Chapter 592: Chapter 593 Retreat_1

As the night deepened, although the group was able to continue containing the enemy with the help of the cats from the Coming of the Future, the appearance of legendary entities meant that Feng Yuan had no chance to properly rest. Only he and the White Wolf Deity could contend with them.

"Damn it!"

Wei Dingwu and the middle-aged man fought hard to vanquish enemies and tried to buy Feng Yuan some time to rest, but Xiao Ji, though eager to help Feng Yuan against those legendary enemies, couldn’t break through their interception. Because of Feng Yuan and his group, they could never spare enough hands to attack Nanyu City, which made them even more cautious around Feng Yuan and his companions.

As they got closer to the seaside, their impatience grew. Feng Yuan’s group’s priority within the allied forces rose higher and higher. Yet even though they sent quite a few legendary entities, with Feng Yuan there, it was all for naught; many even fell by Feng Yuan’s hand.

Although there seemed to be an abundance of Legendary Level and legendary entities, for each country, each Legendary and legendary combatant was extremely important. Now that too many had fallen to Feng Yuan’s hand, it made it difficult for them to decide.

They were tempted to concentrate their legendary forces to eliminate Feng Yuan’s group in one fell swoop, but if they failed, the cost would be insurmountable for the allied forces’ commander. Because Feng Yuan’s group tied up Legendary and legendary combatants, many soldiers from the Nanyu Kingdom were still barely able to fight, and those who had been prepared for sacrifice had unexpectedly held on thus far.

As Feng Yuan’s group took down more Legendary and legendary foes, their pressure lessened. However, they couldn’t manage to relieve Feng Yuan’s group; the allied forces were still numerous, and they encountered unmatched legendary opponents before they could get close to Feng Yuan’s group.

"It’s almost over now～"

Although somewhat weary, Feng Yuan still spoke happily. In his perception, the historical deviation wasn’t severe, and while they had eliminated many of the allied forces, even more had been incapacitated by Feng Yuan purposefully holding back, unable to participate in this battle.

This was why the allied forces hadn’t resolved to annihilate Feng Yuan’s group. Despite losses, they were not driven to madness yet. Mo Li and the others knew that Feng Yuan was holding back, but said nothing further. Their goal was never to annihilate the allied forces; as long as they didn’t affect the withdrawal of the Nanyu Kingdom, it was fine.

"Can you still fight?"

Liu Wenli asked Feng Yuan with some concern. After continuous battle, she doubted how much longer Feng Yuan could hold on. Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Why couldn’t I～"

"It seems like they’re retreating."

The middle-aged man said with joy. Though not overly evident, he could see that the allied forces were gradually withdrawing from the battlefield. With a slight smile, Liu Wenli said,

"The main forces cannot get close to Nanyu City, continuing the fight is meaningless. If too many Legendary and legendary ones die, it would be pointless even if they annihilated the Nanyu Kingdom."

"Finally, it’s over～"

Feng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. If the battle had continued for half a day more, he likely would have only been able to rely on the White Wolf Deity or summon other Divine Beasts to take action. He certainly did not have the energy to continue.

"I actually... survived..."

The middle-aged man looked at the last of the retreating allied forces’ legendary entities in astonishment, seeming unable to believe his eyes. Yao Yin glanced at the middle-aged man and said,

"What do you mean ’I actually survived’?"

Scratching his head, the middle-aged man said somewhat sheepishly,

"Usually, those who cover the rear are..."

"Then why did you come?"

Mo Li looked at the middle-aged man quizzically. He was the one who didn’t quite fit in with the Nanyu Kingdom, yet in this battle, he fought the hardest. If it weren’t for Feng Yuan using the Rain of Life later on, given his injuries, he probably would have fallen by now.

Hearing Mo Li’s question, the middle-aged man’s eyes dimmed and he said in a low voice,

"I... I just didn’t want to see what they defended crumble before my eyes..."

Feng Yuan patted the middle-aged man’s back and said with a smile,

"Don’t talk so much～ We finally won. Let’s think about how to celebrate～"

"Did we win?"

Liu Wenli glanced at the sky where Nanyu City still floated, steadily moving toward the coast.

"Anyway, we won the ground battle～ What do the great nation’s games have to do with us?"

"That’s true."

Liu Wenli smiled slightly and glanced at Wei Dingwu. This was the only time she would help him. What he did afterward was none of her concern, and she was too tired to bother. Saving Wei Dingwu was enough for her.

"I’m so tired～"

"Won’t the White Wolf Deity get angry if you do that?"

Seeing Feng Yuan covered in blood and sprawling out on the White Wolf Deity, Guo Huai was very worried that the White Wolf Deity might lash out in anger. To his surprise, he saw the deity looking back at him as though he was an idiot. Xiao Ji, dissatisfied, kept glancing at Feng Yuan with small eyes. After finding a more comfortable position, Feng Yuan beckoned to Xiao Ji and said,

"Aren’t you tired? Come here and rest with me～"

"Most Spirit Beasts above the Common Level possess self-cleaning abilities, ensuring their cleanliness. We Divine Beasts can remain free of even a speck of dust."

The spectral form of Agunas glanced over and shook its tail, floating toward Feng Yuan. Seeing the pristine white wolf fur beneath Feng Yuan as he shifted his body, Guo Huai scratched his head, knowing that although Ordinary Spirit Beasts were self-cleaning, they could still get dirty, only to clean themselves shortly thereafter.

"Ha~ I really don’t want to go through another battle like this," the middle-aged uncle said, leaning on the White Ape, exhausted. He glanced at the night sky, and Liu Wenli said,

"Battles like this will be unavoidable in the future, even if Nanyu Kingdom leaves the continent."

"Haha~ I won’t be going with them. After this time, I’m going to live my own life~"

Wei Dingwu looked at the middle-aged man with some concern and said,

"Uncle..."

"I don’t know how that guy has been teaching you, but I want to tell you, don’t care too much about their thoughts, or you’ll suffer in the future."

Wei Dingwu fell silent. Having once asked her father about him, she naturally understood what he meant. Just then, a middle-aged man in the uniform of a great general walked over and seemed surprised to see the man leaning on the White Ape.

"Fangwu? What are you doing here?"

Wei Fangwu looked at the great general with some irritation and said,

"Why can’t I be here? Can you control where I go?"

"You..."

After examining Wei Fangwu with a complex expression for a while, the other man turned to Wei Dingwu and said,

"You..."

"Dad... It’s really so good that you’re alright..."

After a long silence, the great general slowly began to speak.

"Ding Wu, I hope you don’t leave with Nanyu City."

"Why?!"

"Is it because of... Xiao Fang...?"

Wei Dingwu looked at her father with disappointment and choked up as she spoke. Seeing Wei Dingwu’s disappointed expression, the great general hurriedly tried to explain,

"It’s not that, it’s just... that..."

"You’re too high-profile now; going back to Nanyu won’t be good for you unless you can withstand the consequences."

Wei Fangwu glanced at the great general and then said to Wei Dingwu,

"High-profile?"

"Infighting, right? But you folks from Nanyu really have too much spare time, you’re still thinking about infighting when you can hardly save yourselves."

Feng Yuan, lying on the White Wolf Deity, said with sarcasm. Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, the great general’s old face flushed red, and Wei Fangwu snickered and said,

"Who knows? Maybe it’s their tradition? Poor king of Nanyu."

Glancing at the great general, who was red-faced and at a loss for words, Feng Yuan swept a look over Mo Li and the others and said,

"Let’s give them some space; they have some whispering to do~"

"How come you’re here too?"

Feng Yuan looked strangely at Wei Fangwu, leaning on the White Ape. Wei Fangwu said lazily,

"That’s their family business; what does it have to do with me?"

"Aren’t you her uncle?"

"I haven’t been part of the Wei Family for a long time. Tsk, the six protectors of Nanyu, and now only he remains steadfast."

Wei Fangwu said dismissively, but his words still revealed a hint of admiration.

"Where are you planning to go?"

Feng Yuan asked, glancing over at Wei Dingwu and her father in the distance. Wei Fangwu was taken aback for a moment before realizing Feng Yuan was asking him. He smiled and said,

"Of course, to travel the continent~ I didn’t want to leave before because my old friends were all here, but now... overseas is not the place I want to go~"

"You don’t want to return to your roots?"

Feng Yuan asked, puzzled.
