Chapter 298: Building An Army Part One
After making sure Wendy was settled in and thanking Loeri and the rest for looking after her. Mei exited her space and undid the barrier she set up. Both Tang Guanting and Grandpa Mu instantly appeared in front of Mei. "Alicia, I think you might have gone overboard. You even ripped a hole in the ne barrier." Grandpa Mu scolded.
"How was I supposed to know the barrier was so thin? Plus I had no choice. If I did not use enough strength, the machine race would still be here. " Mei felt a little disgruntled. She was trying to save the lives of millions. Why was she being scolded!?
"Huh? Lu n head what are you doing in the Mortal ne? Didn''t you say that ants are just ants so let them be destroyed? Wait why do you look like that!? Hahaha! Even the great Lu n headcan have days like this as well!"Tang Guanting was having a goodugh at the Lu n head''s current situation.
"Guanting! How are you rted to this little bastard? She destroyed a good portion of the Immortal Realm just now and killed thousands of our disciples and elders!!" The Lu n head yelled out.
He was just sitting there having tea looking at the new artifact that he had just acquired at an auction when suddenly his entire sect and the surrounding area were enshrouded in a bright light. It all happened in an instant. Every one of his defensive artifacts broke and even his skin was scorched. His beard caught on fire as well! When the light dimmed he almost went insane seeing everything he had built up had been destroyed. His entire sect, it''s elders, and even his disciples were all gone! Vaporized into thin air.
"That just goes to show that karma will always be returned tenfold. You did not want toe to help the lower realm in their time of need. While millions of mortals fought for many years against an enemy that even the Immortal Realm would not have a chance against. Yet you sat around having tea. Did you really think that they would not go to the higher nes after? Let''s just say that the cost of the lives of your sect members is thepensation that the mortal realm will take for each of the lives that were lost because you were on a power trip and refused to help." Tang Guanting looked at the old men still squished in the mud due to Mei''s gravity magic and sneered. "Each and every one of you refused to assist the Mortal ne and only show up when something from the Mortal ne destroys what you hold dear in the Immortal Realm. If you hade when I first asked and assisted in the battle we could have taken care of the invaders under Young Miss Mei''s orders and she would not have had to resort to using more strength than needed.
"The lives that were lost today due to your arrogance can only be med upon yourselves. If you truly wish to make a fuss about it then do not me me for finishing you off here and now. As it is right now I could easily kill all of you without much effort thanks to Young Miss Mei''s magic." After finishing his words Tang Guanting ignored the death res he was getting from five old men.
Mei was not even paying attention to what they were saying because she was lost in thought. She was worried that if she left this world if the Machine Empire came back they would attack and kill every cultivator here. "Alicia, what''s wrong?"
"Grandpa Mu did you do a headcount of all the people left?" Mei asked.
"Mhm, there are around a few million if I recall, why do you ask?" Grandpa Mu was not sure what Mei was going to do with this information.
Mei smiled and removed the talisman from her body that masked her appearance. Her ck hair turned a golden color and her ck eyes became also became a golden color. They did not return to the deep blue color they were before. "It is time for Mei to disappear and for me to return to my original form as Alicia Von istine. I will hold onest meeting with the leaders of the ns and sects. We will be taking back anyone who wishes to Phantasia with us. My space is big enough to fit a good number of people and supplies. I also have a cultivation method that can make them stronger. Those who wish to follow will have to form a contract with me and they will be able to learn this cultivation method. But in return, they will need to fight as one of my soldiers in the army I n to build from this day forth."
"Alicia, you n to build an army?" Grandpa Mu asked. He thought this was a very good idea.
"Yes. Unlike here in this cultivation world, there are many stronger enemies on Phantasia. I wish to build an elite army that can protect stine from these people. After I talk with the n and sect leaders, I need to make one more stop in the Immortal Realm." She still needed to find the object that the old man told her about that could only be found in thend where fire and ice meet. Only then could she return to Phantasia with Grandpa Mu.
"Young Miss Me No, I guess your real name is Alicia now. My Tang n would like to follow along. As I see it this world will soon be attacked again by the Machine Empire within the next few years. They are a race that will stop at nothing to gain what they want. So instead of staying here trying to fight off the Machine Empire in a war I know, we can''t win. I would rather relocate elsewhere." Tang Guanting hade to this decision a while ago. He wanted to have the entire Tang n relocate to Phantasia with Alicia.
