Chapter 462 Despair Before the War

Some people present exclaimed in surprise, while others looked completely lost.

It seemed that… not everyone knew who Lord Lan was.

But on second thought, Fang Yue understood.

In reality, most of the people in Guyue Village, perhaps all of them, had never even left Guyue Village, so naturally, they wouldn't understand the situation in Manshui Village.

And Lord Lan was similar to Lord Han in Manshui Village, so even fewer people would know about him.

Fang Yue used Lord Han as a simple analogy, and the villagers naturally understood.

Then, everyone revealed excited expressions, "If Lord Lan is as strong as Lord Han, wouldn't that mean he can stop the Wuyu tribe!"

Stop…

What optimistic thinking.

Fang Yue sighed. Even Lord Han himself wasn't very confident about stopping the Wuyu tribe, so the same was probably true for Lord Lan.

But why hadn't he taken action when he had clearly agreed to help?

Fang Yue felt a bit puzzled. After explaining the situation to Lin Ling and Hua Wuye, Fang Yue prepared to ask Lord Han to come out of seclusion.

"Xiao Yue, wait!"

Just as Fang Yue was about to leave, Hua Wuye suddenly reached out to stop him.

"What's wrong?"

"…You just said that the Wuyu tribe came after destroying Mo Village… then, then the Hua family in Mo Village…"

"…"

Fang Yue was silent. After a long while, he sighed, patted her shoulder, said nothing, and walked past her.

This unspoken silence said everything.

Hua Wuye suddenly slumped down, greatly shocked.

Lin Ling quickly came to her side, "It's okay, it's still just a rumor. It hasn't been confirmed that Hua Qiuqiu and the others are really dead."

"…Yeah…Yeah…"

Hua Wuye gently rested her head on Lin Ling's stiff shoulder, tears welling up in her eyes, clutching the small iron box that Hua Qiuqiu had given her.

…

Han Manor. After entering the manor, Fang Yue went straight to the secret chamber.

"Lord Han!"

Before his eyes, everything blurred, and he was already in the secluded secret chamber.

"Lord Han, the Wuyu tribe is here."

Before Lord Han could speak, Fang Yue said in a deep voice.

"So fast?"

Lord Han was taken aback, then frowned slightly.

He traced the Bing Shuang (Ice Frost) letter he had used before, but this time, the letter made of ice frost didn't shatter.

Lord Han was stunned, his expression darkening.

"Something happened to Lan. They should have already taken action."

Manshui Village… had already taken action?

In other words, the black cloud that was drifting over now had already been weakened by Lord Lan!

Fang Yue was shocked.

Adding in the battle in Mo Village, just how powerful was the Wuyu tribe led by Ma Ling'er!

"Lord Han, come out of seclusion! Guyue Village needs you. We need you!"

Lord Han didn't say anything, he simply took out the wooden sword he had when he first met Fang Yue, and then before their eyes everything blurred again, and they were back in Han Manor.

Just then, Fang Yue suddenly asked, "Lord Han, how many people can your secret chamber hold, and is it safe?"

"I know what you're thinking, but it's useless. My secret chamber is built on the foundation of Han Manor. Once Han Manor is destroyed, the secret chamber will no longer be concealed, and it won't be able to protect the people inside."

Fang Yue sighed. The situation was becoming dire, but he didn't have any good ways to deal with it, and could only brace himself and face it head-on.

Together with Lord Han, they went out the door, heading towards the direction of the guard team.

The people on the road, seeing Lord Han coming out of seclusion, all cheered excitedly, as if they had seen light in the midst of despair. The frightening black cloud didn't seem so scary anymore.

But if they knew that even Lord Han wasn't confident in dealing with the black cloud, they would probably fall to the other extreme.

With Lord Han sitting in the guard post, the villagers who had been gathered together in a chaotic mess gradually dispersed.

Although they already knew the general situation from Lin Ling and the others, they were reassured by their great faith in Lord Han, which stabilized the situation.

But the problem hadn't been solved.

"Gather all the people who can fight, and collect supplies, and arrange escape routes…"

One thing after another was arranged, and the people of Guyue Village became busy.

Although running away was useless, if it really came to the point where they couldn't stop it no matter what, then naturally they would scatter and run, hoping that some would survive.

A day quickly passed in the midst of these arrangements.

Night fell, and Fang Yue sat on the edge of the earth core, striking a flint.

Four-fifths of the fire shard fixed on the Condensed Ring had been completed, with only the final step remaining.

After receiving special training from Lord Han, Fang Yue's attainment in this area had become stronger and stronger. Even Lord Han praised Fang Yue's good comprehension.

Good comprehension? What Fang Yue thought of was naturally his pitiful 1 point of comprehension, and he couldn't help but feel self-deprecating.

It wasn't that he had good comprehension, but rather that Lord Han was willing to invest a lot in teaching him.

He learned from Lin Ling that it was extremely difficult to guide a junior's inner Qi operation like Lord Han did. The inner strength manipulation skills it contained could be described as profound and unpredictable.

And under normal circumstances, with Fang Yue's current strength, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to have such an expert personally teaching him.

For example, Ni Dongmei didn't have this ability.

And it was impossible for her to expend so much energy to help Fang Yue gradually master the Condensed Ring.

Looking up at the night sky, Fang Yue felt the warmth of the earth core.

He had dealt with the earth core when he first entered Guyue Village.

Now, he had run to Mo Village for the earth core, and finally brought back materials to repair it.

But… there was no need to repair the earth core.

Only by getting through this calamity of the Wuyu tribe first would the Guyue Village earth core restoration plan have any meaning.

"Brother Yue."

In the darkness, a voice suddenly sounded.

Fang Yue focused his eyes and saw that it was the Blood Hunter, who had walked over from the front street without bringing a human soul torch.

"What is it?"

"…Tell me the truth, do we have a chance of winning against the Wuyu tribe?"

"…The chances are slim."

"Sigh, I knew it. Even a village as powerful as Mo Village was destroyed. Our Guyue Village…"

The Blood Hunter sighed again. He thought of the giant-headed bloodhound puppy at home.

He had originally planned to return to the village and train it well, spending the rest of his peaceful life with his crippled body.

But instead, he had encountered this kind of thing.

Fang Yue looked at the change in the Blood Hunter's expression and suddenly said, "Do you want to escape the village?"

The Blood Hunter was stunned, and shook his head slightly, "I will live and die with the village."

"Then get some rest. The black cloud of the Wuyu tribe will arrive as early as noon tomorrow, and as late as tomorrow evening."

"Okay." After the Blood Hunter responded, he suddenly hesitated, and after a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Yue, if I die, I hope you can take care of my giant-headed bloodhound puppy."

"…Okay."

Seeing that Fang Yue had agreed to his promise, the Blood Hunter breathed a sigh of relief and took his leave.

The earth core square returned to silence.

*Pa ta.*

Suddenly, flames burst into life.

The Condensed Ring that Fang Yue had worked so hard on had finally fixed the fire knife form for the first time!
