Online: I Can See Health Bars-Chapter 1183 - 520: Hand It Over_2

"Lord Hou!"

Fang Yu approached to join, but suddenly found that nearly everyone had surrounded him.

Both strangers and acquaintances flocked over, enclosing him tightly.

If these guys weren’t all weaklings, and didn’t show any malicious intent, Fang Yu would be ready to defend against a sneak attack.

"Diao, Mr. Diao! I am Hai Pengyi! Do you still remember me, Mr. Diao?"

"Go away! Mr. Diao, Mr. Diao, look at me, I, I, I, I have so much to tell you!"

"Mr. Diao! Are you really Mr. Diao? How can you come back to life after dying? Before, clearly the Qingling Taoist..."

"Mr. Diao, did you kill all those demons on the ground? That’s amazing! Can I take you as my master? I have a high comprehension!"

Everyone was talking over each other, making the scene as chaotic as a fan meeting.

For a moment, Fang Yu was utterly confused.

What’s the deal, are we this familiar? And who are you guys anyway? Besides those juniors from the Hai Family, I can’t recognize a single one.

These juniors were naturally familiar, but Hou Xingchao and the others were much more composed.

"What are you all doing! Go stand guard around the area!"

As soon as Hou Xingchao spoke, those excited and rowdy juniors immediately acted like mice seeing a cat, quickly following instructions, not daring to act out.

All the surviving juniors have struggled between life and death, fighting demons desperately.

The pride they once had was worn down by the previous Demon Army.

Having experienced that, they deeply understand how worthy of respect and greatness the elders like Hou Xingchao are.

After all, without the elders’ protection, how could they have survived until now?

After this battle, the juniors present have more or less grown a lot.

Hou Xingchao and Zhou Changqing, the older generations of martial artists, saw all this and felt gratified.

They’ve aged, and the future inevitably belongs to these young people.

As long as the people here remember today’s experience and continue to grow, they’ll eventually become the cornerstone of Sunset City.

However, right now, these juniors still need the protection of them, the old guards, and powerful martial artists like Diao Keqing.

"Mr. Diao, I’m sorry for the embarrassment."

At first meeting, Hou Xingchao thought Diao Deyi was young with a promising future.

But now, he’s a bit unsure about Diao Deyi’s age.

Martial Arts are mysterious, with cultivation techniques for longevity or maintaining youthful appearance, so it’s really hard to judge someone’s age just by appearances.

However, the traces of aging and the passage of time can still be easily sensed.

And on Diao Deyi, Hou Xingchao didn’t feel such an aura.

So, Diao Deyi should be young, or at least younger than he thought, but his extraordinary strength makes you not dare to think too deeply.

"Mr. Diao, thank you for your effort. Without your surprise attack from behind, helping us out, our entire team might have perished at the hands of the Demon Army."

Hou Xingchao sighed, then paused and introduced the person beside him.

"This is the Great Elder of the Zhou Family, Zhou Changqing."

Except for Daoist Qingling, no one anticipated that going out to exterminate demons would lead to such events, so most of the families sent their main forces.

After all, they were going out into the field to kill demons. Without some experts leading, it could easily lead to accidents.

This miscalculation could have resulted in the top echelons of Sunset City being mostly wiped out, causing the city’s overall strength to greatly diminish.

Fortunately, things took a turn for the better, and everything landed peacefully.

"Diao Deyi."

"Zhou Changqing."

Fang Yu and Zhou Changqing exchanged names and then followed Hou Xingchao and Zhou Changqing to the front, leading the group.

The three of them seemed like the three leaders of this team, leading them forward.

Most of the demons have collapsed and fled, so there was no danger as the three of them took the lead forward.

Curiously, neither Zhou Changqing nor Hou Xingchao asked about Fang Yu’s resurrection, nor did they ask why he suddenly exploded with divine power, soaring from an elite martial artist’s ability to a level that could contend with the Demon Army. They merely exchanged basic information.

Fang Yu mixes truth with falsehood, but the demon leader and demon body, this Great Demon’s death, is certainly true.

As to how it died, Zhou Changqing and Hou Xingchao didn’t delve into the details, just knowing the outcome was sufficient for them, each understanding tacitly not to probe into any details.

Fang Yu was glad he didn’t have to come up with explanations, though this battle somewhat exposed his power, and in the future, he indeed had to keep a lower profile.

But he also gained a lot from this battle, so it was acceptable.

"Since the demons are in retreat, we should quickly return to Sunset City overnight. Daoist Qingling schemed to exterminate us, surely with some ulterior motives. He left first, most likely to return to Sunset City and set some sort of setup or fallback plan. To be frank, I’m a bit worried about what might happen in Sunset City."

Hou Xingchao said with concern.

Initially, being surrounded by the Demon Army, they couldn’t even save their own lives, so naturally, they couldn’t care about Qingling Taoist’s schemes and plots.

Now that they’ve survived, naturally, their minds began to turn.

Zhou Changqing pondered for a moment and then said in a low voice.

"I feel it shouldn’t be that fast. According to the Qingling Taoist’s plan, even if we perished out here, the news should lag a few days before it reaches the people in Sunset City. So even if he wants to do something, it should be a few days later. Our breaking through and returning to Sunset City ahead of time will surely catch him off guard! Disrupt his entire plan and deployment!"
