After completing all this, Lu Fan left the Zhongzhou Academy, his heart filled with worry. He had not expected things to turn out this way, catching him off guard.
He had been in the inheritance land for over a year. In this time, a battle had erupted between the two races. Even more terrifying was that Zhongzhou had fallen, signifying that the human race was being suppressed by the beast race. If this were the case, it would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to all of humanity.
Leaving the Zhongzhou Academy, Lu Fan set off towards the Eastern Domain, not daring to delay. The human race was in peril, and he could not afford to be remiss.
After all, this matter was of great importance. With the slightest carelessness, the entire human race could be annihilated. Now that he had obtained the inheritance of the Zhongzhou Academy and could even achieve the "Yi Qi Hua San Qing" technique, he possessed such a profound secret method that could protect himself.
However, he had not traveled far before Lu Fan spotted several members of the beast race within a mountain range. Puzzled, he quickly entered the mountains.
"I wonder where those humans have gone. Patriarch Huayu specifically ordered the extermination of all humans. If they escape, wouldn't it be a loss that outweighs the gain!"
"Even so, those few humans are not important figures. Even if they escape, it won't affect the overall situation!"
"Exterminating humans is the command of the various patriarchs. We simply follow orders. As for other matters, they are not for us to consider!"
With indifferent eyes, several men spoke frankly, seemingly without any reservation.
At the same time, a messenger from the beast race arrived. "We've just received news that those few humans have entered the deepest part of the mountain range. As long as we go to the deepest part, we can find them and kill them completely!"
"Then let's advance at full speed!" the leader of the men commanded, his gaze growing even more indifferent, as if all of this were commonplace in their eyes.
Hearing their conversation, Lu Fan's brow furrowed slightly. He then proceeded towards the deepest part of the mountain range. Since they were humans, he naturally had to intervene. The entire Zhongzhou was now littered with corpses, and countless humans had died. If such a thing were to happen again, the human race would truly be finished.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Fan arrived at the deepest part of the mountain range. Beside a waterfall, he found several women standing, tending to their wounds.
"The beast race is hunting you. If you continue to expose your whereabouts, you might be caught by them!"
Lu Fan's voice rang out as he warned the women.
The women quickly turned around, their hearts filled with vigilance. Lu Fan's silent appearance made them wary. "Are you human or beast?"
"Of course, I am human!" Lu Fan stated directly. "Otherwise, why would I warn you!"
"You are human!"
The woman in white was slightly startled and surprised. Based on her understanding, humans had already left, and they shouldn't be here.
"Sister, don't trust him so easily!" the woman in green said warily. "All the humans in Zhongzhou have been slaughtered. How can he be human? There are no bloodstains on him, and it seems he hasn't been attacked by the beast race at all!"
The woman in white was momentarily stunned and became vigilant. What Qing Die said was indeed true. They had been pursued by the beast race and looked quite disheveled, but Lu Fan seemed unaffected.
"Don't misunderstand. I was also in seclusion for over a year. After I came out of seclusion, I discovered that my sect had already been occupied by the beast race!"
Lu Fan stated directly. "I see that your auras are not strong. If you continue to travel alone like this, you'll likely become prey. Why don't you follow me directly!"
"Follow you?"
Qing Die and Bai Die exchanged glances and spoke in unison. "Why should we follow you? Can you protect us? Or can you lead us out of Zhongzhou?"
"It should be no problem!" Lu Fan nodded slightly.
The two women exchanged glances, their doubts evident. Lu Fan's sudden appearance had already made them suspicious, and now his words made them feel something was amiss.
"What's wrong? It seems you don't believe me?" Lu Fan said with a wry smile. "Do I not look like a good person? Or do you think I'm not human!"
"Judging by your aura, you are indeed human!"
Qing Die said, "However, the humans have already left Zhongzhou. Your appearance here is extremely suspicious!"
"You say that, but I'm not the only human appearing here!"
Lu Fan smiled. "Aren't you humans too! Are you bad people?"
"We are like this because we didn't retreat in time," Bai Die quickly explained.
"You have your reasons, and I naturally have mine!"
Lu Fan stated directly. "So, you shouldn't be so hasty. You can doubt me, but you cannot question my character!"
"Perhaps we should listen to him!" Qing Die said solemnly. "After all, we may not be able to escape now. One more person means one more helper. As long as he is human, he can resist the beast race!"
With these words, Bai Die nodded slightly. "These are extraordinary times. Since that's the case, we'll go with him. This way, we'll have company, and we can face the beast race together if we encounter them!"
"Forget about facing them together. With your strength, you are no match for the beast race!" Lu Fan waved his hand, his words blunt.
"Are you looking down on us?"
Feeling somewhat displeased, Qing Die said coldly, "I haven't seen your strength yet. Show me how powerful you are to dare say such things!"
"I was just joking!"
Lu Fan gave an awkward smile. "Please don't take it seriously. Let's hurry up and leave this mountain range. It won't be good if we are surrounded by the beast race!"
"But the surroundings of this mountain range are full of beast race members. If we fly, they will discover us!" Qing Die shook her head. "However, constantly hiding in the mountains is not a solution either!"
"Don't worry, just follow my pace, and I'll lead you out of this mountain range. If any beast race experts intercept us, I will naturally step in to stop them!" Lu Fan stated directly, his tone indifferent.
Following Lu Fan's words, Qing Die and Bai Die exchanged glances, their hearts filled with surprise. They had not expected Lu Fan to speak like this, not knowing that there were Saint Beast level existences among the beast race. With the slightest misstep, everything could be ruined, which was what they least wished to see.
