Chapter 124 This is... the power of the human race
"You're a lunatic! I thought you were dead!"
Xue Tong's angry voice reached her ears. Xue Lan smiled slightly. The ice wall not far in front of her slowly melted, and the frozen monsters inside woke up one by one.
Xue Lan heard Cui Wu's trembling voice: "Senior Sister!"
Since Xue Lan was blind, she simply closed her eyes and used her divine sense to perceive, disappearing from the spot before Cui Wu could find her.
When Cui Wu arrived at the foot of the city wall, he only saw a pool of blood that had not yet congealed.
Xue Lan stood in the void and raised her hand to touch her left arm.
It has grown back.
The girl smiled slightly. It seemed that the inner demon had done one good thing while possessing her body. It saved her from getting scolded by Yin Shishi.
It's Yan Chengxue...
Thinking of this, the girl raised her hand and touched her forehead.
If my memory serves me right, I just pinned someone to the ground and then called them weak and helpless.
The weapon refiner mocked the formation master, saying that she was truly ignorant and arrogant.
But as awkward as it may be, things still need to be done. At worst, he can just smile and forge a few magical artifacts for the array genius later.
After all, working for Xue Lan is just too exhausting.
Yan Chengxue was healing herself on the array platform above Jiangyun Valley when she suddenly heard a girl's somewhat hoarse voice:
"Yan Chengxue, are you alright?"
Yan Chengxue hated situations where someone was clearly full of resentment but still had to listen attentively. The boy's tone was harsh: "Thank you, Senior Sister Xue, for showing mercy and not crippling my hands that set up the formation."
Xue Lan was momentarily speechless, then quickly put on a show of sincerity: "This is my fault. Afterwards, see what you want, make a list for me, and I'll do everything I can for you."
Upon hearing this, Yan Chengxue's previously drooping lips began to curve upwards.
"real?"
Xue Lan's firm voice rang out: "Really!"
The boy's voice suddenly warmed, like a flower blooming unexpectedly at his fingertips: "What are your orders?"
"Is the Thousand-Woven Cave filled?"
Yan Chengxue glanced at the magical beast below, struggling to climb out due to the influence of the Myriad Manifestations Array: "Hmm, what should we do next?"
"Go find Daoist Shunhua and Senior Sister Min, and use the secret technique of the Water Lotus above the Thousand Weaving Cave to create a rain."
Xue Lan's voice was soft, but it once again lowered Yan Chengxue's standards.
"I knew you were ruthless, but I didn't know you were this ruthless. Just you wait!"
The boy agreed to the request. Xue Lan stood silently in the void. After a long while, the girl heard the sound of the city gate gently opening behind her.
Xue Lan couldn't see it, but she sensed a Ziwei aura.
Is it that emperor of the Great Shun Dynasty?
Cui Wu failed to find Xue Lan below the city wall, and the people in the city began to riot in great fear.
The coordinator of Fuyang City kept her promise to Xie He. She quietly opened the city gates and arranged a magnificent rescue for the aging emperor.
Xue Lan heard the neighing of the warhorse. The warhorse beneath the aged emperor was in its prime, its muscles bulging. The temperature in Fuyang City had been somewhat low due to Xue Lan's previous sword strike, and the breath exhaled by the warhorse turned into a white mist.
The emperor on his warhorse was old and frail, like a flickering candle in the rainy night. The aura of the Purple Star on his body gradually faded in Xue Lan's eyes and dissipated into the world.
The roars of the monsters rose and fell once more in the waning night, and accompanied by the neighing of warhorses, the Fuyang City Guard, led by Xie He, charged towards the monster horde.
The monster horde had already been wiped out by Xue Lan's previous sword strike, and was routed under the onslaught of the Fuyang City garrison.
Cui Wu, standing atop the city wall, broadcast this scene to the people of Fuyang City via a photographic stone.
The informants, who had been planted in the crowd beforehand, received orders from Cui Wu and shouted in the crowd, "That's His Majesty!"
"That's the Emperor!"
"It's the Emperor."
"We can kill demons too! Well done! Let's wipe them out completely!"
……
The people of Fuyang City gradually grew more agitated, illuminating half the sky in Xue Lan's eyes. It appeared incredibly hot and warm. Some of the magical beasts below began to retreat, but the Fuyang City garrison refused to give them a chance to leave, determined to keep them within the city walls.
Xue Lan murmured, "This is... the power of the human race."
Xue Lan's thoughts drifted far, far away, across the grass and trees, the demonic tide, and the soldiers in front of her.
In the Crimson Cloud Valley, Min Chang and Daoist Shunhua joined forces to activate the Water Lotus Secret Technique above the Thousand Weaving Cave. A light rain fell from the sky, and the demonic beasts below turned into dark brown blood amidst their screams.
Before Yingwu Mountain, Daoist Ziyun slowly sheathed her sword. Behind her, several headless corpses of demons lay on the ground. With a wave of her hand, Daoist Ziyun unleashed a raging fire behind her, instantly incinerating the bodies to ashes.
On the main battlefield of Luoxia Mountain, Ji Jinjin slashed a Nascent Soul stage demon in front of her with a single spear thrust, and the human army had already pushed the demon to the edge of the Lei Kui formation.
Zhu He, Xu Qizhou, Yue Cheng, Long Siyin...
They all stood behind Ji Jinjin, watching the girl point the tip of her spear at the dark mass of demons opposite her. The spear tip emitted a terrifying aura, making the surrounding soldiers shudder.
"Listen up, you beasts! One day, the army of Yuanming Realm will crush the Nine Heavens Demon Realm, and within Yuanming, all demons will be beheaded!"
The rain stopped, and it got light!
The girl in the void beneath the city wall smiled with satisfaction, and finally looked at Cui Wu on the city tower of Fuyang City.
"Xue Tong, they've grown up. Aren't they good enough?"
Xue Tong was a little confused: [What are you talking about?]
Before Xue Lan's eyes began to appear a colorful scene, and the entire Yuanming Lower Realm turned into a colorful world. Xue Lan saw countless red ropes extending from her wrist in all directions.
Whom are they connected to? Are they Ji Jinjin and the others fighting on the battlefield of Luoxia Mountain, or the soldiers who sacrificed themselves in Jiangyun Valley and were abandoned by them?
As the sun rose, Xue Lan saw a golden light slowly rise.
This long and cold rainy night has finally come to an end.
The girl's voice was soft. She raised one of her hands, and countless red lines stretched out from her sleeve, extending into Fuyang City and further into the heart of the Great Shun Dynasty.
Xue Lan knew that this was due to a deeper cause and effect, stemming from Xue Lan's saving of the people in this city.
The girl slowly lowered her hands, placing them behind her back. She resembled a crane, detached from the world.
She heard the gasping of an emperor on his deathbed.
Xie He's time to die is today.
The elderly emperor fell off his horse and was caught by Lin Cenxu from behind.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty! This humble servant will go find the Immortal Master immediately, and I will go find Miss Cui right now!"
Xie He grasped his hand and slowly shook his head: "I foresaw this day ever since I left the capital... I... will go down and apologize."
After speaking, the old man's hand fell limply to his side, and the last breath he had been kept alive by miraculous medicines in the city lord's mansion of Fuyang City dissipated the moment his wish was fulfilled.
Emperor Yuanhe of the Great Shun Dynasty, Xie He, ended his life of constant anxiety and deep remorse on the battlefield.
Some people are still young, but some people can never go back.
