It was a clear flat land with hundreds of plain rooms, surrounded by luxuriant ancient trees.
Yi Tian Mo, Ka Ba, and many clansmen of the Dark Devil Clan were as pale as wax. Obviously, they had suffered from malnutrition. Their aura were also feeble.
Di Shan and Yu Ruo stayed with the Winged Clan’s members in another side. They had built some small treehouses. All of them looked exhausted.
After Shi Yan arrived, scanning through this area, he couldn’t help but sigh, shaking his head begrudgingly. He knew their lives were filled with struggles.
Alien tribes deemed them as betrayers while the Human Clan considered them as aliens. The Dark Devil Clan and the Winged Clan had fallen into a perilous situation like they had never before. They could see neither hopes nor future as they were counting every day of their survival.
Both the Monster Clan in the Perpetual Night Forest and the hotshots of the Human Clan sneaking out from the Secret Domain made them their targets. They often swept the clansmen nearby.
Begrudgingly, Yi Tian Mo and Ka Ba had to use the soul class barrier to barricade this area to prevent the warriors from using the Soul Consciousness to detect them.
However, the Dark Devil Clan and the Winged Clan had never been rich. They didn’t have enough energy to maintain this soul barrier for a long time.
Yi Tian Mo and Ka Ba had to pay a big price, which was to consume their Soul Consciousness to maintain the soul barrier.
That’s why they looked so exhausted.
Di Shan and Yu Ruo came when they heard of Shi Yan’s arrival. They also looked distressed. Yu Ruo was pallid, as if she had some wounds.
The four leaders of the two clans kept silent. They kneeled down in front of him, looking at him with great expectation.
"How are you?" Shi Yan kept quiet for a while. His face was calm like water.
"Nothing much. I got a minor wound. I will be alright after a while of recovering. Master, don’t worry about me." Yu Ruo smiled gingerly as her beautiful face didn’t have her usual elegant demeanor.
"Some Elders of the Martial Spirit Palace hurt her. If we hadn’t run on time… Perhaps, we couldn’t have saved her life," Wicked resentment sparked deep in Di Shan’s eyes. "The warriors of the seven ancient factions sometimes come out of the Secret Domain to chase and kill us. Without the soul barrier Yi-ge and Ba-ge arranged, we wouldn’t have made it until now."
However, the seven ancient factions had many people, and had a high demand for food and cultivating materials. Thus, they had to sneak out sometimes to hunt the beasts in the forest. Consequently, the Dark Devil Clan and the Winged Clan often encountered dangers.
"I’ll get justice for you guys," Shi Yan stayed quiet for a while and then spoke up all of a sudden. "How many fellows do you have here?"
"My clan has around two thousand. But the Winged Clan is more pathetic. They have merely one thousand. If it continues this way, after half a year, our two clans will be over," said Yi Tian Mo as he was scooping.
"Master, should we leave the Perpetual Night Forest?" Yu Ruo thinned her lips. "The Perpetual Night Forest has become a perilous place to live. Soon, it will become a great battlefield. We’ve been prepared to find a new place to stay."
Shi Yan kept silent.
Although the Divine Great Land was vast, experts of the alien tribes were everywhere. It was hard to find a peaceful place.
Although the Perpetual Night Forest had dangerous factors, it was relatively safe. If he took the Dark Devil Clan and the Winged Clan out of here, if they met any pagans along the way, Shi Yan had no way to protect them.
Suddenly, he felt his realm and his power were really crappy at this moment. He wanted to protect them, but he didn't have the power to do so.
"At this moment, we should stay here. It’s not safe out there," Shi Yan pondered and then said, "I’ll try my best. Yeah, I’m going to see the Yang family on the other side to discuss with them and see what we can do."
"Do we need to go with you, Sir?" Di Shan was upright, as sharp and cold as a sword taken out of its scabbard.
He had reached the Third Sky of Spirit Realm. After the change of heaven and earth, his cultivation base had been increasing rapidly. If nothing unexpected happened, he could break through the True God Realm shortly. At that time, his power would be more tremendous.
Life of the Dark Devil Clan and the Winged Clan was strenuous. Perhaps because of this, their potential was more intimidating.
Not only Di Shan, Yu Ruo, Di Tian Mo, and Ka Ba had also reached the Second Sky of Spirit Realm. And, it was their sole effort, without many supporting resources.
If they had more cultivating materials, perhaps they would inherit the ancient Upanishad, which would boost their breakthrough speed faster.
Compared to them, members of Human Clan couldn’t have such support. The changed energy of heaven and earth in this continent didn’t bring them many benefits.
"No need," Shi Yan shook his head. "You guys just stay here. I’ll be back shortly. Then, I will give you new directions. Staying here or leaving, we will discuss later."
Shi Yan knew the general direction of the Yang family. Leaving Yi Tian Mo’s place, he flew fast. After one day, he arrived at the destination.
Members of the Yang family stayed in a vast forest with some small mountains and lakes. They didn't need to worry about water supply. Also, there were some lush spiritual herbs in the lake.
Yang Tian Emperor had refused to take shelter in the Secret Domain. He had taken his family and the Shi family to stay here safely.
Tang Yuan Nan of the Three Gods Sect was accepted by Cult Master Yun Hao of the Radiant God Cult right when they arrived in the Divine Great Land. Currently, he was one of the new Elders of the Radiant God Cult. Yun Hao trusted him greatly.
Xia Qing Hou and his Xia family’s warriors had met the hotshots of the Pure Land in the Perpetual Night Forest. After they knew Xia Xin Yan had joined the Pure Land force, the Pure Land also received them.
Lin Meng, the Master of the Pure Land, gave Xia Xin Yan face as she was taking care of the Xia family pretty well. After Xia Qing Hou had met Xia Xin Yan, he was joyful. Soon, they had joined the Pure Land and became a relatively strong force of the Pure Land.
As Tang Yuan Nan and Xia Qing Hou from the Endless Sea had a new shelter, they were satisfied with their current situation. When Yang Tian Emperor told Yun Hao that they wouldn’t go to the Secret Domain, in fact, Tang Yuan Nan and Xia Qing Hou had advised him. However, Yang Tian Emperor was stubborn, and the other two had to leave him alone begrudgingly.
The reasons why Yang Tian Emperor didn’t want to go to the Secret Domain were because he didn’t like the behavior of the seven ancient factions, and he thought that the Secret Domain wasn’t a safe place either.
Anyway, not all the members of the Yang family agreed with him. The other warriors, who had followed the Yang family and addressed Yang Tian Emperor as their Master, got to know the True God Realm warriors like Yun Hao, Lin Meng, and Nie Ruo after they arrived in the Divine Great Land. Since then, they thought their vision was widened.
Under the alien’s invasion, their hearts cracked. They didn't consider Yang Tian Emperor their master anymore. When Yang Tian Emperor declared that he wanted to stay in the Perpetual Night Forest, the seven ancient factions had recruited the warriors who wanted to detach from the Yang family.
At this moment, Yang Tian Emperor’ side had around two thousand people, including the Shi family.
However, there were many people among these two thousand people who were discontented with Yang Tian Emperor’s decision. They had asked him to not care about the Dark Devil Clan and the Winged Clan anymore, and that he should kill them all.
Those people were filled with hatred. Although the Dark Devil Clan and the Winged Clan didn’t do anything to them, because they were racist, they still hated them.
Yang Tian Emperor tried his best to comfort them. He discreetly shared a part of the hundreds of year’s accumulation, including Essence Qi crystals and food, with Yi Tian Mo and Di Shan.
His action made more people discontented. However, it could help the Dark Devil Clan and the Winged Clan get over this struggling time and survive in the Perpetual Night Forest.
Shi Yan reached the place where the Yang family sheltered. Looking at the ordinary formation outside, his heart sighed as he somehow felt sorrowful.
However, after they arrived in the Divine Great Land, compared to the other ancient factions, the Yang family wasn’t worth mentioning.
This defensive formation was made reluctantly due to the time limit and lack of cultivating materials. From his observation, he could see it was just a shell. Perhaps, it couldn’t resist even a single strike of a True God Realm warrior.
Walking to the lake, Shi Yan saw the first person he knew, Li Feng Er.
She sat by the lake indifferently, her face dispirited. Sorrow stayed in her bright eyes. She was toying some small tree branches, throwing them into the lake. She didn't notice his arrival.
From a distance, Shi Yan knew why she was sad. Shura King Li Mu was her only relative, and he was dead…
Squeak!
A window squeaked from the green stone house opposite to Li Feng Er. A man appeared behind the window, his face cold and grim.
His eyes suddenly brightened as he was cheered up. He shouted, "Little Yan is back!"
Just like the spring thunder, people of the Yang family and the Shi family were cheerful as if they were celebrating the New Year. They came from every corner, gathering at the lake. Each of them greeted Shi Yan.
From a further distance, some warriors who depended on the Yang family and the Shi Family were watching. Some of them felt happy, but the others had their faces darkened. Apparently, they weren't happy at all.
The Yang family had protected the Dark Devil Clan and the Winged Clan because of Shi Yan. In the eyes of those who got fed up, Shi Yan was the reason they were kept away from the Secret Domain. They thought that without Shi Yan, perhaps they would have been in the Secret Domain deep inside this Perpetual Night Forest, and befriended the seven ancient factions, which would ensure their safety and their future.
Shi Yan smiled brightly. He squinted as he was sensitive enough to see the part that was disgruntled. "I have something to say."
His voice wasn't high, but it reverberated in every corner of the place. Not only the Yang family standing near the lake, but also the dark-faced warriors hiding afar were startled.
Yang Tian Emperor frowned, but he didn’t intervene Shi Yan. He listened attentively while raising his arm to get his people’s attention.
