Chapter 545: Chapter 339: The Exiled Human Clan! Descendants of Xuanwu!_3

"Get to work, my master is still waiting." Little White Ape seemed very helpless and said, "Holding a bone, trying to stab me to death? If it weren’t for my slightly late arrival that scared you, I wouldn’t even give you a piece of bird meat..."

"You..." The man felt dry in the mouth and tongue.

"Enough, I’m domesticated, not wild." Little White Ape spread his hands and said, "Let’s go, my master has already started the fire over there. This time, since I scared you, if I don’t make amends, he’ll say that I lack manners and upbringing..."

"Domesticated?"

The man was even more astonished.

"Hurry up and bring the bird along."

Little White Ape moved his body, suddenly swelled in size, and said, "Your child has fainted, and you’ve dropped your belongings. I’ll help you carry them back... Otherwise, would you still need to help me with this bird?"

——

Lin Yan had already built the fire, arranged stones to form a makeshift pot, and boiled the water.

Then they heard rustling sounds in the woods, and after a while, they saw a white ape carrying a little girl on its back with a bundle in one hand.

Behind it, the couple followed with weak knees, full of fear.

Looking at the robust, white-furred figure, their hearts were filled with utmost terror.

Then, they saw by the roadside a young man sitting, tending a fire under a stone pot with boiling water beneath the flames.

Seeing the young man, the couple exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.

The winged white ape was truly a domesticated demon!

"There’s no need to be afraid. I was about to cook this Cloud Wing Bird. You can join us and eat some."

Lin Yan glanced at them, smiled, and said, "This white ape is a creature I’ve raised, not a malignant demon."

The couple looked at each other, still feeling extremely uncomfortable and anxious.

Observing the elegantly clad young man’s extraordinary bearing, and knowing he was able to raise a talking demon, along with the horse covered in scales beside him, he was certainly not a common person but must be a significant figure from a city.

In their past interactions, they had only dealt with traveling merchant caravans, trading hunted game, herbs, and woven items for food and clothing.

In their lifetime, they’d never really dealt with real dignitaries and surely dared not share a meal of demon meat with such a person.

"..."

Seeing their predicament, Lin Yan glanced at Little White Ape and said, "Take that Cloud Wing Bird, prepare it properly, and then come back."

With a grunt, Little White Ape dared not say more, put down the child, took the Cloud Wing Bird, and went off into the distance.

Lin Yan then beckoned them over with a wave.

Seeing the young girl who was about the same age as Lin Xiaoyue, Lin Yan sighed.

He had been born and raised in High Willow City, where three generations were crammed into a small tiled house, and the elders toiled day and night just to scrape together three meals a day, which he found to be a life of hardship.

But the sufferings endured by the Human Clan who were refugees in the Pure Land was something he had never truly experienced.

When he first awakened his innate wisdom, Lin Yan even doubted that any of the Human Clan could survive outside of High Willow City.

Yet, from ancient times to the present, the Human Clan had been surviving like this, protected by various Pure Lands, struggling on generation after generation, like the seeds of wild grass scattered everywhere.

Even Lin Yan’s ancestors had once been refugees in the Pure Land before settling in High Willow City.

"You are..." Upon seeing his attire, the middle-aged man spoke quietly, "Could it be you are from the Observatory?"

"You know of the Observatory?" Lin Yan asked, surprised.

"My ancestors were from Feng City."

Afterward, the man began to speak of his family’s history, pride evident in his tone regarding his ancestors’ glory.

Lin Yan frowned slightly.

He had heard of the disturbances in Feng City.

Tribulation Ash had wreaked havoc there, with immense repercussions.

It was after that battle that Qifeng Prefecture began to place more significance on Feng City.

Three years ago, when Tribulation Ash stirred trouble in Feng City, it was quickly suppressed, and the resulting damage was significantly less, but many still died in the famine that year.

"Tribulation Ash..."

Lin Yan’s eyes narrowed with determination as memories of past events surged, fueling his killing intent even more.

Seeing his reaction, the middle-aged man grew fearful, worrying that his words or actions might have offended the other.

Lin Yan, sensing the man’s fear, immediately put his thoughts aside and smiled, "Big brother, where do you plan to go now?"

Following the man’s reply,

Lin Yan fell silent for a moment, then said, "High Willow City is newly built and in need of craftsmen. You and your wife could go there! However, High Willow City is a bit further from here. I can point you to another place, where a city is being built..."

The couple immediately showed a look of joy.

However, the man seemed to remember something, his expression falling again as he said softly, "I’m not a craftsman, though I have the strength. But my wife and child..."

Seeing their reaction, Lin Yan understood and pondered, "Are you afraid that if the new city hires you, they will not take in your wife and child?"

The man nodded right away.

Lin Yan took a piece of paper from his sleeve, concentrated his True Qi on it, and wrote.

"This is my token. Follow the route I show you, and there will be people who will take in your family."

"You..."

The couple couldn’t believe their luck, trembling hands made them too scared to even accept the offer.

"If you encounter other people on the way who have nowhere to go, you can let them join you."

As Lin Yan was speaking, they suddenly heard Little White Ape cry out not far away.

His gaze sharpening, Lin Yan suddenly extended his hand.

Using his True Qi, he swiftly caught the Cloud Wing Bird that had been plucked of half its feathers right into his hand.

The Cloud Wing Bird struggled and suddenly spoke in human language, shouting, "Release me... Release... Do you know who my master is? You worthless Saint Master, your end is near!"
