C61 The General Trend of the Human Heart

Feng Laixian's roar stopped as Zuo Xiangming left.

He stood up and quickly returned to the city wall. His gaze looked towards the west of the city. Sure enough, the city gate was wide open. At the same time, the mixed army of living corpses and Awakened was occupying the key areas of the city. Some areas with many residents were also heavily surrounded by them.

A team of Awakened led by Wu Ruoyu was like a sharp knife as it charged towards the south wall. Some of the Awakened who were in the way were mercilessly killed.

"Everyone, follow me!" Feng Laixian stood at the front and looked at Wu Ruoyu. He then gritted his teeth and said.

Wu Ruoyu laughed as he rushed forward, "Everyone, get ready to fight."

There was a twenty-meter buffer zone between the city wall and the residential area.

At this moment, two groups of people were fighting in this twenty-meter space.

However, they did not immediately start fighting. Instead, both sides faced each other first and looked at Wu Ruoyu and Feng Laixian.

"Host Wu, why?" Feng Laixian stared at Wu Ruoyu and asked word by word.

Wu Ruoyu asked, "Host Feng, what do you think of Pearl City?"

Before Feng Laixian could answer, he turned around and looked at the lights in the residential area behind him. He sighed and said, "Look, those lights are bright and fragile. Every year, more than two hundred people in Pearl City die from the attacks of the catabolic beast. We seem to be only able to defend this small area. Have you ever thought that we might be able to change our lives?"

"So that's how it is. The student who preached about the Human King in my dojo was one of your people." Feng Laixian squinted his eyes and said.

He had heard this before, when a student who came to learn the Beast King Fist came to his dojo.

Wu Ruoyu nodded and said, "That's right. It's a pity that you expelled him. Otherwise, you could have become one of us."

"Hehe, become one of you? And then... bury the entire Pearl City?" Feng Laixian lowered his head and laughed. Then, he suddenly retracted his smile, and his eyes suddenly widened as he roared at Wu Ruoyu.

Wu Ruoyu sighed and shouted, "Let's see what you can do when the time comes. Let's kill him!"

He suddenly exploded and slammed his palm towards Feng Laixian.

Feng Laixian's expression was gloomy. He did not dodge or evade. When the palm was about to hit his face, he stretched out his hand to catch it.

He gritted his teeth and punched at Wu Ruoyu's head with his other hand, but he was also caught by Wu Ruoyu.

The two of them glared at each other and attacked at the same time.

The Scorching Sun Fist that the Scorching Sun Dojo taught was a powerful palm technique. When cultivated to the end, it could even shoot out flames with a single palm. The Profound Meaning, Fire Dragon Body, was known to have the fastest attack speed.

Wu Ruoyu's palms quickly slapped out, and Feng Laixian also used all kinds of techniques to fight back. Under the impact of the heat wave, it was as if they were fighting in a volcano.

With the two of them as the center, a terrifyingly high temperature gradually spread out.

...

In the Square of the Monument.

Situ Shibai sat beside the monument and rubbed the monument in disappointment.

He knew the entire situation of Pearl City like the back of his hand.

"So that's how it is. The human heart has changed and formed a great trend. I can stop the Zhu family, I can stop the beasts, but how can I stop the human heart?" he muttered to himself.

The dojo was not the only one that had betrayed them. Many peasants had betrayed them as well.

These peasants quickly provided water for them after the Sea Dweller army entered, ensuring that the Sea Dweller army would not lose their fighting strength as soon as they reached the land.

Situ Shibai did not blame these people, because he understood their pain.

"You should know that you have already failed." Lee Aoxue seemed to be blown by a gust of wind. Her figure was ethereal as she looked at Situ Shibai and said with a smile of a victor.

Situ Shibai looked at Lee Aoxue and asked, "Then have you ever thought about what would happen to the human race if you failed?"

"I won't fail!" Lee Aoxue looked at Situ Shibai and said confidently.

Situ Shibai's gaze gradually became sharp as he said angrily, "You have already lost when you waved your blade at the innocent people, and when you cooperated with Zuo Xiangming, you have already lost. What you did was the Path of the Sly, not the Path of the King!"

"There is a saying in ancient times, 'When a general succeeds, his bones will wither.' Furthermore, I want to walk the Path of the King. How can I not bleed? Whether it is the Path of the Sly or the Path of the King, the winner is the king in the end," Lee Aoxue said in disdain.

Situ Shibai stood up and said angrily, "Your ambition is too great. You will kill even more people and drag the human race into an irrecoverable situation."

"It seems that the current situation is still unable to convince you. Although I don't expect to convince you, tonight is your burial ground. It just so happens that this place is also the place where my master sleeps. You should die with peace of mind." Lee Aoxue did not care about Situ Shibai's angry rebuke and said indifferently.

Then, Situ Shibai squinted his eyes and looked around. One by one, the living corpses appeared one after another. Among them were many Awakened.

"You actually..." Situ Shibai saw a familiar figure in the crowd and said in disbelief.

A middle-aged man slowly walked out and said helplessly, "Brother Shibai, the Sky Fox is too powerful. Sister Aoxue is right. The human race needs a king. We should unite instead of being like a pile of loose sand."

This middle-aged man was the current City Lord of Pearl City. It was obvious that he had changed his mind because of the invasion of the Sky Fox.

"Lee Aoxue is not a wise ruler. She won't succeed." Situ Shibai looked at the middle-aged man and said painfully.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps, but Sister Aoxue is right. Some things have to be started, no matter if the result is good or bad. I know I can't persuade you, so... Brother Shibai, please go on your way!"

"Then come on. Let's use this battle to decide the future of Pearl City." Situ Shibai swept his gaze across the Awakened. He saw determination and power in their eyes. He sighed helplessly and slowly said.

After saying that, the huge ball of light in the air exploded with a bright light.

...

City Lord's Mansion.

Moon Prince was hugging Chen Junting and was observing her sleeping face.

Then he could not help but extend his long tongue and lick Chen Junting's face.

"Little White, stop licking me. It's so itchy."

Chen Junting frowned slightly and subconsciously waved her hand to push away the tongue as she muttered.

Little White was a puppy she raised. Because of the Holy Mother's blood, Little White was especially obedient.

However, after muttering a few times, Little White was still licking her face in her dreams, so she opened her eyes in a daze.

What she saw was not Lo Shiyu, nor was it a Sky Fox. Instead, it was an indescribable and inexplicable existence.

"Hello, you look so strange."

Chen Junting sat up and looked at the indescribable thing curiously.

Following that, the chaotic and inexplicable thing continued to squirm, as if it was telling something.

Chen Junting tried to understand it very seriously. From time to time, she nodded, but at some places, she revealed a look of doubt.

"You said your master is dead? That's so pitiful."

After a moment, Chen Junting barely understood the meaning of the indescribable thing. Then she said sympathetically.

Then, she widened her eyes and said in surprise, "You said you want to follow me? Hmm... Let me think, what can you do?"

That indescribable thing slowly stretched out a mass of messy shadows. In the blink of an eye, it and Chen Junting appeared at the top of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Wow, the sun is so bright." Chen Junting looked up at the big ball of light and said in surprise.

Then, she looked at the indescribable thing happily and said with a smile, "You are so powerful. How did you do it?"

The mass of indescribable thing kept changing shape and wriggling, as if it was explaining something.

"You mean... You were originally an invisible concept ability, and then Master gave you life?" Chen Junting tried to understand it with difficulty.

That mass of indescribable thing expressed its agreement, and then it changed again.

Chen Junting pursed her lips and said, "Alright, since no one wants you anymore, I'll temporarily take you in. But you have to be obedient, or I won't take you in."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand.

That mass of indescribable thing immediately merged into her hand. In the blink of an eye, she felt something, and she looked at the Monument Square.
