155 Wastelands Wall. (1/2)
The expression of the chubby man twisted into one of amazement when he heard Li Yang's words and understood that he wasn't worried about forming any grievances with the Shadow Emperor Sect. But seeing Li Yang remain seated, his face couldn't help but blanch and distort into one of fear.

”No, you can't let them come here! If so many people gather in one spot we are sure to alert the Deathcloud Warriors, and it won't just be the normal scouts and stragglers, even the soldiers and general-level one's will take notice and come over!”
The chubby man was completely aghast at the thought, spitting saliva everywhere as he spoke. If it hadn't been for the faint glimmer in Li Yang's eyes, he would have rushed over and grabbed onto Li Yang's collar while shouting. This wasn't the first time that these people had mentioned these warriors so Fang Ying tilted her head slightly, none of them looking the least bit worried.
”You said something like that earlier, you thought we were Deathcloud Warriors and that's why you attacked. What exactly are Deathcloud Warriors, are they a type of Demonic beasts native to this universe?”
They had never heard about these Deathcloud Warriors before so they were unlikely to be Demonic beasts that could be found just about anywhere. They also seemed to be divided into different levels despite being beasts of the same race, something that was a tad bit uncommon amongst Demonic beasts, which would more often evolve and change name whenever they increased their strength to a new realm.
The chubby man seemed somewhat caught off guard and even shocked at their lack of knowledge, but remembering their earlier questions he realized just what sort of people he was dealing with. He quickly responded, his eyes flickering around as he fearfully checked their surroundings.
”They're not Demonic beasts, they are a byproduct of the Bloodwind Emperor, who is said to be able to give life to all things in the multiverse. A Deathcloud Warrior is pure death energy given life and consciousness, they occasionally pop up in places where the Bloodwind Emperor has battled. Only the strongest of them ever leave the place they were born, exploring the greater universe in search of their creator. Those that remain have much simpler minds, instinctively searching out signs of other lifeforms in their territory and killing them to increase their strength.”
The more Li Yang and the others heard about this Bloodwind Emperor, the more shocked they ended up getting. Not even when they were at their peak could Fang Ying use her law of creation to create a consciousness in an item, much less create a consciousness being from scratch. And according to the chubby man's earlier words, it was the Bloodwind Emperor that was responsible for the lifelessness of this entire area. This meant that he had probably cultivated both the law of life and the law of death to the very peak, a rather scary thought.
Li Yang and the two others locked eyes for a short moment, quietly communicating while Langshen remained at Fang Ying's side, completely uninterested in the things going on around him. A small smirk appeared on Zhao Feng's face after a few seconds, Fang Ying nodding her head at Li Yang and causing him to stand up with a sigh.
”Fine, fine, I'll go deal with it. Feng, just remove a few heads if they start getting uppity.”
If these Deathcloud Warriors really were a byproduct of the Bloodwind Emperor, and he really was as strong as the chubby man said, then they couldn't afford to underestimate them. There was no point in taking on a pointless risk so it would be better to deal with the incoming group before they got too close.
Li Yang walked forward and made his way through the group of people that were so scared of angering him that they moved aside to make a path for him, the tip of his sword dragging a small line on the ground as he walked. He quickly left the ruined building and continued heading north, which was the direction from which the group of people was coming from.
The chubby man and the others still remaining within the building snuck glances at Fang Ying and Zhao Feng, wondering if their chance to escape had come. But Zhao Feng simply smiled at them, his eight silver daggers starting to dance through the air around him, flickering around like the tongue of a snake and quickly dispelling the thoughts of the captured people.
Li Yang quickly made his way through the ruined city, following Fang Ying's directions by moving in a straight line. With his speed, it only took him a minute to cross the 15 kilometers that were between him and the other group. The two spotted each other as they were passing through a rather wide street that could comfortably fit 15 people standing shoulder to shoulder.
The spiraling buildings around them were mostly intact, the only sign that something had happened to the buildings being that the spiral material used to build them had withered somewhat and thus lost most of their color. Standing about 100 meters in front of Li Yang was a group of almost 30 people walking in a triangular formation, with the tip of the triangle making up the back of the group.
