Chapter 2120 Escape From the Land of Sins!

“Escape from the Land of Sins!”

It was what all the resistance warriors had been dreaming about.

“Tell me about it. What is your situation right now?”

Li Yao beamed with interest, but he was somewhat stunned when he saw the Fist King’s abnormal look where the guy seemed to be growing two heads. “Fist King, what’s with your style? Where did you find such an advanced crystal processor core?”

“We did find the temple of the Cultivators or the control center of the global sword network.”

The Fist King said, “However, as you must’ve guessed, it was a trap set up by the Immortal Cultivators. Wei Longtao betrayed us and led abundant spiritual puppets of the Immortal Cultivators to surround us. Then, they played the battle picture outside of ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’ to make us vacillate.

“Many resistance warriors were caught in desperation. However, at the last moment, the streams all turned into the footage of your great sabotages. The Immortal Cultivators’ spiritual puppets were all paralyzed too.”

Li Yao nodded his head. The Immortal Cultivators’ spiritual puppets were under the direct control of “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky”. When he blew up the control center entirely, it was only natural that the spiritual puppets lost effect.

The Fist King continued, “The spiritual puppets were all paralyzed, and the Immortal Cultivators were all overwhelmed by the pictures of your invincible slaughters too. We immediately started to break out of the siege and had a huge battle inside the ‘temple’.

“Then, when the place was reduced to smithereens in the battle, I accidentally noticed the deeper structure of the so-called ‘temple’. The so-called ‘global sword network’ probably did exist before and even played a certain role in the Judgment War, where it dealt a heavy blow on the Immortal Cultivators. Later, after suffering destructive damages, it was buried below the ground.

“I couldn’t repair the global sword network, but I found the crystal processor core. It was a piece of rather advanced computational magical equipment and a great help to boost my computational ability.

“With the enhanced combat ability after my computation ability was improved, Zuo Jingyun, Xiahou Wuxin, and I led a batch of soldiers to break out of the siege. Wei Longtao and the other Immortal Cultivators were all sealed below the ground now and would not get out anytime soon.”

“Even if they can go out, there will be nothing they can do.”

Li Yao smiled. “Now, ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’ has completely collapsed. The Immortal Cultivators will not be able to block the sky again without a few months. At this moment, this world is a world that belongs to the sinners of the Land of Sins. If Wei Longtao and his Immortal Cultivators are bold enough to dig to the ground, what awaits them will be the ocean of wrath from the sinners. I’m afraid that their outcome will be more than miserable!”

“But this is not a place to stay in after all.”

The Fist King said, “If we sit here and do nothing, the place will be sealed by the Immortal Cultivators again sooner or later. We have to run away, whatever it takes!”

“Exactly.”

Li Yao said, “I was thinking the same. The fleet of the Immortal Cultivators is in chaos. Some of the starships of the coalition fleet of Starlight are still harassing them in space. This is the most precious timing for a successful escape. But I estimate that the hope of escape will significantly drop after each day or even after each hour. A few months later, when the Immortal Cultivators reestablish their order, a ghastly price will have to be paid if somebody wants to get away!

“Therefore, in no more than forty-eight hours, you have to find a starship that boasts the ability of space jump. You need to get out of here first!”

“Grandpa Yao—”

Han Te and Liu Li were rather anxious. “But what about the Village of Peace? What about our family and friends?”

“This is a war. Weakness and hesitation are not tolerated in a war.”

Looking at Han Te and Liu Li, Li Yao said solemnly, “Tell me, do you want to completely save the Village of Peace, your family and friends, and even the entire Land of Sins?”

Han Te and Liu Li looked at each other and nodded their heads heavily. “Of course!” historical

“In that case, you must get out of here first.”

Li Yao said, “You must’ve already realized what a vast place the universe is and how magnificent the Imperium of True Human Beings can be, right? Even if one ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’ is destroyed, the Imperium is still capable of reestablishing ten or a hundred of them! If you stay here because you are concerned about your family and your homeland, you will simply repeat your life of the past and struggle in desperation together with your family, ending up as experiment mice and puppets that do not have any hope at all!

“If you do not wish to continue such a tragic fate, to see the Martial Meritocrats Planet degenerate into ‘Land of Sins’ as before, or to repeat the slaughters and plunders that have been happening for hundreds of years, just run out first. Train yourselves and build yourselves up in the sea of stars, and create a real, powerful Starlight. I believe that you will return with thunder and fury someday and completely liberate the entire Land of Sins!”

His words made all the resistance warriors breathe fast.

It was quite right. In the past hundreds of years, the descendants of the resisters of Starlight were nothing more than rats hiding among the rocks here and there below the ground.

But a broken sky was right before their eyes. From this moment on, it was absolutely possible for them to roam the sea of stars and wake up the strength that had been sleeping for a thousand years!

“Can… Can we really be a member of Starlight? Can we be real warriors and real… Cultivators?”

Han Te and Liu Li asked in disbelief.

“Of course.”

Zuo Jingyun couldn’t help but smile, “You were very brave just now and among the few people who fought side by side with us. You are certainly qualified to be real members of Starlight!”

“Go now. If you really want to protect your homeland and save the Martial Meritocrats Sector, it is all the more important that you march to the sea of stars. The greater trouble you cause in space, the safer it will be in the Martial Meritocrats Sector. You may find the logic hard to understand for the time being, but believe me, it is absolutely correct!”

Li Yao declared resolutely, “I believe that even if Leader Gu Zhengyang were here, he would definitely second my choice too. Perhaps he is trying to gather resources to build a starship and break through the sky at exactly this moment!”

Han Te and Liu Li thought carefully for a moment, before they looked Li Yao in the eyes and confirmed again, “But we will definitely be back, right?”

“Yes.”

Li Yao smiled and extended his hand through the crammed crowd, holding the young man’s hand. He said warmly but firmly, “We will certainly be back. When we return to the Land of Sins, it will not be so simple as blowing up a tiny ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’.

“Do you still remember what I said?

“This world is wrong.

“So, when we return to the Land of Sins, we will rectify the entire world!”

Han Te and Liu Li took a deep, deep breath. Looking at each other, they nodded their heads determinedly. “Understood, Grandpa Yao. We will fight side by side with you, Master Fist King, and Sister Yun!”

Li Yao smiled and patted the young man’s hand. Then, he moved his eyes to the Fist King. “How are you planning to leave?”

“A lot of broken pieces of ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’ have been scattered at the coast area. We are planning to try our luck there and see if we can find remnants and fuel that are of use.”

The Fist King knocked his own head and said, “Don’t forget that I am a reasonably good refiner myself. With abundant remnants, it is absolutely possible for me to assemble a small starship or a space shuttle.

“As long as we have a small starship, a space shuttle, or a crystal suit, there will be hope for us to fly beyond the atmosphere and reach out to the space branch of Starlight. It will be even possible to take over one of the Immortal Cultivators’ starships and perform a space jump. This is about the original plan.”

“No, it is too risky.”

Li Yao shook his head. “Although the Immortal Cultivators are stuck in brief chaos, their main fleet did not suffer major damage despite the loss of ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’. It is impossible for you to take control over a warship easily.

“How about this. A lot of civil carriers were docked on the spaceports of ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’. They also boasted the ability of space jump. I estimate that the spaceports that were well-structured with anti-gravity facilities couldn’t have been all destroyed in the crash.

“I have detected the place where the main body of ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’ collapsed on my way here. I’ll give you a pair of coordinates. Let’s try our luck there and see if we can find an intact civil carrier.

“However, even if we can find a civil carrier, it will still be a major problem to find the crew members that are capable of piloting it. Forget it. Let’s just find one first.”

The earthly dragon shifted the direction and rushed toward the coordinates given by Li Yao.

At this moment, almost everybody on the Land of Sins was coming to the coast area in a hurry with all kinds of magical equipment. It was like the most lively “Bliss Ceremony”.

Some were working together to dig out the burning remnants from the ground. Some tough bandits whose nature could not be changed were fighting each other hard. Some were engaged with the Immortal Cultivators who escaped from “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky” in the fiercest battles.

Fire and smoke were everywhere. The entire coast area was now a battlefield. The situation couldn’t have been more chaotic.

However, faced with the gargantuan remnants that were as magnificent as mountains, as enormous as cities and as complicated as mazes, all the sinners of the Land of Sins felt the urge to worship them and forgot the competition among them for a while.

Even the smallest of the remnants were almost a hundred meters in diameter, as if they were an amalgamation of skyscrapers.

The largest of them were more than a thousand meters in diameter. They were like a city of the giants standing on the ground abruptly.

It could be clearly seen that the structure of a lot of remnants was rather intact. They were not torn apart by the brute force but were dismantled voluntarily under the control of the “forced landing program”, in order to minimize the blow of the crash.

Therefore, it was very possible that the persons, assets, and even the escape capsules and small starships inside were still kept intact.
