Chapter 102 : The Arrival of the Outlanders. An Ancient Beast Awakened.
With the sudden inclusion of the Power of Faith in the barren land, everything changes. The previous panic caused by the Blood Whisperer was thrown to the back of their minds.
Besides, it was not only the people who changed. Everything in the barren land had undergone drastic changes.
But the most notable difference was the sudden announcement of the Barren Land citizen registration.
The Celestial Heavenly Sect deployed a lot of their disciples with soldiers for the registration. Every gate had registration booths with thousands of soldiers putting everything in order.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were deployed to every corner of cities, towns, and villages for the registration to be completed in the shortest time frame.
While also, the new unit, the Police were unveiled. The Barren Land Police force was made up of weaker soldiers. However, with the sudden blessing of Faith Power, the lowest among them was at the peak of the bodybuilding realm.
Meanwhile, far from the Barren Land, another earthshaking change was going on. The fat Crystal Island chief was lying on the ground with panic written all over his face.
He looked at the proud young people sitting around him with his heart thumping as if it wanted to jump out of his chest. His confidant, the crook man, Niu, was among the young master and young miss with a flattering smile on his face.
"Young master, this ring is a wonder of the Celestial Heavenly Sect," Niu said to Liu Fu with his best smile while showing some of his missing teeth.
"What do you mean Celestial Heavenly Sect?" A young man named Haoyu asked with a slight frown on his face.
It was not only Haoyu who was surprised; everyone was surprised by the discovery of a sect in the barren land. Wang Baozhai looked at the deep frown on their faces and shook her head.
She had long known the Barren Land was no longer the usual barren land. Something was definitely going on in the Barren Land.
"Tell us more about this barren land," Liu Fu asked seriously.
Niu saw this as an opportunity to show his usefulness. Quickly, he narrated everything, mixing both truth and lies to make his narration more believable.
Listening to everything, the room turned silent as everyone was processing what they just heard. Shortly, Liu Fu said with a solemn voice, "Let's go to the barren land and destroy the so-called sect. We can't allow it..." He stood with his face full of solemnness.
Everyone nodded. They knew they couldn't allow the existence of the sect to remain in the Lotus world. Apart from that, everyone had a selfish motive to destroy the sect: the Spirit Comms.
Even though they hadn't tested the abilities of the Spirit Comms since there was only two Spirit Comms on the Island, one with Wang Baozhai and the other with Liu Fu, which he received from Niu.
But the two couldn't use it since they had already been bound to their previous owner. Therefore, they couldn't wait to get their hands on the Spirit Comms.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Standing behind Wang Baozhai was the ordinary old man. "Do you think this is a good idea?" He whispered.
"I don't know. But we can't stay back while they go to the barren land. Who knows..." She responded with a cunning smile.
Seeing this, the old man nodded, realizing what Wang Baozhai was planning to do.
Quickly, tens of ships sailed toward the Barren Land. Their massive formation was enough to intimidate anyone.
As the ships sailed away from the Crystal Island, a massive fish beast raised its head from the sea and looked in the direction of the ship before ducking its head back into the water.
Inside the sect, Su Yen received a message from the Mountain Sea Turtle. "Many outlanders are coming."
Reading the message, Su Yen didn't have any change in his expression. With the current strength of the Barren Land, it was strong enough to defend itself.
Nevertheless, he still sent the message to Su Ming and Huang Yin.
"Brother, I did it," Su Lan's excited voice came from outside his courtyard as she rushed in.
"Did what?" He asked with a creased brow.
"Look," she showed him a blue pill.
Su Yen took the pill from her palm and examined it for a couple of seconds with a slight shock on his face. "Wow! Its purity is close to seventy percent," he exclaimed, looking at her with a slight shock on his face.
"Yeah, I know, right? I never expected to get an epiphany. Now, I should be able to create a grade-1 pill with purity close to seventy percent."
"Good. What is the name of this pill?" He asked.
"Detoxification Pill," she responded proudly.
"Good. Well done," he praised.
"Thank you," she nodded like a little girl and rushed out of his courtyard.
To others, Su Yen looked like the elder brother and Su Lan was the younger sister.
That's the Su clan; they didn't care about the difference between brother and sister as long as you have the ability to be respected. You will be respected.
"We just need a little more time to be able to withstand any storm that comes our way..." He thought and looked at the sky. "You just wait. We're almost there."
In the Southern Barren Land, Huang clan and the Celestial Heavenly Sect were already waiting for the arrival of the outlanders.
Su Bolin, Huang Guo, and Huang Ruo stood inside the highest building near the seaport.
"What do you think they are here for?" Huang Rou asked with a slight anticipation on her face.
"To kill us," Huang Guo replied as a matter of fact not looking at her niece. He fought in the previous sea battle.
If the Celestial Heavenly sect soldiers weren't strong enough, perhaps, they would be in the shackles of the Crimson Jade Pavilion.
"They are here," Su Bolin said suddenly.
In the distance, they saw tens of powerful ships sailing toward the seaport with proud young people on the bow of the ship.
"Put the city on lockdown. No outlander must enter the city," Su Bolin said with a solemn expression.
As they were expecting the outlanders to dock their ship, a massive beast woke up from its deep slumber in the deepest part of the Dreadshade forest.
Its massive orb eyes looked in the direction of the Celestial Heavenly Sect, and a deep frown like a human appeared on its face.
"Why would my race allow the power of faith in the world?" It thought with its face turning unsightly.
"I must destroy it immediately."
