After the incident of the Beast Control sect's attack was over, Xiang Xiaofang and Lin Yan returned to Elena's side. While the attack was taking place in the city she was busy rescuing the people whom Lin Yan and Xiang Xiaofang failed to save.

Even though Elena was not the type of person to go out of her way to save people, but if there is something she could do to help people in need and that would not get in her way, then she would definitely do her best to save those people.

After coming back to the Spring Soaring park, Lin Yan and Xiang Xiaofang found the park to be completely intact. They had seen many monsters heading this way and in that situation, keeping the park intact was proof of Elena's capabilities.

After seeing Elena relaxing in one of the benches, both of them came toward and reported the situation. They also told her the results of their own venture.

Lin Yan had managed to slay a total of 12 monsters even with his low level of strength, and among those monsters, he had managed to kill one 4 of them completely alone. He also mentioned that, after today's battle he had understood the limitation of his strength and his desire to grow stronger had become insanely high.

On the other hand, Xiang Xiaofang's results were way more impressive than Lin Yan. He managed to kill close to a hundred monsters and some of the monsters even died by the after shock of his attacks. So he was not sure how many he had killed. Among the monsters he had killed, 6 were A rank. That was definitely an impressive number and Xiaofang was proud of his ability and was giving a smug smile to Lin Yan.

"Hmm, hearing your results I have to say that I'm quite disappointed. There were a total of 343 monsters participating in the attack. And Xiaofang and Yun'er, the mission I gave to you was to save as many common people as possible. Not to count the amount of monsters you two managed to kill."

Hearing Elena saying that both Lin Yan and Xiang Xiaofang lowered their heads. In the middle of battle excitement, they had completely forgotten what Elena had said to them before.

"Now, let me tell you the actual results of this mission. First, Xiang Xiaofang, as a saint rank powerhouse you managed to save a total of 1045 people. This city had a population of about one hundred and fifty thousand, so you managed to save 0.7 percent of the population. Now tell me, is that a proud result for a Saint rank martial artist like you ?"

Xiang Xiaofang was so ashamed that he felt like vanishing. After he was able to move his body the way he wanted, he became way too excited and had forgotten his real purpose for participating in this attack.

"As for Lin Yan, you did not have the required strength to face this type of attack alone. So you tried to co-operate with the soldiers of the city who were already trying to save the citizens and tried to help them as much as you could.

But in the heat of battle, you forget that you should not prioritise killing the monsters and instead should have tried to help as many helpless citizens as you can. But even then you managed to save a total of 7767 people. And that would be 5.178 of the total population."

Lin Yan had to show a diverse range of expressions while hearing Elena explaining his results. At first he was happy, then sad and finally happy and surprised. He did not even imagine that his little effort would be able to save so many lives. That was very gratifying for Lin Yan.

"Now, from the results, it is evident that Yan'er performed way better than Xiaofang. Even though his level was lower, he gave his best so he was able to save many lives. This was a failure on your end, Xiaofang. So learn from it and don't make the same mistakes again."

Then she gave an encouraging smile to both of them that directly hit their hearts as currently Elena was in her real super duper beautiful looks. And that was the end of that day's practice. Elena told Xiang Xiaofang to get familiar with the custom made technique that she had given him and dismissed him. Then they went to their own inns.

...

The next day, it was finally time for Lin Yan to get his weaker axe. Even though the city leader was killed, Kun Luohuang was able to calm the situation down easily with his excellent management skills. So the life of the common population did not change much. Elena had also taken some special care of the smithy so it was more or less intact. So there should be no problem with the delivery of the weapon.

Elena and Lin Yan first met up with Xiang Xiaofang. Then three of them went to the smithy together. After seeing them, the blacksmith who was in charge of creating the axe for Lin Yan welcomed him very warmly.

He was almost treating both Elena in the form of Lin Yun and Lin Yan like VIPs. On the other hand, they did not have the same amount of respect toward Xiang Xiaofang, who looked to the strongest among them from a normal point of view.

After asking around a bit, they realised that Lin Yan was getting this treatment because all the citizens of the Nine Rings City had noticed him doing his best to protect their lives. Seeing a young child of only 12 years old risking him life made them feel very indebted toward him.

Not only that, but the lives the Lin Yan had saved included relatives for many citizens. He also always encouraged the common people to run away and almost became a beacon of hope for the common population. For that reason, Lin Yan became the hero to the common population of Nine Rings City.

Normally, the weapon that the blacksmith had created for Lin Yan was a normal high quality item. But after seeing that his customer was such a brave little axe master, he worked for the whole night to modify the already created axe to make it into his best work so far.

It was still a low level equipment matching Lin Yan's own level, but among the low level equipment it was one of the best. So, Lin Yan was extremely happy with his new axe.

...

After they left the smithy, Xiang Xiaofang found himself in trouble. The supreme elder of the Hell's Paradise sect, Kun Luohuang did not take Xiang Xiaofang's belittling behaviour lightly. He felt offended that Xiaofang did not help him and blamed him for his disciple's death. So he wanted to arrest and torture him in order to soothe his dead disciple's soul.

So he had brought 5 elders of the Hell's Paradise sect and all of them were Grandmaster rank powerhouses even though they were not as strong as Kun Luohuang himself. And currently they were surrounding Elena's group from all sides to arrest them.

Xiang Xiaofang was very angry about the situation. In his opinion he did nothing wrong but these low lives were finding trouble for him. Not only that but they had the audacity for underestimating him and sending only these few weaklings in order to catch him. That was hilarious and very insulting to Xiang Xiaofang.

But Elena stopped him from getting too violent. He had the capability to kill all the elders confronting him within minutes, but Elena had seen that two of the elders who were facing off against them were genuinely good people and had not done anything too vile that would require his death sentence. So she was unwilling to get them killed for no reason.

So she said Xiang Xiaofang to not kill the elders. Instead she asked him to immobilize them without killing them. The power difference between them was so massive that doing what Elena told him to do was very easy.

Xiang Xiaofang moved so fast that he left behind after images and knocked all the elders unconscious instantly. Then he asked Elena what should be their next step as he was sure that the supreme elder was not going to stop targeting him.

For a high and mighty person like him, the opinion of the common population was insignificant. So even if the people of the Nine Rings City supported Lin Yan, he would still be hunted down if the supreme elder said so.

There was only a single option left for them if they did not want to destroy the whole city and kill a bunch of more people. So Elena's group decided to take the only option left for them and they immediately left the city to go far away from the areas that were under the influence of the Hell's Paradise sect.

And that's how Elena, Lin Yan and Xiang Xiaofang were forced to leave the city before their planned timing.
