Chapter 109 - After the War

On the city wall, when the city guards realized that Wang Yi had suddenly appeared, they could not help but burst into fierce cheers.

“Victory! Victory! Victory!”

“The Venerable is invincible. The Venerable has suppressed all enemies in the wilderness!”



Wang Yi stood on the city wall and listened to the cheers. He saw the excitement and fanaticism on their faces. He also saw the smiles on the faces of the injured sergeants. He had always wanted to do something for them.

His spiritual power controlled the power of the world again, sweeping through the spirit qi in a radius of hundreds of kilometers. In an instant, a spiritual qi storm that enveloped the entire city wall was formed.

At this moment, the spiritual qi on the city wall was so dense that it was almost impossible to dissipate it. It was as if the city wall was covered by a layer of fog and the situation inside could not be seen clearly.

Even in the thick fog, countless drops of spiritual qi liquid condensed. The density of the spiritual qi contained in this liquid was terrifying.

Wang Yi controlled the endless spiritual qi that gathered. Then, the spiritual qi surged into the bodies of everyone on the city wall.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Almost instantly, the sound of things shattering came from the bodies of countless city guards, as if some kind of bottleneck had been broken.

Someone clenched his fists and punched at the void, producing a terrifying sonic boom. He shouted excitedly, “I… I’ve broken through to the advanced stage of Rank-2.”

There were also people whose aura surged and emitted a powerful aura. They shouted in surprise, “Haha! I broke through too. I advanced to Rank-3!”

Meanwhile, someone stood rooted to the ground and rubbed his wound that had completely disappeared. He said in disbelief, “My injury… My injury has actually healed.”

At this moment, the city wall had already become chaotic. Everyone went through unbelievable changes.

In just a few breaths, the dense spirit qi was directly fused into everyone’s bodies by Wang Yi.

Furthermore, in these few breaths of time, a miracle happened.

The serious injuries that the martial artists had suffered became light injuries. Some of the injuries they suffered were even directly healed.

Meanwhile, all the lightly injured martial artists recovered from their injuries, and some of them even experienced an improvement in their cultivation levels.

As for the martial artists who were not injured, their cultivation levels had all increased. At the very least, they had broken through by a minor level. Some even directly broke through to the next realm.

Among them, several lucky ones who were at the peak of Rank-3 directly crossed the chasm between the Battle Soldier Rank and the Battle Warrior Rank. As a result, they became Battle Warrior-Rank martial artists.

Fang Mingze also took this opportunity to break through to the middle of Rank-4. Meanwhile, the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Technique improved greatly.

Even Fang Yuan and Tang Zhenyu, who were Grandmaster-Realm experts, benefited greatly. After all, there were still traces of the power of the world in the boundless spirit qi from Wang Yi.

The moment the spirit qi disappeared, Wang Yi also retreated from that special state. Although his spiritual power could still barely control the power of the world, he no longer had the absolute control like he had earlier.

At this moment, the few Rank-9 grandmasters from Langya County City in the distance were already dumbfounded. Although they were in high positions, they had never seen such a shocking scene where tens of thousands of people were breaking through at the same time.

However, the people on the city wall were even more dumbfounded than them. What had just happened was like a dream. No one could imagine that such a breakthrough could happen.

All the martial artists who had broken through did not feel that they had encountered any bottlenecks. They simply crossed over to the next realm.

Without needing Fang Yuan and the others to take the lead, everyone consciously knelt on one knee again and shouted in unison, “We thank you, Lord Venerable!”

Wang Yi could not help but support his forehead with his hand. Why did they kneel down again? After exiting that special state, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to kill them with a roar. However, it would be difficult for him to lift them up like before.

To be honest, Wang Yi did not feel uncomfortable at all when the Rank-9 grandmasters from Langya County City knelt down to him.

However, the group of people who were implicated in this battle because of him was also kneeling there, making him feel awkward.

He could only speak again, his voice spreading throughout the city wall. “Get up!”

At this moment, everyone’s expressions were fanatical as they shouted in unison again, “Yes!”

Then, the city wall fell into a strange silence. The atmosphere was a little awkward. At this moment, Fang Yuan suddenly stood up and looked around at everyone before ordering, “Eliminate the red alert.”

“Everyone, clean up the bodies of your brothers.”

At this point, Fang Yuan’s voice trembled a little, but he quickly covered it up. He continued, “Return to the city immediately and form groups of 20 people to maintain order in the city. Settle the injured citizens properly and calculate the casualties in the city.”

The moment he issued this order…

The city guards displayed the discipline that belonged solely to an army of martial artists. Almost instantly, they split into countless 20-person teams and headed into the city. The corpses of the soldiers who died in battle were also collected.

Before long, only Wang Yi and the others were left on the empty city wall.

At this moment, Fang Yuan suddenly bowed deeply to Wang Yi and said solemnly, “On behalf of the millions of people in Cang City, I thank Venerable Wang for saving my life.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Yi’s expression was a little unnatural. He let out a long sigh and said, “This matter started because of me. Naturally, I should be the one to resolve it. There’s no need to thank me.”

Before Fang Yuan could speak, Fang Mingze simply said, “I’m sorry if I offend you, but I can’t agree with your words, Sir.”

“It’s a fact that Sir took action. It’s also a fact that the tens of millions of people in Cang City survived because of Sir.”

“Sir, you said that this matter started because of you, but there’s no need to take this to heart as a result.”

“The human race and the beast race are mortal enemies to begin with. However, Sir killed the beasts today. This is already a great victory for the Langya Domain that has never happened in nearly a hundred years.”

“For the Cang City to be able to play such an important role in this great victory, I think those soldiers who died will also feel honored. They won’t regret dying in battle because of this.”

Fang Yuan’s eyes flashed with relief when he heard his son’s words. He could not help but nod secretly.

Tang Zhenyu, who was beside them, also agreed.

Wang Yi knew that Fang Mingze was telling the truth, but he still couldn’t get over it. However, he was not prepared to continue pestering him about this matter, so he said directly, “You don’t have to accompany me here.”

“There are many things happening in the city right now. Everyone needs you to take charge and settle those who are affected.” With that, Wang Yi turned around and prepared to leave.

Fang Yuan looked troubled when he saw this. He braced himself and stopped Wang Yi. “Sir Wang, wait.”

When Wang Yi heard this, he stopped in his tracks and asked curiously, “What else is there?”

Seeing Wang Yi stop, Fang Yuan was straightforward. He pointed at the countless beast corpses outside the city and said, “Sir, how should we deal with these?”

To be honest, Fang Yuan could not be blamed for being in such a difficult position.

Logically speaking, these were all Wang Yi’s spoils of war. However, Wang Yi turned around and left without saying anything. This made things a little difficult.
