"Interesting. This human land actually has such a force?"
In the Western part of the Blood Spring Wasteland, within the Blood Feather Palace, an area of eight hundred li was governed by the Blood Feather Crane clan. The four top tribes of the Blood Spring Wasteland were the Blood Feather Crane, Blood Phoenix, Blood Phoenix Lion, and Blood Sky Demon Spider, each guarding a quadrant for the Blood Devourer Wasteland Lord!
And this western region was the territory guarded by the Blood Feather Crane clan!
"A dynasty? Is this true?"
"Hmm?"
"Even the ten great dynasties of the human lands have been suppressed by the Iron Lion clan for a hundred thousand years, and you now tell this old man that the Iron Lion clan's million-strong army was annihilated by this so-called Great Han Dynasty!"
"How can a dynasty withstand the Iron Lion clan?"
"Do you truly take this old man for senile and muddled?"
"Hmm!"
Inside a grand hall of the Blood Feather Palace, an Iron Lion disciple knelt on the ground, trembling, not daring to raise his head.
Before him stood an elder with a face full of wrinkles, his eyelids drooping so low they almost covered his eyes.
"Elder Min Wu, I dare not deceive you. It's just that our Iron Lion clan's Blood Spring has collapsed. If the army hadn't met with an accident, the Blood Spring..."
"Silence!"
Min Wu shouted, his gaze fixed on the kneeling Iron Lion disciple. His expression gradually turned grim, a myriad of thoughts flashing through his mind. He knew of the Iron Lion clan's Blood Spring; before every major battle, the Iron Lion clan would inject their heart's blood into it. If it dried up, it signified the demise of their army.
A mere dynasty had annihilated the Iron Lion clan, who possessed Transcendent Realm cultivators?
"Elder!"
The Iron Lion disciple slightly raised his head.
"Hmph!"
Min Wu stood up, leaning on his cane, pacing back and forth in the hall. He suddenly looked at the Iron Lion disciple.
"Besides this old man, have you told anyone else?"
The Iron Lion clan, under the command of the Wasteland Lord, invaded the human lands. His Blood Feather Crane clan was the commander of this invasion. If the Iron Lion clan was truly annihilated in the southwest region, and this news spread, his Blood Feather Crane clan might also be implicated.
"I... I have not!"
"Our clan's Blood Spring has collapsed. If other tribes learn that our Iron Lion clan's million elite forces have all fallen in the human lands, our Iron Lion clan will likely..."
The Iron Lion disciple said hastily, his voice filled with fear. A million-strong army, several Transcendent Realm experts dead, the Iron Lion clan was bound to fall into an abyss. At best, they would be demoted to slaves by the Wasteland Lord; at worst, their entire clan would be wiped out!
"Very good!"
Min Wu breathed a sigh of relief. "Guards!"
"Elder!"
Two Transcendent Realm soldiers entered from outside the hall.
"Go, entertain him well. And have Fang Qiang take charge of the Iron Lion clan!"
Fang Qiang!
The Iron Lion disciple's face immediately lit up with joy. Fang Qiang was a top-tier Transcendent Realm expert. With him in charge, the clan would be safe!
"Thank you, Elder!"
"Thank you, Elder!"
"Enough, you may leave!"
Min Wu waved his hand. As the Iron Lion disciple walked out, a slender man emerged from behind the screen in the hall.
"Great Elder!"
The man walked up to Min Wu and bowed slightly.
"Zhan Song, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
Min Wu turned and sat down, picking up a cup of tea brewed with some unknown precious medicine, wisps of origin energy continuously emanating from it.
"Great Elder, this matter must be contained within the Iron Lion clan. According to the news from Lord Gong from the Blood Spring Valley, Blood Devourer Wasteland Lord's attempt to break through to the eighth turn has failed. If this news were to spread at this juncture, Blood Devourer Wasteland Lord will surely be enraged, and our Blood Feather Crane clan will inevitably be implicated!"
"What?"
"Failed!"
Min Wu was suddenly shocked, his face turning pale. The hand holding the teacup trembled violently, spilling the liquid onto the ground.
Failed!
Min Wu gripped his cane with trembling hands, his eyes vacant. "Go!"
"Go!"
"Tell Fang Qiang to firmly keep an eye on the Iron Lion clan, and also, if any other tribe provokes the Iron Lions, exterminate their entire clan!"
"Great Elder, this matter is not urgent. The human lands must be dealt with!"
Zhan Song said calmly.
"Yes!"
"Do you have any suggestions?"
Min Wu's expression gradually eased. He looked at Zhan Song, who stood beside him with a composed demeanor, and a satisfied smile appeared. Zhan Song was a junior from his lineage. Within the Blood Feather Crane clan, he and Xue Lingyu, the son of the current clan leader, were known as the Twin Jewels of the Feather Crane!
Under his continuous support and cultivation, Zhan Song had gradually entered the center of power within the Blood Feather Crane clan.
"Great Elder, since the Great Han Dynasty could annihilate the Iron Lion clan's million-strong army, what about the vanguard armies of the other three great wasteland regions?"
"You mean?"
"Precisely!"
Zhan Song nodded. "The vanguard armies of the other three great wasteland regions are likely not much different from the Iron Lion clan. Especially the Primordial Wasteland, which is currently undergoing a transfer of power and its situation is overly complex. The Fire Crow clan will surely act swiftly and decisively, perhaps even deploying cultivators in the Creation Realm!"
"The demise of the Great Han is not far off!"
"Great Elder, in my humble opinion, our clan could also dispatch a Creation Realm expert to penetrate deep into the southwest region. This way, we can also carve out a piece of the pie amidst this turmoil. Then, our Blood Feather Crane clan will have something to report to the Wasteland Lord!"
"Excellent, excellent, excellent!"
Min Wu laughed heartily. "Then let us proceed according to your plan!"
"Yes!"
...
"Your subordinate, Zhan Zhao, Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu!"
"Greetings, General!"
at the south gate of Great Han's Chang'an City, Zhou Yu Ji escorted the Empress Weiyang, Fan Lingyue, to Chang'an.
"Rise!"
Zhou Yu Ji smiled and waved his hand. As the various legions of the Great Han gradually matured, renowned figures were placed in charge of regional governance or military command. The defense of Chang'an City fell to Zhan Zhao, Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu.
"Fusion Heaven seventh layer!"
Empress Weiyang, Fan Lingyue, dismounted from her chariot and looked at the five rising figures. Their formidable origin energy, their Fusion Heaven seventh layer strength, was clearly evident!
Fusion Heaven seventh layer cultivators, if this were half a year ago, or even now, in other parts of the human lands, they would be supreme experts traversing thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. Yet, in the Great Han, they were merely guarding generals at the capital's city gates!
The Great Han!
Empress Weiyang, Fan Lingyue, looked up slightly, gazing at the magnificent city gate. Then, she looked at Zhou Yu Ji, who was currently exchanging pleasantries with Zhan Zhao, Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu. She gradually understood!
If even the vanguard generals who fought on all fronts were seventh layer Transcendent Realm experts, then it was not surprising that Fusion Heaven seventh layer cultivators guarded the city gates!
"The Great Han Dynasty!"
Empress Weiyang, Fan Lingyue, followed the bustling crowd and looked inward. The further she went, the more concentrated the origin energy became, and the more profound and majestic the imperial might grew!
"Zhan Zhao, Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu!" Su Dan Novel Network
"We greet the Human Emperor Weiyang!"
After Zhou Yu Ji's introduction, the five bowed deeply to the Human Emperor who had once stoically supported the spine of humanity!
Then, they shouted in unison, "Grant passage!"
"Human Emperor, please!"
