The Demon Race's Tactics
Soon, Su Bai arrived at the Star Luo Pill Pavilion.
Now Vice Pavilion Master, he held a prestigious position and arrived at the Inner Cabinet Conference Hall without any hindrance.
When Director Fang Yuan, who was in charge of managing the spirit medicine warehouse, saw Su Bai, he seemed to see a savior and quickly came to greet him, his face full of bitterness and helplessness.
"Vice Pavilion Master Lu! You've finally emerged from seclusion!"
"Director Fang, what exactly happened?"
Why is the supply of High-grade Spirit Medicine in the city almost completely cut off? Why have I received no news about the materials for the Yingning Pill I ordered?
Su Bai got straight to the point.
Director Fang Yuan sighed deeply, led Su Bai to a huge map of the Demon Star Sea Region, and said with an extremely solemn expression, "Vice Pavilion Master Lu, something terrible has happened."
"The Demon Race... has attacked us."
"Make a move?" Su Bai frowned. "Has another Demon King infiltrated?"
"No."
Fang Yuan shook his head, pointed to the location of Demon Star City on the map, and said in a heavy voice:
"It's more troublesome than the Demon King's assassination attempt. Ever since the Demon King Fu Kong's failed assassination attempt on you, the Demon Race Higher-Ups have been furious, and they seem to have changed their strategy."
"They didn't send Assassin anymore; instead, they launched a fatal attack on the very foundation of our Heavenly Star Alliance's economy!"
"The Demon Race Higher-Ups command has ordered a full-scale crackdown on those 'spiritual Medicine Peddler ' who sell spirit medicine medicines to our Human Race within Demon Star City!"
Su Bai's pupils suddenly contracted!
He instantly understood the ruthlessness of this move.
The source of spirit medicine in Heavenly Star City largely depends on those Demon Race spiritual Medicine Peddler who operate in the gray area.
These traders are mostly from the lower-class groups of the Demon Race, with low social status. They risk their lives to trade with Human Race in order to survive.
Now, the high-ranking members of the Demon Race have personally intervened, using Thunder methods to exterminate them. These lower-level Demon Race are utterly powerless to resist.
It is said that many quack Medicine Peddler have been publicly executed as a warning to others.
"This centuries-old trade route for spirit medicine has been almost completely severed!"
Fang Yuan's voice carried a hint of despair, "Our Star Luo Pill Pavilion's reserves of spirit medicine are being consumed rapidly, and they are now almost gone."
Without external support, the Heavenly Star Alliance simply cannot sustain itself!
He pointed to the ten enormous Spirit Plain surrounding the Demon Star Sea on the map. " Of the Ten Great Spirit Plains of the Demon Star Sea, our Human Race only occupies one of them, the ' Gaosong Spirit Plain '."
The output of this Spirit Plain is already stretched thin to meet the enormous needs of millions of Cultivator in Heavenly Star City; now it's a drop in the ocean!
"Now, not only ordinary Golden Core Cultivator, but even the direct descendants of the major Lineage are facing the predicament of a shortage of Cultivation Spirit Pill."
If this situation continues, let alone development, the overall strength of the Heavenly Star Alliance may even decline!
A silent war has quietly begun.
It was without the clash of swords, yet it was more deadly than any direct confrontation.
The Demon Race is attempting to starve Heavenly Star City to death using this drastic measure!
Su Bai stood before the enormous Sea Chart, speechless for a long time.
He finally understood why the Ancestor Tian Xing had said, "Who will hunt whom is still uncertain," on the return journey.
Perhaps, when the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star intervened, it wasn't just to save him, but also to intimidate the Demon Race and prevent them from acting rashly.
But clearly, the Demon Race chose a more insidious and effective battlefront.
"I see."
After a long silence, Su Bai slowly spoke, a look of unprecedented solemnity and determination flashing in his eyes.
Crisis can also be an opportunity.
This crisis spirit medicine that has swept the entire city may... be the key to breaking the deadlock for him.
