Chapter 1063: Chapter 132: What Is the Human Clan? (Part 2)
When Master Liu ntioned his plan to send them back first, Yan Jiantong was startled at first, but soon realized his intentions. He imdiately replied:
“Alright! But Master Liu, you must be careful as well. We will wait for you at Tianyuan Sect. Once you’ve handled matters here, we will co back to help you organize the Immortal Fate Conference.”
Master Liu nodded, instructing them to quickly pack their belongings, so he could take them away.
Li Mu seed a bit confused and asked:
“Huh? Are we leaving now? Isn’t the Immortal Fate Conference happening anymore?”
Yan Jiantong flicked his forehead playfully, telling him not to stand there foolishly asking questions and urged him to pack his luggage quickly.
Fortunately, the storm clouds of the Heavenly Tribulation were still gathering, giving them ti to evacuate.
Pei Laoliu absorbed a piece of Spirit Stone to replenish his Dark Energy, then controlled his Flying Sword to lead the three of them away.
As for Da Hei and Little White, it was simpler; he only needed to return to Tianyuan Mountain to summon them again.
The mont the Heavenly Tribulation appeared, these two little creatures had already scurried under the bed for cover.
Although they were Spiritual Beasts, they were essentially considered part of the Demon Race, making their senses keener and fears greater regarding the Heavenly Tribulation.
In this aspect, Spiritual Beasts and Demon Beasts shared a lot in common.
However, despite their similarities in the early stages, differences between Spiritual Beasts and Demon Beasts beca evident later on.
This was mainly because their cultivation thods were different.
Demon Beasts often rely on their instincts to cultivate independently, either by absorbing the essence of the Sun and Moon to enhance their cultivation, or by devouring the flesh and blood of other life forms to nourish themselves.
However, Spiritual Beasts are different.
Once tad by cultivators, Spiritual Beasts usually follow their cultivators to learn unique spells and techniques.
Similar to the spells and ntal thods used by human cultivators, these are cultivation techniques specifically designed for Spiritual Beasts by their cultivators.
Within Tianyuan Sect, there exist such specialized magic doors crafted for the cultivation of Spiritual Beasts.
Thus, over ti, the differences between Spiritual Beasts and Demon Beasts beco apparent.
One maintains composure and calm True Yuan; the other is primal and savage.
Both have their own strengths, and it’s not easy to make a definitive judgnt about which is superior.
Originally, Master Liu thought of taking these two little fellows along, considering they might aid him at critical monts.
But later on, he abandoned the idea, realizing they still lacked the strength to fly.
If he had to flee from an overwhelming threat, they would certainly hinder his escape, so he decided not to bring them along for now.
Thus, all four left the house just that morning and surprisingly returned before nightfall, leaving Ni Yang sowhat confused.
After hearing about their recent ordeal, the azure dragon couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“So that’s what happened, Xiao Liu, you’re really amusing, hahaha!”
“Greedy Dragon, what’s so funny!”
“Hahaha, in the morning, you talked about hosting the Immortal Fate Conference to revitalize the Tianyuan Sect, but by the afternoon, you were scared back by a Little Demon in the Transformation Stage. Isn’t that funny?”
Pei Laoliu’s face turned dark upon hearing this and he decided to ignore it.
Ni Yang restrained his laughter and said:
“But considering your strength, facing such a little fellow indeed would be a challenge, yet you thought of going back, truly strange.”
“I’ve lived for thousands of years, yet I still don’t understand you humans, why you cherish the lives of your fellow beings so much. Like last ti on Water Blue Star, that young man went against a Golden Immortal for the sake of the city’s people…”
“And now, you too, why risk your life to save those people when they have nothing to do with you? As for the immortals in the Immortal Palace, I haven’t seen anything like that from them…”
“Could it be that after ascending, your humans’ personalities and habits change too? Really strange, strange indeed.”
Ni Yang expressed his doubts, a question that had puzzled him for a long ti.
Pei Laoliu paused upon hearing this, then lingered in place for a long ti before sighing:
“The Demon Race… the Immortal Clan… haha, I don’t know the answer to this question either… perhaps, those who choose this way are human…”
After speaking, he flew away without looking back, leaving Ni Yang behind.
“Tch… so mysterious…”
Ni Yang pondered for a while but couldn’t find the answer. Feeling impatient, he grumbled softly and then retracted into Jade Spirit Lake.
…
anwhile, in Han Yue City.
The celestial anomaly at the city center had long since alard the entire city’s residents.
Those living on the outskirts fared a bit better, but residents living directly under the storm clouds were anything but calm.
With such an enormous, threatening thundercloud gathering overhead, brimming with endless thunder and lightning, as if ready to strike at any mont, who could possibly remain calm?
The fear of lightning is instinctive in living beings, and faced with such a crisis, the populace below was increasingly panicked.
People scrambled under their beds, those with cellars took refuge there, and so, disregarding the external dangers, burst out of their hos, desperate to escape the area.
What they didn’t know, however, is that while the Heavenly Tribulation might cover a vast area, its power is highly focused.
The entire force will be directed at the Tribulation Crossing, rarely affecting a wide area.
This was similar to when the Purple Cloud Divine Sword crossed the tribulation on Thunder Mountain.
Back then, the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder covered hundreds of kiloters in diater, but the resulting damage was confined to Thunder Mountain’s peak.
Hence, their concerns were actually unnecessary; the skyborne Heavenly Tribulation wouldn’t strike them.
Of course, this is under normal circumstances.
If soone interferes to help the Tribulation Crossing during the process, the Heavenly Tribulation will target and bombard them as well.
Moreover, such action would increase the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, essentially equating to two individuals undergoing a tribulation together.
This is why, throughout history, cultivators or monsters facing a Heavenly Tribulation can only rely on their own strength to resist.
At this mont in Han Yue City, it wasn’t just the humans stirring; many monsters sleeping in the city had also turned their attention to the Heavenly Tribulation in the sky.
“Roar!!”
A large-sized striped tiger leaped onto a rooftop, its gaze filled with apprehension and reluctance as it looked into the distance. Then it leaped towards the City Lord Mansion.
Elsewhere in the city, several human-faced spiders peeked out from a residential building.
Their dozens of eyes rolled rapidly as they communicated through shrill chirps, then, like the tiger demon, quickly rushed towards that side.
Similar scenes unfolded in various corners of Han Yue City, with nurous hidden monsters revealing themselves, their numbers no fewer than thirty.
If Master Liu witnessed these scenes, he would likely be shocked.
Such a vast Han Yue City was concealing so many monsters.
No wonder the city had beco like this; it had turned into their buffet.
Now, these monsters erged from their hiding spots, their target the city center, the City Lord Mansion, where the Heavenly Tribulation resided.
At this mont, the most anxious people, other than those directly involved, were naturally the servants and maids of the City Lord Mansion.
And the City Guard Army stationed there was no different.
No sign of their usual disciplined deanor, each one of them wished to escape this death trap instantly.
Ye Lin anxiously stood in front of the backyard gate, waiting for news from his subordinates.
Just now, a frightfully terrifying scream emanated from the courtyard, echoing throughout the City Lord Mansion, sothing he naturally heard.
Having experienced such situations before, Ye Lin imdiately associated it with those monsters.
Even more distressing to him was the City Lord who vanished after entering, never to be seen again…
This situation left him at a loss for what to do.
