Chapter 810: Chapter 809 Survival of the Fittest
Ouyang He, Qin Yanyang, Sect Master Zhang, Huang Chengcheng, Ji Bangying, Zuo Wenjun, Mo Li, and Chen Liangzhong all arrived one after another. Seeing Wang Chunyang injured, and the three Western strong adversaries already fled, everyone displayed expressions of shock.
Aside from Huang Chengcheng and Qin Yanyang, these powerful figures from the Hidden Sect found it somewhat unbelievable as they gazed at Wang Chunyang’s injuries.
They were well aware of Wang Chunyang’s strength. Precisely because of this, the reality that Wang Chunyang was severely injured by Western strong adversaries in such a short time was even harder for them to accept, leaving them incredulous.
Ouyang He frowned, looking at the wound on Wang Chunyang’s shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Those Western anomalies are indeed this formidable?"
"Yes, the battle just began and Brother Wang is already injured. These Western anomalies are indeed powerful."
"And Brother Helian just went to chase them but couldn’t catch up. These Western cultivators, in terms of combat strength and speed, are in no way inferior to us."
"Western cultivators truly cannot be underestimated. We must be more cautious and not careless in the future."
Everyone chimed in their words and nodded in agreement.
Regarding the Western cultivators from Heaven, these top figures from the Hidden Sect harbored a bit of awe deep in their hearts, no longer daring to underestimate them as before.
"Everyone, though the enemy has fled, the Hidden Sect Plane has been damaged. I wonder about the situation inside now. Let’s go back and take a look," said Helian Zhan.
Everyone came back to their senses, responding one after another, and rushed towards the teleportation passage.
Qin Yanyang did not join the bustle. She had just seen a scene of chaos in the camp, with numerous casualties, and it seemed her grandfather was also injured, so she had to check the military camp’s situation first.
Yang Fei hesitated slightly but didn’t follow back to the Hidden Sect. Instead, he stayed beside Qin Yanyang to examine Qin Huai’an and the other wounded in the military camp.
Huang Chengcheng glanced at the two juniors and followed the others from the Hidden Sect into the Hidden Sect World.
Returning to the Hidden Sect Plane, the group, through their perception of plane laws, could clearly feel that the plane laws of the Hidden Sect World had been damaged. The massive plane world’s formation was rapidly deteriorating, and it was uncertain how much longer it could hold.
Everyone’s expressions turned incredibly somber.
Ouyang He said, "We must immediately send messages via Iron Eagle, urging devotees from each family to evacuate the Hidden Sect quickly."
Sect Master Zhang nodded and said, "Exactly. The space laws of this plane world are becoming increasingly chaotic. Soon, it won’t be enough to sustain the operation of a plane world, and it will collapse."
"Immediately relay this to the world: both this and the Zhuge family’s teleportation passage can be used to leave. Choose whichever is closer for a quicker exit."
"Yes, speed up the evacuation. Also, maintain order at the teleportation passage. We should be fine sitting here, but over at the Zhuge family, a Divine Travel Realm expert must be present to maintain order."
"Exactly. A powerful figure must be stationed at the teleportation passage to maintain order. Also, do not forget the Zhuge, Duanmu, and Giant Sword Manor, as well as the forces that depend on them. Among these forces, several powerful figures fled during the battle, and they will also take this opportunity to leave the Hidden Sect World. If they only seek to escape without causing chaos, so be it. But I’m afraid these people will take advantage of the situation to cause trouble or destruction."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, displaying worried expressions.
Huang Chengcheng said, "After this internal strife within the Hidden Sect, we, as the victors, didn’t excessively repress the defeated side. Plus, with the instability of the plane world now, even if those escaped powerhouses harbor hatred and want revenge, they shouldn’t choose to act now, as their kin and disciples have yet to be safely evacuated, making it pointless for mutual destruction."
"Indeed, Brother Huang is right. Even ants seek to survive, let alone humans? For cultivators, they cherish life even more than ordinary people. As long as they aren’t pushed to the brink, they won’t resort to desperate measures."
"Then send messages to others. Just maintain order at the teleportation passage; there’s no need for strict scrutiny of identities. Otherwise, if you trigger panic and fear among those people, it will cause chaos, which is not conducive to a safe evacuation."
With everyone contributing their thoughts, they quickly finalized the evacuation plan.
At this moment, countless well-trained Iron Eagles were brought forth. Families transmitted letters swiftly, conveying the decision to leave the Hidden Sect Plane quickly to their own sects and aristocratic families, urging them to be prompt, as the sooner the evacuation, the safer it would be.
...
In Death Valley, the main general’s tent in the military camp.
Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang stood facing Qin Huai’an. Although Qin Huai’an appeared somewhat haggard and slightly injured, for someone of his realm’s cultivation, it didn’t have much impact.
Moreover, though the products produced last time at Yunwu Mountain’s Base were distributed, a portion was kept aside, reserved for high-level members for use in critical times.
After Qin Huai’an consumed a small bottle of genetic fluid, he quickly recovered his state, appearing even more spirited than usual.
"Yang Fei, the genetic liquid medicine you synthesized is truly a remarkable thing. Had it been developed ten or twenty years earlier, our Divine Continent could have cultivated an invincible lion army," Qin Huai’an remarked, marveling at the genetic liquid’s miraculous effects on martial artists.
Yang Fei chuckled at the words, "Ten or twenty years ago, I was just a naked kid playing in the mud in the rural countryside."
Qin Huai’an laughed heartily, "Indeed, I was thinking too fancifully."
Yang Fei said, "Actually, the Hidden Sect’s Zhuge family and Poison Sect can also refine elixirs, and even their high-quality elixirs are more potent than the genetic liquid. Unfortunately, their elixir production is limited and has a low rate of success. Furthermore, they cannot fully cooperate with the Divine Continent, leading to the Yanhuang Nation’s development in this aspect."
At these words, a flash of indignation crossed Qin Huai’an’s eyes as he sighed, "It’s a helpless situation.
Since ancient times, Hidden Sect cultivators have always held themselves aloft. Although they protect the Divine Continent from extinction, deep down they feel superior and do not consider ordinary people of the Divine Continent to be of the same rank.
Of course, this doesn’t apply to just the Hidden Sect. Heaven regards Western commoners, and the Penglai Realm sees the Japanese populace in the same light.
This is human nature. It’s some sort of game rule devised by the elite among highly intelligent humans to ensure their own and their descendants can stand on higher ground.
After all, who wouldn’t want more resources, more power, and who doesn’t wish for their kin and descendants to continue inheriting such rights and glory?
It’s not just the people of the cultivation realm, even the secular world is the same.
Take the Divine Continent as an example, take us as an example. Don’t we have selfish desires too, don’t we also want to live better, and for our descendants to hold power?"
Yang Fei remained silent.
Qin Yanyang’s mouth twitched. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something but ultimately didn’t.
Qin Huai’an sighed, "This is human nature. As long as humanity exists, there cannot be absolute fairness and justice.
And it’s not just in humanity, the animal kingdom is the same. Every species has its hierarchy, for the essence of this world is survival of the fittest."
Yang Fei nodded silently. Seeing Qin Yanyang’s grave expression, seemingly a bit unhappy, he knew his wife’s temperament. He quickly coughed and changed the topic, "Grandpa, we’ve veered far off topic, haven’t we? While we too strive for a better life and more power, we can at least do so with a clear conscience, providing majority of the ordinary people with more fairness and justice. Our goal is to make this world a bit better, and that’s enough."
Qin Huai’an, upon hearing this, glanced at Qin Yanyang, nodded, and smiled, "Indeed, you hit the nail on the head, kid."
He then shifted his tone, solemnly asking Qin Yanyang, "Girl, how did you fare talking with those Hidden Sect powerhouses? From today’s situation, you can see that the strong from Heaven have emerged. We cannot afford further internal strife between us and the Hidden Sect; else the Great Divine Continent will be ravaged, and we will become the sinful culprits of the Yanhuang Nation."
