Chapter 1062: Chapter 132: What Is the Human Clan?

Pei Laoliu has been accidentally transmitted to this world using the Teleportation Technique for forty-five days now.

Although he’s trapped here, after spending some time living on this continent, he has developed some feelings for it.

Moreover, this place perfectly resembles ancient Huaxia, which adds to his sense of identification.

Thus, this is also the reason why he decided to stay and do his utmost to help the city’s inhabitants slay demons and eliminate monsters.

However, the extent of this help is limited.

Master Liu never considered himself a hero concerned with the world.

Upon learning that the opponent’s strength far exceeded his own, he started to subtly consider retreating and was contemplating whether to leave.

“With my current strength, if I were to face a Great Demon in the Transformation Stage, it would clearly be insufficient. Even with the Mountain and River Sword, it might not work…”

“Moreover, the demon is currently undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation. If it succeeds, then I surely won’t be its match. It might be better to flee now…”

“If it fails the Tribulation, then there’s no need for me to intervene; the Heavenly Tribulation will turn it to dust…”

“So, actually, Master Liu here isn’t running away. You could call it… what kind of tactical retreat was that called?”

Pei Laoliu stood by the window, staring intently at the accumulating thunderclouds in the distant sky, his heart in internal conflict.

In fact, when facing difficulties, oftentimes there is only one factor supporting a person to act; but when choosing to avoid, one can find countless reasons.

Behind him, Yan Jiantong gazed at Master Liu’s back, with a look as if he wanted to speak but hesitated.

Over the time they lived closely together, they have already come to understand each other quite a bit.

Regarding Master Liu’s abilities, Yan Jiantong wasn’t blindly worshipful like at the beginning.

He had read some of the sect texts about the Cultivation World in the Book Storage Building and understood the power of a Great Demon in the Transformation Stage, probably too much for Master Liu to deal with now.

Therefore, deep down, Yan Jiantong really hoped the other would just stop.

Yet, at the same time, he also understood what that meant.

This would mean that if the demon succeeded in the Tribulation, the millions of residents in Han Yue City could face a catastrophe.

The entire city would turn into a dead city, with million dead souls hovering above this land.

Just imagining such a scene sends shivers down one’s spine.

So, though Yan Jiantong wanted to speak up several times, in the end, he suppressed his words and remained silent.

He couldn’t say it, nor dared to.

Even though he had killed many people in his life, the pressure of facing those millions was not at all on the same level.

Li Qiang also thought of this, biting his teeth and clenching his fists, wanting to persuade Master Liu to abandon those people, but the words always got stuck in his throat.

Lacking psychological burden perhaps most was Li Mu.

He’s been busily practicing the Outer Sect disciples’ body refining technique, and knows little about these sect texts.

He hadn’t even fully learned the characters, so seldom did he read on his own.

He only knew that some terrifying Heavenly Thunder appeared over there, and it must be quite difficult for the monster to pass this Tribulation.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but chuckle, appearing somewhat carefree.

“Heh, Master Liu, maybe you don’t need to take action this time, that Heavenly Thunder might strike the monster dead. Even if not, it probably wouldn’t have much life left in it.”

After speaking, he found another window, looking out at the thunderclouds, feeling the majestic heavenly power, mixed with a sense of novelty in his shock.

Li Mu was inherently simple-minded and didn’t think much before speaking or acting, a personality some might call naturally straightforward, or, more bluntly, foolishly honest.

Li Qiang and Yan Jiantong had gotten used to it, and didn’t pay much heed at the moment.

However, Master Liu at the front had a slight change in expression, his previously firm resolve wavering.

“Li Mu is right, although the demon is formidable, surely after passing this Transformation Heavenly Tribulation, its strength would greatly decrease, possibly leaving it heavily injured or near death…”

“I don’t need to fight hard; I could just observe from afar… If the demon is as critically injured as I predicted, perhaps I can seize the chance to eliminate it…”

“If things really don’t work out, I have the Sword Control Technique, escaping shouldn’t be a problem… Yeah… this approach should be feasible… but I still need to send these youngsters back first, otherwise they will be a burden…”

Pei Laoliu stood by the window, frowning and pondering.

Apparently, Li Mu’s words had gradually dissuaded him from his idea of leaving.

Or rather, it wasn’t Li Mu who changed his mind, but he found an excuse for himself to do something ‘foolish.’

Taking a deep breath, Pei Laoliu turned his head, with a fighting spirit emerging in his eyes.

Master Liu has never been the hesitating type, once he finalized his plan, he intended to implement it immediately.

Yan Jiantong, seeing his expression, sighed secretly, intending to say something but heard the other speak first:

“Ziyuan, you all should be aware of the situation outside. The coming days in Han Yue City will be extremely dangerous. Master Liu here can’t take care of you, so I’ll send you back now.”
