Lin Zhan was stunned after hearing the young Taoist's words, "Holy crap, you understand things pretty well."
"Never mind researching such matters. We're destined to have no part in finding mistresses in this lifetime. Speaking of which, how did your business go?"
The young Taoist handed Lin Zhan the storage bag that Rommel had given him:
"It's all here, big brother. 500 King-tier crystal cores, 30 Emperor-tier crystal cores. As for soul pearls, there are only 100 King-tier soul pearls and 10 Emperor-tier soul pearls."
He then took out another 5 Emperor-tier crystal cores:
"Big brother, these are from the three brothers of the Tie family who extorted 5 Emperor-tier beings. They also had Patriarch Xuan Shang capture a beast emperor from the Lionmen race alive, saying they would save it for the next sacrifice."
"Oh, and big brother, I made Rommel so angry he coughed up blood and fainted."
Lin Zhan was surprised: "What did you say to make that silly deer cough up blood? I remember that kid has a thick skin. He didn't commit suicide last time I captured him alive, he actually whined and kept on living."
"It's not my fault. Who told that child to be so petty? Rommel kept getting angry, saying they always had to pay us money, and we never paid them. Then I thought it was a bit embarrassing, so I compensated her with one Silver-tier crystal core, and then he vomited blood and fainted."
Lin Zhan nodded and said:
"This is all standard procedure, there's nothing wrong with it. He's just being too petty himself. This isn't your fault, it's his own inability to handle things." [This is a reference to a Chinese website and should be omitted.]
"But he deserved it. Who told him he knew I was running out of time and spent all day mocking me."
While Lin Zhan and the young Taoist were gossiping about Rommel.
Far away in the Blood Race plane, Yu Longyan was carefully observing the blood essence refined by the Shennong clan and the first batch of Qi and Blood Pills.
Yu Longyan directly threw a Qi and Blood Pill into his mouth, slowly savoring its medicinal properties.
"What grade of blood essence was used to refine this batch of Qi and Blood Pills?"
"Replying to Elder Yan, this batch of Qi and Blood Pills was refined using Platinum-tier Blood Race members. Theoretically, they can be consumed by Platinum-tier human warriors, but the greatest benefit is for Golden-tier human warriors."
"Furthermore, it can satisfy the physical conditions for human warriors to advance to Platinum-tier within a month."
Yu Longyan nodded and said, "Guards, relay the order to the entire army. Refine 70% of all Blood Race members above Golden-tier into blood essence. Expedite the process."
"Yes, sir."
As the army's banner waved, countless heads fell. Since ancient times, compassion has never governed troops, nor righteousness, wealth.
Upon receiving Yu Longyan's command, the Huaxia Emperors, leading the Xuanbird Army, began their slaughter.
In just three days, for a Blood Race with more than ten Blood Emperors and a hundred Kings, over 70% of the Blood Race members above Golden-tier were massacred by Huaxia.
"Uncle Yan, we left two Blood Emperors and ten Kings for the Blood Race. The remaining 30% of Golden-tier and above Blood Race members are still alive. As for the Silver and Bronze Blood Race members, not many died."
Da Yu walked into the main tent, his body filled with killing intent, and said to Yu Longyan.
Yu Longyan nodded and said, "This matter with the Blood Race will be resolved in the next few days. According to Zhan'er's plan, we will attack the Lizardmen race. No one from the entire race will be spared; they will all be annihilated."
Da Yu grinned and said:
"The Lizardmen race has two Imperial-tier beings. Although they are not Great Emperors, their strength should not be underestimated. Even though the power of destiny in the heavens cannot satisfy the resurrection of beings above the Imperial-tier, if we truly destroy the Lizardmen, we will definitely awaken these two old monsters, and they will fight us to the death."
Yu Longyan pondered for a moment and said:
"Tang of Shang, when he unleashes his full power, he can fight an Imperial-tier being with the help of the Desolate Elephant. Ren Huang Kuafu, when he reveals his true form, can fight an Imperial-tier being. I can hold off one Imperial-tier being, but I probably can't kill it. How are you and Hou Yi recovering?"
Da Yu said with a bitter smile:
"Our strength is now less than a tenth of what it was. We were too heavily injured in the ancient battle. Our main bloodlines are still sealed in the Classic of Mountains and Seas for recuperation. Relying on this bloodline clone, I can only deal with some foundational beings. Facing an Imperial-tier is truly impossible."
Yu Longyan's brow furrowed and said, "Tang of Shang and Ren Huang Kuafu will inevitably become Great Emperors of the Human Race in the future. It would be too detrimental to injure their foundation for mere Lizardmen."
Da Yu also became serious and said, "Indeed. Then what should we do?"
"What else can we do? Let Ren Huang Kuafu help me contain one Imperial-tier being, and after I kill one, I'll help him surround and kill the other." Tang of Shang walked in, his blood and qi surging.
Seeing the questioning looks from Yu Longyan and Da Yu, Tang of Shang said again:
"Destroying another race was a command from my ancestor. Zhan'er, after careful consideration, decided it would be the Lizardmen race. This is also to withdraw the Sixth Army Group."
Yu Longyan's gaze sharpened, and he said sternly to Tang of Shang, "Are you that confident? This is no joke."
Tang of Shang nodded and said:
"It's fine. They are just two Imperial-tier beings who have just awakened. Moreover, the external situation is not conducive to Imperial-tier beings making a move, so I still have a great chance. And Ancestor Ming's four heavy armored guards have already awakened. If necessary, they can cooperate with Elder Yan to have a chance to kill an Imperial-tier being of the Lizardmen race."
Upon hearing Tang of Shang's words, Da Yu quickly said:
"Since Xuan Shang and his three brothers are awake, with their cooperation with Uncle Yan, it's truly possible to kill one Imperial-tier being. Moreover, Elder Yan's Black Dragon God-Slaying Spear also needs to taste blood again."
Yu Longyan nodded and smiled, "Since you've all decided, then we'll attack the Lizardmen. This time, we old guys will continue to play supporting roles. The protagonists should still be left to these youngsters."
"Then let's mobilize the new legions that Zhan'er has just formed. And mobilize the Zhen Lei, Xun Feng, and Bai Zhan legions, along with the Killing God Army of Ren Wang Dian led by Bai Qi. What do you think?"
Da Yu pondered for a moment and then spoke.
Yu Longyan nodded and said:
"That's fine. The new legions Zhan'er formed were based on these three legions. This time, it's a good opportunity to train them. Bring all those young ones along as well, let them experience the battlefield by fighting the Lizardmen."
Tang of Shang also agreed, saying:
"Tasks of exterminating a race and wiping out its population are best left to Zhan'er and that kid Bai Qi. This time it's a medium-sized race, which should satisfy Bai Qi's appetite. Otherwise, he'll keep complaining that he doesn't take on small jobs."
After speaking, Tang of Shang sent the information from their conversation through the Xuanbird to Lin Zhan.
Lin Dashao, who was still chatting with the young Taoist in Gaowu, suddenly felt the vibration of his Xuanbird communication pendant and quickly inputted his bloodline power.
The young Taoist, Zhang Haoming, looked at Lin Dashao with a strange expression and couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong, big brother? You're making a face like you're constipated."
Lin Zhan snapped back to attention and said to the young Taoist:
"These old guys want me to consolidate the troops and prepare to attack the Lizardmen, and they want me to team up with Ancestor Bai Qi to do some extermination and annihilation work."
The young Taoist was stunned, then nodded and said, "Isn't this your usual line of work? Then let's do it."
