Chapter 708 - Farewell, the Remnants of Tianhai City
By the time Lu Xuan returned to the Holy Sun Continent, several days had already passed since he left.
Near Tianhai City, endless clouds of blood hovered in the sky above everything. There was a feeling of desolation everywhere. All the creatures had been sucked dry of their essence and blood, as they had all been absorbed by the nearby blood pool.
A group of thousands of people seemed to have been hiding inside a secluded valley. They were all sitting silently on the ground, looking at the endless clouds of blood high up in the sky. It was as if they could hear creatures howling from outside.
These were all of the survivors from Tianhai City, as they hid in this valley. Through the boundary in the valley, they were able to avoid being slaughtered into a mass of blood.
That kind of tragic and cruel scene reverberated in everyone’s minds. Even though a few days had passed since then, they were not able to recover from the trauma.
None of these people were ordinary; they were all top experts of Tianhai City. All of the ordinary people had been killed before they even had a chance to escape.
Up until now, there were still the elites of Yunlong Village. Some unknown elite troops were also searching everywhere for these elites.
The very thought brought them into a state of despair over the future. There seemed to be no room for them to live at all.
Suddenly, a figure cut through the sky. Not even the boundary in the valley could stop him. He had ignored the boundary and directly traveled through it.
Only the people with the sharpest eyes could see that the figure did not seem to have passed through the boundary, but instead had directly appeared inside the boundary after a flicker.
At first, everyone thought that this person was a strong enemy invading the valley. It was only later on when they realized who it was.
“It’s Great Ancestor Lu!”
Among everyone present, one expert of the Xu family reacted immediately. When he saw the figure, he was instantly overjoyed.

“It’s Old Monster Lu!”
The other experts of Tianhai City also wore joyous expressions at the sight of the figure. Although they were regarded as one another’s enemies in the past, it was obvious that they now felt much closer to Lu Xuan.
They naturally had a sense of closeness, especially now that bloody massacres ran rampant throughout the entire land.
Even the words ‘Old Monster Lu’ sounded very pleasing to the ears right now.
In particular, the people of the Xu family felt as if they had met a savior.
“Young master!”
At that moment, a distant light swept over. A figure immediately appeared in front of Lu Xuan.
This person was none other than the Great Ancestor of the Wang family, Wang Rulai.
Wang Rulai wore an overjoyed expression on his face upon seeing Lu Xuan.
For him, this was a calamity that he could not fight against.
Had Lu Xuan never reminded them to leave a bit earlier, they would have most likely died by now.
Everything was in a mess, with no news outside. Not a single person dared to leave the valley.
This valley was one of the places where the Wang family had prepared in the past to use as a refuge. All kinds of daily necessities had already been prepared here for staying there long-term. Therefore, there was no shortage of supplies if they stayed here for a certain period of time.
Their security was also guaranteed; not only was the valley hidden well enough from plain sight, but multiple generations of the Wang family had constantly strengthened the boundary. However, there was no helping the fact that the people were very panicked right now.
This was even harder for Wang Rulai because, among the people who were taking refuge, he was the only Great Ancestor in the Divine Transformation Realm. All the Great Ancestors of the other families had pretty much died in the hands of the red-browed immortal near the secret realm of Tianhai.
Wang Rulai only had time to bring a group of people from Tianhai City to this valley.
Now the future was even more uncertain. The others were okay right now. As the Great Ancestor of the Wang family and the only expert in all of Tianhai City, however, Wang Rulai would have been at the top of the enemy’s list. Therefore, even if other people could walk away, it was impossible for him to escape.
Now, seeing Lu Xuan brought him immense joy. No matter what happened, young master Lu Xuan was very important to him. Therefore, he became more obedient, and there was not the slightest sense of defiance within him.
“I’m so glad you guys are still alive!”
Lu Xuan glanced at the thousands of people in the entire valley. It was obvious that Wang Rulai had followed his instructions and left almost immediately, leading these people to escape in the shortest possible amount of time.
Of course, it was impossible to lead everyone away from the city. At least he was able to lead away some of the elites from Tianhai City. Their safety meant that it was possible to rebuild Tianhai City in the future.
Lu Xuan had found this place by sensing where Wang Rulai was.
After forging a master-servant contract with Wang Rulai, Lu Xuan could find him whenever he wanted. This was very convenient.
Wang Rulai quickly said, “It’s all thanks to the young master reminding me. Otherwise, I’m afraid that we would have been doomed. None of us would have escaped!”
Everyone in the valley was extremely shocked by what he had said. They felt as if they had heard wrong; nobody expected Wang Rulai to refer to Lu Xuan as “young master”.
The members of the Wang family, in particular, were even more shocked.
Elites of different valleys were hiding in this valley, but only the Wang family still had their Great Ancestor. Because the Wang family had the most experts, they were considered above the rest of the families in the valley.
People of the Wang family had felt slightly proud of themselves; they had sensed that they were different, slightly superior, from the others.
Now, they heard that their proud Great Ancestor had been enslaved by someone else and worshipping that person as a young master.
How could they accept this?!
However, they quickly responded. Anyone else might’ve not been able to accept this. Against Lu Xuan, who had been invincible all over the world, they were able to accept that fact and knew that they would try their best. It was also natural for their Great Ancestor to be incapable of resisting such an existence.
On the contrary, the Xu family, who had Lu Xuan in charge, felt a little proud when they heard Wang Rulai, the Great Ancestor of the Wang family, worship their Great Ancestor.
Although this Great Ancestor had only been known for over a month, it did not stop them from being proud of Lu Xuan, who was the real Great Ancestor of their family.
He was like the Xu family’s last hope whom they grasped onto when they were in complete despair!
At that moment, Wang Rulai quickly told Lu Xuan, “Young master, right now it’s a huge mess outside, and I don’t know what is going on. It seems that the people of Yunlong Village have suddenly made a move! I had sent out a few groups of people to explore the surrounding area, but none of them have returned. It is obvious that a disaster has occurred!”
Lu Xuan nodded and said, “There are elite troops patrolling everywhere outside. It’s not just the people from Yunlong Village out there. The experts of the Divine Blood Church are also involved. I’m afraid that something has happened to the confidants you sent out!”
