Chương 101: In Front of Me?
On the Origin Continent, there lies a vast frozen plain known as the 'Heaven's Extreme Ice Plain.' Its territory is so extensive that it can rival the domain of the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom. However, due to the harsh environment, the number of cultivators is less than one percent of those in the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom.
Heaven's Extreme Ice Plain has no established nations, only scattered factions.
"Hu." Jiu Jiang Hou's incarnation stood before the large icy city, 'Jue Feng City.'
Jue Feng City was also a large city, entirely constructed of ice, with a population several times larger than that of Huyang City.
In the Heaven's Extreme Ice Plain, only within the cities are there enough cultivators, while outside the cities... one can hardly find any tribes, as the harsh environment makes it difficult for them to survive.
"Finally, the Great Sage Jue Feng has emerged from seclusion." Jiu Jiang Hou had received a message and came to visit the Great Sage Jue Feng again.
In the center of the towering city, there was a vast cave mansion, the dwelling of the city's lord, the Great Sage Jue Feng.
"Jiu Jiang Hou, please," an Eternal True God servant personally guided him to the entrance of the cave mansion.
Soon, they arrived at a grand hall.
"Come, come, Brother Jiu Jiang, have a seat," said a burly figure with dark green skin, grinning widely, "I've been in seclusion for a while, making you wait for too long."
"Brother Jue Feng's cultivation is the most important matter," Jiu Jiang Hou smiled, flattering him.
He sought aid from those on par with Liu Yin Hou.
This Great Sage Jue Feng lived freely, refusing to join any nation. He occupied a large city, leading millions of cultivators and enjoying a life of leisure, yet no one dared to provoke him.
In terms of strength, the Great Sage Jue Feng was on par with Liu Yin Hou, also a peak-level Chaos Realm existence.
In terms of background, the Great Sage Jue Feng had once been a registered disciple under an emperor of the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom. However, due to the fierce competition among the many elites in the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom, he eventually chose to leave and become a freewheeling Great Sage in the Heaven's Extreme Ice Plain.
"Haha, you always know how to talk, Jiu Jiang," the Great Sage Jue Feng laughed, "So, what brings you here this time?"
Jiu Jiang Hou put down his cup and said, "Brother Jue Feng, my neighbor, Liu Yin Hou, is currently plotting against my fief..."
"I've heard about your troubles," the Great Sage Jue Feng nodded, "Liu Yin Hou is vicious and tyrannical; it would be strange if he didn't bully you."
Jiu Jiang Hou's face stiffened as he nodded, "Indeed, I can't resist him, which is why I'm seeking your help! If Brother Jue Feng is willing to assist, whatever you need, just name it."
The Great Sage Jue Feng took a large, azure-gold cup, drank the wine, and then said, "There's no one in your Yu Kingdom willing to help, is there?"
Jiu Jiang Hou nodded, "That's right. In our Yu Kingdom, there are only a few who can match Liu Yin Hou. Even the Lord of the Kingdom would find it difficult to mobilize them. How could I possibly persuade them?"
"Of course you can't persuade them!"
The Great Sage Jue Feng set down his cup, "After going through countless hardships to reach the Chaos Realm, who would be willing to risk their life for you? If you could offer a 'God-King Weapon' or similar treasures, you might invite some powerful allies. But do you have such treasures?"
"I don't," Jiu Jiang Hou replied.
"You say 'anything you need,' but you can't even produce real treasures. Who would risk their life for you against Liu Yin Hou?" the Great Sage Jue Feng shook his head, "Who is Liu Yin Hou? He's vicious, vengeful, and a peak-level Chaos Realm existence who could breakthrough to the God-King level at any moment."
"Risking one's life against such an existence? You think you can convince someone with mere words?" the Great Sage Jue Feng sneered, "Jiu Jiang, you've handled this poorly."
"Brother Jue Feng, I know I don't have enough treasures to offer," Jiu Jiang Hou said helplessly, "but it involves my fief, and I have no other choice."
"Your fief includes three large cities and 189 ordinary cities," the Great Sage Jue Feng teased, "If I help you protect your fief, then from now on, the 'residence fees' from two large cities and a hundred ordinary cities will be mine. Can you accept that?"
Jiu Jiang Hou felt a bit embarrassed.
Would he be left with only Jiu Jiang City and a few ordinary cities?
Even a top-level Chaos Realm being, without ambition, could easily occupy a large city.
If he fought Liu Yin Hou to the bitter end and was left with so little, would it even be worth it?
"You see, you're not willing to let go," the Great Sage Jue Feng shook his head, "The battle for a fief isn't a short-term struggle but a long-term one. It means making a lifelong enemy of Liu Yin Hou! Without enough benefits, who would help you? Come on, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's just drink."
Jiu Jiang Hou could only drink in frustration.
An epoch had passed.
He had originally thought that with his many friends, he might be able to find a powerful ally.
But when it came to fighting Liu Yin Hou, he couldn't find a single one willing to help!
Outside Huyang City.
Huah.
Blood-colored flames condensed, revealing an incarnation of Liu Yin Hou.
"The last battle at Huyang City should have made Jiu Jiang Hou realize that he can't win a battle between eternal-level armies," Liu Yin Hou looked at Huyang City from afar, "So, he's been traveling around, inviting friends for help."
Liu Yin Hou had also heard about Jiu Jiang Hou's attempts to seek out powerful allies.
"An epoch has passed; Jiu Jiang Hou should have recognized reality. I bet he couldn't get anyone to help," Liu Yin Hou was confident, a confidence forged through endless years.
He had always acted ruthlessly, so even those of the same level had to carefully consider the cost of intervening.
"Even if he manages to bring in help, we'll just have to fight it out," Liu Yin Hou thought.
The reason he was patient was that even if his eternal-level army won and temporarily occupied three large cities, if Jiu Jiang Hou brought in strong reinforcements, he would still have to fight in person.
It would be better to wait patiently, to see the situation clearly.
Maybe Jiu Jiang Hou, knowing he was outmatched, would simply concede and give up his fief.
"Yaner," Liu Yin Hou transmitted his order.
"Father," in Huyang City, at the Xin Ying Sect's base, Liu Yin Yan heard his father's voice.
"You can contact your senior brothers and sisters now, and have those two Snow Domain Envoys come as well," Liu Yin Hou ordered, "Once your senior brothers and sisters arrive, prepare well, and we can begin the battle. I suspect... this time, Jiu Jiang Hou might just surrender."
"Yes, Father," Liu Yin Yan was delighted.
Within Huyang City.
The blood-robed youth, Liu Yin Yan, after receiving his father's orders, was overjoyed and immediately contacted his senior brothers and sisters.
"The war between Liu Yin Chaos Prefecture and Jiu Jiang Chaos Prefecture has reached its final stage. My father predicts that Jiu Jiang Hou, knowing he is no match, might surrender," Liu Yin Yan transmitted. "I request the help of my senior brothers and sisters to attack Jiu Jiang Hou's army together."
"Master has already instructed us, we will naturally assist."
"Don't worry, junior brother, we will arrive as quickly as possible."
Having received approval from the Snow Domain Ancestor, the two Snow Domain Envoys had already prepared. Once Liu Yin Hou summoned them, they would naturally rush to assist as quickly as possible.
After the communication ended, Liu Yin Yan was very excited.
"Young Master Yan, since the Lord predicts that Jiu Jiang Hou will surrender, it seems this battle will go smoothly," said the black-armored general beside him, also excitedly anticipating the fight.
"What does Jiu Jiang Hou have to fight against my father?" Liu Yin Yan laughed, "My senior brothers and sisters are on their way; I should prepare some food for them."
"Prepare food?" The black-armored general's eyes lit up.
He had followed the young master to the Snow Domain for cultivation and knew exactly what this 'food' was.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure you get a share," Liu Yin Yan glanced at his subordinate.
"Thank you, Young Master Yan," the black-armored general was overjoyed.
Liu Yin Yan casually pointed, revealing a model of Huyang City. He glanced at it and pointed to a certain area, "There are countless cultivators in Huyang City. This is the Feng Yi District, where approximately ten billion cultivators reside. Offering them to my senior brothers and sisters as food should be sufficient."
"Let's go."
Liu Yin Yan led his men, along with the Snow Domain Envoy, quietly leaving the Xin Ying Sect's base.
A single Snow Domain Envoy could not crush Jiu Jiang Hou's army. However, simply protecting itself was very easy.
Even with Luo Feng's displayed strength, he couldn't do anything to the 'Snow Domain Envoy.'
Huu.
This Snow Domain Envoy left the Xin Ying Sect's base, heading straight for the Feng Yi District of Huyang City.
"That Young Master Yan has left the base?" The Xin Ying Sect's leader and the eighteen elders quickly received the news.
"We only need to keep an eye on the City Lord's mansion. The Snow Domain Envoy comes and goes as it pleases; no one can threaten it," the Xin Ying Sect's leader instructed, and the other elders understood. They were not qualified to interfere with that Snow Domain Envoy.
Huu!
With just a few steps, the Snow Domain Envoy traversed space and arrived above the Feng Yi District.
At this moment, the cultivators in the Feng Yi District were almost all hiding in their residences, not daring to venture out.
Nowadays, Huyang City was filled with fear and tension. The City Lord's mansion's formation covered the entire city, and the Xin Ying Sect's formation rippled outward like waves, making the ordinary cultivators terrified.
"Who knows when this will end."
"It doesn't matter who rules Huyang City, as long as we continue paying the residence fees. Let's just survive this ordeal."
The Feng Yi District indeed housed about ten billion cultivators, all of them enduring the situation.
Right now, trying to leave the city was too risky. With the two great powers' formations clashing, a stray shockwave could easily take one's life! The residence areas, with their protective formations, could at least resist some of the shockwaves.
"Ten billion blood offerings." The Snow Domain Envoy, pure white as snow, holy and immaculate, looked down at the area below. Its arm extended, and its hand grew enormously large.
The snow-white hand covered the sky above the Feng Yi District and reached down to grab it.
"Hmm?"
Such a massive movement naturally drew attention from all sides.
Whether it was General Yue Wu, who controlled the large formation, Emperor Chu Yu from the Yan Feng Pavilion, who could observe the entire city, or Luo Feng and Morosa at the Chaos Realm level—they all witnessed this scene.
"What is it trying to do?" Morosa was stunned.
"Snow Domain Envoy?" Luo Feng watched the scene unfold.
The Snow Domain Ancestor had once become a God-King through the 'Bloodline Path' within the Life Source Path.
Blood is incredibly mysterious.
It contains endless information, and possessing a powerful bloodline allows for rapid progress in cultivation! Even Morosa's evolution could be accelerated by absorbing some strong bloodline information.
And the Snow Domain Ancestor had long mastered the 'Bloodline Path' and had even begun cultivating other branches of the Life Source Path.
To practice the Bloodline Path secret techniques, the Snow Domain cultivators favored capturing 'blood offerings,' which were crucial resources for their cultivation.
"Trying to capture all the beings in the Feng Yi District? More blood offerings?" Luo Feng, who also studied the Life Source Path, understood clearly that gathering some blood alone could suffice for cultivating the 'Bloodline Path.'
Direct capture and long-term blood extraction were purely for convenience.
Those who were kept for long-term blood extraction suffered a fate far worse than death.
"Coming to capture blood offerings right in front of me?" Luo Feng shook his head slightly, then vanished into thin air, leaving Morosa momentarily stunned. Morosa then felt an itch for action: "Master can fight whenever he pleases; when will I be able to act so freely?"
Rumble...
The Snow Domain Envoy's snow-white hand covered the sky above the Feng Yi District, causing the ten billion beings in the district to tremble in fear. The protective formation over the area was easily torn apart by the snow-white hand.
"No!"
"We're doomed."
"Why are they targeting us?"
"We're just True Gods."
The ten billion beings had no power to resist and looked on in despair.
Suddenly—
Splat!
A hand emerged from the void, piercing through the chest of the pure white Snow Domain Envoy.
