on the city wall and observed. They couldn’t help but shout, as if they were celebrating the New Year. Their faces were filled with happiness and hope.
The voices echoed in the city, giving the ones who were worried about their coming death a heavy dose of tranquilizer. They hugged each other while celebrating, as they had survived a disaster.
They had thought that they would be killed tragically by the heartless pagans. However, the alien tribes had left before the two sides engaged in a battle. What was going on?
Everybody was so happy that they were astounded. However, they were also suspicious as they didn’t know what had happened.
Everybody understood that the strange operation of the alien tribes was related to Shi Yan. However, he was meditating with his eyes closed. No one dared to disturb him, so no one could know what had happened.
The leaders of the Monster Clan hovering in the sky had prepared well to fight with the alien tribes. Seeing the significant change, they were startled, as they couldn’t make head or tail of it.
“Oh, no fighting? What did Shi Yan tell the… two Demons? Why did they leave?” Yan Long grabbed his flaming hair, but he couldn’t figure it out.
“Ghost knows,” Xue Lie shook his head continually. He seemed a little bit disappointed. “The energy in my body’s surging. I’m prepared to kill. F*ck it. No fight… Disappointed… I’m so disappointed.”
Yang Tian Emperor and Cao Qiu Dao glared at Shi Yan with great surprise.
In their hearts, Shi Yan had told the leaders of the Demon Clan something which created such a great reaction. However, they couldn’t think of what had made the alien tribes withdraw.
Many young people in the city were screaming and yelling happily, as if they had received a new life. The heavy stone pressing on their hearts was lifted.
At this moment, they vaguely thought that as long as they went with Shi Yan, they would survive well in the Divine Great Land, without worrying about the alien tribes.
They could imagine the tragic end of those who had left.
This small city was the only shelter for the Human Clan in the Divine Great Land. Once they could get in, they could survive. If they got ejected, the alien tribes would kill them shortly.
They suddenly felt so lucky that they had a wide vision to not follow the others and leave this place.
After an unknown period, while people were high with the relief and happiness, Shi Yan woke up. He grinned and then told them, “If you guys still have energy, we need to rebuild the outer city.”
Yang Tian Emperor and Li Zheng Rong were dumbstruck, looking at him.
“Demon Clan’s still out there,” said Li Zheng Rong.
“It’s okay. I’ll ask them to stay out of our sight,” Shi Yan stood up from the round platform, strolling towards the city wall. He talked to Bao Ao and Jie Ji, who were partying. “If you guys want to drink and have fun, please move further. My people are scared of you. Haha…”
“F*ck you, stinky kid! Do we obstruct your eyes here?” Jie Ji laughed and scolded him. He swung his hands. “Everybody, stay away. They don’t like us. We should go now.”
Strong warriors of the Demon Tribe wore black armor. They were all as cold as ice mountains, with a bloodthirsty aura, which made people be scared of them naturally.
They stood up and rode their demonic beasts away under Jie Ji’s yelling.
Bao Ao beamed a forced smile talking to Bo Ruo and Gu Da Si, “Tell our fellows to retreat further. Yeah, fifty miles then. Remember to drag those dead bodies with you.”
“Sir…” Bo Rou wanted to say something, but she didn’t finish.
Bao Ao swung his hand, talking faintly, “…Don’t ask much. Later on, you will know what we’ve done today will give our Demon Clan a new future.”
Bo Rou and Gu Da Si were struck. They nodded and said nothing, then took their men to leave.
Many Demon Tribe’s members were skeptical. Hearing Bao Ao’s words, they calmed down. Although they didn’t know the real reason, they understood it was a critical matter, and they chose to believe in their Head Master’s vision.
Many people in the city came to the city wall, looking at the place where the Demon Clan was gathering.
They saw that the demonic beasts the clansmen were riding had carried the dead human bodies away. Some were actually dismembering and swallowing the corpses. The horrible sounds from them sent shivers down people’s spines. Some women paled, as if they were about to throw up at any moment.
They could see clearly that those bodies belonged to the ones who stayed in the Ice and Fire Secret Domain, or the ones who had chosen to leave.
They knew many of them, and there were some with whom they had had drinks with, or discussed martial technique together.
At this moment, their acquaintances were the stiff corpses, which became the food for the beasts.
At this moment, they could see clearly what awaited them if they weren’t a part of the city. Perhaps, they would be one of those dead bodies.
There was only a wall separating them from that miserable fates. They were still alive, but their friends were dead now with incomplete bodies. This was the most tragic result they could imagine.
They suddenly felt grateful to Shi Yan from the bottom of their hearts.
Everybody understood that without Shi Yan and this city, they would have only one terrifying consequence – even their bones wouldn’t be left!
A cold current diffused from the bottom of their hearts, making them shiver, and melting the happiness they had just gained.
Yang Tian Emperor, Di Shan, Li Zheng Rong, Cao Qiu Dao, and Yun Hao had experienced many tragic situations. They understood how cruel the reality was. The moment the others left, they could predict their fate. Hence, they weren’t so surprised.
However, the two ancient families of the Demon Clan had followed Shi Yan’s words and retreated without any hesitation. This surprised them a lot.
Many people stood there bewilderedly, seeing the Demon Clan leaving. After a while, when all the clansmen of the Demon Clan had left, they shifted their skeptical looks to Shi Yan, hoping the man would clarify their doubts.
Under their hot gazes, Shi Yan was calm, and just beamed a faint smile. “Yeah, something’s changed indeed. However, I can’t talk much now. Haha… You just need to know that the alien tribes won’t trouble us for a short time.”
Shi Yan knew it wasn’t the right time to disclose his Demon bloodline. Otherwise, people in this city would be extreme and start overthinking. He wanted to discreetly change them and make them accept the fact, which was how the tribes would live together in the future.
Yang Tian Emperor’s team nodded, and didn’t chase him furthermore.
“We need to rebuild the city! Within ten days, we need to restore the outer city and make it stronger…” Shi Yan rose his voice until he was shouting. Pausing for a while, he added, “…For yourself.”
Everybody gladly followed him.
