The magnificent Chu royal residence was filled with palaces and pavilions. Especially the main hall, the Chu Emperor District, which was towering and majestic.
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and in the red sky, the towering Chu Emperor District was covered in a layer of golden light. It gave people the feeling of a paradise on earth.
Yi Yun followed the law-enforcer to the Chu Emperor District. He saw the Shen Tu family clan's airship parked in the square in front of the Chu Emperor District. There were Shen Tu family clan guards surrounding it.
These guards looked resolute and strong. Their auras were restrained and their strength was hard to estimate.
They were like wooden pillars standing there motionless. In addition, they were wearing the same Shen Tu family clan armor, which made them look majestic.
When Yi Yun and company walked past them, they did not look sideways. Clearly, they were disciplined.
This made Yi Yun secretly alarmed. He roughly estimated that these soldiers' strength was probably not weaker than the Tai Ah Divine City's instructors. But in the Tai Ah Divine City, people who reached this level of strength were very free and had very high statuses.
But in the Shen Tu family clan, such people could only be soldiers and guards.
This was the difference between a large faction and a small faction. Although people with the same cultivation level could lead a more comfortable life in a small faction, they would also lose more opportunities and resources. Their horizons would be narrower, so some people would rather serve a large faction, even if it was just as a normal soldier.
"The Shen Tu family clan has such military might and strict discipline. They are much stronger than the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom."
Yi Yun secretly said in his heart. He was more confident in his ability to withstand the beast horde.
Stepping through the Chu Emperor District's door, the main hall was solemn. The ground beneath his feet was paved with heavenly patterned stones. Not only was it as hard as steel, there were also beautiful patterns on the surface, making it look beautiful and noble.
Yi Yun saw a young man in Chinese clothes sitting in the main hall. He was dressed in green clothes and his hair was tied up. His skin was fair and his forehead was full. His face had a healthy ruddiness to it. Faintly, Yi Yun noticed that there was a trace of purple Qi between his eyebrows.
Purple Qi Comes From The East was a natural aura of nobility.
This young man's attire looked extremely simple. His aura was calm and restrained, without any ostentatious feeling, but it made people feel that he was elegant.
Beside the young man, there were two old men dressed in luxurious robes and wearing golden crowns on their heads. They were both extremely respectful towards the young man.
Yi Yun noticed that although the two elders were sitting on chairs, they only sat a third of the way down. Their backs were straight, which was a sign of humility.
Yi Yun did not recognize the two elders, but when he saw one of them wearing a golden python robe, Yi Yun knew his identity.
Gold pythons were called pythons, but they actually looked the same as dragons. It was just that they had one less claw than dragons, which was four claws. Therefore, gold pythons were also called four-clawed golden dragons.
In the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, only those who were conferred the title of king could wear the four-clawed golden dragon robe. For example, Chu Xiaoran's father, the Duke of Zhenguo. As a duke, his rank was lower than the King of Chu, so he could not wear such clothes.
In other words, the old man in the golden python robe was King Chu himself!
For a young man to make King Chu act so respectfully, he definitely came from the Shen Tu family clan. And even in the Shen Tu family clan, his status was probably not low. Yi Yun noticed that King Chu's respect for the young man came from the bottom of his heart, and it was not just because of the faction behind him.
Other than the three people sitting in the grand hall, the rest were standing.
Yi Yun saw that among the people standing, there were young men and women dressed in uniform. These young men and women were clearly from the Shen Tu family clan, and they were probably the most talented juniors in the Shen Tu family clan.
There were also many older followers and family warriors. All of them were led by the azure-clothed youth.
"Young master Nantian, these are the young elites of our Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. Look."
King Chu pointed at Yi Yun and company. The azure-clothed youth gave them a casual glance, and his gaze paused on Yi Yun for a moment.
"Not bad …" Young master Nantian smiled and nodded. "The country is in danger. For you to be born in this chaotic world is unfortunate, but also lucky. If you can survive, this will be your opportunity. Make good use of it."
Young master Nantian's light evaluation was like a clear spring. Many of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's elites were flattered when they heard this.
Over the past few days, these young men and women had slowly understood how vast the world was. They lived in a corner, so their knowledge was very shallow.
Originally, to a figure like Young master Nantian, a bunch of geniuses from a small country like them was not worth paying attention to. They were insignificant. Unexpectedly, Young master Nantian had evaluated them as not bad, and had even encouraged them.
"This Young master Nantian doesn't have any airs."
"That's right, I never expected him to encourage us. It's such an honor." A few young men and women discussed with Yuan Qi transmissions.
There were even some young girls who looked at Young master Nantian with admiration and infatuation.
Such a handsome, outstanding strength, and a powerful background would naturally attract the hearts of young girls.
"This time, my Chu royal residence's family warriors, the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's Sages, and these elite youths will listen to Young master Nantian's orders!"
King Chu said respectfully. At this time, the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom was in a precarious situation. It was not easy to see a life-saving straw like the Shen Tu family clan, so they naturally had to be respectful to the Shen Tu family clan.
"Alright." Young master Nantian responded lightly, "My Shen Tu family clan came to the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom for two reasons. Firstly, it is to clean up the beast horde caused by the Shepherd Boy, and to settle our grudge. Secondly, it is to discuss some matters with the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom."
As Young master Nantian spoke, he flipped his hand slightly, and a red gem appeared out of thin air in his hand.
He picked up the gem and shook it in front of everyone in the room. The gem exuded an intoxicating glow. Looking at it, one would feel as if one's spirit would unknowingly sink into it.
Many elites were alarmed and did not dare to look at it again.
"This is …" King Chu was stunned. He did not know what Young master Nantian was doing.
"Desolate Mirror Stone!" Young master Nantian said lightly, "The Human race looks no different from the Desolate race. There is almost no difference on the surface. And this Desolate Mirror Stone can sense the aura of the Desolate race, so as to prevent any Desolate race spies among us!"
When Young master Nantian said this, King Chu's expression changed. He laughed dryly, "How is that possible? My Chu Prefecture City is very far from the Divine Wilderness. Besides, these people are geniuses nurtured by the Tai Ah Divine City. We know them thoroughly, so they can't be from the Desolate race …"
"Can't be?" Young master Nantian chuckled and stood up, "How many Desolate race members have you come into contact with? You are just imagining it. The Desolate race is cunning, cruel and bloodthirsty. On the way here, I have already confirmed that there is more than one Desolate race member infiltrating your Chu Prefecture City! "
"I guess that the Desolate race's plan of launching the beast horde to destroy the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom has been prepared for a long time. Years ago, the Desolate race had probably sent a large number of spies to infiltrate the various parts of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom!"
"This …"
Hearing Young master Nantian's certainty, the people in the hall looked at each other. The Tai Ah Divine Kingdom had Desolate race spies infiltrating it? And there were many of them?
Their impression of the Desolate race was basically equivalent to the Shepherd Boy. They were synonymous with being powerful, mysterious, bloody and cruel.
As for the other Desolate race, they had never thought of them.
"However …" Young master Nantian changed the topic, "I find it strange. With the Shepherd Boy's strength, he should be able to destroy your Tai Ah Divine Kingdom by himself. I don't understand why he would send spies ahead of time. I'm afraid his goal in attacking the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom is not that simple!"
Young master Nantian sighed slightly as he revealed a pondering look.
Yi Yun's heart stirred when he heard this. Back in the Tai Ah Divine City, he had seen the Shepherd Boy lead a massive beast horde to attack the city. Back then, the Shepherd Boy had indeed said, "I want to do something … It's not that I want to destroy Tai Ah, but unfortunately, the surrounding countries in the Divine Wilderness are hindering me from doing this, so I can only destroy them!"
This Young master Nantian was able to analyze this point from some clues. He was indeed quite capable.
Young master Nantian carried on, "Everyone, remember, the blood of the Desolate race is silver! If you discover anyone with silver blood, immediately report it to me! "
"The Desolate race may look like humans, but they are not humans. In essence, they are desolate beasts. The Desolate race is cruel and bloodthirsty. They have no concept of mercy. They kill people like cutting grass!"
"So, you do not need to treat the Desolate race as humans. The Desolate race and humans are mortal enemies, just like how humans and desolate beasts are mortal enemies. It can be said that they are irreconcilable!"
"The silver blood of the Desolate race is very useful to us humans. The corpses of high-ranking Desolate race members are much more valuable than primordial species! And further up, the blood of a King-ranked Desolate race member is even more valuable than a primordial true spirit! And a King-ranked Desolate race member is not the strongest amongst the Desolate race! "
"The most important point is that the blood of the Desolate race has a gentle energy. It will not be like the blood of a primordial species that can destroy one's meridians. If … any of you discover the Desolate race and report it to me, I can share some of the Desolate race's blood with you. So … I said that this war is a great opportunity for all of you. Do you understand why!? "
Young Master Nantian's words stirred the hearts of all the young elites present.
The value of a high-ranking Desolate race member's blood exceeded that of a primordial species?
Furthermore, there was a King-ranked Desolate race member that exceeded a primordial true spirit.
What kind of concept was a primordial true spirit? Back when the Shepherd Boy led the beast horde to attack the city, the gigantic turtle had shocked everyone. That was a primordial true spirit!
If the blood of a primordial true spirit could not compare to it, then how valuable would it be?
"Alright, that will be all for today. There are no spies among us. From now on, we will close the city gates. We will first investigate the spies!"
As Young master Nantian said this, a confident smile suffused on his lips.
The Shepherd Boy, who had once stirred up a bloodbath in the Western Regions, and had nearly killed his father, mother, and even himself.
Now, the Shepherd Boy would let him know what it meant to pay a debt of blood with blood!

The editors have already knocked off work, so they had no choice but to change the updated chapter 354 to chapter 353. There is no problem reading it on Qidian, but in other places, the order of the chapters might be messed up. Qidian's backend really makes me drunk.]
