Chapter 18: The Five Yakshas

Above the sky, a sky full of rock spears appeared, standing around Morax, and a massive stone star hung in the sky, waiting to be summoned.

Morax's cold words, filled with killing intent, made some Archons who wanted to be the "oriole" retreat.

Although they didn't know if the youth named Immortal Wood Spirit still had the power to fight, the Morax before them was truly in his peak state.

They were not that stubborn.

As several auras fled, Morax waved his hand to disperse the rock spears and controlled the rocks to place Jiang Yan on the ground.

"What a reckless kid."

Azhdaha walked over, looking at the slightly weak Jiang Yan and the devastated Dihua Marsh, and sighed.

"How about it, Azhdaha, was my Great Buddha cool or not?"

The war ended, and Jiang Yan also returned to his usual carefree, laughing self, looking like a completely different person from the one who had stood atop the giant Buddha.

"Strong!"

Azhdaha's evaluation was always so to the point.

"Hahaha."

Jiang Yan laughed.

"Then how will you handle the few before us?"

Morax controlled a giant rock hand to grab the five remaining Yakshas.

Looking at the five familiar Yakshas, thoughts flashed through Jiang Yan's eyes, and he suddenly felt a bit emotional.

Is this fate?

To survive under the Top-Level Transformation, and it just happened to be these five people.

These five before him were exactly the five Yakshas from his past life's PV.

Bosacius, Bonanus, Xiao, Menogias, Indarias!

Especially when he saw the short, cyan-haired youth.

Xiao!

Uh... he really is a bit short...

Looking at the cyan-haired youth who was clearly a head shorter than the other four, Jiang Yan rubbed his chin and turned to look at Morax.

"Rex Lapis, what do you think?"

"This is your achievement; you handle it."

Morax handed the decision-making power to Jiang Yan.

In other words, the power of life and death over these five Yakshas was in Jiang Yan's hands!

Jiang Yan reached out, and under the terrified gazes of the five Yakshas, five slender branches shot out from his palm.

They gently inserted into their arms.

Faint energy carrying vitality flowed from the branches into the bodies of the five Yakshas.

It counted as alleviating their severe, near-death injuries.

The Yakshas looked at Jiang Yan with astonished eyes.

Morax and Azhdaha did not speak, only watching quietly.

"The Yaksha tribe attacked the Millelith; although it was under the control of the Archon of Dreams, in my eyes, you should have died!"

Jiang Yan's faint voice reached the ears of the Yakshas.

"But your Yaksha tribe was also wiped out by me in the war; now, only the five of you remain."

"The grudge between us can be considered settled."

"Are you five willing to join the Millelith and serve Rex Lapis?"

The Yakshas looked at each other.

They nodded almost simultaneously.

They had seen the combat power of Jiang Yan and Morax.

They were far stronger than that Archon of Dreams!

Their old master was dead; although they were controlled, they now had nowhere to go.

Joining Morax's command was not a bad choice.

Seeing the five Yakshas agree, Jiang Yan turned to Morax:

"The rest is up to you."

Morax sighed lightly: "You really know how to find work for me."

His words carried a teasing tone.

Morax was naturally willing to have the Yakshas join.

Morax had long heard of the combat power of the Yaksha tribe; they were existences that could rival adepti.

Having them join the Millelith would undoubtedly greatly strengthen the Millelith's combat power.

"You five, I am Morax; since you wish to join my command, you must sign a contract with me..."

Morax quickly signed a contract with them, and a glimmer of light merged into the brows of the five Yakshas.

"The contract is made; those who eat rock shall suffer the punishment of eating rock!"

The contract was established, and the five Yakshas officially joined Morax's camp.

"Alatus"

"Indarias"

"Bosacius"

"Bonanus"

"Menogias"

"We greet Rex Lapis, Immortal Lord."*5

The five Yakshas were released from the rock restraints by Morax, and under Jiang Yan's treatment, they could barely move, kneeling on one knee on the ground.

"Rise."

Morax raised his hand gently and said to Jiang Yan beside him:

"It's quite a bargain for your Millelith."

"Hey, hey, hey! What's wrong with my Millelith! They are very strong! Even Chi acknowledged them!" ===== CHAPTER 44 =====

Jiang Yan said with great dissatisfaction.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Morax smiled lightly.

"The Millelith you trained are very strong!"

"That's a must!"

Jiang Yan almost lifted his head to the sky.

The Yakshas stood there, looking at each other.

The Rex Lapis and the Immortal Lord... don't seem as... fierce as imagined?

Their eyes held a sense of fortune.

Because of the Archon of Dreams' near-brutal oppression, in the hearts of these Yakshas, it seemed like Archons should be that brutal and ruthless.

But the Rex Lapis before them didn't seem to be that kind of Archon. ===== CHAPTER 45 =====

After resting for a while, Jiang Yan followed Morax and the others to where the Millelith were resting.

"Rex Lapis! Immortal Lord!"

Seeing the returning group, the Millelith quickly stepped forward.

And when they saw the five Yakshas following the two, their expressions changed.

"Protect the Immortal Lord and Rex Lapis!"

Several spears were aimed at the five Yakshas.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous." Jiang Yan waved his hand, signaling everyone to lower their spears.

"These five are on our side; from now on, they will be your comrades."

Jiang Yan patted the short Xiao on the shoulder and said to the Millelith.

"...Yes!"

The Millelith looked at each other and lowered their spears.

"Alright, brothers!"

Jiang Yan clapped his hands and said loudly to everyone.

"The war is over! We..."

"Won!!"

As Jiang Yan's words fell, cheers erupted in the Millelith camp.

This was their first time participating in a war.

Facing countless monsters, they did not retreat!

And Jiang Yan and Morax naturally could not let them down!

In this war, Guili Plains, belonging to Morax's side...

A great victory!

"Alright, brothers!"

Jiang Yan reached out to signal everyone to be quiet.

"We can talk about the victory when we get back, so for now!"

"Form up!"

The Millelith stood up quickly, their hands gripping their spears, once again demonstrating what it meant to follow orders before their Rex Lapis.

Although they were all wounded, every face was filled with the joy of victory.

Jiang Yan looked at the black crowd before him, and the originally serious face suddenly smiled.

"Let's go home!"

Guili Plains.

At this moment in Guili Plains, Azhdaha had returned early, letting the people and everyone in Guili Plains know the news that the front line had won a great victory.

The Millelith had used their fierce momentum to wipe out countless monsters under Chi, achieving a great victory!

The Immortal Wood Spirit had even hammered two Archons on the battlefield, one dead and one severely injured and fleeing!

Countless common people walked the streets, sharing their joy with other people.

The prestige of the Immortal Wood Spirit was also spread among the people of Guili Plains at this moment.

When they learned that they would soon enter the territory of Guili Plains.

Almost all the people came to the border entrance of Guili Plains, preparing to welcome their army and the return of the Immortal Lord and Rex Lapis.

Guizhong, Marchosius, Ganyu, and a group of adepti naturally stood at the very front of the people.

Especially Ganyu, whose little head wanted to lift to the sky, just to see the figure she wanted to see.

"They're here!"

Someone exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention.

They saw at the intersection of heaven and earth, figures walking neatly suddenly appeared.

The armor of the Millelith was stained with the blood of countless monsters.

At this moment, the way they walked was like demons crawled out of hell.

Exuding a rich scent of blood and killing intent.

And Jiang Yan, Morax, and the three of them walked in front.

The two of them wore battle robes, their heroic figures deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.

Is this the Immortal Lord and Rex Lapis who protect us?

Is this the army composed of us humans?!

Strong!

Handsome!

These two words suddenly floated into the hearts of the people.

"Immortal Lord!!"

"Rex Lapis!!!"

"Immortal Lord!!"

"Rex Lapis!!"

Amidst the cheers of the people, the Millelith and Jiang Yan and others officially returned to Guili Plains.

A grand carnival was held in every corner of Guili Plains.

Since Jiang Yan returned, Ganyu's eyes had been darting back and forth on him.

"I'm really fine!"

Jiang Yan looked helpless.

"How could you be fine!"

Ganyu puffed up her little face, looking angry.

"Those were two Archons!"

"Let me take a good look!"

After saying that, a certain coconut goat was about to lift someone's clothes to check.

"Don't, don't, don't!"

"There are people everywhere!"

Jiang Yan hurriedly grabbed Ganyu's restless little hands.

The people nearby didn't speak, just looking at them with smiles.

Ganyu was also worried, not caring about the surrounding environment.

When she realized, her little face turned red, and she sat there, lowering her head and pretending to be a quail.

After three rounds of drinks, the tipsy Jiang Yan saw Ganyu sitting there alone eating vegetarian food and leaned over with a grin.

"It's a great banquet, eat something else."

A trace of desire flashed in Ganyu's eyes, but in the end, she shook her head. ===== CHAPTER 46 =====
