CHAPTER 161: CHAPTER 155 GATHERING THE HUMAN CLAN

The next day.

The nine Commanders were already waiting at the door early.

Shi Nian met these members of the Demon Clan.

Having all witnessed Xi Lin being killed by a single punch, none of the nine Commanders dared to be negligent.

One of the Commanders respectfully handed over a storage ring.

"Commander Mo, this is Commander Xi Lin’s storage ring. Commander Xi Lin has been killed by you, and this should be the Great Commander’s spoils of war. The Great Commander left in a hurry yesterday and did not take it. Today, your subordinate has specifically brought it over."

Oh?

Shi Nian was somewhat surprised.

She was preoccupied with killing demons but forgot about the part of seizing treasures.

"Please check it, Great Commander." That Commander handed over the storage ring.

Shi Nian took it and casually, in front of these Commanders, summoned a trace of Demonic Qi and directly probed into the ring.

A Demon Clan’s storage ring needs to be opened with Demonic Qi.

These Demons were probably trying to test her as well.

But this was a trivial matter for Shi Nian.

According to Xiao Tong, both Demonic Qi and Spiritual Power are relatively low-level energies.

With her Pure Body, she could easily manipulate both magic power and spiritual power.

Thus.

In Mei City, Shi Nian’s combat power was actually not restricted at all.

Using this magic power was as convenient for her as using spiritual power.

Shi Nian inspected the inside of the ring.

Her eyes brightened unexpectedly.

This Xi Lin was quite wealthy!

Inside his storage ring, there were more than two thousand high-quality Demon Crystals, and aside from that, it contained many Elixirs and treasures; his assets were very substantial.

A high-quality Demon Crystal is equivalent to a high-quality Spirit Stone.

Shi Nian suddenly became enormously wealthy.

Speaking of which, she still owed Lu Zhuoyan Spirit Stones, and by rights, with the Spirit Stones now, she should repay him first.

But now it probably still isn’t possible to repay.

It’s not that Shi Nian was reluctant.

Last night.

After seeing the tragic state of the Human Cultivators, Shi Nian discussed it with Xiao Tong.

Xiao Tong expressed that if it’s a Cultivator, each high-quality Spirit Stone can transport a person to a designated place outside of Ling Country.

If it’s a common mortal, then one high-quality Spirit Stone can transport a thousand people.

Shi Nian is about to create a big stir in Mei City, and before that, she wants to send all the Humans out.

These two thousand Spirit Stones are timely assistance indeed.

Xi Lin was really a good demon.

Not only did he give up his position, but he also left her a considerable inheritance.

"Not bad." Shi Nian nodded in satisfaction, she tossed a pile of Xi Lin’s inheritance from the ring: "I cultivate my body, and my two sisters are Mortal Demons, I have no use for these items, so, you can buy them with the Demon Crystals."

Shi Nian now only wanted to deal with Demon Crystals.

The Commanders looked at each other, all displaying a rather troubled expression.

Shi Nian: "???"

What is going on.

Was there a need to be so distressed, these items are not bad either.

Finally.

A Commander stepped forward, cautiously picked up a bottle of elixir, and then respectfully presented a Storage Bag.

Shi Nian glanced at it.

She was shocked.

A basic bottle of elixir, the demon gave five top-grade Demon Crystals.

"What is this?" Shi Nian raised her eyebrows.

The Commander immediately knelt down: "Great Commander, the previous Great Commander just finished collecting Demon Crystals, and this subordinate currently only has so little left, perhaps you could give a little more time for me to exploit other Demon Clans?"

The other Commanders hurriedly handed over their Storage Bags and stated they would work even harder.

Shi Nian remained silent.

She coughed and said calmly, "Yes, that’s exactly what I mean. You all should quickly earn more Demon Crystals. Next time, if you are still scrimping and scraping like this, I will send you to accompany Xi Lin."

No demon found Shi Nian’s actions problematic; instead, they breathed a sigh of relief.

This Great Commander was rather reasonable, giving them some extra time at least.

Shi Nian calmly took back the basic bottle of elixir and directly placed it into her storage ring.

She had figured it out.

In this Demon Clan, as long as one has power, there’s no need for reason in one’s actions.

If theft was an option, why bother with a trade?

Basic elixirs were not really elixirs at all.

"Aside from collecting Demon Crystals, I have another task for you. I’m undergoing Body Refinement these days and need some bodies to absorb. Gather all the humans from Mei City for me. By absorbing these humans, I can cultivate the Blood Qi Demon Body in one go, advancing my Cultivation." Shi Nian declared.

"Blood Qi Demon Body?" Several Commanders hadn’t heard of this, but they felt a chill in their hearts.

This Great Commander truly is a demon among demons; even for Body Refinement, she uses Blood Qi!

"Try to gather as many humans as possible. If there are enough humans, the Blood Qi Demon Body will fully develop, and we won’t need to involve other demons. If not enough, then I’ll have to cultivate using demons as well. Also, make sure the humans are alive, not dead, as dead bodies will interfere with my training," Shi Nian instructed.

The Commanders promptly acknowledged.

Shi Nian asked two commanders to stay for updates, while the others were ordered to gather the humans.

One of the Commanders immediately sought the City Lord after leaving Shi Nian.

"City Lord, this is the situation. The Great Commander requests gathering all the townspeople," the Commander reported softly.

"Body of Blood Qi." The Ling Guang City Lord, experienced and knowledgeable, was somewhat surprised: "This is a tremendously upper-class demon body, but such a body is tyrannical. A slight error could let the Blood Qi corrode and cause the Cultivation to regress. Did this female demon just say the Blood Qi Demon Body will soon be fully formed?"

"Yes," the Commander responded.

Ling Guang City Lord was overjoyed: "Go, gather all the humans in the town for her. These humans are essentially useless anyway, merely outlets for venting. If she could leverage their blood qi to advance her Cultivation, that would be ideal. And if that fails, send her demons as well!"

The Commander complied and left.

Ling Guang City Lord was in high spirits.

He spoke to the void: "Feng Ying, what do you think? With Mo Yin’s strength, what rank could I achieve in the City Lord Ranking Battle?"

From the void, an ancient shadow emerged from the darkness, slightly smiled, and spoke in a hoarse voice: "Mo Yin’s strength is unfathomable. In this City Lord Ranking, Young Master can certainly contend for first place."

The hundred cities of Ling Country had now become a hundred demon cities.

The Demon Domain was vast, yet the environment was harsh. After the demons took over the land, many demons wanted their share.

The first batch of city lords, mostly having deep backgrounds, managed to seize a city. The initial distribution of cities relied entirely on who had more influential connections.

But the Demon Clan always adhered to the principle that strength prevails, thus after three months of management, a City Lord Ranking Battle would begin.

The city lords could send their best to participate in the City Lord Ranking Battle. The first-ranked city lord gets the first choice of cities followed by the next, and so on until all cities are re-assigned.

That day of the City Lord Ranking Battle was rapidly approaching.

It was because of this that the Ling Guang City Lord had previously treated Xi Lin with such courtesy, and now facilitated many things for Shi Nian.

Though Mei City was just a peripheral city, Ling Guang City Lord still wanted to vie for one of the central cities.

Mo Yin could be key to this.
