saint of humanity

Outside the Elemental Realm, the opposing sides were in well-organized formations, with all their heroes present, and a great battle was about to break out.

But at this crucial moment, a figure suddenly appeared between the two sides, interrupting the tension.

Biluo stared expectantly at the figure before her, assuming it was Lu Ye, unaware that it was actually Liao disguised as Lu Ye.

However, she could clearly sense the Liao's fondness for its sacred object.

Because when Liao was playing with the small bow, his expression became incredibly rich, and in the end, he even seemed a little cautious.

"Senior?" Biluo called softly.

Liao suddenly came to his senses, his face turned solemn, and he looked into Biluo's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Miss, this treasure is destined for me."

After the fall of the Yuanling Clan's supreme expert, Biluo took charge of the entire realm. She was incredibly intelligent and quick-witted, and had already made her decision when Liao investigated Xiao Gong. Upon hearing this, she did not hesitate at all: "I beg you, senior, to help my clan resolve this calamity. After it is accomplished, Biluo is willing to offer up the clan's sacred artifact!"

Although sacred objects are rare, if they can help our clan overcome this calamity, what harm is there in offering them up?

Moreover, having met this powerful man twice, she knew his strength well. If he were to forcibly take her things, how could she resist? Rather than refusing and provoking him, she might as well go with the flow.

"Good!" A sharp light flashed in the fang's eyes, clearly what he had been waiting for.

He gently placed the small bow back into Biluo's hand, his movements and demeanor so tender as to suggest that he was not placing a weapon at all.

He then turned around, looked at the many cultivators who had come to attack the Yuanling Realm, and slowly said, "You all heard that. From today onwards, I will protect these guys behind me and this realm! You'd better leave now."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the many attacking cultivators became uncertain.

The main problem is that no one knows the origin of Liao. If he is a well-known figure in the starry sky, how come they have never heard of him?
However, it is said that it is completely unknown, and its strange appearance just now makes it somewhat unpredictable.

After a moment of silence and a silent exchange of thoughts among the leaders, the leader gritted his teeth and shouted, "Our army has arrived here, and you expect us to retreat with just a word? Isn't that a bit too arrogant?"

The thief sneered, raised his neck, and pointed his nose at the other person with an arrogant look: "Great skill comes with great arrogance. You disagree?"

The leader who spoke had never seen anything like it before. His original intention was to get Liao to show his abilities and see if he could protect the Yuanling Clan on his own. However, not only did Liao not show any abilities, he also started a verbal battle. How could he respond to that?

In a flash, the leader said in a deep voice, "Your abilities are not determined by mere words."

Liao finally realized: "So that's what it means."

As he said this, he looked up at Lu Ye and gestured with his hand.

Three hundred thousand miles away, a streak of light suddenly flew out and landed in the hand of the thief in an instant. It was a straight, jet-black longsword. The longsword looked ordinary, but there was a strange halo flowing on the blade.

Liao said no more, but simply waved his sword lightly forward.

Silent and still, without a ripple!
Not far in front of him, the many cultivators were completely bewildered, and the leaders at the head of the group were frowning deeply, having no idea what the demon was doing.

But three breaths later, a startled cry came from behind.

Then came a strange noise.

Then the attacking cultivators saw that the Yuanling people all had expressions of shock and excitement, staring at what was behind them, as if they had seen something unbelievable.

The leaders turned around abruptly, and their pupils contracted sharply at what they saw.

In their field of vision, the thousands of warships that stretched behind the army, regardless of size, all disintegrated and turned into fragments at this moment.

In an instant, all the cultivators were terrified.

With a single strike, such a massive fleet was annihilated from a distance. Keep in mind that many of those warships were among the most advanced in this star system, extremely expensive and incredibly sturdy. Even if cultivators of this level joined forces to attack, it would take them some time to break through their defenses.

But such warships are now as fragile as paper in front of them.

A chilling thought involuntarily crept into everyone's mind—what if that slash had been aimed at them, the cultivators, instead of the fleet?
A single strike can destroy thousands of warships; how many people would die from the same strike?

What kind of knife is this?

Who is this person?

What an astonishing level of cultivation and strength this must be!
Even the ten thousand years that the Yuanling Clan expert suppressed the starry sky could not match such power, and was far inferior.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Liao tilted his head, looking at the group of stunned cultivators in front of him.

For both him and Lu Ye, the conflicts and cultivators in the starry sky were no longer a significant matter, so Liao had no intention of killing anyone.

"We apologize for disturbing you, senior. We will take our leave now!" The leader who had spoken earlier turned pale and fled quickly after speaking. In his panic, his body was swaying slightly.

The cultivators who came to attack the Yuanling Realm scattered in a flash, fleeing for their lives.

In a short while, the catastrophic disaster that threatened the Yuanling Realm was resolved.

With a casual toss, Liao threw his true form back 300,000 miles away before turning to look at Biluo with a grin: "Miss, then according to the agreement, what you hold... is mine."

Biluo gazed at the fang before him with a complex expression, the small bow in his hand trembling slightly. He finally understood why such an unknown powerhouse would be so interested in the clan's sacred artifact.

Just as that jet-black longsword appeared, the clan's sacred artifact clearly conveyed a message to her.

That long sword... belongs to the same race as the sacred artifact!
They are... a warrior clan!
She had always thought that there was only one soldier race in this starry sky, but she never expected to see another one today. Moreover, compared to her own race's sacred artifact, the power of that soldier race's artifact was simply incomprehensible.

Composing herself, Biluo nodded: "Senior, rest assured, Biluo will not go back on her promise. However, there is one more thing I need your understanding on..."

The crisis of the Yuanling race was resolved. The great war that could have wiped out an entire race was easily averted thanks to Liao's intervention.

This didn't have much of an impact on Lu Ye.

An hour later, Liao returned with a miserable look on his face, accompanied by Biluo.

When Biluo arrived at this place, she was slightly taken aback when she saw Lu Ye. Then she suddenly realized that the senior she had met twice was not the same person. The one in front of her was probably the Lord of War, just like her relationship with the sacred object.

"Greetings, senior. Thank you for your help." Biluo stepped forward and bowed.

Lu Ye slowly said, "No need to thank me. It was Liao who made the move; it has nothing to do with me."

That being said, how could Biluo not know that without the approval of Lu Ye, the Lord of War, how could a military clan like Liao act on its own?

"Lu Ye, did you find out a long time ago?" Liao asked.

Upon seeing the small bow, Liao finally understood why Lu Ye had chosen to stay and rest here despite the noise.

He could have easily looked elsewhere.

This was clearly something Lu Ye had anticipated, which is why he waited here, creating an opportunity for himself to meet another member of his clan.

Liao was naturally delighted, because he had not encountered any other soldiers since Shang left, and who would have thought that he would meet another one in this starry sky.

Lu Ye remained noncommittal. Of course, he had already discovered it long ago; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken it to investigate when he saw the Yuanling Clan's sacred artifact last time.

Moreover, knowing that the Yuanling Clan would soon be in trouble, why would he choose to stay here without a reason?

The situation is now developing exactly as he predicted—when the Yuanling Clan suffered a great calamity, Liao stepped forward and won the favor of both the Yuanling Clan and Xiao Gong.

In this way, Liao and Xiao Gong should get along better in the future.

Although he hasn't done anything these days, he has actually been working hard for Liao.

“There’s a problem now.” Liao squatted down in front of him, his strong demeanor vanishing instantly. He scratched his head and said, “Lu Ye, you know that once we soldiers recognize a master, we’re inseparable from him. So if I want to take Xiao Li away, I have to take her master with me.”

Even Xiao Li has been called out...

“No problem.” Lu Ye readily nodded. A mere Azure Sky could be easily stored within his inner world.

“The problem isn’t there…” Liao stammered.

"What's the problem?" Lu Ye had a guess.

Liao began, "Biluo is the Holy Maiden of the Yuanling Clan, and also the strongest member of the entire clan. The Yuanling Clan is a special race; they possess something called Yuanling within them..."

Although Lu Ye already knew what Liao was saying, he didn't interrupt.

“So if Biluo leaves, the Yuanling Clan will have no protection. If those guys come back in the future, the entire clan will be divided up. Although I have seen much suffering among people, I cannot bear to see them suffer like that…”

Lu Ye interrupted his rambling: "Just tell me what your plans are and how you want me to cooperate."

Liao's spirits lifted immediately, and he chuckled, "Take the Yuanling Clan with you. Your inner world should be able to hold them."

Lu Ye knew things would turn out this way, and looked at Liao with a helpless expression.

The fang blinked its eyes, seemingly innocent.

Finally, Lu Ye sighed.

How did things turn out this way? His original intention was to find a companion for Liao, which wouldn't have been too much trouble. But if he wanted to take Xiao Li away, he would have to take Bi Luo with him, and if he took Bi Luo, he would have to take the Yuanling Clan with him.

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Ye said, "Have you told Biluo about our situation? It might not be safe for us to stay with me."

Bringing the Yuanling Clan into his inner world isn't impossible; the inner world's territory is vast enough to support one Yuanling Clan member. However, his current situation is precarious. If he becomes unable to defeat a True Saint, he will most likely perish, and the Yuanling Clan would simply be buried with him. (End of Chapter)
