Chapter 416 Overt Strategies to Defend Against the Enemy
Dongya Changlie had a vague feeling that something was wrong. This matter was beyond his expectations, and there was probably a trap involved. However, now that the Ancestral Demon of the Sky had spoken, he could only nod and wave his hand.
"The Xuanhua Heavenly Clan, offer blood sacrifice!"
A voice rang out, and then the Hua Tian clan members entered the banquet hall. Each of them carried a huge cooking cauldron and lined up in front of Dong Ya Chang Lie, Dang Tian Zu Mo, and the others.
Li Lan smiled slightly and clapped his hands. Immediately, everyone opened the cauldrons. Inside the cauldrons were various dishes. There was boiling soup with a fragrant aroma of cooked meat wafting from afar, and warm blood wine with a strong blood essence aura filling the room!
"Such powerful blood essence energy..."
"How could it possess such a rich aura of blood essence? How did the Hua Tian clan manage to do that?"
"To refine this kind of blood food, a massive number of heads would be absolutely needed, but there's no news of the Hua Tian clan massacring the city..."
For a moment, everyone was stunned!
The leaders of the royal families of Xishan and Nanji couldn't help but look at Dongya Changlie at this moment. Did Dongya Changlie know about this matter?
But at this moment, Dongya Changlie also frowned, his eyes filled with confusion...
This shouldn't be!
"Hehe, very good, very good, as expected of a top-grade blood delicacy, the aroma is enough to make one's mouth water!"
The Heavenly Demon's eyes lit up, and he took a deep sniff, a look of enjoyment on his old face. The Sun-Splitting Demon, the Heaven-Stepping Demon, and others beside him nodded in agreement.
Everyone present could see that the blood offerings presented by the Huatian clan were indeed better than those of the other eight royal clans.
"The Hua Tian clan has truly made a name for itself..."
The patriarch of the Xishan clan spoke in a cold voice.
"Hehe, quite impressive!"
"I thought they were high and mighty, but in the end, they were just so obsequious..."
"What is Hua Tianqiu pretending for?!"
People from many other ethnic groups couldn't help but speak up, their words filled with both mockery and envy.
After all, such a performance would naturally win the favor of all the primordial races.
"I'm curious, how does the Huatian clan refine these blood delicacies?"
At this moment, Dongya Changlie spoke up, saying, "As far as I know, the Huatian clan has not carried out any massacres or annihilations of cities or states. These blood offerings are probably of questionable origin..."
His words were somewhat somber and cold.
But the Ancestral Demon of the Sky smiled and said leisurely, "Wu Heng, is it? You tell them how these blood offerings are refined?"
Li Lan stepped forward calmly, his expression composed and serene. He casually pointed to a cooking stove and said, "What is being cooked here is the Flying Feather King of the Hua Tian Clan, Hua Tianmingshan!"
"The blood wine in this cauldron was refined from the blood essence of thirteen direct descendants of the Hua Tian clan..."
"This pot of minced meat was made using the combined efforts of thirty-two legitimate daughters of the Hua Tian clan!"
……
Li Lan introduced the details as if they were his own, but everyone in the room had a drastic change in expression.
"What?! The Hua Tian clan uses their own people to cook blood food?!"
"Damn it... was it really necessary to be so ruthless? They even killed princes and their direct descendants, it's terrifying!"
"No wonder, no wonder the Hua Tian clan didn't massacre their own people. So they were slaughtering their own people to refine blood food?"
Everyone was utterly shocked.
The various royal families and aristocratic clans regard all living beings as worthless. As long as they can be on good terms with the original races, it is worth it to kill many of the lower classes and slaughter many immortal cities.
However, that's for the sake of all living beings, but for the Hua Tian clan, it's only for their own people.
Which race could be so ruthless and merciless?!
"Seriously? Are they out of their minds? Is it really necessary to be so ruthless? They have an inexhaustible supply of people from the lower classes to exploit, yet they insist on targeting their own people!"
"Damn, this is driving all the royal families and noble clans to their doom! If they fawn over them like this and the other royal families and noble clans don't follow suit, won't they fall behind? But if they all end up like them, how many members of the royal families and noble clans across the land will be killed..."
"Breaking the rules, having no bottom line, and being utterly inhuman, the Hua Tian clan, you are simply vicious!"
At the same time, upon realizing this, many members of the powerful clans felt a chill run down their spines.
This is completely vicious competition from the Huatian Clan!
It will drag everyone down with it.
"That's enough!"
The patriarch of the Xishan clan, Xishan Yongqing, was so angry that his face turned ashen!
"This is pushing us into a fire pit..."
An elder of the Beiming clan was furious.
"We can't let the Hua Tian clan monopolize the top spot..."
Meanwhile, an old man from the Antarctic tribe, holding a wooden staff, whispered something. In an instant, all the Antarctic tribe members behind him changed color and panicked!
Even Dongya Changlie was gritting his teeth at this moment, his eyes reflecting a hint of hatred and anger.
“These people are all Hua Tianchi Yue’s direct subordinates…”
His face looked grim.
Besides giving Wu Heng the problematic primordial substance, the task he gave Hua Tianqingxue was also to secretly contact other members of the Hua Tian clan and form an inside network.
After all, Hua Tianchi Yue, as the clan leader, had managed the Hua Tian clan for many years and had many followers within the clan. There were always some who were unwilling and resentful, and they could be used by the Dongya royal family.
Hua Tianqingxue did indeed achieve this. Feiyu Wang Hua Tianmingshan and others had all reached cooperation agreements with their Dongya royal family. They were just waiting for their orders to switch sides at any time and help them deal with Hua Tianqiudao and others.
but now……
The Hua Tian clan had somehow managed to eliminate all of these people without anyone noticing, and even turned them into blood food and sent it to him.
This is a complete slap in the face to him!
How could Dongya Changlie not hate him!?
This is an insult.
Moreover, based on his understanding of Hua Tianqiudao, Hua Tianqiudao was ultimately a kind and benevolent person. Even towards Hua Tianchiyue, he did not lay a hand on him, allowing the other party to retain the nominal title and dignity of the Supreme Protector. How could he possibly be so ruthless towards Hua Tianchiyue's confidants?
It is likely that the one who truly devised such a vicious scheme was... Wu Heng!
This boy has a vicious heart and vicious methods.
In this way, not only were all the spies he had left in the Huatian clan removed, but he also stole the show at the banquet and turned the tables on him.
Moreover, from now on, if the major royal families and clans want to win over the original races through blood offerings, ordinary blood offerings will not be enough...
They'd probably only be happy if it were blood food refined by a direct descendant of royalty, because that bastard Wu Heng has already raised the bar...
He felt inexplicably depressed. The Dongya royal family had lost many of its elite members to the Eternal King Dongya back then, which is why they had to seek out the Demon Summoning Technique of the Third Clan to maintain and strengthen the Dongya clan's power.
Now, they're going to target their own people again?
If things continue like this, the clans may become enraged and resentful, leading to their disintegration and infighting. As a result, the various royal families will gradually weaken...
Wu Heng's plan was truly vicious and ruthless.
Suddenly, his gaze toward Wu Heng took on a serious and earnest quality!
Before this, although Li Lan also had talent, he hadn't paid much attention to it.
After all, as the patriarch of the Dongya royal family and the overlord of the Eternal Royal Court, he had seen countless geniuses, but how many of them actually grew up? Even if they did, in front of the royal family, they were still nothing more than slightly larger ants...
But at this moment, he suddenly realized that Wu Heng was no ordinary genius. He not only possessed unparalleled talent and extraordinary good fortune, but more importantly, his temperament and shrewdness were so impressive that even this seasoned veteran of the royal court, skilled in power struggles and cunning schemes, felt slightly alarmed.
This should not be underestimated!
At least in terms of wisdom, we need to be treated equally.
Upon realizing this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Originally, we thought that the First God was the best choice, but what happened? Not only was his strength crushed by the Third Race's Holy Son, Xing Luoyuan, but his mentality was also terrible, and he had to be coaxed!
If Wu Heng and Xing Luoyuan had been spared and cooperation with the Third Clan had been arranged instead, how could such a formidable enemy have suddenly appeared out of nowhere?
With Wu Heng's arrival, the Hua Tian clan is truly like a tiger with wings; they'll likely be much harder to deal with in the future...
At this moment, Li Lan finally finished explaining the source of the blood food in the cooking pot!
The room fell silent, and everyone looked at him with complicated expressions.
Even Hua Tianqiu was somewhat taken aback at this moment...
Even he was unaware!
Just as Dongya Changlie had predicted, although he was disappointed in Hua Tianchiyue, he would not do such a ruthless thing as exterminating them. Besides, even if he did kill them, he would not cook them into blood food to feed the primordial demons...
He couldn't help but glance at Li Lan, his old eyes filled with complex emotions.
There was no blame intended; on the contrary, there was admiration and agreement.
Whether it's the Dongya royal family or any other major royal family, when it comes to the struggle for interests, they are all ruthless and willing to do anything to put the Huatian family to death.
Without Li Lan, the Hua Tian clan might be in real danger today.
However, Li Lan was so astute and had made preparations in advance. Instead of silencing the various royal families, he also dug a bright pit of fire for them all...
This is a calculated strategy!
After Li Lan finished speaking, he smiled slightly and said, "Our clan believes that the various clans in the primordial era are extremely noble, and the great ancestral demons, holy sons and holy daughters are the rulers of this world. They should enjoy the best blood food in this world, and the best source of blood food is undoubtedly the direct descendants of the great royal families and aristocratic families!"
"After all, the Eternal Royal Family enjoys endless faith, and all races under heaven share countless offerings. Over the ages, the bloodlines of the descendants of each race contain the divine power of faith. Only blood food refined in this way can be considered first-class!"
"All the living beings in the world are poor and dying, their blood is sour and their flesh is rotten. What they refine into food is not worthy of being called blood food? Is it worthy of being on the table of the great primordial predecessors? Even a dog wouldn't eat it!"
"Only those crafted with royal blood and immortal bloodlines can be considered a token of our devotion to the primordial world!"
Li Lan spoke eloquently and arrogantly, but all the noble families in the room had complicated expressions. Many of them wished they could jump out immediately and shut Li Lan up.
It's absolutely disgusting, like a door opened for another disgusting thing. It's disgusting to the extreme.
This is getting more and more outrageous. How will the major royal families and clans ever have the nerve to use ordinary people to refine blood offerings in the future? They'd be too embarrassed to even present them to the emperor!
Is killing our own people the only option left?
That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous...
"The King of Scrolls truly deserves to die."
"Yeah, everyone could have just used regular blood food, but he insisted on using royal blood food... damn it!"
"That's shameless..."
All the royal families and powerful clans couldn't help but curse inwardly.
At one of the tables, Hua Tianqingyi couldn't help but chuckle and said:
"Brother Wu Heng is so clever! If you want to teach shameless people a lesson, you have to be even more shameless and have no bottom line than them... That way, these shameless people actually think Brother Wu Heng is shameless, hahaha..."
