"Zhou Wen … Bad news …" Yu Qiubai anxiously found Zhou Wen.
"What happened?" Zhou Wen looked at Yu Qiubai in puzzlement, unsure what had happened to make him so nervous.
"There's been a large-scale break-in in Luoyang. An Sheng led the troops back to Luoyang to provide reinforcements. Now, the troops have already left Guide City …" Yu Qiubai said worriedly.
"How many people did An Sheng and company take away?" Zhou Wen asked after some thought.
"Because we left in a hurry, we didn't bring anyone with us. After the skeletons lost their suppression, they charged out in large numbers again. With our current strength, it's very difficult to stop all the skeletons from charging out …" Yu Qiubai explained the current situation.
When Zhou Wen heard that, he knew what had happened. The so-called break-out creatures wreaking havoc in Luoyang was just an excuse. An Sheng had likely made up his mind to keep them here.
"Teacher, take someone to the school's entrance and set up a signboard. Then, if anyone wishes to enter the school and obtain our protection, get them to sign this contract." Zhou Wen handed a document to Yu Qiubai.
Yu Qiubai opened the document and carefully read its contents. Then, his expression gradually turned strange.
"Isn't that a little too inhumane?" Yu Qiubai said hesitantly.
"Since they have already chosen to leave, they naturally have to pay a price if they want to stay. Otherwise, people will only think that we are a place that collects trash in the future. They can come and go as they please. What rules are there to speak of?" Zhou Wen said indifferently.
All Zhou Wen could do now was use the school as a base and recruit some people. When he found a suitable place, he could begin building his city.
Zhou Wen's idea was good, but there were too few people under him who could do things. There were too many people who sought refuge with him. Many of them had entered without taking the initiative to sign a contract with Zhou Wen's people, believing that they could bluff their way through.
Zhou Wen also knew that many people had snuck in. It could even be said that less than a tenth of the total number of people had signed a contract. Most of them had snuck in without signing a contract.
However, Zhou Wen didn't take it to heart. He only told Yu Qiubai to lecture more and tell those people the consequences of not signing the contract.
Zhou Wen got his Companion Beasts to guard the area near the school as humans from nearby areas constantly came to seek refuge.
Most people had no choice but to seek refuge with Zhou Wen. It was impossible to charge from Guide to Luoyang without sufficient strength. All they could do was seek refuge with Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen wasn't in the mood to care about those things. When he arrived at Sui Emperor's tomb again, it had already been four days since he released the little animals.
In theory, if the power of the torch could really affect them, then they should not be far from death, or should be dead already.
Don't die … please don't die … Zhou Wen prayed silently in his heart as he walked deeper into the tomb.
If the tiny animals died from the influence of the torch's power, it would be impossible to build a human city here. Zhou Wen could only search for other dimensional zones, and he might not be able to find a suitable one.
After entering the Sui Emperor's tomb, Zhou Wen was stunned by what he saw.
Not only did the little animals he had put in not die, but they were also alive and healthy. What was even more frightening was that there were many cubs of the little animals in the grass.
Zhou Wen was overjoyed. From the looks of it, the power of the Sui Emperor Torch was not the acceleration of time, nor would it kill the animals.
On the contrary, the vitality emitted by the torch would make the animals stronger and healthier.
Let's test a few more times. If there are no accidents, I should be able to start building the city. Zhou Wen watched as the chick sucked away the flames on the torch. He could clearly see that the feathers on the chick seemed to have become more lustrous.
Not daring to be careless, Zhou Wen did some more tests. The results showed that the power in Sui Emperor's tomb had a strong life-enhancing effect on plants and animals, but it did not age them.
"This is somewhat similar to my power of Renhuang," Ye Futian said. Zhou Wen suspected that the Ancient Sovereign Sutra was very likely created by the Sui Emperor. His original intention was similar to the Ancient Sovereign Sutra that Zhou Wen had comprehended. However, because no one could take this path, they took another path.
Zhou Wen took the opportunity to study the Sui Emperor statue. Ordinary flames couldn't ignite the torch. The torch looked like it was carved from stone and had no fuel. Ordinary flames naturally couldn't ignite the stone.
However, when the chick's phoenix flames touched the torch, the torch would immediately ignite. However, no matter how long it burned, it wouldn't damage the stone torch.
Moreover, the chick was very interested in the phoenix flames after the torch burned. Every time Zhou Wen asked it to suck away the flames, the chick would be very excited.
Zhou Wen used a few flame abilities, but he couldn't ignite the torch. He was still unwilling to give up, so he switched to the Ancient Sovereign Sutra. The Human Sovereign that looked like the sun appeared in front of Zhou Wen.
As soon as the Human Sovereign appeared, Zhou Wen immediately noticed something strange.
The Sui Emperor statue that was originally motionless was now overflowing with vitality.
When the chick used its phoenix flames to ignite the torch, only the torch emitted vitality and flames. The Sui Emperor statue's body didn't have any changes.
But now, the Sui Emperor statue's body actually began to emit vitality. Although it wasn't as strong as before, it made Zhou Wen a little happy.
With a thought, the Human Sovereign reached out and pressed the stone torch in the Sui Emperor statue's hand.
The torch that couldn't be ignited by ordinary flames started burning the moment it touched the Human Sovereign.
Not only the torch, but the entire Sui Emperor statue started burning as if gasoline was poured on it.
The flames and vitality on the Sui Emperor's body were transmitted to the Human Sovereign at the same time. It made the already dazzling Human Sovereign even more dazzling.
Zhou Wen could clearly feel that the Ancient Sovereign Sutra in his body was circulating crazily. The surrounding vitality kept surging into his body.
Boom!
A deafening sound suddenly entered Zhou Wen's ears. The burning Sui Emperor statue actually moved.
The Sui Emperor statue that was made of stone slowly lifted its legs and stood up from the stone throne. The vitality on his body was getting stronger and stronger, making it hard to see his body clearly.
Especially that pair of eyes, it was like two two million watt searchlights, staring at Zhou Wen and the Human Sovereign.
