The Chu Prefecture City was on lockdown. People began going door to door to search for the Desolate race’s spy.
A lot of Desolate Mirror Stones were handed out. The Shen Tu family clan and people from the Chu royal residence were also searching. However, not a single Desolate race was found after a few days.
Some people suspected that Shen Tu Nantian was being overly sensitive.
“If I said that they exist, then they exist! My intuition is not wrong. I have previously seen some Desolate race members with very pure blood and I have used the pureblood blood elixirs of the Desolate race, so I have a vague sense of the existence of a Desolate race. Now, I have already sensed them, so there must be a Desolate race lurking here. You must carry on searching!”
Shen Tu Nantian was extremely confident of his judgment. The Desolate Mirror Stone was not omniscient. When a Desolate race member’s strength reached a certain realm, they would be able to hide their signature, as such it would not be surprising that the Desolate Mirror Stone was not able to detect anything.
And the stronger and purer the Desolate race’s blood was, the more valuable it was.
This time, the Shen Tu family clan had sent several top experts. They were not afraid of the Desolate race’s strength, they were only afraid that the Desolate race blood would be impure.
“Let me… extract a high-ranking Desolate race’s life-giving blood to refine into elixirs. I will use their corpses as a sacrifice to my clansmen who died that year.”
Shen Tu Nantian rubbed his interspatial ring as a cold beam flashed in his eyes. He had made it his life’s goal to slaughter the whole Desolate race. As long as he killed the whole Desolate race, then the desolate beasts would not be able to form into a super beast horde, so it was insufficient to cause fear.
…
“Using the blood of a Desolate race member to refine into elixirs…” In a small courtyard in the Chu royal residence, Yi Yun was sitting on a long bench as he watched the leaves fall from a hundred-year-old tree.
This looked like one of the courtyards that one of the Chu royal residence’s palace girls lived in. There was even a swing in the courtyard. However, no one knew where the girl had gone, so Yi Yun and Jiang Xiaorou were assigned to live in it.
There were too many people that had entered the Chu Prefecture City. Although the Chu royal residence was large, it was quickly filled up. It was extremely difficult to be assigned a residence with a courtyard for a single person like Yi Yun.
“Are you biased against using Desolate blood to refine into elixirs?” Chu Xiaoran was sitting opposite Yi Yun. These days against the beast horde, Chu Xiaoran would occasionally look for Yi Yun to chat with so as to relieve her stress.
She did not have many friends in the Tai Ah Divine City. Qiuniu was one, while Yi Yun was the second.
“There will be at least some. The Desolate race look no different to Humans, so to use the Desolate race’s blood to refine into elixirs makes me somewhat uncomfortable with the thought…”
Yi Yun spoke with some deliberation, despite Shen Tu Nantian having previously said that members of the Desolate race should not be treated as humans, and instead, they should be treated like a type of desolate beast.
Chu Xiaoran said, “The Desolate race is cruel and they have killed countless numbers of people. The Shepherd Boy looks like a neighborly youth, but underneath his skin, he is extremely cruel. The ancients describe death feuds as ‘wishing only to eat one’s flesh and drink one’s blood’, so I don’t think it’s too much.”
What Chu Xiaoran said was not unreasonable, but Yi Yun recalled a phrase from his previous life, “there, we shall feast on barbarian flesh and drink the blood of the Xiongnu”. Now, Shen Tu Nantian’s feud with the Desolate race was probably similar to the famous general Yue Fei…
“Right, you must be careful of Yang Yuefeng and Yang Dingkun. They have returned to the Chu royal residence and the Chu royal residence is their turf.” Chu Xiaoran suddenly remembered Yi Yun’s feud with the Chu royal residence’s children.
“Yes…I know. I will be careful.”
In the Tai Ah Divine City, Yi Yun could not do anything to Yang Yuefeng and company and vice-versa due to the Divine City’s rules.
However, now in the Chu royal residence, Yi Yun had to be on the watch.
Thankfully, be it Yang Dingkun or Yang Yuefeng, they were just juniors in the Chu royal residence. They could not affect those who held power in the Chu royal residence with their own intentions.
As Yi Yun was thinking, he suddenly heard a commotion outside.
Oh? What happened?
Yi Yun focused and listened. He heard people shouting like they had caught a Desolate race spy and were prepared to submit it to Shen Tu Nantian to gain credit.
“They have caught a Desolate race spy?” Chu Xiaoran also heard the commotion. She was pleasantly surprised as she stood up.
However, beside Chu Xiaoran, Yi Yun’s expression seemed to change. Why…
