Jiang Ping'an flew to the inner city government office, and Zhang Zhe led several important officials to greet him.
"Sect Master, Celestial Race bullied others too much! How dare they come to ask for our Human Race's blood!" Zhang Zhe said with an indignant look, "This is more than just invading the door!"
Several officials behind him also had angry faces.
They don't know what's going on.
Jiang Ping'an said with a stern face, "It is indeed too much to bully others! However, Celestial Race dares to be so blatant, I'm afraid it's all he can rely on."
"Zhang Zhe, let those Celestial Race come in to see me." He ordered.
Zhang Zhe and others were shocked when they heard this. This was not the usual tough style of their Sect Master (city lord).
Zhang Zhe recovered from the shock and took the order, "Yes, Sect Master."
Less than half an hour later, Zhang Zhe led a team of Celestial Race into the inner city government office.
This Celestial Race team consists of twelve people and two monsters that transformed into humans.
Three Celestial Race sages, two demon beasts are demon emperors, and the remaining Celestial Race are all Dao Inquiry Realm Great Power or Law Manifestation Realm top powerhouses.
They were very angry. One of them, Law Manifestation Realm Celestial Race, pointed at Jiang Ping'an and cursed, "Lowly Human Race, how dare you not go out of the city to greet us in person!"
"Kneel down and admit your mistake to us immediately, or we will destroy you and your city!"
Jiang Ping'an has been sitting on the throne of the city lord. He raised his hand and slapped Law Manifestation Realm Celestial Race: "Noisy!"
Upon seeing this, a demon king immediately took action to block Jiang Ping'an's slap.
Bang——
The two palms collided, and the demon emperor was knocked back five or six steps on the spot. Jiang Ping'an's palm wind still hit the Law Manifestation Realm Celestial Race's face.
Snap——
That Law Manifestation Realm Celestial Race was whipped out on the spot and hit the wall of the hall hard.
Celestial Race and the two Demon Emperors all had slightly changed expressions. One of the Celestial Race venerables said coldly, "Ye Chenzhou, we are here on behalf of the entire Celestial Race. If you dare to be rude and disrespectful of the power of God, you will bear the consequences!"
Jiang Ping'an said quietly, "You can also be bold and see how many people can come out Ping'an City."
The expressions of all Celestial Race and the Demon Emperor changed greatly, with scruples appearing on their faces.
Seeing that Celestial Race didn't speak for a moment, Jiang Ping'an said, "Tell me what you want."
The leader, Venerable Celestial Race, took out a list and read to it, "Ping'an City and Moonrise City will pay tribute to Human Race as follows: Dao Unification Realm two thousand drops of essence and blood, Dao Inquiry Realm ten thousand drops of essence and blood, Law Manifestation Realm fifty thousand drops of essence and blood, Dragon Transformation Realm two hundred thousand drops of essence and blood, Divine Treasury Realm one million drops of essence and blood, Body Tempering Realm three million drops of essence and blood, Primordial Sea Realm and Channel Opening Realm five million drops, and 10 million drops of essence and blood without practice!"
Zhang Zhe and other Ping'an City officials were all dumbfounded when they heard this. Even though all Ping'an City and Moonrise City had been trained, they might not have so much Human Race essence and blood.
Jiang Ping'an sneered, "You Celestial Race just send troops to destroy me Ping'an City!"
Another Celestial Race venerable said with a smile, "This is your Ping'an City tribute mission. If you can't hand over so much Human Race essence and blood, you will either die or use Essence Stones instead!"
When Zhang Zhe heard this, he immediately understood that these Celestial Race had clearly enlarged the amount of Human Race's essence and blood that Ping'an City had paid tribute to Human Race without authorization, so as to claim Essence Stones and facilitate corruption.
"I wonder how many Essence Stones can replace a drop of blood essence?" Zhang Zhe asked.
The Venerable Celestial Race who allowed Essence Stones to be substituted said, "It takes three pieces of Low-Grade Spirit Stone to replace one drop of unpractised Human Race blood. It takes three pieces of Low-Grade Spirit Stone to replace one drop of the Primordial Sea Realm and Channel Opening Realm require three pieces of Mid-grade Spirit Stone. To replace one drop of the Body Tempering Realm, three pieces of Superior Spirit Stone are required. To replace one drop of the Divine Treasury Realm's semen blood requires three pieces of Top-Grade Spirit Stone, replacing one drop of the Dragon Transformation Realm's semen blood requires thirty pieces of Top-Grade Spirit Stone, and replacing one drop of the Law Manifestation Realm's semen blood requires three hundred pieces of Top-Grade Spirit Stone, one piece of Spirit Artifact is required to replace one hundred drops of the Dao Inquiry Realm essence and blood, one piece of Spirit Treasure is required to replace one hundred drops of the Dao Unification Realm essence and blood!"
"No more than three-quarters of substitutions allowed!"
Zhang Zhe secretly cursed these Celestial Race as vampires, and actually secretly increased the amount of Human Race's essence and blood tribute from Ping'an City by at least three times.
He asked with a smile on his face, "It's too expensive. We don't have that many Essence Stones, Spirit Artifact and Spirit Treasure. Can we have less? One drop of blood and one Essence Stones."
"Haha, this is already a favor for you, and you still dare to bargain?" The Celestial Race venerable snorted coldly, "If you don't want to give Essence Stones, just wait until the city is destroyed and everyone is refined into blood essence!"
Zhang Zhe stopped talking and turned his eyes to Jiang Ping'an.
He is not weak in the knees, just to test the bottom line of these Celestial Race so that Jiang Ping'an can make a decision.
Jiang Ping'an said coldly to those Celestial Race: "You can only leave Ping'an City in a cup of tea, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"
When he said the three words "kill without mercy", his whole body burst out with murderous aura, covering all Celestial Race and the two Demon Emperors as if they were real.
The faces of all Celestial Race and the Demon Emperor changed greatly. The leader Celestial Race said coldly, "Ye Chenzhou, if you insist on acting on your own initiative, you will drag Ping'an City millions of people to be buried with you."
Jiang Ping'an stopped talking nonsense and immediately took out Profound Yellow Pagoda, shouting, "Take them all in!"
Profound Yellow Pagoda immediately flew towards Celestial Race and the Demon King, while growing in size, and a terrifying suction force came out from the bottom of the tower.
All Celestial Race and the Demon Emperor did not expect that Jiang Ping'an would dare to actually take action. They were so frightened that they immediately ran away, but it was already too late.
In the blink of an eye, all Celestial Race and the Demon Emperor were taken into Profound Yellow Pagoda.
"Master, how to dispose of this garbage?" Profound Yellow Pagoda asked with a wave of spiritual consciousness.
Since there were other people around, he changed his name to Jiang Ping'an and called him the master.
Jiang Ping'an said, "Take them until they are breathless and throw them outside the city wall."
Profound Yellow Pagoda flew out of the hall, flew into the air and became bigger, and then used Nine Heavens Thunderfire to refine the Tower Immortal's Celestial Race and the Demon Emperor.
In the main hall, Zhang Zhe asked Jiang Ping'an for instructions, "Sect Master, what should we do next?"
Jiang Ping'an calmly ordered, "Send the order and immediately bring all Moonrise City's people to Ping'an City. Celestial Race will not give up and will definitely attack Ping'an City and Moonrise City."
"But Moonrise City has more than two million people..." Zhang Zhe reminded.
Jiang Ping'an said decisively, "How much can be transferred!"
Moonrise City is not far from Ping'an City, just over two thousand miles. With Ping'an City's current financial resources, it should be possible to move most of the population before Celestial Race attacks.
Since Moonrise City has a small population and is protected by Heaven Rank's defensive array, Celestial Race may not be willing to spend energy attacking Moonrise City.
"Yes!" Zhang Zhe responded.
After Zhang Zhe left, Jiang Ping'an ordered to convene a meeting with all Ping'an City senior executives to inform them that Celestial Race came to ask for Human Race's blood, and announced the amount.
All Ping'an City executives were furious when they heard that Celestial Race came to ask for Human Race's essence and blood.
And when they heard the amount of blood essence listed by Celestial Race, they all immediately asked Jiang Ping'an to fight to the death. Even if they died in battle, Celestial Race would have to pay the price.
Jiang Ping'an raised his hands slightly, and everyone immediately fell silent, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing due to anger.
Jiang Ping'an said passionately, "Whether we agree to Celestial Race's arrogant, domineering, unreasonable, bloody and cruel demands, we Ping'an City will all die! Since we are all dead, why don't we resist?"
"As long as we are united, fight to the death, and make Celestial Race unable to bear the price, we still have a glimmer of hope!"
"Although Celestial Race is strong, they want to suppress the entire Great Barrens. Their power is scattered and they cannot send many troops to attack us!"
