Chapter 2201: Sudden Upheaval!
The sudden change caused the newly formed Five Tribe Alliance to disintegrate directly.
With the withdrawal of Li Gang and Jiang Yi, the remaining trio of Old Elmer all wore faces of helplessness and regret.
In truth, they wished to persuade the two to stay, but unfortunately, Li Gang and Jiang Yi did not give them the chance.
Because caught in their anger, the two were very irrational at the moment.
"There’s at most half a year until the Heart of the World is destroyed. At such a critical time, for something like this to happen suddenly, I worry it will affect the whole situation." Helic said with a frown.
Old Elmer sighed, then said, "There will certainly be an impact. Without their participation, it’s undoubtedly very difficult for the three of us to break the seal of the barrier just by our strength."
"What should we do then? Should we call them back?" Helic said, "After all, this concerns the survival of the entire Ancient World. In front of such a major issue, I think some personal grudges are nothing at all!"
"That’s just your own opinion. If this happened to you, would you still think the same?" Arthur glanced at him and said, "Let’s make an analogy. If at this time, I took someone to kill your clansmen, would you let me go?"
"Of course not!" Helic exclaimed without hesitation.
Arthur rolled his eyes and said, "There you have it. Unless they completely resolve this matter, it would be better not to mention the Five Tribe Alliance again in the future."
"Instead of getting caught up in their matters, we should think hard about how to solve the issue of the barrier."
Old Elmer nodded and said, "Indeed, breaking the barrier is what we should focus on. I actually have some ideas that might permanently abolish the barrier."
"Permanently abolish the barrier? Doesn’t that mean people outside could freely enter the Ancient World then?" Arthur asked with a frown.
"Yes, but it’s not an issue. Once we get out, anyone daring to oppose us will die." Old Elmer’s eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent as he said, "As for those who choose to submit to us, it doesn’t matter if they enter the Ancient World."
"You make sense. When can this plan be realized?" Arthur asked again.
Old Elmer thought seriously, then said, "I only have a preliminary concept now. To perfect it, it’ll probably take at least a month."
"This plan is better than our previous one. Even though I thought of it on the spot, it’s entirely feasible for the three of us to execute."
Hearing this, both Arthur and Helic felt relieved.
Arthur then said, "In that case, let’s meet again in a month. If you need help, just send someone to inform me."
"Same here," Helic said.
After all, each of them were leaders, usually busy with affairs. If it weren’t for the barrier’s matter, it would’ve been difficult for them to gather. After exchanging a few more words, the three then left.
On the other side.
Xiao Zheng was unaware that his plan had already worked.
After killing twenty-eight Human Clan elites in Jiyue Town, he plunged deep into the mountains. The Ancient World’s vastness provided him many places to hide.
By finding a random spot to burrow into, even strong opponents of the same realm would struggle to find him.
"I wonder what it’s like outside now."
"I hope these two fires of mine will have miraculous effects."
After concluding his training, Xiao Zheng’s thoughts were immediately drawn to outside matters.
If he could single-handedly incite a war between the two great factions, his journey in the Ancient World would prove extremely rewarding. However, due to the lack of information, he couldn’t know the current situation outside.
"Maybe I should go out and see."
Xiao Zheng looked at the sky; dawn was breaking already.
He extinguished the campfire and quietly soared into the clouds.
At that moment, he was on Human Clan territory.
Since killing the twenty-eight in Jiyue Town, he hadn’t left Human Clan grounds. He now headed towards a town named Qingfeng Town.
Like Jiyue Town, Qingfeng Town also had many permanent residents.
Yesterday, Xiao Zheng had already ascertained the number of elites in Qingfeng Town. There were two more than Jiyue Town, totaling thirty experts above the Martial Saint Realm. Initially, he planned to target Qingfeng Town, but after some thought, he chose Jiyue Town, which was closer to Witch Clan territory.
Half an hour later, he reached the skies over Qingfeng Town.
But to his surprise, the atmosphere in Qingfeng Town was very peaceful, without any sign of impending battle: "Does this mean my plan didn’t work, and they didn’t fall for it?"
"But it shouldn’t be, I left no flaws yesterday, how could they suspect?"
"Or perhaps my fire was too small?"
Thinking of this, his eyes gleamed coldly.
To ensure the plan was foolproof, Xiao Zheng decided to fan the flames further. He planned to let Qingfeng Town follow in Jiyue Town’s footsteps and turn this spark into a raging wildfire!
With quick action, Xiao Zheng, using just one strike, split Qingfeng Town in half!
The Human Clan experts were promptly alerted, appearing one after another!
Altogether, thirty Supreme Realm and above experts soared into the sky. It was an absolutely shocking scene!
But compared to Xiao Zheng, they were mere pretenders!
The battle lasted less than five minutes, ending with Xiao Zheng’s victory!
All thirty Human Clan elites in Qingfeng Town were slain by Xiao Zheng in the sky, not even leaving bodies behind! After completing all this, Xiao Zheng quickly departed, with no intention of lingering!
Killing one per ten steps, traversing a thousand miles without pause!
This described Xiao Zheng perfectly at this moment!
After dealing with the experts of Qingfeng Town, Xiao Zheng rushed to the next location at top speed, another Human Clan town, where he again engaged in a fierce battle!
Combining the two battles, the Human Clan lost sixty-five Supreme Realm and above experts!
This day was destined to be remembered in history!
