There was no point in saying more about Xue Bingling's matter. After confirming that her father and brother were not in any danger, she followed her heart and couldn't help but look around for Shang Xiye's figure.
Xue Moqian knew what his daughter was thinking, and fearing that she would be hurt again if she went to find Shang Xiye on her own, he said, "We were able to steal a chance to survive this time entirely thanks to Young Master Shang's great help. We should go and thank him. Bingling, help your father over there."
"Yes, Father." A hint of joy flashed in Xue Bingling's eyes as she quickly stepped forward to help Xue Moqian to his feet.
"Father, I'll go too!" Xue Bingsi also tried to get up, but he was too weak and couldn't stand up.
"You should lie down for now and go when you feel better. Judging from the commotion outside, there are hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts. Even if the Heavenly Tribulation were to be invoked, it wouldn't be able to clear them out so quickly," Xue Moqian said, looking as if he had aged two hundred years and his face was full of age.
At this moment, Shang Xiye was surrounded by many powerful demons, all of whom were expressing similar words of gratitude. Some even knelt down on the spot, raised their hands, and swore to follow Shang Xiye for the rest of their lives to repay the life-saving grace that Shang Xiye had shown to their clansmen today.
I am truly grateful.
Following is true.
However, they valued Shang Xiye's status as a high-level alchemist even more, and their scheme to secure a better future for themselves and their clansmen was genuine.
Unable to refuse no matter what, Shang Xiye had no choice but to tell the truth: "I know that everyone's thoughts are for the sake of their people to have a better life, but following me may not be a wise choice. This invasion by the demonic beast army has already caused heavy losses to everyone. If you follow me, in the future when facing the entire demon realm, your entire race may really be wiped out."
"What! Facing the entire Demon Realm?"
"Young Master Shang, how could you..."
Xue Moqian and Xue Bingling, who were about to arrive, also stopped in their tracks in shock.
"To be honest, I come from the Dan Sect of the Danling Continent." Shang Xiye recounted to everyone what he knew about the Danling Continent back then, but concealed his true identity.
Everyone fell silent after hearing this.
Many of the demon beast leaders awkwardly said they needed to go back and discuss it with their tribesmen.
The crowd surrounding Shang Xiye dwindled by more than half in an instant, and those who remained remained silent.
"If you ask me, you should all go back. Don't just stand here. You're not embarrassed, but I'm getting so embarrassed I could die," Ghost Face said disdainfully as he stood up and directly confronted them.
The remaining people blushed and paled as they were spoken to, and most of them left immediately, leaving only a few.
Ghost Face stared intently: Ha!
The vast Monster Forest is home to no fewer than a hundred different kinds of beasts, and nearly 100,000 have escaped today.
In the end, only these few wolf cubs knew how to write the four characters "知恩图报" (zhī ēn tú bài, meaning to repay kindness).
When people curse those who are ungrateful, they usually call them "ungrateful wretches."
But as it turns out, the ungrateful wolf really was the most affectionate and understanding among these monsters.
"Uh..." Ghost Face was feeling quite moved with himself and was about to praise the wolf cubs.
But before he could finish speaking, the wolf cubs belatedly stood up and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Young Master Shang, we also need to go back and discuss this with our clansmen."
Ghost Face: "!!!"
Holy crap...!
"It's alright," Shang Xiye said calmly. After everyone left, he sat down again, meditated peacefully, and regulated his breathing to recover from his injuries.
"Those mortals weren't wrong to curse them; they're all a bunch of ingrates," Ghost Face muttered angrily, baring his teeth.
