Chapter 1820 Slaying the Corpse King
However, none of them said these words aloud.
"That Corpse King's cultivation level is definitely more than just the Transcendent God level." The Yan family head was still too weak to stand, and he had to grab the elder next to him to stay upright.
"He was just standing in front of me, and I felt like I couldn't breathe, like someone was choking me."
Recalling what had just happened, the head of the Yan family trembled.
He had never been so close to death.
Moreover, he was standing inside Ruan Yu's barrier. The Corpse King didn't notice him. If there hadn't been a barrier, wouldn't the Corpse King have torn him to pieces the moment he appeared?
The head of the Yan family broke out in a cold sweat. He was flustered and dared not think any further.
"As you can see, the Corpse King's strength is beyond our capabilities." Ruan Yu glanced at the Yan family head with schadenfreude, but did not show it.
She did it on purpose.
The purpose is to teach the Yan family head a lesson, so that he won't interfere.
This is good enough. The Yan family head is so frightened that he has no time to argue with her.
"So what you mean, young friend..." the Gusu family head asked, following her words.
"Summon all the powerful warriors of the Ancient Path Continent to jointly slay the Corpse King!"
“Alright, leave this matter to me.” The head of the Gusu family accepted the heavy responsibility without hesitation.
The First Elder of the Gu Family: "Then leave the academy to me."
“I know some hidden sects and forces, I will handle the negotiations here,” the Yuan family head also stated.
In the end, only the Yan family remained.
The Yan family head was still in a daze, his mind filled with the image of the Corpse King's fierce and terrifying face, which was so close to him.
The elders of the Yan family coughed to remind him, but he was completely oblivious.
"This concerns the safety of all living beings on the Ancient Road Continent. Our Yan family should naturally contribute our modest efforts. In addition to providing the talismans needed for the great battle free of charge, I will also lead people to gather civilian forces." In the end, it was Yan Xu who stepped forward.
"Okay." The other three families looked at Yan Xu with a mixture of admiration and regret.
This young man is decisive and responsible.
He is even more impressive than some of the heads of households!
Afterwards, the group gathered together to discuss the matter, and as night approached, they dispersed with worried expressions on their faces.
Yan Xu paused for a moment, then turned around, only to find Ruan Yu already flying far away with the Gu family's group.
"Heh." Yan Xu could easily see that Ruan Yu was deliberately avoiding him.
If he had known, he would never have confessed his feelings. Now, Ruan Yu sees him as if he were a disaster, avoiding him at all costs.
The four great families do possess some skill; in less than a day, they managed to gather over a thousand high-level god-level experts.
These experts were brought before Ruan Yu for evaluation.
"Have you heard? An extremely powerful Corpse King has been born on our Ancient Road Continent."
"Isn't everyone who comes here aware of this place?"
"Haha, that's true. The four great families issued a general order, leading us to slay the Corpse King. I can understand that, but why bring us here and show us to a little girl before the campaign? What can she possibly understand?"
The powerful are proud and arrogant, so they naturally can't stand a young girl who is of higher status than them.
They spoke these words deliberately, in order to embarrass Ruan Yu in front of everyone.
"Just a pretty face with no substance!" a woman whose beauty could be described as stunning said sourly.
From childhood to adulthood, she grew up surrounded by praise from others. Not only was she exceptionally beautiful, but her talent and abilities also far surpassed those of ordinary people.
Along the way, he gained quite a few benefits thanks to this physical appearance.
But now she actually saw a woman who was hundreds, even thousands of times more beautiful than herself! Standing next to her, she felt like a maidservant, completely overshadowed!
The huge difference between before and after was unacceptable to her!
Where Ruan Yu was, it seemed as if people couldn't see her beauty.
Jiang He was filled with jealousy and resentment!
Ruan Yu felt the most venomous gaze from the crowd, which landed on Jiang He's face. She glanced at her, then looked away.
"Those whose cultivation level does not exceed the ninth rank of the God level, please leave." Her voice was calm, like a lake that could not be disturbed by a ripple.
These words immediately sparked outrage among the crowd: "What do you mean? We are full of passion and want to protect the continent, and you think you can just dismiss us with a few words?"
"We will absolutely not leave!"
"Those whose cultivation level is no higher than the ninth rank of the Divine Realm must leave? May I ask, what is your cultivation level?"
Ruan Yu did not reveal her aura, so no one knew her cultivation level.
A bone age test revealed she's only twenty-five!
Ruan Yu smiled slightly, revealing her peak ninth-level divine aura. In an instant, everyone's expression changed.
She actually has such a high level of cultivation! Isn't she only twenty-five years old?
Jiang He, in particular, stared intently at Ruan Yu with eyes that seemed to be poisoned.
Impossible! Absolutely impossible! She had stepped over the corpses of so many men to finally break through to the mid-stage of the ninth level of the God rank. Only she knew the hardships and humiliations she had endured along the way!
And she is already over five thousand years old! Ruan Yu is just a young girl in her twenties, not even a fraction of her age. How could she possibly have such a high level of cultivation?
“The Corpse King’s strength far surpasses that of ordinary Transcendent Realm experts. Anyone below the ninth rank would only be throwing their lives away.” Ruan Yu took in everyone’s shocked reactions and said calmly, “I’m doing this for your own good.”
Upon hearing that the Corpse King's cultivation level was so high, the group that had been protesting immediately fell silent.
Nobody wants to risk their life.
The group of over a thousand people was almost entirely wiped out, including some powerful individuals at the ninth level of the Divine Realm.
Ruan Yu did not say anything.
Some people are willing to die bravely, while others want to live peacefully; the two are not in conflict.
As the four major companies continued to recruit, their teams gradually expanded.
Today, Ruan Yu encountered something interesting.
"I'm not leaving! I have no family or friends left. Although my cultivation is just a drop in the ocean compared to everyone else's, there's no point in me living anymore. If I can still do my part for the people of the Ancient Dao Continent before I die, it's worth it!"
A handsome but disheveled young man with a stubble beard shouted from the crowd.
He was pushed and shoved by the guards of the Gu family, but finally he pried their hands off and ran back to the group.
God-level Tier 5.
Ruan Yu's expression changed. With such cultivation, going to the Giant Realm would only lead to certain death.
And it was the kind of death that was utterly meaningless.
Even if it self-destructs, it won't harm the Corpse King in the slightest!
As Ruan Yu was thinking, the young man was already running towards her, a bloodthirsty madness in his eyes: "Let me go! I also want to do my part!"
