448: C448 The Rise of the Blood Clan

C448 The Rise of the Blood Clan

He doesn't want to die here, even though he did it first, but he doesn't want to die here either.

Seeing Cui Laojiu's behavior, Ye Tian looked down on the Vast Essence List even more. He was sure that there wouldn't be any good people in the Vast Essence List.

But after that, Ye Tian didn't attack. Instead, he looked coldly at Cui Laojiu who was lying on the ground and stopped what he was doing.

At this moment, the Cangyuan Continent was in the stage of using people. They couldn't easily lose an expert, otherwise, they would indirectly help the Blood Clan.

Although Ye Tian didn't think highly of the people in the Vast Essence List, the members of this Vast Essence List were among the people who could defend against the Blood Clan.

"It's not that I don't dare to kill you, but the current situation in the Cangyuan Continent is special. I will spare your life for now, and I will make some calculations in the future!"

Ye Tian looked at Cui Laojiu and used the pressure on his soul to scare him. Only in this way could he feel slightly relieved.

If the Vast Essence List was watching him day and night, Ye Tian would definitely go crazy.

Seeing Cui Laojiu nod obediently, Ye Tian ignored him and left the underground cave, returning to Luoshui City.

Seeing that the danger in the Luoshui City had finally come to an end, the stone in Ye Tian's heart could finally be put down. He gave a simple instruction to the members of the Ye family branch, and told them to return after that. He would personally select an important candidate to be the patriarch of the branch.

After completing the matters in Luoshui City, Ye Tian rushed back to the Imperial City. However, he didn't expect that in just a few days, the Blood Clan in Cangyuan Continent had already revealed itself. It was the true fangs!

At this moment, in the Imperial Court of Chu Country, all the officials were reporting about the appearance of the Blood Clan. The silhouettes of the Blood Clan had appeared in all directions of Chu Country. In just a short period of time, the entire Chu Country was engulfed in flames!

Such a situation was not only happening in the Chu Country. In North Wu, Dongzhou, and Nanyue, the figures of the Blood Clan appeared in all of the Cangyuan Continent that was illuminated by the sun.

"My king, the Dongguang City of the Great Chu has been completely occupied by the unusual creatures of the Blood Clan. General Zuo Qiu Ze has led troops to conquer the Dongguang City, but..."

In the Imperial Court, an official walked out, trembling with fear. He bowed and gestured, but the result of this battle was hard to say.

"General Zuo... will die for the country!"

After the minister finished speaking, Chu King's already solemn expression became even paler. One should know that the generals of Chu Country had settled down for many years and experienced a bloody storm before they could have their current position. This was the treasure of a dynasty.

A general like Hsiang Yunkong could only be nurtured by several generations of people. If he were to sacrifice himself, it would be a huge loss to Wang Ting.

After the minister finished speaking, all the officials looked at Chu King, who had a cold expression on his face. None of them dared to say a word.

Chu King really didn't know what to say now. The internal problem had just been solved, and the external problem had come again. Moreover, this external problem wasn't something that the Hsiang family could easily solve.

"General Qiu died in battle. I'm sure there isn't much left of his army, but we must take back Dongguang City. It is a city that has ten years of food stored in Great Chu. We can't afford to lose it!"

After settling down for a moment, Chu King returned to normal. Now, grief had no effect. He had to turn grief into strength to solve this problem completely.

The Dongguang City was located at the border of Chu Country. Although it was not a big place, it was a very important town. It could even be used to open up the front line.

Most importantly, the food storage in Dongguang City was enough for Chu Country to consume for ten years. If they lost this advantage, the entire Chu Country would be in a very disadvantageous position if they were to suffer a disaster next year.

"Immediately order West Suppressing King to transfer twenty thousand cavalry troops back to the Dongguang City. No matter the losses or losses, we must take back the Dongguang City!"

Chu King immediately made up his mind. Currently, only Hsiang Yunkong's side had a relatively relaxed situation. Although he had to guard against the tribes in Western Front, it was still much easier than defending the Blood Clan.

Twenty thousand cavalry, and a suitable general. In Chu King's heart, this matter could still be done.

"Father, West Suppressing King can't transfer so many soldiers at once. If the western tribes take advantage of the chaos and attack the important areas of our border to defend, I'm afraid the soldiers won't be able to withstand such exhaustion!"

Before the inner court official could issue the decree, the Crown Prince, Hsiang Yunjie, stood out and opposed Chu King's opinion.

After the peace of Chu Country, Hsiang Yunjie was conferred the title of Eastern Palace Lord by Chu King, which was also the most satisfying outcome. Hsiang Yunjie didn't disappoint anyone as he played an important role in the court assembly.

This time, Hsiang Yunjie expressed his opinion. Even if he offended Chu King, he wouldn't hesitate to do so.1

"Father, we can only recruit soldiers in the surrounding cities, or even in the Imperial City. We can't let Western Front take on an even heavier responsibility!"

"For this recruitment, those who have returned victorious can be conferred a title of nobility. According to the military merits, the treasures that my father has rewarded us can be distributed to the recruits. It should be enough..."

Hsiang Yunjie did not have any selfish motives in the face of such a big matter. As long as he could solve the matter of Blood Clan, Hsiang Yunjie would not care even if the Crown Prince Residence was demolished.

After he finished speaking, all the officials present felt gratified. The Chu Country would definitely prosper if such a Crown Prince could appear in the royal court.

Even Chu King felt gratified. Before this, if Hsiang Yunyang was faced with such a matter, he would definitely protect his own interests. Even if he took out something from the foundation of the national treasury, he wouldn't be able to touch a brick in his family.

Although this matter had been resolved, there was something more important in Chu King's heart than this matter.

"But if I don't dispatch them from West Suppressing King's side, there is no general in the Imperial Court who can command the army. Could it be that you want me to personally go out to battle?"

This was the thing that Chu King was most worried about, and also the most important thing.

In the Chu Country Imperial Court, after the news of General Zuo Qiu Ze's death spread, no one dared to lead an army to attack the Blood Clan. Everyone was afraid of dying at the hands of the Blood Clan.

Only the hot-blooded men under Hsiang Yunkong's command might be able to take up this role. After all, they walked on the edge of blades every day, and treated life and death as if they were drinking and eating vegetables.

Only with this mentality could they be truly fearless in the face of the Blood Clan. Although Chu King knew that the situation was complicated, there was nothing he could do about it.

"I am not talented, and I am willing to share my father's burden. After the recruitment, I will advance to the Dongguang City, and I will definitely reclaim the lost land!"

Right at this moment, Hsiang Yunjie suddenly knelt down on one knee. He had actually placed such a dangerous war on himself.

Other people would avoid such a matter, but Hsiang Yunjie had volunteered himself. This was something that Chu King did not expect.

"Good. You are indeed worthy of the bloodline of Hsiang family. Now, I will let you take the rank of the Left General. Recruit ten thousand soldiers within five days. You can transfer five thousand soldiers from the Imperial Guard in the Imperial City. As for the remaining five thousand soldiers, I think you have a way to do it!"

Chu King was more and more satisfied with Hsiang Yunjie. At such a critical moment, who could stand up for him? Who was the true hero of Chu Country?

Although it was only five days, Hsiang Yunjie still accepted the mission. After that, he immediately retreated and called out Golden Snake Guard Number Three, who had been hiding in the surroundings.
