Can't You Even Give Me Face?

[You've long heard of Vermilion Purple Star's great name.]

She is the largest First-Class Star in this Southern Star Realm.

[This "largest" refers not only to its size, but also to the abundance of its vegetation.]

[Most races, most factions, largest faction size, richest resources, most secret treasures, etc.]

[You are preparing to leave Blaze Star to find a First-Class Star to cultivate and accelerate your cultivation progress.]

[You've decided to help Shen Yifeng by taking the child with you.]

[Others would find it a burden to bring young children when fleeing, but you are not.]

[Because... "Zilong! Zilong!"]

[This is giving myself a buff, like a red-tier support!]

[A Light Speed Fist with 100 times the power?]

[You can't even imagine how many Alien Race one punch could pierce through!]

"Elder Chen, are you truly willing to go through this?"

["To be honest, my Immortal Root are not high, and the environment of Second-Class Star is already hindering my cultivation. I already plan to go to First-Class Star, so I'll just consider this task as something I can do on the side..."]

[Before you could finish speaking, Shen Yifeng and Ma Bang were already kneeling on either side of you. You should immediately go and help them up.]

"Why bother? I am also Human Race. Even if I haven't joined the Kindling Society, it's only right that I do something."

"You can't say that! This is a matter of life and death!"

The Great Sects across Blaze Star are now hunting down this child. The mark on his hand cannot be concealed. If you are willing to carry him with you, you are making an enemy of the entire Blaze Star!

"You deserve our bow!"

[You tried it.]

[That's true!]

[The characters for "sun" and "moon" on this child's palm, no matter how you try to cover them up, will always show through the skin.]

Even if you can cover up the luster with layers of clothing, once your palm is exposed to the air, it will inevitably be noticed.

[No wonder everyone in the Blaze Star Kindling Society was killed.]

Wherever this child goes, it's like marking a location for the enemy!

[But you also know why the Kindling Society protected him at all costs, and why the Alien Race relentlessly pursued him.]

[This is an SSR card drawn by Human Race!]

[You helped the two of them up and said, "This journey is fraught with danger, and I can't guarantee success, but I will do my best to ensure that at least this child doesn't die before me."]

[Ma Bang's eyes were filled with tears.]

"The Firewood Sect won't let the Sixth Elder fight alone. We will all be your reinforcements, at your beck and call!"

Hearing him say that, you couldn't help but think of the Righteous Army of the Fortune Star.

[It's happening again.]

[A group of people protect you as you leave alone.]

[Thinking of the horrific deaths of the Righteous Army clinging to the Star Boat, you shook your head.]

"This time, let me go alone."

[Don't explain further, just tell Ma Bang to help pack some necessities for the child and set off immediately.]

[You've figured this place is no longer safe; you need to leave quickly.]

[Even though you were decisive enough.]

[However, at the crack of dawn, hundreds of reconnaissance teams from the Heavenly Sha Sect, along with several thousand Dragon Person Race, still managed to infiltrate Firewood Town.]

They set up a perimeter security network, so they could detect anyone entering or leaving.

[Then they searched each house for young children, checking their palms.]

"Quickly! Search! Dig three feet into the ground and find the prisoner! Remember! He must be alive! Forget knocking, just barge in!"

["A two-and-a-half-year-old boy has the characters for 'sun' and 'moon' on his palm! He dares to hide this! His entire family will be executed!"]

"Hand over the prisoner! Treat him leniently!"

[On the streets, the sounds of footsteps and shouts were deafening, while countless Dragon Person flapped their wings in the sky.]

The townspeople were driven into the streets, helplessly watching their homes ransacked by the Dragon Person.

Although the Heavenly Sha Sect is one of the three largest sects on this planet, the quality of its members working on the front lines is uneven, especially when dealing with Human Race.

[Some people took advantage of the situation to loot and plunder, exploiting the people.]

[Some people resort to violence to vent their anger, even resulting in deaths.]

[There were also those who committed grotesque acts, targeting Human Race women in scenes that were utterly disgusting.]

On the street, people stared angrily at the robbers and thugs.

[But there was no other way but to swallow my anger.]

Someone stepped forward.

[Granny He, the oldest person in Firewood Town.]

She is already ninety years old.

[It's unimaginable how difficult it is for a mortal, especially Human Race, to live to ninety in such a world; one can only imagine how many hardships and trials she must have endured to survive to this day.]

[Granny He's back was hunched over to nearly ninety degrees; leaning on a cane, she staggered towards the Alien Race.]

"You kill our people, steal our food, and refuse to let us cultivate!"

We can tolerate it!

Why are they even targeting a child under three years old, making such a big fuss about capturing him!

He's so young, he can't even speak yet, what could he possibly have done wrong? What crime could he possibly have committed?

The Dragon Person Race scout captain glanced at Granny He.

"Where did this old hag come from? Get out of here!"

[With a flap of its fleshy wings, it was about to sweep towards Granny He.]

Seeing this, the surrounding residents couldn't bear it and closed their eyes.

[Some indignant people also rushed over, wanting to protect Granny He.]

How can the speed of mortals and Cultivator compare?

[The Dragon Person's fleshy wings were still gripped by an old hand, unable to be pressed down even slightly.]

"Um, Dragon Person, could you please spare this old lady this time, for the sake of this old man? She's over ninety years old."

The person who arrived was Shen Yifeng.

["Hmph! Over ninety years old? I'm over five hundred! What are you trying to prove with me? Who are you, old man? Why should I give you face!"]

"I am Shen Yifeng, the founder of the Firewood Sect."

"Never heard of her! This old woman is spreading heresy and misleading people. I'm going to enforce the law on the spot! I won't give face to anyone!"

[Just as he was about to continue his attack, a dignified voice came from behind Shen Yifeng.]

"Aren't you even going to give me face?"

[You walk slowly towards us, hands behind your back, exuding an aura of power and authority.]

[However, in the eyes of this reconnaissance captain at the Core Formation Realm, he sensed through his Qi Sensing that your cultivation level was the same as his— at the Core Formation Realm.]

[We're both at the Core Formation Realm, what's with the showing off?]

"What kind of nobody wants me to give them face? I'm a captain Muhaha, no less!"

[Muhaha raised its fleshy wing, dark light gathering on it, and slammed it down.]

You strode forward, pulled Shen Yifeng aside, and raised one hand.

[Silently, your hand, like the sharpest knife in the world, easily severed one of Muhaha's fleshy wings.]

[Then, you clench your fist into a claw, reach forward, and rip out Muhaha's heart!]

This operation is all too familiar.

[The surrounding Dragon Person Race recognized you immediately.]

"It's him! The Mysterious Figure destroyed the Sect Master's physical body!"
