Chapter 964: Gathering Place of Genius Descendants

I’ve already spelled it out this clearly and you still don’t get it?

Alright then!

Looks like this girl’s brain cells aren’t exactly flourishing!

Ye Xiu was torn between laughing and crying as he explained:

“The Underground City is full of gasoline, gas stations, and chemical plants. I need a large number of Earth System Totem Inheritors to transport the gasoline to the underground beneath the Demon Clan army camp, and then have all the Fire System Totem Inheritors detonate it.”

Long Qian listened, then asked doubtfully:

“Gasoline is a liquid, shouldn’t I be controlling some Water System Totem Inheritors?”

Hiss!

Ye Xiu sucked in a breath of cold air. Is this girl mentally handicapped?

He said:

“Have the Earth System Totem Inheritors directly transport big oil tanks filled with gasoline, or containers filled with gasoline.”

Long Qian finally understood and said happily:

“Right, why didn’t I think of that? Come on, come on, let’s head straight to the Judicator Families’ camp.”

She finished speaking and, without waiting for Ye Xiu’s response, grabbed his wrist and slipped underground.

Ye Xiu was speechless. Only now did he realize that Long Qian had given him this mission because she herself hadn’t figured out how to get the Demon Clan and the Judicator Families to start fighting.

When they arrived near the Judicator Families’ camp—

Long Qian brought Ye Xiu up from underground and said:

“You wait here, I’ll go in and find some people.”

“Okay!” Ye Xiu nodded, then watched Long Qian swagger straight into the Judicator Families’ camp, with tons of people greeting her along the way.

As expected!

Long Qian was also from the Judicator Families!

Just then, Qin Qing sent a message: “We’ve reached Base No. 1. When will you get here?”

Ye Xiu replied: “I ran into people from the Dragon King’s Palace, so I can’t make it to Base No. 1 for now.”

Qin Qing: “Stay safe, survival first. If you die, your wife and your property will all belong to someone else. Think about it, savor that thought.”

Ye Xiu: “…”

Suddenly, a burst of footsteps approached. Ye Xiu quickly jumped up into a nearby tree, and before long, a patrol squad from the Judicator Families passed below.

Ye Xiu was speechless. The Judicator Families had actually set their camp in the forest of Forest Island.

Forest Island used to be where Third Rank people lived. On such a huge island, only a little over a million people were registered.

As a result, the entire Forest Island had only one city; everywhere else was mountains and primordial forest.

The Judicator Families choosing to set up camp here basically screamed “no war experience,” way too convenient for the enemy to launch surprise attacks and hide.

More than three hours later!

Long Qian’s head poked out from the ground beneath the tree Ye Xiu was hiding in, and she said:

“Lord Ximen, let’s go!”

Sure thing, Teacher Pan… Ye Xiu hurriedly jumped down from the tree.

Then Long Qian grabbed his ankle and dragged him underground.

Ye Xiu glanced back and, damn, Long Qian was ruthless; she’d actually used the Purple Pupil to control about 200 people.

“We’re heading to the Underground City now. That place belongs to the Demon Clan at the moment. Be careful and don’t make any noise!” Long Qian reminded him.

Ye Xiu suddenly understood. No wonder the Judicator Families had set up camp on Forest Island—their old nest had already been taken by the Demon Clan army.

Very soon!

The group arrived at the border between Forest Island and the Underground City!

“Lord Ximen, give the order!” Long Qian said to Ye Xiu.

Sure thing, Teacher Pan… Ye Xiu nodded and said to the 200 people behind him:

“All Earth System Totem Inheritors are in charge of going to the chemical plants, oil depots, and gas stations in the Underground City. Secretly load as much gasoline, diesel, and all kinds of oil as you can into tank trucks or various containers, then transport them to underground locations all over the Underground City. Don’t bury them too deep, spread them out evenly. Once that’s done, the Fire System Totem Inheritors will be responsible for igniting everything.”

“Do exactly as he said!” Long Qian ordered.

The 200 people immediately accepted the order and left.

Once they were gone, Ye Xiu said:

“All that prep work will take a long time. There’s no need for us to wait here.”

The subtext being: hurry up and take me to the Dragon King’s Palace, I’m going to kill the Hall Master and the other attendants.

“Then let’s go. I’ll take you somewhere!” Long Qian said.

Ye Xiu’s eyes lit up. Were they going to the Dragon King’s Palace?

…

The Underground City!

The Demon Clan’s Three Great Demon Venerables were listening to a report from their subordinates:

“All Martial Artist armies and ordinary armies under Lin Lei on King Island suddenly came to the Underground City for unknown reasons. They wiped out the 500,000-strong Judicator Families army stationed in the northwest of the Underground City, then Lin Lei’s army set up camp right at the border between King Island and the Underground City.”

The Three Great Demon Venerables were suddenly a bit dumbfounded after hearing this!

“Isn’t there a Formation Barrier between King Island and the Underground City? How did Lin Lei’s army get through?” Chi Ming Demon Venerable asked doubtfully.

“Could it be that Ye Xiu took down the Formation?” Jiu You Old Demon guessed.

Liuli directly asked the subordinate reporting: “Did you try to see whether the Formation is still there?”

“We did!” the subordinate said. “The Formation Barrier is still up!”

Liuli was enlightened: “Looks like what Ye Xiu set up is a formation that allows exit but blocks entry. People from King Island can come to the Underground City, but people from the Underground City trying to go to King Island will be blocked by the Formation Barrier.”

“Ye Xiu’s main base is on King Island. Lin Lei’s army came to the Underground City, so why isn’t he stopping them?” Chi Ming Demon Venerable asked.

“Hmph!” Liuli snorted coldly. “Ye Xiu would love nothing more than for the Underground City and Forest Island to be even messier. He wants us Demon Clan, the Judicator Families, and Lin Lei to all go at each other and wear each other down.”

“Ye Xiu is vicious!” Chi Ming Demon Venerable said through gritted teeth.

“We just don’t fall for it, simple as that!”

Jiu You Old Demon shrugged and said:

“We’ll find a way to make Lin Lei and the Judicator Families fight each other, and we’ll swoop in to reap the benefits.”

…

The south of Forest Island was a chain of continuous mountains.

And the only city on Forest Island lay within those mountains; Ye Xiu’s Base No. 1 was there as well.

Ye Xiu followed Long Qian over mountains and ridges, arriving at the southernmost edge of Forest Island by the sea.

Here lay a vast stretch of primordial forest!

Once they entered the forest—

Ye Xiu discovered many newly built houses scattered among the trees.

He asked:

“What is this place?”

Long Qian’s expression and gaze suddenly grew complicated, full of sorrow, anger, and hatred.

She said:

“You don’t know this, but over the past two thousand years, the Judicator Families have selected countless geniuses among geniuses from the Eternal Islands and brought them to the Underground City to serve the Judicator Families.”

“After more than two thousand years of breeding and accumulation, those geniuses and their descendants now number around fifteen million.”

“I’m one of them!”

“My ancestors, generation after generation, just like the other geniuses and their forebears, were enslaved and abused by the Judicator Families. Now that war has broken out, they chose to break away from the Judicator Families and settle here.”

After listening, Ye Xiu asked in confusion:

“You broke away from the Underground City, and the Judicator Families didn’t retaliate?”

“They don’t dare!” Long Qian sneered. “The Judicator Families are afraid that if they retaliate, they’ll drive us into Ye Xiu’s or the Demon Clan’s camp; and the Demon Clan never provokes us either, afraid we’ll run back into the arms of the Judicator Families or throw in with Ye Xiu and Lin Lei.”

So that’s how it is!

Ye Xiu suddenly understood. In other words, these fifteen million genius descendants were a middle force—helping no one, yet no one dared to mess with them.

Interesting!

He asked: “Since you maintain neutrality, how can you still go in and out of the Judicator Families’ camp as you please?”

“Because the Judicator Families are hoping I can persuade those fifteen million genius descendants to join the war,” Long Qian said.
