Chapter 69: A Drastic Change in Attitude

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: A Drastic Change in Attitude

In this post-apocalyptic world!

The shriek immediately put everyone on high alert!

Instantly!

They looked toward the distant sky!

Then they saw a great bird tearing through the air toward them!

Their eyes went wide, scarcely believing what they were seeing!

What Tier of Exotic Beast was this?!

Its form!

Its sheer size!

Its speed!

This was definitely an Exotic Beast above the Mid-Golden Stage!

And!

Flying Exotic Beasts were a far greater threat than those on the ground!

The fortified barriers were completely useless against them!

They could fly right over the top of the barriers!

And enter the settlement within!

Moreover, Mutants like them had no way to deal with such a creature!

After all, no matter how physically powerful a Mutant was, they couldn’t jump that high.

In this post-apocalyptic world, there weren’t many flying Exotic Beasts!

But every single one posed a massive threat!

Especially one as powerful as this. The threat was even greater!

"Get ready!"

"Everyone, on your guard!"

...

Seeing the situation, the several Patriarchs quickly made their arrangements!

As the strongest people here,

they naturally had to bear the responsibility of fending off this flying Exotic Beast!

Behind them, Yin Weimeng’s body tensed in an instant!

She couldn’t have been more nervous!

The female members behind her were the same!

All of them stood in grim readiness!

None of them knew what the flying Exotic Beast’s next move would be!

Nor did they know what kind of disaster this Exotic Beast would bring to the Yingtian Barrier!

Atop the city walls!

The sound of war drums had even begun to thunder!

The entire barrier grew tense!

But!

Gradually, everyone began to feel that something was off!

This Exotic Beast?

’It doesn’t look like it’s preparing to attack.’

Instead, it was descending!

Coming right for them!

Its speed was slowly decreasing!

On the city walls!

When the Roc drew level with the walls.

The guards on the walls stared, their eyes widening in disbelief at what they were seeing!

They gasped sharply!

The hairs on their bodies stood on end!

This!

What was this?!

On top of this giant bird!

There were actually people sitting there!

"There are people on the giant bird!"

That one sentence!

Carried down from the city walls and into the ears of the crowd below!

It took them a moment to process it.

’People on the giant bird?’

’What does that mean?’

"That Lord has arrived!"

Those words snapped the Patriarchs back to their senses!

’That’s right!’

’Who else could use an Exotic Beast like this as a mount?!’

They immediately got ready!

Behind them.

Seeing the situation improve, the members of the Hundred Flowers Alliance and the other Mutants, though still confused, were no longer so tense.

They all looked toward the descending Roc.

Then, the Roc landed!

In an instant, sand and stones flew everywhere!

A massive cloud of dust was kicked up!

After it settled!

Ye Yunyi, Dongfang Ruoyu, and the others dismounted from the bird’s back!

Over here, the Patriarchs saw this and their hearts skipped a beat!

The Roc was already enormous in the air!

But now, right before their eyes, as it folded its wings, they truly felt its immense size!

’To be able to use such an Exotic Beast as a mount.’

’He’s truly worthy of being an expert with such legendary deeds!’

So they thought, but it didn’t stop them from plastering smiles on their faces.

They then hurried forward!

"You must be Lord Ye from the Cyan Flower Barrier, correct?!"

His words made Ye Yunyi look at them, a trace of doubt in his mind.

’How do these people know my itinerary!’

Then, he recalled the few Patriarchs who had visited his manor before. They must have been in contact and spread the news of his arrival.

’But it’s not a big deal.’

He looked ahead.

All the Patriarchs had gathered around, their faces filled with extreme enthusiasm!

"I am Ye Yunyi!"

After Ye Yunyi spoke, the smiles on the Patriarchs’ faces grew even wider!

"Lord Ye! We’ve been waiting here to welcome you for a long time!"

"You must be tired from your journey!"

"Shall we find a place to sit down? To rest for a bit?"

...

One after another, the Patriarchs scrambled to speak, each wanting to make an impression on Ye Yunyi!

Then, they also noticed the young women Ye Yunyi had brought with him.

"Lord Ye, you’ve brought your family with you?"

"We will arrange accommodations for you!"

...

As the Patriarchs spoke, the members of the Hundred Flowers Alliance watched from behind.

Yin Weimeng stared ahead, completely stunned!

’The one following behind Ye Yunyi!’

’Isn’t that my Junior Sister, Dongfang Ruoyu?!’

’What... what is the meaning of this?!’

’The person my Junior Sister brought back... is him?!’

’The expert being welcomed by all these Patriarchs?!’

For a moment, she didn’t know what to do.

She just stood there, dazed.

At the front, the Patriarchs began to lead Ye Yunyi inside.

Then they saw the people from the Hundred Flowers Alliance still blocking the way behind them.

Instantly, their expressions turned hostile.

’These people from the Hundred Flowers Alliance have no sense at all!’

’Damn it!’

’How dare they stand there blocking Lord Ye’s path!’

’If they make Lord Ye unhappy, who could bear the consequences?!’

They were about to open their mouths!

To tell them to get out of the way!

But in the next moment!

Dongfang Ruoyu looked at Yin Weimeng and called out, "Senior Sister!"

’Senior Sister?!’

The Patriarchs all froze!

Their gazes trembling, they saw Dongfang Ruoyu, from behind Ye Yunyi, walk up to Yin Weimeng. "Senior Sister, I brought him back. He can cure the poison in our bodies!"

Then, Dongfang Ruoyu turned her gaze to Ye Yunyi.

Ye Yunyi also looked over at the members of the Hundred Flowers Alliance!

’I really made the right choice coming here this time!’ he mused.

’Holy crap!’

’They all have different figures!’

’But any one of them would be considered a great beauty!’

’I have to say!’

’The Hundred Flowers Alliance’s aesthetic standards for recruitment are really on point!’

In that instant, the Patriarchs finally understood why Ye Yunyi had suddenly come to their barrier!

’So he came at the invitation of the Hundred Flowers Alliance!’

’In that case, their previous attitude toward Yin Weimeng...’

Then, plastering smiles on their faces, they walked toward Yin Weimeng!

"Alliance Leader Yin, you... you didn’t tell us beforehand that Lord Ye was coming because of you!"

"We must cooperate well in the future! I remember your Hundred Flowers Alliance likes Mutant Flowers! I have some back at my place!" the Patriarch said, then glanced at one of his clan members.

That person instantly understood and hurried back to prepare them!

The others also approached Yin Weimeng, all with sycophantic smiles.

They showered her with pleasantries.

Yin Weimeng: "..."

’I have to admit, these people are too good at acting!’

’It’s almost as if it were real!’

If she hadn’t been yelled at and ordered around by them just moments before, she might have actually believed them!

But now, she knew the reason for the Patriarchs’ change in attitude!

It was all because of Ye Yunyi, who was standing right there!

With that, she walked toward Ye Yunyi!

Arriving in front of him, she extended a hand. "Lord Ye, hello!"

Ye Yunyi shook Yin Weimeng’s hand. ’This feeling...’

’As soft as if it had no bones!’
