Chapter 2630: Chapter 539:
A group of mortals watched in amazement as their belongings were all stored inside the small ring one by one.
"Could this be the legendary Heaven and Earth Ring!"
"It’s truly astonishing, such a small ring, yet it can hold so many things."
"I never imagined that one day, we could actually use an Immortal’s treasure."
After placing the villagers on the flying boat, Cao Zhen quickly flew towards the next village with the boat.
Although their flying boat was already big enough, it still couldn’t accommodate all the people from so many villages. Cao Zhen and Ju E had to separate and steer two flying boats. Cao Zhen flew towards a farther destination, in order to save time, looking for more human villages or big cities.
One of the flying boats, after being filled with the mortals of the Human Clan, was steered by Immortal Lord Yao Tu, heading towards the Eastern Province. There, someone would naturally receive Immortal Lord Yao Tu, as for why it wasn’t someone else.
Ju E had to be with Immortal Lord Bai Bian; after all, she is the princess of the Fox Monster Clan and the future Clan Leader — nothing must happen to her.
As for Immortal Lord Lin Feng, he was too cold and wasn’t suitable. Cao Zhen was of the Human Clan; only his presence would reassure his kind.
Immortal Lord Yao Tu steered the flying boat, flying all the way towards the Eastern Province. Although steering the flying boat might be slower than flying on her own, it was faster than many True Immortals using their treasures to fly.
Inside the flying boat, the mortals whispered about their future lives. Though they knew the female Cultivator in front of them was taking them to the Eastern Province, after all, she wasn’t of the Human Clan, which made them anxious, fearing that speaking too loudly might anger her.
Gradually, however, their voices grew louder.
As more people began to speak, the overall volume increased.
"Do you think when we reach the Eastern Province, we’ll all be allocated to the same place?"
"We should all be assigned to the same place."
"I remember that Immortal said she could build us a city, or build us a village. Which would you choose? Do you want to live in the city or in a village?"
"Isn’t it obvious? Of course, living in a city! Don’t you want to live in the city?"
"Yes, definitely living in the city!"
"Living in a city isn’t good," an elder sighed, "I ask you, if you live in the city, where will you farm? You’ll need to travel a long way! Besides, with so many people and vendors in the city, what if you can’t move through the crowd? We might delay our farming."
"Either way, if I can live in the city, I will. I’ve never lived in a city before!"
"By the way, I wonder if we’ll be shunned by the people of the Eastern Province after we arrive. And now, many should have entered the Central Continent to take us to the Eastern Province. I wonder if, once we enter, we’ll belong to the Cultivator who took us."
"When you put it like that, it’s not impossible."
"By the way, we still don’t know the name of that Cultivator."
"Yes, none of us asked."
"Do you think that lady Immortal would know?"
"Ask her? That lady Immortal must be of the Demon Clan. It’s already kind enough that she’s taking us. What if she gets angry and throws us all out?"
Although curious, no one dared to speak to the female Cultivator steering the flying boat.
Suddenly, at the front of the crowd, a tiger-headed boy, who seemed to be about ten years old, suddenly ran out towards the female Cultivator steering the boat.
Behind the boy, a man and a woman were startled by the boy’s actions, quickly shouting, "Come back!"
Their shout drew many people’s attention to the boy.
The boy, however, ignored his parents, ran straight to Immortal Lord Yao Tu, stood there seriously, and asked, "Pretty sister, my mom and dad don’t know the name of the Immortal who saved us. Do you know him? Can you tell us his name? Which Great Teaching’s disciple is he?"
Immortal Lord Yao Tu, in the Golden Immortal Realm, didn’t need much effort to steer a flying boat. She turned her head, smiled at the boy, and said, "The one who saved you is named Cao Zhen, the Sect Hierarch of the Hundred Peaks Sect in the Eastern Province."
Though her voice wasn’t loud, it clearly reached everyone’s ears.
Seeing this, the boy’s parents breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, this female demon wasn’t angry and even answered their son’s question.
The boy nodded firmly, "So it’s the Hundred Peaks Sect. I will remember. When I go back, I must join the Hundred Peaks Sect."
As he spoke, the surrounding murmurs rose again.
"Sect Hierarch?"
"Turns out he’s a Sect Hierarch of a Great Teaching!"
"A Sect Hierarch personally came to save us!"
"Yes, it’s really unexpected."
The boy, hearing the voices coming from the back, curiously asked, "He’s the Sect Hierarch, does that mean he’s very powerful?"
Immortal Lord Yao Tu nodded confidently, "Of course, very powerful." Although she hadn’t seen Cao Zhen in action, she had heard many legends about him. Although Cao Zhen had not yet reached the Peak True Immortal Realm, within the True Immortal Realm, few cultivators could be his match. After all, Cao Zhen had twice used terrifying Secret Techniques capable of destroying even Half-step Golden Immortals.
