Spring and autumn came and went. Another ten years passed.
In the Assembly Hall of Heavenly King City, the leaders of the tribes were discussing among themselves. Some people seemed to have different opinions and actually started to argue loudly.
The king of the Heaven Ghoul Race, Feng Zhe, sat there with a cold expression. He allowed the people below to argue without making a sound.
Elder Sui Qingjian looked up and wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't.
What the clans were arguing about was that the Heavenly Ghost clans had been attacked by demonic insects in the Western Desolate Domain. Many small clans had been destroyed, and the insect disaster had become more and more intense. Now, everywhere the insects passed, not even a blade of grass could be seen.
As a result, the tribes under Shocking Sky Mountain were restless and clamored to look after their clansmen. The tribes at the border of the two continents did not move. Not many were willing to cross the natural chasm and attack the cultivators of the Nine Continents.
This matter naturally reached Royal City. The tribes had different opinions on this matter. Some people suggested that the attacked tribes should be left alone for now and come back after the matter was dealt with.
But some people immediately objected. They thought that if this suggestion was made, the other tribes would follow suit. No one knew how long it would take to gather the tribes again.
Just like usual, they argued for an entire day without any results. When it was dusk, Feng Zhe stood up expressionlessly, turned around and left.
All the elders were startled for a moment before they dispersed resentfully.
Only the two elders, Sui Qingjian and He Chihuo, stayed. Not long after, attendants came to invite them.
The two went to the back of the hall and saw Feng Zhe sitting on the seat. They immediately went forward and saluted.
The Heaven Ghoul Race's leader waved his hand and said, "Elders, at ease. What do you think of the recent events?"
Sui Qingjian said angrily, "When one stands up, everyone follows suit. These are a group of selfish people. It was a mistake to give them land back then. “
Chihuo said coldly, "My king is too lenient towards the tribes. Chihuo thinks that we should use force. Kill a few of them, and the rest will be obedient. "
Feng Zhe said calmly, "The crux of all this is the cultivators of the Nine Continents. If we can destroy them, everything can be resolved. Since we've come this far, we have to keep going no matter what. "
Sui Qingjian and Chi Huo looked at each other and said at the same time, "We are willing to serve the king."
"Elders, please sit down and talk," said Lozhe. “
After the two of them sat down, he continued, "Our clansmen are short-sighted. We also need to make use of the benefits. "
In reality, the Western Absolute Territory was vast and boundless. Many Heavenly Ghost Tribes were not affected by the insect disaster, but their real purpose was to withdraw from Shocking Sky Mountain and not attack the Northern Cold Abyss, so they shouted together.
Some people even said that after so many years, the cultivators of the Nine Continents didn't come to fight, and the main division didn't make any effort. Instead, they sent these side branches to their deaths, and the patriarch just borrowed the power of the Heavenly Mandate. The true purpose of delaying this battle indefinitely was to seize the authority of the Heavenly Dao.
Everyone knew that this was stupid, the Ancestral Division was high above, naturally they would let their subordinates go first. But the tribes only needed an excuse to oppose, regardless of whether it was reasonable or not, and they allowed such words to spread among their subordinates.
Moreover, the matter of sacrificing tens of thousands of people for no reason was revealed by some people, from top to bottom, all the Heavenly Ghost Tribes were dissatisfied. If it wasn't for the deterrence from beyond the heavens and the Ancestral Division's control of the Million World Observation Tower, no one could resist them. If no one could resist, there would have been tribes making trouble.
Sui Qingjian said, "Does the king have any plans?"
Feng Zhe said calmly, "There are two urgent matters now. One is the disaster of the demonic insects, which must be caused by the cultivators of the Nine Continents. The other is that the tribes can't see any hope of victory, so they are delaying. "
Here, he paused for a moment and looked at the two, "Let's talk about the first matter first. Since the tribes can't solve the insect disaster, let the Ancestral Division take action and kill it. "
Chi Huo said, "That strange insect is extremely cunning, and as long as we don't capture the insect king, it will be useless against the insect demons."
Feng Zhe stimulated his blood energy and sand flew up, piling up into the shape of mountains and rivers in the Western Desolate Domain. He walked to the front, stretched out his hand and drew a circle, saying, "The insect king should be here. Our three tribes will each send two Beast Saints to keep an eye on it. We don't have to kill it, but it will be enough as long as it can't come out and cause trouble."
The two elders thought about it and agreed that it was a good idea. Previously, they were only thinking about how to eliminate the insect swarm, but now that they didn't have to do so, things became much simpler. Although some of their forces were restrained, it was still bearable for the thousands of tribes of Heavenly Ghost.
Seeing that the two elders didn't object, Feng Zhe said, "Let's talk about the second matter. The cultivators of the Nine Continents are very strong, and the person behind them is not simple either. No matter what we do, we can deal with them. Since we can't touch them, we can only change the opponent to open up the situation."
Sui Qingjian was puzzled, he asked, "King, who do you want to choose?"
Feng Zhe said, "There are two choices, the Hundred Nations of the Eastern Barren and the Heart Butterfly Tribe. These two tribes are allies of the cultivators of the Nine Continents, and they are not strong. It won't be difficult to defeat them, and it can also boost the tribe's morale."
Chi Huo's eyes suddenly turned cold, he said, "King, with the strength of our tribes, not to mention winning, it will be easy to destroy these two tribes."
Sui Qingjian frowned, "The Heart Butterfly Tribe is not strong, let alone them, the Hundred Nations of the Eastern Barren are vast, and I heard that the cultivators of the Nine Continents have made arrangements in the palaces. Moreover, the two tribes are in frequent contact. If I make a move here, the Northern Heaven Chill Abyss will not sit by and watch, it will also send help. It won't be easy to defeat them."
Chi Huo looked at Feng Zhe and said, "What do you think, King?"
Feng Zhe didn't say anything, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice, "The Hundred Nations of the Eastern Barren."
Sui Qingjian couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't know why King would choose the difficult one, he said, "Why the Hundred Nations of the Eastern Barren?"
Feng Zhe said, "Elder Sui Qingjian overlooked one thing, attacking the Heart Butterfly Tribe may not be easier than attacking the Hundred Nations of the Eastern Barren. Although they are weak, they are stronger than the Northern Heaven Chill Abyss. Although our tribe can go, once we are exposed, we will be targeted by the cultivators of the Nine Continents, and it will be difficult for us to come. Only the Beast Saints of the Ancestral Tribe can do this, but I can't afford such a loss now."
The two elders pondered for a while, and they nodded.
The six Beast Saints that were sacrificed to plant spies were chosen from the Ancestral Tribe.
Although there were many Beast Saints in the Ancestral Tribe, they were accumulated over thousands of years, and if one died, there would be one less Beast Saint. As the tribe leaders, they saw these Beast Saints as the precious wealth of their tribe, and it was painful to lose them like this.
Feng Zhe said, "The Hundred Nations of the Eastern Barren are different. Not to mention that they are far away from the Northern Heaven Chill Abyss, even if our tribe is in danger, we can retreat from the Hundred Southern Continent at any time, and we won't cut off our path of retreat."
Sui Qingjian said, "But if we do this, the sects of the Nine Continents will definitely come to our rescue, and the tribes may try to avoid it."
Feng Zhe said, "It's fine as long as the people of the Ancestral Tribe take the lead. Once we get the benefits, they will follow us. Moreover, I am not fighting alone, the one from the Hundred Southern Continent has already agreed to join forces with me. "
The two elders were shocked, the Beast Ancestor of the Hundred Southern Continent was rumored to have woken up, and he must not be underestimated.
Sui Qingjian said, "But the Beast Kings of the Hundred Southern Continent may not be willing to help me, and I am afraid they have their own ideas."
Feng Zhe said, "Of course, but there is one thing you don't need to worry about, they are also acting on orders from their superiors. They may be hindered by small matters, but in the grand scheme of things, they will not turn against me before the cultivators of the Nine Continents are eliminated. Also, I can promise that after we conquer the Eastern Barren Nations, I will give them all the treasures, people, and territories."
Sui Qingjian and Chi Huo looked at each other. It was fine to give them away. The Eastern Barren Nations were too far away, and even if they conquered it, they would not be able to control it. Also, before the cultivators of the Nine Continents were eliminated, the demons of the Hundred Southern Continent could share the burden for them.
After thinking it through, the two stood up and bowed, saying, "Since the king has made up his mind, we will do as you say."
Feng Zhe said, "Then I will trouble the two elders to arrange it."
A few days later, the king of the Heaven Ghoul Race, Feng Zhe, once again gathered all the tribes for a discussion. With the excuse of cutting off the arms of the cultivators of the Nine Continents, they decided to attack the Hundred Eastern Barren Nations, and promised that apart from the territories, everything they seized would belong to the tribes, and the Ancestral Tribe would not ask for anything.
In these years, the Heaven Ghoul tribes had repeatedly lost against the cultivators of the Nine Continents, and they realized that this opponent was not to be trifled with. However, the Hundred Eastern Barren Nations did not care about it, and since the Ancestral Tribe was willing to lead and they could benefit from it, they had nothing to say.
As for the ten thousand year agreement with the Eastern Barren Nations, no one took it seriously. This was because the one who made the agreement was the Firemane Ghost Ancestor, and according to Demonic Ancestor Gou Yue, this person had fallen into silence, and without enough sacrifices, he would probably not be able to come again.
Sima Quan's avatar had been hiding in Shocking Sky Mountain all this time, and he had added fuel to the fire when the tribes caused trouble before. When he heard of this matter, he immediately sent out the news after coming out of the palace. However, he also knew that since the Heaven Ghoul tribe had decided to invade on a large scale, they had no intention of concealing it. Moreover, before the Eastern Barren Nations officially asked for help, the sects of the Nine Continents would not take the initiative to send cultivators to help. At most, they would make some preparations in advance.
This time, the Heaven Ghoul tribes moved extremely quickly. In just a month, over a hundred Cloud Whales had been mobilized to the plains below Shocking Sky Mountain. Under the leadership of the Lian Clan's Patriarch, Lian Xiao, more than three hundred tribes and more than forty Demonic Saints boarded the whale's back.
As clouds and mist rose, the group appeared at the border between the Hundred Southern Sieve Continent and the Eastern Barren Lands in just a few breaths.
It was more than a month's journey to the Hundred Eastern Barren Nations if they flew.
It was not that they did not want to send the Cloud Whale King close. In fact, they had sent one before, but in the past few years, the Eastern Barren Nation had expanded rapidly, and they seemed to have mastered a method to find the Cloud Whale King. They found it and imprisoned it, causing the Heaven Ghoul tribe to suffer great losses. Therefore, they could only place the Cloud Whale King at the border between the two continents.
After they arrived, Lian Xiao immediately ordered over three hundred clansmen to move out of the World Reflection Tower. He asked them to build a sturdy palace in three months. Then, he left two Beast Saints to guard the place while he led the rest of the clansmen to the Eastern Wasteland Country.
