Chapter 1381: After the War
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At the bottom of the Empyrean Waterfall, right above the remains of the king, demonic energy surged on Han Fei’s body. The scouring of waves of demonic energy on Han Fei caused his strength to grow rapidly.
While Han Fei was cultivating, the battle on the Scattered Stars Island had basically stabilized outside.
After all, Han Fei had killed a Venerable-level powerful enemy of the other party, as well as many Dao-Seeking realm sea demons. More than 4,000 sea demons had been killed by the humans.
In this way, the Hidden Fishers who were deployed to fight returned to the Scattered Stars Island one after another. This was another terrifying combat force.
Due to the death of a Venerable, many Dao Seeking realm demons retreated in panic on the surrounding battlefield. This solved the crisis of the Scattered Stars Island.
At this moment, all the divisions on the Scattered Stars Island were calculating the casualties and clearing up the battlefield.
According to incomplete statistics, in the seven consecutive days of crazy battles, the average number of human beings killed reached 50,000 people a day. This cruel war also made the new recruits grow up quickly and become experienced.
The Refining Hall, alchemy rooms, and various carnival shops were all bustling.
After the battle, although many human beings died, more sea demons died. Countless sea demons had died.
All kinds of materials and resources had filled up the four Logistics Divisions.
In order not to affect the peace of the 36 towns, some people had secretly begun to transport a.s.sets to the 36 towns.
Some things that were not good enough on the Scattered Stars Island were the best treasures in the Thirty-Six Towns. There were many people who liked them. Besides, the population of the Thirty-Six Towns was large, and there were countless rich people. After sending away a few warehouses of the resources, dozens of warehouses of resources had been sold. If it were before, there would only be a large supply once every half a year or a year, and the number was only two or three warehouses.
In the 36 towns, there were also many people crazily spreading the news of human beings’ victory. After all, human beings had never had so many resources. But the fact was that in these decades, there were no decent battles.
Of course, these ordinary people, or low-level cultivators who were in their growing phase, didn’t know much about the battle situation. They didn’t know: the crisis of mankind had just begun.
In war, there would certainly be sacrifices. With sacrifices, resources would inevitably flow out. Therefore, it was very one-sided to judge the human situation by the amount of resources alone.
But in any case, a victory was crucial to the morale of the human race. The Scattered Stars Island didn’t want to bring negative emotions to the 36 towns.
Many businessmen were also praising the benefits of winning the war…
Xue Shenqi stood on a huge reef with his hands behind his back. He seemed to see countless humans cheering.
“This is good! A victory can increase confidence and stimulate fighting spirit…”
At this moment, the merchants of the 36 towns were all overjoyed. Too many resources had come this time.
The prices of spiritual weapons had been reduced to the original 70%. In fact, as the supply surged this time, most special materials had already begun to sell at a lower price. The market responded enthusiastically.
In fact, there were a lot of people in the Thirty-Six Towns. Every time the price of sales dropped a level, more people would come to buy it. Therefore, these people were far enough to digest the war supplies of the Scattered Stars Island.
Of course, the Thirty-Six Towns could only consume some low-level materials, usually below the Hanging Fisher level.
But Intermediate or Advanced Hanging Fishers or Hidden Fishers would only use spiritual weapons. Even low-quality spiritual weapons were still spiritual weapons! No matter how poor a spiritual weapon was, it could be used in the level-three fishery. Such hard currency was more popular in the Thousand Star City.
Resources were circulating more quickly. Except for some experts above the Hidden Fisher level on the Scattered Stars Island, the Thousand Star City and the Thirty-Six Towns were very happy about this matter.
But only a few people knew that there was a price to be paid for these gains! These resources were exchanged by the death of countless people.
Therefore, when the Semi-Divine weapons on the Scattered Stars Island were popularized and the sea demons came aggressively, it seemed that human beings were in danger. In the eyes of the soldiers on the island, once the Scattered Stars Island was destroyed, human beings would be trapped in the sky, and there would be no place for human beings on the vast sea.
Besides, everyone below the Explorer level thought that the Spirit Awakening Fluid could only be collected on the Scattered Stars Island. Therefore, if the Scattered Stars Island was conquered by sea demons, human beings would have no Spirit Awakening Fluid to use anymore. And once the Spirit Awakening Fluid was gone, how many children of human beings would be unable to awaken spirits? If this went on, human beings might be doomed.
This was the thought of most people on the Scattered Stars Island. And those in power needed them to have this thought, so as to make these soldiers feel responsible!
After the battle, it was a cultivation frenzy.
On the Scattered Stars Island, Han Fei’s name appeared on the streets and in the various legions again, and the discussions on him were the most heated in the carnival shops.
In a carnival shop on the west side of the Scattered Stars Island, someone was surrounded by a large group of people.
This person was bragging, “You may not believe it… Our commander, You Lingyun, the Blazing Fire Dual Swords, you’ve heard of her, right? At that time, her spiritual energy was exhausted and she was exhausted from the battle. An enemy’s big demonic harpoon cut through the air and almost succeeded in the sneak attack against her, but guess what happened?”
The onlookers asked hurriedly, “What happened? Come on, tell us!”
Someone was lost for words. “Son of a b * tch, don’t keep us guessing! Just because you’re a member of her team doesn’t mean you’re great, OK?”
The man picked up the Fiery Wine and drank it in one gulp. He smacked his lips and said, “In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared out of thin air. He pinched with one hand and crushed the Sea Spirit into ashes.”
Everybody exclaimed, and someone said, “Just one attack? It’s said that Han Fei was only a Hidden Fisher when he left the Scattered Stars Island.”
Someone echoed, “That’s right! Besides, I once heard that there is a death barrier between a law enforcer and an Explorer. To break through this barrier, one has to defy the heavens and withstand the heavenly punishment to become an Explorer…”
Someone sighed. “I’m not surprised. When Han Fei left the Scattered Stars Island, it is said that he killed a Sea Spirit alone. It has been ten years since then, right?”
The storyteller clicked his tongue and said, “What do you know… Do you know that after Captain Han saved our commander, he waved his sleeve, and the sea turned into a sword, extending hundreds of kilometers long and nearly 300 meters high? The sea sword pushed all the way to the inner sea, slaughtering all the sea demons wherever it pa.s.sed. You know what, that single blow was comparable to half a day of fierce battles of 8,000 soldiers! You can imagine how terrifying Captain Han’s current strength is!”
Someone sighed. “Why do I hear that the sword wave is more than a kilometer high?”
Someone said, “It extended a hundred kilometers long, right? I heard that the sword wave is still rampaging in the sea! It’s already tens of thousands of kilometers away.”
“Pfft!”
On a distant table, someone spewed out the liquor in her mouth.
A cold woman was speechless. Who the f*ck spread this rumor?
There were four other people present at the table. Hearing this, they couldn’t help but laugh. “Because of the rumor, Han Fei has already become a legend after only one day. Someone even said that Han Fei killed a peak-level Dao-Seeking sea demon with one punch and killed a Venerable with three blows. Are they out of their minds?”
A female manipulator chuckled. “They’re exaggerating too much. Hey, Sister Xiaoyu, isn’t Han Fei from the Blue Sea Town? I heard that he’s still young. Have you heard of him before?”
The armorist was eating dried fish and said with a smile, “Captain and Han Fei didn’t come to the Scattered Stars Island at the same time, nor are they of the same age. How could she possibly know him?”
He Xiaoyu had never been home since she came to the Scattered Stars Island. She only asked someone to send her family letters occasionally.
Now, the girl had grown up.
He Xiaoyu, who was determined to be a great fis.h.i.+ng master, was now the leader of a five-person team. After many years, she had become an advanced Hidden Fisher.
A few years ago, in a secret realm, she almost died.
Having a narrow escape, He Xiaoyu had already figured it out. She no longer pursued strength and realm improvement, but tried to have the heart of a real powerhouse. Her goal was to pursue the unknown Dao in the vast world!
At this moment, she was no longer blindly chasing someone. She knew that she was not talented enough and would walk slowly, so she would just take time to polish her foundation well.
Only in this way she wouldn’t fade away into the crowd in the future.
“Actually, it’s possible.”
Everyone: “???”
The armorist: “What is possible?”
Pa!
He Xiaoyu put down the cup. “This battle is over. You must be tired. Go back and digest what you’ve gained this time.”
“Hey! Captain, where are you going?”
“Empyrean Waterfall.”
…
The Mayor’s Mansion.
Jiuyin Ling said timidly, “Marshal, I’m Jiuyin Ling. May I see you?”
“Come in!”
As soon as Jiuyin Ling entered the room, she saw Xue Shenqi speaking to a group of people.
Xue Shenqi said, “We still need ten Fei-Yan-Mu Furnaces. They must be completed within half a month. Also, sell the Semi-Divine weapons in the inventory at a low price. Uncle Zhong, you’ll be in charge of this matter.”
“Yes, Marshal.”
Xue Shenqi said, “Dongshui, after the battle, comforting and compensating bereaved families is a big thing. There were too many casualties in this battle. Report to the families of the deceased people in the 36 towns in batches. Make them think that this is a normal battle death. It doesn’t matter if it takes a long time. You’ll handle this matter.”
“Yes, Marshal.”
Xue Shenqi said, “The method of turning sea demons into human beings has existed for a long time, especially after the war. It’s imperative to search for sea demons’ spies. Zhang Teng, you can mobilize the Heavenly Talents of the Scattered Stars First Unit to search for such people all over the island. You’ll be in charge of this matter.”
Zhang Teng: “Yes, Marshal… Uh…”
Xue Shenqi asked, “Huh? Anything else?”
Zhang Teng smiled and said, “Well, I heard that Han Fei’s strength has greatly increased after his return. This guy has always been acting in his own way and is so strong now. If anything happens again, I’m afraid the Scattered Stars Prison won’t be able to hold him.”
Xue Shenqi put on a smile. “Don’t worry. I won’t let you catch him again.”
“Hu! That’s good, that’s good…”
After Xue Shenqi arranged everything, he turned to look at Jiuyin Ling. “What’s the matter?”
Jiuyin Ling said bluntly, “May I ask where Han Fei is?”
Xue Shenqi took a deep look at Jiuyin Ling. “When he should appear, he will appear. This is a matter of life and death for human beings. Personal love should be thrown aside first. Jiuyin Ling, you should have heard the rumors. Han Fei killed a Venerable. This is not a rumor.”
Jiuyin Ling was shocked. “Did he really kill a Venerable?”
Xue Shenqi said indifferently, “Han Fei can already kill a Venerable. Although your progress is extremely fast and you have reached the peak of the law enforcer realm, it’s still not enough. Do you know what I mean?”
Jiuyin Ling bit her lips. “Got it. I’ll take my leave.”
