Wushan township. Li Yue had transmigrated to this place. It could be considered his hometown.
Although many years had passed, he still felt some nostalgia for this place. After all, this was the place where he had grown up. Li Yue clearly remembered that when he had transmigrated, if it hadn't been for the help of his neighbors, he probably would have died long ago.
Thus, Li Yue's feelings towards Wushan township were very deep.
"Wushan township …" Li Yue stood in the center of Wushan township. Looking around, he couldn't help but sigh.
East of Wushan township, Wushan Mountain didn't look much different than it had in the past. However, this town had changed too much. The vast Wushan township had become a desolate place. This was no longer a place for humans, but a den for magical beasts.
"It's even more desolate now!" Twenty years ago, Li Yue had come here once. Now that he had come here again, he saw an even more desolate scene.
Things had remained the same, but people had changed!
"Those neighbors of the past, those aunts, uncles, old hunters …" Li Yue thought back to the bustling scene of Wushan township. Every morning, the children and youths would gather in the empty area east of town to train, while the adults would begin work.
Back then, he himself had started from the most basic Ki Building Stance, slowly training his body, slowly becoming stronger. To this day, he could still remember the smile on the face of the Baruch clan's guard when he had praised him. It was as if it had just happened yesterday!
But … none of this would happen again. The vast majority of people had died.
"It's already … become history." Li Yue sighed. Although he hadn't personally seen how Wushan township had been destroyed, he could roughly guess what had happened.
Perhaps this was fate. Things that had been decided by fate could not be changed.
Standing in a corner of Wushan township, Li Yue stared at the ruins of the town. His gaze grew deeper and deeper, and more and more hazy.
Near a broken wall, a magical beast cub was howling. East of the town, under an old tree, a few young cloudbirds were perched in their nests, chirping. On an abandoned street covered with weeds, a Inferno Rat was digging through the rubble of a house …
There were no traces of humans left. Aside from the ruins, Wushan township had already become a part of nature, a part of the magical beast paradise.
Li Yue didn't pay any attention to all of this. He just watched quietly, standing in a corner as if there was no one there to disturb him, and no one to worry about him.
…
Just as Li Yue was standing in the ruins of Wushan township, in the distant skies, two figures were flying towards him at high speed.
It was Linley and Bebe!
"Boss, I can't find the undulations of that deification, but we're almost at the Sacred Alliance!" Bei Bei, who was wearing a straw hat, said.
"Yes!" Linley nodded. In his heart, he was beginning to understand. The Holy Alliance. Wushan township. When he connected the two together, it tugged at his heartstrings.
"It's been a long time since I went back. I wonder what Wushan township has become … let's go take a look!" He said in a low voice.
Ever since Apocalypse Day, the entire Holy Union had been engulfed by the wave of magical beasts. Naturally, Wushan township had been affected as well. All of the former territories of the Kingdom of Fenlai had become a paradise for magical beasts.
Linley had almost forgotten the last time he had returned to Wushan township.
The two moved at high speed towards Wushan township. But what they didn't know was that behind them, a figure was following them from afar, maintaining a stable distance. Using his divine sense to lock onto them, he slowly followed them.
Anras had his eyes locked onto Linley and Bebe. As he flew, he waited for an opportunity.
At the same time, he didn't forget to report the situation to Sadista. Although Sadista's divine sense could easily scan this area, as a subordinate, Anras didn't want to be scolded by Sadista over such a small matter.
Even if Sadista didn't care, he still had to take the initiative to report.
"Lord Sadista, Bebe and Linley haven't been separated this entire time. It seems we won't be able to find an opportunity in a short period of time!"
While communicating through divine sense, Anras spoke to Sadista, who was far, far away.
"Wait! I refuse to believe that they won't be separated for the rest of their lives. If there's really no other way, then come up with a plan to lure Bebe away from Linley's side. As for the specifics, you can do as you see fit. If you don't have enough people, you can do it yourself. I just need the results! " Sadista's cold voice rang out in Anras' mind, causing Anras to shiver.
"Understood. Your subordinate will make the arrangements!"
"Right!"
…..
Two rays of light flew through the air, coming to a halt in the air above Wushan township.
"We're here, Bebe!" Linley stared at Wushan township below him, filled with emotion. After so many years, Wushan township had indeed become completely barren. Even the ancestral home of his clan, the ancestral home of the Baruch clan, had become the lair of magical beasts.
"Boss … Boss …" Just as Linley was lost in thought, Bebe's voice suddenly rang out, filled with surprise.
"Hrm?" Linley turned his head. "What is it, Bebe?"
"Boss, look down there. Over there … is someone standing there?" Bebe pointed downwards, at a corner of the ruins of the town.
Indeed, there was a black-haired, black-eyed youth standing there. He just stood there quietly, like a statue. If it weren't for the fact that Bebe's eyes were so sharp, Linley really wouldn't have noticed him.
But this didn't make sense.
"I've already scanned the entire Wushan township with my divine sense. Why haven't I found this person?" Linley was surprised as well.
His divine sense had scanned the area, but there was no one there at all. Aside from the ruins, there was nothing there.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe.
"Boss, I didn't find him either!" Bebe's face was solemn. "This person is very dangerous. He gives me the same feeling as Grandpa Beirut!"
"Lord Beirut?" Linley's face changed.
At this moment, he took a closer look and noticed something different.
That person was simply too calm. He didn't seem to care at all about Linley and Bebe's arrival. In addition, Linley's divine sense couldn't scan him, nor could he sense how powerful he was. But upon closer inspection, he could sense that this person … was unfathomably powerful.
He was an expert.
"Bebe, are you certain … that he gives you the same feeling as Lord Beirut?" Linley said solemnly.
Bebe was a divine beast, and a blessed Godeater Rat at that. His sense for danger was extraordinary. Naturally, it would be very hard for him to make a mistake.
"Not the same. They're about the same!" Bebe shook his head. "How should I put it? The feeling I have is that Grandpa Beirut is a bit stronger. But of course, this fellow isn't weak either. As for the specifics, I can't say for sure! "
"A Highgod. And a top-tier Highgod. But … why has he appeared in Wushan township? Why is he standing here? And … "
Linley didn't understand. Why would such an expert appear in a place like Wushan township? It seemed as though he had been here for a long time.
For a moment, Linley didn't know what to do. Should he go down and pay his respects, or should he just flee?
If he fled, then if that expert chased after him, then he and Bebe would definitely die.
After all, this was a top-tier Highgod.
Just as Linley and Bei Bei were at a loss as to what to do, an unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out in their minds.
"You are Linley, right?"
This voice was as calm as water, and it rang out in Linley's mind.
"Don't worry. I won't harm you. If you don't mind, you can come over for a chat!"
