"Abandon the Sky-Rending Divine Crossbow?!"
"Are we going to give up our ancestral land? Clan Leader, why must we resort to this?!"
All the high-ranking members of the Wan Clan were filled with confusion. Aside from the Sky-Rending Divine Crossbow, there were many heavy weapons within the ancestral land that were inconvenient to take away, as well as a large amount of resources.
These things couldn't all be afforded space and storage, representing accumulations over millions of years.
Moreover, aside from the ancestral land, there were many large tribes nearby, and it would be impossible to evacuate within a single day.
"Leave behind all the supplies! Send the message quickly! We must be fully prepared within two hours!"
Wan Qiong took out several secret medicines, stuffed them into his mouth, and suppressed his injuries with a more urgent tone:
"Bring as much as we can, burn the rest, and ensure that clan members under thirty board the ships first! Inform all tribes to converge towards the Yan Clan!"
Seeing Wan Qiong's urgent urging, the people around him dared not delay any longer and immediately rose into the sky, dispersing in all directions to notify several nearby large tribes.
At the same time, the Great Witches within the Wan Tribe began to act, sending orders across the void to the tribes under the banner of the Wan Clan Alliance.
As he looked at the Sky-Rending Divine Crossbow beside him, Wan Qiong's breathing grew heavier, and he cast talisman seals, connecting them to the talismatic patterns on the Immortal Jade Platform, and formed a series of God Locks to thoroughly seal the Sky-Rending Divine Crossbow.
The spiritual intelligence of high-grade Savage Beasts was already not low, completely capable of operating the Divine Crossbow. This weapon must not fall into the hands of Savage Beasts.
Aside from the power of its arrows, the Sky-Rending Divine Crossbow's ability to seek out Qi and open doors in space could cause great trouble for the Human Race.
After doing all this, Wan Qiong's eyes were filled with thick bloodlines, and he never imagined the Beast Emperor's strength had grown to this point, even capable of acting across the void with the Sky-Rending Divine Crossbow.
In at most one day, that monstrosity would find this place, from start to finish, he only had one chance to act. Now, it was crucial to save the lives of his clan members as much as possible.
While many of the Wan Clan members boarded the ships one after another, Chu Zheng returned to the side of the Sky-Rending Divine Crossbow and looked towards the somewhat disheveled Wan Qiong:
"Clan Leader Wan, I need to make a trip back to the Wangshan Tribe."
The Wangshan Tribe was too weak to withstand the onslaught of the beast tide, he could not just watch these acquaintances be directly devoured by beasts.
The location of the Wangshan Tribe was not too far from the Wan Tribe, and he should be able to get there in time to notify them.
"No need; just stay by my side, I will send someone else to fetch them."
Wan Qiong did not agree; relocating a small tribe of just a few thousand people was simple, anyone could go, but Chu Zheng was indispensable.
This was the hope of the Dongyuan Human Clan.
"Thank you, Clan Leader Wan." Chu Zheng sighed in relief, bowing in gratitude.
"No need, between you and me, it is just a transaction. The Wangshan Tribe is also a part of the Wan Tribe. Even if you hadn't spoken up, I would have sent someone regardless."
Wan Qiong waved his hand, heavily injured and not in the mood for more words: "Board the ship."
His gaze swept across the area inch by inch, his eyes reflecting a complex expression.
To abandon the ancestral land that had been prolonged for a million years, even he could not help but feel a mix of emotions at this moment.
Following Wan Qiong's order, the tribes within the scope of the Wan Clan Alliance began to move, converging in the direction of the Yan Family Alliance.
Now that Savage Beasts were rampant everywhere, many tribes suffered heavy losses, and some were even wiped out entirely.
The ancestral land of the Wan Clan was no exception, trampled flat by the Beast Emperor, with countless lives lost as a result.
Fortunately, the Yan Clan received the news quickly and sent many reinforcements, minimizing the casualties to the greatest extent.
The Great Witch God traversed the world to inspect the battlefield and discovered, somewhat unexpectedly, that the White Tiger, after flattening the Wan Clan's ancestral land, had not taken any further action but instead seemed to have settled beside the Sky-Rending Divine Crossbow, as if it had fallen into slumber.
As each tribe retreated and under the influence of the beast tide, the territory once occupied by the Wan Clan soon fell.
Among the three major clans, the Yan Clan was the strongest, with Yan Bi standing as the current strongest of the Dongyuan Human Clan, and their foundation was deep enough.
Without the interference of the Beast Emperor, the Human Race eventually managed to hold back the vanguard of the beast tide and re-established their defenses.
After this battle, Chu Zheng's Golden Body was mostly destroyed. Due to the chaos of war causing displacement among various tribes, the number of worshippers significantly decreased, and the daily Incense Fire Willpower saw a precipitous decline.
His steadily rising Cultivation faced a setback, but fortunately, this deficit could be supplemented by consuming Spirit Pills, so his realm had not dropped.
Inside the grand hall, the chiefs of the three major Human Race clans came together once again.
This was arguably the most frequent they had seen one another in thousands of years.
Besides the three of them, only Chu Zheng was present.
Wan Qiong's complexion was still deathly pale, his body covered in cracks, his totem shattered, and he had sustained almost incurable serious injuries.
Chu Zheng had examined him with his Spiritual Eye and found that, with his current Repair Master rank, he simply couldn't repair the injuries.
Initially, his rank as a Repair Master was only Zeroth Order, but he had still been able to partially repair the Great Circulatory Qi Guideline of Sixth Order.
Now, his Repair Master rank had reached Sixth Order, yet he could not repair anything of Seventh Order.
The existence of Seventh Order, as well as Eighth Order, apparently held a qualitative difference from those below Sixth Order. Without reaching that level, there was no way to fix the problem.
"This abomination's strength has grown stronger than before; I suspect that it has already set half a foot into the legendary Holy Domain and may soon become a true Holy Beast..."
