Chapter 2594: Ice Flame Continent 52

Editor: Henyee Translations

Why did she make such a regrettable choice back then?

She held her father partially accountable; after all, he endorsed Kang Yan under the belief that it was a good decision. Why else would he have chosen him?

Now, Ziluo found Kang Yan intolerable.

Aside from his constant anger, he exhibited an overwhelming paranoia. Suspicion seemed to pervade every aspect of his being, leaving others uncertain of his true thoughts.

Ultimately, his lack of capability fueled his distrust in others.

Thus, Ziluo felt it imperative for her father to heed her counsel this time. Not doing so would be a grave mistake.

She refused to be ensnared by such decisions again.

Descending ahead of her father, Ziluo awaited his plans for the future. If the True Martial Race were to thrive, she believed choosing Kang s.h.i.+ was paramount.

Pills served as the cornerstone of a cultivator’s strength.

In the ensuing days, the True Martial Race maintained a conspicuous silence, with Ziluo absent from the scene.

The First Elder and Kang Yan grew anxious, unaware of the unfolding developments. Their initial intent was to swiftly join forces with the True Martial Race before matters escalated.

However…

No word from Ziluo reached them. Her intentions remained a mystery.

The duo wandered through the Anicca Race in a state of bewilderment. The First Elder, being older and more composed, handled the situation with relative calm. In contrast, Kang Yan, inherently less composed, found his agitation exacerbated by the lack of information. His temper, already on edge, now vented onto others he encountered. Ironically, this only drove people away further.

Well…

In the past, within the Anicca Race, the only influential figures were the First Elder and Kang Yan. However, the current scenario had s.h.i.+fted. With Kang s.h.i.+’s elevated cultivation level, he stood poised for significant accomplishments within the clan. Drawing close to him now seemed more beneficial. Besides the potential access to pills, Kang s.h.i.+’s amiable disposition made him approachable. Even without pills, he willingly offered guidance when questioned. Naturally, people gravitated towards such individuals.

Unaware of the repercussions of his actions, Kang Yan believed his status permitted such behavior.

The First Elder, however, paid little heed to this. The turning point came with Ziluo’s return.

As Ziluo reentered the Anicca Race, the First Elder promptly brought her aside. “Ziluo, what did your father say? Our forces are prepared. We only await your father’s cooperation. With a united front, I believe we can swiftly resolve the matter.”

The First Elder inquired eagerly.

“My father suggested that, given the current situation, we shouldn’t rush things. We need to proceed cautiously and make decisions based on the unfolding circ.u.mstances,” Ziluo relayed.

The First Elder regarded Ziluo with surprise.

For the past two days, he a.s.sumed the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race was a.s.sembling manpower. After enduring the prolonged wait, this was the outcome?

“I am not seeking hasty success. Over time, as everyone acknowledges Kang s.h.i.+’s cultivation through their reactions, the situation will naturally resolve itself.”

“…”

“Ziluo, at this rate, the day you become the wife of the Anicca Clan’s Clan Leader is drifting further away. Are you truly content with such a prospect?” The First Elder touched on Ziluo’s personal interests, seeking her opinion.
