Chapter 853 - The God Realm Appears (6)

“As long as he’s not here to cause trouble for Xiaoxiao.” That was all Tang Nazhi cared about.

Shen Yanxiao had a lot on her mind as her five friends continued chatting incessantly. She talked with them for a while, but before long, she hurried back to her room. And while doing so, she did not forget to call for Vermilion Bird.

“Xiu, do you know anything about the beast tide?” Shen Yanxiao asked with uncertainty. Everything that Xiu knew about the continent seemed to be from a long time ago. He did not even know about the existence of the Broken Star Palace that was created after the war between the gods and devils. So, Shen Yanxiao was not sure if Xiu knew about the beast tide.

“Are you referring to the demons’ attack on the city?” Xiu had his own term for demon beasts.

“More or less.”

“I know about it. What do you want to ask?”

Shen Yanxiao asked, “Do you think Sun Never Sets could withstand a demon beast attack?”

If she could not even withstand the beast tide with her sturdiest city, then she would have to wait until the beast tide ended before she could continue exploring the other cities.

“Of course,” Xiu said with certainty.

“What if the walls had no protection from the array and only obsidian, would it still be fine?” Shen Yanxiao asked.

However, Xiu’s answer made her speechless.

“It can be blocked, but it cannot be avoided.”

The answer was somewhat ambiguous. After all, the demons had never used obsidian to build their city walls. Who knew what would happen if the demon beasts attacked them?

Shen Yanxiao felt a little depressed. She had only just started to set up camp.

“You don’t have to worry too much. If the demon beasts do not have a general to command them, their attacks will never be centralized; they will just attack any city at random.” Xiu comforted Shen Yanxiao when he noticed that she was somewhat depressed.

“You’re right.” Shen Yanxiao felt that Xiu’s words made sense. Blizzard City had been too unlucky back then, even the cities adjacent to it were not even touched by the beast tide.

“Don’t worry. Instead of worrying about these uncertain matters, there is something that you should pay more attention to.”

“What is it?”

“The sage.”

The sage? Shen Yanxiao frowned. Why would Xiu mention the sage? Did he know why the sage had come to Sun Never Sets?

“What about the sage?”

Xiu was silent for a moment before he slowly said, “I have seen him before. Even though his aura is powerful, it is somewhat different from today. I could clearly sense his aura in the Lava Valley, but I did not detect any energy in his body just now. Even though his appearance had not changed, I am sure that they are not the same person.”

“Not... the same person?” Shen Yanxiao was stunned. When she met the sage again, she did not notice anything amiss with him. However, she trusted Xiu’s words the most. Xiu would never speak nonsense, and since he was willing to divulge this information to her, then he must have absolute confidence in his assessment.

Shen Yanxiao frowned. If he was not the real sage, who could he be?

Not everyone could impersonate an envoy from the God Realm. Moreover, the aura of those twenty envoys was the same as what she had experienced back when they visited the Vermilion Bird Family.

God envoys would not listen to any random person’s orders. Except for the sage, they would ignore everyone else’s orders.

They were only loyal to the sage.

“Even if he is not the sage, he should still be an important figure in the God Realm. I don’t care about him, as long as he does not provoke me.” That piece of news was rather shocking. Shen Yanxiao could not stretch the fact that the God Realm was an unfathomable place. She would try not to mess with them if she could.

At the end of the day, she had to protect herself.
