“Don’t believe everything that he said. You can see yourself that he feel guilty.” The man causally released a barrage of spiked earth that became as sharp as an arrow.
Li Dian dodged to left and right, leaving only his afterimage. Even he did not use his energy to deal with the treat.
“Is this all? I’m still standing without using my power and you all still find it hard to beat me. You must be working for someone, right?” Li Dian stood proudly before the dozens of cultivators that still weak.
“Attack him with everything we have! We are going to die anyway.” Said one of the disciples before he released the energy that several times larger than his actual cultivation.
‘What did he say just a moment ago!?’ Li Dian then saw the smirk the man with the cultivation around Culture Core formation that commanded the disciple from Seven Color Sect.
Li Dian clicked his tongue, dissatisfied with the plan that the opponent had prepared.
“Hahaha, keep attack him with everything you get! Keep going, keep going!” the man became excited after seeing that every disciple used their own life to take down Li Dian. This incited the anger from Li Dian as well.
One person then wanted to detonate, attempting to deal the damage to both himself and Li Dian.
“Looks like, you pissed me off now!” unexpected to all of them, Li Dian blurred from his position. Only Li Dian could see his own movement as he drew a saber from his bag of holding. His target was obvious.
Then the man felt cold on his body before realizing the killing intent that already spread especially to his position. When the man finally realized it, it was all too late!
“Now to take care of this poor disciple.” The difference between the power was actually large but due to the fact that Li Dian still wanted to save as many people as possible, he only used a portion of his strength.
But the man forced Li Dian to used all of his strength, resulting in the death of that particular man.
His head was chopped off in three parts. Not only that but his limbs were also separated, not even his body was spared.
Then the wind carried the blood that sprayed the earth and also the smell it contains. Li Dian then saw the shocked expression from the disciple as they almost done in their incantation.
“Now, you all go to sleep!” with his power that reached the maximum output, Li Dian released it to specifically put their consciousness into the realm of dream. This could be said that he had intended to rescue them.
The scene of the cultivators fell from the sky above was watched by Han Lang.
“Such strength in this remote location. I wonder why my ancestor recorded this location as the most important location at their time.”
While he also wondered about the strange phenomena that also happened from Xuan City, but he had his own reason too for coming to the city. But sometimes human did not know what fate had stored for them.
Initially, Han Lang just wanted to ask the permission to meet Ye family but then while he was walking, he met with the same girl that he had checked.
It turned out that Yi Xiaodie also came here for the same reason as Han Lang. This made both of them confused and cooperated for the time being.
“I have seen the member from Ye family and that man came from their residence. I wonder if I can meet him again.” Even from afar, Yi Xiaodie could see the movement and even the face of the people that walked by in the street.
It was because she placed herself on the third floor of a building and seeing the sea of humans that engulfed the Forgotten Pond made her feel at ease.
“But we must first discuss this with the mayor first. I’m afraid that the power struggle will spread its influence to this place as well.”
She then looked to the place where Li Dian battled with the intruder. But from the looks of it, they were defeated and instead became the one who was forced to retreat.
-
Just as the problem was solved, another interruption appeared out of nowhere. This time, it was more annoying than the previous.
“So they really arrived here.” Ye Canghai stood at the top of the building, looking towards the direction where another large energy fluctuation came.
“There must be something to make them move to this place.” He then thought for a moment. As far as he knows, this place was nothing compared to the other places across the continent.
At another place, Alice prepared the formation by arranging the place of the smaller formation to both enhance and empower the formation. It also included the working of Interceptor Nascent Formation which worked as a counter-strike.

“Pity that I can’t start my first experiment in another world. But the situation really bad that I have to postpone my agenda for a while.” Manstein then understood most of the situation right now from Ye Canghai.
“Why did Uncle let himself burdened with that problem?” Manstein heard that actually, Ye Canghai had a prediction that all of the incidents outside would affect the movement from the cultivators as a whole!
“Before that, we need to find that thing first!” after understanding a part of the records that his device had stored, he found out that there was an artifact that could bring the entire city or an entire continent in it.
He planned to do this to the people of the city first because Manstein felt in his soul that the relation of the high heavens above and the Stone Door Inscription had changed!
‘The change of the door will cause a sensation across the continent. I’m afraid that it will affect everyone in this world.’
Then Wang Yu came to him. He was tasked with preparing the long expedition but his face showed that he had a problem in his mind.
“What happened? Do you still mind about the material that you need?” asked Manstein in a light manner.
“No, no. It’s not about that...anymore. Truthfully, why should we evacuate every person in this world? Isn’t that too hard and only make our loss?” Wang Yu still confused over this matter. If not for the fact that Manstein was Alice’s senior, then he would not hear what he said.
“So in the end, only I that can feel the change in this world.” Hearing Wang Yu asking that made Manstein said the thing that still hanging in his mind.
Alice then felt the sensation of the formation completely activate.
“At last, I can make this formation. The formation that can act both attack and defense on the larger scale. Now we need to search for the Allway Dome.” Alice only found this information in a ruin that belonged to Allway sect.
In there, she found out about the existence of a large carrier which could bring about millions of people. That was the Allway Dome that was created during the golden age of Allway Sect.
“Activate!” Alice used her own energy from her soul to induced the activation of the formation. She also felt the large presence approaching and tried to test the strength of the formation she had just created.
A large quake made the entire ground and buildings swayed. If not for the supplemental formation to kept every building in the city stood still then the city would have turned into a destroyed city in a single activation.
“Return!” it was a call from the center of the formation. The center was located in the Forgotten Pond.
“Let’s return. Too bad that we can only deal with them after they act or else they will use it more passionately to reasoning.” Wang Yu then held Manstein’s hand, instantly teleported both of them to the pond.
Li Dian carried dozens of the disciple from Seven Color Sect which he held on his shoulders.
“Why I, as a mayor, must listen to someone like him!” lamented Li Dian. But of course, that was only on the surface to cover his anger. Then he saw that everybody was already in the center of the formation except for himself.
“Who are those people?” Ye Yingyuan who had seen the people that Li Dian carried asked.
“These children are unfortunate to be used as cannon fodder. And we lacked manpower post-war so I can’t bear myself to really kill them right?” answered Li Dian with a cool face as if he did not have any shame.
“Right, who are they?” it was at this time that Li Dian saw two other people along with an entourage within the group. Initially, only the members of Ye family, his daughter and adopted son along with his soldiers that supposed to be there.
But now there were others too. That was why he increased his vigilance against them.
“Don’t worry, they are our guest.” Ye Guhan answered the confusion in Li Dian’s heart. But of course, Ye Guhan was confused too at first. It was because the other party was someone who had a connection to the family.
“May I know for what purpose do you come to our city, uhm, Miss Yi Xiaodie I presume?” Li Dian had received the letter and just waiting for their arrival but who would have thought that she would come to the same place as Li Dian?
“No need to be polite. In fact, I’m here as a representative for my family and as for Doctor Han, you better discuss it in private.” Yi Xiaodie said with a refined and elegant attitude.
“Alright then. In the letter, Sister said that you have something here?” it was unexpectedly Li Ling who asked.
Li Dian forgot that his daughter also read the content of the letter even for a split second. But what is the meaning of that question?
Then Li Dian moved his leg a little, almost like kicking. He felt that his leg hit something but he did not see anything that could stop his leg. Then suddenly, a figure appeared before himself, holding his legs in pain.
“Ah, so it’ you.” Han Lang could recognize the person that now rolling on the ground.
“It hurts!” a low-pitched voice was heard by everyone. Then most of them had a look that they knew this person. It was the person they just met with their own eyes recently and of course the man that made all of them wonder.
“I told you not to keep hidden but you did not listen to me at all.” Said Alice. Using her incarnation technique to appeared, she then presented herself in front of them all. She appeared cold and had a feeling of untouchable when she spoke but when her eyes shifted to the figure, her face brightens.
“Alright, alright. It’s my fault for not listening but to meet them again...” that was the problem for Manstein.
Then both Alice and Manstein explained the matter regarding the connection between the Ye family and the matter in the past.
“What are you saying....is the same as my ancestor. How is this possible?” Han Lang could not believe what he had just heard. Even though his clan had known about it but it only limited to their clan alone.
“It’s because I’m not someone you can just meet every day.” Said Alice.
“So that’s the reason. Well, as long as you can accept my only request then you can hear the rest of it.” Manstein did not know that his own influence would cause a sensation to both Han Lang and the entire Ye family.
‘He is speaking like that in front of everyone. But his polite attitude does not seem to be fake.’ Han Lang and Yi Xiaodie evaluated the man that speaks so casually with them like they were all equal.
“Then what is your request?” Han Lang also wanted to know more about his clan and its past because the records about it were incomplete and this became the best temptation.
“The safety of the entire city and gather all the people across the continent!” Manstein stood up before he looked right and left.
“What are you saying!? That’s not possible.” Han Lang rejected immediately. But then Wang Yu appeared before them all, heading towards Han Lang who was scared still.
“You brat from Han clan! You better not refuse that! That is the same as unfilial to your parents and ancestor, believe me.” Said Wang Yu when their face was so close that they could see each other’s eye detail.
“Don’t too rude to him. He doesn’t know anything and besides, it is his choice to join us or not. It’s because of the allegiance that the past Ye family still willing to follow me. As for the other, I’m not sure anymore.” Alice said with sadness covered her eyes which Manstein could see well.
Han Lang did not say anything either. Then suddenly the previous talk between Yi Xiaodie and Li Ling continue.
“So you are that person? Then...” Yi Xiaodie then bowed to Alice. Seeing this made Alice remember the day where the experts from Yi family was gathered personally by her.
“..let me become the mediator between you and my family.”
Everbody that witnessed the scene did not believe what they had just heard. This made Ye Xiaobai wonder about the past of his family, what was there that made the scene that day came to a realization.
“Are you sure? There must be someone who doesn't want to see me again, I’m certain about it. But now, I appeared before you all because you are the descendant of good people and the second reason was that of this person.”
Alice then pointed her finger to Manstein. ‘For the creator’s sake! Why is it me?’ grunted Manstein inside his mind.
“Him?” Yi Xiaodie confused at first but then a smile that could warm the heart surfaced on her face. “Is that so? Then I think I need to introduce myself properly..”
Then, three youngsters surrounded Manstein. They were precisely the three younger generation of Ye family. The trio looked at him, wanted to get an explanation.
“What?” Manstein did not understand much what they want so he asked anyway.
“There must be some adventure, right?” Ye Yingyuan asked. Manstein wanted to puke after hearing that. ‘I forgot that he became a home for my soul to temporarily stay.’
With the connection from the soul, the understanding between them became deeper. Manstein also understood what he wanted and turned his head to Alice.
“Do you all want to follow me and my senior?” she asked.
Of course, they turned their heads, looking to their parents, signaling them for allowing them to go with Alice and Manstein.
“You better ask for their permission. It is said that the pray from your parents is the most effective solution for your problem.” Manstein who had seen that then advised them.
“As for the departure, maybe we will discuss that after this.” Wang Yu also felt the itch to try this formation himself. Alice also had the same urge as Wang Yu because this formation was the fruit of their latest research!
“The new Coiling Dragon Formation.” Alice and Wang Yu murmured.
