The Demon Race of the Southern Frontier United!
Ye Zichen looked at the sword in his hand, its surface covered in cracks, and returned it to Long Han, unable to hide his disdain.
A sword from the lower realm could not withstand even the slightest fraction of Ye Zichen's strength.
"Just... like that, the whole clan was wiped out?"
Long Han, Xuanxiao, and all the elders had sensed that earth-shattering sword strike, its magnificent momentum and chilling Sword Qi!
The corpses of Hu Xiaowei and the others lying on the ground marked the destruction of the White Tiger Clan!
And his own sword had actually been ruined outright?
It had all ended in that short span of time?
Long Han wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and swallowed, unable to stop himself from marveling. His lord really didn't waste time! Anyone who dared make a move would die!
Hu Xiaowei had truly deserved it, attacking people the moment he arrived.
With such a great figure, Long Han felt he had truly found a good master this time!
"He is now my mount. Do any of you object?" He directed the question at the elders behind him.
"No!" Recovering from their shock, the elders hurriedly nodded.
"Very good. Let us go inside and discuss the rest."
Ye Zichen walked at the front, with the others silently following behind. They entered the dragon clan's great hall.
At the seat of honor in the great hall.
Ye Zichen sat quietly, Long Han stood beside Ye Zichen, and Xuanxiao and the elders below knelt obediently.
After what they had just witnessed, everyone finally understood what kind of existence Ye Zichen was! Those below felt uneasy even as they knelt.
"Repeat your request."
Ye Zichen glanced at Long Han and suddenly spoke.
"Senior, please quell the internal strife among the Demon Race so that we may establish friendly cooperation between the Demon Race and the Human Race!"
Long Han solemnly repeated his plea.
The elders below were puzzled. Since this lord had agreed to the clan leader's request, why was he sitting there so calmly?
"Mm."
Ye Zichen had also come here intending to unite the Demon Race in the name of the Azure Dragon Clan.
"Move to the sides."
Ye Zichen glanced at the people kneeling below. At his words, the Azure Dragon elders and Xuanxiao obediently withdrew to either side of the hall.
"Leaders of the Qilin and Vermilion Bird clans, appear."
As the words drifted gently from Ye Zichen's lips, a white light flashed in the center of the hall.
After flickering for ten breaths, the white light faded, revealing the leaders of the Qilin and Vermilion Bird clans!
"Damn, so that's how he's going to solve this?"
Xuanxiao's mouth hung wide open as he muttered involuntarily.
The other elders were also somewhat dumbfounded. So this was how it worked?
"Hm? Isn't this the Azure Dragon Clan's great hall? How did I get here?"
The two spoke at the same time, looking around in confusion.
Ye Zichen motioned for Long Han to speak. Anyone who dared make a move would be slapped to death on the spot.
"Qilin Clan Leader Bi Lin, Vermilion Bird Clan Leader Huang Beiyue."
Long Han greeted them first.
"How did the two of us get here?"
Bi Lin asked first. She had just been preparing to confront the Vermilion Bird Clan leader.
"As you can see, his lordship summoned you here with a single word."
Long Han gestured with his hand, and the two finally looked at the figure in the seat of honor.
"A human? Summoned the two of us?"
Huang Beiyue was utterly bewildered and astonished.
She was puzzled that a human was sitting in the seat of honor, and that everyone, including Long Han and Xuanxiao, was treating him with such respect.
She was astonished that Long Han had said this human had summoned the two of them here himself!
"What is this about?"
Bi Lin had thought of the same things, but she remained quite calm, wanting to see what would happen next.
After all, such a display of power left her no room to panic.
Seeing that the two were calm, Long Han finally explained, "The Demon Race is in turmoil. His lordship has just wiped out the White Tiger Clan for harming their fellow demons. Now we need to hear what you two think. Are you willing to set aside your grievances and have the entire Demon Race join hands?"
Only if the five great Demon Beast factions put aside their grievances and the Demon Race united behind a common goal could cooperation between the Demon Race and the Human Race proceed.
"This..." Both hesitated.
They were being asked to put aside their disputes and establish cooperation with the Human Race.
Confronted with this so suddenly, neither knew how to answer.
Seeing that they were still hesitating, Ye Zichen prepared to give them a warning. He had not come to waste time; he had only come for a dragon.
"The Demon Race unites, or you die."
As Ye Zichen's words fell, a pressure far surpassing that of a Half-Immortal descended directly upon the two. Ye Zichen controlled it precisely, leaving them hanging by a thread.
"Pfft!"
The sudden pressure shook them both, making them spit blood. Their knees sank into the floor, and terror and fear swept through their bodies in an instant!
This was beyond a Half-Immortal! An Immortal!
The two finally realized what kind of existence was sitting above them!
Seeing this, the others in the hall knew that Ye Zichen was exerting pressure. Afraid of being caught up in it, they all retreated two steps.
"My lord, I'm willing to set aside my grievances! The Demon Race needs to unite!"
"My lord, so am I!"
The two hurriedly spoke. If this continued, they would die here.
"Very good."
Ye Zichen tapped the armrest, then rose with his hands behind his back.
"Rewards and punishments must be clearly distinguished. The Demon Race will unite; if things remain this way in the future, this is a reward for you in advance."
With that, he tapped a finger lightly, and a flash of spiritual light entered each of their minds. A Cultivation Method appeared in the minds of Bi Lin and Huang Beiyue!
"This is! A top-grade heaven-tier Cultivation Method!"
The two cried out in alarm at the same time! This was far superior to the Cultivation Methods they practiced! Hadn't they struck it rich?
Hearing this, the others in the hall all turned to look at Ye Zichen. He had casually given away a top-grade heaven-tier Cultivation Method. Wasn't that far too generous?
Ye Zichen said that this was the lowest-grade trash he had; he had nothing worse.
"Xuanxiao."
"Yes! What are your orders, my lord?"
Xuanxiao bowed and stood ramrod straight as he answered.
Such power left no room for thoughts of resistance, and Xuanxiao had become a devoted fan of Ye Zichen!
"He has already handed you the Azure Dragon Clan's token. I will give you a chance to make amends through meritorious service."
"My lord! Please, give the order! Your subordinate would brave boiling water and raging fire, and would not shrink from dying ten thousand deaths!"
Xuanxiao was delighted. This was great! Making amends through meritorious service was his favorite!
"You will handle the establishment of relations between the Demon Race and the Human Race."
Ye Zichen gave the task to Xuanxiao. He had no time to do it himself.
"Yes, my lord! Your subordinate will surely complete the establishment of relations with the Human Race to perfection!"
Hearing this, Xuanxiao wept tears of joy.
Although the Demon Race and the Human Race had dealings, those involved only the demons within the territories of his Black Tortoise Clan and the Azure Dragon Clan.
Now the Demon Race was about to unite, and he could cooperate with the Human Race as the representative of the united Demon Race!
"We're leaving."
Having finished giving his orders, Ye Zichen signaled that Long Han could go.
As for what remained, if internal strife broke out among the Demon Race again, Ye Zichen had no intention of wasting any more words.
"Yes, Master."
Overjoyed, Long Han carried Ye Zichen away from the Azure Dragon Clan.
The events of the day had been far too unbelievable. From the destruction of the White Tiger Clan to the unification of the Demon Race, this lord had taken care of everything in just one day!
