Early the next morning, Nalan Qinghuai came again, bringing a message.
It is said that the princess and the elders decided to stop the beast tide later. What they have to do now is to gather the tribesmen 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 for the Holy City. If Xiao Hua wants to go, he can go together. If he doesn't want to go, he can stay here or leave on his own.
Xiao Hua decided to go with them without thinking, because the Holy City was now in ruins, with corpses everywhere, and needed to be cleaned up in time. There were not many people concentrated in the Mighty Gate, only a few thousand people.
Although the third elder led Wu Xiu to evacuate nearly a million mortals from the Nalan tribe and other small tribes from Ximen, those people had dispersed 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 come into contact with the Nalan people, now is a great opportunity for him to show off. Besides, saving people and rectifying the aftermath is a blessing, so he must go.
So ten days later, the people sent to check returned to confirm that the beast tide had really retreated, and Xiao Hua followed the Nalan people and began to return to the Holy City.
Since there were martial arts cultivators in the team and they were also carrying some luggage, it was fifteen days before the group arrived at the Holy City.
But no one stopped. Under the leadership of the princess and the two elders, thousands of people rushed straight to the inner city. They wanted to clean up from the inner city outwards.
After a short period of mourning and weeping, everyone began to clean up. Fortunately, these thousands of people were either immortal cultivators or martial arts cultivators, so they cleaned up very quickly.
Burn what needs to be burned, move what needs to be moved, lift what needs to be carried, and sweep what needs to be swept. In less than a day, the old castle where the Nalan clan is located has been cleaned up, and thousands of people have a temporary place to stay.
Three days later, mortals from the Nalan tribe began to return, and then more and more people returned. Not only were mortals from various tribes, but also some separated and lone martial and immortal cultivators, the entire main city began to suffer from the aftermath of the disaster. reconstruction.
I won’t mention the chores during this period, except that the cleanup of the Nalan people has been going on for three months. All the corpses of beasts outside the city and outside the city have been cleared, and more than half of the building ruins have been cleared. New buildings have begun to be built in some places.
Xiao Hua has been exhausted in the past three months. He used to be a contractor and went to the construction site frequently, but this construction site is too big and he has to do his own work, which is incomparable to before.
It's true that he is an immortal cultivator, but to put it bluntly, cleaning up the ruins means moving bricks, and they are all irregular ruins. Even an infant monk with boundless power would probably be exhausted even if he moved for three months.
Xiao Hua not only lost weight, but also lost weight, and his one abdominal muscle finally turned into eight pieces.
However, Xiao Hua's efforts were finally recognized by the Nalan people. Some martial arts cultivators and immortal cultivators have regarded him as a friend. Even Nalan Zixia was not so cool when she saw Xiao Hua, and would smile and nod with him. head.
After the first stage of cleanup was completed, Xiao Hua was called to the sect hall in the inner city by Nalan Qinghuai.
This hall has been repaired. After all, this is the symbol of the rights of the Nalan people. The first place to be repaired in the Holy City of Nalan is here. Not only the damaged areas have been completely repaired, but even the furniture and accessories have been completed.
There are still three high-back chairs. Nalan Zixia is sitting in the middle. Two elders are sitting on both sides. There are also more than a dozen Nalan monks in the late Jindan stage standing below. These people are all stewards with certain responsibilities. deacon.
"My little friend from the human race, you have worked hard these past few months. The cleanup of the Holy City has basically been completed. The next step is to rebuild, but reconstruction is not a matter of a day or two. We called you here because we want to ask you about your future plans."
Elder Song spoke, he was the second elder.
"Two elders, princess, I have nothing to do for the time being, so why don't I stay here and rebuild the holy city with you."
Xiao Hua didn't want to leave. He came to Orc Continent not only to find the Return Stone but also to find a place to practice. If he left now, wouldn't all his previous efforts be in vain.
"My little friend from the human race, we appreciate your kindness, but your task of helping Elder Feng deliver the message has been completed, and the beast tide has receded. I'm afraid it's time for you to return to the human continent to resume your life. Do you want to stay in the holy continent all the time?"
"Well, I really want to go back, but the retreat of the beast tide means that the beasts have returned to the beast continent. With my current cultivation level, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back. It's better for me to stay here and practice for a while until I become stronger. "Leave again"
Xiao Hua has already thought of a countermeasure. He will not leave even if he is killed, and he will stay no matter what.
"Well, that's true. The tide of beasts receded and they naturally returned to the Brutal Beast Continent. Considering that you are only in the middle stage of the Golden Core, it is really impossible to cross the Brutal Beast Continent."
Elder Song paused when he said this: "But you are a human race after all. If you stay for a long time, it may not be convenient."
"Elder Song, it's true that I am from the human race, but everyone is a cultivator of immortals. The reason why I am here is to inform Elder Feng about the beast tide. Since what we have to deal with are savage beasts, why bother dividing the human race into other races? "
"My little friend, what you said is wrong. People who are not from my race must have different thoughts. You are not a threat to us now, but if one day your human race and my holy race are against each other, wouldn't it be dangerous for you to stay here?"
"Elder Song, you are overthinking. The Human Continent and the Saint Continent are far apart, and there is also the Savage Beast Continent in between. How can the Human Race come to confront your Saint Clan?"
"Although this beast wave is targeting the Holy Continent, it has also really affected the Human Continent. Otherwise, why would I be here? Elder Song, not only will the Human Race not be your enemy, but it may become your ally."
"Become an ally?" Song Chang frowned and said no more.
"Otherwise," Nalan Zixia interrupted.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, if you are willing to swear to the gods that you will never be enemies of the Nalan people, and you will never harm the Nalan people. If you violate it, you will be punished by God, then you can continue to stay here."
"This... I can swear, but I have to declare first that I will not take the initiative to be your enemy, but if there are Nalan people who deliberately cause trouble for me, I will definitely not let them go without mercy." Xiao Hua held back.
"That's natural. Personal grudges are not included. What I'm saying is that you can't help other races deal with us, including your human race," Nalan Zixia added.
"That's no problem. The five principles of peaceful coexistence are what we, uh..., okay, we will do as you say. Personal grudges are not included."
Xiao Hua almost let it slip again, so he quickly stopped and made an oath.
"Okay, since Fellow Daoist Xiao has sworn an oath, from now on, you are my friend from the Nalan people. You are welcome."
After Nalan Zixia finished speaking, she smiled and nodded to Xiao Hua, and the two elders also nodded to Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua is very happy that the Nalan people recognize him, so he can stay here to practice openly.
If he could really encourage the high-level monks of the Nalan people to go to the Barbarian Beast Continent to kill that monster, and then pick up the Nalan Princess by the way, then his trip to the Orc Continent would be a complete success.
