Chapter 183 – Cruelness (2/2)
The Xue Family intended to exhaust all their resources to get rid of the penalty. They even brought out the Mars Prefecture Blood Token, to help them exempt of their alleged crime. There were only three such tokens in total, now two of them were used within a single day.
Long Pifu took the token and scrutinized it carefully. After some seconds, he had a private discussion with the other family leaders through conveyed voices.
“We have negotiated with the family leaders, and concluded to call an end to today’s judgement. They made their due sacrifice, and besides, the Mars Prefecture Blood Token should be respected as well. I hope, that all of you, will learn from this event. I don’t want to see any such nasty things happen again!” Long Pifu declared the final statement.
Hardly had Long Pifu’s cold voice died away, or Xue Ying laughed out bitterly, and flew to the corpses of Xue Fei and Xue Piaorou. He grabbed the two bodies, as he headed towards the north, and disappeared into the distance…
……
Following the end of the Xue Family judgment, Long Pifu immediately took out Ye Tianlong’s Mars Prefecture Blood Token, as he summoned all the advanced cultivators present to take part in tomorrow’s aggression towards the Demonic Prefecture. Of course, this wasn’t compulsory at all. But the cultivators were willing to help them out, partly because of the token, which represented the past contribution the holder had done for the prefecture, and partly because they believed in the rule of mutual-beneficiary, that was, if they themselves were caught in dire situations in the future, others might help as well. Thus, numerous advanced cultivators, including those that had been reclusive for years, or those street cultivators, all yelled a positive response.
The next day, under the command of Ye Tianlong, hundreds of Emperor-Realm cultivators, and scores of Saint-Realm cultivators, left Dragon City, heading directly towards the Demonic Prefecture.
This time, it was Yao Xie who had first breached the Alliance Treaty signed by the three prefectures. He had shamelessly ambushed the most popular young lord in the Mars Prefecture, and had forced him into the Luo Shen Mountain. Apart from that, several Emperor-Realm elders, such as Ye Qingniu, had been injured in the counterattack. Therefore, Ye Tianlong had named this battle the Retaliation Against the Lion Race Demons. It was rather resourceful, indeed. On the one hand, the other sub-races of the demons wouldn’t be panicked by their arrival, and thus wouldn’t engage themselves in the chaos or help Yao Xie defend against the enemies; on the other hand, the old demons on the Demonic Hill wouldn’t be disturbed. Adding to that, the reputation of the Mars Prefecture would be further polished.
Hundreds of cultivators flew in the sky in unison, and within several days, they had arrived at the border of the Mars Prefecture and the Demonic Prefecture. Ye Tianlong asked them to rest here for three days. After that, he flew to the nearest city of the Demonic Prefecture, and submitted the Declaration of War, in which he detailed that the Mars Prefecture troops would invade the lion race demons in three days, but if other demonic races tried to interrupt, it would be taken as a declaration of war against the Mars Prefecture.
As soon as this declaration was posted, the twelve demonic leaders gathered together in Heaven Demon City to negotiate possible countermeasures against this imminent crisis. However, neither of the Demonic Evil appeared, one was in reclusive cultivation, and the other, Yao Xie, didn’t show up. In the end, the demonic leaders decided to adopt a wait-and-see policy. They reckoned it was not their responsibility to shield away the enemies for Yao Xie. Plus, the target was the lion race, not them. Most importantly, many of them were tired of Yao Xie’s cruel dictatorship, so they chose to be bystanders.
Three days later, the Mars Prefecture troop initiated their retaliation plan, and killed only the lion race. As for the other demonic races, as long as they didn’t involve themselves in the battle, they were absolutely safe. Among the wretched lion race demons, the vulnerable elders, kids, and disabled were also excluded from the killing list.
The demonic leaders from the other sub-races watched all of this happen, and spread the words about the power of the Mars Prefecture’s troops. They even warned the others to not bother the Mars Prefecture, if they cared about their life. If anyone dared to do so despite their warning, they would be on their own account when the Mars Prefecture came to crush them.
The momentum of the Mars Prefecture’s troops was irresistibly overwhelming. With the concerted efforts of hundreds of Emperor-Realm cultivators and scores of Saint-Realm cultivators, they showcased the most powerful side of their own prefecture. The lion race demons, therefore, all ran like crazy. All of a sudden, the Demonic Prefecture was filled with flames and smoke, as well as screaming…
