Chapter 456: Chapter 404: The Demon Race’s Scheme, Spiritual Vein

Translator: 549690339

The Demon Race and the human race had been calm for over half a year without any major wars, both sides temporarily waiting for the right opportunity. It was because of this that His Highness Wolf King began his seclusion.

For the humans to suddenly send troops this time, something must have happened.

Could it be that another powerful human descended from the Sky Wasteland?

So many years have passed, and it would make sense if another strong human showed up.

“We have received no such news.” Eagle Seventeen shook his head and said, “According to the information sent back by people under my command, it seems that the human named Pei Xuanjing, who is claimed to be the most powerful in the world, has re-emerged!”

“Hmm!” General Bei’s eyes slightly chilled, his heart sinking.

Although they had never seen Pei Xuanjing, they had heard of his name from the tribespeople. The name of this man, considered as the number one in the human ancestral land, was far from unfamiliar.

Leaving everything else aside, just thinking about four or five years ago, at the Shenxiao Mountain, Pei Xuanjing had subdued two powerful beings from the Xue ancient country, demonstrating a strength like that of the Fifth Order. It was impossible not to regard him with caution.

A rank of the Fifth Order equates to a cultivator who had at least reached the Fourth Level of the Spiritual Realm. Such a powerful being would rule unchallenged even in the Sky Wasteland, even more so in this newly restored ancestral land.

“This could get tricky,” muttered General Bei to himself.

The peace enjoyed by the human race recently was due to their inferiority to the Demon Race in terms of top combat strength. Now that Pei Xuanjing has re-emerged, even if his strength has not improved by a single bit, it would prove enough to make up for that drawback. In that case, their sudden attack is not surprising.

However, for the Demon Race, this is not good news because the current balance of power has been broken.

“We should invite His Highness Wolf King to come out of seclusion,” one of the Great Demons suggested.

Information from Wang Bo’an and his people was a bit lacking. They only understood the strength of the demon troops in action, but they didn’t know that the real leader Wolf King didn’t participate in the fight this time.

His Highness Wolf King, within the Demon Race, anyone referred to as “Your Highness” belongs to one of the Demon Kings, who are at least of the Fifth Order or a powerful entity at the Fourth Level of the Spiritual Realm.

From the perspective of the Great Demons, only if the Wolf King comes out of seclusion could they stand against Pei Xuanjing, who is possibly a Fifth Order entity. Otherwise, their situation would become very desperate.

“His Highness Wolf King’s seclusion concerns significant matters and must not be disturbed.” General Bei shook his head in refusal.

It must be said that, whether it is thanks to Wang Bo’an’s clever planning or just luck, the timing of his attack is very awkward for many of the Demon Race’s powerful beings.

However, General Bei is clear that disrupting the Wolf King’s seclusion, which is paramount now, would not be allowed under any circumstances. Thus, he made up his mind to reject the idea.

“But if that’s the case, we might not be able to hold on for long,” Eagle Seventeen frowned.

Their most powerful beings were only at the Spirit Realm Third Level, equivalent to the Fourth Order Peak. It won’t be easy to resist Pei Xuanjing, who is likely of the Fifth Order. It’s even possible that they could lose their lives.

The other Great Demons also nodded. The matter of the Demon King was important, but they couldn’t risk their lives for it.

None of the other Great Demons agreed with the idea. Although they are all currently following the orders of the Wolf King, they wouldn’t risk their lives for him.

“No matter what, His Highness Wolf King must not be disturbed during his seclusion!” General Bei’s expression remained cold, reaffirming his point.

This is the difference between the human race and the Demon Race. Although the members of the Demon Race are from the same group, in name only, they truly only trust members of their own kind. Ultimately, it’s a matter of survival of the fittest.

Despite respecting the Wolf King, the only reason they do so is because of orders from the higher-ups of the Demon Race. Even if these Great Demons truly made a mistake, their own kind would need to punish them, not the Wolf King.

General Bei felt powerless about this.

Seeing General Bei’s firm refusal, the other Great Demons silently turned their gazes elsewhere, each lost in their own thoughts.

Seeing this, General Bei felt compelled to say, “Gentlemen, the owner of the prairie we currently occupy is the descendant of the previous dynasty of the Divine Continent human race. Although the previous empire has crumbled, this descendant still retains a lot of the human race’s Qi Luck.”

“Interestingly, the previous human empire even worshipped the Wolf Clan as a totem, which is extremely fortunate. If His Highness Wolf King could refine this Qi Luck into his own, his strength would surely escalate to a higher level, which would be of great benefit to our next plans.”

It’s quite a coincidence, Former Yuan originated from the prairie, where they had always revered the wolf as a totem. Even after ruling the Central Plains and establishing a dynasty, their faith in the Wolf Clan never wavered.

Therefore, after the remnants of Former Yuan fled to the prairie, the Qi Luck they left behind took on the form of a wolf totem, which was undoubtedly very much in line with the Wolf King.

If the Wolf King could refine this human Qi Luck into his own, his power would surely increase a great deal. It would be a great benefit to the Demon Race and perhaps even help him become the most powerful Demon King in the world.

The rest of the Great Demons remained silent, but it was clear from their eyes that they agreed with General Bei’s point.

However, even if this plan works out, the greatest beneficiary would be the Wolf King. They would hardly gain anything. Even when the powerful beings of the Demon Race return, most of the credit will go to the Wolf King with little left for them.

Seeing this, General Bei realized that unless he came up with something valuable to offer, these demons would never fully support the Wolf King. He gritted his teeth and revealed a big secret.

“While exterminating the descendants of the empire, His Highness Wolf King and I discovered a big secret.”

On hearing this, all the Great Demons turned their attention to General Bei. They were drawn in by his statement.

General Bei took a deep breath, looked around, and spoke solemnly, “Near this prairie that we occupy, there is a spiritual vein!”

A spiritual vein!

There was indeed a spiritual vein. The remaining Great Demons immediately brightened up, their eyes bursting with eager light, and some even stood up!

“Are you telling the truth?”

“What grade of spiritual vein is it?”

“Even the lowest-level spiritual vein is a good thing for us. If we could occupy it, we would very likely be able to change our destinies.”

General Bei raised his hand to stop the discussion among the demons, and directly gave the answer: “According to His Highness Wolf King, it’s a top-level spiritual vein. And what’s more, it might even be a dragon vein, enriched with Qi Luck.”

The spiritual vein is a mineral vein formed from the crystallization of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. This type of mineral vein can draw together the essence Qi of heaven and earth, forming an excellent cultivation treasure.

The dragon vein, on the other hand, is even more precious than the spiritual vein.

A dragon vein is more desirable than a spiritual vein because it contains Qi Luck. This vein is one of the scarce ways to store Qi Luck

Founding a school or a sect isn’t something pulled out of thin air, there have to be specific conditions to be met.
