Chapter 199: What Dynasty, What Heavenly Sect!
Several years later, the Northern Region.
“Master, do we really have to leave?”
“Are the Demon Race really that savage?”
“Even the sect’s formation can’t hold them back?”
At the teleportation formation outside a Great Vehicle sect in the Northern Region.
Countless cultivators, mixed in with mortals, were queued up one by one waiting to pass through.
In the crowd, a sturdy-looking boy stared reluctantly at the old man beside him.
He was very short, only around seven or eight years old, his face utterly tender, yet carrying a hint of heroic spirit.
As for the old man, his name was Yang Yunfeng, the sect master of a Foundation Establishment sect in the Northern Region.
His lineage passed down a single line, with only this one disciple.
And on top of that, the boy possessed the rare Three Spiritual Roots aptitude.
So ordinarily, he was treasured dearly.
Hearing the boy’s question, his gaze first swept across the surroundings, then finally settled on the boy.
“Huzi, you don’t understand. This demon tide is different from before.”
“In past demon tides, as long as you avoided them, it was fine.”
“But this time…”
At this point, the old man paused.
His eyes were full of worry.
Seeing this, Huzi also grew nervous. “Master, hurry up and tell me!”
“What’s different this time!”
“This time, I’m afraid we can’t avoid it.”
“After this, we probably won’t ever be able to set foot in the Northern Region again.”
The old man was silent for a long time.
Finally, he slowly spoke.
Hearing this, the boy named Huzi was also very disheartened.
But looking at the magnificent sect environment around him.
Huzi blinked again.
“Master, so the people of this sect don’t need to leave?”
“Aren’t they afraid of the Demon Race?”
Hearing Huzi’s question, Yang Yunfeng shook his head.
“It’s not that they aren’t afraid. It’s that they don’t believe in evil.”
“Forget it, forget it, let’s not talk about this. Let’s go quickly.”
Looking at the disciples and cultivators of the surrounding Great Vehicle sect.
Yang Yunfeng obediently shut his mouth.
He also casually covered Huzi’s mouth.
And as the two of them, along with a crowd of mortals and cultivators, stepped into the teleportation formation.
The scene before their eyes changed instantly.
When they opened their eyes again, a city foundation without end appeared before them!
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
“Ink Gold Stone on top, Blazing Flame Ore on the bottom!”
“That’s the only way the city foundation stays stable!”
“Hurry and get the Artifact Refining Sect’s disciples over here to finish up. This section of wall will be done soon!”
“…”
Huzi and Yang Yunfeng looked at the bustling, incredibly busy scene before them, and both were stunned.
“What a long, long city, Master. What city is this?”
“This place… is probably the Northern Region Great Wall.”
“Then what’s on the other side of the Great Wall?”
“The other side?”
Yang Yunfeng looked up, seeing that black giant city crouched upon the earth, winding like a snake.
“The other side is… the Demon Race’s world.”
“Hisss!”
“The Demon Race’s world?”
“So close!”
Huzi’s eyes went wide.
He had never imagined that just beyond a single wall lay the Demon Race’s territory.
“Mm, alright, enough of this.”
“You and I, master and disciple, have just arrived in the Southern Region with no one to rely on.”
“I heard the Northern Region Great Wall is recruiting cultivators for city construction. Good disciple, come with your master to earn a few spirit stones!”
“And lend the Human Race a hand while we’re at it!”
Hearing these words, the sturdy-looking boy nodded at once.
“Alright! I want to go too! Defend the Human Race, defend Master!”
“Heh heh, good disciple, let’s go.”
With that, he led Huzi toward the Recruitment Office.
And low-tier cultivators like them numbered in the hundreds of billions across the entire Prison Dragon Realm.
At this moment, all of them were endlessly teleporting toward the Southern Region.
A winding black giant city, like a snake, was also endlessly extending.
Spreading all the way from the southern border of the Central Pole Province.
During this time, countless Great Vehicle sects took up residence one after another.
Each family managing a section.
The mortals who teleported over also settled within the Northern Region Great Wall.
Becoming the main source of disciples for these sects.
Though the Human Race’s combat power was weaker than the Demon Race.
Under this kind of mobilization.
The entire Human Race of the Prison Dragon Realm gathered at the Northern Region Great Wall in this moment.
There were even cultivators who crossed the Great Wall and struck into the Demon Race’s garrison.
But they were quickly suppressed back by the Demon Venerables left behind.
Though it didn’t cause great damage to the Demon Race, it unintentionally yielded several major pieces of intelligence.
Within North-Rejecting City, the most important section of the Northern Region Great Wall, hailed as the hope of the Human Race.
Li Tianxuan and a host of Great Vehicle sect masters were listening to a scout who had stepped into Tribulation Crossing report.
“Council Lord! Something unknown has happened within the Demon Race.”
“Demon Venerables have been frequently returning to the Demon Domain.”
“Among them are even the Northern Sea Xuanji Clan and the Southern Li Giant Fire Lion Clan, two of the Five Overlord Clans of the Demon Domain!”
“Because of this, the Demon Race Overlord, Ao Ye, flew into a rage, strictly ordering any Demon Venerable to return to the Demon Domain.”
“It’s said this even affected the Demon Race’s progress in attacking the Northern Region.”
As the scout’s words fell.
Everyone among the Human Race’s upper echelons fell silent.
A moment later, discussion broke out.
“Huh, strange. What’s wrong with these Demon Venerables?”
“What are they all running back for?”
“Exactly. I heard the Northern Region was already half fallen, and it was only because of this that the Demon Race’s assault stalled and that side got a breather.”
“You think maybe something happened in the Demon Domain?”
“No idea. Could there be some hidden expert living there?”
“…”
The upper echelons discussed animatedly, but none could figure out the reason.
Li Tianxuan, listening to the discussion, also found it extremely strange.
“Cough cough, everyone, calm yourselves. Regardless of the cause, do you all think the Human Race should do something about this?”
Li Tianxuan spoke softly.
Hearing this.
All the Human Race sect masters hurriedly straightened up, eyes gleaming.
“Why not take advantage of the Demon Race’s weakness and our Northern Region Great Wall’s ample manpower to… strike in one go!”
“Exactly, why not cross the Great Wall! Drive the Demon Race back to the Demon Domain!”
“…”
“No, no.”
“What if the Demon Race is plotting something?”
“Exactly. If it’s to lure us out of the city, wouldn’t our foundations be destroyed?”
“…”
Listening to these words, Li Tianxuan found it hard to judge as well.
Right now, the Human Race had just gained hope, and it was not easy to stir things up.
Even if it were true, crossing the Great Wall didn’t mean they could easily drive the Demon Race away.
“Enough. For now, the construction of the Northern Region Great Wall remains the priority.”
“Each sect, report your progress.”
“Yes!”
After Li Tianxuan’s words fell, the group began reporting one after another.
This reporting went on for over three hours.
Currently, the Northern Region Great Wall’s total progress was only one-tenth.
The main reason was still the massive scale of the project and insufficient cultivator manpower.
It also included dealing with Demon Race harassment.
So progress was slow.
And listening to everyone’s reports, a Supreme in the crowd suddenly looked to his side.
“Fellow Daoist Juhai, aren’t there several sects in Guizhou’s territory that make their living refining Puppets?”
“I heard one of them is called Chao… something Chaotian Sect, first-rate at refining Puppets.”
“Why not have them lend strong support?”
A Human Race Supreme neighboring Qingnan Shengzhou asked the stationed Supreme of Vast Sea City.
At these words, everyone in the hall turned to look…
