577 Return In Glory
Ye Qiu made a guess, but he was already sure what would happen.
The treasure hunt was just a fuse. The trade between the human race and the foreign race had already made a lot of money, and now, with two more treasures, they were like a moving treasure vault, and the foreign race could attack at any time.
Right now, Ice City was no longer safe. The place would be overturned once the foreign races made a move.
“You’re right. The foreign races will come. However, I want them to come here and never return. This time, even if the army couldn’t kill the bug race, they could still kill the foreign races. After all, these foreign races aren’t friendly to us. Killing more of them will only do more good to us.”
“Country Lord is right. We must prepare to face the foreign races now.”
Ye Qiu thought that as long as he used the ability of Void Divine Gate, he would be able to safely and quickly leave with his army and return to the Kingdom of Dawn.
As long as he returned, he could avoid this crisis. In the Kingdom of Dawn, no matter how many foreign races there were, they would not dare to act rashly.
However, Li Xiang did not seem to have any intention of returning.
“Let’s go back the way we came!”
“Country Lord, are you planning to fight with the foreign races on the way back? What is the purpose? To train the army?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLi Xiang took a deep breath and said coldly, “Let’s return in glory.”
The killing intent in his eyes was so intense that he almost could not suppress it.
He wanted to pave the way home with the bones of his enemies. He wanted to spread the reputation of the human race and make it well-known among the Myriad races. He wanted to ensure that the human race would not be looked down upon by other races.
The human race must be strong!
The way to become stronger was naturally to prove themselves through the lives and blood of the enemy.
The purpose of this expedition was to train the army’s combat power. Without the bug race, they could only use flesh and blood of other races to qualify.
“Since Country Lord has decided, I will do my best. However, since we cannot avoid it, we display the power and prestige of the human race! There will be many obstacles in the future, and we don’t need to fight foreign races head-on. We could attack them one by one. Compared to our military tactics, these foreign races aren’t even worth mentioning!”
It was unknown when Zhao Yun arrived, but Zhao Yun spoke confidently.
The current situation was like throwing an egg at a rock. The difference in strength between them and the Foreign Race Alliance Army was too significant.
On the surface, they only had 20 thousand people. Even if they included the hidden army in the Tower of Stars, they only had 30 thousand troops.
And how many men are in the Foreign Race Army? There were tens of millions of them, or even more.
The difference between 30 thousand and 10 million was too significant. They could not defend against the attack of all the foreign races.
However, as a commander, it was not like they had no chance of winning against the enemy. They might not be able to annihilate the enemy with their resources, but they could still kill many of their opponents and return safely.
“Oh? What do you think, General Zhao?” Li Xiang asked with interest.
“That’s like building a path in the open and secretly doing something else in the dark!”
“Good! I’ve already handed over all the matters in the city to you. So whatever you want to do, you can. I’ll fully support you!”
His words had already made it clear that Zhao Yun was the leader of this battle. No matter what methods or schemes were used, he would cooperate with them unconditionally.
This was Zhao Yun’s stage now. As to how far he would go, that would depend on his talent and ability.
With Zhao Yun around, the safety of the entire army was guaranteed, and there was no need to fear the enemy’s numbers.
Zhao Yun needed to secure a memorable victory to solidify his position in the country of dawn. Only an accurate battle record could make his work unshakeable.
Zhao Yun gave a military salute before turning around and leaving.
On the other hand, Li Xiang went to his temporary resting place in Ice City. In his room, he took out the two rare treasures he had snatched.
With a flash of light, two treasures appeared in his hands.
One was the Evil Blood Bodhi, and the other was the Blood-Shadow Shura Rice. The last one was the Jade Blood Skeleton, which was in the hands of Tian Mu Lei Yin from the Three-eyed race.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Jade Blood Skeleton might be the most valuable of these three items, but the two treasures in his hands were also irreplaceable.
“Although the Evil Blood Bodhi can’t be compared to the Enlightenment Tea or the Bodhi tree, it still has miraculous effects. It can refine one’s mental power and temper one’s will. It can even be used to suppress one’s divine soul true spirit. Moreover, it’s scarce.”
“However, from the name of this treasure, Evil Blood Bodhi, you can tell that it is malicious from the word ‘evil.’ It must be purified to be truly effective. Otherwise, something bad will likely happen.”
Li Xiang looked at the Bodhi seed in his hand. He could see countless mysterious, twisted, terrifying evil shadows on the seed. They were roaring and struggling inside, and the evil aura was so strong that it would make people shiver with fear.
However, the Evil Blood Bodhi did not look ferocious on the surface. It was filled with extraordinarily vicious and malicious intent. A faint and extremely terrifying evil voice could be heard.
If one’s will were not strong enough, it would be eroded by this evil voice, and it was even possible that their body would mutate.
Therefore, such a treasure was extremely dangerous, but there were hidden opportunities. Using this to temper one’s mind and will would yield twice the result with half the effort.
This treasure could not only temper one’s mind and will but also devour remnant thoughts, desires, and wicked ideas. It could even give birth to evil spirits and demons, causing chaos in one’s mind.
However, he would only know what kind of effects it would have after he refined it himself.
Such a treasure was far more precious than other treasures of the same grade.
“The Blood-Shadow Shura Rice can be planted in the World Tree for purification and optimization. Although the Blood-Shadow Shura Rice seemed extremely high quality, its energy was inclined to the negative side. It was the favorite of those from the demonic path. It was more harmful than beneficial to ordinary cultivators with positive energy. However, any evil energy will be purified with the World Tree.”
There was only one seed, and if it died due to unforeseen circumstances, nothing would be left. Only after being planted in the World Tree Space and going through purification would it become the Kingdom of Dawn’s treasure.
The Void Divine Gate opened, and Li Xiang stepped in. He crossed the infinite distance and returned to the private space of the World Tree in the Kingdom of Dawn.
The growth of the Blood-Shadow Shura Rice required an abundant amount of evil blood Qi. This was not a big deal, but the evil Qi contained in it had to be purified. When the time came, it could use the bones and flesh of the fierce beasts and foreign races as nutrients.
In the Myriad World Continent, the least lacking thing was flesh and blood.
