Chapter 433 - 294: Hundred Beasts Paying Homage (Part 2)

Moreover, these three people were not moving hurriedly, as if they had no task at hand.

"Master, when do we take action?" a Wolf Race Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm expert asked.

"Don’t rush, that’s the Huang Forbidden Army. Our Wolf Race should not expose ourselves. Wait until Lang Dong brings the Chaobei Ridge bandits before taking action."

"Our task is to obtain the Spirit Contract Race’s clan treasure, not to kill."

"I do not enjoy slaughter."

"...Understood."

"..."

Chaobei Ridge bandits?

Chu Ming frowned slightly.

It seems the Wolf Race does not wish to directly confront the Huang Forbidden Army, but instead wants to use some bandits as a cover?

Chaobei Ridge is located at the border intersection of Pingzhong County and Chi’an County, quite a distance from here. The Wolf Race is indeed expending much effort.

Continuing to listen, without hearing any useful information, Chu Ming decided to leave this place, flying through the air.

Two groups of Spirit Contract Race members, two squads of the Huang Forbidden Army, and three members of the Wolf Race–all positions were identified, leaving only the Huang Forbidden Army spoken of by the Spirit Contract Race as being a hundred miles away, along with the Chaobei Ridge bandits.

Flying toward the north, the distance of a hundred miles did not take long.

The third squad of the Huang Forbidden Army was found, led by a Cavalry Captain, whom Chu Ming also recognized. It was the Cavalry Captain he had encountered before at the Purple Cloud Sect in Qin Capital, Tang Run.

Tang Run’s squad was not large, only consisting of ten people, all of whom were in the Meridian Unlocking Realm.

Eight in the Upper Meridian Unlocking Realm, two in the Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm, each riding a fierce Exotic Beast, the Cyan Flame Demon Wolf.

The Cyan Flame Demon Wolf is several times more ferocious than the Blazing Fire Tiger Horse of the Tiger Armor Army and was tamed with the help of the Spirit Contract Race.

Eleven Meridian Unlocking Realm experts, combined with the Cyan Flame Demon Wolves, are comparable to an army of thousands.

"Not even one in the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm?"

Chu Ming felt slightly disappointed.

His reason for not checking was to confirm whether there were any Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm experts present.

"In that case, it saves a lot of trouble."

"..."

...

Wind Spirit Race’s clan territory, council hall.

Elder Feeng Jun, Elder Feeng Zhi, and others gathered once again.

"Elder, it has been confirmed that the Spirit Contract Race escaped west along Shunbai River!" Feeng Zhi said.

"And, they have already resumed their escape."

"What about the Huang Forbidden Army?"

"The Huang Forbidden Army has eradicated several of our bandit outposts along the way; they must have pursued them as well."

The Wind Spirit Race controls various bandits within a hundred miles, with numerous scouts, practically able to grasp all matters within a hundred miles instantly.

"Elder, the Spirit Contract Race is stronger than our Wind Spirit Race. Still, they are chased by the Huang Forbidden Army, and I think it’s best for our race to relocate now," Feeng Zhi said with worry.

"Indeed, Elder. We are not afraid of the Huang Forbidden Army, but we cannot risk the safety of all clansmen," Elder Feeng Ying also said urgently.

"..." Elder Feeng Jun remained silent for a moment, then said, "Alright, Elder Feeng Ying, arrange for the clansmen to relocate at once."

"Elder Feeng Zhi, notify the four camps of north, south, east, and west to launch an attack against the Spirit Contract Race and Huang Forbidden Army to buy time for the clansmen’s transfer."

The Wind Spirit Race has unified the twenty thousand bandits within a hundred miles and organized them into camps for governance, divided into north, south, east, and west camps and numerous subordinate outpost camps.

These four camps form the Wind Spirit Race’s outer defensive line.

"Additionally, inform the Clan Leader."

"Understood."

"No need for such trouble."

Just then, a voice came from outside, followed by a young man in black stepping into the hall.

"Clan Leader!"

Feeng Jun and Feeng Zhi immediately recognized the newcomer.

Chu Ming steadily entered the hall, surveying those present.

"Not bad."

Though the return of the Clan Tree was brief, the overall strength of the Wind Spirit Race members experienced a dramatic change.

"Clan Leader, how did you...?" Feeng Jun bowed, pleasantly surprised.

Chu Ming smiled without speaking, merely flicked his sleeve lightly, allowing a green light to fly from his body.

"Clan Tree Spirit!" Several in the Wind Spirit Race recognized the green light.

The Tree Spirit danced in the air like a sprite, then joyfully rushed out of the council hall, heading straight to the depths of the Wind Spirit Race’s clan territory.

"Clan Leader..."

"No worries, the Tree Spirit is homesick." Chu Ming took the main seat, smiling as he spoke, "No need for the clansmen to relocate."

"The Clan Leader knows everything?"

"Indeed." Chu Ming nodded lightly, "Elder Feeng Yi, bring the other three clansmen here."

"The other three clansmen? Clan Leader, you mean?"

"The three clansmen preparing to breakthrough the Meridian Unlocking Realm."

"I’ll go right away." Feeng Yi immediately ran out.

"Sit down, there’s no need for formalities."

The few present were bowing, not convenient for communication.

"Understood." Feeng Jun and the others sat one after another.

"Clan Leader, the Spirit Contract Race is fleeing south along Shunbai River, Huang Forbidden Army is pursuing them, our Wind Spirit Race..." Feeng Jun spoke anxiously.

"No rush, wait until Elder Feeng Yi arrives to discuss further."

No rush?

The few in the Wind Spirit Race were very anxious, feeling it improper to say no rush.

Nonetheless, they followed Chu Ming’s words without hesitation.

Not long after, four individuals appeared outside the hall.

"Clan Leader, Feeng Qi, Feeng Yun, and Feeng Rong have been brought," Feeng Yi bowed in salutation.

Chu Ming assessed the trio, a smile emerging, then flipped his hand, and three porcelain bottles appeared in his palm.

"Take them."

A flick of his finger, and the three porcelain bottles flew out.

Feeng Qi, Feeng Yun, and Feeng Rong nervously caught them.

"Consume them."

"Understood."

The three did not hesitate, swallowing them immediately.

Soon, they felt Qi Blood bubbling inside them, seemingly about to burst forth.

It wasn’t Qi Blood breaking forth, but a sign of breaking through the barrier.

"This is..."

Feeng Jun and the others immediately sensed the transformation in the aura of Feeng Qi.

"Sit and meditate, refine the medicinal strength!" Feeng Zhi said firmly.

"Understood."

The trio, understanding completely, realized the elixir they had consumed was a treasure medicine aiding in their breakthrough.

Although the Wind Spirit Race now had the Clan Tree providing Azure Ancient Juice, it didn’t guarantee a successful breakthrough.
