Chapter 438: Return to the Holy City
Early the next morning, Nalan Qinghuai came again, and he brought a piece of news.
The princess and the elders decided to stop the beast tide later, and what they had to do now was to gather their people to return to the Holy City to rebuild their homes.
They have sent people to the Holy City overnight to check, if the news of the retreat of the beast tide is true, they will soon leave here and go to the Holy City, if Xiao Hua wants to go, they can go together, if they don't want to go, they can stay here or leave on their own.
Xiao Hua decided to go with them without thinking about it, because the Holy City was now in ruins, corpses were everywhere, and they needed to be cleaned up in time, and there were not many people concentrated in the Weiwu Gate, only a few thousand.
Although the third elder led Wu Xiu to withdraw nearly a million mortals from the Nalan clan and other small clans from the West Gate, those people had already scattered and hid in the mountains after leaving the city, and it would take time to gather them.
Now that Xiao Hua has made up his mind to stay in the Orc Continent and has made contact with the Nalan people, now is a great opportunity for him to perform, not to mention that saving people and dealing with the aftermath is a blessing, so he has to go.
So ten days later, the people sent to check on him returned to make sure that the beast tide had really retreated, and Xiao Hua began to return to the Holy City with the Nalan people.
Due to the fact that there were martial cultivators in the team and some heavy items pulled, it was fifteen days after the group arrived at the Holy City.
But everyone did not stop, and under the leadership of the princess and the two elders, thousands of people rushed straight to the inner city, and they wanted to start from the inner city and clean up the outside.
After a short period of mourning and sorrow, everyone began to clean up, but fortunately, these thousands of people were either immortal cultivators or martial cultivators, and the speed of cleaning up was very fast.
What should be burned, what should be moved, what should be lifted, what should be swept away, in less than a day, the ancient castle where the Nalan sect was located was cleaned up, and thousands of people temporarily had a place to stay.
Three days later, the mortals of the Nalan tribe began to return, and then more and more people returned, not only mortals of various races, but also some lost and lonely martial cultivators and immortal cultivators, and the entire main city began to be rebuilt after the disaster.
During the period, there were no miscellaneous matters, only that the cleanup of the Nalan people had been carried out for three months, and all the bones of the brutes outside the city had been cleaned up, and more than half of the building ruins had been cleaned up, and new buildings had begun to be built in some places.
Xiao Hua has been tired in the past three months, he used to be a contractor, and he didn't go to the construction site, but this construction site is too big, and he has to contribute in person, which can't be compared with before.
It's true that he is an immortal cultivator, but cleaning up the ruins is to put it bluntly, it is to move bricks, and it is all irregular ruins, even if it is an infancy monk with boundless mana to move for three months, I am afraid that he will be tired and half dead.
Xiao Hua not only darkened a circle, but also lost a circle, and one abdominal muscle finally became eight.
However, Xiao Hua's efforts were finally recognized by the Nalan people, and some martial cultivators and immortal cultivators had already regarded him as friends, and even that Nalan Zixia was not so cold when she saw Xiao Hua, and would smile and nod with him.
After the first stage of cleaning was completed, Xiao Hua was called by Nalan Qinghuai to the main hall of the sect in the inner city.
This hall has been restored, after all, this is the symbol of the Nalan people's clan power, and the first place to repair the Nalan Holy City is here, not only the damaged places are completely repaired, but even the furniture and accessories are all complete.
There were still three high-backed chairs, Nalan Zixia sat in the middle, the two elders sat on either side, and there were more than a dozen Nalan monks from the late Jindan period standing on the left and right, all of whom were stewards and deacons with a certain responsibility.
"Terran friend, you have worked hard in the past few months, the cleanup of the holy city has basically ended, the next step is to rebuild, but the reconstruction is not a matter of one or two days, we called you here to ask you about your future plans"
That Elder Song spoke, he was the Second Elder.
"Two elders, princess, I don't have anything to do for the time being, so it's better to stay here and rebuild the holy city with you."
Xiao Hua didn't want to leave, he came to the Half-Orc Continent in addition to looking for the return stone and also wanted to find a place to cultivate, if he left now, wouldn't his previous efforts be in vain.
"Little friend of the Terran race, we appreciate your kindness, but your task of helping Elder Feng deliver the news has been completed, and the beast tide has retreated, you are afraid that you should return to the Terran Continent to resume your life, do you want to stay in the Holy Continent all the time?"
"This, uh, I want to go back, but the retreat of the beast tide means that the brute beast has returned to the brute beast continent, with my current cultivation, I'm afraid I can't go back, it's better for me to stay here and cultivate for a while and wait for the strength to become stronger before leaving"
Xiao Hua had already thought of a countermeasure, and he would not leave even if he was killed, and he would stay if he said anything.
"Well, that's right, the beast tide retreated, naturally you returned to the Barbarian Beast Continent, with you now only being a cultivator in the middle stage of Jindan, it is really impossible to cross the Barbarian Beast Continent"
Elder Song paused when he said this: "But after all, you are a human race, if you stay for a long time, I'm afraid it will not be very convenient."
"Elder Song, it's true that I'm a human race, but everyone is a person who cultivates immortals, the reason why I came here is also to inform Elder Feng of the news of the beast tide, since we have to deal with brute beasts, why bother to divide the human race and other races"
"Xiaoyou's words are wrong, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, you are not a threat to us at the moment, but if one day your human race and my holy race are opposed, wouldn't it be dangerous for you to stay here?"
"Elder Song, you think too much, the Terran Continent and the Holy Continent are far apart, and there is still the Brute Continent in between, how can the Terran come to oppose your Saint Clan?"
"Although this beast tide is aimed at the Holy Clan Continent, it has also really affected the Terran Continent, otherwise how could I be here, Elder Song, the Terran Race will not only not be an enemy of you, but may become an ally"
"Become an ally?" , Matsucho frowned and didn't speak again.
"Otherwise", Nalan Zixia said.
"Xiao Daoyou, if you are willing to swear to the gods, you will never be an enemy of the Nalan people, and you will never harm the Nalan people, once you violate it, you will be punished by heaven, then you can continue to stay here"
"This ......, I swear that it's okay, but I have to state first, I won't take the initiative to be your enemy, but if any Nalan people deliberately make trouble for me, I will definitely not be arrested", Xiao Hua kept a hand.
"That's natural, personal grievances are not included, what I'm saying is that you can't help other races deal with us, including you human races", Nalan Zixia added.
"That's no problem, the five principles of peaceful coexistence are us, uh ......, okay, just do as you say, personal grievances are not included."
Xiao Hua almost missed another sentence, so he quickly stopped, and then swore an oath.
"Okay, since Xiao Daoyou has sworn that from now on, you are a friend of my Nalan people, and you are welcome."
After Nalan Zixia finished speaking, she smiled and nodded at Xiao Hua, and the two elders also nodded at Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua is very happy, the Nalan people have recognized him, then he can stay here to cultivate openly.
If you can really encourage the high-level monks of the Nalan people to go to the Barbarian Beast Continent to kill that monster, and then bubble this Nalan princess by the way, then this trip to the Half-Orc Continent will be complete.
