496 Han Muye’s Second Trip to the Central Continent Begins (2)

…

Han Muye and Mu Wan did not really travel alone. Instead, a large group of people headed to the Central Continent together.

After visiting Xiao Yueli and Gao Changgong, Han Muye and the other two followed the Xiao family’s caravan to the Central Continent.

“Young Master Mu, just ahead of us is the Shao Yuan Ridge. It used to be the base of the Green Tiger Clan. Now it’s managed by some of the remaining tigers and some humans who moved south.”

The leader of the caravan, Xiao Chu, was an elder of the Xiao family and Xiao Yueli’s uncle.

Of course, compared to Xiao Yueli, Xiao Chu’s status was much lower. He had to lead the caravan to the Central Continent and the Southern Wasteland to accumulate wealth for the family.

War had always been accompanied by wealth.

Be it the Xiao family, Qian Yiming’s family, or the caravan fleets, they had all made a fortune in the ongoing wars between the Southern Wasteland and the Central Continent.

From the migration of humans to the convergence of all kinds of goods, everything else was ill-gotten gain, aside from the military funds that they did not dare to touch.

Xiao Chu whispered to Han Muye and Mu Wan about the produce of Shao Yuan Ridge, where they were about to go. Many people in the caravans behind him looked at Han Muye with indignant expressions.

Han Muye’s alias was Mu Ye. He was a beginner alchemist and Mu Wan was his junior sister.

The reason why they traveled with the caravan was because Mu Ye was Gao Changgong’s distant relative.

Gao Changgong actually brought along his family’s Miss and they got together for no reason.

It was said that the elders of the Xiao family in the Imperial City were very unhappy about this matter.

However, Xiao Yueli was now in the army. Even if those Xiao family elders had some guts, they would not dare to cause trouble for the army.

Anyway, the clan had said that if Gao Changgong returned to the Central Continent with Xiao Xueli, they would teach him a lesson.

Gao Changgong was a ruthless person. He was holed up in the army, making those unhappy Xiao family members exasperated.

Now that they saw Gao Changgong’s distant relative, they hated him to the core, which showed in their eyes.

But naturally, Xiao Chu, Xiao Yueli’s uncle who got his power and status from Xiao Yueli, was not like those ordinary disciples. Instead, he was very attentive to Han Muye.

The Mystic Sun Guards and the Red Flame Army had occupied nearly half of the Southern Wasteland. Most of the various clans in the Southern Wasteland had retreated.

This was because Qian Yiming had used the condition of not fighting for 10 years in exchange for the opportunity to enter the Ten Thousand Demons Secret Realm. After he left the secret realm, he indeed did not lead an army to fight again.

In the past three years, a large number of humans had migrated to the Central Continent. On the other hand, the various demon clans under their rule had been divided and undergone various Confucian teachings.

On the other side, the demons were much more relaxed.

The Heavenly Fox returned, only appearing to appease the various clans before disappearing.

Some of the demon races began to move to the Western Frontier, while others defended their own clans.

The returning elites grew rapidly, greatly increasing the strength of their clans.

This was the demon race. Their bloodlines and habits were all different. It was impossible for them to really be united.

Even the demons of the Desolate Wilderness could not do it, let alone a place like the Southern Wasteland.

Once the 10-year period was up, the war would start again. Perhaps the Southern Wasteland would really fall.

As for whether Qian Yiming would wage war against the Western Frontier, that would depend on whether he had the guts.

Han Muye was looking forward to it.

After crossing the mountain ridge, the village in front of them appeared.

There were straw sheds surrounded by wooden houses and houses made of soil and stone.

Most of the demons in the Southern Wasteland were not particular about their food, clothing, and transportation. This was a huge contrast to the opulent Central Continent.

As the caravan fleet moved forward, a few figures rushed over from the village.

The leader was an old student in his fifties who was dressed in a scholarly robe. There was also a tall and strong member of the Green Tiger Clan with stripes on his head and face.
