211: alien retreat

There was one more person in Li Haotian's residence, but life remained largely unchanged. Just as everyone was cleaning up after finishing their hotpot, the residence door suddenly opened.

Su Yao and her team had successfully returned to the city, and the moment she arrived, she went straight to find her Revered Master.

"Revered Master!"

Su Yao was brimming with excitement as she hopped over to the table.

"Are you all having hotpot?"

Everyone nodded.

"Oh, if I had known, I would have come back faster to catch this meal!"

Su Yao felt a bit annoyed, but she quickly remembered her main business.

"Revered Master, I encountered Du Xian!"

Li Haotian paused slightly: "That guy hasn't sent back any news for so long. How is he doing now? How is his Cultivation? Has he made any progress?"

He was quite concerned about this Disciple of his. After all, they had spent a long time together, and furthermore, the other party had always been loyal and worked very hard at his Cultivate; he naturally appreciated such talent.

If it weren't for the System constantly requiring Luck to be kept on hand, the other party would have become his Disciple long ago.

"His Cultivation has advanced quite a bit, and he even obtained a Legacy. It was really quite good. We were in a Secret Realm..."

Su Yao excitedly recounted everything she had seen and heard while meeting her Junior Brother. This time, they had also suffered heavy casualties, but they had also gained a great deal.

Not only had they obtained a massive amount of resources, but they had also gained a Legacy.

"What you said makes me tempted. I am your Junior Brother too, Senior Sister. Remember to call me next time there is such a good opportunity."

Zhang Hai's face was filled with envy; he feared that his annual salary might not even compare to what they had gained on this single outing.

"Don't worry. If all goes as expected, you can also leave the city walls for the outside world. From now on, none of you should stay in the city. All of you, go outside. The alien race has been severely damaged by us, and they will absolutely not have any thoughts of attacking the city walls in the short term. The garrison near the Fissure city will also be significantly reduced, so your activities outside will become very safe."

Li Haotian reached out with his chopsticks and pointed at Little Fatty Bai, who was always the most prone to slacking off. The latter shrank his neck, a wry smile barely appearing on his face.

"If you want any resources, just go and fight for them yourselves. Kill any aliens you encounter. If you encounter members of the Human Race, you can rob them if you want, just try not to cause any deaths."

"The news will likely spread back very soon. I suggest you set off now to seize the initiative."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hai was stirred with excitement and immediately returned to the military camp to prepare to select a group of trusted brothers to head out together.

He had no intention of just forming a ten-person squad for some minor trouble; he planned to put together a team of several hundred people to head out in a grand manner and sweep through the surrounding territory of the alien race.

Su Yao also immediately returned, and after restocking a batch of resources, she was ready to take action at any time.

The frequency of alien attacks began to gradually decrease, from once every three days at the beginning to once every ten days now.

After the news of the Human Race defeating the alien race spread, the aliens did not come to harass the Human Race for a whole month.

Many soldiers stationed on the city walls applied to go outside, though only thirty percent were allowed to go out, rotating once a month.

Zhang Hai waved his hand, and with a grand, bustling crowd of his subordinates, he left the town.

Su Yao did not go with him, but instead continued to gather her ten-person squad to set out again.

Little Fatty Bai was happy to be idle. He managed to secure a Centurion position under Zhang Hai's command, and with a few people of his own, he followed the main force out to explore.

This batch that went out could be said to have departed much faster than the first, as Li Haotian had notified them in a very timely manner, allowing them to obtain first-hand information.

Other forces also dispatched their own Prodigy Disciples to go outside.

The war between the Human Race and the alien race had basically always been one where the more they fought, the poorer they became, because the Human Race had never attacked the alien race's homeland, while the alien race had frequently attacked the Human Race's homeland, plundering vast amounts of resources.

Now that there was a rare opportunity to make money, the various forces naturally would not miss it. They even contributed some resources, planning to build five new cities in the surrounding area to guard the Fissure city.

At the same time, they used these five cities as a Foundation to develop some industries for the Human Race to see if they could generate corresponding profits.

The Powerhouses of the major forces naturally understood what this heavy blow meant for the alien race.

It meant that for a long time to come, be it over a dozen years or even a hundred years, the alien race would not have another chance to attack the cities of the Human Race.

What they needed to do now was to seize the time to expand their influence, and then begin to sweep up the resources that the alien race had not yet finished mining.

Li Haotian had originally wanted to leave as well, but he was firmly stopped by the women; none of them would allow Li Haotian to go.

They were still short a player for mahjong, and if this guy left, they wouldn't have enough.

Zhang Lian was assigned by Li Haotian to return to his own Sect to serve, and if there was anything in the future, he would be notified again. If the Emerald Bird Pavilion had any unusual movements, Li Haotian could also receive first-hand information.

In addition to this, the remaining two Great Emperors followed by Li Haotian's side. Now he had a full six Great Emperors by his side: five at the Peak Great Emperor level and one at the Middle Stage, so no one in the entire Heavenly Luck could ever threaten his safety again.

After some understanding, Baili Hui's strength was not the least bit weaker than Lin Tianxuan's; the two could be said to be evenly matched. Both of them were the most brilliant Prodigies of their respective eras, and in the long river of history, the two originally had no chance to meet.

Li Haotian, a guy who was like a bug, had forcibly brought together two top Prodigies from different eras to guard his side.

Du Xian had still been fighting with a group of alien Powerhouses, and just as he was about to be captured by the opponent, they had inexplicably retreated.

Watching the alien Powerhouses who had surrounded him from all over the mountains and plains retreat, Du Xian was completely bewildered; he had no idea what had happened.

These alien Powerhouses fled at an extremely fast speed toward the direction of their headquarters. The high-level leadership of the alien race was currently quite clear that it was impossible to maintain such vast territory with their current military strength.

Stationing here would only increase casualties in vain, because the Human Race had now dispatched a large number of Powerhouses to leave the towns and sweep the surrounding areas.

In order to reduce further casualties, they had no choice but to retreat.

This unit of the alien race that had been chasing Du Xian was not too far from the territory of the Human Race, and the human vanguard would arrive there in about a day or two. To avoid unnecessary trouble, they retreated as quickly as possible.

A golden envelope suddenly appeared in Du Xian's hand; this was a secret sound transmission technique of the Sect.

"Yes, I know that your location is relatively close to the rear of the alien race. Hurry to the major towns of the alien race. They should have some residual resources. Now that they have all retreated, these good things are ours!"
