Chapter 2626: Chapter 538:
At the entrance of the village, one elderly after another raised their heads, looking up, knowing that this indicated a cultivator was flying over.
Previously, there had been cultivators passing by, making this sound too.
But the next moment, their eyes suddenly widened.
Five figures descended from the void, landing directly in the center of their village.
"Not good, those alien races are here again!"
"Trouble’s brewing!"
"They’ve found our village now!"
At the village entrance, the faces of the elderly changed drastically, some showing fear, some even full of despair.
They realized they lived on the territory of the Evil Clan, known to be the most cruel among all clans.
They had heard many stories of humans being slaughtered by these Evil Clan members.
Within a hundred miles around them, there was no city, except the one large city that had been slaughtered by the Evil Clan!
A family of three brothers from the Liu family in their camp had escaped from that large city.
They had considered moving to another place, but north was a rushing river, and east and south were blocked by high mountains. The only way out was to the west, but west was also Evil Clan territory.
They wanted to move but couldn’t, so they had to continue living here.
Fortunately, maybe due to their good luck, or perhaps this place was too remote, the Evil Clan had never come to slaughter them, but today, unexpectedly, a cultivator descended directly into the middle of their village.
"The Evil Clan is here. No, I need to go home and tell my children, let them take Sun Zi and run quickly!"
"Quick, go home and tell them!"
"If we run now, it might still be in time, hurry back!"
The elderly, one after another, anxiously started running, but none were running outside the village; instead, they were heading towards their own homes.
They were all getting on in years, so what if they ran out? They needed to inform their family at home that the Evil Clan was coming, urging them to flee swiftly.
But as they took a few more steps and saw the figures standing in the center of the village, they froze in place.
What they saw wasn’t the Evil Clan at all, but humans like them!
At this sight, their initial panic suddenly eased.
"They’re our fellow humans."
"Five human immortals."
"Wait, not five humans. Look closely, those women, they’re beautiful, but they don’t seem to be human!"
"It really seems they aren’t human. That woman’s ears are so long, she must be from the Demon Clan!"
"And that woman there, she has lots of horns on her head, she must be from the Prison Clan."
Ju E and Immortal Lord Bai Bian, as part of the Fox Monster Clan, could hide their tails, making them appear human, but Rabbit Demon Immortal Monarch and Immortal Lord Lin Feng couldn’t.
At this time, villagers from every household, upon hearing the commotion, came out in a rush. Seeing humans gathering with the Prison Clan and the Demon Clan, one by one, they were unsure of what to make of it.
Cao Zhen looked at the crowd, cupped his hands, and said loudly, "Everyone, I am a cultivator from the Eastern Province. We are sorry for not bringing you back sooner. You’ve endured hardship over the years.
Now, the Four Continents have stabilized, and we have specifically come to bring you back. Everyone, pack up, and follow me. We will arrange a place for you in the Eastern Province, build a city for you, and if you don’t like living in a city, we’ll build a village for you, with houses and farmland. Come back with us, to the Eastern Province!"
The villagers, upon suddenly hearing this lone male immortal saying he wanted to take them to the Eastern Province, were momentarily dumbstruck.
In a daze, they suddenly came to their senses, and the place erupted into a cacophony of voices.
"To the Eastern Province?"
"Leave here?"
"Build us a city, a village, even houses and land!"
"Is this real? Are we really leaving?"
Many people’s eyes instantly brimmed with tears.
"Heaven has witnessed our plight, truly heaven has seen it!"
"If we go to the Eastern Province, there won’t be any more Evil Clans coming to slaughter us, right?"
Cao Zhen nodded firmly and said, "I guarantee, there will be no more alien races to slaughter you. Come back, return to our Human Clan’s territory!
Everyone, we also need to take more humans away. The sooner we move, the more fellow humans we can bring along with us. So don’t delay, start preparing quickly. Take as little as you need, then come with me to the Eastern Province."
With his words, many villagers swiftly returned to their homes to start preparing, but many others stood outside in a daze, not sure if they didn’t want to leave or if they hadn’t come to terms with the sudden departure.
All of a sudden, an old elder among the crowd raised his cane, striking the ground heavily, and shouted at the unmoving crowd, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and prepare, unless you don’t want to go to the Eastern Province, and prefer to stay here worrying about living day by day, not knowing when Evil Clan cultivators might slaughter our entire village?"
"Village chief..."
"It’s not that we don’t want to leave, but our Zhuang family hasn’t harvested yet!"
