What should be destroyed will eventually be destroyed.” The Shepherd Boy faintly said, “If you and your kind will leave this place, you may still survive. I appreciate you and you should not be fated to die here.”
“It is impossible for me to leave… I cannot dodge what is mine.” The middle-aged scholar unsheathed his saber. The cold beam of the four-foot long saber seemed to freeze even the sunlight.
On the Divine City’s walls, the Seven Star Pagoda Owner also let out a long sigh as he took out a spear from his interspatial ring.
Everyone could feel the difficulty of the upcoming battle. This was a battle to the death. It was fated that many of them would die here!
“Yi Yun, I’m taking you away!”
At the moment when swords were drawn and bows were strung, Cang Yan’s Yuan Qi transmission entered Yi Yun’s ears.
“What?” Yi Yun was shocked. And at this moment, Cang Yan’s hand had already grabbed Yi Yun’s shoulder. It was not only Yi Yun. Yao Dao, Yang Qian, the Yun Long Divine Kingdom’s Bai, Feng Lin, Qianshui and company all had law-enforcers and Elders prepared to lead them away.
“We… are not fighting?”
Fatty Qianshui trembled as he spoke. His voice clearly shook. He was after all young, how could he have ever experienced a scene such as this?
Against the Shepherd Boy and the humongous Long Gui, it would be a lie if Fatty said that he was not afraid. This level of existence could easily turn him into ash with the mere flick of its hand!
Fatty was now in a dilemma.
On one hand, he did not wish to stay in the Tai Ah Divine City. If he could run away with his foot lubricated, that would be the best.
However, he just found it too shameful to run away in the face of danger. After all, there were still plenty of people left defending the city!
“You are just sending yourselves to your graves by participating in the battle. It is completely meaningless. The City Lord had previously instructed me to send all of you out of here in the event that the Tai Ah Divine City cannot be secured!”
No matter which faction it was, their younger generations were their future. They could not be sacrificed for nothing.
If their countries were to collapse, then their countries might still have a chance to reconstruct in the future when the younger generation grew up.
Yi Yun, Bai and Feng Lin were silent. Everyone was always in a balance between id and super-ego. They did not wish to escape in the face of danger, but they knew that it was meaningless to stay behind and die.
Only Fatty Qianshui seemed to be fearless. He gritted his teeth, “We are warriors! How can we leave our seniors here to fight while we leave!?”
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.
