Chapter 68: I Am Here

Chapter 68: Chapter 68: I Am Here

Over here, the group of women looked at their Alliance Leader, completely baffled.

’Why has she called all of us here?!’

Yin Weimeng looked at them, her red lips parting slightly. "Our Hundred Flowers Alliance’s Vice Alliance Leader, Dongfang Ruoyu, is coming back."

Oh?

The Vice Alliance Leader is coming back?!

No wonder!

That’s why she gathered all of us!

Then, Yin Weimeng spoke again.

"This time, it’s not just the Vice Alliance Leader who is returning! There’s also someone who can cure the chronic poison we’re afflicted with!"

An uproar!

The statement was simply staggering!

Everyone’s eyes went wide, scarcely believing what they had just heard.

They were so stunned they felt numb.

But a moment later, as the reality sank in, they were ecstatic.

After all, this was tremendous news for them.

The pain from the poison had already started to manifest.

And they had heard about the Alliance Leader’s condition—at night, the pain was so unbearable she wished for death.

But in this post-apocalyptic world,

between power and pain, they had resolutely chosen power!

So they had already mentally prepared themselves for a future of agony.

But now, the Vice Alliance Leader was bringing back such a Divine Being!

This is wonderful!

This is absolutely wonderful!

"Alright, all of you go back and get ready. When the time comes, we will go to the city gate to welcome them!"

As Yin Weimeng spoke, the others also understood the importance of this reception.

They all went back to prepare, planning to change into their finest clothes for the occasion.

They also touched up their makeup.

「Meanwhile.」

Within the Yingtian Barrier, the other families had also been gathered together.

Every one of them wore a solemn expression.

Yet, it seemed to be tinged with hope and excitement.

"You’ve all heard the stories about this Lord Ye by now, haven’t you!" the leading Patriarch said, then quickly added, "I have a friend in the Cyan Flower Barrier who told me this. It’s absolutely true!"

"When an expert of this caliber comes to our barrier, we are obligated to give him a proper reception!"

"Furthermore, I’ve heard that the major families in the Cyan Flower Barrier hold him in the highest esteem!"

"Tsk, tsk! It’s almost unimaginable!"

After these few words, everyone knew what they had to do.

Soon after, the meeting ended, and everyone began making their own preparations.

One Patriarch returned to his home.

He immediately started shouting for his wife to find him some clothes.

He was in a great hurry.

"What’s going on? Why are you in such a rush?!"

His wife didn’t understand.

Usually, he was always so methodical and unhurried.

She had never seen her husband act like this before!

"Hurry up!" the Patriarch said irritably, then added, "A Diamond Tier expert is coming to our barrier! I have to rush to welcome him!"

What?!

Diamond Tier!

That’s a true powerhouse!

At this, she too began to panic.

She quickly found her husband’s best clothes and helped him change.

「About an hour later.」

A large group of Patriarchs had gathered at the barrier’s city gate.

Their mounts, all Golden Tier Exotic Beasts, were lined up.

They were arranged in a single, straight line.

The Patriarchs themselves stood respectfully in a row at the gate.

Gazing intently into the distance.

The spectacle couldn’t have been more grandiose.

The Mutants who were about to enter or leave the barrier saw this formation.

And were instantly dumbfounded.

’What the hell is this?!’

’What are all these Patriarchs doing?’

’Why are they blocking the gate?!’

The key thing was, every single one of these Patriarchs was a Late-Golden Stage Mutant!

Even if you gave small fries like them a hundred times the courage, they wouldn’t dare approach!

"Do you guys know what’s going on?"

"No idea!"

"It’s not like these Patriarchs would tell us about something like this!"

"From the looks of it, they seem to be waiting for someone!"

"Holy hell! What kind of person could make so many Patriarchs wait here like this?!"

"These Patriarchs are all powerful Late-Golden Stage Mutants. Don’t tell me... is an expert above the Diamond Tier coming?!"

...

The crowd murmured amongst themselves.

Then, they saw something in the distance.

Their attention was immediately captured.

A line of beauties!

Striding over from the distance on their long legs!

Each one elegantly dressed and made up.

As they walked, magnificent waves undulated!

What an eye-catching sight!

Such a group of beauties standing together!

It was simply dazzling!

After all, each of these beauties had her own unique charm.

Their temperaments were all different as well.

Looking at them, if these young men had to pick one to eliminate, they would surely be paralyzed by indecision.

On this side, the members of the Hundred Flowers Alliance also saw the formation before them.

’Why are so many Patriarchs at the city gate?’

The corners of their mouths twitched.

’They’re... completely blocking the gate?!’

’So when our Vice Alliance Leader and that Divine Being return in a bit...’

’What are we going to do?’

’Should we try to negotiate our way out?’

"Alliance Leader, from the way they’re positioned, it looks like they’re waiting for someone. But with them blocking the gate like this, we won’t be able to give our own welcome."

one of the women said.

The Alliance Leader looked ahead, her brow deeply furrowed.

After all, the person Ruoyu was bringing back was their savior; they couldn’t neglect the proper courtesies.

"Alliance Leader, why don’t we wait for a bit? Maybe they’ll receive their person before ours arrives?"

"Alliance Leader, I don’t think that will work. I just asked around. It seems these Patriarchs have already been here for quite some time!"

"But there’s no sign of them moving!"

The words reached Yin Weimeng’s ears.

She pondered for a moment, then immediately walked toward the Patriarchs in front.

’After all,’ she thought, ’this person cannot be slighted!’

She approached the group of Patriarchs.

"Gentlemen, could you please make way and let us pass?"

Yin Weimeng asked.

Immediately, a few of the Patriarchs glanced at her and then snorted coldly.

The Alliance Leader of the Hundred Flowers Alliance!

They recognized her, of course.

But they paid her no mind.

After all, the two sides were not in the same league at all.

The difference was too great!

Besides!

If they let her and her group pass, the other Mutants would follow suit.

And if that great lord arrived to see such a chaotic scene...

If he were to blame them for it...

who could bear the responsibility?!

"Can’t you see that everyone else is waiting?! Are you the only ones who can’t wait?"

"That’s right! Get back!"

"Wait patiently. Once we’ve received our guest, we will naturally leave!"

...

None of the Patriarchs showed Yin Weimeng any courtesy.

They just unleashed a verbal barrage on her.

Listening to them, Yin Weimeng clenched her fists, but then relaxed them and sighed.

’There’s nothing I can do.’

The difference in power was just too vast.

Now, she could only pray that the person they were waiting for would arrive before Ruoyu and the others.

With that thought, Yin Weimeng returned to her group.

Seeing Yin Weimeng get shut down, the others sighed as well.

This was the post-apocalyptic world: without strength, you would be bullied.

They waited for another long while.

The Patriarchs were growing tired of waiting.

But not a single one dared to complain.

Behind them, Yin Weimeng was growing more and more anxious.

But!

The next moment!

A clear, sharp cry echoed across the sky!

Reaching the ears of everyone present.
