Chapter 429 - Dealing With The Aftermath Of The Big War (1/2)

As Gan Xinrui gave several orders atop the towering wall, the chaos in the city was finally controlled and slowly recovered. Ou Yangming stood with his hands behind his back without saying a word, but he became a magic stabilizer by doing that, by which he kept everyone calm.

Feiya City had just experienced havoc like never before, where they lost numerous people and resources. Nonetheless, no matter how great the disturbance was, the higher-ups in the city were not severely injured and had slowly begun to control the disorderly situation.

Wu Hanning and the others approached Ou Yangming. It was not clear whether it was intentional, but Ni Yinghong and Bai s.h.i.+xue were both half a step behind the princess.

Although Ou Yangming had openly expressed that he only had eyes for one person, given the social system of a strict hierarchy, the princess’s status would sometimes have a subtle effect.

“Brother Ou, how did you… Do it?” Wu Hanning asked.

At this point, even Gan Xinrui, who was giving instructions loudly, subconsciously lowered his voice.

None of the Supreme Great Ancestors turned to look at Ou Yangming, but they p.r.i.c.ked up their ears at the same time.

Ou Yangming turned to look at the princess and answered, “It was because of wind and fire.”

“What?” Wu Hanning was shocked.

“Wind and fire-go figure it out yourself,” Ou Yangming responded.

Everyone else kept quiet when they saw how mystifying Ou Yangming was acting. Even though they were secretly gritting their teeth with hatred, due to the remaining effect from the giant fireball, which had just dispersed not long ago, n.o.body dared to question him further.

Nevertheless, the people began to rack their brains to figure out the relations.h.i.+p between wind and fire.

“Since ancient times, wind and fire have always been mentioned together. There’s fire when there’s wind, and there’s wind when there’s fire. It is said that the wind rises to be mightier when the fire blazes,” Yu Hongli expressed after some time, then he looked at Ou Yangming and asked, “Young Master Ou, did you find the fusion path between wind and fire?”

Ou Yangming kept a faint smile on his face; he neither admitted it nor denied it. The young fellow simply turned around and looked into the distance.

Yu Hongli did not have the guts to probe anymore after he was indirectly given a polite refusal. As for the other people, they dared not speak at all because they could not even understand a thing.

In actuality, Ou Yangming was extremely frustrated at this moment.

‘How did I do it?

‘Who am I supposed to ask…’ Ou Yangming had only triggered the purple fire in his sea of consciousness. When the fire rose into the sky, he was already somewhat in a daze.

In a way, he did not know why the purple fire exploded all of a sudden and caused such a fearsome reaction.

The tornado, which frightened Multi-armed King Kong so much that it fled, turned out to be vulnerable against the purple fire. Moreover, what truly left Ou Yangming in utter disbelief was the fact that a tiny person like him could control such an enormous fireball.

Even if Ou Yangming was dumb, he could guess that the purple fire had a significant origin. He figured that it was either the Birds’ ancestor or their natural enemy. If that was not the case, the purple fire could not have displayed such notable might against the Birds Formation.

When Ou Yangming carefully thought about the goshawk’s stance, he vaguely sensed that there was a higher chance the purple fire was the Birds’ ancestor.

Earlier on, Ou Yangming could easily eliminate the goshawk if he wanted to and could totally burn it into ashes.

Despite that, he did not do that because he sensed the goshawk’s will to surrender. It was evident that the goshawk had acted instinctively because it could not have expressed its will so intensely if it was not its true intent.

In other words, without needing to make a move at all, he could have used his mind to order the goshawk to kill itself.

Faced with such a formidable spirit beast, anyone would have wanted to do it. It was different from when Multi-armed King Kong initiated a submission to Ou Yangming; the goshawk submitted because it was captivated by the young fellow’s power, making him feel prouder than before.

Therefore, Ou Yangming decided to spare the goshawk in the end because he felt it was better to control it than to get rid of it.

However, while he achieved that, if he was asked to explain how he made it possible…

Ou Yangming could not explain himself due to his pride, but it did not stop him from flas.h.i.+ng a cool pose. ‘Go ahead and guess the real reason. No matter what you say or ask, I’m just going to keep a straight face.’

At last, the mess in the city was over, but faint cries were heard.

The tangled warfare began with a ma.s.sive battle between the Humans and the Birds. Though Feiya City did not lose many common folks such as the old, the weak, women, and children, there were many injured and dead soldiers. Having said that, when the Birds Formation appeared and the forceful tornado swept the city, everyone was under the same attack.

Not only were corpses sucked into the tornado through its wind-gap, but some common folks in thatched huts suffered the same fate too.
