Chapter 1427: Harvest! Unimaginably Massive

In his rage, the Blood Child Demon Monarch failed to notice that the expressions on the faces of the usually compliant and deferential Emperor Yuanyou and Emperor Yanqing had unknowingly changed.

“Great Demon Monarch, in this national war, our Great Qin and Great Jin have suffered heavy losses.” Emperor Yuanyou straightened his back slightly, with a heavy expression, “You mentioned before that you would compensate us with treasures from the Blood Venerable’s relic, and we had no objections. But now, since the relic of the Blood Venerable was not secured, how do you plan to compensate us?”

The Blood Child Demon Monarch, in a foul mood, replied impatiently, “Haven’t I already given you some resources?”

“Great Demon Monarch, the losses of our two countries are severe, and the resources you have provided do not even cover a tenth of our consumption.” Emperor Yanqing spoke up as well, his tone noticeably harsher than before, “Such a massive amount of resources, if you do not provide an explanation, Yuanyou and I may have to seek an explanation from the Demon Venerable at the True Demon Hall.”

“You! Are you threatening me?!” The Blood Child Demon Monarch’s eyes gleamed fiercely, almost unable to believe his ears, “How dare you speak to me like this?!”

Emperor Yuanyou slowly stepped back and stood alongside Emperor Yanqing: “Great Demon Monarch, we have no choice in this matter, please understand.”

Though the two had differing personalities, on matters of national interest, they tacitly chose to advance and retreat together.

It’s understandable why they turned against him at this moment; the national war had indeed caused such severe losses that it affected the national power, much of which was caused by the Blood Child Demon Monarch.

If it weren’t for his constant pressure and inducement, even if the war was lost, the losses would be about one-third of what they are now.

If the treasures from the Blood Venerable’s relic were successfully acquired, they could accept such losses with reasonable compensation. But now that the relic has gone to waste, as emperors, they must find a way to recover those losses.

Moreover, with the incident affecting his clone, the Blood Child Demon Monarch was also suffering.

The divine soul being the origin, once damaged, the Blood Child Demon Monarch’s power would be severely weakened, and it would be a long time before he could return to peak state.

Furthermore, with the Yin Snake Demoness already betraying him, the power balance between the Blood Child Demon Monarch and them was no longer as lopsided as before, giving them the confidence to contest.

“Good! You really are something!”

The Blood Child Demon Monarch was already on the verge of exploding with anger, and seeing them like this only fueled his rage to the extreme. However, even he understood that this was not the time to fall out with the two.

He took a deep breath and said coldly, “Don’t worry, since I have promised you, you will not lack benefits. Even without the treasures from the Blood Venerable’s relic, there are still many good things in the treasure vault of the True Demon Hall. Taking out a few of them will be enough to compensate your losses.”

Upon hearing this, both Emperor Yuanyou and Emperor Yanqing visibly relaxed.

They had thought that with the Blood Child Demon Monarch’s irritable and temperamental nature, he might directly lash out, but he unexpectedly restrained himself. Resolving the issue without a fight is naturally best.

However, before they could fully relax, they heard the Blood Child Demon Monarch continue, “But this matter is not over. Although the clone fell into a trap, it is certain that the Blood Venerable’s relic is indeed real, and the ‘Holy Gu Codex’ must still be in the East Qian Kingdom.”

“Since covert means didn’t work, I’ll resort to overt ones.”

“I will send a letter back to the True Demon Hall to gather reinforcements. I will march on the East Qian Kingdom with great might to force Longchang, that old dog, to hand over the ‘Holy Gu Codex’! Since Longchang dared to plot against me, I will make him pay the price!”

Hiss~

Upon hearing these words, both Emperor Yuanyou and Emperor Yanqing drew a sharp breath.

This… this… is setting the stage for all-out war!

…

Meanwhile, as the Blood Child Demon Monarch and others received the news.

Wang Shouzhe and his party arrived at the entrance of the Blood Venerable’s shelter.

After spending decades in the shelter, Chi Mei Demon Envoy finally persuaded her master to open the shelter’s door, and the two of them walked out together.

“Chi Mei pays respects to Patriarch Shouzhe.” As Chi Mei Demon Envoy spoke, she prepared to bow gracefully.

Her gesture was interrupted by Wang Shouzhe, who spoke warmly, “Immortal Jiang, you have done a great deed this time, and I am grateful beyond words. Moreover, in our Daqian, unless it’s for the celebration of an elder in the family or paying respects to ancestors, bowing casually is not common, even ministers do not bow to the majesty.”

Chi Mei Demon Envoy’s eyes lit up, “Patriarch Shouzhe means that from now on, I will be called Jiang Qingxue?”

“Immortal Jiang, do not jest. Aren’t you the Jiang Qingxue, the family tributor we engaged from overseas?” Wang Shouzhe smiled calmly, “Immortal Jiang, your annual stipend and our Wang Family’s mutual responsibilities and obligations are clearly stated in our contract.”

“Yes, yes, I am indeed Jiang Qingxue.” Jiang Qingxue grabbed her master’s wrist, Yin Snake Demoness, and introduced, “Patriarch Shouzhe, this is my master Jii Yue’Er, who has just returned from overseas to join me and also seeks a tributorship in the Wang Family.”

“So it’s Elder Jii.” Wang Shouzhe saluted respectfully, “Our Wang Family is always eager for talent, and since Elder Jii, a Lingxu Realm Cultivator, wishes to become a tributor, all the necessary arrangements will naturally be made.”
