Chapter 930 Rules of the Foreign Tribes
These sixty spies were always like chess pieces for the foreign tribe"s intelligence network. They were controlled by Zhan Yue and Duan Shui. In their eyes, these two were G.o.ds.
Now, they saw the G.o.ds they respected act humbly to Queen Mother, while Queen Mother acted respectfully to Sir Ni Long.
When Sir Ni Long swept across everyone"s faces with a strange look, they felt guilty.
Such a fierce look that could pierce the conscience!
Ni Long revealed a smile. "Everyone, among all of you, perhaps some had come tens and thousands of years ago, and perhaps you are the offspring of your previous generation. This is not important. I will only ask you, do you know where your roots are?"
"Weathering Land!"
Although these spies stayed for tens and thousands of years in the Tian Xuan Land, all of them went through a brainwashed education. Therefore, the only alliance inside their hearts was to the Weathering Land. The only mission in their mind was to be a good spy.
When he saw them speaking in unison, Ni Long laughed with satisfaction. "Very good, good answer. Then for the Weathering Land, for the unfinished business, are you willing to offer everything you have, including your life and soul?"
"Yes, yes!" There came bursts of determined roars.
Ni Long chuckled. "Excellent, if some of you are from the original group, you should know my name, Ni Long, and my background."
Everyone began whispering in one another"s ears in the environment. When the foreign tribe"s elite warriors from the immemorial age heard Ni Long"s introduction, suddenly they remembered something. Each of their expressions changed drastically. Emotions of surprise, joy, even doubt and fear all came back thick and fast.
Sir Ni Long was the fierce vanguard from the G.o.ds of war thousands of years ago. He was an elite warrior at the Fifth Calamity of the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage!
"My seven brothers are elite warriors that have accompanied me on the war expedition to the Tian Xuan Land. Now, their bodies have perished, we plan to borrow seven of your bodies."
These words were spoken with a neither rushed nor slow tone, yet fear and trepidation emerged in everyone"s mind as they heard this.
When those sixty people heard about borrowing bodies, instantly they fell into silence. Each of them appeared ashen-faced. Their gazes turned unnatural and they did not dare to make eye contact with Sir Ni Long. They were afraid to get chosen if they locked eyes with him.
This was not a joke. Although the words were spoken nicely, the bodies were to be borrowed. Everyone was well aware that when they "lent" their bodies, it was the same as giving their lives!
If these powerful divine souls occupied their bodies, could they still keep their divine souls too? Certainly they would be killed on the spot.
The expression on Ni Long"s face went cold. "What, Queen Mother Golden Crow offered one of her children with her n.o.ble and unquestionable integrity as a residence for my divine soul… Yet you slaves are using all sorts of excuses?"
Queen Mother Golden Crow berated loudly, "Everyone, this is the best moment for you to contribute to the Weathering Land. Whichever one of you gets selected, that is a supreme honor. When you return to your homeland, you can bring honor to your ancestors and enjoy all the glory. Now if you use all sorts of excuses and enrage Sir Ni Long, your body will still be taken away and you will earn a bad reputation of disobedience!"
Inwardly, these elite warriors swore. Why would they send themselves to death? Whose lives were not precious? After working hard for the Weathering Land for tens and thousands of years, in the end they had to sacrifice themselves?
This was not all. If they did not offer their bodies, they would carry a bad reputation of disobedience? How could this reason exist in the world? Clearly, each of them felt unconvinced and showed it through their expressions.
They looked towards Zhan Yue and Duan Shui.
They only listened to Zhan Yue and Duan Shui. The Queen Mother Golden Crow did not have direct administration to them.
Therefore, they wanted to hear what these two leaders would say.
Zhan Yue gave a gentle cough and said with an apologetic smile, "Sir Ni Long, your majesty Queen Mother, let me make a bold statement. Currently, the Weathering Land is in time to need people. I am afraid killing amongst ourselves will shake the morale. Why not turn our target to those sects of the Tian Xuan Land? Only those reputable sects on the Tian Xuan Land went to the G.o.d Discarding Door. All of them were extremely powerful elite warriors. In fact, there were many Supreme Dao elite warriors amongst the second rated sects, yet they were not qualified to head to the G.o.d Discarding Door. Our hunting targets…"
When he said this, Zhan Yue carefully looked at Ni Long and Queen Mother.
Clearly, the expressionless face showed that they were not intrigued by his suggestion.
Ni Long shot a glance at Zhan Yue from the side. "Are there truly Genuine Supreme Dao elite warriors among these second rate sects?"
"Th… This…" Zhan Yue stuttered. "Even at the first-rate sects, there are only a few Genuine Supreme Dao elite warriors. Only the totem clans have multiple Genuine Supreme Dao warriors. Across the entire Tian Xuan Land, there won"t be more than fifty."
Ni Long said with a cold laugh, "According to your words, we can sweep the Tian Xuan Land with our forces now?"
Zhan Yue said with a bitter smile, "I would not dare to make this statement. I heard the Tian Xuan Land also has some trump cards, also some hidden and secluded warriors."
"Humph." Ni Long clearly appeared unsatisfied as he gave a ruthless look at Queen Mother. "Golden Crow, it seems you did not teach your subordinates well."
Queen Mother s.h.i.+vered with cold because the tone of Sir Ni Long was not friendly. He better not set on her children again. Thinking here, the expression of Queen Mother sank as she said with a piercing voice, "Zhan Yue, stop talking. These warriors that serve Sir Ni Long are all Heavenly Supreme Dao elite warriors. Their time is precious. They are the greatest trump cards for us to counterattack the Tian Xuan Land. We must not delay and sacrifice time for some low quality Supreme Dao bodies, it would be useless."
As soon as she spoke these words, Zhan Yue acted obediently and forced a smile. He knew that if he kept talking, perhaps they would not be borrowing the bodies of the subordinates, but his own Second Calamity Heavenly Supreme Dao body.
This was not a joke.
Among those seven divine souls, one was at the Fourth Calamity and two at the Third Calamity. The remaining four were not friendly figures either.
Ni Long"s judgmental tone emerged lightly, "If you don"t wish to get harmed, stay put. We will only borrow seven bodies."
Before Ni Long"s words dropped, a burst of lightning-like essences shot out from his eyes. It transformed into a few dozen biting cold lights and shot towards the sixty people.
These biting cold lights locked a dozen people directly as if it was a trick. It seemed as though a fixing talisman was stuck to their bodies as they could not get free.
"Now!"
The seven divine souls transformed into seven long rainbows and plunged down directly. Different shaped divine soul powers charged into the seven bodies directly.
Almost at the same time, the host of the seven bodies let out miserable cries. Instantly, their divine souls were killed by the Heavenly Supreme Dao divine souls and transformed into ashes. Their bodies were seized and a new owner now occupied them.
It seemed as if Ni Long was looking at an insignificant matter. He raised his arm lightly and those biting cold talismans flew away from the others. Then, they merged into the sky to transform into nothingness.
The six Heavenly Supreme Dao elite warriors with their newly acquired bodies were overjoyed. They knelt before him. "It"s our honor to meet you Sir Ni Long, thank you for bestowing us with bodies."
The others were dumbstruck. Although it was their comrades" bodies, they had to thank Sir Ni Long for giving them to him. This was no ordinary bandit-like reasoning.
Yet at this moment, these people were still in a panicked state. Despite having numerous thoughts, how could they speak up? Besides feeling fortunate, they were left with nothing to say.
That sharp voice belonging to Ni Long emerged once again, "I will only say it once. Offering yourself for the Weathering Land is an honor for both you and I. In this situation, perhaps you are the ones that offered your bodies, but in other more significant situations, perhaps it will be us. Therefore, do not feel it"s unfair and don"t complain. There is only one rule in the Weathering Land, to obey the strong!"
Obeying the strong was the iron rule.
When Queen Mother Golden Crow heard these words, her heart also thumped endlessly. Although one of her children was robbed, she realized she truly did not dare to complain.
This was the rule.
Ni Long said with an indifferent tone, "You seven will enter solitary training with me. It will take at least one hundred years, at most three or five hundred years, to refine these bodies. Golden Crow, you will report to me the situation of the Tian Xuan Land anytime you"re able. Also, investigate who killed my brother, Ni Ao!"
Queen Mother Golden Crow acted obediently and could only say yes.
When Ni Long and the others entered solitary training, finally the others felt relief and could breath freely. Each of their faces showed they were feeling fortunate from a disaster.
After this, no one would make any complaints. They were not the ones who died. Before the powerful Sir Ni Long, they did not have any capital to complain.
Zhan Yue brushed the sweat from his forehead. "The aura of Sir Ni Long was too powerful. Your majesty, what are we going to do next?"
Queen Mother Golden Crow said without hesitation, "The matter instructed by Sir Ni Long is priority. Sir Ni Ao was his bloodline brother. He has been killed by someone and we must investigate this thoroughly, regardless of all consequences."
Zhan Yue said with a bitter smile, "Didn"t you say that all the elite warriors went to hide in the G.o.d Discarding Maze? Where can we investigate?"
"Isn"t there some who haven"t gone?"
"Those are the minority, I"ve already investigated them. Besides the Qin Clan and their subordinate clans, all the others went into the G.o.d Discarding Maze without hesitation."
"Qin Clan, the Qin Clan again?!" Queen Mother Golden Crow knew that initially, her tenth son held a grudge with the Qin Clan. The Golden Crow never had any good impression of the owner of the Graceful Spiritual Bow either.
"Saber Beard." Zhan Yue waved his hand.
Saber Beard walked out carefully. This time, he was incredibly fortunate. When they were selecting seven bodies, he thought he would get picked for sure. Unexpectedly, he escaped with sheer luck.
"Sir Zhan Yue, I am here."
"You know the Qin Clan well, right?"
Saber Beard nodded. "I fought them a few times and know about them. The others in the Qin Clan are mediocre, but that Qin Wushuang is the most powerful. He is most powerful not due to his skills, but the speed of his growth. It seems as if others crawl forward step after step, but he flies all the way. His speed in training is monstrous."
"Yes, our information showed this. Last time when Tenth Majesty went to the Aspiring Throne Mountain, he did not make it through the mountain gate, is this true?"
Saber Beard gave a helpless sigh. "I also found it strange. Initially when Xin Tianwen attacked the mountain gate of the Qin Clan, the mere performance of a Genuine Supreme Dao weapon destroyed most of the mountain gate. Reasonably speaking, Tenth Majesty would not have been able to break it, as he surpa.s.sed those paramount totem elite warriors."
