I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life

Chapter 436 - 284: Red Flame Demon Division (2)

"And your actions, towards the dynasty’s internal affairs, represent only my grandfather’s personal loyalty to avenge Yong’an City, not involving the royal family.

Externally, it’s you taking action, so the Demon Race cannot pressure the dynasty because of this.

Moreover, because of your power within the marshes, and not actually harming the Red Flame Demon Race, this matter will certainly be downplayed.

After all, the Demon Race still wants to use you to restrain the Central State Dynasty.

The ultimate result is that my grandfather is cleared of grievances, even receiving rewards from the Saint Emperor, further benefiting the development of Qianji City’s puppet commerce.

You, on the other hand, can annually refine many High-Tier puppets and receive a substantial Spirit Stone payment... it’s a win-win situation, why not?"

After Li Jizhou finished speaking, a group of Puppet Masters communicated secretly.

A moment later,

"Kid, we’ve said we won’t take action, so we really won’t take action; we’ll at most release the puppets to make a show of strength."

"Of course!" Li Jizhou smiled warmly, everything was under his control.

"Tell us the timing; best not to drag it out too long, we’re very busy and don’t have time to wait around!" A group of Puppet Masters were straightforward, mainly because they were overwhelmed by a batch of High-Tier puppets.

"It’ll be over within half a month!" Li Jizhou affirmed.

"Good! Then hurry back to prepare, we’ll wait for your news."

This group of High-Tier Puppet Masters has the ability to traverse the void, and the distance from here to Yong’an City and the border with the Red Flame Demon Division is only a hundred thousand miles, just a matter of crossing.

"In addition, I ask all you masters for a favor!" Li Jizhou spoke while tossing out a hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones.

Putting a hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones on the High-Tier puppet trade isn’t a lot.

But casually tossing out a hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones signifies wealth and attitude.

It boosts these people’s confidence, serving as insurance for the affair at Yong’an City in half a month.

"What is it?" The group of Puppet Masters looked cautiously at Li Jizhou.

The trust level was already not too high, and he suddenly produced so many Spirit Stones, they feared he might ask something excessive, greatly reducing their expectations for Jin Zhaoyu.

"Please, masters, keep an eye on two matters for me. First, a Tier Four Demon Beast, frog-type, it should have a colorful exterior."

The group of Puppet Masters stared at each other, just that? Merely an observation.

"What about the second?" They thought the main issue must be the second matter.

"The second is that I hope you masters can help find out where the headquarters of Celestial Punishment is hiding. This is my small token, please." Li Jizhou directly tossed the hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones to Master Mu Yu.

Qianji City is filled with Puppet Masters, although there are top-tier Puppet Masters in command regulating the entire city, the main focus is to provide a stable environment for the craft of puppetry, allowing Puppet Masters from all over to refine their skills here, unconcerned with other matters.

Furthermore, relying on the endless puppet army tactic, no one is feared, as long as those who come to this city do not affect the development of the Puppetry Skill, they are ignored.

Thus, it is also a place where foulness and filth hide, many from the Central State Dynasty who committed crimes hide here.

Compared to Poison City, Qianji City is a favorite hiding spot for some major outside forces.

"Just scouting for information?" Master Mu Yu pinched a bag of Spirit Stones, somewhat astounded, this kind of task many would be eager to undertake.

"Grandfather said, Master Mu Yu is a trustworthy person." Li Jizhou stated succinctly.

"Fellow Jin Zhaoyu has a keen eye!" Master Mu Yu nodded solemnly.

Li Jizhou did not linger further, took his leave and departed.

Watching Li Jizhou truly leave like that, and indeed leaving those hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones behind.

Confirmed he was merely asking them to help find these two pieces of information.

Instantly, the trustworthiness of Li Jizhou and Jin Zhaoyu soared in their hearts.

No longer doubting the Red Flame Demon Division affair.

"Come, let’s use these Spirit Stones to solve some of the backlog of puppets, those with the most backlog come first." Master Mu Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After distributing the Spirit Stones, he spoke seriously: "The connection with Jin Zhaoyu is our future hope, we must ensure nothing goes wrong, this time we must exert all efforts.

You all go back and prepare well, not to mention combat prowess, at least make a grand display, all borrow puppets,

bring along those Tier Two and Tier Three puppets from your disciples and grand-disciples.

Additionally, these tasks from the young man must be completed, have your disciples and grand-disciples send out puppets good at exploring and tracking, best to secure the two pieces of information within half a month."

After leaving Qianji City, Li Jizhou continued straight toward the Demon Race of Nanling.

Though the Red Flame Demon Division is not among the top ten large demon tribe clans of Nanling, it does not mean the Red Flame Demon Division is not strong.

On the contrary, it is said the tribal ancestor of the Red Flame Demon Division is a bloodline mutation from the ancient High-Tier wild giant beast, the Red Flame Hou.

After acquiring the ability to transform, its intelligence opened up, also possessing the body form of the leader of all beings, not only inheriting the power of its bloodline but also mastering Demon Race Cultivation Techniques with extraordinary speed.

The current tribal chief is a Tier Five peak Demon Cultivator, with the bloodline divine ability of Innate Thunderfire, even Human Race Refining Void Divine Monarchs who do not have special restraint against Innate Thunderfire may not be its match.

If not for the small number of demons within the tribe, it would undoubtedly be ranked among the top ten demon tribes.

"Young master, I heard the female demons of the Red Flame Demon Race are all passionate like fire, the male demons are equally gender-indifferent; young master, you being a tender young human male cultivator, going alone may be somewhat dangerous!" Hong Luan was worried about Li Jizhou going alone to the Red Flame Demon Division.

Although the Demon Race has fully opened its intelligence, it still retains many innate tendencies, the Red Flame Demon Race is impulsive by nature, they don’t waste time debating; if they want to kill, they kill without much consideration.

This includes reproduction as well, if they fancy someone, they act, regardless of racial boundaries.

Within the tribe, the female demons are all passionate like fire, while the male demons are straightforward.

This is indeed true.

"Since you worry about me so much, how about you go and make the invitation!" Li Jizhou casually said.

"..." Hong Luan’s usually sultry and charming expression instantly changed.

In front of Li Jizhou, or other humans, Hong Luan is usually flirtatious and alluring.

However, in front of true demons, she finds it hard to be at ease.

Because she is a half-demon.

Half-demons in the eyes of the Demon Race are impure mongrels, a disgrace to the Demon Race.

Every demon tribe, whenever a not fully transformed half-demon is born, either serves as slaves or is sold out, some ruthless demon parents even directly devour them.

Hong Luan, Cyan Dome, Cang Huang, Sable, the four half-demons all faced such fate.

Cyan Dome faced even worse.

The hatred within has never been hidden, not against the Human Race, but against the Demon Race.

According to Jin Zhaoyu when he offered the four girls back then, Cyan Dome’s tribe was from the ancient Ghost Shadow Dome Strider, best at speed, and even had spatial innate divine abilities.

Yet, for some reason, this group could never fully transform.

Each generation retained some of the ancestral characteristics, which made this group, though powerful, still ostracized by the orthodox Demon Race.

Having faced exterminations several times.

In Cyan Dome’s generation, their tribe had already fled to the southernmost tip of Nanling to hide from disaster, only to still be pursued by orthodox Demon Race, seeking to enslave them as mounts.

Ultimately, her parents died tragically, and she was enslaved for years.

Witnessing the tragic death of her parents, experiencing the pain of extermination personally, and spending years as a mount, her hatred knows no bounds.

From the moment she found a chance to escape, her heart was consumed by the flames of revenge.

Willingly to be subjugated by Jin Zhaoyu, the reason being Jin Zhaoyu can provide her with opportunities and resources for cultivation.

It can be said, all her efforts over the years were for revenge.

Revenge against the orthodox Demon Race.

Especially those Demon Divisions that exterminated her tribe.

Among them, was the Red Flame Demon Division!
