“They came from Sixteenth Heaven,” David said calmly. “Find a quiet place for them to rest.”
Feng Qingzi swallowed hard and quickly arranged for people to bring the dozens of people to the guest room.
He himself led the old man to a secret room behind the council building.
Inside the secret room, there were only three people: David, Feng Qingzi, and the old man.
The old man sat on a chair, closed his eyes, and remained silent for a long time.
His hands were shaking slightly, his lips were trembling, and his breathing was heavy, as if he was suppressing something.
“My name is Chu Tianxing.” Finally he spoke, his voice hoarse, “Elder of the Human Resistance Army on Sixteenth Heaven.”
David’s pupils narrowed slightly.
Resistance forces?
“Sixteenth Heaven” Chu Tian’s voice was low, “already mastered by the Gods.”
David’s heart sank.
“The power of the gods on Sixteenth Heaven is far greater than you can imagine.”
Chu Tianxing opened his eyes and looked at David. “They have an organization called the God Clan Alliance. All the branches of the God Clan obey this alliance. The leader of this alliance is a peak rank nine True God.”
“For thousands of years, the gods have expanded their domain. They have oppressed, enslaved, and massacred other races. Humans, beastmen, demons, ghosts all cultivators who are not gods are their enemies.”
“We have resisted for tens of thousands of years. Humans, demi-humans, demons, ghosts, all the races oppressed by the gods united to form a resistance army. We operated in the shadows, raiding the strongholds of the gods, rescuing enslaved cultivators, and searching for weaknesses in the alliance of the gods.”
“But in the past few centuries, the Protoss alliance has become stronger. They discovered our secret base and sent an army several times larger than ours to surround us.”
Chu Tianxing’s voice trembled.
“The battle lasted for three days and three nights. We fought tooth and nail, but we were outnumbered. Our leader used his remaining strength to tear open a gap and allow us to escape.”
“That void crack lasted less than three breaths. Only a few dozen of us managed to escape. The rest have all died.”
He lowered his head, tears dripping onto his hands.
David was silent.
He remembered the figures falling from the sky, the scars on their bodies, and the fear and exhaustion in their eyes.
They did not come to attack; they came to escape.
“What are you going to do?” David asked.
Chu Tianxing raised his head and looked at him.
“Hide.” His voice was soft. “The Protoss Alliance will definitely send people to hunt us down. We must hide and not be discovered by them.”
David was silent for a moment.
“Elder Feng Qingzi, can you arrange a place for them?”
Feng Qingzi nodded quickly: “Yes. Even though the Loose Cultivator Alliance isn’t big, they can still hide a few dozen people.”
“Thank You.” Chu Tianxing stood up and bowed deeply to Feng Qingzi.
Feng Qingzi immediately helped him up: “No, no, no, you are a senior, you can’t do this.”
Chu Tianxing shook his head and looked at David.
“Young man, what is your name?”
“David.”
“David…” Chu Tianxing repeated the name, then nodded. “I will remember you. Thank you.”
David shook his head: “No need to thank me. I am human too.”
He turned around and walked out of the secret room.
When David returned to the Tianlang tribe, it was already dusk.
Lang Hao and Yun Xi were waiting at the camp entrance. They both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him return.
“Where are those people?” Lang Hao asked.
“They have settled in the Loose Cultivator Alliance.” David walked into the camp. “They came from Sixteenth Heaven. Sixteenth Heaven has been overrun by the God Race; they fled.”
Lang Hao’s expression changed. “Sixteenth Heaven is controlled by the gods?”
“Yes.” David sat in the tent and conveyed Chu Tianxing’s words in detail.
After listening, Lang Hao was silent for a long time. Yun Xi’s expression was also very unpleasant.
“If the gods of Sixteenth Heaven send people there…” Yunxi’s voice was tight, “then the Hall of Judgment would not be destroyed so easily.”
David nodded.
“Therefore, our plans need to be changed.”
He stood up and walked towards the map.
“Originally, we planned to launch a preemptive attack on the Hall of Judgment. But now, we cannot act rashly. If the gods of the Sixteenth Heaven really send people there, a hasty attack will only lead to our destruction.”
“We have to move quickly. The Judgment Hall is probably already on its way. Let’s stay temporarily at the Free Farmers’ Alliance.”
“At the same time, I will inform Ying Wuji to also lead his men to the Loose Cultivator Alliance.”
“Yunxi, tell your father that Youyue Kingdom is no longer safe. Gather all the resources and head to the Loose Cultivator Alliance.”
“We must unite our forces and defend them at all costs, so that we are not defeated one by one by the Court of Justice.”
David’s face looked serious. If the gods were really being chased by enemies descending from the sixteenth heaven, then they would be in danger.
“Okay, let’s get started!” Lang Hao and Yun Xi nodded in unison!
Even though many members of the Sirius tribe were reluctant to leave their homeland, they still left with all their resources when faced with a life and death situation!
After receiving the news, Yunquan and Ying Wuji immediately led their men towards the Free Cultivator Alliance!
