Chapter 581: Chapter 582 Choice_1

"Such wasteful tactics,"

As he watched the purple lightning continually bombard the sky, Feng Yuan helplessly said, Agunas’s phantom glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"You wouldn’t be unaware of the actual situation, would you?"

"There are no enemies coming from the sky—the attack extended into the air is simply a waste."

"Moreover..."

As Feng Yuan spoke, he raised his hand, and several steles drifted out from the void, with wrathful spirits entwined around them. Feng Yuan revealed a mischievous smile and said,

"He doesn’t even need to defend against air attacks～"

Witnessing one after another of ghastly green light beams hammering the earth, Agunas’s phantom silently said,

"You’re not planning on dragging them out as well, are you?"

"How could I? This place can’t directly connect to the Yin World, and besides, why bother? If it really came to that, I might as well take action myself, it’d be faster."

"That guy, though..."

Feng Yuan looked speechlessly at Guo Huai, Mo Li might still be excused as a habit problem, but Guo Huai was simply excessive. At this moment, the power he had borrowed was the Power of Time from Lorraine Tower. Whether it was due to him not yet being accustomed to it, he couldn’t control the range of the effect well, resulting in a Time Divestiture effect occurring to a large area around his target whenever he threw a punch.

"He must still be getting used to its power."

Agunas’s phantom shook its tail and said, Feng Yuan sighed and ’looked’ toward the endless stream of enemies and said,

"Their projection class magical artifacts are indeed numerous."

"After all, it’s a coalition army composed of several nations. Speaking of which, you’ve actually been able to resist calling Nagna over?"

"Why would I call it over? A doomed nation is not something it can interfere with."

Feng Yuan sighed as he looked toward the incessant enemies. Although he could annihilate them all at once, he didn’t want to do so, for the cost was simply too great, and he neither wanted nor was willing.

Guarding the crowds, everyone slowly began to retreat towards Nanyu City. Perhaps realizing the situation was futile, the enemies didn’t pursue relentlessly but silently withdrew instead. It wasn’t until the team was reorganized that Miss Zhuo approached Mo Li and her group to thank them,

"We truly owe you one for just now."

"Are you planning to relocate your entire clan?"

Feng Yuan curiously looked at the group of people. From their attire, he could guess they were all likely from the Zhuo Ya Clan. With a graceful smile, Miss Zhuo helplessly said,

"I really don’t feel secure staying there, and besides... our decision wasn’t made lightly."

With a slight smile, Feng Yuan didn’t point out the obvious, he naturally knew they must have received an invitation from Nanyu Royal Court to set sail together. Guo Huai, a bit puzzled, said,

"Why so insecure? They shouldn’t take actions against ordinary people, should they?"

"That’s referring to their own citizens. Don’t forget the recent Great Yan incident."

"That... surely won’t happen again, right?"

"Hard to say."

Feng Yuan said as he looked at Miss Zhuo, who had a smile on her face that revealed nothing, Mo Ling, annoyed, pushed Guo Huai and said,

"Would you stop talking nonsense!"

"It’s fine, it’s not just him who doesn’t understand, there are many in our clan who oppose my actions as well."

"I do not wish to entrust the lives of my people to their benevolence. Rather than counting on them, it’s better to follow the Nanyu King."

Feng Yuan glanced at Miss Zhuo and said,

"I’m somewhat curious, how can you be certain that the Nanyu King won’t change?"

"His promise, and also, I believe in him."

Seeing Miss Zhuo’s resolute appearance, Feng Yuan smiled but did not argue, understanding that Miss Zhuo was also taking a gamble, betting that the Nanyu King would not harm them. Compared to those dynasties, she trusted the Nanyu King more, having lived in Nanyu for such a long period, she knew him rather well.

"You’d best steer clear of Nanyu City; that place is about to become a battlefield."

Mo Li looked at Miss Zhuo, who then shook her head with a smile, saying,

"If it’s impossible, we won’t court trouble."

After conversing for a while, Miss Zhuo returned to her group, busying herself with something. Mo Li thought for a moment and then said,

"Shall we camp here for now?"

Yawning, Feng Yuan said indifferently,

"As you wish."

"If we continue to travel by night, it would be bad if we encounter enemies while our energy is low."

Liu Wenli thought for a moment and then spoke. Although she didn’t explicitly state her point, the others naturally understood her intention. Seeing that Feng Yuan looked at her, Mo Li nodded and said,

"Please take care of it."

With a wave of her staff, the vine camp appeared beside the road. Madam Zhuo had just finished her busyness and was sitting down to rest. Noticing the commotion from Mo Li’s direction, she smiled slightly and said,

"Interesting travelers."

"It’s truly a clan migration..."

Watching the Sun-Scorch Insects swapping shifts at the Zhuo Ya Clan camp, Feng Yuan muttered, while Mo Li stood beside him looking towards the Zhuo Ya Clan camp and said,

"Are we really not going into Nanyu City?"

"What’s your opinion?"

"Me?"

Mo Li was indecisive. After all, their goal was not to rescue Nanyu, but Wei Dingwu was in Nanyu City. If they did not enter the city, then rescuing Wei Dingwu would seem like a joke.

Liu Wenli, however, had no such hesitations. Staring at the starry sky, she calmly said,

"It would be best not to go in."

Mo Li looked at Liu Wenli curiously. She had always said that her reason for joining them was to rescue Wei Dingwu, but now she was against entering the city, which made him somewhat doubt her motives. Feng Yuan, leaning on the railing and braving the cold wind, said,

"I’m also against entering Nanyu City. They are not completely united; otherwise, why wait till now to leave?"

"As for Wei Dingwu, actually, the hard part is not taking her away. Even if she was alone, it wouldn’t be impossible to take her with us."

Noticing Feng Yuan looking at her, Liu Wenli smiled and said,

"Indeed, what’s really troublesome is if she chooses to cover our retreat when the time comes. That would be the most problematic."

"Cover our retreat! If it comes to that..."

Mo Li hesitated. The risks of covering the retreat were too great, and he had to consider it seriously. Guo Huai found it strange and said,

"Can’t we just take the person away directly?"

Glancing in the direction of the Zhuo Ya Clan, Feng Yuan said,

"Do you think if it were just Madam Zhuo alone, their progress would be so slow? I believe they would have already set out."

"You mean..."

"Legendary Level... with such great strength comes greater responsibilities. No one may explicitly demand that of you, but if you were in that position, would you abandon them and flee alone?"

"This..."

The only one with this doubt was Guo Huai. Neither Mo Li nor Liu Wenli had ever been puzzled by this. During a dynasty rife with conflict, those with powerful strength naturally earned the support of others, and in times of trouble, they were the biggest pillar and protector for those people.

"Protecting what’s important to yourself, huh... It’s been a long time since I’ve felt that way,"

Liu Wenli muttered softly to herself, clutching something tightly in her hand. Amon gently patted on her shoulder, seemingly comforting her.

"How about, you take Mo Ling and go to the seaside first?"

Feng Yuan suggested to Yao Yin, who had been silent by his side. Glancing over her shoulder at the White Wolf Deity, Yao Yin replied irritably,

"You think you can hold up on your own?"

"Why not?"

"Mo Ling may not be willing to leave on her own."

"When the time comes, there will be a fierce battle. Is it really appropriate for her to stay behind?"

Yao Yin looked at Mo Li and said,

"Whether it’s appropriate is not for you to decide. Have you asked for her own opinion?"

Mo Ling stepped out from behind Yao Yin and looked at Mo Li with a grievance. With Mo Ling staring at him like that, Mo Li scratched his head guiltily and said,

"When did you come over?"

"Brother..."

Sighing, Mo Li said,

"Do you really want to face those enemies with us?"

Gazing intently at Mo Li, Mo Ling said with determination,

"Yes! I want to fight alongside you!"

Looking amused by Mo Ling, Feng Yuan said,

"Forget it, you’re about as strong as Hua Yiyou, but he has three Vine Turtles following him now, plus that group of kittens. In terms of strength, he’s quite a bit stronger than you."

As he spoke, Feng Yuan picked up the Illusory Sound Parrot and placed it in front of Mo Ling, saying,

"How about you take care of it for me when the time comes?"

The Illusory Sound Parrot glared at Feng Yuan, seeming somewhat angry.
