Chapter 418 - 414: Three Fellows

Combat between experts was often swiftly concluded, decided by overwhelming power or decisive tactics. This was a well-known, indisputable principle of the cultivation world that many knew of. It led to fights that were explosive and chaotic, forcing most to be unable to hold back lest they suffer.

Wei Wuyin once more basked in the brilliance of combat, observing his animated dragons flow throughout the world domineeringly and imposingly. He clenched his fists, feeling a strong and potent sensation resurge within his heart that had been absent for a long time.

Since his arrival at the Myriad Monarch Sect, he’d been so focused on handling matters and concocting products that he had somewhat forgotten how killing intent felt, forgotten how it felt to end a life with his own power. The white elemental origin dragon that had chomped Ai Sanyuan whole crunched its teeth, grinding sounds resounded as her fleshy body was refined by elemental powers.

It seemed to smile as it did so, causing ordinary people to feel an icy chill run down their spines. There were also ordinary people who were watching these events.

Far away, observing behind a semi-transparent white ward, the human captives were watching the battle with awed expressions, their mouth agape and their eyes like full moons, widened to their limits.

"He...she’s dead...?" The battle was far beyond their level, so witnessing such terrifying beings clash was a thunderously lively event in their hearts. Ai Shanyuan wasn’t someone they were unaware of. They were Seekers of The Desolate Lands, so they all purchased the basic information of who’s who amongst the Grey Sand Elves.

Ai Shanyuan was a talented genius who brought her Earth Intent to extremely high levels, allowing her to govern a city. One must know, there were only a few hundred cities amongst the Grey Sand Elven Tribe, divided by the Nine Grand Clans, and Ai Shanyuan controlled an entire city. Her talent, strength, and reputation was not little by any means.

To see her be eaten, devoured so mercilessly by that white dragon, and have it smile as it rejoiced in her seemingly delicious flesh and bones, made their scalps turn numb with horrified emotions.

And they were humans, so the reaction of a Grey Sands Elf would be even more intense, and it was!

Ai Juling was awake and spectating, her eyes stared at the nine dragons swarming through the clouds, sundering the ground casually, and twisting playfully amongst themselves. She gulped, but her heart sank and she closed her eyes. Her cultivation base was currently sealed by a spell, so she didn’t even try to run away.

To add, she was shrouded by a white ward that shielded her from the shockwaves and aura of the fight.

ROAR!

Wei Wuyin once more found it strange to be referred to as Senior by those hundreds of years older than him, even if it was a custom amongst cultivators. But being referred to as Junior by those who were weak by comparison would similarly feel wrong, so he wasn’t certain how to respond to this feeling of his. After all, he was referred to as Prince Wei, Lord Wei, Heavenly King Wei, his majesty, Ascendant Emperor Wei, or simply Wei Wuyin in his starfield. His status and reputation was simply that great.

"The Grey Sands Elves of that city don’t seem to be pursuing, so you’re all free." When Wei Wuyin stated this, their heavy hearts felt relieved. They won’t be sold off as Energy Converters or Alchemic Proxies! This was great news. As for the Grey Sands Elves hunting them down? Unlikely.

They’ll be focused on Wei Wuyin, not them. They were just small fries in comparison. But this left everyone a little uncertain how to proceed. If they left now, they might be recaptured, but if they stayed and stronger forces arrived and eventually killed Wei Wuyin or he was pushed to the point of fleeing, then their deaths were clear.

Most of the Seekers decided to return to hunting, exploring the world on their own. They used all sorts of tools, clothes, and their own forces to resist the desolate power and departed in different directions. The only ones who stayed were three individuals: the bald man, the elderly man, and the man who mocked Wei Wuyin.

These three were named Huang Yu, Chu Leitao, and Li Wang respectively.

The elderly man, Chu Leitao, cautiously spoke at this moment: "Senior, may I ask where you intend to go?"

Wei Wuyin inspected this elderly man with a muscular body and felt that he was quite perceptive. He was also the one who answered his questions the most, so he liked him enough to give him some respect. "I don’t know exactly. In truth, I’m not familiar with The Desolate Lands. What I do know is that I need to find a human city to gather my bearings."

The bald man’s eyes brightly lit as he jumped with excitement. After receiving the glances of the others, his face turned a little red in a blush. Huang Yu truly had a child-like quality about him, and this caused Wei Wuyin to like him as well. After a moment of silence, the bald man avidly spoke what was on his mind.

"There’s a city called the Grandquake City! It’s nearby and I have a residence there within my clan! If...if you want, I can bring you there." Huang Yu stammered at the end, a little uncertain if Wei Wuyin would accept his invitation, but his excitement at the prospect leaked uncontrollably.

Wei Wuyin’s face formed a slight smile, "Alright."

Chu Leitao was startled by the ease at which Wei Wuyin accepted such an invitation, but considering he wasn’t familiar with The Desolate Lands or the ways of the world, he might be ignorant of the implications of being invited to a clan.

Li Wang was silent, merely watching the conversation. He decided he’d travel with them and return to Grandquake City. He was a member of the Central Region, so he didn’t have a clan stationed here like Huang Yu, who was clearly a native of The Desolate Lands.

Wei Wuyin didn’t mind his inclusion, wanting to ask a few more questions and clarifications regarding this new world. With a wave of his hand, he brought Ai Juling into his arms in a bridal carry, her head on his shoulder. Her delicate body trembled a little, but she remained ’asleep’ so he didn’t bother with her.

"Let’s go."
