#2302 - Emily's Choice
Qin Bu Yi was stopped by Emily.
He looked at her with some doubt and said, "Is there anything else?"
Emily pondered for a moment and said, "During the beast tide, stick close to me, and I will protect your safety."
As soon as these words came out, coupled with the previous surging undercurrent, Qin Bu Yi immediately understood and said, "It seems that the others in the group don't welcome me."
Emily comforted him, "Don't think too much, every newcomer goes through this process."
Qin Bu Yi didn't believe a word of such words.
How could every newcomer go through this process?
It was simply directed at him!
Qin Bu Yi said, "I won't be in danger."
After saying this, he turned and left.
In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.
During these ten days, Qin Bu Yi had thoroughly inquired about the cultivation level of the strongest person in Heavenly Wind City.
It was the Great Perfection of the First-Rank Immortal Emperor!
And there were two of them!
The Chaos God Clan who came to deliver the message earlier had not left.
Within the Demon Slaughter Army, for these ten days, most of their attention was focused on Qin Bu Yi's movements.
"Tsk tsk, I must say, that new Fifth-Rank Immortal Venerable Great Perfection is quite able to hold his breath. I didn't expect that he hasn't shown himself for so long, and has been holed up in his room."
"Hmph, dare he come out? Lord Gero has already announced that as long as he sees this Fifth-Rank Immortal Venerable Great Perfection, he can kill him at all costs and receive a high reward."
"I must say, even I was tempted by the reward that Lord Gero gave, it's comparable to the entire wealth of an Eighth-Rank Immortal Venerable."
"To offer such a generous reward just to kill a Fifth-Rank Immortal Venerable Great Perfection, this newcomer is worth it even after he falls!"
...
The main reason why Qin Bu Yi didn't appear in the public eye was that he was gathering information.
Secondly, as a strong person, he disdained to argue with these rabble before the beast tide arrived.
After the beast tide begins, many of the old members of the Demon Slaughter Army may fall.
In other words, Qin Bu Yi disdained to argue with dead people.
That afternoon.
Suddenly, the earth began to shake.
Then, the sound of running came from a distance, as well as many sounds of flying through the air.
Looking as far as the eye could see, countless fierce beasts mixed with various cultivation levels rushed towards Heavenly Wind City.
The Demon Slaughter Army's stronghold, like other Primordial Living Beings of the Heavens, was outside Heavenly Wind City.
It wasn't that they didn't want to enter Heavenly Wind City, but the cost and price of entering were too high.
Except for those guys who served as slaves for the Chaos God Clan, other Primordial Living Beings of the Heavens wanted to stay in Heavenly Wind City for even a day.
They would have to pay a huge amount of points or cultivation resources.
In this place, which was inherently unfair, earning points was very difficult!
Obtaining many cultivation resources was even more difficult!
With these things, it was better to keep them for their own use.
The entire Demon Slaughter Army was filled with various noisy voices as the beast tide began.
"Damn, why does this beast look so much stronger than before? I was planning to make a fortune in points, but now it seems like I'm earning nothing."
"There are hundreds of times more Immortal Venerable level beasts than before, it's already very lucky to be able to survive."
"It's over, the strongest person in my group is the Great Perfection of the Eighth-Rank Immortal Venerable, he definitely can't withstand it, is there anyone willing to take in our group."
"At this time, everyone is taking care of themselves, it's not realistic to expect others to take in your group, you should just pray for your own good fortune."
...
Qin Bu Yi looked at the fierce beasts in the distance.
The so-called fierce beasts, demon beasts, spirit beasts, and demon race are essentially all the same.
It's just a different way of calling them!
Emily's group members gathered together, with a clear division of labor, and patrolled and fought around one side of Heavenly Wind City.
The Primordial Living Beings of the Heavens outside Heavenly Wind City quickly fought with many fierce beasts.
Both sides suffered considerable casualties, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as blood flowing like rivers!
Outside Heavenly Wind City was a scene of Shura hell.
Countless living beings fell every minute and every second.
Inside Heavenly Wind City, it was a completely opposite scene.
Many Chaos God Clan were drinking tea, discussing the battle outside the city with a leisurely and carefree attitude.
They couldn't see the slightest sense of crisis on their bodies.
"The beast tide comes every few years. I remember that the classics record that the first time, our Chaos God Clan suffered a large number of casualties and even suffered a great loss of vitality."
"Later, I don't know which expert introduced these outsiders. They have a super reproductive ability and their cultivation speed is not too slow, which greatly alleviates the pressure on our God Clan."
"Developing to the present, we basically don't need our Chaos God Clan to take action. Relying on these outsiders, we can basically quell seventy to eighty percent of the beast tide."
"Those natives outside the city have reproduced too much over the years. It's just right to let them reduce each other through the beast tide, and we can clean up the battlefield after the war to obtain benefits!"
...
Two days passed.
After these two days of fighting, the number of casualties on both sides reached an alarming one-fifth!
Don't underestimate this one-fifth, it's a value based on a huge number.
Under this kind of casualty, both sides tacitly stopped fighting and healed their injuries.
The atmosphere in Emily's group was full of gunpowder.
It seemed that only a small spark was needed to completely ignite this powder keg.
The reason why the gunpowder was so strong was Qin Bu Yi.
For the past two days, Qin Bu Yi had been in a state of soy sauce, protected by Emily throughout the entire process.
This situation caused dissatisfaction among other group members.
As the leader, Emily did not sacrifice the small for the big.
Relying on her high cultivation and combat power, she took care of both.
Even so, the emotion of dissatisfaction increased day by day.
Finally, someone couldn't help but speak first:
"Leader, I just want to ask you one thing, how long are you going to protect this trash? He hasn't contributed at all in the past two days."
"Hmph, our group doesn't support idlers. Such a burden has appeared out of thin air. Leader, you have to give us an explanation. Could it be that he's really your lover?"
"Maybe, look at this pretty boy's appearance as if it's a matter of course, it seems that it's normal for everyone to protect him."
"The beast tide has only just begun. If the leader can't give us a convincing reason, maybe our group will disband like this!"
...
These words were tantamount to pushing Emily into a dead end.
They used their attitude to force her to make a choice between the two.
Either form a two-person team with Qin Bu Yi, this 'trash' who hasn't made a single move.
Or give up Qin Bu Yi and return to the collective.
A look of hesitation appeared on Emily's face, and then she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll take him away, you guys do as you please!"
Qin Bu Yi slowly opened his eyes.
He had been closing his eyes to rest just now.
The various things that happened in these two days may be a big scene for others.
For Qin Bu Yi... it was too childish.
He didn't even have the interest to take action.
He had been paying attention to the arguments that had taken place in the group just now.
Qin Bu Yi was quite surprised by Emily's decision.
He originally thought that he might be kicked out of this group.
Unexpectedly... it was so dramatic.
The corners of his mouth slightly raised. Emily's willingness to follow him inadvertently solved some of his problems.
Among the entire Demon Slaughter Army, he had observed and observed these days.
In the end, he found that only Emily and the Demon Slaughter Army leader, whom he had never contacted, had the potential to be his subordinates.
He didn't say that he got along with the former day and night, but at least he had a rough understanding and judgment of her through some things.
The latter... he had never contacted at all.
Now that it was determined to let Emily be his chess piece in the God Clan Continent.
Qin Bu Yi no longer gave much consideration to the Demon Slaughter Army leader.
The group members showed angry expressions on their faces when they saw Qin Bu Yi leaving behind Emily's butt.
"Hmph, we've been calling her the leader for so many years, but she actually abandoned everyone for a pretty boy, it's really outrageous!"
"Now it can basically be confirmed that there is an abnormal relationship between this pretty boy and Emily. Why don't we tell Gero about this?"
"We definitely have to tell Lord Gero. He has been hating the suddenly appearing pretty boy these days. If he knows this news..."
"Emily will definitely regret it. Our group is not a weak group that cannot survive in the beast tide without her!"
.......
Qin Bu Yi looked at Emily and said, "Don't you regret leaving your group?"
Emily asked back, "I'm happy that I can stay away from these profit-seeking guys. Why should I regret it?"
After a pause, she continued, "I've long been unable to stand their style. We've always had deviations in our philosophy over the years."
"Don't think too much about it. It's not because of you, but because of the accumulated contradictions over the years."
Qin Bu Yi said, "It's good to be able to maintain such a state of mind in this environment."
Emily looked at Qin Bu Yi with strange eyes and said, "My cultivation is so much higher than yours. Can you not speak in such an old-fashioned way?"
Soon the news that the two had left the group reached Gero's ears.
Gero was stunned immediately, and then his face twisted and said, "I want that pretty boy to die!"
As a standard licking dog, he was not crazy enough to hurt his goddess.
Or rather, every licking dog would not think that there was a problem with his goddess.
They would only look for reasons within themselves or outside.
Don't ask why, if you have to explain it, you can only say that it is the self-cultivation of a licking dog!
After Gero was furious, he gradually calmed down and looked at his group members and said:
"Before the next wave of fierce beast attacks, you must find the whereabouts of that pretty boy for me."
"I want to kill this guy myself!"
His group members said one after another:
"Lord Gero, don't worry, I've long been displeased with that pretty boy. How dare he cut off my love? We will dig three feet into the ground to find him."
"Hmph, after finding him, there's no need for Lord Gero to take action. I can peel his skin, pull out his tendons, and torture him to death, making this pretty boy regret seducing Lord Emily."
"What stupid things are you talking about? Lord Gero has to personally deal with that pretty boy. Where do you need to come?"
"That's right, what kind of onion are we? It's only relieving to have Lord Gero personally take action on this kind of thing."
