CHAPTER 201: CHAPTER 182 TRAGEDY OF XIANG YUAN

At the cave entrance of Giant Peak Mountain, a space rift suddenly appeared, and a graceful figure emerged from it.

"Ah, I’m exhausted."

The woman who previously battled the City Lord of Sapporo in the sky, Nidya, stepped out from within.

At this moment, Black Tortoise City’s City Lord Aiborn, who had been waiting there, looked at her and smiled:

"Did that old man do anything to you?"

Nidya gave Aiborn a charming sidelong glance, disdainfully:

"Does he think he can do anything to me? Are you joking?"

Speaking, her brows suddenly furrowed with worry:

"If it wasn’t for being guided by the Father God in advance, I wouldn’t have known that there were still living members of the Cyclops Race. It’s truly unexpected."

As she said this, Nidya’s face couldn’t help but show an angry expression:

"I can’t believe the Orochi Race would be so ruthless to their own kind, it’s utterly unforgivable."

"If I hadn’t promised my sister not to act rashly, I would definitely seek justice for them."

At this moment, Nidya suddenly recalled those people who were sent here to investigate the disappearance of the Cyclops Race.

Nidya looked at Aiborn and asked:

"Those people should have known about this too, right? Why didn’t they rescue them at the time?"

Noticing the unusual expression on Aiborn’s face at that moment, Nidya was moved within.

She looked at Aiborn in surprise, shocked:

"Did you know about this all along?"

Looking at the utterly shocked woman before him, Aiborn didn’t intend to hide it and nodded:

"I knew."

"What? You..."

Seeing the woman about to say something, Aiborn preemptively interrupted:

"But this matter is far more complicated than you think. Don’t ask anymore, there’s no way I can tell you."

"Anyway, they’re rescued now, and we will compensate their race well."

Perhaps thinking of something, Nidya’s face changed dramatically as she pointed at Aiborn:

"You wouldn’t..."

Aiborn expressionlessly pressed down Nidya’s delicate hand,

"Alright, your task is complete, you should go."

Seeing Aiborn’s unwillingness to say more, Nidya stood silently in place.

After a while, Nidya looked up at Aiborn, her beautiful eyes filled with uncertainty:

"If those Chosen Ones hadn’t chosen to go to the He Clan Peninsula, would the Cyclops Race have..."

Aiborn did not answer but sighed and repeated:

"You should go back, don’t ask anymore."

Though she didn’t get an answer from Aiborn, Nidya seemed to have gotten some sort of answer, her expression pained:

"Whose idea was this? Was it them too?"

Suddenly, Aiborn seemed angry as he looked at Nidya, speaking seriously:

"Nidya, some things are not told for your own good. This matter ends here."

"If you really want to know why, go ask that person."

Saying this, Aiborn showed a hint of helplessness on his face:

"If he’s willing to tell you."

"Now, you must go!"

Nidya gave Aiborn an indignant look, furious beyond comparison:

"How are you any different from the Orochi Race? Bastard!"

Saying that, Nidya disappeared from sight.

With Nidya’s disappearance, Aiborn showed a helpless expression and muttered to himself:

"It’s not something I can change, why curse me? Besides, it’s not my decision."

"Sigh..."

As Aiborn said, sometimes knowing nothing is better.

When you know it’s wrong but are powerless to change it, just watching it happen.

That kind of situation is the most painful and tormenting for a person.

If given a choice, Aiborn would rather not know all this and live more freely.

Nidya had just left not long ago when another space rift appeared beside Aiborn.

"Hmm?"

Aiborn frowned, then his expression turned fierce:

"Perfect timing."

Still simmering with frustration from Nidya’s words, Aiborn was unexpectedly presented with someone coming to him at this moment.

Wouldn’t it be a shame to not do something with your ’enthusiasm’?

In a flash, as thoughts raced, Aiborn clenched his right hand into a fist, and a terrifying Power of Water Element engulfed his arm.

In the blink of an eye, Aiborn punched forcefully towards the rift, roaring:

"Get out."

A miserable "ouch" echoed from within.

The space rift instantaneously closed, as if nothing had happened.

Having done all this, Aiborn let out a sigh:

"That’s much better now."

On a distant island overseas, Xiang Yuan spewed a mouthful of blood.

He stared in horror towards the direction of the Rafam Interior, incredulous:

"Black Tortoise War God Aiborn? How is he there?"

Suddenly, Xiang Yuan had a bad feeling:

"Not good!"

As Xiang Yuan rushed back to Sapporo City, seeing the city in ruins, he gritted his teeth:

"Baka, bastard."

The next moment, Xiang Yuan appeared at the door of the Water Prison, where surrounding generals tidying up saluted:

"Emperor Xiangyuan."

Already looking grim, Xiang Yuan suddenly laughed angrily and said:

"Good, good, good."

Then Xiang Yuan disappeared instantly from the spot.

...

Meanwhile, Lin Yi and the others had returned to the cave through the Teleportation Array Kamoda activated.

As they appeared in the cave, almost everyone collapsed helplessly to the ground.

Tian Ci lay on the floor, sighing:

"I can’t believe I can return alive in this lifetime, it’s truly great."

Shuai Diao kicked him:

"Shut up if you can’t speak properly."

Tian Ci chuckled.

Looking at these people, some sitting, some lying down, Lin Yi said to Kamoda:

"What are your plans next?"

Kamoda, also clueless, sat aside,

"Maybe just take my people back to our former place and start over."

Seeing these Cyclops who escaped death, Lin Yi felt emotional:

"If there’s anything I can help with, let me know."

Kamoda shook his head and said:

"You’ve already done enough for us, how can we trouble you further?"

Then, without waiting for Lin Yi to speak, Kamoda asked back:

"I heard you came here to find the whereabouts of Divit, right?"

"Yeah,"

Lin Yi looked at Kamoda in surprise,

"Do you know where we can find him?"

Hearing this, Shengshi Drunkard got excited at once.

He’s still thinking about his quest reward, after all.

Kamoda smiled and said:

"Of course I know."

Then Kamoda stood up and said:

"Let’s go, I’ll take you there."

"But before that, as a repayment, I’ll first take you to a place."

With that, Kamoda walked towards the cave entrance.

Upon hearing this, Shengshi Drunkard and others couldn’t help but brighten up.

Needless to say, the place they’re going should be the reward for rescuing the Cyclops Race.

Lin Yi walked beside Kamoda, curiously asking:

"Can I know where we’re going?"

Kamoda glanced at Lin Yi and smiled:

"There lies the accumulated wealth of our race for tens of thousands of years."

Today’s update ends here.
