Chapter 526: Chapter 340: Heart Towards the Light (4)

"Just move your people and supplies into the territory. After one hour, your Teleport Point will change to this location.

"I will teleport you all now. Please don’t panic..."

Zhao Chi felt a gust of wind blow past.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in Stream Village.

Everyone was standing on the road in the center of Stream Village.

At this moment, Stream Village was awash in a pale blue light.

Looking up, he saw a giant, transparent, semi-circular protective dome in the sky.

The entire Stream Village was enveloped by it.

The midday sun shone on the protective dome, refracting blue light onto the ground.

Su Qin was still hugging Zhao Chi tightly, her fair cheeks also tinted blue.

Although the blue hue was beautiful, its pervasiveness gave everything an eerie feeling.

The Clan Leaders and elders of several families were giving instructions.

"Everyone, hurry back and pack. Move all supplies and personnel into the territory."

"Don’t leave the blue-lit area."

"Report in the group chat once you’ve finished transferring."

"Don’t waste any time. The Alien Race could return for revenge at any moment."

"Alright, everyone hurry back and pack."

At that, all the Lords sprang into action.

Su Qin let go of his arm.

"Zhao Chi, I’m going to move my supplies. I also have some money hidden away that I need to go get."

"Okay, go on. You don’t need to come find me later, just teleport straight back to the territory."

"Mm, got it."

Su Qin immediately ran off.

Zhao Chi, however, walked back at a leisurely pace.

Zhao Chi had two buildings: a small Wooden House he had lived in for over two years, and a warehouse that had just recently been assigned to him.

There was nothing he needed to take from either place. All his supplies were hidden in Penglai Village.

He strolled slowly through the village, taking his time, looking at the place where he had lived for two years.

Stream Village wasn’t his true home, but it was his home in this world, and he still felt some attachment to it.

’I might not be able to come back for a long time. By the time I do, this place might be completely changed. I want to take a longer look.’

He walked into the Wooden House.

The furnishings inside were simple. The only thing worth taking was the Sewing Table.

He walked into the warehouse.

There was even less to take from here; only the Refining Workbench was worth bringing.

There was nothing else.

At most, there were the precious memories from the past two years, and those were best kept in his mind.

An hour passed quickly.

All the Lords returned to Jiaoya Town.

General Yan Ling and the captains were in a meeting with other resistance forces and did not appear.

Yuan Chen was the one to receive them.

He assigned everyone to an area in the southwest part of Jiaoya Town, organized by family.

There were many vacant houses here.

Everyone could occupy them as they wished.

However, the houses were limited, unlike in Stream Village.

Since Su Qin was now Zhao Chi’s concubine, they were only assigned one house.

Not only did Su Qin not mind, she was actually very happy.

"This is great, Zhao Chi! I think it’s perfect. Let’s live together."

Zhao Chi nodded. "I don’t have any objections either, but this can only be a temporary residence. We’ll mainly be living in the territory."

Su Qin smiled. "Mm, temporary is fine. We’re a family now, after all."

Their house was on the southwestern edge, with the city wall to the south and a cliff to the west.

The house was a 30-square-meter stone house partitioned into three rooms. None of them were particularly spacious, but neither Zhao Chi nor Su Qin minded.

The houses of the other Zhao Family members were nearby, so each family had its own area.

Except now, these places didn’t belong to them but to the World-breaking Army. They were merely permitted to live here.

It wasn’t just them; it was the same for everyone, including the members of the World-breaking Army.

「That night.」

The members of the World-breaking Army held a victory banquet, which also served as a welcome dinner for the New Lords.

Yan Ling and the others took turns saying a few words of blessing.

It was clear that they were all thrilled about completely annihilating an Alien Race squadron today.

Zhao Chi and the trainees from Class 4 sat at a small table in the corner.

Yang Xiong brought over two more jugs of wine.

"Zhao Chi, hurry up and drink! What, you can’t handle it after six glasses? Quit your act."

Zhao Chi said helplessly, "Let’s not just drink. We should talk more. There’s plenty of time for drinking."

Yang Xiong said, "You’ve got it backward. There’s plenty of time for talking—we can even chat using the system—but not for drinking. Drink up!"

With that, he clinked his cup against Zhao Chi’s and drained it in one gulp.

Zhao Chi sighed and drank his cup dry as well.

Yang Xiong refilled it again.

Lu Yi advised, "Yang Xiong, you could drink a little slower. Zhao Chi’s Constitution is relatively poor; he definitely can’t outdrink you."

Yang Xiong laughed. "Zhao Chi’s Constitution has already increased to 5. Did you still think it was 4? Haha."

Lu Yi said, "Your Constitution is 7, which is still much stronger than his. Zhao Chi is right, we really should talk more today."

Cao Feng huffed, "Zhao Chi, is your Constitution still 5? So pathetic? Even I’m at 6. You’re a total noob!"

Cao Feng unexpectedly extended his cup as well.

Li Xun also held out his cup. "Together, together."

Wang Lie also reached out.

Zhao Chi smiled, clinked their cups, and drained his.

Zhao Chi’s current Constitution was 10. If he really let loose, he could drink all of them under the table.

But he really wanted to understand the situation sooner rather than later.

A few more cups went down.

Only then did everyone start to talk more.

Lu Yi sighed. "Back then, a large group of us spectators were trapped in the Virtual Arena. At first, we fell into the hands of the Celestial King Army. But then the World-breaking Army arrived. They took a portion of the prisoners, and Cao Feng and I were lucky enough to go with the World-breaking Army."

Cao Feng nodded. "Yeah, when we saw it was the Celestial King Army, we thought we were finished. Even if we survived, we’d have been put through hell, and our territories would have been lost for sure. It was truly a blessing in disguise."

Zhao Chi asked, "I remember Shi Juan was always with you back then, wasn’t she? Did she not come to the World-breaking Army?"

The moment Shi Juan’s name was mentioned, the entire table fell silent.

Yang Xiong’s and Lu Yi’s expressions stiffened. They both glanced at Cao Feng, intentionally or not.

Yang Xiong, who had been about to raise his cup to propose another toast, silently retracted his hand.

Lu Yi looked at Zhao Chi, then stared at Cao Feng.

Li Xun cleared his throat with a cough.

Wang Lie laughed and said, "Drink up, drink up."

Yang Xiong also raised his cup. "Come on, Zhao Chi, Cao Feng, drink!"
