Chapter 219 Chapter 219: Immense Fate
The people of the Alchemist World had their hopes reignited when they won the first battle after hundreds of previous losses.
Although the victory was small, in the endless darkness, this was the hope that many warriors had been waiting for. This victory made them realize that the intruders weren't invincible. This victory gave them courage, and the one who was made the hero of the battle was a young man, named the Young God of War.
Stories about the young man spread rapidly, people telling stories about how a single young man held back hundreds of warriors, without the slightest of fear.
There were also many people who thought that the story was an exaggeration, but none could confirm it.
Many people were curious about the true identity of the Young God of War, but the Martial Alliance kept his identity a secret. Not only that, they sent even more powerful warriors to protect the Young God of War.
Even the Martial Alliance Leader personally invited the young man to the Central City to reward him, but the young man refused, saying he wanted to stay on the battlefield.
Even the Generals that were leading the armies for the Martial Alliance felt proud of the young man. He wasn't greedy or running after rewards. Instead, he was willing to fight for his people, even with his life on the line.
In the army camp, the young man was given a tent to stay right next to the tent of the General of the Army.
"Sigh, finally the old man left. Looks like you've attracted a lot of attention this time. It might not be all good."
Inside the young man's tent, a feminine voice was heard. However even the Guards standing at the entrance didn't react, as if they couldn't hear the voice.
"Do you have to be that loud?" Inside the debt, a young man was sitting, cleaning his sword that had been with him when he fought. The Martial Alliance wanted to give him an even more luxurious sword, yet the man refused, only wanting to use this sword.
"Why would I have to lower my voice? It's not like anyone other than you can hear me." Next to the young man, a woman was sitting, playfully looking at him.
The young man simply rolled his eyes in response. "Do what you want."
"Are you trying to change the topic?" the woman asked, getting slightly serious. "Didn't I tell you that you need to be more careful and not attract attention to yourself? You know it can be really dangerous."
"Did you expect me to sit back and watch the entire town being wiped?" The young man retorted. "The people of this town helped me when I needed it. I couldn't abandon them like this."
"Moreover, why should I need to worry? I have you to protect me. And I also have..." the man briefly paused, not finishing his sentence.
"You're destined to become an Immortal. Do you really have to care about such mortals? There are billions of such mortals in every world. They are like insects, always growing in number. But you're special," the woman sighed. "Your life is more valuable."
The man didn't respond. He stood up and kept the sword in the sheath on his back.
"All lives are valuable. Not just mine. If I can save someone, why would I abandon them? What's the benefit of having this strength if I'm to abandon everyone?" the young man spoke. "Although I didn't want to enter this war, but now that I've entered it, I'll finish it."
He left the tent, taking his sword with him.
Back inside the tent, the woman sighed. "If only you were a little more selfish and ruthless, it would've saved so much trouble."
After some time, she stood up and followed after the young man, "But you're right. With me around, I won't let anyone kill you. Moreover, it's not as if there's someone in this world who can threaten your destiny. But still, what's this strange feeling I keep having?'
The dark haired woman accompanied Yan Xu, staying right next to him. Although she wanted Yan Xu to avoid unnecessary attention, believing that it was a waste of time when he could be cultivating instead, but if he wanted to do something, she wasn't going to stand in his path.
Wherever Yan Xu Walked, the Warriors of the Martial Alliance greeted him. Although he was younger than them, but all of them held immense respect for him.
"It's the Young God of War!" Even the people of the town greeted Yan Xu with great love. While men wanted to be like him, women wished for him to just look in their direction at least once.
Yan Xu smiled at the people of the town, greeting them back. The people were even more surprised by how humble this young man was, despite the strength he possessed.
As Yan Xu walked towards the outskirts of the Town to practice his sword in preparation of the upcoming battle, he didn't realize that someone was watching him with a different intention.
Atop a distant building, Xu Shan was sitting lazily, watching Yan Xu with great interest.
"What do you think? Does he have it?" he asked.
"I can't feel its presence on him, but for some reason, I feel that something is extremely wrong with him. I just don't know what," Xin responded with a heavy frown, surprised herself.
She had thought that she was going to find another book this time, but she couldn't sense the book at all. Yet, she found something even more shocking. The fate of Yan Xu was even stronger than anyone she had ever seen before.
Even if she was to combine the fate of all heirs of the books she came across, if still wasn't anything comparable to the young man, which she found quite strange.
Moreover, she also felt that there was another presence around Yan Xu, but she couldn't see it either.
"I think you should be careful. I feel that he won't be that simple. Moreover, it doesn't look like he's alone either. I feel another presence right beside him."
"I know. I felt it as well. But for her to be able to hide from us... How interesting." Slowly, a smile crept up Xu Shan's lips.
