Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Aside from Zi-Dong-Lei, the other Clan Leaders also realized it. They all admired and were keen on Zheng-Fu's plan. Because it would cause them to lose less of their clan's manpower. Which would make their strength and power hardly decrease at all from this battle.

"By the way, how much explosive blood powder do you have?" While the others were delighted, the Ma Clan Leader asked. Although this plan was very good, if there was not enough explosive blood powder, then it was just their imagination.

That's right!

"Little Comrade, how much explosive blood powder do you have? Will it be enough for..."

"City Governor, rest assured. I have enough to kill millions of low-level demon monster beasts. But I have some conditions... You don't think I'll use it to protect your city for free, do you?" Zheng-Fu raised his hand to interrupt Zi-Dong-Lei before he spoke seriously.

Ah!!!

Hearing that, everyone's smiles disappeared immediately. But soon after thinking it over with fairness, their expressions returned to normal. Since no one would be willing to lose their personal property for free over something that was none of their business. Therefore, they understood what Zheng-Fu said.

"Then what do you want in return, Little Comrade?" Zi-Dong-Lei understood as well, so he asked what Zheng-Fu wanted in exchange.

"I don't lack money, nor do I lack the resources to cultivate or magical items." Zheng-Fu pretended to think for a moment before speaking.

"Since you're not willing to use the explosive blood powder and do not want to exchange for anything, then why did you propose this plan!?" The Gong Clan Leader, who had just recovered his face, asked angrily but still maintained his imposing manner.

"You're wrong, Gong Clan Leader! Did I tell you that I'd give you the explosive blood powder without exchanging anything? Did anyone hear me say that? Are you trying to frame me? Or is it because I let you experiment on blood powder and made your face... turn out like that, so you'd like to make everyone dissatisfied with me?"

Zheng-Fu immediately put on a gloomy face, pretending to be weak as he said those words that caused the Gong Clan Leader to lose face and be ashamed.

You!

"Enough, Gong Clan Leader! This matter is very important. Wait until Little Comrade finishes speaking!" Of course, Zi-Dong-Lei would be on Zheng-Fu's side, so he asked Gong Clan Leader to stop talking first.

Tch!

"Actually, I have everything and don't want anything more. But for the sake of the City Governor who welcomed and took good care of me, I'll exchange the explosive blood powder for the remains of seven-tenths of the demon monster beasts that invaded this time, including the remains of all the Great Deity Stage and above demon monster beasts that are in good condition! If any of them are in bad condition, the person who caused them to be so will have to compensate me!"

Ah!!!

Zheng-Fu's words shocked everyone. As for the remains of those demon monster beasts, although they were valuable, they were not rare. Moreover, the number of them this time was enormous; they would definitely not be able to eat all of their meat, so every clan could accept it. But the remains of the Great Deity Stage demon monster beasts that were in perfect condition were the problem. It was not easy to kill them in good condition. Not to mention the king who led them to attack, and how strong and difficult it was to deal with.

Are you crazy!?

"Do you think it's easy to deal with the Great Deity Stage demon monster beasts while keeping them intact? And even if we did, we would have to get a share of this!"

Of course, when it came to benefits, greedy people would still be greedy. Because the remains of the Great Deity Stage demon monster beast were very precious. Every part of them was valuable; they could be used as ingredients to concoct energy-boosting pills, their bones could be used to forge weapons, and even their skin could be used to make armor. So, everyone wanted a share.

Right!

"At least we should get a share!"

"As for the low-level demon monster beasts' remains, we'll let you take them. But for those of the Great Deity Stage demon monster beasts, we won't be able to do that!"

When the first person spoke, the second and third followed, and they were the clan leaders who had always disagreed, namely Mou Clan Leader, Xin Clan Leader, Gong Clan Leader, and Lun Clan Leader, as well as several other mid-level clan leaders.

You guys!!!

Zi-Dong-Lei and Ma Clan Leader immediately became serious when they heard that. Because Zheng-Fu's plan would save them from losing manpower and greatly reduce the damage to their cities. Without Zheng-Fu's explosive blood powder, each clan would suffer such severe damage that it would take decades for them to recover to their original strength.

"This is up to you guys. I won't force you to accept my offer, and I have no stake in it anyway. But let me warn you, the demon monster beast hordes will be here soon, and when that time comes, my plan will be meaningless!"

Zheng-Fu did not care about those opposing parties. No matter what they chose, he could benefit from this crisis. But if these people did not accept his offer, the situation would weaken their large force.

You!

Of course, Zheng-Fu's words hit the nail on those people's heads because everything he said was all true. He did not even need to reach out to help them.

"Little Comrade, please calm down. Your plan is very important to us. Can Little Comrade please reconsider?" Zi-Dong-Lei did not give up. He knew that he could not change the minds of those stubborn clan leaders, so he tried to negotiate with Zheng-Fu again, hoping that there would be another way.

"City Governor, don't try! I have already made up my mind. If you can't accept my conditions, we can't cooperate. However, I won't be so cruel and not help you. I'll join the fight with you, but I cannot guarantee how much I can help!"

Zheng-Fu pretended to be stubborn and did not give up either. Of course, he would not use a large amount of explosive blood powder if he did not get the rewards he wanted. But it did not mean that he would not lend a hand. After all, killing those demon monster beasts was one of his missions.

Ah!

Zi-Dong-Lei's face fell when Zheng-Fu was also not lenient. He wanted to try to negotiate again, but when he saw Zheng-Fu's resolute gaze, he gave up. And he could not help but feel angry and dissatisfied with the clan leaders who objected.

"Since things are like this, then let's just follow our original plan. But this time, each clan will attack separately with its own forces. If I find out that any clan's force dares to escape and retreat, causes trouble for other forces, or causes chaos for other forces, I definitely won't let you go! Zi Clan's force, follow me!"

Whoosh!!!

Zi-Dong-Lei had run out of patience. He did not care what would happen to that city anymore, nor what the other clans thought. He immediately led the Zi Clan force to their battle positions.

Umm!

"Ma Clan's force, listen to me! We'll fight alongside the City Governor's Zi Clan. Everyone, get ready. Don't let Ma Clan lose face!" Ma Clan Leader also felt dissatisfied, so he did not want to fight with those clans and chose to fight alongside Zi Clan.

Shih!!!

'Just wait and see! After this battle, the one who will be the ruler will definitely be my Mou Clan!' Mou Clan Leader said to himself. His face looked very evil at that moment, as if he was planning something. And that plan should be about seizing power from Zi Clan, because from the beginning, he had tried to do everything to obstruct Zi-Dong-Lei's plan all along.

But it was not just Mou Clan Leader who thought that way; Xin Clan Leader, Gong Clan Leader, and Lun Clan Leader also thought the same way, as they were all major powers. Every time the demon monster beast hordes attacked, every clan would suffer losses. And if any major clan could maintain most of its forces, its strength and influence would grow beyond the others as time went on.

However, what all of them did not know was that they were actually under Zheng-Fu's control. Zheng-Fu had already planned this since he started explaining it; otherwise, he would not have set such high conditions. But this plan would not have succeeded if those people were not greedy. Because of their greed, everything went according to Zheng-Fu's plan.

'No one knows that I already scattered the explosive blood powder. But they won't work until I activate the spelled tactical formation I set up. And... I'll definitely not activate this tactical formation until I defeat the four greedy major clans' forces.'

Two shichens passed...

Groooaaan! Groooaaan!

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

Groan!!!

Finally, a large wave of demon monster beast hordes arrived. With more than five million of them, the earth shook violently when they moved together. Even those hundreds of li away could feel the tremors.

At the Zi Clan and Ma Clan's defense position...

"They're coming! Everyone, prepare your crossbows and all your weapons. When they come into the attack range, start attacking immediately. Understand?!" Zi-Dong-Lei shouted as soon as he saw the demon monster beast horde moving toward their defensive positions from a distance.

Yes, sir, City Governor!

The other defense positions were facing similar situations. Although each clan had conflicts and hoped to be the greatest, they could not ignore the clash with the wave of demon monster beast hordes. Because their wealth, power, and glorious history were all at stake behind them. If they let those demon monster beast hordes break through into their land, everything would be destroyed, and they would have nothing left.

"I hope everything goes well!"

"City Governor, don't worry, everything will definitely go well. I feel that way. After this battle is over, not only will our city be peaceful again, but it'll be even more prosperous than before!" Ma Clan Leader really felt that something good was about to happen, but he could not tell what that good thing was.

"I hope it'll be as you said, Ma Clan Leader!"
