The Village Chief and Xiao Lingyu had expected Lanquan Village's defeat. If not for the fact that Xiao Lingyu still had some tricks up his sleeve, the Linggu Valley would have been destroyed a long time ago.
Although the Linggu Valley was not as powerful as Lanquan Village, Lanquan Village did not have any Heavenly God experts either.
Without a true powerhouse, facing the alliance of many mountain villages and the alliance of Heavenly God powerhouses, any small mountain village could only surrender or be destroyed.
These people had escaped from the battlefield. They did not dare to return to Lanquan Village because they did not know what the village was like now.
The main force of the Lanquan Village had already been defeated. Most likely, the entire Lanquan Village was either massacred or forced to swear allegiance to the alliance.
"Lanquan Village is only three months away from here. I don't think it's safe for us to stay here," Xiao Lingyu said worriedly.
"There are two other villages near the Blue Spring Village, but they are not in our direction. The alliance will most likely try to subdue those two villages and will not approach us. After all, beyond this mountain range is a large grassland, and beyond the grassland is a vast and boundless forest. We should not attract the alliance's attention in this corner." The old village chief casually analyzed.
Xiao Lingyu did not insist on his opinion because he did not have a good reason to convince everyone. However, now that the Linggu Valley had settled down again, he had plans to leave the village.
Although he had not reached the Heavenly God stage, at least he was not afraid of the Heavenly God silver-haired Wolf King. Even if he left alone, there should not be much danger.
In the past few days, Xiao Lingyu had asked around and found out that the greatest danger in this vast forest was the silver-haired Wolf King and other Heavenly God beasts. This was why many villages required villagers to reach the Heavenly God stage before they could leave the village to seek greater development.
With his reputation in the Linggu Valley and his contributions to the Linggu Valley, it should not be a problem for him to ask the Village Chief for a relatively safe route to the city.
This was indeed the case. Xiao Lingyu went to the Village Chief and told him his request. Although the Village Chief felt that it was a pity and wanted to persuade him to stay, he still gave a jade slip to Xiao Lingyu.
Naturally, this jade slip had a map of the route engraved on it, as well as some fairly detailed introductions and reminders.
Xiao Lingyu did not look at it in detail. After a rough glance, he put it away and returned to his temporary residence.
Since he was going to leave, he naturally had to say goodbye to a few people he was on good terms with. The first people Xiao Lingyu's Yueru came to mind...
Kang Ping lived next door. When he heard that Xiao Lingyu was going to leave the Linggu Valley, he was also very reluctant. He even said, "If it wasn't for the fact that the Linggu Valley has just stabilized and still needs manpower, I would have gone with you."
As for Yueru, when she heard this news, she was first stunned. Then, her expression became sad, disappointed, and helpless …
Having grown up in this small mountain village, Yueru's thoughts were very simple. She did have a good impression of Xiao Lingyu. Otherwise, she would not have cooperated with the Village Chief to lie. However, even though she knew that it was a lie, she was more willing to believe it was true because of that little bit of good feeling in her heart. She was also willing to make the best of it.
However, now that Xiao Lingyu was going to leave, Yueru instantly felt as if the whole world was about to collapse in front of her eyes. She had been thinking hard these past few days and was extremely conflicted. She had never thought that this would be the result. In her original plan, the worst-case scenario was that everyone would treat the marriage agreement as if no one had mentioned it at all. Then, time would prove everything …
"Will you come back?" Yueru's eyes glistened with tears as she asked.
"I can't say for sure. If there's a chance, I will definitely come back to take a look," Xiao Lingyu said uncertainly.
Only Xiao Lingyu knew that he did not come to the Realm of the Gods to enjoy life. He wanted to find his wife. He also wanted to do his best to complete the mission that his cheap master had given him. He wanted to take back the Primal Chaos Spectrum that he did not even know where it was. If there was a chance, he also wanted to see the Jiang Lanyue sisters who had helped him before, as well as their cousin.
Xiao Lingyu estimated that it was impossible to complete these missions with his current strength. He still needed to continue improving.
Yueru was silent. She remained silent.
Xiao Lingyu also sat with her for a while. When night fell, he stood up and said, "I won't disturb you anymore. I will set off early tomorrow morning."
When Xiao Lingyu walked out of the room, the tears that had been swirling in Yueru's eyes turned into two streams of clear tears and flowed down from the corners of her eyes.
Xiao Lingyu did not see Yueru's tears. He also did not expect Yueru to have any thoughts about him. He already had a wife, and not just one. Naturally, he did not dare to ask for too much. In his opinion, a girl like Yueru, who was as calm as still water, should find an honest and honest man to live the rest of her life peacefully.
In the wee hours of the morning, the sky had just begun to brighten. The entire Linggu Valley was still very quiet, but Xiao Lingyu was already standing outside his room.
Generally speaking, these villagers would not sleep at night. Most of them would meditate and cultivate in their own rooms.
Although the restrictions on cultivators at night in the Realm of the Gods were much stronger than during the day, the effects of cultivating at night were also much better than during the day.
Stepping into the thick fog, Xiao Lingyu walked towards the entrance of the village.
No one came to see him off because no one knew that he would leave so early. The old Village Chief had arranged for him to leave in the early morning as well.
However, after taking a few steps, Xiao Lingyu felt as if someone was secretly watching him. He could not help but stop in his tracks and look around. However, he did not discover anything.
Naturally, there were people guarding the entrance of the village. However, they only thought that Xiao Lingyu had some matters to attend to. Thus, after greeting him, they smiled and opened the village door.
Xiao Lingyu was somewhat reluctant to part with the village, but he still resolutely walked out of the valley. However, he was just like ordinary people who were about to go on a long journey and looked back with every step they took.
Under the cover of the night and fog, Xiao Lingyu's figure gradually disappeared from the eyes of the villagers at the village entrance.
At this moment, Yueru also arrived at the entrance of the village. She looked into the distance with a face full of tears, although she definitely could not see too far.
At this moment, the villagers at the entrance of the village could not help but think of the marriage contract. Thus, they felt that Yueru's reaction was very normal. Not only did they not go forward to comfort her, they even looked on from the side and secretly laughed. They did not know that Xiao Lingyu might never return after leaving this time.
After sorting out his emotions, Xiao Lingyu began to hurry along as he carefully studied the route he had taken.
The route started from the original Linggu Valley and ended at a city in the Realm of the Gods called Kun City. Although there were many twists and turns in the middle, the overall route was still a straight line. There were close to ten thousand small villages like the Linggu Valley on this route.
If he set off from the original Linggu Valley, the next stop would be Silvermoon Village.
What surprised Xiao Lingyu was that the current Linggu Valley, Lanquan Village, the original Linggu Valley, and Silvermoon Village were all on the same line.
This made Xiao Lingyu vaguely feel that there was a problem, but he could not figure out what the problem was. Thus, he continued to move forward.
In order to avoid trouble, Xiao Lingyu asked Foodie to come along. He stood on Foodie's back and allowed Foodie to gallop at full speed.
Xiao Lingyu and Foodie's speed was naturally much faster than the speed of the Linggu Valley's villagers moving together. The journey that would have taken a large group three months to complete only took him slightly more than ten days.
As Lanquan Village had already been conquered by the alliance, Xiao Lingyu did not want to encounter any more obstacles along the way. Thus, he asked Foodie to go around Lanquan Village.
Another half a month later, Xiao Lingyu arrived at the Linggu Valley where the original Linggu Valley was located. However, he discovered that there were cultivators standing guard on all four sides of the valley. Furthermore, from afar, he could see that those cultivators were wearing silver armor.
It was obvious that the alliance had taken over this valley.
"Their goal in attacking the Linggu Valley seems to be just for this valley. But what use do they have for this valley?"
As Xiao Lingyu pondered, he asked Foodie to leave this valley and head towards Silvermoon Village.
Xiao Lingyu had already made a round trip from this valley to Silvermoon Village. Thus, he was relatively familiar with the route. His speed was even faster. In just over twenty days, he arrived at the surging river. The mountain peak where Silvermoon Village was located was also nearby.
He did not linger around Silvermoon Village. Xiao Lingyu took out a boat-shaped Dharma treasure and carried himself to the other side of the river. Foodie was then invited into the Spiritual Beast Pouch.
Xiao Lingyu chose to cross the river. He was already very far away from Silvermoon Village. However, he did not expect that he would still be discovered. Furthermore, a few small boats chased after him. However, by the time they caught up, Xiao Lingyu had already reached the shore. He then rode Foodie and sped away.
In the following year, Xiao Lingyu passed by over twenty villages. Along the way, he encountered ferocious beasts in the Heavenly God Stage. However, even if he could not defeat them, he could still easily escape.
However, after more than a year had passed, he suddenly stopped because he discovered a problem.
Starting from the Blue Spring Village, there were more than 20 villages along the way. Unexpectedly, there were cultivators wearing silver armor stationed there. Later, he asked around and found out that these more than 20 villages had joined the alliance.
The crux of the problem was that these twenty villages were on the same route.
Based on this, if the alliance wanted to continue advancing after conquering Lanquan Village, they would not choose the villages to the left and right of Lanquan Village. Instead, they would advance towards the valley where the Linggu Valley was located.
Regarding this, Xiao Lingyu sent a message to the Village Chief. However, as the distance was too far, the Village Chief could not receive his message.
In the Realm of the Gods, there were not many Divine Messaging Devices. The Divine Messaging Device that the cultivators in the small villages had was the same. The Divine Messaging Device that Xiao Lingyu had was of the lower grade. It could not send a message more than twenty thousand miles away.
