Chapter 128 : The Burning Flames!!

As Nie Li continued his refining to the God Growth category, Lee after three hours even though he said an hour or so managed to finish all the pills possible that he had in his recipes...

Originally he wanted to refine only the basics but then he thought if he starts a Clan why not go higher than that??

All in all, he managed to refine around 500.000 batches from the materials he had that gave him around 3-20 pills each batch...

This meant he had a range of 1.500.000 million to 10.000.000 pills...

Honestly speaking the reason it took him so long was that he needed to refine them first through the Alchemy interface he had on his own and then auto refines them...

That did truly took him an hour to do so, but as he kept looking in his recipes he notices a few pills were capable to be refined again with other materials for pills that even Heavenly Axis Rank could take...

And that was if his understanding of what was said in the recipe was true...

Therefore he had decided to go at it as they will be useful to him...

Finishing everything up, Lee got up and left from there as he went to find Yang Xin and all the miserable people leaving in this place that had gathered up upon his call...

It didn't take much time to reach on the courtyard...

When he did so, he saw around 1000 people, where many of them were skinny, other sickly pale, others unable to take a few steps and crawled on the ground and many more...

Soon he spotted, Yang Xin with Raphtalia-chan who was pouting for being late making him smile wryly at her antics...

Lee : "Are these everyone living here??"

Yang Xin : "No, there were a few more, but their condition was far worse to be moved..."

Lee : "I see..."

Lee : "Well then shall we begin??"

Everyone with half-dead eyes looked at the person in front of them who was looking down at them with sadness in his eyes and started hearing him speak up...

Lee : "Greetings... Heroes of the City..."

Lee : "My name is Xiaolin Lee... I'm here today because i have seen the blood and sweat you have thrown for your families, for your loved ones..."

Lee : "In order to protect them you have reduced yourself into this state... Although many of you have reached this point because of families have fallen to the Beast Hordes."

Lee : "Nevertheless, you are people i'm proud to select for being my new family..."

Everyone listened to him and couldn't help but feel myriads of emotions, sadness, anger, disappointment, regrets, despair, confusion and many more...

They did all that was said and how did the city treat them?? Like Garbages!!! Trashes!!! Dogs!! Left to die in this filthy place not knowing when to die!!!

Just as they heard the last phrase of Lee and was about to continue he heard a hoarse voice...

??? : "Go..... B-back...."

Lee : "Huh??"

??? : "Go.... B-ack... W-we... don't need... pity... from people...... who.... left us to die... here... Cough!! Cough!! Cough!! Cough!!"

Lee : "Huh?? What did you just say now??"

??? : "Like i....said... Cough!! Cough!! Cough!!"

Lee : "I heard it the first time... What i meant are you seriously saying i left you to die here???"

Seeing him coughing but still managing to nod his head as well as countless glares from others who still had some light in them to show it, Lee was incredibly pissed right now...

Lee : "First of all... I'm someone who has come from outside the walls as i travelled with my master for a long time..."

Lee : "Second of all i can see now why you people were abandoned....."

??? : "Huh??"

Lee : "If i abandoned you as you claimed... What did you do in your prime about this place?? How many of you abandoned to this rotten ground eating them away??"

Many who wanted to voice out their own small complains swallowed their words back when they heard him saying that...

Lee : "If i am one of them then what am i doing here?? I am here because i can still see the fire burning in each of your eyes..."

Lee : "The fire called, I Want To Live!!"

True to his words everyone reacted with one way or another, many moved their heads, others twitched their eyes, others moved their eyes paying attention to what he had to say and many more paid attention to him...

Lee : "I want all of you to abandon your pasts... And from today forward you will be under my name... A name that will create a new family, with veterans such as yourselves..."

Lee : "Making sure that the city is safe and no other people has to suffer the fate you have currently living in..."

Lee spoke with seriousness in his voice as he truly wanted to recruit them and help them reach their prime and beyond that...

Hearing that he is willing to take them in and fight for the city and the people that will end up in their own fate they are currently facing, eventually made theirs flash with many emotions...

Lee saw them struggling at the path layed out in front of them and just as he wanted to say more he heard another voice coming from somewhere far behind...

???? : "Are..... you.... asking us.... to fight..... in this..... state??"

Lee : "I never said anything about letting you fight in this state... None of you knows but i'm an Alchemist..."

Lee : "I invested a lot of resources to help you and in turn become my family..."

Lee : "Many of you will be restored to your peak, many will surpass it and others will reach realms unknown to you..."

Lee : "I want to create a home, where everyone can feel the warmth of it..."

Lee : "I want to create a place your kids can grow up!!!"

Lee : "Though i say all that... Unfortunately, i'm alone... I can't do shit without all of you!!!

Lee : "Glory City and the countless families that have perished only wished to create something for everyone to survive and they gave up their lives to save their loved ones..."

Lee : "Aren't you guys the same?? Aren't you guys holders of those beliefs??"

Lee : "But without your help, it will not be a home for those that need it... It will be simply a rotten graveyard..."

Lee finished speaking and saw their eye shining with flames in them, even those dazed dead eyes long closed to the world flickered with fire...

Lee : "Therefore... Stand up!!! And FIGHT!!!!!"

ALL : "Oooooooohhhh!!!!!!"

Lee : "For a Better Place!!!!"

ALL : "Oooooooohhhh!!!!!!"
