Chapter 1199 Live On
Everyone's faces changed drastically!
The Prefect of Yaodu Prefecture had come once before, but he hadn't unleashed such power!
What was he planning to do now?
He was actually going to make a move!
All the cultivators at the Core Condensation realm in the Land of Hope immediately appeared.
Unlike last time, this arrival meant trouble!
Chen Shu activated the formation, his gaze coldly fixed on the Prefect of Yaodu Prefecture.
At the same time, seeing that Chen Yang had not appeared, he crushed the mental projection left by Chen Yang.
Chen Yang naturally saw the movements of the Prefect of Yaodu Prefecture, but he had to stay put to conceal the heavenly secrets.
Otherwise, if Jiang Taotian's breakthrough was exposed, the Prefect of Yaodu Prefecture would definitely come to disrupt it.
The Prefect of Yaodu Prefecture looked at all the martial artists in the Land of Hope and said coldly, "Those who are not of the human race, leave here immediately, or suffer the consequences."
The Prefect of Yaodu Prefecture was unwilling to kill people from other factions, mainly because it was too troublesome and might lead to conflict with Yaodu Prefecture.
Just then, Jin Chifeng stomped his claw and appeared directly in front of the Prefect of Yaodu Prefecture.
Jin Chifeng was not afraid of the Prefect of Yaodu Prefecture at all, and said coldly, "The peak Core Condensation realm cultivators are forbidden to act. Does your Yaodu Prefecture intend to break this rule?"
But as soon as Jin Chifeng finished speaking, his body suddenly tightened, and a powerful spiritual energy enveloped him.
The Prefect of Yaodu Prefecture flicked his hand, directly throwing Jin Chifeng outside the ancient battlefield.
Dazed, Jin Chifeng heard the voice of the Prefect of Yaodu Prefecture reverberate in his ears: "For the sake of your race, I'll spare your life. If you dare to talk back again, you will die!"
"I don't need to use the power of the peak Core Condensation realm to kill you!"
Hearing this, Jin Chifeng trembled.
Indeed! As long as it wasn't a peak Core Condensation realm cultivator facing another peak Core Condensation realm cultivator, the other party wasn't worried at all!
Jin Chifeng thought about entering the Land of Hope, as all his belongings were there.
The position of academy patron purchased with spirit stones, his small courtyard, and furniture!
That was his life's savings accumulated over a hundred years!
But at this moment, the formation of the Land of Hope had blocked him out!
Chen Shu looked at the academy in the Land of Hope and immediately made a decision: "Everyone who is not of the human race, leave the ancient battlefield immediately!"
Whether they were humans from the human race or humans from the mortal realm, they all breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
This was a matter for their human race, and involving too many others would be a burden to them.
However, facing the powerful enemy, many students stepped forward.
"I don't want to leave. The only reason I have the chance to cultivate in this life is because of Hope Academy. Although I'm not of the human race, I have feelings for this place!"
This statement immediately resonated with many people.
These people were not strong, the strongest among them had just entered the Foundation Establishment realm.
But they had long had a strong sense of belonging.
The Foundation Establishment realm cultivators of the human race, who had originally intended to flee, were now filled with shame and indignation upon hearing this.
How could these people, who were not of the human race, be like this? As a dignified man, he still harbored thoughts of fleeing.
However, facing these words, Chen Shu sternly said, "Let them go! You too!"
Chen Shu understood that what had been decided back then would likely be put into action today.
And his most important task was to delay the Prefect of Yaodu Prefecture for as long as possible before he died.
Ananda looked at everything unfolding before him, his eyes dimming slightly.
He was now responsible for many matters in the Land of Hope and was no longer just a merchant.
If the Land of Hope could continue to exist, he might one day become the head of a chamber of commerce that spanned the entire mortal realm.
But all of this had been shattered.
Ananda handed the spirit stones he had accumulated to Bamu Ge beside him and said, "Go to the port and find Old Mi, leave here, and survive!"
"Take these apprentices with you!"
Bamu Ge's eyes widened: "Aren't you coming with me?"
The two had some prior interaction, and since coming to the Land of Hope, they had been working for Chen Yang.
"Where would I go? My livelihood is all here. If I leave, it's meaningless."
"You are different. Your strength has grown rapidly recently. With these spirit stones, you might be able to break through to the Core Condensation realm. Then, the task of inheriting my chamber of commerce will fall to you!"
Seeing Bamu Ge about to speak again, Ananda waved his hand and said, "If you don't leave now, it will be too late. Hurry up."
Bamu Ge's eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth as he gathered the remaining shop assistants and headed for the port.
The entire Land of Hope immediately fell into chaos. The human race was fine, but many people were simply there for business and naturally did not want to die here.
Deep within a廢棄灵脈 (abandoned spiritual vein) a hundred miles away, Qin Yunlan said to the big rat and Xiao Shitóu beside her, holding a half-absorbed top-grade spirit stone in her hand, "No matter what happens outside, do not go out."
"Although Chen Yang is not here, he is definitely not dead. Guard this place, and the human race will have a chance."
The big rat saw Qin Yunlan about to leave and said nothing. However, Xiao Shitóu took out a stone and said word by word, "Shield... can hold."
Qin Yunlan took the item, stroked Xiao Shitóu's head, and a moment later, she had left the abandoned spiritual vein and headed for the Land of Hope.
Looking at the empty room, the big rat jumped onto Xiao Shitóu's body and chuckled, "Did you hear that? Stay here properly, don't go anywhere!"
With that, its body burrowed into the ground, leaving no trace, but its figure had already disappeared.
Xiao Shitóu stared blankly for a long time before saying heavily, "What, everyone is gone."
The big rat naturally would not stay alone in the abandoned spiritual vein.
This was not only because of Chen Yang, but also because of Chen Shu and Fei Zijin, and the others.
Chen Yang had told the big rat about Fei Zijin and Hou Qingzhu coming to the mortal realm. The big rat had also secretly met these people.
They had come out of Qingzhou City together and had lived together. The big rat naturally could not watch them die.
Looking at the chaos in the Land of Hope, the Prefect of Yaodu Prefecture showed no smile.
Because on the way, he could no longer sense the location of the breakthrough!
However, the general direction was definitely around the Land of Hope!
That Chen Yang had not appeared yet!
This further confirmed the Prefect of Yaodu Prefecture's guess.
"No, I must force Chen Yang out!"
The Prefect of Yaodu Prefecture waved his hand, and a silent spiritual force impacted the formation of the Land of Hope.
It was not the power of the peak Core Condensation realm, but the ninth level of Core Condensation!
However, even so, two layers of the defensive formation of the Land of Hope were instantly broken!
Just as the Prefect of Yaodu Prefecture was about to make another move, a divine light descended from the sky.
It directly enveloped the Prefect of Yaodu Prefecture!
Qin Yunlan appeared above the Land of Hope with a pale face. The divine light just now was precisely her Three-Eyed Divine Ability!
