Xin Daodu was filled with gratitude towards Xiang Beifei, understanding that he was likely benefiting from Helian Zheng’s fortune.
"Your race has also been captured, about two thousand miles north from here, they should still be alive. However, I warn you, even if it’s your own race, their belief systems include worshipping those Meat-Winged Monsters, changing such views immediately is impossible, Changpan Valley’s Human Race is a previous example," Xiang Beifei said.
The Questioning Heart Race had always been comfortably isolated, yet due to their appearance and similarities to humans, along with having five lives, they were targeted by the Eternal Night Demon King. The leaders were captured to become fertilizer for black trees, and tribe members were captured for captivity as egg sac hosts.
It’s a situation of shared suffering.
"I understand, I’ll gradually change their mindset."
Xin Daodu had been confined for over a hundred years, his race had long since deteriorated in the desolate realm, leaving only those captured as egg sac tribe members.
Clearly, every race captured by the Meat-Winged Monsters has already been indoctrinated as followers of the Moon God. The sanctimoniously winged Moon God is their savior, and this tragic ideology is deeply ingrained in their minds.
Even when Xiang Beifei aimed to change Changpan Valley, it was done step by step.
To ensure the survival and continuation of his race, this is destined to be a long road, Xin Daodu won’t give up on his tribesmen, he must lead them to survive.
Xiang Beifei spent additional time dealing with the remaining Yi tribe members used as fertilizer by the Eternal Night Demon King. However, he didn’t save every cultivator, he needed to evaluate them first.
For instance, he discovered among them a race called Spirit-Eating, which specializes in refining through devouring.
This race strengthens itself by devouring other cultivators, enhancing its cultivation, arrogant and brutal by nature, initially was a medium to upper tier race in the desolate realm, comparable to the Panjiao Race.
Yet in the end, they were captured by the Meat-Winged Monsters to become fertilizer and egg sacs.
For the Meat-Winged Monsters, there are no absolute allies, even those completely loyal are just disposable tools for slaughter. The Spirit-Eating Race simply encountered a harsher opponent.
While investigating the Spirit-Eating Race masters within the Heavenly Connection territory, outwardly they were full of gratitude, but internally they planned to first gain trust from the Human Race, then devour them.
Unfortunately, Xiang Beifei didn’t give him the chance and directly killed him.
Truly grateful Yi tribe members, he saved and released, while the three to four with malicious intentions, he couldn’t be bothered to rescue. Fortunately, most Yi tribe cultivators had a decent nature and understood gratitude.
After finishing everything, he let those cultivators leave.
Within Changpan Valley.
One month had passed since Xiang Beifei killed the Eternal Night Demon King, during which life in Changpan Valley had gradually stabilized, everyone grew accustomed to it here.
Food was plentiful, there was no threat from desolate beasts, it was safer than the former Changpan Valley. In the past, hunting required risking being killed by desolate beasts or ambushed and slaughtered by Meat-Winged Monsters, now, it wasn’t necessary.
Here, they only needed to focus on cultivation.
If they wanted to improve their diet, Helian Zheng would bring them food, given Helian Zheng’s abilities, these weren’t a concern.
"You all must remember these things,"
Uncle Liang was instructing a group of children, while pointing at a large stone beside them.
At the center of the training ground, there hung two items on a large stone.
One was a pair of bows and arrows, used by Xiang Beifei during the last Meng Dong hunt to kill the Meat-Winged Monsters, especially the arrow that killed the first Meat-Winged Monster, collected by Uncle Liang as a treasured item to hang on the stone.
"This arrow launched the new era of Changpan Valley; this shot sounded the counterattack of Changpan Valley, symbolizing its rebirth. It was Xiang Beifei who brought us this peaceful life; this bow and arrow shall become the guardian artifact of Changpan Valley!"
Uncle Liang passionately explained the importance of the bow and arrow to everyone, treating it as the protective divine arrow of Changpan Valley.
Er Ya, Da Zhuang, and several children admirably stared at the bow and arrow, even one child reached out attempting to touch it, only to have Uncle Liang slap away their hand.
"The divine arrow mustn’t be touched carelessly!"
Uncle Liang seriously stated, then turned to the second so-called "guardian artifact," a smoking pipe.
"This smoking pipe can reveal the true form of Meat-Winged Monsters. It’s precisely this pipe that allowed us to see the essence of Meat-Winged Monsters. This is the smoking pipe of truth, empowered by Xiang Beifei, a treasure to unveil the deceiving mist and see the truth! The second guardian artifact!"
Uncle Liang proudly puffed out his chest as he pointed to the smoking pipe hanging on the rock wall.
That smoking pipe was naturally his, it made him exceedingly arrogant.
Many children were in astonishment and admiration.
Xiang Beifei watched beside with a humorous expression as Uncle Liang eloquently lectured, feeling Uncle Liang was like a shaman, mesmerizing the group of children.
After Uncle Liang finished explaining to everyone, Xiang Beifei called Jiang Feng and Uncle Liang over.
"Uncle Liang, is it really okay to be deceiving kids ?" Xiang Beifei rubbed his forehead in slight annoyance, "I saved you all not to shift your faith from the Meat-Winged Monsters to me."
Uncle Liang nonchalantly waved his hand: "What’s the harm? People need a role model while alive, to remember the lessons of the past, to appreciate the present, so they can live in the future. They need to take you as an example, to be more diligent in their cultivation."
