Chapter 190: He Was Not Worthy
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Half a month later, a few True realm experts from the Roc clan returned.
All of them looked haggard and worried.
“How is it?”
A few rocs came out from the canine orc’s territory and looked expectantly at a few upper level True realm rocs.
When they saw the expressions of the True realm experts, their hearts suddenly dropped.
“They’ve escaped! How is it here?”
The True realm expert leading them couldn’t care less about being offended and asked.
“The Fox orcs have also escaped.”
“Damn the Dragon Clan, report the situation here back to the clan. In the future, kill the Dragons whenever you see them!”
“Too detestable. The more afraid they are of us getting our hands on the thing in Li Mu’s hands, the more we will want to get whatever it is in Li Mu’s hands.”
“But now, we have already lost track of Li Mu. So much time has passed. The real Li Mu must have already received the news long ago, he must have already prepared several methods to escape.”
Hundreds of thousands of miles away, at the bottom of a certain sea.
In the Dragon Clan’s territory.
Ao Guangzhi took the jade scroll and scanned it with his divine consciousness.
“Humph, it seems that there are still people who don’t want the Roc clan to get Li Mu. It’s just that making us take the blame is too unethical.”
He crushed the jade scroll, and the corner of his mouth twitched. His dragon whiskers kept flashing.
“Young master, should we clarify this matter?”
“No need! We and the Roc clan have always been at odds. The result of clarifying or not clarifying is the same. It’s better to take the blame and give the opponents of the Roc clan more time.”
Ao Guangzhi smiled.
“Yes! Young Master is wise.”
“How’s Ao Feng’s situation?”
“Young Master Ao Feng is not going to make it this time. You know how powerful the Roc clan is. Compared to what the Roc clan has lost, this is nothing.”
In Tianyao, on the Mu River, a large ship was going against the current.
The Xuantian sect banner at the bow of the ship was very dazzling, fluttering in the wind.
The cabin was filled with many youths. Some were dressed in brocade clothes, others in animal skins, and even others in linen clothes. Some were neatly dressed, while some had unkempt hair and dirty faces.
But these youths all had one thing in common. They were all 12-year-old boys and girls.
There were five people clad in green robes standing at the bow of the ship.
These green-robed guys and girls appeared older than the boys and girls in the cabin.
They were all around eighteen or nineteen years old.
Each green-robed youth had “Xuantian sect” embroidered on their sleeves. Water patterns were embroidered on the robes as well.
There were five young men and women. One of them had five patterns on his robes, while two had four. Two of them had three water patterns.
“We don’t know how many of the three hundred people we selected this time will be able to become disciples of the sect,” one of the men with three streaks said.
“If we can get a genius this time, we’ll be considered lucky,” the man with four streaks of water said.
“Even if we don’t have one, it wouldn’t be bad if we can get a dozen or so people to join the sect,” the woman with three streaks of water said optimistically.
“More than 300 people! They’re all geniuses that we carefully selected. How can there not be a dozen or so joining?” the woman with four water stripes said.
“Junior Yun, you are too optimistic. Don’t you know how strict our sect’s recruitment of disciples is?” The man with five water streaks turned around and said to the woman with four.
“Senior Jiang, I don’t agree with you. The ranking of our sect has been continuously moving down among the various major powers in the Tianyao region for so many years. For the sake of the sect’s future, the sect master and elders will definitely expand the recruitment quota.”
The man with four water patterns said, “The weaker the sect is, the less likely it is to recruit more useless disciples. The sect only has so many resources. Only by concentrating the resources on talented disciples can the sect have hope.”
At this point, his brows were tightly furrowed.
The Tianyao region had countless powerful factions on the continent.
Among them, the demon race’s top faction, the Phoenix race, was on Mount Wutong.
Other than the Phoenix race, the other demon race’s factions were not small either. They suppressed the human race heavily.
And the most powerful faction of the human race was the Xuantian sect.
But now, the influence that the Xuantian sect exerts in the Tianyao region was very weak.
It had already been reduced to a third-grade faction.
It was said that the human race in the other territories had already become the lowest-grade race. Many humans had become food for the orcs and demons.
Sigh!
Thinking of this, senior Jiang sighed silently.
“What should we do?”
Junior Sister Yun’s expression didn’t look good.
“They’re all damned demons. If it wasn’t for the demons, us Xuantian sect wouldn’t be in such a miserable state.”
“Compared to the demons, the more hateful ones are the orcs.”
Senior brother Jiang’s eyes were filled with hatred.
“Yes, the orcs. They’re the traitors of us humans. A bunch of b*stards.”
The young woman with three streaks of water also cursed.
The others leaned on the railing and stared at the distant river in silence.
The situation of the humans on the mainland was getting worse and worse.
Perhaps in the many years to come, their Xuantian sect would also disappear.
Hula!
The sound of water hitting something surrounded the ship.
“Hey, do you see a figure in the water?”
Suddenly, junior sister Yun pointed at a figure in the river and shouted.
“Eh? It seems to actually be someone!”
“Could it be an orc?”
“Let’s save it first. If it’s an orc, we’ll push it off the boat afterward.”
Senior brother Jiang made the final decision.
Fifteen minutes later, an unconscious young man appeared on the deck.
The young man was dressed in brocade clothes.
At this moment, his brocade clothes were tattered, and his skin, which was full of scars, was exposed.
Perhaps it was because he had been in the water for too long, but many of the wounds were turning white.
Some of the wounds even had maggots in them.
Other than the wounds, the rest of his skin was fine and delicate, looking like the delicate skin of a newborn baby.
Seeing this, a few of the brothers were amazed.
“He’s human, and he’s the purest human.”
Junior sister Yun stared at the young man who had come to her rescue before and said absent-mindedly.
“He seems to have suffered quite a serious injury. It seems that he was injured by a sharp claw. What kind of claw is so powerful that it has already pierced into his internal organs?” Senior brother Jiang unbuttoned the young man’s embroidered robe and said with a frown.
His injuries were too serious.
“What should we do?”
“There’s no hope. Throw him away!”
Senior brother Jiang grabbed the wrist of the young man who was saved and used a stream of true qi to explore.
Eh?
No true qi?
This was a mortal!
How could a mortal survive with such serious injuries?
He would be of no use to them even if he survived.
Saving him was a waste of resources.
“He seems to be still alive. Senior brother Jiang, please bring him into the cabin to save him!” Junior Sister Yun couldn’t bear to say it.
“It’s useless! This person can’t survive.” Senior brother Jiang still shook his head.
“No matter what, he’s still human. Human fate is full of misfortunes. If we don’t unite as one race, there would really be no hope for us.”
“I know about unity, but look at the injuries on his body. Alright, I’ll save you!”
Senior brother Jiang saw junior sister Yun opening her mouth to speak, so he quickly said.
A few days later, the ship arrived at the ferry under a big mountain.
Five young men and women led more than three hundred people off the ship and boarded the ferry, walking towards the plaza on the ferry ahead.
“What about the injured person?”
The man with four water ripples asked.
“Ask Junior Sister Yun. If she doesn’t want to save him, just throw him away!” Senior brother Jiang said casually.
“If you don’t bring him back, I’ll do it.”
Junior Sister Yun came out of nowhere.
A moment later, junior sister Yun carried the injured young man off the boat.
Senior brother Jiang and the four water mark junior brothers followed behind.
“Senior brother, don’t you think it’s strange? He’s so heavily injured and has been soaking in the water for many days. Yet he hasn’t died yet. A mortal is even tougher than us warriors.”
“That’s right! Such injuries would have long disappeared from our bodies.”
Senior brother Jiang said with a frown.
Maggots have already started growing in his wounds, but he still didn’t die?
“Senior brother, do you think he is a spy? It might be someone who knew that junior sister Yun was soft-hearted and intentionally appeared in front of us.”
The more the four water-striped junior brothers looked at the young man junior sister Yun was carrying, the more disgusted they became.
How could a mortal make their junior sister pay so much attention to him?
He was not worthy!
“Impossible! How could such a pure human be a spy?”
Senior brother Jiang paused and shook his head.
“Only a pure human being a spy can make us drop our guard. Many years ago, didn’t that traitor of the Xuantian sect enter the sect using something like this?”
