Chapter 363: Leaving
Lin Fan looked on as Zhu Daoshen and Wu Zhige left. He didn’t stop them as he knew that he didn’t have the ability to do so.
Although his father seemed fine, he knew that his father wasn’t in a good state either. He was the same as Zhu Daoshen and Wu Zhige and was badly injured.
“Father, what a waste, we were nearly able to kill them.” Lin Fan said.
It was really a waste.
They were just so close. If the Time Source was able to last a little longer, they would have definitely been able to kill the two of them.
“Eh.”
Lin Wanyi gave out a low sound. When Lin Fan turned around and looked, he saw blood seeping out from the corners of his father’s mouth. It was obvious that the injuries he suffered in the Time Source were quite serious.
“Father, are you okay?” Lin Fan was worried.
Lin Wanyi raised his hand, “I am okay. It is just a small injury. Oh right, what did you see in the Time Source just now?”
This problem was a little serious.
His father was obviously asking about those small legs and little things hanging at their legs.
He understood the reason why his father didn’t want him to stay here.
“No, I went blind and didn’t see anything at all.” Lin Fan replied. He had to firmly act like he hadn’t seen anything at all.
Lin Wanyi looked at the battlefield that was covered with thousands of holes and his expression became much more solemn.
“We already know how this path ends, but we still chose to walk it. I wasn’t able to protect all of you and bring you to the finish line.”
He slowly closed his eyes and those familiar figures appeared one by one before disappearing.
Lin Fan looked at the surrounding environment. The intense war had ended. To him, there was no winner or loser as both sides paid a heavy price.
Father said that You City had lost but it was because he was no longer able to defend this place on his own. In the end, the Alliance broke through the defense line.
Kachi!
Suddenly, a soft voice spread out.
“Am I still alive?”
Zhang Tianshan pushed aside the pieces of stone on his body and climbed out from the hole with a stunned expression. When he saw Lin Wanyi and Lin Fan, a joyous expression appeared on his face.
But very quickly, he was shocked by the situation around.
“They… are all dead.”
He tried his best to lay out formations, and in the end, he was. .h.i.t by the shockwaves of a battle and fainted. He thought that he had died but looking at the situation, he was alive. However, the situation around was a little too much for him.
“Zhang Tianshan, it is over.” Lin Fan realized that his gaze was a little off like he was unable to accept everything that happened.
Slowly, Zhang Tianshan opened his mouth slightly like he had something to say but he stopped. It was like something was stuck in his throat.
He knelt on the ground on both knees and buried his head.
He muttered that too many people had died.
Lin Wanyi was a little worried but he quickly calmed down. It wasn’t that he was cold-blooded and didn’t care at all, but that he had defended this place for so long and was already used to it.
Death wasn’t scary for the people here. To be able to trade their lives for more Alliance experts made it worth it.
Lin Fan adjusted his state of mind.
“Father, what should we do now?” Lin Fan asked. It was obvious that they couldn’t stay here any longer. So many Alliance nine-star generals had died but so what? The Alliance Headquarters was their pillar and although their experts died, they could continue sending more.
Although his father was strong, to defend the entire Alliance alone was just impossible. Unless he was top of the world and no one was even close, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to suppress them with strength.
Now, his father’s strength was far from enough.
Lin Wanyi looked at Lin Fan and kept silent for a long while. His palm landed on his shoulder. “Fan’er you have grown up and can protect yourself. From now onward, I will stop taking care of you. I am going to find some old friends, so you better take care of yourself well.”
“Eh, understood.” Lin Fan replied. Naturally, Father had his reasons for not bringing him. However with his father’s strength, naturally he wouldn’t face any danger. Moreover, he wanted to head out and have fun alone.
Now that Father was calling him Fan’er, he was not used to it.
He still liked it when his father called him an unfilial kid.
That felt much better.
“Tianshan, the battle has ended. The other defense lines will back off, so it is best that you hide and don’t reveal yourself.” Lin Wanyi said.
Zhang Tianshan wasn’t strong but his formations were. During this war, he had helped a lot.
“I… Haiz.” Zhang Tianshan wanted to say something but he sighed in the end and didn’t know what to say.
Suddenly, a voice spread into his ears.
“I am not dead yet.”
The voice was filled with surprise and even shock like he hadn’t expected this situation.
Pieces of stone were being pushed aside.
A young, pink pig squeezed out from the ground. This pig was the size of a small puppy and was covered in dust. When it popped out, it shook its body to shake off the dirt.
“Master Lin…” The small pig opened its mouth.
Lin Fan looked at the pig in shock and said in disbelief, “Zhushen, didn’t you…”
He saw Zhu Shen being swallowed by that black pig and then self-destructing, killing many nine-star generals. What was going on? How was he still alive? This was too shocking.
“Young Master Lin, I did die but who knew that I would still be alive? The only thing is that my field of vision feels so different.” Zhu Shen felt really weird. When he looked forwards he could only see their legs.
What was going on?
Did he become shorter after being smacked by people?
“Zhu Shen, you really became a pig.” Lin Fan didn’t want to be so direct, but since it happened, then they could only accept it, which was why he told him about the situation truthfully. Only by accepting reality could one face the future.
Zhu Shen was stunned.
He lowered his head and looked at his feet, terrified. Oh my G.o.d, weren’t those pig trotters?
In the past, when he hid his ident.i.ty in You City, he was a butcher.
“Ah! How did this happen? My life was so amazing, so how did I become a pig?” Zhu Shen cried out. Even if he was strong and was a really calm person, when such a thing happened, obviously one would go crazy.
Zhang Tianshan consoled, “Zhu Shen, don’t be too sad. Maybe you killed too many pigs, so the heavens gave you such welfare. No matter what, you are still alive, unlike the others who have no chance at all.”
When Zhu Shen heard Zhang Tianshan’s words he wanted to smash that fellow. But when he heard the latter part, he became really silent. His pig nose picked up the scent of blood.
“Are they all dead?” Zhu Shen felt really depressed and howled towards the sky. He wanted to vent his rage but his voice turned into oinks.
As expected, it was great that he could speak, but the pig noises still did exist.
“Zhu Shen, in the future, you just follow Fan’er.” Lin Wanyi wanted to head to an important place, so he couldn’t bring Zhu Shen. Thus, the best choice would be to ask him to follow Fan’er.
Of course, the main reason was that Lin Wanyi was afraid that Zhu Shen would be noticed by refugees who would treat him as normal livestock and cook him.
Zhu Shen looked at Lin Wanyi with a weird expression, “Master Lin, I know what you are worried about but my cultivation still exists. It is only that I am slightly restricted. Maybe this has something to do with the pig sealed in the machete.”
Zhu Shen wasn’t a fool.
He felt that he was still alive because of the pig in the blade.
“However, it is a good decision to follow Young Master Lin. You City has ended and we have tried our best. We can’t stop what will happen next.”
Zhu Shen still couldn’t accept that the Alliance had broken through You City but the truth was right in front of his eyes and he had to believe it. It was too tragic and many of his good friends had all died. He remembered this in his heart and one day he would take revenge for them one by one.
“Father, let’s leave just in case the Alliance sends more experts over. With our current situation, we might not be able to block them.” Lin Fan said.
You City was totally finished, but they couldn’t underestimate the Alliance Headquarters.
Zhu Daoshen and Wu Zhige had left for a while now and they would have definitely reported the situation here. As long as the Alliance Headquarters weren’t too dumb, they would definitely send experts to clear the battlefield.
“Eh, let’s go.”
Lin Wanyi took a look at You City and was a bit hesitant. However, what could he do even if he was reluctant?
The Alliance had won.
What would happen next would be really complicated and it wasn’t them dealing with just the Alliance.
The internal situation would also be quite chaotic.
The Imperial Dynasty would probably fall and the top sects would strike one by one. Of course, they wouldn’t do so now and would probably wait till the Alliance entered the Rich Land.
Very quickly, the group of them left You City. When they left, Lin Wanyi flipped his palm and the entire area shook. It was like there were dragons in the ground trying to break out, covering all the corpses with dirt.
He couldn’t bring them away, so he could only bury them here.
Laoshan City, Alliance Camp.
Zhao Lishan brought people to attack the Alliance main camp and deal a heavy blow to them.
“Brother Lin…” Zhao Lishan sighed. They had broken through the main camp because Lin Wanyi sent people to inform them that Xuan Long wasn’t here. Without experts, the Alliance main camp was too weak. Although there was an intense battle, the people of Laoshan City had paid a really small price and wiped out the Alliance.
“Should we continue?” Laoshan City experts asked.
They were thrilled from all the killing and had never expected that it would feel so good.
Zhao Lishan shook his head, “No, let’s leave Laoshan City.”
When the Laoshan City experts heard this, they were shocked. They didn’t expect that to be the answer.
Leave?
