Chapter 42: Five Yakshas

Above the sky, countless rock spears materialized, standing around Morax, while a massive star hung suspended in the heavens, awaiting its summon.

Morax's words, cold and laced with killing intent, caused some of the Demon Gods who had hoped to play the oriole to retreat.

Though they did not know whether that youth named Wood Spirit Immortal still possessed the strength to fight, the Morax before them was undeniably at his peak.

They were not so foolish as to be stubborn.

As several auras fled into the distance, Morax waved his hand to disperse the rock spears and used the stones to gently set Jiang Yan down on the ground.

"Truly a reckless boy."

Azhdaha walked over, looking at the somewhat weakened Jiang Yan and the devastated Huazhou, and sighed as he spoke.

"How about it, Azhdaha? Wasn't my Great Buddha cool?"

With the war over, Jiang Yan returned to his usual carefree demeanor, looking nothing like the person who had stood atop the Great Buddha.

"Powerful!"

Azhdaha's evaluation was always so direct.

"Hahaha."

Jiang Yan chuckled.

"So, how do you plan to deal with these few here?"

Morax manipulated a giant hand of rock to drag the five remaining Yakshas over.

Gazing at the five familiar Yakshas before him, a thought flashed through Jiang Yan's eyes, and he suddenly felt a sigh welling up.

Is this fate?

To survive beneath the Great Buddha of Transformation, and to be exactly these five people.

These five before him were precisely the five Yakshas from his past life's preview video.

Indrabhuti, Vajra, Xiao, Muni, and Yanda!

Especially when he saw that short, green-haired youth.

Xiao Bao!

Uh... he does seem a bit short...

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

"Your Excellency, what do you think?"

"This is your victory; you handle it."

Morax handed the decision over to Jiang Yan.

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

Jiang Yan extended his hand, and amidst the terrified gazes of the five Yakshas, five slender branches shot out from his palm.

They gently pierced their arms.

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

It served to alleviate their critical, near-fatal injuries.

The Yakshas looked at Jiang Yan with shocked expressions.

Morax and Azhdaha said nothing, watching silently.

"The Yaksha clan attacked the Millelith; though you were controlled by the Dream Demon God, in my eyes, you should have died!"

Jiang Yan's calm voice reached the ears of all the Yakshas.

"But your Yaksha clan was also destroyed by me during the war; now, only the five of you remain."

"Our grievances cancel each other out."

"Will you five join the Millelith and serve Your Excellency?"

The Yakshas exchanged glances.

They nodded almost simultaneously.

They had witnessed the combat power of Jiang Yan and Morax with their own eyes.

They were far stronger than that Dream Demon God!

Their old master was dead; they, his retainers, though controlled, now had nowhere else to go.

Joining Morax's ranks was not a bad choice.

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

"The rest is up to you."

Morax let out a light sigh: "You are quite good at finding work for me."

His words carried a tone of playful teasing.

With the Yakshas joining, Morax was naturally willing.

Morax had long heard of the Yaksha clan's combat power; they were beings comparable to Immortals.

Having them join the Millelith would undoubtedly greatly strengthen the Millelith's fighting capability.

"You five, I am Morax. Since you wish to join my ranks, you must sign a contract with me..."

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

"The contract is sealed; those who eat rock shall be punished by rock!"

With the contract established, the five Yakshas officially joined Morax's faction.

"Golden Winged"

"Yanda"

"Indrabhuti"

"Vajra"

"Mighty Wrath."

"Greetings, Archon. Greetings, Immortal." *5

The five Yakshas, freed from their stone bonds by Morax, could now barely move under Jiang Yan's healing; they knelt on one knee.

"Rise."

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

"Your Qianyan Army has indeed gained a great boon."

"Hey, hey, hey! What's wrong with my Qianyan Army? They are strong, you know! Even Chi and the others have acknowledged them!"
