Beast Tamer: I can extract blood

The Ghost Fighting Tribe's territory is vast, and Sunset Mountain Range is just one inconspicuous small mountain range within it.

However, the Sunset Mountains are rich in ferocious beast resources, so the Ghost Fighting Tribe has set up a garrison here. The person in charge of the garrison has reached the peak of the King level. Apart from a few people, he can be said to be able to run rampant in the Sunset Mountains.

Because of this person's existence, the warriors of the Ghost Fighting Tribe lived a very comfortable life in the Sunset Mountains.

With plenty of food and drink, and the ability to extract good things from the small tribes in the Sunset Mountains, their lives have improved even further with the addition of the Star Moon Tribe.

Fine wines and delicacies that even the tribal elders cannot enjoy on ordinary days are just part of their daily lives here, and their lives are incredibly comfortable.

Today was just like any other day, calm and peaceful.

"What a boring life!"

Kelly swirled the crystal-clear wine glass in her hand, and for a moment she felt a strange sense of weariness with her current life.

"It's unbelievable that I would feel bored with this peaceful life. Is this what the people in the True World call decadence?"

This place is also within the Sunset Mountains. Naturally, some rogue cultivators who have crossed the passage to the Heavenly Gift Realm will appear here and be captured by Kelly and the others.

However, compared to those rogue cultivators who were merely enslaved by other tribes, the rogue cultivators here were in a much worse situation.

The men were used as bait to lure the cunning and precious beasts in the Sunset Mountains, while the women not only had to be used as bait, but also had to endure unparalleled torture before that. It could be said that this place was a hell for rogue cultivators.

"Lord Kelly, news has arrived from the tribe's hunting party!"

"A hunting party?" Kelly asked, a headache forming in his eyes. "What did these guys say this time?"

"The hunting party said that the flavor of miniature pigs is very popular with the tribal elders, and they hope that we can find out where the miniature pigs gather before they arrive."

"Fragrant pig?" Kelly didn't quite remember what a fragrant pig was.

Fortunately, the person below was observant enough to remind him, "Lord Kelly, it's the pink pig we saw at that big lake last time. You said this pig is even bigger than a mountain elephant, and it looks so pink and tender, it must taste delicious."

"Oh, so that's the one!"

"Damn it, those old bastards are always causing me trouble. Last time I caught that pot-bellied pig, I almost broke my ribs. Now they want me to investigate their gathering place. This is going to kill me!"

Thinking back to the last time, when that pot-bellied pig delivered a deadly headbutt, Kelly felt a dull ache in his chest.

"Lord Kelly, we can actually hire the Star Moon Division to help us find the whereabouts of the fragrant pig!"

"The Star Moon Tribe, they don't sell food and drinks, how can they go looking for fragrant pigs?" Kelly asked curiously.

"Yes, yes, there are quite a few people from the Star Moon Tribe who secretly gather together to take on tasks from various tribes and collect rewards."

"As for compensation, Lord Kelly, don't we have plenty?"

Kelly laughed twice: "That's right, that's right, we have plenty of resources, so let them go!"

"Then I'll go now?"

"Go, go! Don't be stingy with resources. Hire more people for me. Those old fogies like it. We need to make it look good, otherwise they might send me to the front lines of the Eye of the Underworld, and that would be terrible!"

"Okay, my lord!"

Half a day after this person left the post.

Dozens of strange figures appeared in the sky above the outpost.

These people looked exactly like the warriors of the Heavenly Gift Realm, but their eyes revealed an inappropriate cunning, and the aura emanating from them was no longer like the blazing sun, but rather had a cold and deathly feel.

"right here?"

"If the information about that down-on-his-luck man is correct, this should be the place!"

"Shut up! No matter what his previous status was, he is now our superior!"

"Captain, he's nothing more than a descendant of a fallen, third-rate noble family. Given your status, Captain..."

"bang"

The man known as the captain moved in front of him in an instant and punched him in the face with great force. However, the man's body did not change. Only the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth and his somewhat deformed face indicated that the punch was not light.

"Captain, let it go. Xiao Qi is just upset."

"Just remember what the general says and do it."

Although they dared not contradict their captain, these battle-hardened soldiers, who had emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, clearly showed their dissatisfaction.

Ming Gu sighed inwardly and said, "I know you are not convinced. As the eldest son of a second-class nobleman, I really have no reason to pay attention to a down-on-his-luck person. As my soldiers, you can also ignore him!"

"However, this matter concerns the general's grand plan. We cannot act on our own whims and disobey orders. You should know the general's rules. Soldiers who disobey orders will only have one fate."

"Perhaps I can escape death by virtue of my noble status, but you cannot."

Upon realizing the general's terrifying power, the resentment on everyone's faces vanished completely, replaced by deep fear.

"who?"

Dozens of people were floating in the air, and Kelly, being not dead, naturally noticed them after so long.

Although he couldn't sense their qi fluctuations, Kelly's intuition told him that these people were not to be trifled with, so he didn't make a move immediately. Otherwise, according to Kelly's usual style of doing things, he would have slapped them long ago.

As for whether he can withstand it, what does that have to do with him? If he can't, then he deserves to die. If he can, let's see what good things he can offer. Otherwise, it's still just one word: "Death!"

"The main party has discovered us, so let's make our move!"

"boom"

Seeing that these people were ignoring him and even attacking him, Kelly was furious. He was a member of the Ghost Fighting Tribe, and yet people were ignoring him and even attacking him within his own tribe's territory. Were they looking down on him?
In fact, Kelly was just trying to figure out if there were any people he couldn't afford to offend. Although he belonged to the Ghost Fighting Tribe, there were still king-level warriors in the Sunset Mountains.

Reaching the Heavenly King level of cultivation means being on a completely different level from ordinary people. Even Kelly wouldn't dare to be disrespectful to someone with a higher cultivation level than himself. After all, if you anger someone, no matter what tribe they belong to, they're dead.

"how is this possible?"

Upon first contact, Kelly looked at the Hades in disbelief: "How can your aura be like this? You are not from my Heavenly Gift Realm!"

"That feeling is so familiar... I remember now, the one reincarnated from the underworld!"

"But how could someone reincarnated from the underworld possibly appear here?"

Kelly's eyes suddenly widened, and she exclaimed incredulously, "You're from the Four Seasons Tribe!" *Bang!*

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Ming Gu's palm revealed a black halo, and he said indifferently, "You're quite clever. It's a pity you don't know the inside story. Did you offend someone? At this time, they still haven't summoned you back?"

The black halo possesses an extremely strong corrosive power, and the suction force it generates is something Kelly cannot break free from.

As he watched his body being gradually obliterated by the halo, Kelly's eyes flashed with intense hatred upon hearing Ming Gu's words. He roared, "Damn you, Wu Ze, you old thief! I only slept with your granddaughter, how dare you do this!"

"boom"

Looking at Kelly's head, now reduced to countless fragments, Ming Gu shook his head in dissatisfaction and said, "As expected of the Wilderness, even my supernatural powers were suppressed here."

"Wasn't he just used as cannon fodder to be sent to his death because of his romantic entanglements?"

"That's quite normal!"

Thinking about why he joined the army, Mingu couldn't help but feel a little more empathy for the deceased Kelly.

"If you had said so earlier, I might have spared your life and made you my servant. What a pity!"

"Hurry up and get rid of them as soon as possible. We don't need any living people!"

"Yes, Captain!"

These people reborn from the Yellow Springs are extremely powerful. Not only are they physically stronger than the warriors of the Heavenly Gift Realm, but they can also use supernatural powers. These are not the supernatural powers that True Realm cultivators like Chen Jiuge can barely use to light a fire or pour water on, but are real means that can be used to fight enemies.

"Next, we need to clear this path out of the Sunset Mountains!"

As for the Sunset Mountains themselves, they are not worth mentioning. Although the Sunset Mountains are not small, the Three Lives Stone lineage is not only after the Sunset Mountains, but also after the Naihe lineage, which is secretly trading with the Ghost Fighting Tribe.

Actually, there's another absurd reason why the powerful beings of the Underworld didn't directly destroy and conquer the Heavenly Gift Realm: the Underworld itself lacked sufficient resources.

The upper class is known for its licentiousness and extravagant lifestyle, while ordinary residents in the lower class struggle to make ends meet. The difference between them is greater than the difference between heaven and earth.

In order to maintain their extravagant lifestyle, these powerful nobles developed a world detector. The sole purpose of this device was to explore other worlds and sustain their luxurious lives through constant plunder.

However, the world has its limits; if it is overexploited, the world will be destroyed.

Unfortunately, when the Heavenly Gift Realm was discovered, the first batch of small worlds conquered by the Underworld Realm had been drained dry and completely turned into wastelands.

The resource-rich Heavenly Gift Realm has been targeted. Although they are extremely greedy for the resources inside and wish they could stuff them all into their own pockets, these Yellow Springs nobles still suppressed their crazy hearts in order to obtain resources continuously.

As for why the invasion of the Heavenly Gift Realm is suddenly being accelerated, it is because the Underworld Realm has discovered a new small world and no longer needs to be as cautious as before, fearing that something might happen to the Heavenly Gift Realm.

"I wonder if those women from the Naihe lineage can hold on after this trade channel with the Ghost Fighting Tribe is cut off."

"Perhaps I'll have the chance to try the Naihe lineage myself; those delicate women are something to look forward to!"

"Chieftain, this is the death list of Xingyan Legion during their expansion, as well as the list of young and strong men captured!" Arkham handed over a bamboo scroll.

"Huh? You got it so easily? Are you sure it's true?" Chen Jiuge was a little surprised. How long has it been? If you calculate the time, wouldn't Xing Yan have sent up the list as soon as the Seven Kill Army arrived?

Arkham scratched his head and said, "Actually, I don't know either. Anyway, as soon as we got to Xing Yan's place, he gave us the list."

"Oh, right, Xing Yan also asked me to pass on a message to the clan leader!"

“I, Xing Yan, am not a person who breaks faith and betrays trust; it’s just that there are reasons beyond my control in everything I do.”

"Interesting. These words don't sound like something these uncouth warriors would say. I remember Xing Yan took in two disciples from the True Realm, right? These two seem to be from the Holy Land. They must have been the ones who taught them!"

"However, since Xing Yan himself doesn't have any ideas, or is currently in a dilemma, then this must be something that someone else instructed him to do."

"There are only a handful of people in the entire Star Moon Division who can influence Xing Yan. It seems that there are still some uneasy people among the remnants of the Five Stars Division."

What's been happening with Afra lately?

Chen Jiuge turned his head and asked the question behind him.

A hand emerged from the shadows and handed Chen Jiuge a scroll containing information about Afran's activities in the Star Moon Tribe.

"She went shopping and ate out, but didn't contact anyone. She even refused to accept visits from Chu Tianshu and Ronghuo. Is this to show me that she has completely given up?"

After squinting and thinking for a moment, Chen Jiuge said calmly, "Tell Xiaoying to transfer some unimportant people to strengthen the surveillance of Afran, Molten Fire, and Chu Tianshu."

"There's definitely something wrong with one or all three of these people!"

"I refuse to believe that you haven't given yourself away at all!"

"By the way, keep an eye on Shui Bing as well."

The shadow demons behind him seemed surprised by the name, and their movements hesitated noticeably. However, as Chen Jiuge's spirit beasts, they would still unconditionally carry out his orders.

"I'm afraid someone will cover for them!"

Shadow demons are not omnipotent. They can monitor people with higher cultivation levels than themselves, but they need to rest. They must return to the shadow world to rest every once in a while.

Furthermore, there is another very important piece of information regarding Shadow Demons: their numbers are actually quite small, even far from sufficient. Moreover, Shadow Demons are extremely difficult to breed. To date, the number of Shadow Demons born through normal breeding is less than a handful. These young Shadow Demons are currently too young to be of any use.

Only a handful of people in the entire Star Moon City were capable of helping the remnants of the Five Stars conceal their actions.

The first one is naturally Shui Bing. As the first governor, with his understanding of Star Moon City and the power he holds, it would be very easy for him to do this.

However, although Chen Jiuge sent Ying Yao to monitor Shui Bing, the likelihood of her actually doing so was not high; it was more of a precaution in case of unexpected events.

Next are Chu Tianshu and Ronghuo. Although they are also governors, they do not have much power in the entire Xingyue tribe because of their background. Many powerful warriors in the tribe do not respect them.

One person can't do much, but it's not impossible if two people work together.

Finally, there's Afran herself. The Five-Star Secret Technique is very important, as it allows a warrior to quickly break through cultivation levels. The breakthrough from the Golden Blade realm to the Warrior King realm can play a huge role, and it can be said to be the foundation of a tribe's strength.

It wasn't that Chen Jiuge was overly suspicious, but rather that Afran had handed over this secret technique so readily back then.

It's possible that she was truly exhausted and unable to shoulder the responsibility of the entire Five Star Tribe, or perhaps she possessed an even more important treasure and wanted to use a secret technique to attract Chen Jiuge's attention.

"The treasures of the Five Star Tribe?"

Chen Jiuge wasn't sure if the matter was true or false, and even if Xing Yan had relayed it, it might just be a way to lull himself into a false sense of security. (End of Chapter)
