Chapter 2109 - 2110: The Creature in the River

Ling Zhenfei was somewhat surprised, unsure of what was causing the glow in the river.

The light seemed very special, certainly something incredibly powerful.

Ling Zhenfei hesitated, wondering if the rumor that the Star Lord hid four encircled items in this Peach Blossom Secret Realm was true.

But Ling Zhenfei did not dwell on it; even if there was truly a treasure in the river, he dared not retrieve it easily.

It wasn't fear of the monsters in the river attacking, but rather the fear that removing something from the river would affect the Peach Blossom Secret Realm.

After crossing the river, he still hadn't been attacked by any river monsters; it was indeed the first time he hadn't faced an attack, and the exact reason Ling Zhenfei couldn't fathom.

Ling Zhenfei emerged from the Peach Blossom Secret Realm Map to see the sky outside had already brightened, and Alice was standing at the cave's entrance, looking down.

The Lightning Bird was no longer in the cave, perhaps gone hunting.

Ling Zhenfei walked toward the cave entrance, and upon seeing him, Alice was extremely shocked.

"Are your injuries already healed?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Yes, they are healed now. Thank you for your help."

Alice said, "No need to thank me."

Ling Zhenfei walked out and looked toward the direction within the canyon. His vision was now even more impressive, seeing that there were fewer people in the canyon.

However, there were many more corpses. Now, around the canyon, he couldn't tell how many had died; it even felt like a river of blood.

Whether human or from foreign races, bodies and blood had stained the ground red.

Ling Zhenfei said, "What has happened now?"

Alice said, "Last night, both sides broke out into fierce battles, and humans found out the Heavenly God Sword was fake. Both sides suffered heavy losses in the battle."

Ling Zhenfei asked, "So where are the people now, where did they all go?"

Anyway, they're no longer in the canyon. Humans have dispersed and retreated in groups, and battles are happening everywhere.

Ling Zhenfei said, "This is quite strange. Based on your Supreme God's plan, shouldn't humans have been completely annihilated in the canyon? How did such a detailed plan fail?"

Alice said, "It seems your human lives were destined for survival. You all were nearly killed, but at a critical moment, a team appeared, and their strength was formidable.

They directly attacked the South Gate from the outside. Our people suffered heavy casualties, saving you humans from crisis."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned upon hearing this; he couldn't imagine why a human team would appear at this time when all cultivators should have already been here.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "What were these cultivators wearing?"

Alice said, "The clothing of these people was divided into three colors, but it looked quite neat: blue, white, and cyan."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback; white and blue, those colors were too familiar.

The disciples of Wuliang Mountain wore white clothes, and Murong Liuqing had always worn white, while the blue clothes should belong to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, which wore blue.

Could it be that the people who came were from Wuliang Mountain and the Shu Mountain Sword Sect?

But weren't they prevented from coming?

This was Ling Zhenfei's speculation; he wouldn't believe it until he saw them, but the current situation was that the humans had escaped and hadn't been annihilated by the foreign races in the canyon.

Ling Zhenfei let out a long sigh.

"Are you happy now?" Alice asked.

"I should be happy now, but what does it have to do with me?" Ling Zhenfei said as he walked out of the cave.

He whistled to the sky, and the Lightning Bird flew over from afar, landing at Ling Zhenfei's side.

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

Ling Zhenfei said to Alice.

Alice climbed onto the Lightning Bird, which took off into the air and then headed into the distance.

The Lightning Bird didn't fly too fast, so Ling Zhenfei and Alice could see what was happening on the ground.

Alice said, "I really didn't expect the Supreme God's plan to fail. That human team was hidden until now; it's truly beyond imagination."

Ling Zhenfei became more suspicious that the team was indeed from Wuliang Mountain and the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. They might have arrived late, not because they were hiding, but because they were originally delayed.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Now everything is chaotic. Both sides have suffered great losses, and the Heavenly God Sword's whereabouts are unknown, so everything has reverted to its previous state."

Alice said, "That's right, everything returned to the way it was before, with fights everywhere and each for themselves again."

Ling Zhenfei said, "This is actually not good; before there was a target, now without a target, it means the target has expanded. The Heavenly God Sword might be in some tribe or group.

If humans seek the Heavenly God Sword, war is inevitable, and the cultivators or the old, weak, and women within those tribes could be caught in slaughter."

Alice was shocked and said, "You really thought things through. If humans enter our territory, it will truly be bad."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Indeed, both sides suffered heavily, but those left are all experts, and their power cannot be underestimated."

Peach Blossom Fairy said, "Our homeland is very far, so perhaps the damage we'll suffer will be lesser."

Ling Zhenfei said, "There's no distinction between near and far; as long as your race might hide the Heavenly God Sword, you can never escape."

Alice said, "Then what should we do?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "The only way might be to find the location of the Heavenly God Sword and spread the news."

Alice scoffed and said, "You villain, trying to get information about the Heavenly God Sword from me again. But I'm telling you, you're wrong; I have no idea where the Heavenly God Sword is."

Ling Zhenfei said, "That's why once I send you back to your tribe, I'll have to find the Heavenly God Sword's location."

Alice curiously said, "You want to find the Heavenly God Sword's location to prevent the tribes on the Foreign Land from suffering disaster?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Yes, is there something wrong with that?"

Alice said, "You're human; why would you help us?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "I help no one. Whether human or from foreign races, they are all vibrant lives. Isn't peace better?"

Alice said incredulously, "So there are good people among you humans too."

Ling Zhenfei said, "People are inherently good at birth; it's just that our positions differ. If I kill the Supreme God now, I'd be a hero to humans, but to the foreign races, I'd be the Great Demon King.

It's because we stand in different positions that we have such completely opposite results."

Alice nodded silently, seeming to understand something.

Ling Zhenfei looked down to see the clash of swords below, as humans and foreign races were engaged in battle.
