Chapter 2275: Chapter 2270: West Continent Rises

"Is it possible that accepting the power of the Abyss might also enhance one’s strength?"

Tang Ming suddenly remembered the words of the Nine-headed Goose Deer, and with some excitement, he raised his head and said.

"The power of the Abyss? No, I am from Taoyuan World; I will not accept the power of the Abyss."

Hu Mei’er shook her head repeatedly, seemingly expressing a heartfelt disgust for possessing the bloodline of the Demon Abyss demon.

Tang Ming looked at Hu Mei’er and fell silent.

Tang Ming came from the Mortal World, and his thoughts were somewhat different from the locals of Taoyuan World.

Especially after arriving in the West Desolation, he discovered that the hatred of the local people for the Abyss demons was ingrained. ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Of course, this was also largely due to the Abyss demonizing the lands of the West Desolation.

"Power is not shameful, regardless of where it comes from, as long as it is used properly. This is also what I have always emphasized to Lu Gou and the Zeng Family brothers. You see, isn’t there a lot of demon cultivation in Taoyuan World?"

Tang Ming tried to soften his voice, looking at Hu Mei’er with a gentle smile.

Hu Mei’er shook her head: "If it were in the past, I might have accepted it. But in my memory, when I was a child, my mother was a good wife and a good mother until the day West Continent City was destroyed, she revealed her true nature."

"Sometimes, I wonder if it was because of the influence of the demonic aura that she became like that. Tell me, if I were to absorb the aura of the Abyss, would I also become like my mother?"

Hu Mei’er suddenly raised her head to look at Tang Ming.

Tang Ming squinted his eyes: "No."

"Why not? I am her daughter, born from her. Although my bloodline inherits the essence of the Fox Spirit Mountain Range, it also possesses the aura of the Abyss. Do you know what my true essence is?"

Hu Mei’er looked at Tang Ming excitedly.

Tang Ming reached out and pulled Hu Mei’er into his arms: "No matter what your essence is, you are my woman."

Hu Mei’er nodded, the words on the tip of her tongue swallowed back.

According to Hu Jiusheng’s words, Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er followed Hu Jiusheng to the place where West Continent City submerged back then.

This was a deep valley, obviously deeper than any other place.

Tang Ming looked around, finding no special markings, while Hu Jiusheng revealed his true form.

"Tang Ming, look carefully. This departure formation, I will cast it only once; whether you and Mei’er can learn something depends on your abilities."

The ground began to lift dust, accompanied by rumbling sounds around the deep valley.

Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er’s eyes fell on Hu Jiusheng.

At this moment, Hu Jiusheng transformed into a giant Nine-tailed Fox, his body shimmering with golden light, his nine tails like nine arms, together with his two extended arms, quickly making sealing signs.

With each mark, the array flags planted in the ground flickered, accompanied by more intense tremors from the ground.

Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er stood by the sunken pit of West Continent City, feeling the ground continuously vibrating as a dark-themed ancient city emerged from the ground.

It was a concave-shaped city with its gates at the deepest part of the concave section.

The walls built of bluestone, towering towers, and the powerful crossbows and flashing array plates used to counter demons were all perfectly intact.

"This is West Continent City, the place where your father and I fought together back then."

Hu Jiusheng proudly pointed to West Continent City.

After all, it was he who established this place single-handedly back then.

Tang Ming smirked and then said: "Uncle Hu, remember when I first came to West Desolation? At that time, many people said that West Continent City was over by West Continent Town, yet this place seems to be some distance from West Continent Town."

"Indeed, this city here is West Continent City’s main city, while the one over by West Continent Town is West Continent City’s base. That city is different from this one; it was used to store food and minerals, which is why this city suffered little damage, while that city was flattened,"

Hu Jiusheng sighed heavily and then spoke.

"Don’t worry, the West Desolation will surely be rebuilt in the future. When the demons attack again, they’ll surely come and not return."

Tang Ming smiled at Hu Jiusheng and then said.

According to the agreement between Tang Ming, the Fox Spirit Mountain Range, the Demon Slayer Clan, and Dou Niu Mountain, those in the three clans who needed to rebuild West Continent City entered the city on the afternoon that it rose back up.

Having been submerged underground for many years, many parts of West Continent City accumulated dirt, and some subterranean demon beasts had built nests here. It took a full five days for West Continent City to be repaired and returned to its original state.

"Tang Ming, now that West Continent City has been raised again, our biggest problem has also appeared."

Hu Jiusheng came to Tang Ming’s side, sighed deeply, and then spoke.

"You’re talking about population, right."

Tang Ming replied while standing atop the city walls looking at the desert below.

He had been standing here for an hour; the end of the desert below was the only mountain range in the West Desolation, Demon Origin Mountain, where demons entered the West Desolation from the underground Demon Eye.

"Yes, for West Continent City to operate, the population is too small. Even if many from the Demon Slayer Clan have entered West Continent City, it’s still just a drop in the ocean. Back then, West Continent City was the largest city in Taoyuan World, where almost all the strongest of Taoyuan World gathered."

Hu Jiusheng sighed heavily; remembering the glory of West Continent City, his hatred for his wife grew stronger.

Tang Ming nodded: "I understand, but it can’t be rushed. I’ve already asked Zhou Mo to start recruiting people, and our caravan has also begun moving to other forces within the West Desolation. As long as they’re willing to join us, we can help them purify the demonized lands."

"That might not be easy, after all, the Abyss hasn’t invaded for years; some of the younger generation don’t even remember having such a formidable opponent."

Hu Jiusheng was initially surprised, and then replied.

"Indeed, they don’t remember, but they know what kind of benefits they can gain from purifying demonized lands. Why did everyone in Taoyuan World help the West Desolation fight against the Abyss demons back then? Wasn’t it because the Abyss’s invasion encroached on their interests?"
