Chapter 748

Ah Yan-yue took a deep breath, a solemn expression in her eyes.

"The Silent Forest can no longer hold back the invasion of the filth?"

Alita asked, somewhat anxiously.

"No, the Silent Forest's isolation against the filth is still effective."

"But a monster has broken through the Silent Forest's defenses."

Ah Yan-yue said, her tone solemn.

And Jiang Yan was quietly staring at the black qi above the sky.

This black qi was not the kind that drifted in from the outside.

It was black qi originating from within a Demon God!

So a Demon God had invaded this place.

"Then what should we do?"

Hearing this, Alita immediately grew anxious.

"It's fine, we have the Moon God's protection. The other side shouldn't be able to break through the defenses here so easily."

Gazing at the glowing white barrier above the sky, although Ah Yan-yue spoke these words, there was a hint of uncertainty in her tone.

"That thing outside, leave it to me."

At that moment, behind the two of them, Jiang Yan suddenly spoke.

Ah Yan-yue and Alita both turned to look behind them at the same time.

"Mr. Xiaobai, you're willing to act?"

Alita's eyes suddenly lit up.

If Mr. Jiang Xiaobai was willing to act, then the predicament before them would no longer be a predicament for them.

And Ah Yan-yue said nothing, only a hint of thought in her eyes.

She did not know whether she could trust the man before her.

But looking at her daughter's appearance, it didn't seem like she was lying.

"Mr. Xiaobai, this is our first meeting, so please forgive my distrust of your strength."

Ah Yan-yue was silent for a moment, then opened her mouth to speak:

"I cannot open the Moon God's protection over the tribe for you. I must be responsible for the tribe's people."

"Mother!"

Alita looked toward Ah Yan-yue.

"Say no more, Alita. This is my choice. If Mr. Xiaobai feels angered by this, I am very sorry."

Ah Yan-yue spoke, her tone very decisive.

Hearing Ah Yan-yue's words, Jiang Yan laughed.

A chieftain who is quite responsible for her own tribe, indeed.

As Liyue's former Tianquan, Jiang Yan, who had once been a ruler, could naturally understand Ah Yan-yue's current feelings.

Being irresponsible toward one's own people is, for a ruler, a failure.

At least now, in Jiang Yan's heart, this chieftain named Ah Yan-yue was a qualified leader.

As for whether she could later maintain this view in Jiang Yan's heart, that would depend on Ah Yan-yue's performance.

"Don't worry, there's no need to open this so-called Moon God's protection you speak of."

Jiang Yan spoke.

The Moon God's protection... should refer to one of the Three Moon Goddesses, right?

Jiang Yan already had a rough idea in his heart.

This tribe likely worshipped one of the Three Moon Goddesses, who had already fallen.

"No need to open the protection?"

This time, both Ah Yan-yue and Alita were stunned at the same time.

They did not understand the meaning in Jiang Yan's words.

"But if you don't open the protection, how will you defeat that monster outside?"

Regarding Alita's question, Jiang Yan had no intention of explaining.

He merely smiled slightly.

"Just watch."

"If this kind of trash isn't even worthy of me going out personally to fight it—"

As Jiang Yan spoke, the Infinity Stone on the back of his hand glowed faintly for a moment.

"ROAR!!!"

From above the sky, a shrill, anguished howl rang out, and immediately after, a flash of blue light swept past.

The commotion outside gradually faded away.

Thud!

The sound of a massive object falling.

The head of a giant bird fell from the sky, blocked by the glowing white barrier, and slid down.

Alita and Ah Yan-yue both saw it clearly—the terror in the eyes of that giant bird's head was as if it had encountered something terrifying.
