"This matter should be handled more slowly."
"The Demon Race only just signed a ceasefire agreement with our righteous path. Acting during such a sensitive time would indeed be inappropriate."
"Besides, we still have the important matter of relocating the mortals ahead of us."
"This must be done quickly, preferably within a year. It is tied to another major matter I intend to undertake."
"However, expanding our territory is inevitable."
"If I remember correctly, the next Demon Beast Uprising will be ten years from now."
"At that time, it will also be the tacit period of war between us and the Demon Race. Whatever we do then, the Demon Race will have no handle to use against us."
"Therefore, all of you must prepare yourselves. Do not let the chain drop ten years from now."
"And at that time, I will lead you to seize half of the Crimson Gold Bear Territory and establish a kingdom belonging to our Ling Clan."
Upon hearing this, the Ling Clan Golden Core cultivators present were immediately fired up with passion.
The Crimson Gold Bear Race was a Nascent Soul great demon race, and the territory it occupied spanned at least tens of millions of li.
Half of it would cover at least a thousand li.
If the Ling Clan could truly acquire it, the clan would strike it rich.
Most crucially, the Ling Clan already possessed Ice Snow Valley, a fourth-rank spirit valley. If those thousand li of territory were added, the foundation of this newly ascended Nascent Soul Ling Clan would become incomparably solid.
By then, the Ling Clan would possess the opportunity to produce Nascent Soul cultivators.
And the Ling Clan members here were all Golden Core cultivators. They were the closest in the clan to reaching the Nascent Soul realm.
