Chapter 447: Chapter 443: Decision

August, the 4th

The day before the flood, the vast Xiling was already desolate, even the once bustling Golden Avenue was now quiet.

However, most clans still harbored the idea of returning to their lives in Xiling once the flood subsided, hence, they sent warriors to patrol near their territories, out of fear of malicious vagabonds starting fires.

It could be said that the chiefs of the smaller clans had an optimistic attitude towards the flood. They lacked a clear understanding of the fact that the Longjiang had changed its course to the Lingjiang.

The surrounding mountains of Xiling had all been occupied by the clans, but the earth mounds and rock mountains were not permanent settlement places. Landslides were the most common collapse phenomenon during a flood. A large flood could wash away many sharp places on huge mountains due to its massive impact, causing the outer rock layers to crack and separate. Even some small mountains could be completely washed away by the flood amidst relentless landslides.

Therefore, there were probably three places in the entirety of Xiling that could truly be regarded as safe mountain ranges. One of them was the Tang Clan’s mountains north of Xiling. A hundred miles of mountain range could easily hide millions of people, but the towering and magnificent North Mountain which had stood for thousands of years since ancient times was the territory of the Fox Demon clan.

The second was located ten kilometers south of Xiling, two mountains, Yelu and Changze, run continuously for dozens of miles. Their slopes were home to the Mi Clan’s core South Ridge Beast Valley. Even though it couldn’t accommodate all of Xiling’s population, it could still reasonably contain a million people if it was crowded.

The third was Red Cloud Mountain, directly to the east of Xiling. Although its area was the smallest, this natural mineral mountain formed by Red Cloud Crystal was probably the most solid among the three. In the face of the overwhelming flood, this should be the place least affected.

Besides these three peaks, there were numerous isolated peaks, dangerous ridges, and cliffs around Xiling. Although there were plenty, at most, they could only accommodate tens of thousands of people.

the noble families with tens of thousands as their unit of count had to seek refuge in one of the three locations. But no one dared to make this decision first. Even with the leading example of the four major clans, the various chiefs of Xiling
