Volume 1: Frost Star City Chapter 115: Withdrawing Southward

  The other side of the Wall of Gods, Divine Realm.

  The training center of the Hua family was even larger than a sports stadium, but in the vast space, there was only one person, Hua Yingyue, sweating profusely and ceaselessly wielding her short sword to create deadly sword flowers.

  Outside the training center, Huajian Gu was secretly watching his granddaughter practice, excitedly saying: "She's indeed my granddaughter! If Moon didn't practice martial arts, that would be fine, but with just a little practice, she'll surely become unbeatable in the world!"

  Huā Jiǔzài yī páng piē le piē zuǐ, qí shì zhè zhī shì Huā Qiān Gǔ ài wū jiāo yù de xiǎng fǎ, Huā Yìng Yuè xiǎn rán bú shì xué wǔ de cái liào, tā gèng xiàng zài fā xiè xīn zhōng yù mèn, zhēn de yǐ wǔ jì lái shuō, Huā Yìng Yuè jù lí zì jǐ de tóng líng rén hái chà de yuǎo ne.

  He straightened up, and with a sigh of relief, he saw that Hua Shijiu had a sly smile on his face. He let out another breath and said, "Shijiu, do you think I'm so old and muddle-headed that I can't tell good from bad?"

  "Nineteen does not dare." Hua Nineteen hastily bowed and said.

  "In this life, I may not have anything else, but my eyesight is top-notch. It's not that I don't know about Xiaoyue's talent, it's just that our Huajia family has a sparse population." Hu Qiangu said with a sigh as he walked forward.

  "Suppose one day I'm not around, and Little Moon is left alone with no one to rely on. She'll still have to rely on herself! So even if she doesn't have a talent for martial arts, I'll do my best to give her the ability to protect herself."

  Hua Shijiu was taken aback, he hadn't expected Hua Qiangu to think so far ahead. He hastily felt a bit guilty and said: "Old master, we brothers haven't been foolish, Miss will definitely be safe for the rest of her life. Besides, Miss will eventually get married, with our family's status, it's not like we can't choose from the entire divine realm. When the time comes, we'll find a suitable match for Miss, we can't let her suffer."

  Hua Qiangu looked at Hua Shijiu with some annoyance and said, "Are you really not understanding or pretending not to understand? My reputation in the divine realm has long been ruined! People's hearts are no longer ancient, even if I find a good family for Yue'er, who knows when I die, will they vent their anger on Little Moon?"

  Hua Shijiu furrowed his brow. Speaking of reputation, the Hua family was indeed notorious, from top to bottom they had offended everyone at least once. Anyone who married Hua Yingyue would likely be after the Hua family's wealth, or else be coerced by Hua Qiangu's tyrannical power.

  After all, it's better not to mess with someone like Huajian Gu. It's not a bad thing to form an alliance through marriage. At least you don't have to worry about Hua Laohei suddenly flying into a rage and showing up at your doorstep one day.

  But none of these are reliable. As long as Huajiang is alive, Huayingyue can live a good life. If he dies, those who want to find trouble with the Hua family will inevitably make things difficult for Huayingyue.

  Huā shí jiǔ xiǎng le yī xiǎng dào le: "Lǎo ye, xiàn zài gǎi guò lái hái huì dé jí, cóng jīn wǎng hòu hé nà xiē gū piào jiāo hǎo jiù shì."

  Translation:

  Huashijiu thought for a moment and said: "Old master, it's still not too late to change now, from now on just get along with those guys."

  "Humbug!" Old Hua's face turned dark, and he cursed loudly: "Dream on! I'm going to make these guys fear me! Make them bow down to me. Not even a door can stop me!"

  Huā shí jiǔ softly sighed, Huā qiān gǔ had this unchangeable bad temper, thinking of not dragging down Huā yìng yuè was also difficult, if one day Huā yìng yuè was schemed against, it would also be because of Huā lǎo hēi's involvement.

  The master and servant arrived at the edge of the flower sea. The grandeur of the flower family was really hard to describe in words, their fish pond stretched as far as the eye could see.

  Others raise koi in their ponds, but Hua Laohei thinks koi are not fat and delicious enough, so he raises whales instead! Whenever he's unhappy, he catches two and roasts them to eat.

  "Has Su Dong been found?" asked Huacheng Gu, gazing out at his own vast ocean, in a low voice.

  "No news has come, and everyone is dispersing. Even the northern wall of the Gods' Domain will soon send someone over." said Hua Nineteen.

  "Hua Qian Gu waved his hand and said: 'How could that place be possible? If you want to find it, look for it in a higher place.'"

  "What's going on?" asked Hua Shi Jiu, puzzled.

  "Think about it, if there wasn't a powerful backing, how would Su Dong dare to bite off Yan Fugui's finger? And who in the north could set up a transfer portal leading to the Divine Martial Battlefield and forge an identity that no one can investigate?"

  "So don't waste any more time in the North, put all your manpower in the Divine Realm. Investigate carefully and don't let anything like illegitimate children slip through." Huajian Gu said while analyzing.

  Huā nodded nineteen times and said, "I understand. However, people still have to go through it. Recently, the situation on the north side of the Wall of Gods is not good, some things have fallen from the sky, according to the rules, the Divine Realm will organize a group of young people to go for training, Miss seems to want to take a look."

  "Oh, I see." Huajian Gu nodded and said: "It's good to go for a walk and clear your mind. To be honest, the Divine Realm owes an apology to the people of the North, turning their homeland into a buffer zone. If Xiaoyue wants to go, let her go, and bring more people with her."

  "Yes." Huā Jiǔ replied.

  ……

  A wall of gods separated Su Dong and Hua Yingyue, but this wall was not insurmountable, it's just that the northerners would never be able to cross this wall to the south, passing through the wall was only a privilege of the divine realm.

  Hua Yingyue was frustrated and annoyed because of Su Dong, so she took the target from the martial arts field to vent her anger. At the same time, Su Dong was busy taking advantage of the fire to loot.

  Jiao Lian was forced to dig up over a hundred dan medicine, compensating Su Dong for that black tree fern. Seeing that she really didn't have much left, Su Dong finally let her go.

  Looking back, Su Dong squatted on the ground, staring at that withered black wood fern, and let out a deep sigh, as if it was a pity.

  Kaiya and Korin walked over, Kaiya said: "Black Mokkei is a herb, originally it can only live for one summer, but your plant has survived a harsh winter, it's already a miracle."

  Gu Ling Dao said: "Jiao Lianlian is after all a Dan Master, why must you extort her dan medicine? With your current cultivation, her dan medicine can hardly have any effect."

  Su Dong smiled slightly and said: "Some elixirs were exchanged for her life, she has already made a profit, I originally wanted to kill her."

  At this time, a very familiar voice rang out in the dark night, "But you killed Huafu Chun! The Star Society will take revenge on you with all its might."

  Su Dong turned his head and couldn't help but laugh, saying: "Shan Meng? How come you're so sneaky, coming all the way here just to hide far away?"

  Shan Meng said, "Isn't it to help you clean up the mess? The people outside have all been killed by me. Now they can only suspect you, but there is no evidence or proof. To be honest, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have bothered to take action myself."

  Su Dong nodded slightly, Shuang Meng was a rather mysterious one among the eight great beast kings, not many words, liked to take action, taking advantage of the night to deal with those guys on the periphery, which was exactly Shuang Meng's usual method. At the same time, it also showed that Shuang Meng's mind was still very deep, unlike Hui Yu and Gu Ling, who were all straightforward in nature.

  "I just came from the north, and the situation there is not optimistic. Let's go back first." Shan Mang said in a low voice.

  ……

  Hàn Xīng Chéng. Bái Jiā.

  Su Dong first returned home and asked his father and brother how they were doing, then turned around and came to the backyard.

  Bai Xiaoya and Bai Qing were overjoyed to see Su Dong, who loved drinking tea. Bai Xiaoya personally brewed the tea, and also brought out some prepared snacks, which made several of the beast kings frown.

  Bai Xiaoya was still a goddess of the Ling Beast clan, serving Su Dong like a servant, making them feel uncomfortable.

  Su Dong didn't mind, nibbled on a green bean cake. Took two sips of tea, and rushed along the way, Su Dong was indeed a bit hungry too.

  Senmu cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "I've spent a long time searching, but there's no news of Lord Tod at the North Border. This is strange to me. Since Lady Viola has been reborn, where is Lord Tod?"

  Gu Ling Dao said, "Do you need to say this? My clansmen are the most numerous and have long since scoured the entire North. Not only can't Lord Tuo De find them, but also Bai Nian, Lie Yan, and Sui Ya, these three guys I couldn't find either. Logically speaking, when Zi Ya was born, they shouldn't be without news, at least they should come to pay their respects."

  The three people Gu Ling mentioned were the Tiger King, Snake King and Mouse King among the Eight Great Beast Kings. Su Dong had known this for a long time.

  Hui Yu and others sighed one after another, worried about Todd's comfort. Bai Xiao Ya didn't understand any of this, she just stared foolishly at Su Dong again.

  The situation in the North had already been heard by Su Dong on his way, and the summer offensive of the Dark Blood Clan was indeed unexpected and fierce!

  Now their vanguard has almost reached the country of Daye, which is the last stronghold of the four northern countries. Once lost, it will only be a matter of time before Shengxing and Hansheng City are in danger.

  Hui Yu glanced at Su Dong and habitually asked: "Su Dong, what do you think about Lord Todd and the North Territory?"

  Su Dong smiled slightly and said: "Although we are friends, but Todd's affairs are not what I should worry about, where he is, you don't need to ask me."

  Huiyu nodded, Su Dong's attitude had been clear for a long time, he would not participate in the internal strife of the Spiritual Beast clan. He asked because of his trust in Su Dong and his understanding of Su Dong's thinking ability.

  "What about the situation in the North?" asked Huiyu.

  Su Dong said: "First of all, we need to clarify a proposition, whose north is the north after all? Those cities are not mine anyway, if they're lost, then they're lost."

  "Besides, I'm a man of few words, even if you throw me into the northern border, it's impossible to stop the Dark Blood Clan. Everything depends on the reaction from the south."

  "Besides the four northern countries, there are also Sheng Xing, Lin Xing, Dong Chuan and Qin He in the south. Each of these countries is larger and more powerful than the sum of the four northern countries. If they were willing to unite against the Dark Blood Demon, I'd be happy to lend a small hand without putting my life at risk."

  "Assuming that several major empires are not concerned about the invasion of the northern border, even if I am anxious, it is the eunuch who is anxious, not the emperor, and it is beneath me."

  The various beast kings nodded slightly, Su Dong's words were very wise. Although he was now at a high level and had strong combat power, he didn't need to fight bravely for the sake of defending those empires. The empires belonged to those old emperors, not to the Su family.

  After a pause, Su Dong said: "However, you are different. The loss of the northern territory will also affect the survival of your spiritual beast clan. So I suggest withdrawing to the south first. Along the way, I saw many retreating civilians. If you can help, it's better to help them. After all, the civilians are innocent."

  "Moreover, the large number of people who have lost their homes are pouring into the south, putting pressure on those southern emperors as well. They will be forced to make a decision quickly, and only when they decide to take action can your spiritual beast clan take action, join forces, and compete with those dark blood clans."

  The various beast kings nodded one after another, Su Dong's words were quite reliable. As a human being, Su Dong had already made enough consideration for the Ling Beast clan and couldn't be asked to do more.

  Bai Xiaoya's eyes flashed, she had been waiting for Su Dong to make a decision for herself. Su Dong said this and Bai Xiaoya hurriedly asked: "Su Dong brother, does that mean we're going south?"

  Su Dong said with a serious expression: "That's right, we can't just be scapegoats. If there's going to be a fight, let those emperors go first. They've been acting high and mighty for so many years, it's about time they take a stand."

  "I admire those warriors of the Spiritual Beast Clan, they are real men! They are loyal! So, if you have a conscience, don't let your clansmen suffer in vain."
