I Want Them Dead!

"Yang Shan, this is a truly ruthless move! Not only Demon Flame Valley, but you've even schemed against the Ghoul Wolf Clan!"

Zi Yan's gaze towards Yang Shan changed! It wasn't out of fear of Yang Shan's insidious methods.

Instead, it's excitement!

Zi Yan has a childlike nature. When she was withdrawn, she would often resort to her fists to solve problems.

Therefore, Zi Yan is certainly not a kind person.

Yang Shan's elaborate scheme to shift the blame eastward was something Zi Yan had never experienced before.

You can enjoy fighting, obtain a lot of spiritual items, and outmaneuver the three major forces.

This was indeed something that Zi Yan found very novel.

Zi Yan asked curiously, "When are you going to take me to see the Dark Moon Dog and Snow Moon Cat races? Maybe I'm related to them!"

Yang Shan smiled and said:

"If you usually bark or meow, then you might be a dog or a cat."

Yang Shan had explained the change of kingship at Black Moon Ridge to Zi Yan.

Therefore, Zi Yan also knows the general situation of Black Moon Ridge.

The two royal families are already half-crippled, hiding in the shadows waiting for their chance.

Yang Shan and Su Yitang chose to help the two royal families regain control of Black Moon Ridge.

The Ghost Tiger and Ghoul Wolf Clan, who had previously launched a rebellion and successfully occupied Black Moon Ridge, were nominally allies, but secretly they were also scheming against each other and disliked each other.

Demon Flame Valley once tried to swallow Black Moon Ridge, and the two sides fought fiercely. In the end, Demon Flame Valley was defeated, and the Earth Demon Old Ghost bowed and scraped, giving up dozens of miles of territory before things calmed down.

So, compared to the Ghost Tiger Clan, the Ghoul Wolf Clan, which has always been slightly weaker, joined forces with the Demon Flame Valley in an attempt to devour the Ghost Tiger Clan.

This line of thinking makes sense! Yang Shan's second plan, "shifting the blame eastward," mainly involves pitting Demon Flame Valley against the Ghost Tiger Clan.

Plan Three, "Driving the Tiger to Devour the Wolf," aims to pit the Ghost Tiger and the Ghoul Wolf Clan against each other.

However, after Yang Shan discovered the Golden Striped Tigress, the plan took a new turn.

That means merging Plan Two and Plan Three! Taking the inheritance of Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord has become "incidentally".

Yang Shan intended to use this as a prelude to plunge the three major forces into internal strife!

The more the power of the Baleful Wolf and Ghost Tiger Clan is weakened, the sooner Yang Shan can allow the two royal families Dark Moon Dog and Snow Moon Cat, to regain control of Black Moon Ridge.

The plan is progressing smoothly.

Yang Shan and Zi Yan are currently hiding around the Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's Inheritance Land, watching helplessly as the heavily injured Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger flees in panic towards the Ghost Tiger Clan's valley.

This Snow Moon Valley was originally the ancestral home of the Snow Moon Cat Clan. Over thousands of years, the Snow Moon Cat Clan transplanted many spiritual plants here.

Now, however, they have all become resources for the Ghost Tiger Clan.

At this moment, the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King, whose fur was as black as ink but whose head and limbs had strange flame patterns, was raising its paw to pluck a fruit from a spirit tree and put it in its mouth.

This spiritual fruit has the effect of nourishing the internal organs, especially nourishing kidney qi, with remarkable results.

The Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King's eyelids drooped, making him look listless.

Recently, the Queen Consort of the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King, "Hundred Flame Ghost Tiger," has been relentlessly inviting the Ghost Tiger King to "team up" for duo queue games, citing the need to procreate for the bloodline.

The Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King was also tough, remaining silent and fighting intensely for a whole month!

But there are plenty of oxen that die from plowing in this world, but I've never heard of a field being ruined by plowing!

Even the Seventh Order Peak Thousand Beast King couldn't turn the tide and lost to a Peak Sixth Tier Thousand Beast King! As the queen, the Hundred Flame Ghost Tiger ultimately made the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King stay obediently in Snow Moon Valley.

That Golden Striped Tigress, Jinlan, still wants the position of the empress?

If the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King can squeeze out even a single drop, then it's a testament to its great ability!

He ate three spiritual fruits in a row.

The once sweet and delicious spiritual fruit now tastes bland and tasteless.

The Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King prepared to take a nap and get a good night's sleep, which would also make it easier to absorb the medicinal power.

It was really exhausted this past month and didn't get much sleep.

The bloodline inheritance of the Ghost Tiger Clan is a long and arduous task! But just as the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King lay down and closed his eyes, the Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger was already shouting from afar:

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!"

The Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King opened his eyes impatiently. "Yan Shijiu? How did you get injured like this? Where's Jin Hua?"

Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger lay on the ground, tears streaming down his face like a fountain. "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is gone!"

The Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King immediately stood up and pressed his claws down on the Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger's head. "What's gone? Explain yourself to me!"

Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been killed! Your body has been burned to ashes!"

"What!"

Flames erupted from the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King's body, and even his voice was filled with fire. "Explain yourself to me! What exactly happened?"

The flames sprayed directly onto the Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger's face, burning off its whiskers.

But Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger dared not dodge, and could only explain, "Your Majesty, this is really not my fault. It was the Ghoul Wolf Clan and Demon Flame Valley who made the move!"

Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King: "What a joke! How dare the Demon Flame Valley cause trouble for Jin Hua?"

Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger: "Your Majesty, come with me. Once you're here, everything will be clear!"

Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King released Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger: "Lead the way! Hurry up!"

The Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King had no guards with him.

It was one of the top experts in Black Moon Ridge, and even the entire Black-Corner Region.

To put it bluntly, there isn't a single human cultivator in the Black-Corner Region who can rival it! Even when surrounded, it can retreat with ease.

Yang Shan and Zi Yan watched as the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King followed the Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger out of the valley.

Yang Shan didn't even dare to use the detection function.

They were afraid of being discovered by the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King.

After the two beasts had gone some distance, Zi Yan asked:

"Why haven't you gone to retrieve the inheritance yet?"

Yang Shan: "No rush. The fluctuations during the process of obtaining the inheritance might be quite large. There are still many powerful Ghost Tiger Clan in the valley. It's best to play it safe."

Zi Yan: "Are you really sure that the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King will leave with his army?"

Yang Shan: "I'm not sure."

Zi Yan: "Then we waited for nothing?"

Yang Shan: "Opportunities are reserved for those who wait and are patient. What we need to do now is wait. If the plan fails, we can just keep stirring things up. I have the Sea Heart Flame, so I'm not afraid they won't take the bait!"

The "Mirage" characteristic of the Sea Heart Flame conflicts with most illusion Dou Technique.

To put it bluntly, "Mirage" has too high a priority, and most illusion Dou Technique are simply not qualified to use Sea Heart Flame as an "energy source".

In other words, Yang Shan's illusion technique, activated by the Sea Heart Flame, the origin of the Dou Emperor Dou Emperor level, is basically the ceiling for this stage.

To reach the Dou Emperor level and unleash an illusion technique on par with "Mirage," there are essentially only two paths.

One is another Heaven and Earth Oddities that also possesses illusionary properties.

The other is magical beasts that are born with extremely strong illusionary abilities, such as Fox Tribe and butterflies.

However, for this type of magical beast, the bloodline must be at least at the level of the King of Beasts, or even higher.

To see through an illusion, the requirements are even higher.

As long as Yang Shan pays attention to other aspects of concealment and doesn't give away any clues, such as his smell, voice, or aura fluctuations that are seriously inconsistent with the target of the illusion, he can succeed.

At this stage, even Dou Zong expert would find it difficult to see through Sea Heart Flame's illusion.

It just so happens that the Ghost Tiger Clan is of the Fire Attribute, Ghoul Wolf Clan is of the lightning attribute.

It would be too easy for Yang Shan to simulate the two races taking action! Therefore, Yang Shan has an innate advantage in stirring up trouble between the two races.

Blood Fiend Ghost Tiger led Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King all the way to the "scene of the incident" on the outskirts of Black Moon Ridge.

As far as the eye can see, it's either gray or black.

The trees burned to charcoal, and the grass burned to ashes.

Even after so much time has passed, the residual heat of the flames still lingers.

The Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King slowly paced around.

It was feeling the lingering power of the flames.

As Fire Attribute magical beast, it can use this to judge the intensity of the flame.

Yang Shan deliberately used the Sea Heart Flame to burn down the entire area within a mile, just to show the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King.

The "Might of Heaven and Earth" contained in the Sea Heart Flame dissipated long before the Sea Heart Flame was extinguished.

Therefore, the only thing that Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King could detect was the burning ability of the Sea Heart Flame.

Actually, to be honest, the temperature of the Sea Heart Flame is not as high as that of the Transformation Flame, after all, it is Heavenly Flames born from the seabed.

But when it comes to incineration capacity, there is absolutely no doubt about it.

The Transformation Flame generated by the "Flame Manipulation Art" may have the potential to surpass some Heavenly Flames in terms of temperature, but in terms of combustion, they cannot compare to any other Heavenly Flames.

Even the most pathetic Mystic Yellow Flame is not something that Transformation Flame can easily fool.

Unless there is some truly extraordinary being who can integrate the Might of Heaven and Earth into the Transformation Flame!

Therefore, no matter how the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King sensed it, there was only one conclusion: the flames that burned this area to ashes were even stronger than its Beast Flame!

"Demon Flame Valley!"

The Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King had fought against the Demon Flame Valley. Although the Three Great Elders of the Demon Flame Valley, when they joined forces, only possessed the combat power of the early stage of the Dou Zong, the Transformation Flame they activated was able to overpower its Beast Flame.

Therefore, the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King left a deep impression on him.

"Yan Shijiu, is it really true that Demon Flame Valley and the Ghoul Wolf Clan have joined forces?"

Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger: "Your Majesty, I was attacked by Fang Yan, a Nine Star Dou Huang from Demon Flame Valley, and a Thunder Ghoul Wolf, which is why I was severely injured!"

Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King stared intently at Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger: "Jin Hua is dead, why aren't you dead?"

Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger: "Before I lost consciousness, I sensed that Your Majesty had arrived with the warriors of my tribe. When I awoke, all I saw were gray-brown flames everywhere, and corpses."

Yang Shan is the kind of guy who strives to get the most out of things.

So they deliberately left part of the corpse, and then used the Sea Heart Flame to change its color and burn it.

Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger was seriously injured at the time; if he hadn't run slower, he would have been burned by the Sea Heart Flame.

How could it possibly have the mind to slowly investigate the situation of the Sea Heart Flame? Even if it did investigate, if it had never been exposed to the Heaven and Earth Oddities, it would be very difficult to determine the existence of the Might of Heaven and Earth from the Sea Heart Flame.

Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger suddenly remembered something and exclaimed excitedly:

"Your Majesty! I didn't find the Empress's body at the time, so she might still be alive!"

The Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King did not answer. It continued forward and came to a pile of ash.

It moved closer, lowered its head, and sniffed.

Tears the size of fists fell onto the ash heap. "Waaaaah, my Little Goldie! Waaaaah!"

Golden Striped Tigress! Among the Ghost Tiger Clan, you might not find even one of these rare species out of ten thousand!

If it weren't for the fact that the current queen's bloodline is purer, he would have already made Golden Striped Tigress queen.

The Hundred Flame Ghost Tiger represents the inheritance of a great cause, while the Golden Striped Tigress is its true love! "My love is gone. I want them dead!"

The Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King transformed into human form and took out a piece of wood from his Storage Ring.

After a magical beast transforms into a human, using Storage Ring is quite reasonable. Many intelligent sixth- or fifth-tier magical beasts will also preserve the Storage Ring of a human cultivator after killing them.

Almost all of Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King's personal belongings are in this Storage Ring.

For example, this piece of wood is a spiritual object of considerable quality Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King kept tracing the wood with his fingers, making a box out of it. Then he squatted down and, with both hands, placed handfuls of the Golden Flower Consort's ashes into the box.

After closing the box, the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King solemnly said:

"Little Goldie, don't worry, I will avenge you! I will also raise your daughter well. Haven't you always been saddened by not being able to give me a son? When your daughter grows up, I will let her inherit your position and fulfill your long-cherished wish."

After putting the box away, Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King carried the Blood Fiend Ghost Tiger and flew back to Snow Moon Valley.

The Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King transformed back into its original form and roared to the sky!

Before long, nearly ten thousand members of the Ghost Tiger Clan gathered in front of the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King.

This includes four Seventh Order King of Beasts, dozens of sixth-tier Thousand Beast King, and hundreds of sixth-tier King of Beasts.

And a full eight thousand, fifth-tier King of Beasts! The Ghost Tiger Clan was never nearly as powerful as it once was, but thanks to the resources of Snow Moon Valley, the Ghost Tiger Clan's bloodline has grown stronger over the years.

Fortunately, the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King did not bring those fifth-tier elite Ghost Tiger with the lowest bloodline.

Otherwise, the number would be at least five or six hundred thousand! (In virtual games, monsters are experience packs for players, so the number of low-level monsters is bound to be exaggerated. There's no need to strictly consider whether the local resources can support such a large population. Moreover, Black Moon Ridge is one of the Golden Leveling Grounds for players in the Black-Corner Region in future versions, so the strength of the monsters is extremely exaggerated in the current version.) In front of the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King, the Hundred Flame Ghost Tiger, who was clearly two sizes smaller, asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King: "Human cultivators often say 'a wolf's ambition,' which is truly a wise saying. That Ghoul Wolf Clan has actually colluded with Demon Flame Valley in secret, attempting to suppress my Ghost Tiger Clan and dominate Black Moon Ridge. I, the king, will lead a large army to go to Demon Flame Valley and demand an explanation!"

The Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King wisely refrained from mentioning the Golden Striped Tigress at this moment, otherwise Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King Hundred Flame Ghost Tiger would stop him.

Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King, of course, had his own plans.

After all, based solely on Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger's account, it's not certain that this matter can be definitively concluded.

Choose the softest persimmons to squeeze.

Let's go cause some trouble in Demon Flame Valley first and sound out their opinions.

Hundred Flame Ghost Tiger, who was kept in the dark, was also furious upon hearing this news:

"That Ghoul Wolf Clan has some nerve! Your Majesty, I will go with you!"

As the Ghost Tiger army marched toward Demon Flame City, Yang Shan swaggered over to the stone tablet of Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord.

Things went surprisingly smoothly, and now no one can stop him from obtaining the inheritance!
