Chapter 665: Chapter 666: The Elder of the Yuan Family
Within the Yuan family’s territory, the surrounding nearly four hundred states had been completely overrun by disciples of various forces. Among these, close to the inner region, in a city of one state, Soul Martial Artists from the Jinhua Comrce were looting frantically.
“It’s like seeing a ghost. Wasn’t the Yuan family reputed to be the top clan of the Human Clan? How co they have so little? When compared to our comrce, they’re too poor by far,” complained a Soul Martial Artist from the Jinhua Comrce, who was searching the Yuan family descendants’ storehouse within the city residence, frowning at his companion.
Elsewhere, the companion from the Jinhua Comrce agreed with a nod, “Indeed, it really is unexpected. The Yuan family turned out to be so poor.” After leaving the house, soone just happened to co out from the opposite building.
The clothing and attire of the person suggested that he was a companion from the Jinhua Comrce as well.
Seeing a companion from the comrce erge from the house across the street, the Soul Martial Artist from Jinhua Comrce approached and asked, “How did it go? Did you find anything over there?”
Hearing the question from his companion in front, the Soul Martial Artist from the Jinhua Comrce spat in annoyance on the ground, “Damn unlucky, just so Soul Crystals and a bit of Soul Ore, nothing else. The Yuan family seed grand and opulent all along the way, but who would have thought that their storerooms would be basically empty of Soul Crystals, with none of the resources for cultivation?”
“It’s indeed strange. The Yuan family seed so hurried when they retreated; they didn’t have the ti to move anything. So why are the treasuries in the Yuan family’s cities along the way so poor?”
“Who knows? To think that our Human Clan’s foremost powerful clan would turn out to be utterly destitute,” mocked the group of Soul Martial Artists from the Jinhua Comrce.
“That’s because the Yuan family is not like you beasts!” At that mont, a bitter shout sounded from the side.
Right now, on the roadside, there sat an elderly man soaked in blood, limbs contorted, clearly having been violently broken.
“Our Yuan family’s Soul Crystals, Soul Ores, and Spiritual dicines have all been used in the Northern Territory borders, to resist the constant harassnt and covetous advance of foreign tribes. Every mont, the Yuan family has been exhausting a trendous amount of resources, with countless Yuan family disciples sacrificing their lives to protect the safety of the Human Clan.”
“But you bunch of beasts are so ungrateful. The Yuan family has been the guardian clan for countless years; who would have anticipated that in the end, it would be destroyed by the very people it once protected,” lanted the elderly man, apparently a mber of the Yuan family, who had stayed behind, unwilling to abandon his holand, prepared to resist to the death.
The Soul Martial Artists from the Jinhua Comrce invaded, and his own realm being low, he stood no chance against them.
He was easily overpowered by a Soul Martial Artist from the Jinhua Comrce, his limbs broken and left on the roadside. Now hearing these Jinhua Comrce Soul Martial Artists complain about the Yuan family being poor,
Being a mber of the Yuan family and deeply aware of the reasons, he could no longer contain the grief and anger in his heart and bellowed out.
“You old fool, it’s only because your Yuan family is too foolish,” sneered the Soul Martial Artist from Jinhua Comrce, looking at the elderly Yuan family man. “Who asked your Yuan family to act as the guardian clan? Good people are just there to be slaughtered.”
Gazing at the Jinhua Comrce Soul Martial Artists in front of him, the face of the elderly Yuan family man was filled with sorrow. He activated the Soul Power within his body, his eyes reflecting a hint of madness as he prepared to detonate his Soul Power and die together with this bunch of scoundrels.
But at that instant, the old man suddenly felt sothing fluffy nudge him, causing him to look around, startled.
What he felt was fluffy was none other than a small dog that had been wandering around his ho for a while, now gazing at him with wide eyes.
The old man from the Yuan family rembered the little dog very clearly. It was very quick and agile, and he often fed it. And the little dog would stick close to him.
However, at this mont, the old man from the Yuan family was shocked to find that the little dog was shaking its head at him. As if it realized what he was about to do and was trying to stop him.
The elder didn’t know that the reconnaissance beasts of the Huaxia Empire, despite their low cultivation, were very smart and possessed simple emotions and acute perceptive abilities.
“Old fool, sending you off…” The elder, who was originally looking down at the little dog beside him, suddenly heard the voice of the Jinhua Comrce Soul Martial Artist, causing him to lift his head in alarm.
But what followed left the old man from the Yuan family completely astounded.
The Soul Martial Artist from Jinhua Comrce in front of him clearly ant to kill him with a palm strike. However, the action of raising his hand to strike had abruptly halted.
Out of nowhere, a man wearing a black hood and mask had appeared behind the Jinhua Comrce Soul Martial Artist. The short dagger, swirling with the pale yellow Huaxia Soul Power, had already slit the man’s throat.
Not only that, but the old man also realized that the hooded figure was holding another dagger in his other hand that had pierced through the Soul Martial Artist’s Dantian.
Black smoke curled around them, and two more figures appeared. Before the other two Jinhua Comrce Soul Martial Artists had ti to react, they were killed, and as they fell, their bodies were gently placed on the ground.
The old man from the Yuan family, who thought he was dood, watched the scene in front of him in amazent.
Swoosh!
Just then, a figure wearing a green hood suddenly appeared in front of him, took out a Crystal Bottle, and uncorked it, “Take this. After recovering from your injuries, retreat.”
Before the elder could react, the hooded figure had already uncapped the bottle and poured the red liquid into his mouth.
The bright red dicinal liquid slid down his throat and into his belly. Then, the power of the dicine burst forth instantly.
The elder imdiately felt the vast power of the dicine spreading, and his injuries began to heal at a terrifying rate. In just a mont, his twisted limbs had miraculously returned to normal!
The old man from the Yuan family got up from the ground in shock, looking down at his hands with bewildernt.
At that mont, he saw the man with the hood take out a Token and said in a low voice, “Clearing of Zone South Twenty-Seven complete, found a survivor from the Yuan family. Will escort to the rear now.”
The next mont, the elder from the Yuan family saw a stout man carrying a large shield erge from the nearby shadows, nodding at him “Please follow to a safe place in the rear. This area is about to beco a battlefield. It’s not suitable for you to stay here.”
After hearing this, the old man from the Yuan family blankly followed the stout man towards the north direction of the city.
And when he arrived behind his own house, he was shocked to find that in front of him, seemingly out of nowhere, a densely packed army had appeared.
