Chapter 1073: Cannot Reinforce

Wang Man looked at the situation below; even he, for a moment, didn't know how to respond.

The Human Race's strength is strong now, but it's still far from being strong enough to contend with all races.

Just as Wang Man was pondering, the Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán suddenly lit up; after connecting, only Yu Mo was seen anxiously saying.

"Junior Brother, the Spirit Race sent news that the Ancient Tribe is coming your way."

Hearing that, Wang Man didn't change much, gave a bitter laugh and said.

"I'm afraid it's not just the Ancient Tribe."

"What's going on?"

Yu Mo suddenly had a bad feeling, wondering what Wang Man's words meant; hearing that, Wang Man also didn't hide anything, speaking frankly.

"Our ancestral land is now surrounded by all races; I fear the other great hegemons have already secretly joined forces, aiming to exterminate my Human Race."

"This.................",

Upon hearing that, Yu Mo was stunned.

If the other Five Great Hegemonic Clans join forces, that basically means the Human Race would have to oppose all races in the Haotu world alone?

How could that be possible?

Although the Human Race also has its own Sub Tribe, don't forget they have theirs too; the Five Great Hegemonic Clans joining forces have almost covered over sixty percent of the races in the Haotu world.

The remaining neutral races basically can't change anything, and they absolutely dare not intervene.

The struggles between hegemonic clans—how could they interfere?

Moreover, it's the Five Great Hegemonic Clans joining forces to deal with the Human Race together.

After a moment of grim contemplation, soon Yun Xiantai, Qi Xiong, Yun Luo Shèngzhǔ and the other old ancestors rushed over; it seemed they had already stopped their actions over there.

Indeed, the home is about to be lost; now who has the mood to worry about other things? Moreover, the Five Great Hegemonic Clans joining forces is no small matter.

"A bunch of bastards, when did they all gang up?"

"What should we do now?"

"Let's reinforce; the ancestral land must not be lost—if worse comes to worst, we'll fight them to the death."

The old ancestors' first thought was to reinforce; as for the Ancient Tribe, that's definitely been abandoned.

First preserve our own ancestral land, then talk.

But just as the old ancestors decided to reinforce, Ye Zhangqing beside Wang Man suddenly said.

"Cannot reinforce."

"Huh??? Changqing kid, what do you mean?"

The old ancestors didn't understand; not reinforcing now would be like handing over the ancestral land—how could that be acceptable?

The ancestral land is the foundation of a race; without fortune, the Human Race can't even develop—it will likely decline soon.

Facing the old ancestors' doubts, Ye Zhangqing said with a serious expression.

"Cannot reinforce; reinforcing is a dead end. Esteemed old ancestors, assuming the other Five Great Hegemonic Clans really joined forces, even if you reinforced now, would you really have confidence to hold the ancestral land?"

"This..........."

Ye Zhangqing's question left the old ancestors silent; do they have confidence? Obviously not.

Leaving other things aside, the gap in Great Emperor Realm is already too large.

The Five Great Hegemonic Clans, even if the Demon Race has been crippled, combined, the number of Great Emperor old ancestors is at least over fifty.

As for the Human Race, at most thirteen people; this gap leaves no hope—no chance of victory whatsoever.

Although during this period many have broken through to the Great Saint Realm from the Three Holy Lands, yet not a single newly promoted Great Emperor exists.

No way, we need time.

Seeing the old ancestors silent, Ye Zhangqing continued.

"So even if we reinforced, it would be useless; moreover, the enemy might hope we reinforce, then they could wipe us out in one fell swoop."

Ye Zhangqing's words are not without reason; this is also exactly what the other Five Great Hegemonic Clans think, only they don't yet know that inside the Human Race's ancestral land, there are hardly any people at all.

Upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, the old ancestors calmed down; Qi Xiong asked.

"Then according to your idea, what should we do now?"

"Abandon the ancestral land."

Ye Zhangqing said without hesitation.

"What?"

Just as those words came out, the old ancestors were shocked—abandon the ancestral land? That's not just being uprooted by others.

The old ancestors completely couldn't believe Ye Zhangqing would say that; but since he said it, he naturally has his reasons.

"Esteemed old ancestors, looking at the current situation, the ancestral land can only become a burden."

"If the ancestral land remains, we're effectively trapped here, and the Five Great Hegemonic Clans would love to see that outcome."

"Now the ancestral land, to us, is nothing but an encumbrance."

"But without the ancestral land, a race's fortune..........."

"I didn't say completely abandon it, just temporarily."

"The Five Great Hegemonic Clans joining forces, head‑on we're surely no match; and now that they've all gathered at our Human Race ancestral land, we might as well give them the ancestral land."

"I think their rear must be empty now; they took our ancestral land, so perhaps we can also................"

"Huh???"

As Ye Zhangqing's words sank in, the old ancestors gradually came to realize, their eyes brightening.

"This idea is not bad; if we can't win head‑on, then let's hide and fight."

"I don't want the ancestral land; I'll give you the Fortune Golden Dragon too, but your ancestral land probably doesn't have many people either—let's swap ancestral lands, I won't lose out."

"Moreover, without the ancestral land's restraint, frankly, everyone's room to maneuver is greater."

By then, even if the Five Great Hegemonic Clans wanted to strike at the Human Race, they'd have to be able to find them first, right?

This is just like the mountain bandits and outlaws of those ordinary dynasties.

Their strength is clearly inferior to the dynasty's, yet the dynasty would find it very difficult to wipe them out—why is that?

Because they have no fixed abode; if we can't beat them, I just dive into the mountains—even if you have hundreds of thousands of troops, what can you do to me?

I make the four seas my home, robbing wherever I go—what can your court do to me?

Put simply, it's just one principle; therefore, Ye Zhangqing would say that, given the current situation, the ancestral land is just a burden—better to abandon it than to cling to it.

Once the ancestral land's shackles are gone, won't it be like 'high skies allow birds to fly, wide seas let fish leap'?

With the Human Race's abilities, when the time comes to find an opportunity and defeat them each in turn, it's not impossible to break the situation.

But the premise is that this ancestral land cannot be defended; it can only be abandoned.

"But...... if we don't come back, what are you going to do?"

At this moment, the Jade Pool Shèngzhǔ asked, they have no problem, but what about Ye Zhangqing, Wang Man, and the others?

The ancestral land is now completely surrounded by the various clans on all sides; trying to break out is nearly impossible, and if no one comes to their aid, Ye Zhangqing and his group would have no way out.

Hearing that, Qi Xiong and the others furrowed their brows again—yeah, what are Ye Zhangqing and them to do?

But Ye Zhangqing himself had no worries about this, grinning and speaking mysteriously.

"Don't worry, I and my Third Shī xiōng have already prepared."

"Prepared?"

"Third Shī xiōng? Who? That kid Xu Jie?"

"What have you two prepared? How come we don't know anything?"
