Chapter 435 Revenge
Next, the ape army marched on, stopping whenever they encountered a human city, but there were no humans in these cities.
There was no trace of a human in more than ten cities.
This made Yuan Hong realize something was amiss. Even if the humans were to evacuate all the humans from these cities to avoid the apes' military might...
But they can't keep retreating like this forever!
On the contrary, it would provide convenience for the apes, as there would be no obstacles along the way, and the ape army could easily penetrate deep into the human territory.
Where can the human race retreat to then? They can't just abandon the territory of the Central Region and leave it!
"Send out scouts to find out exactly how many human cities ahead are empty..."
Yuan Hong spoke to the ape clan beside him.
"Here!"
The ape-man accepted the order and immediately went to make the arrangements.
"Lord Jin Min, something unusual is happening with the human race. They may be plotting something. I would be grateful if Lord Jin Min and your powerful subordinates could make a trip to the human ancestral court to see what they are up to..."
Then, Yuan Hong looked at Jin Min and spoke.
Jin Min frowned slightly upon hearing Yuan Hong's words.
Does this Yuan Hong really treat him as his subordinate?
How dare they order him around!
"Clan Chief Yuan Hong! You can send any Tribulation Transcending Realm expert to handle this matter. Why must I go in person?"
Kim Min said in an unfriendly tone.
"Lord Jin Min, please don't be angry. As you know, although the human race has declined, there is still a Human Immortal Realm expert among them. If we only send someone at the Tribulation Transcending stage, we probably won't find anything at all..."
"My ape clan only has one Immortal Realm expert, myself. I also need to oversee the army to prevent a human attack, so I really can't spare the time. That's why I dare to trouble Lord Jin Min to make this trip in person..."
Yuan Hong's expression remained unchanged as he patiently explained to Jin Min.
Jin Min heard Yuan Hong's earnest words and thought that he had originally been sent by the Holy Demon Emperor to assist the ape clan.
Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem like a big deal for me to make the trip myself.
"Fine!"
"Then I will personally make a trip to the ancestral court of the human race to see what exactly the human race is up to!"
Yuan Hong eventually agreed, as he also wanted to see what the human race was up to.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Kim Min..."
Upon hearing Jin Min's agreement, Yuan Hong smiled and spoke.
Jin Min nodded, then led his men away from the main force and headed towards the ancestral home of the human race.
Watching Jin Min's departing figure, Yuan Hong revealed a cold smile.
How could he not know that Jin Min was sent by the Holy Demon Emperor to monitor him, and helping them fight against the human race was just a side effect?
If there is any danger, Kim Min will definitely be the first to run away.
Since that's the case, we might as well let it demonstrate its value as much as possible, which would be making the best use of it.
"Chieftain, shall we continue?"
A powerful ape clan member standing next to Yuan Hong asked the question.
"Have Yuan Du come and take me to the Fengyuan Mountains. I want to see who killed Yuan Hu..."
"You should rest here for a while until our scouts find out what's going on ahead..."
Yuan Hong spoke to the powerful figure.
"Here!"
The powerful figure spoke respectfully.
A short while later, Sarutoshi arrived; his injuries had not yet fully healed.
Originally, Yuan Hong did not intend for him to come, but he begged to come.
He wanted to see the human who had once severely injured him kneel before him and beg for mercy.
Seeing his persistence, Yuan Hong agreed. Yuan Du had suffered damage to his foundation, and the human had left a great shadow in his heart.
There will be almost no chance of making a breakthrough again in the future.
However, if we can help him resolve this inner conflict, there might still be a sliver of a chance.
"Clan leader!"
Yuan Du bowed to Yuan Hong.
"Hmm! Take me to the Fengyuan Mountains, kill the humans there, and settle this knot in your heart..."
Yuan Hong nodded and said.
"Thank you so much, Chieftain!"
Upon hearing Yuan Hong's words, Yuan Du's face lit up with joy, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He quickly clasped his hands in greeting.
After that, the two headed towards the Fengyuan Mountains without taking anyone else with them.
This is not arrogance, but rather absolute confidence in their own abilities.
Yuan Hong is a genuine human immortal realm expert.
According to Yuan Du, the two humans in Fengyuan Mountain Range only had the cultivation level of the early stage of Tribulation Transcending. Although they could fight against opponents of higher levels, he did not believe that they were a match for him, a human immortal realm expert.
Before long, the two arrived at the outskirts of the Fengyuan Mountains.
As soon as he arrived, Yuan Hong sensed that there was a lot of human presence in the Fengyuan Mountains.
A smile crept onto his lips. Thankfully, the humans here hadn't fled.
Otherwise, it will take a lot of effort to find them again.
It's not certain that we'll be able to find it.
"Let's go! Today, I will avenge you and Yuanhu..."
Saruwatari said calmly.
Saruwatari nodded solemnly, his gaze towards the Fengyuan Mountains filled with rage.
It was here that he was beaten to the point of being half-dead, and Yuan Hu also perished here.
Now that I'm back, I'm determined to take revenge. I'll make that human kneel before me and let him experience what it's like to be worse than dead.
The two entered the Fengyuan Mountains without any attempt to conceal their presence, walking in openly and honestly.
In Yuan Hong's view, hiding is something only those who lack strength do. A strong person like him, who possesses absolute strength, has no need to hide at all.
Inside Fengyuan Fortress.
Huo Qubing and his men noticed Yuan Hong and his companions as soon as they appeared outside the Fengyuan Mountains.
"It seems the prey has taken the bait; we can now notify General Yue Fei to make his move..."
Huo Qubing's lips curled slightly as he spoke calmly.
"I'll go and inform General Yue Fei right away..."
Zhao Yun stood up and said in a deep voice.
In fact, the reason why the apes did not encounter a single human along the way was due to the Qin Dynasty's machinations.
It was the Qin Dynasty that ordered Xuan Kongzi to relocate all the people in the outer cities of the human race's territory to other places.
As for why they did that, we'll find out later.
"Let's go! Let's go and meet this ape-clan's Immortal Realm expert, and see just how strong he really is..."
After Zhao Yun left, Huo Qubing smiled slightly and then walked outside first.
Han Xin and Li Siye followed closely behind.
On the only road to Fengyuan Fortress, Yuan Hong and Yuan Du were moving at high speed, and all the monsters along the way were frightened away by the terrifying aura emanating from the two.
Suddenly, Yuan Hong stopped in his tracks.
He looked ahead, a cold smile playing on his lips, and said, "You have quite the nerve. Knowing I'm here, instead of trying to escape, you dare come before me. You're truly courting death..."
