A Journey Against the World
Chapter 180

At a glance, the Xuilin kingdom had already been destroyed by the war soldiers from the Upper world. Blood and corpses were strewn almost all over the Xuilin kingdom's land. Most of the victims of the bloody war were men.

This crushing blow had never happened before, and this was the first time the Xuilin kingdom was on the verge of its might. The royal land that was once crowded, now deserted like uninhabited. Residential buildings no longer stand strong, other than the smoke that looks clumped everywhere.

Not far from the Xuilin Kingdom. Two men along with several small troops observed the condition of the Xuilin kingdom from ignorance. Seemed a little surprised to see the conditions there were no longer as good as they thought. They had indeed expected the Xuilin kingdom to be destroyed, but had expected it to be this destructive. It seems that the warriors of the Upper world war are indeed unmitigated to ruin everything.

"How now?" ask the blue-haired youth of the night. He looked at the young man he knew as his brother.

"Find the rest of the survivors. I'm sure some of them have escaped" replied the orange-eyed young man.

"I don't want to expect high. Because I'm sure some of the survivors are just a few, '" said the blue-haired young man of the night.

"No problem, our job is only to help, right? It's his wish."

The blue-haired youth of the night shuddered, indifferently. Then he turned to look at one army of 200 people. It's a little but their strength, don't underestimate it. Because this army is the 3rd elite army that belongs to the kingdom of Pheonix.

"You hear what he said? Find a human who is still safe. Maybe they are hiding somewhere. And I'm sure it's not far from that kingdom."

"Ready, go!"

The winged human troops split up into 4 armies that went in 4 different directions. Intentionally dispersed in order to more quickly find the location of human hiding points that escape from looting.

Now there are two young men who are the leaders of the small army.

"You know, Tsakuya. This is my first time helping a human being" said the orange-eyed young man.

Tsakuya, the name of the other young man nodded slowly. "I know without you needing to tell me. Your uncaring attitude towards humans is ingrained, who does not know that? But, now? Ckckck .. I'm sure the people of Pheonix's kingdom know. They will be shocked to die" Tsakuya replied in a soft tone.

He smiled cynically, either laughing at himself or laughing at Tsakuya's words. "You're right. If it wasn't for his request, I probably would never have done this."

"Hem. What if we go to that little kingdom? Maybe there's still some survivors?" Tsakuya gave a suggestion. While the one he invited seemed to be thinking about his sister's invitation.

"It doesn't seem to hurt if we check it out. Let's do it."

***

"Wiuh .. badly damaged." Tsakuya shook her head to see the damage to the Xuilin city's housing was completely irreparable. After setting foot onto the ground of this uninhabited city, all they saw was the severe damage from the heartless looting.

"You talk a lot more than usual. Do you realize that?" sahut Zusami began to be disturbed by Tsakuya's chattering that continued to comment. In fact, Tsakuya is indeed more talkative than usual which is always economical. Even Zusami used to think that Tsakuya was stuttering in speech from birth.

"You can change, why can't I?" reply Tsakuya lightly with a glance at the eye. The furious reply left Zusami speechless after an annoyed grunt.

The two of them continued to walk leisurely, passing through every waking that was no longer sturdy. As usual Tsakuya continued to rummage, whether it said the damage he saw or some human corpses scattered on the ground with conditions no longer intact. The looting of the warriors of the Upper world war was truly devastating, whereas they did not need to be that sadistic in ordinary humans who were not Cultivators. According to Tsakuya they are too wasteful of energy.

"Enmm ...."

"Hey! There are still living! There are still people alive!" Tsakuya exclaimed loudly between joy and disbelief there were still humans alive in the midst of this severe chaos. While Zusami opened her eyes, she saw Tsakuya's exaggerated attitude - like the boy who had just seen something new for the first time.

"From you screaming like a stupid boy, you better heal him" Zusami replied cynically as she approached a human who appeared to be calling out to her.

"Heh, boy I salute you can still breathe." Zusami crouched down in front of a young boy. Judging from his body, the age of the boy ranged from 12 years.

"U-u-u ...." The boy wanted to talk, but his whole body felt extremely ill even if it was just to utter a few words. Tsakuya approached the boy and held his head.

"Be quiet, boy, your wounds are terrible. If you speak again, believe me your five veins will rupture" Tsakuya said. The boy said, no longer speaking but looking at the two grown men in front of him.

"How's it?" Tsakuya asked.

"What?" Zusami doesn't understand what Tsakuya's question means.

"I mean do we have to help this boy?" Tsakuya.

"Whatever, because I don't care. This boy's death or life has nothing to do with me." Zusami replied indifferently.

"Your words are very painful for a boy of his age. Try to be friendly. Know that he likes a gentle man." Tsakuya chimed in cynically. He slowly embraced the boy, then waltzed away regardless of Zusami's chitchat behind.

"He's who you mean, huh?! Shut the fuck up before I can make her talk forever!!"

"You heard no?!"

"Yayaya .. do you want to keep raving like crazy over there?! I think you'd better be quiet as before than you are now!" reply Tsakuya no less hard.

***

"We have found the location of the alleged hideout of the humans. They're hiding in a cave not far from here." A soldier who had gone before searching for the whereabouts of the Xuilin Kingdom's survivors, had come to bring news.

"The cave is in the east of the Xuilin kingdom. About two miles." The soldier again.

Zusami nodded slowly. "Good, we'll go there after Tsakuya's business is done. Now you rest first." The soldier nodded slowly and left after receiving his next order.

Zusami turns and approaches Tsakuya who has been treating the condition of the boy they saved, errat, Tsakuya who saved him. It seemed that the boy could already move and speak more freely without having to endure the excruciatingly painful pain. Unmistakably, the one treating him was the greatest alchemist or physician in the Heavenly world.

"Well, kid. Can you explain why you're still safe?" Zusami asked sarcastically making him get an elbow on his calf.

"What's? I'm just asking." Zusami looked at Tsakuya plain-ass, but she knew that she might have been a little rude to a little boy.

"Be a little friendly. He's still a kid," Tsakuya scolds sharply. Tsakuya is very fond of children, not infrequently he always acts friendly and kind in front of small children. The original ... Zusami believes all the children will stay away from Tsakuya if she knows the other side of Tsakuya.

"Don't mind what he's talking about." Tsakuya patted gently on the boy's shoulder in front of him, and the boy simply nodded. "Well, now tell me what happened until you got hurt like this?" Tsakuya asked in a tone as courteous as possible.

"Before that let me introduce myself." The boy touched his left chest. Act like a noble child when giving a formal salute. He did it to Tsakuya because Tsakuya had helped him. "Me, Minghao. I intend to prevent the warriors of the Upper world war from the people they oppress. But, they're too many."

The boy named Minghao also recounted the incident that happened to him so seriously. While Tsakuya and Zusami listen to him enthusiastically. Minghao said the warriors of the Upper world war were too many, let alone they attacked indiscriminately, anyone who stood in the way would be mercilessly killed. Minghao made the captives captured by the warriors of the Upper world war escape with his two younger siblings. Fearing that the soldiers would get them, Minghao sacrificed himself to stop the soldiers. While he asked his two younger brothers to take away the people.

In short, so.

Tsakuya fell silent, Probably thinking of something. While Zusami only beards as if to understand.

"So you're a Cultivator, huh?" asked Zusami who made Minghao silenced. Judging from his reaction, Zusami's guess was correct.

"I think it's like that too. You have a great Qi, the dantian and the wedge have all been exposed, no brat like you should be able to do it." Tsakuya added. As someone who had examined Minghao's condition, he also knew that Minghao was a Cultivator. It was just that what Tsakuya could not believe was the extremely high potential of Minghao, incompatible with his relatively young age.

Minghao wasn't as smart as Jiazhen so he couldn't cover up her natural response when suspected. He hesitantly nodded and replied, "Yes, I am indeed a Cultivator."

Tsakuya complained of resignation, amazed by Minghao's extraordinary talent for her. While Zusami squinted his gaze at Minghao. He suspects something.

"There are no Cultivators in the Middle World. So you're definitely not a native of this world, are you?" Zusami gave a thin grin that was perhaps more impressed the more suspicious.

Minghao was not the type of young man to lie when asked, nor was he as good at lying as Yihua and Jiazhen. So do not be surprised if you sometimes see Minghao who is too honest without thinking about the risks of his words. He is a man who always thinks positively and very rarely prejudices someone. (Rarely does not mean never). But, that did not mean that Minghao never worried when talking, let alone about something that should be kept secret.

"I am from the Upper world," Minghao replied hesitantly.

"Ah, the Upper world." Tsakuya nodded slowly, understand. However, a few seconds later he screamed like a man of doom. "WHAT?! UPPER WORLD?!"

Zusami patted his forehead, resignedly. Shame to see Tsakuya's attitude that is no longer as calm as before. Now it looks like a commoner who just came out of his primitive world.

"Oi! Your reaction is overrated." Zusami. Then turn to Minghao. "Well, kid. Aren't you lying? You're from the Upper world? Ck, you think we're stupid?" Zusami did not believe Minghao's words. It was clear where perhaps a boy from the Upper world really existed in the Middle world. If anything, it would be impossible for them to help the Middle world survive the looting of the Upper world which was their main mission.

"I-I'm not lying." Minghao refuted. "Me and my two sisters are indeed from the Upper world. We were ordered to look after our Mother who was in the Middle world." Minghao explained as seriously as possible. But, in Zusami's eyes all of Minghao's words were lies!

Point of absence comma!

"So your mother is from the Middle world, while your father is from the Upper world. Isn't she?" Tsakuya. Minghao nodded, yes.

"Ah, I get it. So this is an ironic love story, when two people can't be together because of the world's differences? Ckckck, what a love story for your parents." Tsakuya shook her head slowly, instead of feeling sorry for the love story to the two Minghao elders. He wanted to laugh and said 'Humans are weird, yes!'

"Eer .. I can't think of it that way." Minghao said softly, very slowly, with almost no sound.

"Okay, what if we go see your mother?"

"It seems like it can't."

"Why can't it?"

"Mother not found. My gut tells me that you've been caught."
