Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 1308: Chapter 1294: Defeat and Despair

Yang Xiao and the others retreated, resting in the capital of the Lion Camel Empire, about a thousand kilometers away.

Elder Ye was severely injured and had already fainted.

Yang Xiao urgently fed Elder Ye two Essence Blood Pills. After more than ten minutes, Elder Ye finally caught his breath, spitting out a few mouthfuls of fresh blood.

"Elder Ye, how are you?"

Elder Ye opened his eyes and looked at Yang Xiao, along with Xinghai, Wanyan Kang, Wanyan He, and others. His eyes dimmed, and he sighed lightly, saying:

"The master from the Dwarf Star just now was at the Saint Level Supreme Realm. I am no match for him, and even if all of you joined forces, you wouldn’t be either. I fear that Witch Star cannot be defended, cough cough..."

Everyone’s hearts sank at his words.

Xinghai said:

"Elder Ye, please rest well and heal. We are discussing ways to counter the enemy. Heaven never bars one’s way. We hold the home advantage on Witch Star and have strength in numbers. We will surely find a way."

Elder Ye smiled bitterly, spat out another mouthful of blood, and slowly said:

"How many planets have we from Witch Star conquered? This has nothing to do with the home advantage; it relies on strong combat power. The combat power of the Dwarf Star is indeed overwhelming, and we are no match for them. If you intend to retreat to Purple Origin Star, do so quickly, or you might not be able to leave later."

"I will not leave. Even if I die in battle on Witch Star, I will never abandon it."

Xinghai said resolutely, then looked at Yang Xiao,

"Yang Xiao, leave Witch Star immediately, along with Wanyan He, escorting the instructors and students of Flying Leopard Academy with you."

Yang Xiao was surprised and said:

"If we’re leaving, Elder Ye and Dean, you should come with us!"

"Hehe, we are already old. Going to Purple Origin Star would only extend our lives by a few years. To be able to fight for Witch Star and die honorably is enough."

Upon hearing the dean’s words, Elder Ye chuckled and said:

"Alright, Xinghai, you have courage. I admire you!"

"Yang Xiao, you are still young, with vast potential for evolution ahead of you and a limitless future. Take the instructors and students of Flying Leopard Academy to Purple Origin Star, establish a new academy there, and spread the Genetic Evolution Method far and wide. I believe that one day, you will grow strong, return to Witch Star, defeat the Dwarf Star people, reclaim our homeland, and protect our people."

Naturally, Yang Xiao wanted to leave. Witch Star was not his home. Although he had many friends there, he couldn’t sacrifice his life for it.

His compatriots and family on Earth awaited him.

However, faced with the tragic situation on Witch Star, he was embarrassed to appear indifferent or gloating.

Yang Xiao pretended to look sad and said firmly:

"Elder Ye, Dean, I am deeply indebted to the people of Witch Star, especially from cultivating at Flying Leopard Academy. I gained permission from the Flying Leopard Emperor to learn the Flying Leopard Divine Skill and later was favored by the Flying Leopard Emperor, who exchanged his life for mine. Such a great grace, I, Yang Xiao, will remember it. I am determined to stand and fight shoulder to shoulder with you, defeat the Dwarf Star people, and never retreat."

Xinghai and others felt great admiration for Yang Xiao upon hearing this.

Elder Ye sighed and said,

"Young man, don’t make unnecessary sacrifices. You are the most gifted in evolution I’ve seen in a century. Your Beast Soul is also immensely powerful. If you cultivate well, you will surely become the overlord of a Star Domain in the future. If you truly wish to help our Witch Star people, you must protect yourself and preserve your life for the future. Otherwise, if you die on Witch Star, everything will be over."

Yang Xiao kept up the pretense of helplessness and said,

"Well then, since Elder Ye and the Dean have said so, I will follow your arrangements. Don’t worry, I will take your families to Purple Origin Star and take good care of them. One day, we will return to fight the Dwarf Star people and drive them off Witch Star."

Dean Xinghai nodded:

"Yang Xiao, first take Elder Ye back to Mingluo City. Wanyan Kang and others will stay here to regroup the army and prepare for battle."

"Dean, maybe everyone could fall back with the army to Mingluo City for now, and coordinate with Thunder God to figure out a solution."

"The Lion Camel Empire is a stronghold here, and we cannot abandon it lightly. I believe that after killing about half of the Dwarf Star people today, they will not dare to attack on a large scale immediately. Once I have organized the troops, I will return to Mingluo City to rendezvous with you."

Yang Xiao nodded, took Elder Ye, and, with Wanyan He and others, returned to Mingluo City through the Transmission Array of the Lion Camel Empire.

At this time, Mingluo City was shrouded in panic.

Even though Mingluo City had the protection of a Super Defense Light Screen, if Witch Star fell entirely, Mingluo City could not be preserved either.

Yang Xiao took Elder Ye to the Genetic Store Headquarters.

Along the way, everyone that Yang Xiao encountered had expressions of terror and moved hurriedly.

The news of the Dwarf Star people sending a Saint Level Supreme leader to invade had already spread throughout Mingluo City.

For the people of Witch Star, a Saint Level Supreme was still a thing of legend.

Yang Xiao and the others entered the large courtyard inside the headquarters of the Genetic Store at the foot of Mingluo Mountain. They were immediately escorted by guards to the inner area.

Here, Yang Xiao saw Thunder God lying on the ground, covered in blood, barely alive.

Long Jing was kneeling by Thunder God’s side, tears streaming down her face.

The Genetic Store’s Second Elder, Third Elder, and others were also lying on chairs, severely injured.

Upon seeing Yang Xiao carrying Elder Ye in, everyone turned a questioning gaze toward them.

A guard brought over a reclining chair, and Yang Xiao placed Elder Ye on it.

Elder Ye, still in good spirits, looked at Thunder God on the ground and smiled:

"Thunder God, are you dead yet?"

Thunder God did not respond.

White Elephant Emperor said:

"Elder Ye, we suffered an attack from the Dwarf Star leader. The person is terrifying, at the Saint Level Supreme Realm. Thunder God only lasted three moves against them and was knocked out, still not awakened."

The Second Elder of the Genetic Store sighed deeply:

"The leader is indeed formidable. We ganged up on him, to no avail. Eighth Elder and Ninth Elder were killed, and we barely escaped with our lives. Alas!"

As the Second Elder sighed, the hall was filled with a sad atmosphere, silent as death.

Elder Ye lightly tapped the armrest of the reclining chair, sighing:

"It seems our Witch Star cannot escape the slaughter of the Dwarf Star people this time. Alas, it’s a pity that since the battle five hundred years ago, no one on Witch Star has broken through to Saint Level Supreme. Alas!"

In the hall, scores of Emperor Level Transcendent Experts and numerous kings of the empire were at a loss.

After a while, the Second Elder said:

"Things are much more serious than we imagined. The situation as it is, we can only adopt a defensive strategy and urgently relocate some people to Purple Origin Star. Elder Ye, what do you think?"

Elder Ye nodded in agreement.

When relocation was mentioned, everyone’s eyes turned to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao’s Purple Origin Star had now become everyone’s last hope for escape. None wished to remain on Witch Star to be massacred by the Dwarf Star people.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Yang Xiao cleared his throat and said:

"Actually, things are not as severe as you all think. We can still turn the tide."

Everyone felt a shock in their hearts, looking at Yang Xiao.

The Second Elder said excitedly:

"Yang Xiao, if you have a good idea, quickly share it with everyone."
