"Where to look?" Ye Zhongming felt that since Team Leader Liang mentioned it, he wouldn't be speaking aimlessly.
"I know a place, but... it's a bit dangerous." Team Leader Liang hesitated for a moment, "These three solid stone statues were bought from a battle team. Their people once revealed their origin, but because they were not strong enough, they couldn't obtain more."
"What place?"
"Alien desolate land!" Team Leader Liang named a location and gave a rough idea of its position, "It's very dangerous there. The life forms inside are either very special or possess unique abilities. Although that battle team's strength is inferior to those famous in the country, they are not weak either. However, they only managed to venture a few hundred meters in before retreating, and even so, many people died."
Ye Zhongming recalled and confirmed that he had never heard of this desolate land in his previous life.
After building these defense fortresses in Cloud Summit, everyone began their journey away. Cloud Summit didn't want to keep them behind, but given that these people had already pledged allegiance to the Su Clan, it was impossible for them to genuinely serve Cloud Summit. Therefore, Xia Lei, representing Ye Zhongming, only expressed a slight intention of retention before not pursuing further.
Watching them leave with a large number of mutated life specimen and various tools prepared by Cloud Summit, Ye Zhongming and his subordinates couldn't help but feel a bit melancholic.
These cosmic races in the sky were complex and powerful, with all sorts of bizarre abilities. It was uncertain whether Cloud Summit would be able to handle conflicts with them in the future.
"In the secret realm, the consolidation work of the posthumous child tribe has been completed, and they are gathering towards the Royal City. They haven't passed through the space-time gate yet, but we need to arrange a place for them in advance."
Xia Lei and Ye Zhongming walked within Cloud Summit Villa. When the two were together, they often had many matters to discuss.
"How many new additions are there?" Although the war launched by the Temple of Dawn resembled genocide, starting with the outer regions and leaving no posthumous child tribe untouched.
However, the secret realm is vast, and the Temple's troops are limited, making it impossible to truly wipe out every single posthumous child. After the great war, the posthumous children confirmed their migration to Earth. They began to send people to assist Cloud Summit Villa and themselves in collecting magic crystals and gathering herbs while also searching for and consolidating their clansmen. In recent days, more and more posthumous child tribes have received news and started heading towards the Royal City, with the number of people increasing every day.
"I'm not quite sure," Xia Lei said, "Initially, you arranged for them to go to South Korea, and later you agreed to help them get there. This is a troublesome matter. The sea route is not feasible, and the land journey is long. Do you expect them to travel by air? Let's see how you plan to handle it."
Ye Zhongming chuckled nonchalantly, "If everything were that easy, I wouldn't be their friend anymore; I'd be their master."
The posthumous children helped Cloud Summit, and although it was essentially for their own sake, Ye Zhongming still needed to fulfill his promises. Once the posthumous children completely migrated to Earth, the migration from the Temple of Dawn would also need to begin, marking a period of busyness on all fronts.
Before that, Ye Zhongming had a lot to do.
The first task was to seek revenge on the culprits who attacked Cloud Summit.
This was necessary; otherwise, if Cloud Summit didn't establish a reputation for settling scores, anyone could come and provoke them. Even if it couldn't inflict severe damage on Cloud Summit, it would still drain a lot of energy, which Ye Zhongming did not want to see.
However, that mysterious organization had remained very secretive for some reason. Under Cloud Summit's hefty bounty, only a few traces had been revealed. Avoidance had been secretly investigating and had obtained some information, even having skirmished with them in some inconspicuous corners.
