Chapter 204: Orders from the Lord of Mengwan
Chapter 204: Orders from the Lord of Mengwan (3000 subscriptions required)
Endless heights.
Four tables were placed firmly in the air, on which were placed all kinds of fine wines and delicacies, and even Xu Yang was given one.
At a high level, delicious food and fine wine are just embellishments, and everyone mainly enjoys the comfort and relaxation of eating and talking. For example, before Xu Yang reached the immortal realm, he could see various realm masters and domain masters devouring blood food at banquets. However, after reaching the immortal level, he found that after attending so many banquets, he never saw blood food again. The tables were filled with fine wine, exotic fruits and vegetables.
Everyone was a demon with status and position, and they were no longer willing to eat blood. Moreover, after becoming immortal, they were all divine beings, and they couldn't eat anything. If there were some rare and exotic animals that tasted really good, everyone would only be willing to taste them in private, and not lose their composure at a banquet.
Therefore, the higher the level, the more similar the habits of different ethnic groups become.
At the lower level, the demons ate raw meat and drank blood, while the humans cooked food, with a clear distinction between them.
At the top levels, everyone appears civilized on the surface, and there is not much difference in the small details of living habits.
……
The three parties sat opposite each other, with Venerable Blood Flame and Overlord Cang Gu occupying one side each, while Overlord Tuntian and Xu Yang sat on the other side.
The Sky-Swallowing Overlord raised his claws and personally poured a glass of cool wine for the Canggu Overlord.
"Brother Canggu, I wonder what instructions Lord Meng Wan has? As long as it is something I can do, I will naturally do my best." said the Overlord Tuntian.
"Brother Tuntian, you are too polite. I will speak frankly. This central star region has allowed these hundreds of weak tribes to multiply for billions of epochs. Do you know why the four major tribes suddenly joined forces to wipe out these small tribes?" The Overlord Cang Gu took a sip of wine, and one could even see the wine flowing through his bones.
"Jointly dispatch troops? I really didn't know that." The Overlord of Devouring Heaven was shocked. The message sent by Dream Demon Ancestor only said that they would sweep the central star region, but did not say that the four tribes would join forces. No wonder we saw the battle between the Lord of Desolate Mirror and the Lord of Meng Wan before.
"I do not know either."
The Overlord Cang Gu smiled and said, "I was not told until I arrived at the battlefield. It turned out that it was because the borders of our four top tribes were too close. The top strongest people discussed with each other and decided to change this situation. The specific details have not been disclosed yet, but one of them is to open up a new battlefield."
"And the battlefield was chosen to be located in this central star region. These weak tribes have naturally become piglets. After being raised for billions of epochs, it's time to slaughter them."
At this point, Overlord Cang Gu was the first to laugh, and Venerable Xue Yan and Overlord Tun Tian also laughed.
Yes, maybe a long time ago, the strongest people at the top had thought of this day. These hundreds of weak tribes coveted the richness of the central star region, and coveted that it was once the center of the universe and had great secrets... Little did they know that they were just pigs raised there, waiting for the day when their masters wanted to eat meat and would wield the butcher knife to slaughter them.
Xu Yang didn't laugh out loud, but a smile that suited the atmosphere appeared on his face.
He did not feel sad for these hundreds of weak tribes. In a sense, he was already a "carnivore" in the universe. And just as he said when he led the Youxin Army to slaughter the Yanji tribe, he must not be soft on his enemies.
There are no absolute enemies or friends among ethnic groups.
The relationship between each other can change in an instant because of interests. Therefore, every helmsman is "cold-blooded". A strong man who is too compassionate is not suitable to be a qualified helmsman no matter how strong he is.
The conversation between the three overlord-level strongmen once again reminded Xu Yang in his heart that he should always reflect on himself - he was determined to be respected and become an ancestor, so he should not have those unnecessary emotions.
"I see that the Yanji tribe on the Yanji continent has become extinct. Have you started to destroy the continent?" The Overlord Cang Gu took a sip of wine and pointed at the Yanji continent which was still rumbling below.
Venerable Blood Flame took over the conversation and said, "Yes, the power of the Yanji tribe's sacrificial tower cannot be swept out, so this is the only way to find it."
"How many have you found so far?"
"Over the past few decades, 14 more sacrificial towers have been found through this method. Together with the ones destroyed at the beginning, a total of 81 sacrificial towers have been found." The eyes of Venerable Blood Flame were full of smiles. He had earned at least 7 trillion demon yuan in a few decades, so even he could not remain calm.
"Huh." The Overlord Canggu put down his wine glass, his face full of emotion, "The Yanji tribe can be regarded as a relatively wealthy tribe in this battlefield. Your two tribes have made a lot of money this time."
Without waiting for the Blood Flame Venerable and the Heaven Devouring Overlord to respond, it continued, "Blood Flame, Heaven Devouring, stop dismantling the continent. Eat the big part, and leaving a small part is not bad either."
"Why is this happening? Is this the order from Lord Meng Wan?" Venerable Blood Flame asked in surprise. The remaining 19 sacrificial towers were no small fortune. If Lord Meng Wan had not asked him to do so, he would not have been willing to give them up.
The Heaven Devouring Overlord had more experience. Combining what the Canggu Overlord had said before, he guessed, "Brother Canggu, could it be because of the establishment of the battlefield? Lord Mengwan has set his eyes on the Yanji Continent and wants to transform it into a battlefield?"
"Brother Tuntian is more experienced. You still need to practice more with Xueyan." The Overlord of Canggu teased the Venerable Xueyan, who snorted coldly. It didn't take it as an offense. The friendship between the three of them was not fake. Although they were not brothers in life and death, they were old friends for many years and knew a lot about the temper of the Venerable Xueyan. Although on weekdays, because of the support of the master, the two of them were a little restrained towards him, but once they got drunk, they would not care about their identity and background. "Brother Tuntian is right. My master decided to keep the Yanji Continent this time as a map of the future battlefield. After all, the battlefield can't be fought entirely in the starry sky. Such a large piece of land can make the battlefield a lot more interesting." The Overlord of Canggu said with a smile, "The remaining 19 sacrificial towers inside will be used as rewards for the warriors who come here to hone their skills in the future. After all, it will be more attractive if there is a gimmick."
At this time, Venerable Blood Flame couldn't help but mutter beside him: "What about the loss of me and Tuntian... This is a treasure worth tens of trillions of demon yuan after all."
Hearing this, Overlord Tiantian showed no expression. Now he and Venerable Xueyan are in a community of interests, so naturally he would not sabotage. When Overlord Canggu heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Xueyan, Tiantian, you two tribes are short of this little wealth, you can't ask me to make it up to you, right? When Master sent me here, he only asked me to remind you not to tear down the continent, but he didn't allocate a separate amount to me... Even if you sell me, I can't afford these tens of trillions."
The Overlord Cang Gu had a face full of complaints. As for the fact that he couldn't afford the compensation, it was just something he could just listen to. As the only Overlord-level powerhouse under Lord Meng Wan, he had more than one treasure on him, and even if he sold any of the remaining treasures, it would be more than this amount.
Xueyan and Tuntian looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. The Overlord of Canggu made it very clear that the mainland was not allowed to demolish the buildings anymore, and there was no way to make up for the loss.
You can't just go to Lord Mengwan's door and cause trouble.
"Hehe, although it cannot be demolished, you can explore it at will without destroying the main structure of this continent." The Overlord of Cang Gu was a little embarrassed and took a sip of wine to cover it up.
Xu Yang stuck his head out to take a look at the Yanji Continent, which had a diameter of 1.8 million light years at its widest point and a thickness of more than billion kilometers, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
If the continent is not to be destroyed as the Overlord of Cang Gu said, not to mention that 100,000 immortals are not enough, even if there are ten times more, asking a million immortals to search for the sacrificial tower with the naked eye in such a vast soil layer would be almost like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, the Heaven Devouring Overlord simply said, "Forget it. Leave a way out for everything. These treasures will be left to the lucky ones in the future."
The reason why he was willing to stay here before was because there was hope of obtaining the hidden sacrificial tower in one or two hundred years. Compared with the huge wealth, the time delayed by more than 50,000 immortals under his command was nothing.
And now, if they want to get this sacrificial tower, the time these fifty thousand immortals will spend here will be unknown, at least one hundred thousand years... In comparison, the cost-effectiveness is too low. The God-Devouring Wolf Clan still has such a large territory that needs these immortals to guard. There will be no problem in withdrawing so many immortals in a short time, but it is hard to say over a long period of time.
"That's what I meant." Venerable Blood Flame also spoke.
Now that the three parties have reached a consensus, the atmosphere became heated again, with people toasting each other and having a lively time.
The four venerables who received the order below began to gather the army and let the immortals take turns to clean the surface of Yanji Continent again to avoid missing any places. And the four of them also flew to this endless height, set up the table and participated in the banquet.
……
Two years later.
The continent is 1.8 light years in diameter. Even if the immortals fly at sub-light speed, it still took almost two years to sweep it again.
However, there was not a single sign of fatigue on the faces of any immortal. All of the beasts with different appearances had joyful expressions without exception.
When a whale falls, all things come to life.
For these immortals, the Yanji tribe is the giant whale that fell this time. As for the small fish and shrimps living on the seabed, their mouths will be full of oil even if they only eat a little bit of the leftovers.
"Jianludo, how many resources did you get this time?" A colorful rhinoceros with horns on its head and wearing standard black armor whispered to his companions.
The one it asked was a flower-tailed lynx who belonged to the same army but in another team. Jianludo just smiled and stretched out his four claws without saying anything.
"Hehe, I'm almost there. This is the first time I've seen so much wealth in my lifetime." A silly smile appeared on the face of the spotted rhinoceros. They were just the lowest-level soldiers in the God-Devouring Army. They only had the cultivation level of Immortal Army Lords, and the wealth on them was generally only tens of thousands of demon yuan.
After this genocide war, it gained nearly 50 million demon yuan in wealth, which was dozens of times its previous wealth!
With so many resources, it has more confidence in reaching the realm of marquis.

PS: I have fulfilled my promise of 10,000 chapters a day for a month, brothers, sisters and friends. Of course, I am still short of the amount for extra chapters with monthly tickets. I have put them all in my account and will not forget.
The update volume may drop sharply next month. Firstly, writing 10,000 posts a day a month is really energy-consuming, and my brain can't keep up. The controversial and stupid plot in the middle is proof of this. Secondly, I have to help my family with farm work, and I don't have enough time. I probably won't have the energy to write after basking in such hot weather.
Thank you all for your subscription and companionship during this month, orz.
The update volume will be reduced next month, please don't abandon me~~~
