Chapter 998 Meeting the Witch Tribe Again
“Since that’s the case, now the Great Xia is engulfed in war, three defense lines have fallen, and people are suffering! Why haven’t you Boundary Guardians stepped forward yet?”
Lin Feng asked.
“Things aren’t as simple as you imagine. If the high-level figures on the other side don’t take action, naturally we can’t either. Otherwise, it wouldn’t just be an ordinary battle, but a second Ancient Catastrophe!”
Master Mingde paused, then sighed:
“Most importantly, we’ve all grown old! The human race lacks successors… In fact, humans no longer have the resources to contend with the God race! That’s why our human side has been enduring silently, unwilling to be the first to break this balance! Can you understand?”
Hearing these words,
Lin Feng fell silent!
He had previously thought that with people like Ye Xuan, Chen Beixuan, Emperor Qin, and Emperor Han, humanity’s foundation was actually unfathomably deep. Now he realized he had been too optimistic.
“So how many powerful experts does our human race currently have?”
“Apart from Yangzhou, the governors of the other eight provinces are all Level Five.”
“What about Level Six?”
“Level Six? As far as I know, there are no Level Six experts left within Great Xia’s borders! Of course, perhaps I just don’t know… At Level Six, one is no longer bound by any constraints, and their thinking is different from ours!”
Master Mingde shook his head.
Afterward,
The two talked for a long time.
As the governor of Qingzhou and a senior who had devoted himself to the human race,
Master Mingde patiently explained to Lin Feng, revealing various inside stories in detail, answering many of Lin Feng’s doubts!
After listening, Lin Feng felt a strange mix of emotions.
He wasn’t sure if it was his imagination,
But he actually sensed a kind of despair in Master Mingde’s tone—the despair of being unable to contend with the God race and having to endure humiliation to survive. It wasn’t that humans didn’t want to resist, but that they lacked the power to fight back!
Maintaining the current balance was already extremely difficult!
“So, what did you want to see me about, Senior?”
Lin Feng picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
“Before answering that question, I’d like to know Young Friend Lin’s strength?”
Master Mingde’s expression turned solemn.
Lin Feng thought for a moment, then replied directly:
“Unmatched among Level Four, but for Level Five, I probably can’t handle them yet!”
“Very good… With such strength, it’s enough to guard Yangzhou!”
“You want me to be the governor of Yangzhou?”
Lin Feng was surprised.
“That’s right!”
Master Mingde nodded, then quickly continued:
“Since the Spirit Realm connected with our ancestral land, spiritual energy has resurged, and the dragon veins of the Nine Provinces have awakened! Now many people are secretly coveting these dragon veins!”
“The Yangzhou dragon vein is hidden in the Huangshan mountain range! When the Sword Ancestor was around, there was nothing to worry about, but unfortunately, after the last opening of the celestial path, the Sword Ancestor disappeared, leaving only a sword tomb! The tomb-guarding clan alone obviously cannot protect it!”
“So, I hope Young Friend Lin can go to Huangshan to guard the dragon vein…”
“……”
Lin Feng frowned in silence.
In three months, he still had to fight Ming Luo to the death, and he had no time to waste on this matter!
After careful consideration,
Lin Feng still shook his head and refused.
“I’m sorry, I cannot take on this responsibility!”
“Why not?”
Master Mingde quickly asked.
So Lin Feng explained about the duel in three months, and then, thinking of the sword tomb, he changed his mind and said:
“Although I can’t be the governor of Yangzhou, I can make a trip to Huangshan… Ten days! I’ll help you guard Huangshan for ten days, during which time you can find a suitable candidate, how about that?”
After hearing this, Master Mingde hesitated for a long time, but finally nodded and said:
“It seems that’s the only option!”
After bidding farewell to Master Mingde,
Lin Feng didn’t go directly to Huangshan, but chose to return to Yunchuan first.
On one hand, he needed to arrange some matters,
On the other hand, he wanted to quickly absorb the fire-attribute celestial crystal in his possession, which would at least increase his combat power a bit!
Meanwhile,
On the streets of Yunchuan City.
An old man and a young man were walking slowly.
The old man wore a gray short-sleeved shirt, his withered legs bare,
He held a skull-headed cane, and his white hair was tied into dozens of small braids, looking quite incongruous.
The young man beside him was similarly dressed in strange clothing with blue, black, and red colors intertwined. He was robust and tall, nearly 2.5 meters in height, drawing sidelong glances from hurried passersby.
“Where did these two come from? They look so strange! They’re not from the God race, are they?”
“Impossible! Our Yunchuan now has powerful figures from the Spirit Realm Alliance guarding it. How could people from the God race walk openly here? Judging by their clothing, they should be from a minority ethnic group.”
“They look like people from the Witch tribe, but the Witch tribe has always been in the Lingnan mountain range. Why would they come here?”
Passersby couldn’t help but discuss in low voices.
The old man and the young man heard these discussions and suddenly stopped.
“Whoosh~”
The robust young man grabbed the closest passerby with one hand and asked in a rumbling voice:
“Where is the headquarters of the Spirit Realm Alliance?”
“Why… why are you asking this?”
The captured passerby nervously asked.
“Bang!”
The robust young man directly crushed the passerby,
The splashing blood stained the ground, making the onlookers shudder with fear, scattering in all directions.
“Bang!”
The robust young man stomped his foot,
The blue brick ground instantly cracked, and an invisible wave swept outward. Those trying to escape suddenly tumbled, falling to the ground.
“Who knows where the headquarters of the Spirit Realm Alliance is?”
The robust young man continued to ask.
His expression was cold and terrifying, combined with his 2.5-meter height, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Seeing that no one dared to answer,
The robust young man stomped again.
“Boom!”
At least four or five people exploded under his foot, dying tragically on the spot!
“I’ll ask one more time, where is the Spirit Realm Alliance headquarters?”
“At the Chen family… Those important figures from the Spirit Realm Alliance are all at the Chen family now!”
Someone finally couldn’t bear it and hurriedly answered, pointing in the direction of the Chen family!
“The Chen family?”
The old man murmured.
“This Chen family is just a martial arts clan, but they seem quite arrogant. They had a small conflict with our tribe before, killing many foreigners. At that time, the Qingzhou governor secretly mediated, so the matter was left unresolved!”
The robust young man said.
“Let’s go and take a look at the Chen family.”
The old man nodded,
Walking in the direction indicated by the passerby.
The robust young man followed closely behind the old man,
And shortly after they left,
A variety of strange insects emerged from the ground, completely devouring the group of terrified passersby.
In the Chen family living room.
Chen Shan, the Yin-Gathering Immortal, Chen Qianxu, and others were gathered with some cultivators from the Spirit Realm Alliance, discussing the front-line battle situation.
“After yesterday’s battle, the southern line of Great Xia has stabilized. Yunchuan City should not be in any danger for the time being!”
Zhang Wu slowly said.
“Thank you for your efforts, honored ones!”
Chen Shan said with a smile.
Although these important figures from the Spirit Realm Alliance were now very polite to them because of his son-in-law, their strength was undeniable, and he dared not be presumptuous.
“We are just completing the task assigned by our Alliance Leader, there’s no need for thanks… Next, we’ll wait for the Alliance Leader’s next instructions!”
Zhang Wu shook his head,
Then, as if remembering something, he added:
“By the way, after yesterday’s battle ended, a group of mysterious people suddenly appeared. These people wore strange clothing and were very odd. Do you know who they might be?”
“Mysterious people?”
Chen Shan was confused.
“Yes! These mysterious people appeared after the battle ended, targeting the corpses on the battlefield… Their attitude was very arrogant, not taking us seriously. We had a bit of a conflict with them at the time.”
Zhang Wu said solemnly.
Hearing this, Chen Shan frowned in thought, unable to guess their identity.
At this moment, Chen Qianxu spoke up:
“Could they be from the Witch tribe? The Witch tribe cultivates their bodies and raises insects, they’re quite sinister…”
“The Witch tribe?”
Zhang Wu and the other Spirit Realm Alliance cultivators frowned.
Just then.
“Bang!”
A muffled sound suddenly came from outside.
Immediately after,
Two corpses of Chen family guards were thrown into the hall from outside.
