"Alright, let's go."
Ning Beichen couldn't stand these people any longer. The humans of the Xidu world were on the verge of extinction, yet he was trapped here with no way out, and they still had the nerve to squabble amongst themselves.
He was extremely disappointed. Although he had long seen through human nature, he had held a sliver of hope that the humans of the Xidu world might be different.
In the end, he found they were no different from the humans in his own world, even more selfish, surpassing the people of Blue Star.
While a small portion of people stood with Ning Beichen, their numbers were few, and most of them were the ones he had rescued from the royal city.
However, as Ning Beichen was about to leave with the Asura King's daughter, he saw those people block his path and say,
"You can leave, but you must leave the Asura King's daughter behind."
"That's right, that's right, we have an irreconcilable hatred for this woman, we must leave her behind!"
"Exactly, if you don't leave her behind, none of you are leaving."
Relying on their numbers, the people in the camp surrounded Ning Beichen and his group, creating an air of impunity.
Some of them even cast their greedy gazes upon Liu Yilin and the others, ridiculously thinking of keeping her as well. This made Ning Beichen laugh in anger, and he then said sternly,
"With your conduct, you still expect me to help you escape the Avici Hell? Screw you all! Get lost!"
With a boom, a vast power was unleashed from Ning Beichen's body, descending upon the crowd like rolling boulders, crushing most of the Xidu cultivators present to the point of spitting blood.
At this moment, in their panic, they finally remembered Ning Beichen's strength. Perhaps they had lived in peace for too long and forgotten their predicament, thinking they were still in charge.
"Little friend Ning, please calm your anger."
The white-browed elder suddenly appeared and hurriedly said to Ning Beichen.
"Calm my anger? Calm my mother's anger! What were you doing before?"
Ning Beichen didn't even give the white-browed elder face, directly releasing his strongest aura to press down on him. The white-browed elder's expression changed drastically, and he immediately resisted with all his might, but after less than a minute, he began spitting blood repeatedly. Ning Beichen's aura pressed him down as if a thousand mountains were crushing his head.
At this moment, the white-browed elder realized that Ning Beichen had spared him face during their last spar and had not used his full strength, causing him immense regret.
In truth, he had known about what was happening here long ago, but he had not intervened to resolve it, even deliberately allowing it to escalate. Otherwise, these people would never have dared to attack Ning Beichen.
The primary reason was that after Ning Beichen rescued some humans, these humans became even more grateful to him, not to the people of this place. This inevitably led to some conflicts, making the white-browed elder feel that Ning Beichen posed a risk to his position.
Thus, the subsequent events unfolded.
Although he did not instigate it, he tacitly allowed it to happen. Without his indulgence, those people would never have been able to stir up trouble.
Ning Beichen was not a fool and could naturally guess the reason, which was why he was so impolite to the white-browed elder.
However, Ning Beichen had no intention of taking his life. After venting his anger, he withdrew his aura. Regardless, the white-browed elder had provided him with some assistance during the rescue of Liu Yilin.
But it was impossible for Ning Beichen to stay here; he wasn't that generous.
"Let's go."
Ning Beichen, with Liu Yilin and the others, along with the Asura King's daughter, left the human secret stronghold.
No one dared to stop them again, nor did anyone have the strength to do so. If they truly angered Ning Beichen and he killed them all, the loss would far outweigh any gain.
Some humans within the stronghold did not hesitate to follow Ning Beichen, trailing behind him. Ning Beichen did not drive them away.
The white-browed elder watched Ning Beichen leave, looking as if he had something to say but ultimately did not.
Firstly, he had lost face and couldn't speak.
Secondly, even if he had spoken, Ning Beichen would likely not have stayed.
Thirdly, it was due to his status as a powerful being.
After Ning Beichen led everyone away from the stronghold, the most pressing matter was to find another place to settle down.
He also wanted to leave the Avici Hell immediately, but he learned from the Asura King's daughter that only her father, the Asura King, could achieve this.
This meant that Ning Beichen and his group were temporarily unable to leave this place.
However, Ning Beichen had the Asura King's daughter in his possession. If he could find the Asura King, there was a high probability he could use her to threaten him, which was why Ning Beichen had kept her alive.
Not long after, Ning Beichen found a suitable location and began setting up an array of concealment. As long as they were careful, they could stay here for a while. After all, Ning Beichen had no intention of settling down and establishing a life here.
Ning Beichen took stock of the numbers and found that about eighty percent of the humans he had rescued had followed him, totaling nearly a hundred people.
However, this also presented many challenges for Ning Beichen, as taking care of over a hundred people was not easy.
Fortunately, these people were quite well-behaved. Especially after witnessing Ning Beichen's furious outburst earlier, no one dared to do anything out of line. Even when beauties like Liu Yilin walked past them, they quickly lowered their heads and dared not to look.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Ning Beichen did not venture out to do anything but remained focused on alleviating the side effects.
He had consumed too many elixirs previously, and the side effects had made him quite uncomfortable. After a few days of rest, he finally began to recover.
However, when he finished resting and emerged, he saw everyone waiting for him outside, which Ning Beichen found rather strange.
"What happened?"
Ning Beichen asked.
At this moment, Liu Yilin spoke.
"Beichen, the human stronghold is under siege by the Asura army."
"There's an Asura army outside?"
Ning Beichen asked urgently, but he heard no commotion.
"Not our stronghold, it's the human stronghold we left earlier."
Liu Yilin replied.
"Then it's none of our business."
Upon hearing it wasn't their stronghold, Ning Beichen immediately relaxed, saying indifferently.
"They sent someone to ask us for help."
Liu Yilin told Ning Beichen.
"No help. Why should we help them? We can barely protect ourselves. Have you forgotten how they treated us before?"
Ning Beichen said with a cold smile.
Liu Yilin said nothing more. Indeed, those people had left them with a very bad impression. If Ning Beichen hadn't been so powerful, they would have been bullied by those people.
