Chapter 424: Chapter 195 Hanging on the Tree_3

Now, with the death of the previous emperor, we are preparing to leave Lin Kingdom and head to the Ancient God Alliance," Master Wang announced, his words tinged with a hint of uncertainty for the future.

It was evident that the Wang Family had long been prepared for this migration.

The changing times affected even the most central individuals, prompting them to relocate.

"Feiwu City should also prepare early," Master Wang added, "If the Huang Family wishes to leave, we, the Wang family, are willing to lend assistance."

The Wangs and the Huangs have been acquainted for generations.

After a brief conversation, Master Wang took her leave, not choosing to spend the night in Feiwu City.

Watching Master Wang’s coach receding into the distance, Huang Mengying’s expression hardened. "Send an update on this matter to the Origin Celestial Lord," she ordered.

The carriage departed under the camouflage of darkness, carrying passengers whose faces were wrought with stress.

Lifting the window curtain, Master Wang gazed at the bustling Feiwu City and sighed, "After the arrival of the Evil God, who knows when Feiwu City will transform into a ghost realm."

Believing in the Evil God may bring short-term prosperity, but once assimilated, individuals become nothing more than walking corpses.

Such an ending is unacceptable to bourgeois families of their position.

Of course, some Evil Gods do offer benefits that have won the allegiance of numerous families and even ancient gods.

Seemingly recalling something, a soft voice asked, "Master Wang, do you think that the Ancient God from Qing Shui village will leave?"

On their journey, they had received news about the events transpiring in Feiwu City.

They were intrigued by the Ancient God of Qing Shui village.

"Looking at his setup, he’s unlikely to leave," assessed Master Wang.

One’s private domain reveals much about an Ancient God’s mindset.

Take the Wang family – although they used to live in Feiwu City, they have been steadily scaling down their businesses, selling off their fixed assets.

These actions suggest the Wang family has been preparing for an escape at any moment.

In contrast to Qing Shui Village, according to the information obtained by Master Wang, this village places great importance on agriculture and continually cultivates farmland.

There is no sign of them planning to move away.

"Now, heading to the Ancient God Alliance would be the best outcome," stated Wang Wenya.

At this point, a man chimed in, "Perhaps he is unwilling to forsake his subjects."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the carriage fell silent.

Time wore on and the caravan continued to move at a slow pace.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.

"Routine check!"

"Routine checks" were standard practice as the caravan travelled through various cities and towns.

In regions ruled by the Evil God, the purpose was to check for Ancient God spies.

In Ancient God territories, it served to check for minions of the Evil God.

Upon hearing the voice, Wang Wenya pulled back the curtain. Recognizing the figure, she exclaimed in surprise, "Zhao Zun, it’s you!"

"Wenya?" Zhao Zun recognized Wang Wenya.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing Zhao Zun filled Wang Wenya with joy.

Though once classmates during her academy days, their relationship had been normal at best. However, Zhao Zun had disappeared without a trace after a tragedy struck his family a year ago.

"A calamity befell my family, so I sought refuge here," Zhao Zun briefly explained his past to Wang Wenya.

Upon hearing his story, Wang Wenya was filled with mix emotions, shocked by the turn of events for Zhao’s family.

Their former classmate had suffered so tremendously.

"Now, you follow the Origin Celestial Lord?" Wang Wenya asked curiously. Remembering their past camaraderie, she added, "War is imminent... perhaps you would like to leave this conflict-ridden place with me?"

"No need," Zhao Zun declined with a determined look in his eyes, "My future was given to me by the Celestial Lord, I won’t leave."

Becoming an Arhat bestowed by the Dragon brought about a change; he was not the former Zhao Zun anymore.

Wang Wenya was a bit puzzled; she didn’t understand Zhao Zun’s adamant stance.

Nevertheless, as he was unwilling to leave, she would not press any further.

Returning to the carriage, she felt a sense of desolation.

At this point, Master Wang asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Were your classmate this strong before?"

"Hmm?" A puzzled Wang Wenya didn’t understand Master Wang’s question.

"With his strength, how could he have lost his fortune to Zhao Si?" Master Wang had a confused expression.

"Wasn’t he just a nascent god?" Wang Wenya was perplexed.

"He is not a nascent god; if he wished, all of us in this carriage would probably have to stay here," asserted Master Wang ominously.

As the head of the Wang family, her power is at its peak.

Yet, facing Zhao Zun, she had a premonition; she was simply no match for him.

"How can that be, how could he become so strong!" Wang Wenya could not understand.

It was just one year of separation, yet had he crossed such a significant boundary?

"Perhaps, it has something to do with him referring to himself as the Dragon-endowed Arhat," Master Wang pondered aloud, "It’s no wonder, he is willing to swear allegiance to the Guardian God of Qing Shui village.

To boost his strength to its peak in such a short time, his god-watching technique must have a high level."

Of course, as much as they admired and envied him,

The Wang family wouldn’t stay in Qing Shui Village, swearing loyalty to the so-called Guardian God of Qing Shui Village.

Heading to the Ancient God Alliance is the only way to survive in this fallen area.
