Cang Yan rolled his eyes unhappily at Fatty Qianshui’s righteousness and awe-inspiring speech. He was wise at his age, so how could he not have noticed that Fatty’s face had turned white with fear previously?
“Then you can stay behind while the others leave.”
Cang Yan could not be bothered to speak nonsense with the cowardly Fatty. At this moment, time was of the essence; if not, these elites would never be able to leave.
Fatty Qianshui immediately shut up. His mouth gaped but he could not utter a single word.
Yi Yun’s expression turned solemn. At this moment, he was in no mood to ridicule Qianshui. He said worriedly, “Senior Cang Yan, letting us escape, are all of you already prepared to…”
“Pui! Pui! Pui!” Cang Yan interrupted Yi Yun’s speech midway. “What a foul mouth! If one can live, who the f**k would want to die?”
“In all of these years, the Tai Ah Divine City has accumulated a large numbers of relics and strategic reserves. With the sword and saber tombs’ large array, it can still defend for a while. We Sages and human lords cannot retreat. The Tai Ah Divine City is a stronghold that holds off the beast horde. If this city falls, then the beast horde will enter the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. Then there will be nothing to stop the horde as it goes straight ahead.”
“Although I too want to run, I have already lived a long life. So, I still want my face. The Divine Kingdom has allowed me to reach the Sage realm, so repaying them with my remaining few years of lifespan is not a loss on my part! However, all of you are different. Your survival is of the greatest value to the Divine Kingdom!”
When Cang Yan said this, he suddenly let out a hearty laugh, “****. What is yours will always be yours, what is not yours will never be yours no matter how hard you fight for it. Besides, I might not even die!”
As Cang Yan spoke, he found that the words he said sounded like a will. He slapped his mouth, “F**k, why are my words becoming more and more ridiculous. By following the City Lord’s plan, we might even survive! Now, all of you, quickly leave!”
As Cang Yan said this, he and another Yun Long Divine Kingdom Elder began preparing to send the young cultivators away.
Now was really not time to be hypocritical. Although the Divine City had a large protective array, who knew if this large array could withstand the attack from the Long Gui True Spirit?
Staying behind could even cause the Tai Ah Divine City’s City Lord and the Seven Star Pagoda Owner to be distracted. If they had to take time to protect them, then it would not be worth it!
“A short distance teleportation array has been prepared on the first floor of the central divine tower. After you are sent away, there will be an airship waiting for you there!”
Other than Yi Yun, Bai and the other elites, even the other Tai Ah Divine City cultivators were arranged to evacuate. More than 95% of the people like Wen Yu and other first year cultivators had already been evacuated a month ago.
Originally, Yi Yun, Bai and the other elites were left behind in the hope of them being able to behold the scene of a beast horde to gain some experience.
However the developments had far exceeded the original expectations of the Sages from the four large factions. Training in the beast horde was now something deemed impossible.
The teleportation array was right in front of them as the cultivators that were left behind began walking towards it. Luo Huo’er sneaked into the crowd with her maid servant Dong’er, hoping to sneak through the teleportation array with her head lowered.
And at the moment she walked before the teleportation array, she suddenly heard a dry cough.
“Miss Luo, please hold on.”
Eh?
Luo Huo’er jumped with fright as she turned around only to see Cang Yan smiling at her.
“Wh… What?”
Luo Huo’er felt that this old man’s smile was sinister.
“Sorry, the City Lord has especially instructed that Miss Luo is not to leave.”
“Why?” Luo Huo’er was rendered speechless. Everyone could leave except her?
Cang Yan was also helpless. If not as a last resort, would a group of Sages make it so difficult for a young lady?
“Miss Luo, I am also forced to do this. About this… Miss Luo, you should have a way to request help from your family clan, right…?”
