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

It was worth noting that this was the outcome only because Ou Yangming released his fire to set the tornado on fire. Had the tornado continued to wreck the city, the city would have been gone by now.

That said, Ou Yangming did his best but was left with no choice after he burned the tornado. Even if there were survivors inside, they ended up dying because of the fire.

At the end of the day, the war caused substantial casualties in the city. Once it was over, numerous people began to grieve.

The people were overwhelmed with sorrow because they either lost close ones or could not bear the fact that many people in the city went missing

Ou Yangming turned gloomy after he scanned the city. Ni Yinghong suddenly approached him and held his hand, then she noted softly, “Lil’ Ming, it wasn’t your fault.”

Wu Hanning and the others were stunned. ‘What does she mean?’ Even so, Ou Yangming smiled bitterly and responded, “Elder Sister Ying, if I was more powerful, perhaps I could’ve saved more lives.” “You did your best.” Ni Yinghong smiled and rested her forehead against his. “Don’t overthink it. As long as you gave your all, you don’t need to regret it.”

Ou Yangming nodded after some thought. “Thanks, Elder Sister Ying.”

Wu Hanning and Bai s.h.i.+xue exchanged glances after seeing how Ou Yangming and Ni Yinghong looked at each other.

The princess and the young pavilion master were gifted ladies with different strengths. While Ni Yinghong came from an inherited aristocratic family too, they thought they were superior to her. In fact, even when it seemed like Bai s.h.i.+xue had become closer to Ni Yinghong, it was only because she somewhat wanted to join hands with the Ni family’s young lady to go against their rival in love.

After all, Wu Hanning’s ident.i.ty as the princess was too much pressure for the proud Bai s.h.i.+xue to handle.

When the two smart ladies saw Ou Yangming and Ni Yinghong embracing each other, they sensed something unordinary.

Perhaps Ni Yinghong’s biggest advantage was not the time she and Ou Yangming had known each other for, but the irreplaceable connection between them.

Later on, Yu Hongli and Gan Xinrui approached Ou Yangming and saluted him. They expressed their grat.i.tude at the same time, “Young Master Ou, thank you.”

The city had begun to settle down after the first phase of reorganization. The recovery could not be completed in a day, but they knew the disaster in Feiya and Xuanchen was probably over.

Ou Yangming waved his hand and responded, “You don’t need to be so polite.”

Yu Hongli sighed. “Unfortunately, that fella escaped in the end. In any case, I’m sure it learned its lesson and won’t attack us again even if it recovers. Hehe… Besides, if a spirit beast is seriously injured in our world, it might not be able to survive even if we don’t kill it.” A look of hatred could be seen in his eyes.

“Is that so?” Ou Yangming was surprised.

“Indeed.” Wu Hanning interrupted their conversation. “Spirit beasts come from another world. Their existence here is a mistake because they require abundant energy to survive. Furthermore, once they’re injured, they’ll need to replenish more energy to recover, but our world might not be able to provide them with what they need.”

Ou Yangming nodded, but he thought to himself when he looked at Yu Hongli and the others, ‘I’m sorry, but I’ll have to let you down.’

Since he decided to subdue the goshawk, he held back when he attacked it.

It appeared as though the goshawk was burnt when it broke through and left with black smoke around it.

However, the goshawk merely suffered superficial wounds, by which its organs were not damaged at all. The lower realm lacked spiritual power, but Ou Yangming believed that it could recover in no time. Gan Xinrui hesitated for a while before he asked, “Master Ou, can you find that brute?”

Ou Yangming was slightly dumbfounded. “Why should I find it? Are you planning to uproot

it?”

“That’s the ideal case, but four other counties are still being threatened by spirit beasts, especially the Insects, which are the Beasts’ enemies. If you’re able to conquer the goshawk, the Humans will triumph in this disaster for sure.”

Yu Hongli was struck dumb. He was hesitant, but he finally sighed and kept quiet.

Gan Xinrui later explained in a deep voice, “Master Ou, please forgive Elder Yu. He only realized after the war that he lost one of his dearest grandsons.”

“Ah,” Ou Yangming uttered, then he cupped his hands at Yu Hongli. “Elder Yu, I’m sorry for your loss.”

“It was fated…” Yu Hongli shook his head and returned the salutation. He expressed after a short pause, “Governor Gan’s suggestion is worth considering. If you have the opportunity, suppress it for the Humans.”

Ou Yangming turned to look, whereas the other people looked at him eagerly.

He furrowed his eyebrows and stated, “Okay, I’ll try if I get the chance to…”
