C206 Lord of Barren City
C206 Lord of Barren City
"It's a beast tide!" Many of them had seen how terrifying the beast tide was. When they saw the endless amount of Demonic Beast s rushing towards them, those people who were already deathly pale were even more frightened, the tides of the Demonic Beast s were menacing, as if they wanted to swallow everyone here.
Ji Lei slowly closed his eyes. His hands tightly held Xiao Lingxue's delicate hands. Xiao Lingxue and Ji Lei tightly embraced each other, as if they had given up all resistance and were waiting for death to descend upon them.
However, the beast tide did not engulf them, but stopped behind Ji Lei instead. Every Demonic Beast was not as violent as before and stood there docilely, like trained soldiers.
Under the gazes of many people, a figure slowly walked out from the crowd and stood at the opposite side of the Tang Family. His extremely strong imposing manner, was actually not the slightest bit weaker than that Wu Sect expert!
It was another person with Wu Sect!
"It's you?" Ji Lei widened his eyes slightly. Stonerina Python's slovenly and aged face unexpectedly appeared in front of Ji Lei at this moment.
Stonerina Python slightly nodded, and then stared straight at the Tang Family expert.
"It's been a long time since a Wu Sect expert has come to my Barren City's boundary. Coming here today, my humble abode really gathers light." Stonerina Python said nonchalantly. However, Ji Lei could hear a hint of coldness in his tone.
"Who are you?" His Tang Family attitude became a little more gentle, and he was no longer as harsh towards Ji Lei. He was also facing Wu Sect experts who were on par with him, so basic respect was required.
"You came to my place, yet you still ask who the owner of this place is?" When Stonerina Python heard this, he couldn't help but let out a light snort. When the Tang Family heard this, his expression couldn't help but freeze, and he cupped his hands towards Stonerina Python. His tone became a lot more courteous as well: "I am the Patriarch of Tang Family, Tang Jun.
Just like him, he was also in the early stages of the Wu Sect. If they really were to fight, Tang Jun might not be his match, since Stonerina Python is a Demonic Beast, and if they are on the same level, the fighting strength that the Demonic Beast can unleash is usually a level higher than normal warriors. Therefore, if they were to fight head on, the one losing out is Tang Jun.
"To think that Tang Family Master would be so unwilling to disturb me, my master, from such a long distance away, when you came to my Barren City, you were truly too courteous. However, Little Brother Ji Lei is my benefactor, you cannot touch him. " Stonerina Python sneered. Although he was a Demonic Beast, he still acted the part of a loser. Hearing what was said, Liu Tie's face twitched, but he did not know how to respond and could only clasp his hands in front of him.
Although Tang Jun was somewhat surprised, Ji Lei actually owed a favor to a Wu Sect? His eyes flashed with anger, but he managed to suppress it in the end. He picked up Tang Zhenyun, who had been beaten black and blue by Ji Lei, and said to Stonerina Python in a hoarse voice, "City Lord, Tang Xiu suddenly came to visit today, but he wants to bring my son back. He has never been hostile, if he has offended you, please forgive him."
If it wasn't for Ji Lei's weak body, he would have stood up and slapped Tang Jun twice when he heard what Tang Jun said. If Tang Jun didn't have a murderous intent, no one would believe him.
Stonerina Python also understood that Ji Lei did not want the people from Tang Family to leave so easily, but even if it was him, it would not be good to fight with Tang Jun directly. He had just stepped into the Wu Sect and not long after he came out, he immediately sensed the commotion and hurriedly rushed over.
Stonerina Python didn't say anything and just waved his hand as a form of sending off his guest. Tang Jun thanked Stonerina Python with a pale face. It must be because he was still holding back his anger and didn't feel good about it.
Tang Jun led a group of Frost State people that were like homeless dogs as they entered the black door. After that, the black cracks gradually closed and the only people left in the entire Barren City were Ji Lei and the rest.
Looking at Ji Lei's dazed appearance, Stonerina Python pursed his lips. He seemed to have a bad taste in his heart. Ji Lei sat on the ground in a daze and sighed.
Stonerina Python frowned and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes. He looked at the place where Ji Hsing had burnt the ashes and suddenly raised his hand. With a wave of his hand, a dark green light suddenly lit up within the ashes and a ray of light flew into Stonerina Python's palm.
"I suppose this is yours?" Stonerina Python opened his palms and Ji Lei opened his eyes with tears in his eyes. He saw a dark green Awakening Jade quietly lying on Stonerina Python's hands.
Ji Lei stretched out his trembling hand and his finger, touching the Awakening Jade that was still hot. The emotion in his eyes was painful like a knife twisting, as if he was in a nightmare. When Ji Leizhen saw the Awakening Jade, he woke up from the dream, and what was terrifying was that everything in the dream was real.
"Take it." Ji Lei weighed the Awakening Jade in his hand and held it tightly. His laughter from the past was like passing clouds, yet also like a bubble dream. With a touch, it disappeared.
Ji Lei's tears rolled in his eyes. He held the Awakening Jade tightly and started to sob again.
"I once heard that there are levels for Awakening Jade." Ji Lei raised his hazy eyes and looked at Stonerina Python like a helpless child. Stonerina Python's face, along with the slovenly edges of his hair, now looked a bit stable as he patted Ji Lei's shoulder and said: "I'm not too sure about the specifics, I have never left the Barren City, but you can look around, maybe you are lucky, and you will find some way to revive your friend."
"Resurrection?" Ji Lei's eyes suddenly flashed with a glimmer of hope. He stared at Stonerina Python in a daze and asked again as if he couldn't believe it, "You said, to revive?"
"I'm not too sure either, but people have to rely on something in order to survive, don't they?" Stonerina Python smiled lightly, and then patted Ji Lei's shoulder, as if this was a comfort. Hearing this, Ji Lei held the Awakening Jade tightly in his hand, and gradually made up his mind.
Stonerina Python looked at Ji Lei and Xiao Lingxue, then looked at Liu Qingshuang and said regretfully, "I thought I did a great thing, I didn't expect that I was being sentimental."
However, Liu Qingshuang's delicate body stiffened and her expression turned unnatural. Luckily, Stonerina Python didn't continue speaking, he only smiled at Ji Lei: "There's still some time before the Barren City opens, so you can stay here and recuperate. However, my tolerance towards you humans has already reached its limit, and I have had enough of this Hundred Clan Gathering. From now on, the Barren City will not open again."
