"Good people? What's the use of good people? Didn't they also let my Sand City suffer a devastating blow!" City Lord Ma sighed deeply as he spoke!
Whether they are good or bad, if they can restore Sand City to its original state, what's wrong with falling into the devil's path?
Ye Tianfan looked at City Lord Ma in such a despondent state, feeling a bit sympathetic, so he spoke up: "When was your Sand City established?"
Upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words, City Lord Ma seed to regain so of his spirits, and then he said to Ye Tianfan: "My Sand City was established one hundred and twenty-seven years ago!"
"One hundred and twenty-seven years ago, how many generations of city lords have there been?" Ye Tianfan asked!
"There have been four generations of city lords. I am the fourth generation city lord of Sand City!" City Lord Ma replied!
"Then what was Sand City like before it was established?" Ye Tianfan continued to ask!
"Before Sand City was established?" City Lord Ma was taken aback by Ye Tianfan's question, then he continued, "Before Sand City was founded, it was composed of seven neighboring villages. At that ti, the seven village chiefs held a eting and decided to rge the seven neighboring villages into one town."
"Seven villages rged together to beco the current Sand City. So why don't you follow in your ancestors' footsteps? Lead these few dozen people, settle next to a village, and let them grow into a village, then rge with a few more villages, and start a new Sand City again?" Ye Tianfan suggested!
When City Lord Ma heard Ye Tianfan's words, he was excited at first, but then he rembered that he had turned a massive Sand City with tens of thousands of people into a small village with only a few dozen people, and he couldn't feel excited anymore!
Seeing City Lord Ma's excitent turn into despondency again, Ye Tianfan couldn't help but get a bit angry, and then said: "I ask you, if you continue to be despondent like this, what will happen to your few dozen citizens?"
City Lord Ma, upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words, turned his head to look at the few dozen people behind him and fell silent.
At this mont, City Lord Ma also did not know what to do, after all, it's not just one or two, it's dozens of people!
Yet at this mont, City Lord Ma felt really tired, and actually, he had already made up his mind from the beginning to return to Sand City after rescuing all these people, and even if he was eroded, he would still coexist with all the people of Sand City. After all, he was their cornerstone, and if he were no longer there, what would they do!
But City Lord Ma hesitated when he saw the bewildered eyes of these few dozen people, for these dozens of people had not been eroded. After rescuing them, he still had to lead them in life, as they also needed a cornerstone!
But he was just one person. He considered having his child beco the cornerstone for these dozens of people, but when City Lord Ma saw the fear and confusion in his family's eyes, he gave up on letting his child be their cornerstone. After all, his child was still in fear, not to ntion being the cornerstone for these people; if he was not by her side, she might be terrified beyond belief.
However, at this mont, City Lord Ma indeed felt extrely tired, yet he couldn't just abandon these dozens of people and the entire city waiting for him.
Ye Tianfan suddenly saw that glimr of death intent in City Lord Ma's eyes and, after thinking for a bit, understood what City Lord Ma was thinking!
Under normal circumstances, if an ordinary person were to encounter such a situation and not collapse, it would already be comndable. However, City Lord Ma cannot die, not just because of the sanctity of life, but also because he has to lead these dozens of people to start a new life. If City Lord Ma were to die, these dozens of people would lose their cornerstone, and it would take a long ti for them to get back on track!
"You want to die?" Ye Tianfan whispered, not intending to let those behind him hear, as they would have to comfort him if they heard!
Although City Lord Ma heard Ye Tianfan whispering, he instinctively checked the people behind him to see if they had heard!
"Don't worry, I spoke quietly, they can't hear!" Ye Tianfan said with a smile!
Seeing the people behind not reacting, City Lord Ma breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to Ye Tianfan, whispering: "I won't hide it from you, Immortal. I did have this thought; my initial plan was to rescue these dozens of people and then return to Sand City to coexist with my already eroded citizens."
After hearing City Lord Ma's words, Ye Tianfan chuckled and then said: "It's a good idea, but unfortunately, you would die in a very short ti after returning!"
City Lord Ma was taken aback by Ye Tianfan's words and then asked, puzzled: "Why?"
"Because after the situation is resolved, the Demon Beast will have died by then, and when you return, the Evil Force will directly lead to your death!" Ye Tianfan explained, seeing that City Lord Ma had more to say, he continued: "I know what you want to say, you want to say that those people were eroded to their bones yet didn't die, why would you die in a very short ti!"
City Lord Ma nodded at Ye Tianfan's words, that was exactly what he ant.
"You have to understand, other people survived after being eroded because they were controlled and eroded by the Red Moon Demon Pig. When the situation is resolved, it ans those Evil Forces will no longer be controlled and will revert to their original state, and ordinary people will die upon contact!" Ye Tianfan explained!
City Lord Ma sighed deeply upon hearing this, realizing that it would be impossible to live and die with the city's people. He could only lead these dozens of people to start from scratch. What his ancestors accomplished, he could do as well.
Thinking of this, hope erged in City Lord Ma's eyes!
Seeing this hope, Ye Tianfan nodded quietly and then said: "When I leave, I will provide you with enough food for these dozens of people to last half a year, so you don't have to worry too much!"
City Lord Ma gratefully nodded and was about to kneel to express his gratitude, but Ye Tianfan stopped him: "I don't do this ceremony. Just focus on developnt and strive so that the next ti I et you, you have already built a large Sand City!"
City Lord Ma nodded, knowing that the Immortal's lifespan is long, and the next ti they et, it might be decades later. He aid to rebuild a new Sand City by then!
