Chapter 1406: Take Off Armor and Return Home (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
For three consecutive days, the teleportation field of the Wind Thunder Town was overcrowded. In just three days, as many as 80,000 soldiers of the Scattered Stars Island returned one after another.
And it had only been three days.
One after another, people returned at every moment. This wasn’t something that could be completed quickly. After all, there were still people who wanted to stay there. Therefore, there would be a process of examination.
Most of the people were quickly examined. Their ages and physical conditions were checked, and their family conditions were asked about…
If nothing was wrong, they would be directly sent back.
In fact, although there were as many as seventy or eighty thousand people, it would be only about 200 people for each village and town.
Even if another seventy or eighty thousand people returned, it wouldn’t be much.
Few of these people who were sent back were prepared to live a low-key life. In the villages and towns, they were undoubtedly strong masters. Why should they live a low-key life?
They needed to tell their stories to many people, to publicize the danger of sea demons, and to spread the legendary stories they often heard in carnival shops on the Scattered Stars Island. Of course, the most important thing was to nurture the weak.
The reason Han Fei wanted these people to come back was that the overall combat power provided by the 36 towns to the Scattered Stars Island was too weak, and most of the deficiency were made up by the people from the Thousand Star City.
This wouldn’t do. If the 36 towns had good teachers to nurture talents, they might not be any weaker than the Thousand Star City. Therefore, it was very necessary for these strong masters to return to their hometowns. With their help, the overall strength of the youths in the 36 towns could be improved.
In recent days, the people in the 36 towns witnessed various ways of glorious return.
In the Triumph Town, when the first batch of people returned from the teleportation array, there were 236 people in total.
Someone said, “Everyone, remember the purpose and significance of our return. From today on, there will be no Unknown Place in this world. We must tell many people about the Scattered Stars Island and let them remember what the Unknown Place they respect and expect to see is like…”
Someone smiled. “Of course. Let’s go and report to the mayor first.”
Everyone looked at each other and laughed. “Let’s go… Let’s go.”
“Hualala…”
Among the 236 people, 56 suddenly opened their wings and flew into the sky.
The rest 180 people couldn’t have felt more regretful. They regretted that they weren’t Hidden Fishers. Otherwise, they would have been able to soar in the sky like they did.
Someone cursed, “You show-offs! Brothers, let’s release our strength and go to the mayor.”
“Ha! Let’s go…”
“I don’t want my face anymore. Let me play with you.”
These people lined up in an array and moved extremely fast. Even if some had broken legs, they still moved very fast.
Behind them, inside and outside the teleportation hall of the Triumph Town, everyone was dumbfounded.
“Oh! Angels, more than 50 angels have come at once.”
“Oh my G.o.d, what happened?”
When these more than 50 people flew in the sky, countless people were dumbfounded. Did something big happen in the Triumph Town? Why did so many angels suddenly show up?
A child raised his head and shouted, “Dad, Dad, I saw many Hidden Fishers.”
A child rushed home, yelling, and his father scolded, “I haven’t even seen many Hidden Fishers. How can you?”
However, there were exclamations outside the house, and the person cursed and walked out of the house. “Why are you crying and howling in the day… Wow…”
…
Heavenly Martial Town, War G.o.d Village.
Heavenly Martial Town valued martial arts. Most of the people came back together with their townsmen, while the people from this town advocated individual bravery and often liked to fight alone.
At this moment, Qin Cang returned alone.
Qin Cang’s eyes were covered by a black cloth. His eyes were injured in a battle, and from then on, he could only see the world with his perception.
Perhaps because he was blind, although Qin Cang was a soul warrior, his soul power was very strong. Among Hidden Fishers of the same level, his soul power was more than twice that of others.
When the fis.h.i.+ng boat came to the War G.o.d Village, Qin Cang was excited. In his mind, there had always been a beautiful figure.
Back then, he was still young and resolutely went to the Unknown Place to pursue a bright future, and didn’t choose to stay to accompany the girl who was waiting for him. Although he wanted to come back countless times, he didn’t due to guilt.
He failed her and left her alone. How could he have the face to return?
But now, he had to return.
Before he returned, Qin Cang was excited. He wondered if the girl was married. In a place like the War G.o.d Village, she must have been married.
Qin Cang’s mind was filled with guilt for the girl.
Besides, he was blind, and there was no such thing as a glorious return for him! He would consider how to perform the missions after he settled down!
Qin Cang pulled the black cloth over his eyes slightly, put away the fis.h.i.+ng boat, and soon returned to his yard.
Qin Cang used to be a Heavenly Talent of the War G.o.d Village.
Therefore, his yard had always been there. However, when he came to the door of his house, he found that the yard was well equipped with living facilities. There were dried sea linen clothes, a clam in the tank, a lot of dried fish hanging in front of the house, some exquisite handmade items, and a half polished fis.h.i.+ng pole.
“Huh? Someone is living here?”
Qin Cang couldn’t help but frown. He hadn’t returned for a few years. Who dared to occupy his yard?
However, he immediately detected the clothes of women in the room.
“Hey! Who are you looking for?”
Beside him, a chubby middle-aged woman said warily, holding an iron rod in her hand. Because of Qin Cang’s height and the black cloth covering his eyes, he didn’t look like a good person.
Besides, Qin Cang smelled of blood, which made people think that he was a wicked man.
Qin Cang turned his head and smiled. “Auntie Qing, it’s me…”
The chubby woman was surprised that this man knew her name… Then she looked at Qin Cang’s face. Although it was covered by a black cloth, it still looked familiar.
“Ah! Are you… Qin Cang?”
Qin Cang nodded slightly. “It’s me. I’m back.”
The chubby woman exclaimed, “Xiao Cang, you’ve been gone for eight years, haven’t you? Why are you back now? Ouch, what’s wrong with your eyes…”
Seeing the chubby woman begin to nag, Qin Cang couldn’t help but say, “Auntie Qing, my house…”
The chubby woman exclaimed, “Oh, Jin’er has been living here! Jin’er has been guarding your home for you. She has been waiting for you for eight years and has rejected so many good boys! Qin Cang, you must not let Jin’er down this time! Otherwise, although I can’t beat you, I must still whip you!”
Qin Cang trembled. “What? It’s her… Where is she?”
The chubby woman said, “She was badly injured. Although she still has strength, she still has to make a living, so she is doing some small business while cultivating! At the port in the east, Jin’er rented a small shop to make some jewelry to sell…”
…
War G.o.d Village, the eastern port.
A few hooligans were causing trouble, and an ape-faced guy led two or three men to block the door of a small shop.
The short and thin leader chuckled and said lasciviously, “Lin Jin, just say yes! Xiaolei Family is very powerful! The second young master of the Xiaolei family is very talented. If you marry him, your life will be wonderful!”
Pa!
The girl called Lin Jin was thin and pale, but her face was still pretty. At this moment, she glared at the short and thin young man. “Get lost!”
Another man suddenly reached out and slapped Lin Jin’s b.u.t.t. Lin Jin was so angry that she pulled out the long knife on the table and slashed at him. “If you dare to touch me again, I’ll kill you.”
The rascal giggled. “Lin Jin, if you kill me, can you still wait for your Brother Cang? Aren’t you afraid of being exiled?”
The short and thin man smiled and said, “Lin Jin, if you want us to stop hara.s.sing you, marry Young Master Xiaolei! Or you can marry me!”
“Hahaha!”
As the scoundrels laughed, they grabbed a box of jewelry and sneered. “Okay. I’ll come back tomorrow!”
“Put it down.”
The short and thin man grabbed the jewelry box and was about to leave, when he suddenly saw a brawny young man with black cloth covering his eyes blocking the door of the shop.
The short and thin man cursed, “Where are you from, blind man? Get lost, or I’ll kill you.”
Shua!
Silver light flashed and a cold glint swept across. An arm flew up, and the box of jewelry appeared in the blind man’s hand at some point.
“Ahhh~”
The short and thin man fell to the ground and rolled. The expressions of the other scoundrels changed drastically as they shouted angrily, “B*stard, do you know who you injured? This is Master Hei from the Xiaolei Family. You are doomed.”
The short and thin man roared, “Don’t let him go! Chop him up!”
Shua!
Silver light appeared again, and the other arm of the short and thin man was gone.
Qin Cang’s voice was cold, his body was steaming with murderous aura, and he pointed the long knife in his hand at a hooligan. “You, tell the Xiaolei Family that if they don’t come within half an hour, there will be no Xiaolei Family in the War G.o.d Village.”
The hooligan quickly ran away, but the shop was already surrounded by people.
“Brother… Brother Cang?”
The moment Qin Cang appeared, Lin Jin had already known who had come. At this moment, she covered her mouth and two streams of tears rolled down.
Qin Cang looked at Lin Jin. After a long while, he said, “I’m sorry. I… I came back late.”
At this moment, a group of guards from the port rushed over and shouted, “Where? Where is the thug?”
Someone rushed in and yelled, “Thief, how dare you commit a.s.sault in public? Who gave you the courage…”
Plop!
Those people had just run ten meters away from Qin Cang when they all fell to the ground, vomiting blood, shaking like shrimp, unable to say a word.
Qin Cang ignored these people and walked forward, reaching out to wipe the tears at the corner of Lin Jin’s eyes.
Instantly, Lin Jin fell into Qin Cang’s arms and wailed. “Why have you only just come back? Where have you been all these years? Do you know how long I’ve waited for you…”
Qin Cang hugged Lin Jin, his voice trembling. “I’m back. I’m not leaving. In this life, I, Qin Cang, will never leave you alone again.”
In the crowd, many people sighed. “Qin Cang? He seems to be a former Heavenly Talent!”
“Huh? He is blind?”
“He’s still so powerful even though he’s blind? His talent is not bad.”
“What’s so good about him? He probably couldn’t hold on outside so he came back.”
After a while, someone shouted from afar, “Which thief dares to touch the people of our Xiaolei Family?”
An armorist rushed over with two junior fis.h.i.+ng masters. Without saying a word, he rushed straight into the shop without even looking at the guards lying on the ground.
Qin Cang gently stroked Lin Jin’s hair and said lightly, “Only a great fis.h.i.+ng master came? Heh, from today on, there will be no Xiaolei Family in the War G.o.d Village.”
All of a sudden, a thunderous voice came from Qin Cang’s mouth, and many onlookers fell to the ground in fright. “I am Qin Cang, the deputy commander of the 76th Division of Pioneer Group in the Unknown Place.. The head of the War G.o.d Village, the master of Xiaolei Family, come to see me.”
