Yan City.
All the surrounding residents were evacuated, and the streets were deserted and eerily silent.
A dark figure, like a ghost, slowly emerged from the shadows, carrying a person in his hand.
The man, enduring the dizziness brought on by the supernatural power, knelt respectfully on one knee and said:
"Shan Feichen, leader of the Eternal Flame Alliance investigation team, pays respects to Shadow Master."
"No need for formalities, let's begin." The Shadow Master's voice was calm as he handed over the armor-piercing arrow.
"Yes." Flash Dust hurriedly stepped forward and took the arrow.
As the captain of the Eternal Flame Alliance investigation team, Flash Dust was naturally very aware of the Shadow Master's power.
The number one person after the leader of the Eternal Flame Alliance.
Not only is his strength second only to the Alliance Leader, but his power is also immense.
According to his investigation, almost all the high-ranking members of the Eternal Flame Alliance who mysteriously disappeared had some connection with the Shadow Master.
The shadow master's gaze was like a knife, staring directly at the flying dust:
“This arrow is related to the Eternal Flame Alliance’s decisions; you must find out who is behind it.”
Flash Dust's heart tightened. He knew the importance of this mission, took a deep breath, and replied, "Rest assured, Shadow Master, I will do my best."
The shadow puppeteer's gaze was fixed on the distance, his eyes seemingly piercing through layers of buildings.
More and more people have gathered in the desert.
Within a few days, these people will head to the Central Plains defense line, and the Eternal Flame Alliance must act ahead of schedule.
The person who shot this arrow must possess extraordinary equipment, and naturally, he would also want a weapon capable of severely injuring a superhuman.
Shan Feichen, standing to the side, carefully held the armor-piercing arrow, his fingers gently stroking the shaft.
He closed his eyes and began to gather his supernatural power.
The surrounding air began to fluctuate, and an invisible force surged from his body, slowly wrapping around the armor-piercing arrow.
"Ask about things," Flash Dust murmured.
The arrow began to shimmer with light, as if a soul was awakening within it.
Immediately afterwards, the armor-piercing arrow seemed to come alive and responded to him actively.
As the superpower was successfully activated, Flash Dust's consciousness began to come into contact with the soul within the Armor-Piercing Arrow.
He saw blurry images flashing before his eyes.
The arrow was too fast; in the blink of an eye, all that could be seen was Jiang Lie, whose head had been blown off by the arrow.
He frowned, trying hard to decipher the complex information.
After a long search using the Flash Dust ability, the image finally settled on a man holding a crossbow.
"I've found you."
A cold smile curled at the corner of Shan Feichen's lips.
......
At the entrance of Qingcheng.
As soon as Li Yu and Fu Xiyao returned to Qingcheng, someone came to greet them.
"Alliance Leader Li Yu, this way please."
The team leader, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, suddenly stepped forward very politely to greet Li Yu.
As they spoke, he even offered to help lead the horse and personally walked ahead to guide Li Yu back.
Li Yu was a little confused. Why did this group leader suddenly change his title? He had never asked anyone to call him the leader.
With the team leader leading the way, Li Yu and the other person quickly returned to the outside of the makeshift hospital. The team leader then hurriedly waited at the door, as if he were there specifically to serve Li Yu.
Ignoring the team leader's unusual enthusiasm, Li Yu was about to push open the door when a commotion suddenly erupted from inside the makeshift hospital, as if someone was shouting something.
Somewhat curious, he lowered his hand and, instead of going in directly, gently pushed open the door a crack and peered inside with curiosity.
Ma Yuanbai was standing high on the table, speaking passionately as if he were giving a lecture.
All the refugees sat in orderly rows below, listening attentively.
Li Yu also leaned in to eavesdrop and discovered that Ma Yuanbai wasn't talking about reading and writing at all, and that he seemed very excited.
At this moment, Ma Yuanbai's inspiring voice rang out again:
"Don't worry, everyone. The hardship of migration is only temporary."
"As long as we continue to follow Alliance Leader Li Yu, we will all live a good life."
"Li Yu will lead us to a place free from disasters and to build a new city!"
At this point, Ma Yuanbai raised his voice again:
"Let's build a city that belongs to us!"
"Good!" Zhao Xiong echoed loudly.
"Clap clap clap!"
The applause was thunderous, and the refugees clapped their hands with great excitement, some even with tears in their eyes.
"Second-tier Awakened Ones, step forward!" Ma Yuanbai shouted.
Among the refugees who awakened because Li Yu shot and destroyed the Nightmare Beast, a few with good talent actually became second-tier awakeners early on, thanks to the help of the green algae stick.
While such rapid improvement in strength may not have a high ceiling, it is sufficient to manage ordinary refugees.
Upon hearing Ma Yuanbai's order, these two awakened individuals, who had already reached the second level, proudly stepped out from the crowd of refugees.
Ma Yuanbai shouted to the people who stepped forward:
"From now on, you are the captains of the Wanderers' Alliance Self-Defense Force, and you can recruit five members on your own."
"The Self-Defense Forces' responsibility is to protect everyone's safety, understand?"
"We know!" several awakened individuals answered loudly and firmly.
After Ma Yuanbai finished speaking, Zhao Xiong, who was standing next to him, hurriedly handed him several simply made green name tags.
The name tag was embroidered with a man holding a bow and arrow, riding a warhorse, looking incredibly brave.
Ma Yuanbai hung the name tags on the chests of the group one by one.
The men straightened their chests, their faces filled with excitement, as if accepting this supreme honor.
The refugees looked at the green name tags on the chests of the group, their eyes revealing not only envy but also longing.
Ma Yuanbai's sharp gaze swept over the newly appointed captains one by one, his eyes carrying a hint of sternness:
"You bear the responsibility of the Self-Defense Force, and you are also the future hope of the entire Wanderers' Alliance. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" the captains replied in unison.
Ma Yuanbai looked at the new team leaders and was very satisfied.
Because these team leaders were all carefully selected by him, and they even possessed a spirit of sacrifice that was quite rare among refugees.
"The medals have been awarded. Everyone else, keep up the good work. Everyone has a chance to advance."
"Now let's start distributing today's food. Everyone, shout out your slogans!" Ma Yuanbai clenched his fist and raised it high.
The refugees raised their fists together and solemnly shouted three times in unison:
"Loyalty! Loyalty! Loyalty!"
Li Yu, who was outside the door, was stunned and didn't come to her senses for a long time.
The development of this wanderers' alliance seems a bit off.
