Chapter 341: Chapter 341 The Beast Tide Ends_1

"Dinner is served~"

As an auntie’s voice rang out, Feng Yuan, who had been waiting for a while, hurried to the long tables set up at the entrance of the village. The long table, formed by connecting several tables, was already filled with all kinds of food. The hunters, who had been guarding the village perimeter earlier due to excessive energy consumption, did not come to eat but went home to rest.

Guo Huai and his companions walked wearily to the long table. Glancing at an excited Feng Yuan choosing his food, Guo Huai said somewhat discontentedly,

"We’re exhausted, and here you are, comfortably resting all morning."

Feng Yuan glanced at Guo Huai, made a face at him, and continued to pick out distinctive foods. Yao Yin, hearing Guo Huai’s words, sighed and said,

"When it comes to exertion, I guess his energy expenditure today even surpasses that of the Earthbound Qilin."

Seeing Guo Huai’s puzzled look, Yao Yin explained,

"Today, I specifically let a few mutant beasts through, and just as he said, those mutant beasts turned to ash after being struck by black lightning that descended from the sky upon entering the red zone."

"What does that mean?"

Noticing Guo Huai’s skepticism, Yao Yin said while choosing food,

"You can try it. No need to spread your spiritual power as wide as covering the red zone, just cover this village and make sure you can accurately identify every target inside."

Guo Huai tried to extend his spiritual power but couldn’t even spread it over the entire village, reaching his limit at just twenty or thirty meters. Feng Yuan glanced at Guo Huai and said,

"Don’t listen to her; your spiritual power isn’t meant to be spread out in the first place. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be techniques for sharing perception with Spirit Beasts."

"Besides, maintaining the spiritual power perception over this area is not a big deal for me."

Seeing Feng Yuan sit down on a rock with his plate of food, Yao Yin whispered curiously,

"What a strange fellow, he could have boasted about his hardships, yet he does the opposite."

"Looks like it has been taken care of over there."

At the sound of a dragon’s roar, Feng Yuan patted Xiao Ji in his arms. After feeding, Feng Yuan casually prepared some food for Xiao Ji; fortunately, the village had ingredients for Spirit Beasts as the local divine owls also needed to eat. Otherwise, Feng Yuan wouldn’t have known what to feed Xiao Ji.

"That is..."

Hu Weng looked at the azure figure streaking across the sky in surprise. Then, villagers took up arms, warily watching the sky. Feng Yuan quickly understood the situation and hurried forward, saying,

"Don’t panic, it just helped us fight off the beast tide and is now returning. I reckon it’s taken this route to say goodbye to me."

The village head pushed through the crowd and came out, looking at Feng Yuan with some confusion,

"You know it?"

"I know what you’re worried about. Rest assured, it came here at my invitation, to help deal with the mutant beasts."

"And now, it is the Divine Beast guarding this region. Unless you have done something to seriously harm it or its Divine Pact Maker, it won’t attack you."

"Nonsense! It just destroyed our troops at the border not long ago!"

Feng Yuan sighed at the protesting soldier and said,

"Divine Beasts do not belong to any nation, but Divine Pact Makers are different. The previous slaughter of troops was likely at the request of a Divine Pact Maker; after all, to it, who rules this land is irrelevant."

"But this..."

"If one frequently seeks its intervention in human wars, it will become disgusted too. Don’t worry, it won’t pose much of a threat. Besides..."

"Compared to outsiders, nowadays, Great Li..."

Feng Yuan said with an implied meaning, but unfortunately, the soldier didn’t grasp the hidden undertones in his words. If Yun Maoxin and others had been present, they might have been able to confirm certain things.

"The border area has been cleared, no mutant beasts found crossing the restricted zone~"

Leaning against a long halberd stuck in the ground, Feng Yuan said proudly. Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, the villagers who had been busy for days finally breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Ji had also participated in several battles. When Mo Li arrived later, most of the dispersed mutant beasts were taken care of by Mo Li and his troops. The troops from Zhen Nan City were stationed in various areas but were thus unable to launch an offensive against the mutants.

Feng Yuan and his comrades cleaned up the gathered groups of mutant beasts like it was a marketplace.

"Looks like they have failed. Who would have thought that even a renegade from Wolf Mountain had such formidable strength."

"Whether he truly is a renegade from Wolf Mountain remains to be seen."

"It should be, after all, such evil power can be said to be completely opposite to the power of the deities of Wolf Mountain."

"That’s uncertain, but fortunately, at least the goal of destroying Yongning has been achieved. Though that god-calculated village has disappeared, Li Shiqing definitely won’t be able to find that village. It’s just a pity we couldn’t kill Mo Ling..."

"Forget it. With that person protecting Mo Ling, killing her is just too difficult."

"Who would have thought Zhen Nan City would actually collude with Li Shiqing? It’s a pity the beast tide wasn’t powerful enough, otherwise we would have leveled their Zhen Nan City!"

Two figures in black robes stood at the top of the mountain, looking out at Yongning City, now in ruins, conversing for a while before exchanging glances and turning to leave.

"What exactly are you doing? Stopping every few steps."

Because Mo Ling wanted to go back to see Yongning City, Mo Li had people clean up the ruins of Yongning beforehand, and only after getting Mo Li’s permission did Mo Ling manage to bring Feng Yuan and others back to the ruins of Yongning. However, on their way there, Feng Yuan would occasionally stop to open the Dark Ancient Book in his hands and chant something. At first, Mo Ling didn’t take it seriously until she eventually couldn’t bear it and somewhat discontentedly said to Feng Yuan.

After glancing at Mo Ling, Feng Yuan closed the Dark Ancient Book in his hand and said,

"Soul crossing."

"Soul crossing?"

"Soul crossing!"

After all, the concept of soul crossing did not exist in this world, and Mo Ling looked at Feng Yuan with some curiosity. Guo Huai stared at Feng Yuan with a look of astonishment and said,

"Could those souls become malevolent spirits?"

"That’s not possible. Without corresponding rules, malevolent spirits wouldn’t appear."

"Then what exactly are you doing crossing their souls..."

"Though malevolent spirits might not appear, fierce ghosts still exist, and what’s truly troublesome are those Ghost Series Spirit Beasts. Although there are relatively fewer Ghost Series Spirit Beasts in this era, this much resentment..."

Feng Yuan, looking up at the overcast sky with a sense of helplessness, thought that if it weren’t for his presence there, the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts would probably have already rushed to this playground of theirs to frolic with abandon.

"Wait, aren’t fierce ghosts more formidable than malevolent spirits?"

Yao Yin looked at Feng Yuan curiously, and after putting away the Dark Ancient Book, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"The malevolent spirits he’s talking about are different from the ones you have in mind. This world doesn’t have the concept of malevolent spirits. What he’s referring to are those creatures that possess spiritual intelligence and can cast spells, not like fierce ghosts, which are utterly mindless..."

"Ghost Immortals?!"

"Is that what you call them? Well, in a certain sense, those things could also be considered immortals."

After looking at Feng Yuan, Yao Yin hummed a few times and said,

"They call themselves immortals, but we righteous paths have never acknowledged them."

"But what exactly are you doing by crossing their souls... Are you making them reincarnate, or..."

"Reincarnation. If I wanted to exterminate them, why would I put myself through such trouble? I would just use the Death Chant. That ultimate move has a wide range, and after being used in two or three locations, I can guarantee not a single soul would remain in this area."

"Uh... Okay, I forgot that you have more of those strange spells."

Yao Yin twirled a strand of her hair as she spoke. Seeing the others looking puzzled, Yao Yin thought for a moment and then explained to them the meaning of reincarnation. After listening to the explanation, Mo Ling stared at Feng Yuan for a long time before saying,

"May I ask you for a favor?"

Seeing the serious expression on Mo Ling’s face, Feng Yuan asked with some confusion,

"What is it?"

"Could you, please, cross the souls of all the deceased from this beast tide?"

Feng Yuan stared at Mo Ling speechlessly for a long time before replying,

"Do you know how exhausting that is? No way!"

"Why not!"

Mo Ling asked somewhat anxiously.
