Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 806 Relocation (Part 3)

“That’s right… it’s the Northern Lands.” Han Yi nodded slightly, glancing around at everyone. “If you have any questions, then speak up quickly, let’s get to the point.”

Judging from the current situation, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect faces two dangers.

The first, most direct, and most urgent pressure, which could happen very soon, comes from the pressure from the three main peaks of the Yuanmiao Sect.

The second one is hidden behind the pressure from Yuanmiao Sect, and its danger is no less, and perhaps even greater.

That was a demonic calamity.

A celestial fire meteor descends upon the world, and a demonic calamity may erupt at any moment.

This is the root cause of Yuanmiao Sect's coercion of other forces, leading to the situation spiraling out of control. Although so much time has passed, nothing has happened, and everything remains as calm as ever.

However, once the demonic calamity breaks out, with millions upon millions of terrifying disasters, even Han Yi could run into trouble if he were held back.

Just like what happened in Pingzhou.

The city was breached, and countless lives were lost, with no way to save them.

After all, Han Yi wasn't alone; he had a group of people behind him who needed protection.

Zhong Han walked over and began to examine the map carefully.

Yunzhou, which is their location, is bordered by two vast, adjacent regions: Qingzhou to the left and Taizhou to the right.

At the very top of the map is a large area marked in white.

The Everfrost Plains are considered by the world to be an absolute death zone.

This place, located at the forefront of the North, is a vast plain that is perpetually cold and frozen, with snow and ice that never melts. The climate is extremely harsh, with blizzards and freezing winds raging year-round, effectively blocking all those who wish to travel to the North.

The white area is surrounded by a vast expanse of azure ocean currents.

This is the Arctic Ocean, a region rich in resources but also fraught with danger.

The ice fields, the Arctic Ocean, and a mysterious region in between that is rarely documented—that is all there is to the North.

Its total area is several times the size of the Xuanwu District.

Between Daxuan and Beidi lies a desolate, green area.

"Putting aside everything else, just take this desolate northern grassland as an example. For thousands of years, countless people have tried to explore it completely, but... no one has ever succeeded!"

Zhong Han placed her finger on the green area of ​​the map, somewhat hesitant.

"How to get through here safely... that's a big problem!"

"Not only that. Such a long distance, the logistical support along the way..." Zhong Yunxiu sighed, "Who goes and who stays, taking too many people won't work, taking too few people won't work either..."

“The journey is long and we will be crossing many dangerous areas. There will be no official road defenses, and we will have to rely on ourselves to maintain safety…” Zhang Ruoning couldn’t help but say.

"Even if we manage to reach the Northern Lands smoothly, and even if there are many human beings active among the various demon clans and there is no hostility... we are unfamiliar with the land and people. Arriving in a strange environment without any foundation is worse than..."

At this point, everyone spoke up, offering their opinions and explaining the advantages and disadvantages.

The journey is long, fraught with danger, morale is low, and the foundation is weak...

Everyone expressed their opinions and ideas.

The underlying meaning... is actually opposition.

Of course, it's understandable that they had objections. The original plan was simply to disband the sect and disperse to various parts of Yunzhou.

As long as they weather the storm, they will eventually have their day.

But now...

Leaving their hometown and becoming displaced.

Traveling to a distant place, some unknown distance away.

Just thinking about the loneliness of being far from home and missing your family is suffocating.

Not to mention the arduous journey, the various unexpected troubles and dangers along the way...

It's normal to offer words of advice and dissuasion.

"Wait!" Just then, Han Yi suddenly spoke up, surprised, "Is your understanding of relocation... the same as the relocation I'm talking about? Not just a simple transfer, but the whole, everything, a large-scale migration that includes everyone who wants to come along." "What?!"

As soon as Han Yi finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

The limitations imposed by fixed mindsets.

This led them to subconsciously believe that the relocation Han Yi mentioned was limited to the transfer of elites and people with a certain level of combat capability.

No one is born from a rock.

Regardless of one's own strength or weakness, there will always be some unarmed relatives and friends within one's family and community.

Leaving Yunzhou, the journey was fraught with danger and uncertainty.

They can follow Han Yi, but these people can't.

This led to the imagined sorrow.

"Everyone?" Zhong Han asked repeatedly, "Regardless of gender, age, or ability to protect themselves, as long as they are willing, they should all leave together?"

"Otherwise what?" Han Yi asked curiously. "If we leave, and the Yuanmiao Sect can't find us, and their retaliation implicates them... then what's the point of our relocation?"

Based on my experience of having several interactions with members of the Yuanmiao Sect.

This possibility is not nonexistent; in fact, it's highly probable.

Since they knew there was a risk of involving their relatives and friends, they naturally had to take them with them.

To avoid future regrets and lifelong remorse.

"If everyone brings along... then the scale... will be quite large. Not only will it attract attention, but it will also... especially the many dangerous areas along the way. Even for us elite experts, navigating through them... there's a considerable risk of death... this..."

“It’s alright, I’ll clear the way.” Before she could finish speaking, Han Yi interrupted her, “Anyone who is willing to leave, family and friends, everyone who wants to leave, can move along with us.”

"..." Zhong Han paused for a moment, still somewhat doubtful, "Isn't there any other way out... like the repeating musket you invented before... If it were used on a large scale and expanded to other areas, would it be possible to survive this calamity?"

Her outstanding performance with the musket last time left a deep impression on her.

To overcome the strong with the weak.

Three or five ordinary people working together, armed with muskets, could kill a martial arts master who had practiced diligently for over a decade.

If we improve it and increase its power, is it possible that...?

Upon hearing this, Han Yi couldn't help but chuckle.

"It's useless, there's no way it's possible. That thing... might be surprisingly effective in ordinary people or low-level combat, but in the hands of a true master... it's not as useful as a wooden stick."

The repeating musket was a little contraption he made on a whim.

Despite achieving considerable success, he wasn't as optimistic about the item's future as Zhong Han.

After all, this is the true high-end combat power of this world.

It could be martial arts, bloodline, or the myriad lineages of the demon race.

And putting nothing else.

Take Yuanmiaozong as an example.

It's both the Pool of Creation and a small world.

Han Yi didn't trust the Yuanmiao Sect, which controlled so many resources, and hadn't discovered any other ways to increase their power.

Especially in that small external world, there will always be a force that distinguishes these three paths.

But in the end, they still chose true martial arts skills as the foundation of their existence.

That already speaks volumes.

Either these three paths have the greatest potential for achievement and lead directly to the ultimate goal.

Or perhaps this world rejects other paths.

Or both possibilities exist.

oooo~~~

The moon was high in the sky, and a cold wind was blowing.

At that moment, the faint, low howls of wolves could be heard from the mountains outside the house.

Han Yi looked around, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

Although the faces of the crowd still showed doubt, resistance, and reluctance, the thoughtful look in their eyes indicated that their hearts were beginning to waver.

"Let's skip the unnecessary pleasantries. The North is the best location to resolve the current problems, as it involves a complete relocation." Han Yi said calmly. "Don't worry."

Route selection, security, logistical support… I've taken care of everything. All you need to do is gather your disciples, ask for their opinions, and confirm the number of participants.”

Before her death, Chun Rongrong entrusted him with the heirloom of the Wanxiang lineage.

By following the established path, one can avoid most of the dangers along the way and travel smoothly.

Furthermore, with this lineage, he was not without a foundation in the North, and no one could question his status as the lineage leader.

Once they reach the North, they will find a place for the Myriad Beasts Sect and its members to stay.

Moreover, the northern lands are surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the only icefield passage on land is firmly controlled by the Hundred Veins forces.

Such terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, extremely rugged, making it the best natural defense.

The existence of the Demon Saint Palace allows the many Demon Saints, who serve as guardians of the Northern Lands, to amplify the advantages of the terrain.

This made the Baimai residential area, located in the central core region, impregnable and mysteriously secure. For thousands of years, no force has ever been able to break through this defense and reach its heartland.

This also means that even if a demonic calamity descends, a great catastrophe is about to occur.

The vast and resource-rich northern region, with its extremely low population density and difficulty in attacking key areas, is definitely safer than other regions.

"Make your decision. Raise your hand if you want to leave, and if you don't... then stay." Han Yi continued, "Remember, it must be from the bottom of your heart. I can guarantee your safety, but if anyone tries to back out halfway..."

His gaze was icy, like unyielding ice that had never melted, sending chills down one's spine.

"If you follow along and have any other ulterior motives... don't blame me for being ruthless..."

As soon as the words were spoken, a cold wind seemed to rise from everyone's hearts, making them feel chilled to the bone and shiver as if they were cicadas.

The feat of killing Yan Xuanji and his two companions in one fell swoop has left an unparalleled and powerful impression on Han Yi in the minds of everyone in the Myriad Beasts Sect.

Especially his first demonstration, the changes in his body and muscles after the liberation of his physical body.

Although Han Yi explained that this was due to the amplification and changes in the body caused by gathering the Seven Transformations of Heavenly Evolution.

However, this was exaggerated by Fu Lao, the Grand Secretary, and a group of eyewitnesses.

Many people no longer regard Han Yi as a human being.

Instead, they treat them like demons and monsters from mythology.
