Chapter 2642: Chapter 541:
The village chief said to go to Eastern Province, and as a result, everyone went to Eastern Province, not a single person chose to stay in Central Continent.
Cao Zhen found a village and quickly moved to the second village, especially with the people from the first village, they directly released the people, and as soon as the people from the second village saw that everyone from another village had chosen to enter Eastern Province, they naturally believed that going to Eastern Province was the right choice.
Then, when he reached the third village, the villagers from the first two villages helped speak up, and in this cycle, in all the villages they visited, every villager chose to enter Eastern Province.
Only when they entered a certain large city, did a very few people choose to stay in Central Continent.
Cao Zhen did not forcibly ask the other party to leave, he had already explained the pros and cons clearly, and if they still insisted on staying in Central Continent, he had no other choice, he couldn’t forcibly bind them and take them away.
However, as they continued their flight, a destroyed city appeared before everyone’s eyes.
This should have been an extraordinarily prosperous and bustling city, but now it has turned into ruins.
Towering buildings had collapsed and shattered, debris and rubble piled up on the streets. The city’s residents were no longer there, replaced by deathly silence and desolation.
Once busy streets had now become desolate and quiet. In the empty square lay destroyed statues and broken fountains. The shop windows were smashed, the goods from the stalls scattered on the ground, exuding a sense of bleakness and helplessness.
There were traces of collapsed walls everywhere, stones and bricks scattered. Especially the most bustling residential area had turned into ruins.
And outside the city, there were three figures: an old man and two young children.
They were desperately trying to climb up the city wall, but no matter how they climbed, they couldn’t reach the top of the wall.
Suddenly, they noticed figures flying down in the Void, the old man’s face immediately showed a noticeable look of panic, and he shouted loudly at the boy climbing higher than him, "Quick, Ming Zhe, take your sister Ming Xin and run!"
As the old man spoke, he picked up a Stone from the collapsed ruins beside him and hurled it at the few cultivators flying towards them.
He knew that at such a distance, his attack couldn’t touch those cultivators, but he did it anyway, believing that the cultivators would become angry upon witnessing his action, and would attack him, thus giving him time to let his grandson and granddaughter escape.
Cao Zhen saw the Stone being thrown from afar, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, the other party was attacking himself and others, and the old man’s face was filled with intense hatred, why did he hate them so much even though they had just arrived here, to the extent that he would have the two children flee at the sight of them?
Confused, he accelerated his speed and appeared in front of the old man in the blink of an eye. Before he could speak, a shout full of hatred had already reverberated from the side.
"Don’t bully Grandpa!"
Beside him, a child who seemed to be over ten years old shouted loudly, spreading his arms, and rushed towards Cao Zhen from not far away, seemingly wanting to push Cao Zhen down.
Cao Zhen raised his hand and lightly waved, and suddenly a gentle force surged from his hand, fixing the little boy on the ruins. If he hadn’t stopped him, the boy would have certainly fallen.
Almost at the moment the little boy’s body was fixed, behind him, the little girl who seemed younger by a year or two picked up a huge Stone and hurled it directly towards Cao Zhen.
Cao Zhen didn’t even make any movements, a Qi Wave shot out from his body, and in the Void, the flying Stone shattered with a loud bang, scattering in all directions.
"Why are you attacking me?" Cao Zhen looked at the old man and two children before him, full of helplessness, "This is the first time we’ve met, and my first time here, I harbor no malice towards you, is there some misunderstanding between us?
Also, regarding this city, can you tell me what happened here?"
Cao Zhen said as he slightly sensed the qi in the city, his brow furrowing slightly, he spoke in a deep voice, "This city seems to have been destroyed not long ago, probably within four hours."
As he spoke, he started to understand, looking at the old man he asked, "Are you survivors of this city, you attacked us thinking we were the ones who destroyed this great city, or thought we were their accomplices?
I think you must be mistaken, just like you, I belong to the Human Clan, how could I attack a fellow clan’s city."
As soon as his words fell, the old man’s voice filled with anger rang out immediately: "So what if we are of the same race? The ones who slaughtered this city were three humans!"
"What!"
Behind Cao Zhen, a group of cultivators were shocked upon hearing this, and Cao Zhen’s face showed deep anger, an icy killing intent surged from his body, rippling out in all directions, and suddenly the temperature of the surrounding air seemed to drop sharply.
Why did he want to take these fellow clansmen away, it was out of fear that these fellow clansmen might be oppressed by those Alien Race randomly, might be eradicated from villages or even from cities!
Yet, as he began to travel from village to village starting from Sky Clan, bringing people away, he hadn’t yet seen a city destroyed by the Sky Clan, but instead witnessed a city emptied out by humans, by his own kind!
