Chapter 460: Bndia
The group encountered a couple more waves of Spirit Beasts on their way to Bndia, but they were able to defeat them all easily. Lu Ye and Lan Ziyis performance in particr were exceptional considering their cultivation level, so much so that even Xia Qianqian was a bit surprised. After all, there werent many Second Order cultivators who could fight as well as them at all. She herself was a much lousier cultivator when she was at their level.
She knew then that they must have been quite famous when they were at the Spirit Creek Realm. She strongly suspected that they were among the top twenty or even the top ten rankers on the Scroll of Supremacy.
Over half a day of travelter, Bndia finally emerged from the horizon. It was a gigantic city that nearly stretched from one end of the horizon to the other. Not only were the walls over seventy meters tall, they were thick and glimmering a little. It was obvious they had been empowered with spells that made them tougher and more resistant to impact.
Bndia was thergest and final bastion of the Human race of the Myriad Beasts Domain. Without exaggeration, over half of the remaining Humans in the entire Cultivation World resided in this city. Those who werent were making their way toward Bndia as well.
If the city was destroyed, then there would be no ce left for humanity in the Myriad Beast Domain. Annihtion and even extinction would be their final fate.
When the group of four arrived, a man immediately rose from the walls and called out to them, Who are you?
The man wore a set of shiny armor and wielded a long de. His expression was stern, and there were bloodstains on the armor despite its shiny appearance. Judging from the fact that he was bubbling with killing intent, it was clear that he had just fought a battle.
Looking at the ground beneath the walls, they saw a lot of cultivators casting spells to burn away small heaps of Spirit Beast carcasses. The acrid stench could be smelled from kilometers away.
Lu Ye responded loudly, It is I, Ye Six of the Myriad Beasts!
The Myriad Beasts Sect! The man straightened his expression as he looked Lu Ye up and down. Who is Ye Wushuang to you?
[Ye Wushuang thats the sect master of the Myriad Beasts Sect!]
The information shed across Lu Yes mind as he forced himself to answer, He is my father!
So youre the Young Master of the Myriad Beasts Sect! The man sped his hand and gave him a respectful bow.
The Myriad Beasts Sect was the strongest sect in the world. It might be gone, but its influence hadnt fully dissipated.
If you dont mind me asking, how is your sect faring? The man asked again.
Lu Ye faked a sorrowful expression and shook his head. He did not say anything because there was no need.
You have my deepest condolences, Young Master Ye! The man let out a sigh before beckoning him to follow. Please follow me into the city!
Thank you!
Lu Ye and the others followed the man into the city. The airspace of Bndia was rife with cultivators, and the ground even more so. Practically every crook and cranny of the city was filled with people. Even the streets were filled with mortals who managed to escape to the city, but had no ce to stay. Barely anyone was wearing a smile on their faces, and why would they? They had lost their homes after all.
Cultivators at least possessed the ability to fight back against the cmity besetting them, but the mortals neither their fate nor their life was in their hands.
Still, these mortals were the lucky ones. After all, they ultimately managed to escape to the city and survive. There were countless others who did not make it, and the blood they bled was enough to create an entire sea.
Despite knowing that this was a Hidden Realm, the group could not help but feel sorry for these people. There was simply nothing these people could do when the world itself was sliding toward the end.
What do we do now? Kitty Shen asked.
Lu Ye thought for a moment before replying, Lets exchange Battlefield Imprints before splitting up. Fellow Cultivator Xia, please apany me to the rulers residence. Fellow Cultivator Shen and Fellow Cultivator Lan, I would ask you to look around and gather information while were gone.
Since everyone was okay with the n, they quickly exchanged Battlefield Imprints and split up.
While Lu Ye was leading Xia Qianqian toward the rulers residence, the woman spoke up, It looks like youve noticed it.
What are you referring to exactly, Fellow Cultivator Xia?
Im referring to the fact that these people arent giving you the treatment or respect you deserve considering your status. You wouldnt have asked me to apany you otherwise.
So, youve noticed it as well?
If these people truly respected you, Bndia shouldve arranged someone to escort you to their rulers residence. You were the Young Master of the strongest sect in the world after all. Instead, the guy who brought us in left us to our devices as soon as he brought us in. Its pretty clear what Bndia thinks of you, no?
Thats normal. No matter what the Myriad Beasts Sect used to be in the past, it is gone now. Why would anyone give a damn about the young master of a destroyed sect? Not only that, I can tell you that Bndia and the Myriad Beasts Sect werent very close to begin with.
Do exin.
If the Myriad Beasts Sect and Bndia were close, the Myriad Beasts Sect wouldve sent methat is, their Young Masterto Bndia a long time ago. They wouldnt have waited until the Spirit Beasts had destroyed their headquarters. Beast Tamers might be the biggest cultivation faction in this world, but that doesnt mean that the other factions are useless. If the Myriad Beasts Sect is the greatest representative of the Beast Taming faction, then Bndia is probably the greatest representative of the other factions. That is why Bndia ultimately became their final refuge after the Spirit Beasts had gone mad.
Xia Qianqian nodded thoughtfully. That makes sense. To be honest with you, I hadnt thought that far. It looks like good luck isnt the only thing you have, you have a good head on your shoulders as well. I can see now why the Heavens have bestowed you your identity.
Lu Ye wanted to tell her no, it really was just because he was lucky. His luck had improved tremendously since he received the Gift of Providence. He held back though.
That is why you should be ready for anythingter, Senior Sister Xia. We arent just here to seek refuge. Were also here to do our part to ensure the continuation of the Human race.
Xia Qianqian smiled. Now my shoulders feel heavy.
While they were conversing, they had reached the edge of the pce at the center of the massive city. Before they could do anything else, someone shouted, Get down! No one is allowed to fly above the lords residence!
Flying wasnt forbidden in Bndia, but the airspace above the rulers residence was considered a forbidden zone. It was considered disrespectful not just to the ruler, but also Bndia itself.
Lu Ye and Xia Qianqian obeyed themand andnded in front of the entrance. They saw a lot of panicked-looking cultivators waiting for their turn to speak with the ruler.
What is your purpose for visiting the lord? The cultivator who yelled for them tond earlier asked impatiently while striding toward them.
Lu Ye sped his hand and said, I am Ye Six of the Myriad Beasts Sect. I havee to speak with your ruler.
That so? The guy replied indifferently, You can fall in line with the rest then. Everyone here is here to meet with the lord as well.
It was as if he hadnt heard the word Myriad Beasts Sect.
The man was about to leave when Xia Qianqian abruptly released her Spiritual Power. He immediately stopped in his tracks and turned toward her with an incredulous look on his face. He asked uncertainly, Are you at the Ninth Order Cloud River Realm?
The Myriad Beasts Domain was fairly smallpared to Jiu Zhou. In fact, it was only as big as the Spirit Creek Battlefield. Limited by the size of the world, the highest power they could reach was the Ninth Order of the Cloud River Realm.
The ruler of Bndia and the sect master of the Myriad Beasts Sect were at the Ninth Order as well.
In Jiu Zhou, it wasnt difficult to reach the Ninth Order of the Cloud River Realm. They simply needed a sufficient amount of cultivation resources.
That was not the case for the cultivators of the Myriad Beast Domain. As soon as they reached the Cloud River Realm, ascending the minor realms became as difficult as scaling the highest peaks as a mortal. That was why there werent many Ninth Order Cloud River Realm cultivators in this world, and each one was regarded as the greatest champion of humanity.
Naturally, Xia Qianqians disy of power immediately drew the attention of everyone in the vicinity.
Xia Qianqian asked indifferently, Can you please tell the ruler that the Young Master of Myriad Beasts Domain hase to see him?
It was only then the man nodded. Please give me a moment!
He then ran into the pce.
He could ignore Lu Ye because The Myriad Beasts Domain was already destroyed, but the same could not be said for a Ninth Order Cloud River Realm cultivator.
Lu Ye gave Xia Qianqian a thumbs-up. At the same time, he was beginning to understand why the Heavens had arranged a Ninth Order cultivator to be his attendant.
Xia Qianqian was one of the strongest cultivators in this Cultivation World. Her mere presence could grease the wheels so to speak.
A whileter, the man returned while looking much more respectful than before. He sped his fist at Lu Ye and said, Young Master Ye. This way please.
He nodded and led Xia Qianqian into the pce. A short whileter, they entered a side building and saw the lord of Bndia.
The lord of Bndia was an incredibly old man whose hair had turnedpletely white. Even his presence smelled faintly of rot. He was sitting on a chair and watching Lu Ye indifferently with a cup of tea in his hand.
Lu Ye and Xia Qianqian stopped in front of the ruler before Lu Ye greeted, Good day, sir.
The old man nodded before shooting Xia Qianqianshe was currently standing a step behind Lu Yea seemingly innocuous nce. While stroking his beard, he said, Time flies. You were just a kid thest time I saw you. To think you would be a young man already. I have heard of the Myriad Beast Sects unfortunate downfall, and you have my deepest condolences.
Considering my long-time rtionship with your father, I am d that you would choose to join me. My city is your home, and you are free to stay for as long as you like. That said, you may have noticed that Bndia is overcrowded right now. I am sorry, but I will not be able to offer you and your people better living conditions so to speak. You will have to bear with it for the moment.
I am fine with this arrangement, sir, Lu Ye said before removing his jade thumb ring. He set it down on the table beside the old man and said, This is the gift my father had prepared for you before he saw me off!
The old man epted the ring and, for the first time since they entered the room, looked visibly more spirited than before. He nodded. You have my thanks.
He waved a hand and called out, Ah Si!
Milord, a thin, bizarre-looking man answered while stepping out from the shadows. He was covered in colorful, bizarre-looking tattoos.
Take them to their amodations, will you?
As youmand, the man said before beckoning Lu Ye and Xia Qianqian to follow. Please, follow me.
The man named Ah Si led them out of the pce before rising into the air. He brought them all the way to the outer edge of Bndia before he finallynded.
A whileter, they arrived at a detached house. Ah Si pointed at the door and said, This is where youll be staying for the time being.
Thank you for your trouble.
Ah Si quickly left them after that.
Lu Ye and Xia Qianqian exchanged nces with each other before pushing the door open.
