Chapter 2879: Retreat from Yuánlǐng City
aordinary.>Although the Sky-faring warship was formidable, it had yet to reach the level of confronting a Yuan Ying ancestor. Compared to the hopes Lu Xia Tian had encountered before, it wasn't much....A feeling of relief washed over several powerful demon clan members. Although they had to abandon Yuanling City, which they had cultivated for thousands of years, and leave all the collected spiritual objects behind, it was a pain that Yue Du and others couldn't bear. At least their lives were saved. Compared to losing both people and wealth, this was already the best outcome.
Given the opponent's ruthless methods, using silver hooks and eagle kings to take lives, this great demon cultivator clearly wasn't someone to trifle with. If angered, with their immense divine powers, slaughtering the entire city and exterminating all demonic tribes within Yuanling City would be child's play. No one could escape then. It's best to leave the city as soon as possible while they haven't shown murderous intent yet.
"Tell Yu Zi Mo and the others to come to Yuan Ling City." Lu Xiao Tian said to Dong Feng.
“Yes, sir!” Dong Feng nodded. Over the years, Chiyue Desert and Yu Zi Mo had been in constant communication. It was just that the journey was far, and after the last time He Hu brought a few Chimu sheep demons to the chaotic demon domain and there were casualties, Yu Zi Mo could no longer send anyone over due to limited strength.
After all, the journey will pass through some demon tribes' lands, and the chaotic Demon Realm is even more perilous. Even a merged cultivator might not be able to reach safely, let alone someone like Yu Zi Mo who has just ascended to the Shenxu level.
Lu XiaTian has spent most of these years either in seclusion cultivating or running around tirelessly. Until now, if it wasn't for the need to rescue Xiang Qingcheng and others, he wouldn't have had time to return to this place where he first arrived.
Under the flying boat, the demon army, under the orders of several merged cultivators in Yue Du, began to withdraw from Yuanling City in an orderly manner. Some lower-level demon cultivators didn't even understand what was happening. As for the several merged demon cultivators in Yue Du, their minds were restless at this time. If they weren't still restraining various demon tribes, these old men would have left Yuanling City long ago and gone as far as possible. They wouldn't bother to explain to those ants at the bottom level.
As the flying boat approached the former Danfang, Fei Zhou, Dong Feng, Wu Xiu-li, Luo Ping'er, and Yun Xiaoqi all felt a sense of novelty. Hong Yue, back in familiar territory, had a strange gleam in her eyes. While the Crimson Moon Desert was good, it seemed to lack a certain warmth compared to this place.
Back then, her cultivation and understanding of alchemy here were far inferior to what they are now. However, she was busy and fulfilled every day receiving Alchemy experience from Lu Xiaitian's transmission. Deep down, Hongyue still preferred Yuanshen City. Although Chiyue Desert was good, being in the chaotic demon domain always made her feel that it had a few more points of aggression compared to Yuanshen City back then.
Lu Xia Tian returned to his old stomping grounds, with a bittersweet feeling in his heart. Luo Ping'er was full of excitement, pulling Hong Yue and asking about the situation when they were refining pills back then.
Lu Xiaitian's deployment in Yuanling City benefited the most those who were captured by the demon clans as slaves. With the departure of the demons, all the slaves were released and regained their freedom. They walked the streets, staring blankly at the unfamiliar scene before them. They did not see a large number of human cultivators entering Yuanling City, nor any traces of battle. Instead, various demon clans were orderly withdrawing from Yuanling City through each city gate.
Could it be that these demon cultivator's brains are broken They finally took down Yuanling City after a great deal of effort, and spent nearly three thousand years cultivating it, yet they just handed it over like this and withdrew directly Even if they saw it with their own eyes, for these people who had regained their freedom, it still felt like a dream. They couldn't even imagine such a thing happening in their dreams.
Coming to one's senses, such an incredible thing was happening right before their eyes.

Though the demonic race had released them and retreated from Yuánlíng City, they gave no indication of what had transpired. Most low-level demon cultivators were still in the dark about what had occurred.
Thus, these freed human cultivators roamed the Spirit Origin City like ghosts. A large number of demon cultivators had withdrawn from the city, and in their confusion, these newly freed human cultivators wouldn't venture outside either. Tens of thousands of human cultivators wandered through the deserted streets of Spirit Origin City, all seeing confusion and bewilderment in each other's eyes.
Not until a group of Fire Tiger Clan cultivators broke through the air from afar did things take a turn. Leading them was Yue Du, who had returned. At this moment, Yue Du’s heart was even more uneasy. If it weren't for Yue Yu’s insistence, he really wouldn’t have gone back. He had seen Lu Xia Tian and his party enter the courtyard that Yue Yu had kept intact all along.
Tens of thousands of freed slaves within the city saw a team of fire tiger clan members go back and forth, their hearts skipping a beat. They subconsciously thought that the demon clan would not be so kind after all. However, under the watchful eyes of some cultivators, Yue Du and his team of fire tiger clan members did not show hostility. Instead, they went past them and hurried towards the location where Lu Xiaotian had opened his pill shop back then.

"Since you're here, come in." Lu Xia Tian was currently sitting by the stone table at the courtyard. He had already known when Yue Yu led a group of Fire Tiger Clan members into Yuan Ling City.

“Lu, Senior Lu…” Yueyu strode in and saw Lu Xia Tian, she was also taken aback. She immediately bowed to salute him. Although the two had known each other since their humble beginnings and even developed some friendship afterwards, after all, it had been nearly three thousand years. Lu Xia Tian was no longer comparable to what he used to be; a stomp of his foot could shake this world.
"My old friends all called me 'Sir,' you can call me that too." Lu Xia Tian shook his head. "It's been many years, come sit down."
Lu Xia Tian introduced Luo Ping'er and Hong Yue to Yue Yu separately.
“Yue Yu, you needn’t be so formal. We owe much to your care of this little courtyard. Otherwise, when we returned to Yuan Ling City, we wouldn’t even have a place to stay.” Luo Ping’er pulled Yue Yu down and said warmly.
“When I first settled in Yuanling City, I heard that this was Master Lu’s alchemy place. I thought it would be a waste for ordinary demon clans to live here, so I arranged for people to occupy this small courtyard and have someone clean it regularly. Compared to the care Master Lu gave me back then, it’s nothing.”
When Yue Yu heard this, she smiled and no longer hesitated. She then told Luo Ping'er and Hong Yue about her encounter with Lu Xia Tian in the past.
Yue Du glanced at Yue Yu, this junior who seemed to be getting along quite well with Lu Xia Tian. He was surprised and relieved. Such a terrifying Mahayana cultivator, whether human or demon, would be a great asset to have a relationship with. However, Yue Du was also worried. Lu Xia Tian had killed the Silver Hook Eagle King, and the Silver Hook Eagle King's master was rumored to be a Mahayana demonic cultivator as well. He hoped that the Fire Tiger clan wouldn't get caught in the middle and suffer.
However, this situation should not exist. To begin with, it is usually difficult for Mahayana cultivators to have disputes. Besides, according to Yu Yu's words, Yu also understood who the visitor was. It was none other than the number one human cultivator who had become famous in recent years. Needless to say that he was the master of Yin Gou Ying Wang, but based on Lu Xia Tian's consecutive victories and resounding reputation, even if Yin Gou Ying Wang's master gathered several fellow cultivators to join forces, it might not be a match for Lu Xia Tian.
